March 13, 19-59 the clarion SPORTS TALK BY PHIL TAPPY As eveiTj'one knows, in Spring a young ma-n’s fancy turns to base ball. This is evident by looking at the ball field any evening from ruow until the final exams. Coach “'Chick” Martin looks for a good season, even though he has only four of last year’s squad meimbers returning to the fold. A number of freshmen ball players made good showings in the September-Octo- ber pre-season workouts and are expected to fill the vacant spot around the diamond in fine fash ion. Back this year for their second season will be Bill Kezziah, Wally Ttortenit^ury, Harry Skipper, and Jim Huffmian. Though Coach Mar tin lost five of his startinig nine last year, he does have one of the best sihortstops in the league in 300 hitter Fortenibury. Also he has the team’s leading sticfcman, Jim (Pot) Huffman, who hit last year at a 354 clip. Bill Kezziah is also look ing for a good year at the plate, while Harry Skipper is expected to be the work-horse of the pitching staff along with Huffmian. They will probaibly alternate at firstbase vihile the other is on the mound. There is still a starting berth open for a pitcher, and fighting for the twirM'nig job will be freshmen Craig Ford, Tommy Dickens, Eric Green, and Billy Moofre. Among other new squad pros pects are intfielders Mike Shelley, Robert Wood, Ken Bolick, and 'Max Walser; outfielders, Don Sum- mey, Tommy Hadwin, Carol Mat-; thews, Johnny Mack Brown, Laimar * White, and Tommy Buckner, to name a few. The Tornadoes, who came on strong at the close of the season last year, will play fifteen confer ence games wi'th their opener against Asheville - Biltmiore at Asheville. Coach Martin expects to schedule seven non-conference games, possibly with Ecusta, Wes tern Carolina, or some other neigh boring teams. The power house of the conference this year figures to be North Greenville, which will have a nfumiber of returning play ers plus several former Amerioan Legion players acquired this year. Gardner - Webb, last year’s cham pions also figure to be strong, with the league’s leading ihitter and pitcher returning. Neither can Win gate be counted out, for, with their Hberal scholarship program, they manage to pick up boys who The Tables Turned” — Or “Tag Day PAGE THREE Parson's Jewelry And Gifts ■—and— WATCH REPAIR BY MAXINE GEORGE History claims nuany aceomplish- ments and incidents that have been recorded thraughout the centuries History was made on the Brevard Campus recently when the Chris tian Fellows'hip club sponsored a “Tag Day and Tag Day Dance.” The old - fashioned idea of boy- askdnig-girl.for-date had become too much taken for granted, so thought the officers of Christian Fellow ship. Putting their heads together, they came up with a brilliant and uniusual idea which turned the en tire procedure of boyngirl dating topsy4urvy. Instead of allowinig the men of Brevard College to “sweat” the usual technique of obtaining a date, the procedure was reversed, which permitted the women of Brevard College to do the “perspir ing” for a change. Saiburday, March 7, was officially claimed “Tag Day,” giving the girls the opportunity of tagging a male of their choice from the selection at Brevard Col lege. Christian Fellowship, having passed this act for the “ibetterment of all concerned,” then left it up to the girls to use this privileige to the best of their ability. Thursday night saw the big change in procedure taking place ill Annabel Jones’ Hall parlor, where the girls flocked to purchase a “tag” for a mere one cent, which incidentally is to go to the aid of Easter Seals. The “tagging” took place on Friday when the girls, having gathered all the “nerve” possible, approiached the boy of their choice and pinned the lucky feUa with a tag. Saiturday was when the fun began! Throughout the day, the boys were at the mercy of the girls who had tagged them, carrying books to and from class for the gentle womenfolk, running errands, and num'srous other little jubs. Between 7:15-7:45, the girls were seen trotting into the “par lors” of green and Taylor Halls to call for their dates — quite an historical mioment for all involved. Many of the girls were “kept wait ing” for a period of five or ten mjinuites while the boys were sup- Ijosedly making certain of those might have chosen other schools. It shapes up to be a knock-out race this year, with five or six pos sible teams in the thick of things.

The girls had to act gentleman-like, helping their aates with their coaits, opening doors for them, etc., etc., etc. It was quite a change to watch the boys “sign out” in theiir respective ojorms before leaving on their date. The climax of the'eventful day came on Saturday night, when the occasion ended with a record dance in the C.C.B. auditorium. Thei dance was well - planned, and credit should be given to Kay Pink for the excellent job done in the advertising, to the president and vice - president of Ohristian Fellowship, Steve Brown and Bruce McQuillin, and the many others who contributed their time and effort in making “Tag Day” a success and a memorable event. Sincerest appreciation is also ex pressed to Dr. and Mrs. H. W. Sig- man who chaperoned so excellent ly for the occasion. Names and comments are impor tant in the recording of history, so allow me to pass on the names of same of the couples I saw at the dcjnce, as well as a few conversa tions and cammenits which this “roving reporter” chanced to over hear. As I was strolling up to Tay lor Hall with “Fox” Edminston, Linda Moore, and Carol Walser to pick up our dates (their names are hereby respectfully submitted: Allen Atkins, Phil “Ti;ppy-Toe” Tappy, Wes Mitchell, and Carl Mat thews), we just happened to eye Max Walser in Green Hall, spying cut a window, yelling, “Fellas, I think I’m gonna be stood up. She’s not here yet.” (Where were you, Betty Neale?) Upon entering Tay lor Hall, we were greeted with soothing and relaxing m)usic, courtesy of WPNF radio (the best I can remember, Kitty Wells was humming “Go Home, Yankee” fol lowed by her ever - popular “Pret ty Fraulein)). In addition to that, we were welcomed 'by a certain faculty miember, who was serving as Taylor Hall’s “house-mother” for this auspdciofus occasion. He was a most couirteous and polite host, but quite firm in his exclam ation: “Get these boyis back in here at a decent hour.” The dance began at precisely 7:45, and for three solid hours, music floated throughout the C. C. B. auiditorium for everyone’s dancing enjoyment. Harry Skipper acted as Dist-jockey, and was contented except for one Honorary Basketball Team Chosen By WIC The Women’s Athletic associa tion met Friday, March 6, and elect ed an honorary bas-ketball team consisting of the following: guards —Nancy Burnett, Lois Hamilton, Marty Clark, and Tommye Brad ley; forwards — Billy Jean Mc- Gaha, Minerva Morgan, Trish Young, and Shirley Moses.
