College Cross Country Team
Hoping&or Successful Season
Brevard College, even with
the losses of All-Americans
Regnal McAfee and Lennox
Stewart, hope for a successful
season this fall.
Brevard’s weakness will be in
an individual performer and a
lack of experience as only one
sophomore figures to be in the
top seven. Mike Smith, the only
sophomore, will be relied upon
heavily for leadership. Smith
pushed McAfee through the
first month of training before
being hurt last year.
Brevaid’s strength vyll be
in it’s depth of freshmen.
State finishers include Tim
Brayton, a 2nd place finisher
from Charlotte; Charles Sum
mat, a 5th place finisher from
Louisville, Kentucky; John
Grody, an 8th place finisher
from South Fort. Michael,
Kentucky; Gene Hehemann, a
15th place finisher from
Louisville, Kentucky; and
Robert Paterson, a 15th place
finisher from Storke, Florida.

Yancey, who had defeated Hot
Springs in their opener the
previous week. The Tigers’ rec

Quarterback Jimmy Hall
put Rosman on the score
board first in the opening

aronnd right end for fourteen
yards and six points.
The score climaxed a 50-yard
drive that was spearheaded by
a 23-yard run by halfback
Jimmy Earl McCall. A beauti
fully executed two point con
version pass play from Jimmy
Hall to Tim Thorpe was nulli
fied when the Tigers were de
tected offsides. The next at

6-0.
Rosman scored next on a
four-yard plunge up the mid
dle by Tony Gantt, and again
a few minutes later on a one

tempts failed, and the scoring
for the first half, and the en

tistics, outrushing East Yancey
by 222 yards to 90 and outpass

quarterback, Jim Norris, in
check for most of the evening.

host Asheville High’s “B” team
in a game scheduled to get urn

Blue Devils Face Tough Tuscola
■
In Conference Clash Here Friday
"Well have to play better
than we did in the last, half
against T. C. Roberson, or
Tuscola will blow ns right off
the field,” stated Coach Ed
Emery about Ms Blue Devils*
important clash here this Fri
day night Against the Tasceia
Mountaineers.
“Tuscola has a good, solid ball
club, and on top of that, their
quarterback and one of their
starting halfbacks live with
Coach Joe Caldwell, and they
certainly know his system,” the
Blue Devil bossman stated.
He was referring to Jody
Caldwell, Tuscola’s fine pass
ing quarterback, and hts hard
running brother Jeff, who are
both Coach Caldwell's
“It's too bad that a game as
early in the season as this one
has such importance,” Coach
Emory continued. Most area
football observers generally
concede that Tuscola and Bre
vard are the two strongest
teams in the Parkway Division
of the AAA Mountain Confer
ence, and thus the entire sea
son, as far as a playoff spot is
concerned, could be wrapped up
in Friday night’s game here.
Coach Emory then went on
to say that his past Monday’s
practice session was the best
to date for the Blue Devils,
and he is confident that his
squad realizes the importance
of Friday night’s encounter
with the strong Mounties.
“We’re going to do our best
to be ready for them, and I feel
that if we can contain Jody
Caldwell’s passing, we’ll be in
pretty good shape,” he conclud
ed.
BHS officials point out that
numerous season ticket hold
ers have failed to pick up
their tickets so far. They
urge all who haven’t picked
up their tickets to do so by
Thursday, or else these tickets
will be released on a first
come, first served basis.
Kickoff time for the import
ant conference clash has been
set for 8:00 p.m. Friday night.
