Lead Attack On Gardner-Webb
Rambling With The
Sports Editor
By ED MOORE,
BILL MARTIN LOST FOR G-W GAME ... “Bam Bam” Martin
received a back injury during the game against High Point “B”, and
chances are that he won’t play at all against Gardner-Webb tomorrow
night. Even if things improve by then, he probably won’t display any
of those long runs he made in the last game.
Lanue Floyd, who had a bad ankle, and Walter Owens, who was
in the same shape Martin is, will plaj^n the game tomoirow night,
however. The Tornadoes still lack their full strength because these
boys haven’t fully recovered from injuries received in the Lee-McRae
and High Point games. ,
• * •
ALL WE’VE GOT . . . These boys and girls who will be here for
Homecoming are going to notice our school spirit at the game, so
let’s really give out with the yells. There .will be a pep rally Friday
night at seven o’clock in the auditorium. Let’s all try to be there.

GIRLS’ FOOTBALL TEAM ... Talent Night, which will be held
around the twelth of Noven^er, is featuring an all girl football team.
This is only one in the large variety of acts which will be in the
form of a four ring circus. “The Greatest Show on Earth!”
♦ « «
TRAVEL BY AIR ... The Tornadoes have lived up to their name
in the past two games by displaying many beautiful passes. “Little”
Hipps has really put Tornado power behind that “Pigskin.” That’s
the way Riggins likes ’em.
The Homecoming game against Gardner-Webb will also show
Brevard’s passing power on wide end runs. Gardner-Webb has the
heaviest and strongest line we have come against this year.
K old records hold true, we will be the victors of that game.
Taking sports as a whole, with only one exception, Brevard has beat
Gardner-Webb at all the home games, and lost all games at Gardner-
Webb; .

KNOWS HER TEAMS . . . Mrs. Mahota Rankin, who lives with
her hustband. Footsie, in the married folks apartments, seems to be
a whizz at picking football winners. In The Transylvania Times con
test, Mahota has received honorable mention for the past two weeks.
She’U be coming up with lots of theatr^ tickets at this rate!

PRACTICE FIELD ECHOES . . . Hit that dummy McGill—you
move like an old lady! Swicegood says, “Get mean, get mean.” Is
that right “Mo”? Get your supper off your mind, “Stinky”. “That’s
all today, boys, take three laps and 'shower down.”

Little” Hipps
m
“LITTLE” HIPPS, 130 pounds
of hard-running tailback, will
lead the Tornadoes against the
Gardner-Webb Bulldogs when
the two junior college elevens
meet tomorrow night on the high
school field. Hershey has display
ed some brilliant broken-field
running and proved to be an ac
curate passer in the last few
Brevard games and is expected
to see' much action tonight.
There are few persons with cour
age enough to admit they haven’t
got it.
The secret of success is a secret
to many people.

With most of their injured play
ers recovered, the Tornadoes will
be set to break loose with lighting -
fury when they meet Gardner-
Webb’s Bulldogs in the homecom
ing game tomorrow night. Clifton
Riggins, who caught a touchdown
pass against High Point last week,
and Hershey Hipps, ^Kvard’s hard-
running tailback, -wm be in top
jShape for the contest. John Mc-
Kissick, another h a r d-running
back is also ready and is expected
to see plenty of action with “Bam
Bam” Martin not expected to play.
The boys from Gardner-Webb
have a strong team and made a
fine showing against Lees-McRae
week before last. But the Torna
does will be favored to wrap up
the game before a large home
coming crowd.
Lose To Lees-McRae
The Tornadoes, playing one of
their best games of the season,
found the going a little too rough
a couple of weeks ago when they
were defeated 13-7 by the Lees-
McRae Bobcats in Banner Elk.
Leading 7-6 going into the clos
ing minutes of the game, the local
boys were defeated when a long
Bobcat pass connected for a touch
down. Clifton Riggins scored the
lone tally for Brevard on a 45
yard pass.
Walter Owens, Dick Medlin, John
McKissick, and Bruce Jamerson
received injuries during the fight
and saw limited action the follow
ing week in the game with High
Point “B”.
■ High Point ■ invaded Brevard
last week and defeated a weak
but game Tornado eleven 19-7.
Playing with a substitute line and
a reserve backfield due to injur
ies, Brevard was no niatch for
the boys from High Point. The
Brevard score came when Hipps
heaved a 40 yard pass which Rig
gins gathered in on the High Point
20 and carried over the double
stripes.
Even a bootlegger gets low in
spirits at times.
