Quarterback Club'
Has Glad Awakening
. By RALPH TUGMAN
(Democrat Staff Writer)
Once upon a time in a tiny vil
lage high in the Blue Ridge
Mountaina there lived a amall
band of fearless men who were
known far and wide as the "Quar
terback Club". They went about
the campus doing good and telling
tall tafet. ThefWought gold and
precious gifts to needy football
players; and provided many
laugha, much fellowship and some
annoyance for head football coach
es. Some said they were the god
fathers of the ASTC football team.
There were some who said other
things about them.
In a land far below the moun
tains there lived another clan.
Among other things, this clan was
>said to be the god-father of the
Lenoir Rhyne football team. The
two teams became arch rivals, and
each autumn, when the harvest
moon hung high in the heavens,
the teams would meet to joust on
the gridiron.
Hany a time ASTC sent them
back the mountain with bowed and
bloody heads, and there was much
joy on the campus and in the
Quarterback Club.
Bye and bye throughout the
land, great evil fell upon football,
this being in the days before the
TV quia shows. Rumors sprang up
about money and where it came
from and where it went Some said
that . much money came from un
aavory hands. There were charges
and counter-charges.
Colleges everywhere began to
de-emphasize football, and con
ference rules sprang up thaf chok
ed off the helping hand for many
a deserving football player. The
Quarterback Club waned into near
nothingness.
Jousting under the harvest moon
went on between the two teaipa.
Aulun?a alter Mtumn they met,
and always the arch enemy from
below the mountains carried away
the trophy. A great sadness fell
upon the Quarterback Club, and
upon the ASTC campus. Rumors
Mid the enemy bad at least SO full
scholarships to award needy play
ers each year.
One day some wise men met and
formed a new and worthwhile
thing called the Appalachian Ed id
eational Foundation. The purpose
of this Foundation was to make
funds available at very low inter
est rates to deserving students at
the college.
When the Quarterback Club
heard of this, they felt remorse
that they had so easily been di
verted from their purpose of help
ing deserving athletes at the col
lege.
Word went out that the clan
would meet. Last Friday night
gathered, and the welkin rang with
the voices of their leaders. It was
a time for great preparation and
great joy among the Quarterbacks.
It was a time for sack cloth and
fasting in the camp of the enemy.
Together they will surely go for
ward now, and the college shall
grow and games shall be won.'
Once more before the camp fires
of the Quarterback Club will hang
the Bear Skin emblem of vjctory
over its Piedmont enemy, and
they will live happily ever after!
CONFUSED
Portland, Maine ? When Gov.
Clinton A. Clauson arrived to de
liver the principal address at na
val ceremonies recently, he found
the crowd already leaving. Quick
ly, he discovered the reason for
the mix-up. "The invitation said
the program would begin at 1400
hours," he said "I thought that
was 4 o'clock."
