After reading all dope possible
on the basket-ball teams in the
Junior C 0 11 ege
Conference this
season, we are
confident that
the right team
won the playoff
game at the
Davidson (bllege
Gymnlast Tues
day night.
Six of the junior college quints
entered this tournament with the
Cadets of Oak Ridge Military In
stitute winning games with Pres
byterian Junior College and Boil
ing Springs. In the pairings for
the finalgame of the tournament
the Oak Ridge cagers were pitted
against the strong Balmont Ab
bey basketeers. The Cadets took
this game with ease and won the
championship title of the tourna
ment sponsored by the Presby
terian college at Davidson.
Mars Hill Junior College cagers
claim the title in the junior col
lege competion for the past sea
son, in the state of North Caro
lina; but we think that the actual
champion is the winner of t h e
Davidson C o liege tournament.
Here is more power to the schools
participating i n this tournament
and the high hopes that a Bre
vard College team will be entered
next year.
A FIGHT?
The boxing program which is
being sponsored by The Clarion,
will prove to be one of the big
gest successes of the year. Before
plans were made fo»* this boxing
card, several members o f the
student body and also members
of the faculty were approached;
and the same answer was given
each time the question was asked;
“Yes, it sounds great.” That
is the reply we received when
asking for opinions on the prize
fight.
Not that it matters; but Ralph
Ritchie looks as if he may be the
infielder that Coach Ranson needs
for the position at short stop.
Leon Stubbs would look pretty
good behind the batter, acting as
catcher for the Tornado. Grover
Boyd and “Dutch” Eldridge are
holding out for a $50,000, contract
before they will offer their ser
vices this season. Ralph Proffit
has a fast ball that should trouble
’em plenty.
Coach Ranson met his better
man Saturday on-th« tennis court.

1Prospects for the campaign art

believed that the Brevard College

from six different states will be
represented this year on the

Letter men who have reported
this season from the crack team
that Ralph James had h'ei^e last
year are Sinclair Deal, Sam
Tweed, and George Lee. It is
possible that Harold Severs and
James Rogers will report later

LAW OF THE RANGER
Wilkinson And
Brown Sign For
Opening Feature
Howard Wilkinson, resident of
Ross Hall, and Dallas Brown, a ’■
member of Taylor Hall, have
signed an agreement with the
sports department of the clarion
staff to fight a ten-round deci
sion bout here on April 24.
The program, consisting o f
thirty rounds of amateur prize
fighting, will be sponsored by the
CLARION.
The place in which the bouts ,
will be held has not been de
cided on at the present time,
but in all probability it will be
the Brevard High School Gym
nasium.
Editor’s Note. These bouts
will be strictly collegiate. No
member participating will re
ceive any money or compen
sation in,any way.
WILSON vs. CURTIS
Norman Curtis and Gene Wil
son, both residents of Taylor
Hall, will fight in the semi-finals
on the card, which will be an
eight-round decision bout.
Others who have signed to par
ticipate on the program are Car
ter Tweed and Rodney Carr.
These boys will fight a four round
bout on the collegiate card. Two
other four-round bouts will com
pose the remainder of the pro
gram. Meixell, Rogers, Horn,
and Medford will probably be
matched in the remaining bouts
t)n this program.
Strict training will be forced
for all the members participat
ing in this prize fight. Sparring
practices will be held daily by
members of the group. A phy
sician of the county will examine
each boy participating in this
event, before he enters the ring.
