TORNADO WARNING!
ROADRUNNERS WIN!

Cagers Begin Season
Brevard College Tornadoes open their 26-game
schedule with the hosting of Gainesville Junior Col
lege. The Tornadoes suffered only their second los
ing season last year in 11 years under Coach Chick
Martin. With a 12-14 mark, they finished 3rd in
the Conference Tournament at Forest City.
This year, 5 lettermen return along vi^ith a crop
of talented freshmen. The prospects are not tall,
and speed and good defense will be relied upon
heavily.
There are a multitude of guards this year. The
speed afforded should help greatly in pressing sit
uations. The lone sophomore guard returning is
6’2” Danny Denton. Denton is a fine outside shoot
er and will be probably one of the starters. Another
fine candidate is Gary Cross at 5’11.” An All - Con
ference player from Nantahala, he is a good ball
handler and driver.
Mike Zeugner is a fast guard and a good jump
er at 5’10.” His shooting and defense should help
him push for a starting position. Robert “Bones”
Clayton, 6’0” and a product of Brevard, should see
plenty action along with Jim Groves, 5’10,” also of
Brevard, Groves was all-conference last year for
Brevard High . Corey Shea, 5’10,” is a strong driv
ing ball player who may see some action. Joe “Newt”
Vaughn at 5’10” needs some experience but shows
great desire and hustle which is an overall feature
of this yearns team.
Most of the experience is in the backline. Three
starters return. Arnold Nicholson, 6’3,” from Bre
vard, is a good jumper and shooter and has improv
ed greatly. Another returning starter is 6’2” Calvin
Saunders. His rebounding and scoring are a big
part of Brevard’s hopes. Paul Hendrix at 6’7” is
the biggest man and probable center starter. His
“getting up strong” will determine how Brevard
fairs this season. Sophomore Mike Bumgardner,
6’4,” should see a lot of reserve action at forward.
He neeup improve his defense somewhat. An out
standing freshman iS §’2” Ronnie Vance^ His speed
and shooting^ eye could h#lp film pus’n rGr ^ fi^t
string positiott. Another freshman is 6’4” Dale
J^aulk. Faulk is a good rebounder and needs only
experience. Bill Pajrton is a strong 6’8” at center.
His aggressiveness will be needed this year.
The Tornadoes will use a continuity type of
fense and tight man for man defense against a
tough conference this year.

Team Takes
Conf Crown
BOB GRAY (frontrunner) and Dave Fussell
beat a path to the front door of the conference
championship during the conference meet last Fri
day. The Roadrunners will compete in the Nation
als this Saturday. Incidentally, Gray and Fussell
finished 1-2, respectively.
Soccermen Thrash Clemson
i Thei, high flying Tornadoes
handed Clemson their first de
feat in soccer, 3-2, at Clemson.
The first quarter was scoreless,
and Clemson remedied that sit
uation with a score in the sec
ond period on a penalty shot.
Bob Johns had left the goal
area to picH up the ball. It
Vt'osn’t in the t>enalty area,
thereby preventing him from
picking it up. He kicked it and
connected with the leg of an
opponent. He was called for
playing the man instead of the
ball, and the kick was awarded.

The 1-0 score stood until the
fourth period when evers^thing
broke loose. Randy Ward put
in a loose ball to tie the score
at 1-1.
Another penalty cost Brevard
a goal as Beaver Hall was call
ed for pushing. Clemson scor
ed on the direct free kick to
make it 2-1.
Bernie Badiali booted home
a fumble by Clemson’s goalie
to make it 2-2 with six minutes
left in the game.
Then with 56 seconds left, in
the most exciting play of the
game, Brevard used their
“blitz” play and rushed the
goalie. The goalie once again
made a costly fumble and Sam
Robinson scored.

Brevard Roadrunners captur
ed the Western Carolina Junior
College Conference last Friday
overwhelming the other schools.
There was an exceptionally
large turnout as the boys tra-
versed on a wet course. Bob
Gray and Dave Fussell finish
ed in their usual manner with
first and second place respect
ively. Ned Jones, Bob Julian
and Mike Scurto followed right
behind them. Coach Talley felt
Gray would have again broken
the course record if it wasn’t
for the condition of the course
and that the first mile was
run too fast. The team as a
whole ran much closer together
in this meet than in the pre
vious ones. This proved that
the usual slower times have
quickened considerably.
Coach Talley has made the
workouts much tougher lately
and the results can be seen in
the record book. With the tough
er workouts and the times low
ering with each meet, the boys
stand a good chance of coming
home from N. Y. with the laur
els. The only problem is a Jun
ior College from Arizona who
tracks two very good runners.
These boys’ times are five sec
onds lower than Gray’s time.
And their fifth man’s best
time is twenty seconds lower
than Brevard’s fifth man, Scur
to. So with the extra efforts in
practice and very good luck the
results should be favorable.
18 saves in the game. It was
noted that a number of former
Brevard alumni were there
cheering the Tornadoes.
