SP$RT PAGE Edited By John I. Anderson Rambling With The Sports Editor >—»——————w—■»—an—!■■■■ »■■■■■— Ml' * * GOOD BALL GAME . . . The Brevard Blue Devils gave local fans an eyeful of some real football last Friday night when they nosed • out Black Mountain by the score of 7-6. It was a marvelous ball game, and the most exciting part was just prior to the final gun. Not one spectator left that ball game untii li sounded, either. Many contend that Brevard was lucky as all getup to win that game, but they don’t think back and remember that the local lads threatened several times and should have had about two more touchdowns. But we agree that it was mighty close, and we enjoyed doing the play-by-play over the air. For the benefit of you fans who aren’t able to get to the games, we’d like to say that we’re mighty happy to be bringing you an ac count of what’s going on, and if you bear with us, we’ll try to do a better and better job as the season progresses. Saturday night we’ll be broadcasting from Memorial stadium in Asheville and bringing you the Brevard-Sand Hill game. We should also like to repeat that we are grateful to Pete Bikas, owner of Galloway’s cafe, and Lloyd Y. Biggerstaff, manager of Coca-Cola in this area, for sponsoring these games. HOLE IN ONE ... If you have seen Pete Doyle standing on the corner here in Brevard this week talking very enthusiastically to some one, using his hands, mostly, don't be alarmed: he’s telling about the hole in one that he made last week on No. 10 at the Brevard Country club. Don't take our word for it, Pete says he has witnesses. He de clares that A1 Perkins. Harry Loftis and Mrs. Robert Plummer will vouch for the accuracy of his contention. For the records it might be stated that Pete pulled a billiard shot: banking the ball on the club house and ricocheting it against the pin in the hole. GOOD BOOK . . . Speaking of golf brings to mind the new book, “Golf State, U. S. A.,” edited by Bob Harlow, which describes North Carolina as the golfing state of the nation. It’s well written; contains many scenic shots; discusses the good courses in the state; and. ex plains the stressing of golf in the schools of North Carolina. By the way. a pic of Looking Glass Falls is on page 26. TENNIS TRIO ... If you’d like to make a four at tennis one of these days, Bruce Livengood, Ed Roy and Ray Fry, all of the college, will welcome you. These gentlemen have the court at the college in good shape, but if you play with them, be sure you have a bottle of lini ment handy, for our third set with the group gave us some tired muscles. PS. The score was 14-12, after 3-6 and 6-3 sets.

Losers Stage Comeback The Brevard Blue Devils op ened the 1951 campaign here on the local high school field with a hard-fought 7-6 victory over the i strong Black Mountain eleven last Friday night. The entire game, so far as the ultimate result is concerned, was played in two lightning minutes. Toward the end of the first quar ter, after a period of feeling each other out, Black Mountain had first and 10 on their own 30-yard line. On a smash into the center of the line the ball squirted out of the arms of a Black Mountain back and into the eager arms of Larry Erwin, Brevard’s 155-pound wing back, who played an alert, heads up game and was one of the out standing backs on the field. With the ball recovered in mid air, Er win had clear sailing for Bre vard’s only TD. A pass from Er win to McGaha in the end zone, Vvas good and Brevard led 7 to 0. After the kick-off, White, of Black Mountain, skirted end and galloped 40 yards without a hand being laid on him, but a penalty for offsides nullified the play. Sec onds later a pass to White in the clear slipped through his fingers for what would have been a sure touchdown. As the half ended, Black Mountain was forced to kick to Auvil on the Brevard 35 yard line. The second half found Black Mountain deep within its own ter ritory as Larry Erwin’s long, boom ing kicks went out of bounds or fell dead deep in coffin corner near the goal line. Brevard drove deep to the Black Mountain 9 yard line during the third quarter, but a 4th down pass went incom plete and Black Mountain took over on downs. On the kick out which followed, Brevard, with Auvil carrying, drove to the 4-yard line where the Black Mountain line stiffened and held for downs. White, of Black Mountain, in a twisting, slashing drive over the Brevard right tackle, drove to the 24, and a first down and two plays later made it 3rd and 2 on his own 32. White then hit over tackle again for a first down on the Black Mountain 34. Brevard held and af ter another exchange of kicks Black Mountain took over on its own 32-yard line. On the first play White took a hand-off and literally outran the entire Brevard team as he walked a tight rope down the sidelines for 68 yards and a touchdown. The try for extra point was no good. Late in the fourth period with YANKS WIN OVER CARDS AT ECUSTA Gregory Is Big Man On The Mound And At Bat. Drake Tops Losers -. The Yankees won the Ecusta Interdepartmental baseball league by defeating the Cards in a one game play-off to the tune of 10-2. Manager Wilson Gregory was the big man for the winners. Greg ory limited the losers to five hits, and then at bat he had three for four. Strangely enough, the manager of the Cards was the top man for the losers. Troy Drake set the ex ample for his teammates by slam ming out two for three, but the Cards just couldn’t stay in the game with the hard-hitting Yanks in the play-off. Jones, Wilkie and Riddle allowed the winners 13 safe blows. Ecusta Teams Are Now In Play - Off Ecustas Interdepartmental base bi llers are in the midst of the play off for the post season trophy. The opening game was played Wednesday between the Yanks and the Tigers, and the schedule for the next game is as follows: Monday—Cards vs. Indians, 4:30, plant field. The winners of the two games will play each other for the tro phy at a later date, Fritz Merrell, the athletic director at Ecusta, an nounces. Wildlife Club To Meet On Thursday The regular meeting of the Transylvania Wildlife club will be held Thursday night at the city hall and Dr. Verne Hill, the presi dent, urges all members to attend this important session. Meeting time is 8 o’clock. Dr. Hill reports that there are several important business items to come and he requests full ^tendance. STRANGER THAN FICTION Because it will have the income from a $50,000 trust fund, a dog in St. Petersburg, Fla., is assured a life of ease. The late Mrs. Mary S. Morrow, a wealthy widow, set up the fund in her will. She directed that in come from it be used to buy stoaks, sweaters, and leather har ness. When the dog dies the trust fund is to go to the Morton Plant Hospital association. Veterinari ans say the dog, Dusty, a Boston bulldog, should live about ten years. White again running wild, Black Mountain drove to the Brevard 4 yard line with but a few seconds to play. Two smashes into the line failed to dent the Brevard for ward wall as the final gun ended the ball game. The final score— Brevard 7, Black Mountain 6.
