SPORTS LINE By Bobby Hayes For a quick look at the sports scene, here’s a look at my shorts. First of all, I would like to humbly apologize to the Wake Forest Demon Deacon football team for ranking them fifth in my pre-season Bottom Five football teams in the country. The Deacons have responded to being called one of the nation’s worst football teams and nicknames such as “Mackovic’s Meatballs” (a reference to head coach John Mackovic) by storming out to win their first two games, includding a stunning 22-21 upset over 12th rated Georgia. Coach Mackovic deserves much praise for the way he has handled adversity. And I am sure that our own Coach Sam Lewis, an alumnus of Wake Forest, has managed to crack a vengeful smile or two himself. Congratulations to Brevard College student Brad Daniel for winning the L&M Records Football Contest. Four people missed two games to tie for top honors, but Daniel won by missing the tiebreaker by only two points, Utah State and host San Jose State played a football game earlier this season that merits a mention. Utah State kicked a 34- yard field goal as time ran out to tie the game. So what, right? Well, defensive coaches, this made the final score a 48-48 deadlock, the highest scoring tie in NCAA history. Imagine scoring 48 points and not winning. One of the biggest factors in Houston Oiler’s running back Earl Campbell’s career is the fact that he is a total team player. Writer David Castwens of'The Houston Post puts it in per- HHHBBgHHBHTiainnnHnBfnH sgective. “If it were up to Earl,’ he writes, “he would probably change the name of the ‘I’ for mation to the ‘we’.” The New England Patriots organization should be applauded for the way they handled Daryle Stingley. Stingley, a former Patriots wide receiver, was paralyzed from the waist up in an exhibition game collision lasi season. Rather than offering only sympathy to Daryl, the Patriots dug a little deeper. They named him Executive Director of Player Personnel for their club, a move that should profit both Stingley and the Patriots as well. Congratulations to the New England organization for making a trying ordeal a little easier. As my readers from last year will recall, I award an annual “Dumbest Statement Award” to some deserving sportscaster for an endeavour made in the line of duty. Unless someone comes on strong in the last couple of months of 1979, the recipient of my “1979 Dumbest Statement Award” is Tony Kubek, NBC baseball analyst. Tony clinched the award during the All-Star Game when he commented on how the hard infield was per mitting many ground balls to go for base hits. Tony stated that, “The hard infield has been caused by the absence of rain in the Pacific Northwest this season” (the game was played in Seattle). The only problem with this statement was that the game was being played indoors at Seattle’s Kingdome. Unless they are having a tremendous problem with the roof, I would not think rain to be a factor. Thanks, Tony. Soccer Team Victorious By Bobby Henson Brevard College scored it’s first victory of the soccer season September 11th with a 1-0 shutout over Warren Wilson’s B team. The game was a tough defensive struggle especially in the first half. Both teams had several chances to score, but neither team could capitalize on their opportunities. The first half ended with the score knotted at zero. However, in the second half, the situation was changed. With ten minutes to go in the game, Brevard scored the winning goal when Jeff Loftin attempted a corner kick. The kick by Loftin was missed, but Juan Dieppa controlled the rebound and deposited the ball in the goal. The following Thursday the Tornados ran their record to two wins and one loss with a 3-0 victory over Presbyterian. The only score of the first half came when Jeff Loftin scored on a corner kick. Two minutes into the second half, the Tornados picked up their second goal on a twenty yard shot by Ted Winston making the score 2-0. After 75 minutes of play, Brevard picked up it’s third and final score; when Eddie Pagon fired a thirty-five yard shot into the goal making the final score 3-0. Coach Scar borough was pleased overall with the performance of the Tornados. However, he stated that the defense was much better due to a change he made after the Warren Wilson game. His only major concern lies with the Tornado’s goal keeper Sam Licata, who is suffering from injuries.

C Minick, Date To Lead Squad by Jenny Holladay Several energetic, prospective cheerleaders met for three days (Sept. 3-6) before try-outs to develop rubber arms and legs and scream out loud. Returning cheerleaders, both girls and guys, instructed a successful skills clinic behind Boshamer Gymnasium for various in terested students. According to Dan “Big Mac” McLeroy, co captain of the men’s side of the team, there was an especially “good turn-out.” From the looks of the coor dination of the participants and the sounds of strong vocal cords, try-outs proved the clinic was successful. As Big Mac says, it was “tough competition,” out several Brevard faculty and student leaders decided on six new girls and five new guys from the fifteen girls and seven young men who tried out. Women participants were judged on a scale of 0-5 on a basis of poise, coordinator, attitude, per sonality, and skill (including projection, volume and pronunciation' experience, and gymnastics abili, , The men were judged'm the same categories with added tests foV' strength and lifting ability. Representatives on the Brevard cheerleading squad for this year will include sixteen members, eight girls and eight guys.
