Mamfd Tam«Ko iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitMiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Even though the Brevard Col lege Tornado basketball team was defeated tvidce by Wilming ton Junior College in the Re gion 10 playoffs, they are to be commended on a superb and out standing effort for the year. Joe Forte is to be praised for his outstanding basketball per formance for the whole year. Joe pulled the team out of sev eral close ones and made the difference between winning and losing. Ray Hoxit, the big man on the team, was responsible for most of the rebounds collected by Bre vard. In such games as the tour nament contest with Lees Mc Rae, Ray controlled the boards and definitely was the main ef fort in the victory. Gene Allen, the steady ^arp- shooter, who racked up a siza ble amount of points, has bee^n “Mr. Reliable” for two years when the team was trying to take a close one. Last year, he hit on 52 of 56 foul shot at tempts. Doug Rogers, the man on the team who is noted for banking those beautiful shots off the backboard, has turned in a fine season. His assists, along with the points he made, greatly help ed the team and its cause. Eddie Schwab and Leahman Stanley, two standout freshmen, were significant mainly in the defensive work. Both boys are expected to be assets to the Tornado squad next year. The other players — Glover Summey, Charles Cort, David Cort, Monroe Whitt, and Jimmy Holder — turned in fine per formances when they were call ed on. 11 — North Greenville (here) Lees McRae (there) TENNIS — April 1 — Mars Hill (here) 4 — Anderson (there) 6 — Wingate (there) 17 — Anderson (here) 22 — Gardner Webb (there) 25 — Wingate (here) 27 — Asheville-Biltmore (here) 29 — Open May 1 — Gardner Webb (here) 3 — Asheville-Biltmore (there) 6 — Conference Meet (Lin- ville, S.

The track team, baseball team, and tennis team are busy work ing out and absorbing the beautiful sunshine. Concerning th^e track team, it seems that many of the boys who appeared to be good prospects for the coming season, have lost interest or dropped out. However, three freshmen Bob Malsby, Wilson Jen kins and Mels Carbonell are ex!pected to give the team added strength. Malsby, who was top man in cross-country, hoipes to better the school record of 2:01 in the 880 yd. run. Jenkins looks strong in the 440 yd run and the shotput, while Carbonell s special ties will be the broad jump and the low hurdles. The first track meet will be held here April 1, against Wofford College. This college is one of the senior colleges which the Tornado cindermen will be competing against. The regular season sched ule includes the News-Piedmont Relays and the Da vidson Relays held at Furman and Davidson Colleges resipectively. At these meets, the Tornadoes will com pete with some of the 'best track men in the southeast. The baseball team under the direction of Coach Gil Coan, Sr. of Brevard, has also been practicmg strenuously these past two weeks. There are seven returning lettermen who will provide much of the power of the team: Roger Cumbie, Doug Rogers, Charles Cort, Joe Forte, Gil Coan, Jr., Carlos Perez, and Artie Irvine. The freshmen who are trying for starting posi tions on the team will add much in overall strength to the club. Leahman Stanley, Monroe Whitt, John Poe, Joe Humphries, Jerry Jenkins, Mike Brown, and Bob Reeves, are all showing good capabilities in prac tice. The first game will be April 4, at Anderson Junior College. Wilmington Wins Region Play-off Wilmington downed the Bre vard College Tornadoes for the second time at the Wilmington gym, March 11, by a score of 78-66.
