The basketball season is well un
der way and it seems that Brevard
college has a team it can be proud
of. They have lost only one game
out of seven. Of these seven games,
Mars Hill was the only conference
game. I’ll admit that I had my
doubts as to how the team would
stand up against the conference
teams, but after Saturday night,
I’m backing our team all the way.
Our team seems to be a last half
ball club. That is they play their
best ball in the last half. In prac
tically every game, they have had
to come from behind in the last
half to win. If and when they start
playing ball in the first half like
they do the second, they will be
hard to stop.
The first junior college team
that Brevard played this year was
Young Harris. It was quite a game
with Young Harris Pouring in
points from the start to the finish.
They outpassed, out rebounded and
in general, outplayed the Torna
does all over the court. This seem
ed to do our team good, at lesst
you would have thought that it was
a different team playing Mars Hill.
Brevard Tops Mars
Hill In 81-80 Score
Last Saturday night the Brevard
college Tornadoes pulled a ;game
out of the fire with a finish that
would have made Frank Merriwell
turn green with envy. After being
behind eleven points at the half
and 17 points at one stage of the
third Quarter, the blue and white
eame back with a roar that sent
campus morale up approximately
200 per cent and won 81-80.
Brevard’s high scorer was ..•kn
Stamey, with 24 points. Malcolm
followed closely with 19, Hoyle had
10, EUer made 10, and Walton
scored 9. The exceptionally good
rebounding, plus the smooth ball
handling and the general sharpness
«f the Tornadoes told the tale. Not
once, prior to this game, had the
Tornadoes looked so sharp.
In the first few moments of play,
Mars Hill had built up a 6-1 lead,
and for the remainder of the first
quarter, it looked as if the home

team was going to be lucky to
halve the score. However, the sec
ond quarter showed a fairly even
contest with the score standing at
44-33 when the horn for the half
sounded.
In the third quarter, the Lions
rolled up a 17 point lead, and the
cause began to look hopeless. At
this point, and all evidence points
to the truth of this theory. Coach
Fitzpatrick began passing out some
vocal adrenalin during the time-out
periods. Anyway, the Tornadoes be
gan to shave points off their def
icit luitil there was no deficit, and
the score stood 81-78 with only a
few seconds left in the game.
A foul was called on a Brevard
man, and Mars Hill closed to 79-81.
Another foul was called on Brevard
with only 3 seconds left to play,
and the first shot was made good
by a lAon. The second shot was

Players Chosen For
Varsity Volley Ball
The volley ball varsity has been
chosen by Miss Louise Moseley, di
rector of physical education, Nancy
Carson, president of the W. A. A.,
and the W. A. A. board. The var

The varsity will also play in the
volley ball play day which will be
taken. This time the shot was good,
but interference was called on the
Lions this time, so it was Brevard’s
ball with only enough time left to
pass the ball in. However, the offi
cial scorer had not seen the offi
cial’s signal, and had set the score
at 81-81. The official explained the
situation, and the score was correct

floor, and the fans went berserk.
It was Brevard’s first conference
win in two years.
