Any resemblance heluecn the
l iultrwood basketball team thai
playetl Brevard College last night
and the one that played Brevard
only a week before was purely co
incidental. Last week, the collegians pasted
the local independents, by an em
barrassing (il-31 score on the Bre
vard home grounds.
Last night, the Underwoods ap
parently couldn't have missed Hie
basket if they had played on pogo
slicks and shot with their toes.
The score, incidentally, was 03
,r)4. And that came about only be
cause the collegians pulled a rally
and the Underwoods got a little
tired.
At half lime, it was :i:!-22, and
a lew minutes after intermission,
the I'ndeiwoods had a 23-point
lead.
Whether ope man could make all
thai difference between a (i.r-31
loss and a (3-!54 win is a debatable
point.
Any way, Joe CI inc. Hie sky
scraper with bands and fort from
the county agent's office, didn't
play last week, and lie did play
last night, and at Irasl a Irenlsy-
weenlsy part of Hie responsibility
must be loaded onto liim, if any
body can find a derrick to do it,
that is.
Joe said he didn't play any
basketball when lir was at Stale
College. But some of Kvcrott
Case's lessons must have rubbed
oil on him somehow.
He scored 14 point', making a
dozen of them in the Ihsl half.
Bui he performed more valuable
service under both ha-ki t-;.
In brief, when the Underwoods
missed with a rebound, llu-y had
a couple of more rliaiice'..
When the Brevard hoys nii-.sed.
the Underwoods bad a couple of
more chances.
Ciill Taylor also was only n little
short of terrific, and the Under
woods' fast-breaking scoring plays
were beautifully executed and in
spiring to see.
Taylor contributed 13 points to
the grand tola! and. in general,
turned in a good passing Ramc.
Brevard's Conley, who shared
the evening's seining honors with
Cline. and Brew -ollahoi;ited to
whittle down the Underwood had
late in the third period to 45-35,
but Taylor and Cline stretched the
margin to fill -3a before the period
ended.

and the fixed schedule for all coun- j ,he
ty teams were submitted at uie
Court House meeting by recreation
officials who had drawn them up
contingent on the approval of the
community chairman.
Assistant County Agent Turner
Cathey, County Community De
velopment Program supervisor, ex
plained after the meeting that the
idea of the fixed schedule was
(.,o,i ,tmen hecause the basket
ball games definitely set might in
terfere with other community activ
ities which would be plannea tor
the same evenings.
All of the community basketball
teams will take part in the county
w i d e championship tournament
which wil be held about the mid
dle of March.
In adopting the plan to permit
the individual communities to
arrange their own basketball
schedules, the chairman in effect
reverted to the original provisions
of the county-wide recreation pro
gram. Twenty-one of the county's 23
communities have organized cage
squads, and all but one or two of
the points and matching the col
legians' field goals, and that was
ball game. In the course of
j the evening, everyone of the eight
Underwood men who played scored
at least five points.
The Underwoods return to Hay

tomorrow night when they will
meet the Candler All-Stars at the
Champion YMCA gym in Canton.

modern football. That'd be Al
Cornswcel. who's a University of
North Carolina psychology pro
fessor now. He was Ihe regular
fullback on Brown
immortal "Iron Man'
year.
Bobby Setzer, 1 he
tackle, might be able
trick, too.
But we'd have to admit that the
"iron men'' these days don't grow
up under every bush.
The same rules that had Dr.
Tom playing a full game every
game every season also permitted
him to play the game for three
different schools.
And somehow or other, he got
through eight seasons without
getting hurt too bad. The eight
include his freshman year at
little Trinity college in Randolph
County that moved to Durham to
become Duke University.
He played as a sub that year,
and didn't see much action.
The old rules said that once a
man left the game, he didn't get
back in. In brief, every school
played the one-platoon system.
The next year, 1892, he made
the Trinity varsity, played an av
erage five to six games a season
for the next three seasons.
When he graduated, he moved
over to the University of North
Carolina to start medical school.
The end of his undergraduate
days, however, didn't mean the
end of college football as it would
to the player of 1949.
The coaches weren't hampered
by any such three-year rule like
that.
So Tom made the varsity again,
playing wilh the great Carolina
varsity of 1890 in the same line-up
with Hie tremendous, bruising
Charlie Baskerville.
The next fall, he transferred to
Vanderbill to continue studying
medicine and football.
Jusl how he managed to escape
serious injury in those days is the
more remarkable when the differ
ence in modern and 1890 equip
inenl is considered.
"The boys are much better pro
tected today," Dr. Tom declared
"they have hip puds, shoulder pads
kidnrv pads, knee pads, helmets
ankle lape, jaw protectors."
He thought for a minute then
conl imied:
"We had some protection, too,
though.
"We had a nose guard, shin
guards, and a little padding around
the shoulders.
"We didn't have helmets. But
we had long hair."
One thing thai helped the old
time backs slay in the game long
er than their sons and nephews,
however, was the style of play.
"We played just by brute
strength," he pointed out. "The
plays were straight line smashes,
and end .sweeps. A lfi-yard run was
considered about the same sort
of accomplishment that a 40 or
fiO-yard run is today.
"We didn't have any passing.
North Carolina threw one In '95
against Georgia and beat them
with it. 0-0. That was the first
pass in football, they say. But the
backs usually didn't run very far
on a play, so they didn't get much
chance to get winded.
"After one man carried the ball
though, wed sort ol give him a
rest by letting another man run
with it."
Dr. Tom himself turned in one
of the few long runs of the season
in his final college game.
That was when he was a star
with Vanderbilt's Commodores of
1897.
A Vanderbill football annual
calls (bat team the "greatest team
of the '90's."
That year, with Tom String
field playing at right end, the
Commodores won six and tied one.
and didn't allow the opponents
lo score a single point.
The only team they didn't lick
was the good Virginia club, which
played them to a scoreless tie.
On November 26. 1897. the old
Nashville American gave Dr. Tom.s
lasl game a full-page spread, call
ed the Commodores "the greatest
team Vanderbilt ever had," and
reported his part in this way,
right near an artist's drawing of
him:
"The ball went to Connell but
only for a minute, though.
"While Sewanee looked the
other way, he passed it to String
field who made the run of the day."
"It was 40 yards long and would
have been a touchdown on a dry
day."
Dr. Tom said: "I slipped in the
mud on the ten-yard line, trying
to get away from a man. Both
feet flew right out from under
me."
But the run set up one of Van
derbilt's two touchdowns that
gave the Commodores a 10-0
victory over Sewanee. A touch
down was worth only five points
in those days, and Sewanee was
a national football power then,
too.
The "pass" the sportswrlter
mentions wasn't the same thing
the boys throw today.
This particular play was sort of
a Gay Nineties' version of the end-
