TORNADO WARNING! wingate By 4-1 \^ithout Reggie MacAfee
By JOHN COLLINS
This afternoon a bunch of
lumbered into Taylor Dorm. They had just lost the
Intramural Flag Football Championship and fe^ ex-
actlv the way I’ve felt a couple of times. It was a
toujh game.” Somebody said, “Yea, they’re always
tough when you lose!!’
And this holds true in intramurals as solidly
as in any other sport. For these guys are all from
different molds, suddenly thrown together and told
that they hav^? a team for their hall and must play.
The very second you enter open competition
with others you are automatically expected to win.
People see in you themselves, and no matter how large
nr small the victory, it means something! Its tne
satisfaction of saying to ,T^Vniro?a
something. It is the final goal for all people of a
unTtld g?oup. For instance, your hall is a group,
thev live together, work together, play together, and
now they’re going to have to get out and fight to-
That’s right, fight together! It seems strange
to say that, but when you are on the soccer field
and you can’t hear yourself for the flag football
bunch cheering and yelling, there’s more than jUSt
a simple game going on. It’s the combined effort of
many people in a battle for their pride and foith in

pride than females thus the appeal of the intramu-
rals to the men. For he looks at his counterpart and
says: I believe I am-a better man than you, and so
ciety says this is a nice way to prove it. So, with
that little thought in mind he does his very best to
achieve self - honor. The glory aspect is lost, for if
a person feels he played well, it is enough.
Some people say it’s just a game; but when the
chips are down, we all like to win. And if the in
tramurals are any example of the freshman, all I
can offer is praise. For they’ve entered into this
thing head-on and display a spirit unmatched by any
class to reside here yet. I want to say this much;
the freshmen this year have been more athletic-mind
ed than any yet. This is evident in the concern over
the intramurals and the support the teams have re
ceived in athletics. So, we’ll keep saying it’s just a
game, but I’m afraid they will still hate to lose!
Brevard’s tremendous soccer
team became the first team to
score on Wingate College this
year. Wingate has not lost a
game in 24 outings. The Torna
does won by a score of 4-1 in
last Saturday’s game.
It was by far the best effort
of the year for Brevard. Play
ing on a wet and muddy field,
Brevard controlled the ball most
of the game. Along with good
ball control was great defen
sive play by the entire team.
Charlie Ski’es, who has con
tinuously stopped the opposing
teams from scoring, had twen-
tv-six saves.
Brevard Downs
M-A By 4-1
Brevard defeated Montreat-
Anderson 4-1 in their other
contest last week.
Montreal scored early, but
Brevard bounced 'back in the
last half with three goals icing
the game for the Tornadoes.
Both Brackie Brenizer and
Mike Michner scored two goals
apiece.
Bearing a 6-3 overall record,
Brevard has yet to be defeated
on their home course. They are
3-1 in conference action.
The team will take on Sand
hills tomorrow. Brevard will
meet Wingate at Belmont - Ab
bey’s field, to decide which
team will go to the nationals if
Brevard defeats Sandhills.
Running without the injur
ed Reggie MacAfee, who paced
the cross - country team this
year, the Brevard Roadrunners
defeated Carson - Newman by
a score of 29 - 39. The meet was
held on Milligan’s home course.
Finishing 1st and 2nd for the
Roadrunners were Lennox
Stewart and Larry Lanier with
times of 19:34 and 19:35. They
were pushed throughout the
3.6 miles by two other runners,
one from Carson - Newman and
the other from Milligan, who
just did not die out.
Western Willie Davidson
placed fifth while freshman
Pete Jensen finished seventh
for Brevard. The fifth man for
the team was Jim Husbands
placing 13th.
The meet was a very interest
ing one for Brevard, in fact, al
most disastrous. The team got
lost going to Milligan which is
about a two - hour drive from
Brevard.
In order to make the meet on
time, the Roadrunners had to
dress in the car. Having com
pleted this successfully, they ar
rived at Milligan just when
the starter’s hand was in the
air to fire the gun. Fortunately
the starter saw the team jog
ging down to the starting line
and waited for them to get out
of their sweats. The Roadrun
ners jumped into the race with
out any warm-up at all.
Tomorrow, Brevard will com
pete in the regional cross-coun
try meet to be held on Bre
vard’s home course.
On November 4, the Roadrun
ners will travel to MiUigan Col
lege to run against Appalachian
University. Appalachian has lost
only one cross - country meet
this year — to Western Caro
lina University.
Brevard will continue to try
to uphold their 3V2 years with
out a single loss.
