  • Page 6 The Western Carolinian Friday, May 7, 1965 Men's Softball Scores Given Tornadoes Have Driven Planks Through Solid Masonry Walls Meteorologists believe that man may someday be able to thwart tornadoes, the destructive and freakish storms that have caused heavy loss of life in the Guilford Defeats Catamounts 11-2 Guilford's Quakers banged out an even dozen safeties to conquer Western Carolina 11-2 Monday afternoon at Greensboro in a Carolinas Conference game. The decision evened the records of both teams at 8-8. Jim Bryan, a freshman righthander from Mount Olive, scattered six hits to hurl Guilford to the triumph. Five Quakers, including Bryan, each banged out two safeties to pace the well-distributed attack. Others who got a pair of hits each were Warren Stewart, Roger Brooks, Kendall Buckner, and Harry Sasser. Guilford scored three times in the first inning to clinch the decision. Buckner drove in two runs with a single and then Bryan singled another across. Joe Fraser with two for four topped the Western Carolina hitting. He had a triple and a single, with the triple driving in Bobby Hicks with a run in the third inning. The teams played again on Tuesday afternoon.

The current twisters have driven planks like spears through solid masonry walls. A blacktop road in Michigan was rolled back as if it were a rug. Ordinary wind-measuring devices are smashed by tornadic winds moving perhaps 400 or more miles an hour, the National Geographic Society says. But a new type of radar called the Doppler system will soon enable research scientists to measure for the first time the fantastic speed of particles caught up in the dark, rotating funnels of the storms. Certain Conditions Prevail Weathermen cannot yet predict exactly when or where a deadly cone of wind will burst from the coluds and scythe a- cross the countryside. However, a certain combination of conditions appears indispensable for a tornado's formation: moist, warm air at low levels and cool, dry air at higher levels; a southerly wind at the surface and a strong wind blowing over it from a different direction. During the past few years, meteorologists have had increasing success in detecting tornadoes and following their progress on radar screens. "If we had enough radars," says Dr. Jerome Spar, director of meteorological research for the US Weather Bureau in Washington, D. C, "we could observe every tornado in the country." To collect data about tornadoes, weathermen attached to the Bureau's Severe Storms laboratory on the University of Oklahoma campus at Norman are flying into the violent thunderstorms with which tornadoes are associated. "The big problem is to understand the dynamics of tornadoes and ultimately to predict them," says Dr. Spar. "Over the last five years we have succeeded in developing a somewhat more satisfactory model of what environmental conditions are associated with tornadoes. But a good deal more work needs to be done." Another problem being studied by the Weather Bureau is to develop an early-warning and communication system to alert the public, especially at times when most people would not be THURSDAY, APRIL 29 1st and 2nd Reynolds South AB R H Robinson, 2b 5 2 1 Moose, If 5 3 3 Owen.'cf 5 4 4 Seay, c 5 13 Todd, ss 5 0 1 Beach, 3b 5 2 1 Brintnall, lb 5 3 3 Myers, rf 5 2 3 Wooten, p 5 3 3 Brown, 2b 3 0 0 Totals 48 18 22 Kappa Alpha Reid, 3b 4 2 0 Rigsby, 2b 5 2 2 Howard, sf 5 3 2 Winters, ss 4 3 0 Sheeley, ss 10 0 Hardin If 5 4 2 Sharpe, cf 5 3 4 McMurray, rf 4 11 Bagnall, rf 10 0 McDonald, p 4 11 Dillard lb 4 2 2 Eaton, c 4 2 3 Totals 46 23 17 Reynolds — 154 135 1-18 22 13 KA — 60(10)601x-23 17 4 Home runs—Moose (Reynolds) — 2 Loflin, cf Toney, c Murray, sf Henzy sf Jolly, 3b Bost, 3b Flynn, If Vincent, rf Valentine, rf Totals 2nd Buchanan Dobins, ss Cole, 2b Burns, If Loftin, rf Yeargin, p Barnette, sf Knight, lb Ramey, 3b Halpin, cf Wyatt, c Totals Buchanan — 3rd and 4th Madison Clark, p 4 Stratton, lb 2 Baldwon, 2b 4 Halgrim, 2b 0 Pittman, ss 4 1 1 1 .1 0 0 1 2 4 3 2 2 0 3 4 1 2 35 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 3 4 39 2 0 2 0 1 10 040 411 0-10 9 5 Madison — 010 002 4-7 11 9 Home runs — Loflin, Toney (Madison), Wyatt (Buchanan) MONDAY, MAY 3 Tau Kappa Epsilon AH Lytle, ss 4 Edwards sf 4 Harris, 3b 4 Haywood, cf 4 Warren, If 3 Wade, 2b 3 Moser c 3 Goforth, lb 3 Hansen, rf 3 Little, p 3 Totals 34 THE HIDE-AWAY Sandwiches - Breakfast Short Orders All Student Needs Nationally Advertised Drugs and Cosmetics Monday - Saturday Open 7:30 a.m. - 10:30 p.m. listening to their radios or watching television. Forecast Zone Weathermen were once forbidden to mention tornadoes for fear of causing a panic. Now they can say that a tornado is likely to form in a certain 20,- 000-syuart-mile area; their current task is to whittle down the forecast area. Eventually, when weathermen know the exact causes of a tornado, they may be able to prevent its formation, possibly by a cloud-seeding technique. A tornado is born several thousand feet above the ground. It may never touch the earth, or its spinning funnel may bounce along the ground, leaving some areas unscathed in the path of destruction. Generally a tornado travels no more than 20 to 40 miles, though some have gone 300. The worst twister on record killed 689 and injured 1,980 per sons in the Midwest in 1925. Every state has been hit at one time or another. But some states get more than their share. Texas averages 28 each year, Kansas 26 and Oklahoma 24. Tornadoes strike in the United States more than elsewhere, but they also have occurred in Canada, Africa, Central Asia, Australia and New Zealand. 1st and 2nd Robertson McClary, c Minter, 2b Bateman, 3b Jackson, ss Berry, If Smith, cf Hondros, rf Gladden, p Beaver, lb Gillcrest, sf Totals 4 4 4 4 4 3 3 3 2 3 34 R 2 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 2 0 0 6 Jones, cf D.
