P © RT l» A U E Edited By John i. Anderson Rambling With The Sports Editor A LOOK AT THE RECORD . . . With the 1950 cage season end ing, a peep at the score sheets reveals that the Tornadoes down at Brevard college haven’t done so badly. In conference play they won seven games and lost six, which is a record on a par with most of the other junior colleges in North and South Carolina. What we like is the fact that the team improved all along. In December, Mitchell college nosed out Brevard by 10 points. In January the Tornadoes bounced back and trounced Mitchell by 30 points. Our neighbor, Asheville-Biltmore, licked Brevard by a 35-point margin in early January, but the Tornadoes roared back and won over Ashe ville 52-42 in February. While Brevard lost four in a row in Janu ary, the local lads hit the winning column and took six out of the next seven games played. Brevard and five other North Carolina junior college teams have approximately a .500 record for the season and any one team can move from the sixth place to second in the standing by winning one game. • • • • A DEEPER LOOK . . . While pondering over the basketball score sheets, it dawned on us that we hadn’t taken a gander at the last foot ball season’s record. Our research showed that Brevard, a team com prised of regular students and not a bunch of scholarship boys, had a record last season better than Mars Hill, Presbyterian junior college and Campbell college and equal to Gardner-Webb and Asheville-Bilt more. We also asked Coach Andrews about his record while here at Brevard and he informed us that Brevard had won four games from Mars Hill, while the Lions captured only one. The Tornadoes split four games with Gardner-Webb and lost two to Lees-McRae, while win ning one and tieing one. In baseball Brevard had its best season in 1948 by winning eight of 10 games, placing second in the conference with Oak Ridge, the perennial winner, coming out on top. • * * • ANOTHER BRIGHT SIDE . . . Readers of The Times sports col umn will recall that last fall we discussed the unfortunate situation concerning the playing of ineligible players by Asheville-Biltmore. A game between the school and Gardner-Webb was cancelled because of this condition at the last minute, and Asheville started crying “uncle”'and blaming the school authorities of Gardner-Webb. Last week the conference officials ruled, as we predicted in our column last fall, that Gardner-Webb was not liable for their action. *279” Low Down Payment Eaay Terms It’* completely auto* matic!

It was a conference affray and the victory for the locals was two in a row over the highly favored Sptrtanburg quintet. Forwards Charles Brewer and Jack McCauley and Center Bernie Welch accounted for most of the winner’s scoring, totaling 47 points between them. Brevard led through most of the first half until Spartanburg tied the score at 31-31 at half time. Then the South Carolinians took the lead and held it until Brevard roared from behind with four minutes to go. The Tornadoes froze the ball through most of the final two minutes. _ The lineups: Sptbg. (61) Pos.

Bobcats T rounce Tornadoes, 61-36 A high-flying Lees-McRae col lege quintet unleashed a powerful attack last Saturday night to run roughshod over the Brevard col lege aggregation, 61 to 36, in a Carolinas Junior College confer ence clash. The Bobcats bounced back into the win column after losing to Asheville-Biltmore Friday. Brevard just couldn’t hit. Coach Bob Andrews charges boasting wins over Spartanburg and Ashe ville-Biltmore with the exception of a third period rally never had a chance. The Bobcats took an early lead and raced to a 39-17 score at the intermission. Charlie Brewer, Brevard’s sparkling forward, an nexed high scoring honors for the losers with 10 points.

Brevard College Tornadoes To Enter Conference Tournament End Regular Season With 59-46 Victory Over North Greenville Team Brevard college Tornadoes, aft er a convincing triumph over North Greenville Monday night, I are preparing for the Carolina’s Western District Tournament at Kings Mountain on Thursday. The team ended its season play with a record of seven wins and six losses. Offensively the Tornadoes have consistently improved their of fense from a 40-point-per-game team to a 60-point-per-game team. The real question mark as to tour nament play is how well the Tor nadoes will operate as a defen sive unit. At present they have been using a man-to-man front court defense, and hope to include in their play a two-three zone de fense and a man-to-man defense over the entire floor. “We have seen considerable im provement in several of our fresh man players,” Coach Bob Andrews said today. “Bernie Welch at center, Bill Beasley and Harold Watson as guards, and Burnon Smith as a forward, are among the ones who have been partly re sponsible for the rapid progress of the team during the last month.” In the final game Brevard col lege defeated North Greenville by a score of 59 to 46. The issue was never in doubt. Brevard was out front at the half-time leading by a 33-29 count. Jack McCauley and Charlie Brewer paced the Tornadoes’ win with 15 points each, while for the losers it was Moody with 18 mark ers who took high scoring honors. A department store floorwalk er, thoroughly fed-up with his job, quit and joined the police force. When asked why, he explained, ‘‘The pay and the hours may not be so good, but at least, the cus tomer is always wrong.” Wildlife Club Members Plan To Stock Streams In County With More Than 30,000 Trout I Other Projects Discussed At Regular Meeting Last Thursday Plans are being made by the Transylvania Wildlife club to rear 30,000 to 40,000 rainbow, brown and brook trout for stocking the streams in the county which are outside the National Forest area, it was announced at the monthly meeting of the local club here on Thursday night. “Fingerlings” of one to one and a half inches will be secured from state and federal hatcheries and reared in specially built- boxes and pools which the club used last year. When four to six inches in length the fish will be released in open streams of the county. Last year’s project was one of the first of its type to be carried on large scale in the state and has since been patterned after by oth er county wildlife clubs interested m restocking of streams. Another project reported on at the meeting last week was the planting by members and farmers of small game of feed plants that are being secured through the state department. Consisting pri marily of bicolor sericea and mul tiflora rose, the plants are said to . be a fine soil builder as well as u food producer for quail and small game. Three officers of the Canton Wildlife club were present and told of the work that has been done and is continuing in Hay wood county with the sericea and rose plantings, and stated that a material increase in quail popula tion had been noted after one year’s planting of the feed plants. The Canton club also reported that coons are being brought into the area west of Wagon Road Gap as a part of the stocking program. Thirty-seven coons have recently been released there. Discussion of tendency here for fishermen to start ahead of the season brought out the fact that “reports” in the county indicate that members of the wildlife club have been guilty of pre-season vio lations. Two members of the club I put up $60 to be paid $10 to each person reporting and backing up with evidence in court the viola tion of season fishing by any per son who is a member of the wild life club. Charlie Coffin, wiio recently moved to the Pisgah Forest game preserve, was present and entered into discussion of deer population in Pisgah. Some of the members expressed opinion that the forest should be closed to hunting for one year; others, that the forest should be permanently closed and only trapping be used for depop ulating the herds when they be come too large, and others were of the opinion that the food pro gram in the forest is the greatest need. Weekly shoots at the Brevard Country club each Saturday after noon were reported popular with increased attendance and partici pation in the sport each week.
