Band, Majorettes To
Perform At Games
ADVICE TO EXPECTING FATHERS . . . Most expectant fathers
pace .the hospital delivery ward while waiting, for the new arrival.
“Get your mind on other things,” say “Stinky” Martin and Heyward
Buchanan. While these boys were in Asheville at the football game,
their wives babies were born. “Stinky” has a son and Heyward, a
daughter. Each weighed eight pounds. Have a cigar?
ANGEL ON TEAM ... Big white wings .substituted Lanue Floyd’s
arms for a moment in the Asheville-Biltmore game. Making a record
flying leap, he gave his all to gain a first down which would have
been goal to go for the Tornadoes. The officials, after bringing the
ball back across his long body to his knees, gave the ball to AsheviUe-
Biltmore. Nice try, Floyd! x;
NOTHING LEFT UNSAID . . . The wives of the football boys
introduced many new yells at the Asheville-Biltmore game last Fri
day night; “Kill ’em Beef"—
Under the direction of Mr. Art-
ley, head of the Brevard college
music department, a new drill
band will make its appearance be
tween halves of the remaining
home football games.
Composed of twenty-eight pieces,
the band will be accompanied by
three high-stepping majorettes,
Pauline Mallard, Billie Rhodes, and
Elaine Orr, and one drum major,
Jim Wofford.
Most of the band members are
new students who have had ex
perience in marching bands in
high school. The first of its kind
ever to be organized at Brevard,
Ave know there will be a large
crowd on hand at the high school
field October 9 when the Torna
does meet Blue Ridge school and
the band makes its first appear
ance.
“Pull his leg off”—“Hit him.
Bull”—and “If you don’t get
him, wait until I get you home.”
These and many others added to
the spirit Brevard students show
ed in a losing game.
TWO BUSLOADS MAKE TRIP
... Mrs. Pylant kindly let all the
girls have permission to go to the
game in Asheville. A fine pep
rally was carried out on the buses
and everyone was warmed up by
game time.

the crowd were many oW stu
dents. Aletha “Shrimp” Cagle
and Bill McIntyre were spotted
in the stands and told friends of
their plans of marriage sometime
in December. “Ig” Curry and
Vera “V. P.” Pearson, two of
last years’ most popular coeds,
were also seen at the event.

“BAM BAM” MARTIN
This young man came to Brevard
this fall, and already he is as well
known as any student on the cam
pus. His home is in Albany, Ga.,
a city credited with giving us two
other fine ball-players and excel
lent students, Morgan Murphy and
Ramon McLeod.
“Bam Bam” scored many touch
downs for Albany high'school and
has continued to prove his \vorth
by scoring our first touchdown
against WCTC “B” in the first
game of the season.
Besides participating in football,
Martin plays baseball. He is a
shortstop, he says, and we know
everyone will be watching him next
spring. If is as good as they say
he is, there will be plenty of ex
citement in those games. ,
After finishing here, Martin plaus

Cheerleaders For
College Elected
Ten students have been elected
to serve as cheerleaders for the
1948 football season. Those select
ed are as follows: Betty Millard,
Maxine Renshaw, Frank Roberts,
“Kat” Adams, Jack Prince, Bill
“Bad Eye” Taylor, Eleanor Orr,
Bruce Melvin, Pauline Mallard, and
Pat Mason.
With this fine group of boys
and girls, we should have a cheer
ing section of which any college
would be propd. The team was ask
ed what they‘thought about student
spirit in the WCTC game. Most
players said it was aU right but
that there was room for improve
ment. Several boys said they didn’t
notice the cheering, which means
we could do a lot better. There is
plenty of noise made when the
team is on the move but they are
too busy to notice or need it then.
In the game against Asheville-
Biltmore we let out only two yells
when they were needed, and,.be
lieve it or not, many of those play
ers turned around to see what all
the cheering was about. This group
of boys which we call our team

“Bam Bam” is also the possessor
of a wonderful baritone voice, so if
you don’t like sports you can still
be a “Bam Bam” fan. He is going
to display his voice to the students
this year by singing with the dance
band.
Brevard College’s 1948 football
season opened with a bang here
on the night of September 18 when
the Tornadoes defeated a hard-
charging WCTC “B” team, 13-7.
Coach Alexander’s boys, showing
promise of being one of the strong
est junior college elevens this year,
drove to the WCTC four yard line
early in the first quarter but could
n’t muster enough power to score.
However, just before the half, the
Tornadoes were not to be denied,
and “Bam Bam” Martin, running
on a reserve, broke over tackle
and rambled 25 yards for the first
score. Hipps booted the extra
point and the Tornadoes held a 7-0
lead.at halftime.
In the third period Brevard
chalked up another marker when
Sorrells covered a blocked WCTC
punt in the' end zone. Cullowhee
came back in the last quarter with
a strong passing attack. Cagle hit
Green with an aerial on the Bre
vard 45 and Green outran the sec
ondary for the visitor’s only touch
down. The game ended a few min
utes later with the Tornadoes tak
ing home a well-deserved victory
LOSE TO A-B
.^Last Friday night the Tornadoes
traveled over to Asheville and en
countered the strong Asheville-
Biltmore Bulldogs at Memorial
.stadium.
Biltmore scored early in the
game on a pass-lateral play from
Mitchell to Maulk to White. Bre
vard played a defensive game most
of the night and only once were
inside the A-B 15. The Bulldogs
went over again in the third period
on a quarterback sneak.
.“Bull” Traynham led the Torna
do line and Hershey Hipps - stood
out in the backfield, completing
six of eleven passes.
AT LAURINBURG
Tomorrow night our boys travel
down to Laurinburg where they
will take on Presbyterian Junior
college. Said to have a fine squad
this year, the Maxton lads are apt
to find the- going a little rough
against the Tornadoes. PJC is rated
a one touchdown favorite but they
may find themselves one touch
down behind when the final whis
tle blows.
needs and expects 100% student
support at every game to win their
share of football glory for Bre
vard college.
