Team Looks Good With first high school football i game scheduled to be played here on j September '2~ with Bryson City, the Brevard ouad is buckling down to r;ol hard work and has the carmaiks cf the best team Coach Til-on has turned out in several years. Twice the local team has met the , Bryson City aggregation and twice: have the Tiison men come away vie-1 tors. However the Mountain City, coach has rung in several new faces : in his lineup and promises to give the Brevard gridders a run for their I money when they come here to play j Friday-week at 3:30. Monday afternoon's showing of] the high . quad was extra good in distance and placing kicks will j Morris, Misenheiiner and Pickelsimcr 1 likely looking material for using the! boot. For the first scrimmage Nelson' was at center. McJunktns and Ash worth at guard. MeMinn and Feas ter al tackle, Osborne and Morgan at end, Siniai'd and Misenheiiner at halfback, Hendrix, fullback, and Morris at quarter. i These men were given their places . only for scrimmage, and Coach Til-! son emphatically stated alter the, workout that no places on the team i had been sewed up as yet, with over j twenty boys howing '.ip as starters in the first came. Osborne, Morgan, Fcaster, Tinsley and A. Shuford are new men that are showing up exceptionally well in the first week’s work, and will very piobably see action in the first tilt. Edward ami Charles Loftis, Gray, j Teague and Duckworth are also in the running for berths on the first eleven, with Price making a strong bid for end or back. Altogether, the team will be faster ami heavier than last year’s squad, and places on the team will be given out more on a basis of merit than in an effort to plug a hole, as was the rule to a great extent in the 1934 season. Several other faces are expected to show up at practice this week, and the possibility of two very good teams is in the offing, making for plenty of substitute material.
