B. C. Tornadoes T^^ist Through Basketball Tournament
The Brevard College Torna
does opened heir 1973-74 bas
ketball season November 14
under new heaj Coach John
Meyerhoff. The Tornadoes trav
eled to Greenville, South Car
olina to take on North Green
ville Junior College in the
first round of the Seratoma Jr.
College Tip-off tournament.
Anderson Jr. College and Spar
tanburg Jr. College played in
the second game.
The opening game was a very
close and exciting see-saw bat
tle between two very skilled
teams. North Greenville, 6th
in last year’s NJCAA champ
ionships, out rebounded the
taller Tornadoes in the first
half and used this advantage to
hold a 30-28 lead at intermis
sion.
Play remained much the
same in the early minutes of
the second half but sub
stitute forward Tony Creek-
more combined efforts to turn
the game in Brevard’s favor.
Tony Creekmore made many
big steals to turn the ball over
to the offense. Bryan Jones
scored to make the score 52-54
with just under five minutes
left. Then Creekmore tied the
score at 54. Jones scored again
in the game to put Brevard in
the lead for the first time in
the second half at 58 - 56. Bre
vard fell behind one more time,
60-58, but both Skip Miller and
Bryan Jones scored to put their
team in the lead 62-60. Creek
more added two foul shots to
make the final score 64-61.
The win over North Green
ville advanced Brevard to the
final game, facing Anderson
Jr. College, November 15. An
derson defeated Spartanburg
Jr. College 78-77 in another
thriller.
Brevard was unable to gene
rate an offensive attack against
their opponents and fell behind
early in the game. Anderson

Legislature Takes Stand
The Student Union Legisla
ture took a stand Tuesday to
keep student rights and prin
ciples intact. The following
proposal was passed unaman-
omusly Tuesday night at the
regular SUL meeting followed
a long discussion filled with
numerous cases for justfica-
tion of the move that was made.
Poposal; That in view of the
breach of confidence made by
certain members of the Self-
Study Program with regard to
the confidentiality of answers
on the faculty questionnaire ad
ministered by he SUL, the
members of the SUL will ad
minister no further question
naires under the Self Study
Program.
Furthermore, the SUL en
courages the members of the
Student Union to refuse to
fill out any more Self Study
questionnaires.
This proposal will remain in
effect until a satisfactory rea
son of the breach of trust has
been made by those responsi
ble.
An explanation is needed to
explain this and what conse
quences were confronted Wed
nesday morning. The situation
envolves a case of misunder
standing between a few people.
Seemingly many students have
missed the point. We are con
cerned with enlightening the
people involved that the ques
tionnaire was handled improp
erly according to the original
instructions causing harm to
the student. We are not
saying that the teachers
will use this form for the
wrong purpose but the possi
bility is there for this to hap
pen. It needs to be under
stood that something needs to
be done to call the hand of
those responsible.
We the students feel a grave
mistake and a breach of confi
dence has been committed. But
the important factor is this
problem is the learning experi
ence that has been provided.
We the Student Government
feel that although the damage
has been done relations can be
salvaged from this experience
if the students respond in a
mature attitude allowing the
Brevard CoUege Community to
function up to its potential.
As Students we have rights
and a power that if we allow
our toes to get stepped on now
we are only asking for more.
We want this to be cleared up
so that other questionnaries
will be unbiased so the overall
impact of the SACS can once
again gain respect
Much attention has been paid
this year to the men’s soccer,
cross - country and basketball
teams. All of this has been
rightly deserved, for all of
these teams are of champion
ship caliber; however, there is
another team at Brevard Col
lege who deserves equal atten
tion. This is the women’s bas
ketball team.
This team includes some fine
players such as, HoUy Choate,
from Sparta, North Carolina.
Miss Choate is one of the
team’s better ballhandlers and
shooters. An aggressor under
the board, Janie Hare from Long
Creek, South Carolina, will
fake out her opponents with
her unbeatable hook-shots. Lint
Sharpe from Pinetops, North
Carolina will bear watching
from her opponents as she has
a fast and unique way of hand
ling the ball. Alice Vernon from
Piedmont, South Carolina,
brought with her a deadly cor
ner shot. A former All West
ern North Carolina player,
Cathey Daniels, from Brevard,
North Carolina will show her
experience on the court. Also
a demon under the board is
Sharon Boring from Turtle
Creek, North Carolina who will
probably see much action this
year. Two products from Doug
las, Georgia and Carol Sears
and Elaine Lewis. Both played
for Douglas last year and are
an unbeatable duo. Johanna
(Go-Go) Dewees in an experi
enced player from Sylva, North
Carolina. Beth Graves will help
put the opponents in their
places with her fine passing
and shooting ability. Last, but
not least, is Lynn Garren from
Hendersonville, North Carolina,
who is a Jack-of-all-trades and
can play any position adequate
ly.
The women’s team coached by
Miss Gail Anderson and trained
by Miss Jan Scarborough from
Charlotte, North Carolina start
ed the season last Friday night
against a talented Furman team
and fought gamely before suc
cumbing by a close 41-36 score.
Brevard was led in scoring by
Daniels and Lewis both with
11 point and Sears with 14
points.
Last Saturday the women
had their home opener against
Warren Wilson. Brevard’s pass
ing, shooting, and defense was
superb as they outclassed the
Flying Owls by a 60-19 score.
Eleven of Brevard players scor
ed in the game, led by Daniels
13, Hare’s 11, Boring 8, and
Lewis’s 8.
