Offensive interior linemen seldom get any
words of praise in football write-ups, which in my
estimation is a great injustice. You always read
about the brilliant runs, the great catches, the pin
point passing, and occasionally, you’ll read about
someone’s great “Fearsom Foursome” or “Purple
People Eaters” who do such fine jobs as defensive
linemen. But you actually read something about
offensive interior linemen as often as an athiest
reads the Bible.
This is all to say that Gary Nelson did a great
job as an offensive interior lineman in the Shrine
Bowl last Saturday afternoon at Charlotte. Now,
you have to watch closely to see just what an of
fensive tackle, guard or center does to help pave
the way for those brilliant runs, great catches, and
yes, to enable the quarterback to have time for
his pin-point passing. His main duty is to see that
his assigned “man” or opponent, doesn’t get
through to spill the ball carrier or passer for a big
loss, and to block, block, block, while his team
tries to pick up vauable yardage.
No one could have done a better job at his
assigned task than Gary Nelson did (and has done
throughout his high school football career), and it
certainly wasn’t his fault that the South Carolina
forces prevailed in the big Shrine Bowl classic by
a 35-23 margin.
Gary started and played all the way on of
fense for the Tar Heels, aifd then from midway of
the third period on, he played on defense as well.
He followed a long tradition of Brevard High grid
ders who have gone to the big all-star classic and
each has done his job well. Not one Shrine Bowl
selectee from Brevard has ever gone down there
and spent much time on the bench, and Gary was
no exception to this “rule”. If you’re from Brevard
and go to the Shrine Bowl, you play.
Gary and Pisgah’s Steve Limbo played side
by side on offense throughout the entire game, and
each did his job well. We just wanted to let the
home folks know that our ole mountain boys did
• good job, and this was proved when Sylva-Web
ster’s Gary Cowan earned the trophy as die game’s
most outstanding defensive player. Gary Nelson
is one more fine football player, and we want to
Brevard’s Blue Devils
soundly whipped the Enka
Jets here last Friday night
for their third consecutive
win of the year, but they then
ran into a buzz-saw over at
Pisgah Tuesday night as the
Bears knocked them from the
ranks of the undefeated.
The Blue Devils defeated
Enka for the first time in years
here last Friday by a score of
69-54, but the wheels rolled off

11 points paced Brevard’s
balanced attack against the
Jets, while Bobby Miller was
high for the losers.
Enka’s girls defeated Brevard
by a 45-28 margin in the pre
liminary contest.
At Pisgah Tuesday night,
numerous turnovers and cost
ly errors by the Blue Devils
greatly aided Pisgah’s cause
as the Bears chalked up their
third consecutive win of the
year.
Washington, John Eggert and
Denny Griffin were all in dou
ble figures for Brevard with
29, 15 and 10 points respective
ly, but it just wasn’t enough to
offset the strong Bears’ attack.
Pisgah’s scoring was paced
by Ricky McClure, Steve
Milner and Mike Parris with
28, 19 and 10 points respec
tively.
Brevard’s girls won their first
game of the season in the pre

Mr. Ochsenreiter told golfing
enthusiasts in a mid-morning
meeting at the Skyland Hotel in
Hendersonville and at a lunch
eon at Berry’s in Brevard.
“We have some of the finest
golf courses in the country
and this gives us an oppor
tunity to advertise the fact
that we have an abundance of
challenging courses in the
most picturesque setting to be
found anywhere. This isn’t
just an Asheville or Etowah
Valley promotion. It’s a sec
tional attraction and we need
and seek the cooperation of
all the cities, towns and golf
courses in Western North
Carolina,” the chairman as
serted.
Mr. Ochsenreiter circulated a
list of what committees would
be necessitated and also a break
