PAGE SIX CLARION NOVEMBER 22, 1950 Tornadoes Will (Continued From Page One) CLARION REVIEWS LION-TORNADO RIVALRY This afteincon will be the sixth time that a team trained by the present Brevard coaching staff has faced an eleven from Mars Hill, and tiiis year’s team will play against a background of which it has reason to be proud. Of the five games in this sequence, Brevard lost only one— the first. A fumble on the Mars Kill three-yard line spelled de moralization and disaster in this first contest, to a Brevard team that Coach Andrews considers the best that Brevard College ever had. Disorganized by the loss of the ball by fumble after a drive that had carried the ball almost ov er from the opening kick-off, the team did not rally; and Mars Hill scored twice on passes, just before I he half and at the end of the game. The first downs were about ec]ual, as was the net yardage gained. BREVARD’S ASHWORTH ACE IN ’47 In the next, a night game at Brevard on the Thanksgiving of ’47, Brevard returned the compli ment by defeating the Lions, 13-0. On a muddy field, the Tornadoes c-'irried the ball at will through and around the Mars Hill line. The spark plug of the offense was Har ry Ashworth, a local boy, who scored both touchdowns. The first came as the result of a 40-yard off-tackle run. The second came late in the fourth quarter, when Ashworth, seemingly stopped in the center of the line, spun off the tackle and went around the end to score, standing up. At Mars Hill on Thanksgiving day of the following year, the Tor nado team was cocked and primed to fire the whole works in one afternoon. The first three times the Brevard team had possession of the ball, it scored a touchdown. thus ending a very disastrous quarter for the Mars Hill Lions. The running of Hershey Hipps, Bambam Martin, and Abie Thomas was nothing short of sensational. As a blocking back and a de fensive line backer, Clifton Rig gins played almost all-American £ otball all afternoon. By continued running, passing, and pass inter ception, the Brevard team amassed 1 total of 33 points while allowing the opponents to score a lone touchdown. All who witnessed this game will remember that the ;'0_c’.iin3 staff substituted the en tire tornado squad during the second half to keep the score down. WIN TWICE IN ’49 Because of mix-ups in the sche dules of both teams, the scho:ls found it expedient to meet twice on the g idiron in 1949. In the first contest, played in Brevard as a homecoming feature, on October 29, ihe teams proved to be quite evenly matched. During the entire Ei St period the teams were forced to punt repeatedly, neither team able to gain advantage. In the second quarter when Mars Hill fumbled in midfield, Brevard ;ained possession and moved the ball down to the 15-yard line. Eb bie Wilkerson hit Jack McCauley in the end zone for a touchdown. At this point the necessary marjin of victory was gained by a perfect placement, also by McCauley. The half ended with the Torna does out front, seven to nothing. The third period was a repetition of the first period, with both teams kicking frequently, not able to gain when the chips were down. The defensive tackling of Bruce Jamerson began to tell over the Lions backs. Because of a faulty kick in the fourth period. Mars Hill took over on Brevard’s 40 yard line and with renewed vigor started a drive that resulted in a six-pointer. The crucial extra point was blocked by the entire Brevard line.

Wi.h a cheering section of less tlu.n ten behind them the Torna does ca.ried to the heavier and m: re deceptive Catamounts a fight ;iiat the teachers are not likely to , forget. At the beginning of the first V trter, the To nadoes kicked off to the Catamounts. And the cats o-e into the Brevard defense, badly weakened by recent injuries, in a way that set storm signals waving for a bad night. On a series of runs through the middle, around right end, and one delayed pass, they went marching down the field to tally the first six points of the ball game. Tiie conversion for the extra point was no good, and the Cata mounts led the Tornadoes, 6-0. Beasley returned the Cullo whee kick-off to the Brevard twen y-nine; and Mitchell, sweepmg wide around left end, picked up a first down—the first of six collect ed by his squad during the con test. Three downs later, the Tornadoes were forced to kick; but they held the Catamount return and regain ed the ball on the downs after the cats had forged to the Brevard nine-yard line.

The Catamounts sccrcd on two plays, to make the count 12-0. The extra point sailed between the uprights to make the score an unlucky 13. The Catamounts kicked, then took the ball on downs. After one first down, Brevard took over. A pass from Mitchell to Dillard was good; but Dillard fumbled and the ball was covered by Western Car olina. After one play from scrim mage the half ended. Western Carolina kicked off to begin the second half. Brevard, stopped on the thirty-six, was forced to kick. Punts were ex changed throughout the third quarter, which ended when Frank Arnette, Brevard student last year, intercepted one of Mitchell’s passes. At the beginnin:: of the fou'th luarter it looked as if the scorin j were over. It was over, until the last play of the game. Just before the final whistle a Catamount on a reverse around right end went 55 yards for the third tally. Although behind from the first quarter, the Tornadoes gave the Catamounts a hard and rough fight. No one is to be credited with being a standout, for every play er hit hard and played well against heavy odds.
