“THE MOUNTAINEER”
PROMISES TO BE A
WORK OF MERIT
Since the close of the football
season, work on “The Moun
taineer” has been progressing
with great satisfaction. The en
tire staff are more busily engag
ed at their respective duties
than they have been at any time
during the year. The coopera
tion of the student body has
made it possible for the editor-
in-chief to follow his schedule
with very little deviation. About
the onlyj! drawback is credited to
a few iiidividuals. and organiza
tions who have failed to have
photography done. This seems
a small thing indeed, but a few
more days delay on the part of
some individuals, or of such or
ganizations as—^say the faculty,
will mean that the annual will
fail to realize the benefit of dis
counts from both engraver and
printer, or it will mean that
some very important faces will
n(Jt be seen in this handsome
volume.
Those members of the staff
who are preparing copy for the
printer are editing some articles
that 'Vvill surely be in keeping
with, if they do not surpass, the
achievements of literary geni-

^ On Thanksgiving day a crowd
of two thousand people saw the
Weaver College “Blue Giants”
triumph over their Baptist ri
vals from Mars Hill College. The
margin of victory was a field
goal from the toe of Kuykendall
and a touchdown by Okie Jones.
Mars Hill failed to score.
Weaver received on the north
end of the field and marched
down toward the Mars Hill goal
line for fifty yards, using
straight line bucks. Mars Hill
strengthened here and Kuyken
dall went back and drop-kicked a
beautiful field goal.
! Weaver received again and
i earned the ball steadily down
I the field but lost the ball on
downs on Mars Hill’s thirty-
yard line. The rest of the half
was a punting duel, neither
team gaining an advantage.
Mars Hill lost her best
chance to score at the beginning
of the last half. Kuykendall
fumbled the opening kick-off and
Cook recovered on Weaver’s
seven-yard line. The Baptist’s
started an offensive drive on the
“Blue Giant” line which was re
pulsed with several yards loss.
Sams then attempted a drop-
kick which went wild and it was
Weaver’s ball on her twenty-
yard line.
Weaver could not gain and
Brummitt punted out of bounds
on the fifty-yard line. Mars Hill
punted back and for the rest off
the quarter and most of the last
one the two teams resorted to a
kicking game. With about five
minutes to play and the ball in
Weaver’s possession on her own
twenty-yard line Lemond made a
beautiful kick that went for
seventy yards. Mars Hill recov
ered on her ten-yard line. After
two ruiming plays had failed
Reece kicked and the ball went
out of bounds on the Baptist
thirty-yard line. Here Coach
Arbogast substituted 0. Jones
for Clemens and this big fellow
ripped the Mars Hill line open
until he had crossed the go^
line. Kuykendall kicked goal
and the scoring was over for the
day. The game ended with the
ball in possession on Mars Hill’s
ten-yard line.
Weaver gained three times as
much ground as Mars Hill and
was exceptionally strong on off
tackle plays and short end runs.
Mars Hill based her offense on
the forward pass. She complet
ed several for long gains but was
not able to do this consistently.
Lemond intercepted one Baptist
pass and would have ran for a
touchdown had he not stepped
out of bounds.
Horace Clemens with his knee
in a brace was the offensive star
of the game making many long
runs despite his leg. Kuyken-

SOME INTERESTING
FACTS ABOUT THIS
YEAR’S STUDENT BODY
At a recent chapel meeting
slips were passed out among the
students calling for certain in
formation and the results of this
survey is very interesting. Thfe
average age was found to be 18,
31 students testifying to that
age, while 19 years ran a close
second with 23 fessing up to
that number of birthdays. It
was found that the youngest, 15
years, and the oldest 80 years,
were both among the co-eds. In
religious beliefs or affiliations
the Methodists lead by a sub
stantial niajority with the Bap
tist next in rank. It was quite
a revelation to learn that there
is one student in college who
avows he is a “holy roller.’
Weaver college has this year
students enrolled from several
states and two students from
Cuba. The greater part of the
student body, however, p.laiTn
the “Old North State” as their
place of birth, but other states
come in for a share also, with
two students registering from
the “Volunteer” , state; three
from our neighbor to the south;
a like number of Georgia “crack
ers two from the Orange
