DOING WELL ... Gil Coan, while he isn’t playing sensational
baseball, is doing okay this year with the Baltimore Orioles. So far
this season, that is, up until the beginning of this week, Gil was hit
ting .291, which is one of the highest averages on the Baltimore squad.
In fact, there aren’t too many ball players in the American league
with a better average, and Gil also has his share of RBIs.
HONOR DAIL . . . The Monday Morning quarterbacks around town,
and don’t pin us down on who the quarterbacks are, honored Coach D. G.
Dail with a supper Tuesday night in Gaither’s Rhododendron room.
Coach Marshall Teague was to have been one of the honored guests
■with Dail, but he was out of town. Appropriate tributes were paid to
Coach Dail, who has done much for football in Brevard. While his
teams were not always the best in the conference, they were well train
ed, excellently conditioned clubs, which drew good crowds. The spirit
of Dail’s teams was tops and good sportsmanship was a by-word with
liim. Coach Dail gave Brevard its first and only Blue Ridge conference
(championship, and he leaves Brevard with the good wishes of everyone.
The Monday Morning quarterbacks were quick to tell him Tuesday
flight that while they were highly critical of the action of the Blue
Devils in several games over the years that they, the quarterbacks,
couldn’t have done half as good a job as Dail did, and they thanked him
profusely for the fine work he did in making men out of boys.

DISTRICT COURT OF HONOR
The May Court of Honor for the
Transylvania district, Daniel Boone
Council Boy Scouts of America,
was held Thursday evening, May
39, at Turkey Creek Baptist church
with Troop 9 as host troop. Because
of the smallness of the crowd, for
malities were dispensed with.
Investiture of Tenderfoot Scouts

executive of the Daniel Boone
council. Those included were Ar

Crowe, of Troop 9, Turkey Creek,
and Mickey Davis, of Troop 14,

There was some discussion as to
the advisability of skipping one
