Page 4 Brevard College, Brevard, ISlorth Carolina, October 23, 1936. SPORT SLANTS By James Sturgis May When the tornadoes journey down to Kannapolis to-morrow, they are to face one of the stong- est junior college teams in North Carolina. Wingate will be favor ed to take this game, but it is our belief that the Ranson-coached football team from Brevard Col lege will knock the top off the jug and turn in their finest perform ance of the year thus far— a sur prise victory over Wingate. Our Tornadoes showed up well against Biltmore College last Sat urday at Asheville by trouncing them 21—13. “Country” Hicks carried that pork thirty-five yards for one of our market s, and from all indications the lad looked like a scared rabbit. We suppose you wonder how Brevard scored all three extra points after touch downs. Clayton passed to Love for two of the extra markers and to McMinn for the other. It was a whale of a game on a sea of mud, and Brevard deserved to win. There were plenty of pen alties placed on the Tornadoes during this game by the officials, Well, we are really going to spread it on thick here the thirty' first of this month, for it is (not my birthday) Home-Coming Day for Brevard College; and the Student Council is now planning for a big day. The Boosters Club is also going to have a big hand in this, it is heard; but the football game will be the main show of the day. Thus far this seasan the home club has scored a total of twenty eight points, while the opponents have the margin with thirty three points scored. Below is the individual scoring list of Brevard Tornadoes: Love 2 McMinn 7 Atkins 6 Hicks 6 Brevard Takes Biltmore 21-13 Brevard defeated a fast, scrap py football team last Saturday afternoon when they trounced Biltmore College before a small weather-beaten crowd of spectat ors at the Municipal Park in Ash eville. The Brevard team scored im mediately after the beginning of the game. Clayton passed to Hen drix for a distance of forty yards and then on a line play about sev en yards were gained. Atkins took the ball over for the first marker of the season on the next play. Ed Llayton played one of the best games of his career as he ran, toss ed, and booted the pork hide over the gridiron. Brevard scored its other touchdowns when McMinn took an intercepted pass over; and our flashing center, “Coun try” Hicks, carried the other over after recovering the ball. Hicks went over standing up; but John Odom should be given due credit for this touchdown, for he was really doing some real blocking for the home club. Captain Ed wards showed up very well in the line along with Bill Ferguson for the Tornadoes. Coach Hipps’ Biltmore College eleven had a system of laterals that baffled the Ranson men throughought the game. Bre vard’s fast charging line showed superiority over Biltmore Col lege’s foward wall during the en tire game.

Clement Home-Coming When you see everybody with smiles so wide October 31, you need not be surprised, for this is the day Brevard College meets Belmont Abbey for the annual home-coming classic of the year. This will be the main event of the day;several other, important happenings, however, are schedul ed to takij place here on the cam pus. Many of the old grads of former years will be back with us for the day, and we will all be pulling tooth and nail for Bre vard Cjllege to come through with a victory over Belmont Ab bey boys. Home-coming Day is being talked everywhere by students who formerly attended classes at this institution and who are now working or still futhering their education at some higher school of learning. Many of these students are planning to make this their grand day of re union. It is being planned to be a gala event for all who attend. A good many parents of students now enrolled in college will be here for this day of celebration, while others from nearby towns who know nothing of going to school here will attend the ball game here in the afternoon. It is understood that a large crowd is coming up with the visit ors for thi cDntest, and with in dications everyone at Brevard Col lege may look forward to the thir- See the fourth column Ciemson Theatre PROGRAM WEEK OF OCT. 26 Monday—Tuesday Patsy Kelly Jack Haley Stuart Erwin Arhne Judge in “Pigskin Parade” SEE OUR Representatives for your laundry and dry cleaning.

Now I am speaking in terms of the bell-ringer—poor soul! One minuta he is adored and and sought after by all; and the next minute, when the innocent soul has done only the same thing again, he is spoken hashly of, s.nd abhorred. The first thing he does in the mornings causes him to be 3lamed and to be thought-oh how aadly- . He lives such a hard life!! He crawls out of bed in the mornings while we are sleeping peacafully. That in itself is bad for him, but quite all right with us. But he can’t be satisfied with that. Oh, ho! Definitely not!! He tias to come over and pull mean ingly on a rope to which is attach ed that at times despised thing, a bell!! Never was sound more un welcome than the clattering of the rising bell at 6^30 in the morn ing. With many unpleasant mut- terings in undertone, and som3 not quite so silent, we crawl unwillingly out of our warm, warm beds wondering why some people are permitted to live. The next bell, which signifies baeakfast, is not so unwelcome. Since we’re up, we might as well do something about it. And at any rate the thought of food is never unwelcome to many of us. The next several bells we re ceive with mingled feelings. Some of us are glad, some are sorry, and some (who have no classes before chapel) are in different. At chapel we all stir around a little, and from then on till lunch it’s just as I previously described it. Then the—oh thnce-welcom- ed- lunch bell. The afternoon class bells are vi^aited for by some with more dread; and some who- fortunate whether they realize it or not are absolutely unconcerned.
