P©RT C| I* A li E |3 Edited By John I. Anderson --4. Rambling With The j Sports Editor ! FROM THE GRIDIRON TO THE HARDWOOD . . . The 1951 football season has ended and now it’s a swing to basketball. Down at Brevard high school prospects look pretty good and Rosman has already served notice that the two teams up there will be hard to beat this year ... OPEN SEASON ... On next Wednesday night the Blue Devils will open the 1951 season at Ben Lippen, where both the varsity and Jayvees will play. Marshall Teague is coaching the locals, and he expects to make a good Blue Ridge conference showing. There are 21 games on the slate and many of the home games are expected to be played on the Brevard college hardwood, enabling more local fans to see the games. WPNF hopes to broadcast some of the games play-by-play. SOME OF THE STARS . . . Teague has a good crop of forwards In David Cudd, Doug Poteat, Bob Kimzey, Jr., and Teddy Keller. At center he is depending on Jason Smith and Marty Osborne. Outstand ing guards are Jack Eubanks, Ken Byrd, Bruce Jones, Randall Bryson and William Arnette. Stars on the Jayvee squad are mostly ninth and i tenth graders and they are as follow's: Lowell Bryson, Charles Weiss, j Jim Kimzey, Charles Suttles, and others. GOOD REPRESENTATION . . . Going back to the football season,! here are some interesting facts about the football team. First, we placed players on the All-Conference and also the All-Western teams. All of the first eleven were either on one of the first three teams in each of the two dream teams or were on the honorable mntion list. The Devils scored a total of 158 points in 10 games while only 46 points were rolled up by opponents. This is an average of 15.8 points to 4.7 points per game. Not more than 14 points were scored on Brevard in any one game. All this is something we can be proud of when we look back on i the football season of 1951. Cheerleaders Call For School Support At recent basketball games the Brevard college cheerleaders have shown their ability to arouse shool spirit in the student cheering sec tion. Although the students have shown their interest by appearing at the games and joining in cheer ing the teams, the cheerleaders have asked for more cooperation. In the words of Peggy Waller, who is serving as head cheerleader, the students “definitely need school spirit and should attend games to show- the teams that we care wh^h-‘ er we win or lose.” In addition 10 the chief cheer leader, Peggy Waller, other mem bers of the cheerleading squad are Frances Davidson, Carolyn B. Free man. Rachel Franklin, Virginia Os borne, Stowe Hull and Bill White sides. Because the resignation of Larry Poteat has caused the need for a new member, the cheerlead ers have selected Carolyn Thrower as a substitute. The young lady visitor to the zoo j stared at the sign on the kangaroo ; cage in stunned silence. The sign I read, simply: NATIVE OF AUSTRALIA r She turned away from the cage and shrieked: “Great heavens! My j sister married one of those things!” !
