engraved name of the winner and
the winner’s school will be given
to the school represented by the sue- ; to Tennessee. The two
teams exchanged a few punts and
line bucks and end runs Mars Hi-
added another touch-down to her
number. It was “Bill” Suggs that
carried the ball over this time. The
first half closed with Mars Hi.
leading 18-0.
The second half began with Mars
cessful contestants. The cup will
remain in the possession of the win
ning school for a period of one year,
or until one school wins it two years
in succession; then it will become the
permanent possession of that school.
In the contest of 1926 Rutherford-
■Spindale, represented by Miss Libby
Minner, and Fruitland Institute, rep
resented by Mr. John Sinclair, won
the cups. Those reaching the finals
were: Doris Troutman, A.sheville High
School; Libby Minnei, Rutherford-
Spindale; Helen Reighard, Swan-
nanoa High School; Lorene York,
Brevard High School; Harold Dun
can, Clearmont High School; Earnest
McCrackin, Clyde High School; John
Sinclair, Fruitland Institute; Judson
Edwards, Mars Hill High School
(state!; and McLean Grogan, Bre
vard High School.
It is too early for prophecies but
advance interest tends to predict a
merry battle if Rut.herford-Spindale
and Fruitlaml Institute become owners
of a loving cu^ in this contest.
Mars Hill Goes Wet
Mars Hill had crept into Hiwasse
territory. The feature play was en
acted at this juncture. “Bill” Suggs
stepped back apparently intending to
punt, but instead skirted around
right end.
Having Anderson and Plemmons
as forerunners to prepare the way
Suggs jaunted merrily along a 60-
yard stretch to a touch-down. He got
his extra point. There was not much
more excitement for the remaining
part of the third quarter.
The main point of interest in the
fourth quarter was a 45-yard pass
F arches to Anderson and line bucks
to cover the yardage necessary to
get the last touch-down.
The whole Mars Hill team played
a wonderful game but the running
of the back field aided by the clip
ping of Plemmons and the playing of
Carter, Glasgow, Baber and Dockery
deserves special comment.

creased if it were necessary.
The water needs seem to have
been satisfied. What next? The
Library!
History has it that water played
an important role in the placing of
Mars Hill at its present site. The
location was selected not only be-
cau.se of landscape beauty and pos
sibilities but also because there was
a bold spring of water on each side
of the proposed campus. For a long
while these springs supplied the
aquatic needs; that was before the
■day of the village and dormitories.
When the springs became inade
quate, wells were dug. There were
three bored and three dug wels on
the present campus. Of the bored
wells the deepest, which was used
until 1925, was under the little con-
efete block house behind the B. S.
U. building; the second was near the
drinking fountain in front of Spil-
man; the third was in the “garage”
at Rivermont. One of the dug wells
was in the rear of Treat; there was
one between the administration build
ing and Spilman, and one which was
never completed in front of Treat.
These wells supplied what water
there was until in 1919 when a
system costing ?30,000 was constnict-
ed. The water-shed on Bailey was
thought to be large enough to meet
the needs of the town and college
for years to come; however, during
the years of drought which followed,
the supply ibecame so low that the
system was not vsatisfactoiy. The
water was declared impure. In this
emergency, two wells were bored
just south of the college proper in
order to obtain a pure .supply of
drinking water; however, no arrange
ment could deny the pressing need
for a new water system.

Mr. Farr, “De 01’ Ark’s A-Mover-
in.” Just then the request came in
for the quartette to sing, “Climbing
Jacob’s Ladder.” Again Mr. Farr
sang, “Danny Boy” and “Let Me
Call You Sweetheart.”
Mr. Dayles Stynt, broadcasting-
manager complimented the singers
very highly and extended to them
a cordial invitation to come again.
The same evening Miss Blackstock,
and Miss Hinton gave a very de
lightful program. “Tambourin’’ by
Kriesler was rendered. A younger
.sister of Miss Blackstock’s sang,
“Lullaby from Jacelyn” by Sandre,
accompanied by Mrs. Fred Black-
stock Brown at the piano and Miss
Blackstock on the violin.
This was dedicated to their Mother.

finer. The Collegiate Ramblers, the

occasion.
