TORNADO WARNING!
By Ronnie D. Smith
SPORTS EDITOR
The Clarion Staff wishes to extend hearty con
gratulations to Coach Martin, on his being named
“Conference Coach of the Year.” His many achieve
ments while at Brevard speak for themselves, but
the inspiration that he has been for countless athletes
over the years can never be measured. His won-loss
record is outstanding, but of greater significance in
his dedication to his team members and Brevard Col-
leg^e. Coach Martin doesn’t just coach a giame; he
makes playing it a meaningful experience. He in
stills in his boys a will to win and a desire to give
100 per cent. In short, he builds men. Coach Mar
tin is a deserving man for the honor of Coach of the
Conference for 1968 - 69.

With the close of basketball season. Spring is
near at hand, and with Spring “a young man’s fancy
turns to thoughts of” what the girls think about all
the time, with occasional thoughts of baseball.
Speaking of basketball which I wasn’t, one of
our conference foes stars was so dumb that when
he received his varsity letter, his coach had to read
it to him.
Since Friday nig-ht’s somewhat debated call by
the referees that gave Spartanburg a last second vic
tory, somebody might really be interested to know
the definition of referee. Herman L. Maslin’s Treas"
ury of Sports Humor defines a referee as a blind
idiot with an intense hatred” or “a lunatic who
breathes into whistles.” He also defines splitting the
post as “Abe Lincoln’s boyhood chores” and, there
fore, one mig-ht wonder about the validity of his defi
nitions.
*****
Although “Old Man Winter still has a hold on
Brevard, the Spring sports are getting underway.
Track practice has been going on for several weeks;
the baseball and tennis teams are beginning work
outs, and the golf team is expected to get into ac
tion soon.
Headen, Kagel
Given Honors
Greg Headen and Joe Kagel,
freshman standouts for the
1968 - 69 Brevard College bas
ketball squad, were among six
players honored with awards
at the conclusion of the West
ern Carolinas Junior College
Conference Tournament held
February 27th - March 1st at
Forest City.
Headen was named to the
All - Tournament team for his
outstanding play in the three-
day affair. One of two fresh'
men named to the conference
all ■ star team, the center
from Liberty scored 68 points
in the tournament. Headen
closed out the season with 612
points and a 21.2 average.
Kagel was awarded the covt-
ed Sportsmanship Trophy, sym
bolic of the one player who
ibest exemplifies the spirit of
good sportsmanship during the
tournament. A 6-4 freshman
from South Bend, Indiana, he
burned the nets W a 15.2 av
erage during the season.
Both Kagel and Headen will
return to next year’s squad,

little intellect I do have did
not come from the classes. It
came from small groups of
students or being with some
of the family in small discus
sion groups. Why doesn’t Mr.
Rankin sit in on some of the
Mr. Setzer’s Lunch - Ins. I am
sure that he will find some
tyi>es of discussion going on.
An intellectual discussion does
not have to be one of dead
seriousness on some world
shaking problem, but it can al
so be on some thing that tick
les the groups’ fancy.
Mrs. Tauscher could not
have been more true than
when she said, “Brevard is by
no means a little heaven on
earth, guided by divine Wis
dom.” Who causes Christianity
to become perverted? What is
perverted about B.C.’s Christian
values? Can he answer that?
Responsibility seems to be
the key factor in this situa
tion. Have the students accept
ed the responsibility of being
students? If they have not ac
cepted it, then they do not de
serve to have it. When they
grow up, really grow up, and
quit trying to Act like they
are grown up then they will get
some place. Until then they will
have to make the best of it.
One gets out exactly what he
puts in.

Grey Bowen and Bob Gray
placed fourth in their events
in the open division of the
Southeastern Conference In
door Championships, held in
Montgomery, Alalbama, last
Friday and Satairday nights. '
Grey Bowen qualified in the
60 yard dash on Friday night |
for the finals on Saturday
night. Greg placed forth in |
the finals with a clocking of
:06.4 in his sprinting event.
Bab Gray doubled in the mile
and two-mile runs. On Friday
night he ran the two mile finals
and clocked a 9:15 which
placed him fourth in his event.
Bob failed to place in the mile,
but ran a 4:21.
Brevard Tornado Basket
ball squad was eliminated
from championship competi
tion at Forest City last Fri
day night, as Spartanburg
Junior College won a highly-
disputed 56-55 victory in the
semi-final game of the West
ern Carolinas Junior CoUege
Conference Tournament.
Leading 55 - 54 with two sec
onds left on the clock, Brevard
lost the ball to the Pioneers on
a freak play. Freshman forward
Charlie Hunt had the ball out
of bounds and attempted j
length-of-theTCOurt pass to team
mate Joe Kagel. The ball hit
a light fixture, however, and
was awarded to Spartanburg at
mid court.
The Pioneers put the ball
in play and shot three times
in the remaining two sec
onds, the fliird attempt be
ing ruled good at the buzzer
by the referees and official
timer. Brevard coaches Chick
Martin and Larry Burch vig
orously protested the de
cision, but to no avail.
The loss placed Brevard win
ners by a 71 - 65 count over
Wingate Thursday night, in
Saturday’s consolation finals
against Lees - MoRae. The dis
heartened Tornadoes again
fell by one point, 60h5®.
Brevard closed out thp
season ^h a 17 - 12 overS
record. The cry of “Wait till
next year” was heard, as the
Tornadoes will have the most
experienced club in the Ip/
gue for the 1969-70 seasnt.
Added to the vigorous re-
cruiting efforts being made
by coaches Martin and Burch
Brevard basketbaU fang’
should enjoy a banner
next season.
