PAGE FOUR THE CLARION November 25, 1967 TORNADO WARNING! BY MIKE BUMGARDNER Taking a look ahead into the basketball season ; Next week the Tornadoes the Gaston Col lege Rebels and the Gardner - Webb Bulldogs. Whether or not the Tornadoes will have a let-down after the Montreat - Anderson series will have to De seen. Both Gaston and Gardner - Webb are very tough opponents. Gaston has some fine ball players this year. Ke- turning from last year is leading scorer James Tur pin (who was by the way a team-mate Denton at Hunter Huss H.S.) Also there is 6 2 Leon ard Hamilton, a great leaper and scorer. A freshman, Dick Armstrong, made his position known by scor ing 27 points in Gaston’s first game this year. Gardner - Webb has all the material to be a national power. First of all, there is the giant cen ter Artis Gilmore at 7’2”. In a recent scrimmage, Larry Arrick of Asheville - Biltmore said of an en counter with Gilmore . . . “he’s taller than 7’2”, and has a thousand moves.” The Bulldogs also possess the talents of high- school All - Americans Art Roberts and Ernie Flem ing. Gaston and Gardner - Webb played each other, earlier this week with G-W winning 106 - 63. Gaston has defeated Clinton College 104 - 102. Both teams are potentially very high scoring ball clubs. Brevard will have to be sharp for a very tough 2-game home- stand next week. Brevard has the material and speed to beat both teams, barring the ball-handling mistakes that have plagued the Tornadoes thru the first three games. "Green Bay” (sment) Captures Football Title BC OFF TO BIG BOUNCE ARNOLD (BIRD) NICHOLSON is pictured lay ing the ball in for the Tornadoes during action against Montreat - Anderson last Monday night. “Bird” and his teammates are 2-1 thus far this year. BC plays Montreat again this Friday night. “Basement is Best” summar izes the Men’s Intramural foot ball season w,hich concluded November 13. The basement floor of Green Hall, with its organization, depth, and “never give up” attitude captured the championship with an impres sive 20-0 victory over runners- up Beam I and II. Green Base ment started out with several bad breaks and lost the first two games. Since then, the “men of G. B.” have been un defeated. Much of the success of Green Basement lies in the team’s ver satility. QB Fred Neeson can run as well as throw the baU for the first down or the TD. The hands of Bill Hyland have been a threat to any opponent. In the championship with Beam I and II, Hyland caught a 55 yard pass from Neeson for a TD and intercepted three pass es. The big foot of Tom Jordan has been another asset to the team. In a recent game, Jor dan booted three field goals of 28, 37, and 49 yards. In the championship game, Jordan ad ded I PAT and scored on a screen pass play from Neeson. The speed of Jim Dollyhigh is certainly not to be over-look ed. Jim made many fine runs during the season I.n the championship, Jim turned in his iisual performance and scored on a 17 yard pass from Neeson.

Bill Boome and Moose Baron have been consistent all season in catch ing the man behind the line. Together, they have held the opposing offense to very meag er yardage. Jerry Page, Larry Mellot, Alan Middleton, and Larry Taylor are feared men on the field as well All four have played terrific football. Dennis McCarthy suffered a broken vsrrist and participated only in the early games. Had it not been for his misfortune, the interior line of Basement would have been stronger.

Mato St. TALLEY’S Barber Shop Githens played soccer for the Tornadoes and was enable to play for Basement until the championship game. He proved to be very vital to the defense as well as to the offense. On defense, Githens made many possible long gains turn into short ones. Bob booted a PAT in the championship game. However, the team of Beam I and II proved to be a team of strength. The team’s regular season record was 6-1, better than that of Green Basement. The dual threat of Beam all season had been QB Vic Suth erland and end Jim Harbin. Sutherland’s strong aim and Harbin’s tremendous hands made many opponents stare in amazement. The big man on the line was Max Trapp, small but aggressive. Max was always in the opponents backfield about Morris Pharmacy The Place To Go When You Stump Your Toe Main Street PATS SHOE MART 883-8560 the time the ball touched the QB’s hands.
