Brevard Finishes Third
The Brevard College Torna-,
does, playing tremendous all
round basketball, completely
over . powered the Lees Mc
Rae Bobcats, 92-76, in the con
solation game of the W.C.J.C.C.
TONENAMENT at Forest City,
N. C.
The victory entitles Brevard
to a third place finish in the
loumament and enabled Coach
.■ iartin’s boys to add another tro
phy to Brevard’s already over
filled trophy case.
The fabulous Tornadoes
jumped off to an early lead and
were never in serious trouble
throughout the game. Brevard
started out in a tough man-to-
man defense while Lees Mc
Rae tried to hold the Torna
does in check with a rotating
one - three - one zone de
fense. John Trotter, 6’2” guard,
poured in 10 points to give Bre
vard a 18-9 lead with 11:17 left
to play in the first half. Bre
vard’s pressing man-to-man de
fense forced the Bobcats into
error after error and never
allowed them a good shot at
the basket. With Arnold Nich
olson and Ronnie Sherrill con
necting on baskets, the Torna
does built up a comfortable,
28-16 lead, with 6:09 remaining
in the first half. The aggres
sive Tornadoes were still not
satisfied with their lead and
by half - time they enlarged
it to 17 points, leading 41-24.
The second half was an exact
replica of the first half as
the power Tornadoes continued
to dominate the ballgame. With
Ronnie, John, and Arnold pac
ing the Tornadoes scoring ma
chine, Brevard built its insur
mountable lead to 57-40 with
12-28 remaining in the ball-
game.
With 3:11 left in the game,
the Bobcats were forced to foul
to try to get possession of the
basketball. Paul Hendrix, a
6’6” freshman center, connect
ed on 8 out of 9 free throws to
help put down Lees McRae’s
final rally. Bob Williams hit
four more free throws to give
Brevard 12 straight points on
free throws with out
scoring a field goal. Mike Bum-
gardner and Gary Simpson
scored Brevard’s final points.
Again it was Co-Captains
Ronnie Sherrill and John Trot
ter who led Brevard to victory,
scoring 20 points each and
sharing game honors. Fresh
man Arnold Nicholson was close
behind with 19 points. Bob Wil
liams and Paul Hendrix also
scored in double figures with
11 and 10 points respectively.
Gary Simpson netted 7 while
Calvin Saunders had 3 and
Mike Bumgardner 2. Danny
Denton, Brevard Freshman
sensation, was unable to play
due to a knee injury suffered
in the North Greenville game.
The 1966 - 67 basketball
team and Coach Martin certain
ly deserve the congratulations
of the students of Brevard for
their never yielding attitude
and sincere determination
through out the year in estab
lishing Brevard as a basket
ball power.

Opinions Expressed On Religious Emphasis Week
Down With
Swingers
“He’s the best speaker we’ve
had in the two years I’ve been
here.” This overheard comment
aptly describes Mr. Jack Belt,
the Chapel speaker, on Feb. 23.
Mr. Belt, a native of West Vir
ginia, is currently a news an
nouncer for WLOS-TV in Ashe
ville, N. C, He makes many
speaking appearances at various
clubs, schools, and conferences.
Mr. Belt’s dynamic personal
ity, easy naturalness, and wit
ty humor captivated the aud
ience not only throughout his
jokes, but during his excellent
talk as well. He made a very
effective contrast between an
“abominable no-man,” narrowly
interested in only the status
and the “go-man,” an eag-
open - minded participant
in life. Mr. Belt urged the stud
ents to be squares such as Paul
Revere and Nathan Hale were
latJier than be swingers who
jsk, “Am I the only one with a
horse?”
He mentioned a simple yet
profound philosophy of life to
follow. It consists of six planks
pearn, work serve, debate,
"'e> and the most basic and im-
P^irtant, worship. He said that
have every opportunity here
^ to learn and mature and
we should employ these
PPortunities to develop and
our talents. He mentioned

BC students expressed defi
nite opinions as to what they
thought of Religious Emphasis
Week.
Cindy Marr said she thought
that a man who could teach
along with preaching was th§
answer to the problems and
questions of this week.
The opportunity to listen to
someone experienced with col
lege students and their prob
lems, minor and major, is a
good way to strengthen the re
ligion of the student, says Les
ley Johnson.
“The concentration of the
more important things in life
for a short while is important
on a college campus,” remarked
a faculty member.
Marsha Chandler likes the
idea of the services being vol
untary, so that only the in
terested may go. That way they
won’t be distracted by others.
“More music would be nice,”
said Anne Barbre.
“These services should and
can be an inspiration if you’re
really interested,” announced
Shirley Edwins.
