n
Lions Manage Late Score
To Tie Liberty Baptist
,ln a game highlighted by
-flashes of bright offense, the
? Mars Hill Lions came back in
the fourth quarter to tie Liber
ty Baptist 21-21 in their season
opener at Meares Stadium
. Saturday night.
\,The Mars Hill defense,
though generally effective and
brilliant at times, clearly felt
the lack of end Greg Plem
fnons, cornerback Admiral
.Webster, and noseguard
David Harrison in trying to
yfontain the Flames' explosive
?ffense Steve Ferguson did a
' creditable job replacing Har
Wf. - ? : :
rison at noseguard, while J.C.
Burkett, Steve Campbell,
Mike Strickland and John
Gulledge played an excellent
game.
James Miller showed pro
mise at fullback, Ken Phillips'
speed provides the Lions with
a good breakaway threat, and
Mark Clark passed for 135
yards.
Mars Hill drew first blood in
the first quarter when
237-pound tackle Johnny
Gulledge alertly grabbed a
pass bobbled by the Flames'
Greg Mosley and galloped 20
yards into the end zone un
touched. John Coble kicked
the extra point.
Liberty Baptist came back
with an intercepted Mark
Clark pass as quarterback
Glenn Inverso passed to tight
end Robert Guetterman and
running back Greg Mosley
streaked to the Lions' 28 on an
option pitchout. Mosley, a
fast, shifty runner, moved to
the 18. Then Mosley changed
hats and passed to Steve
K earns for a touchdown to tie
the game at 7-7. As the first
quarter ended, Ken Phillips
broke away and nearly
scored, reaching the 15 before
being pulled down from
behind. The Lions reached the
3, where the Flames' defense
stiffened and drove them back
to 19, where John Coble miss
ed a field goal attempt.
Mars Hill scored again in
the second quarter on a flashy
end-around from the 29 by
tight end Barry King. Inverso
quickly led the Flames back
down the field, following a
long run by Mosley to the 33
with an effective mix of plays.
Raynor went over from the 1
for the score.
With about two minutes left
in the half, Liberty Baptist
picked off a Clark pass and In
verso quickly hit Raynor, who
made a classic fingertip catch
at the sideline. With 0:57 left,
another pass by Mosley found
wide receiver Steve Patterson
all alone, and the half ended
with Liberty-Baptist up 21-14.
Despite several chances, the
Lions didn't produce another
score until late in the fourth
period when Tim Schneider
recovered a fumble punt
reception on the LBC 17.
Fullback James Miller moved
to the 12, Phillips to the 10, and
after a confusing penalty
situation, the Lions found
themselves on the 1. With the
crowd on its feet, the Lions
failed to score once, then
twice; finally Phillips made it
over by inches with 6:43 re
maining in the game.
LION FULLBACK JAMES MILLER drives
against the Liberty Baptist defense. Miller
rushed for 66 yards in 20 carries Saturday.

Cover Crops
For Winter
Within the next few weeks
the harvest of tobacco, corn
and other crops will be in full
swing. This brings a need for
winter cover crop to protect
the land from winter erosion
W.B. Zink, county executive
director of ASCS, has an
nounced that government
cost-sharing is available
through ASCS for winter cover
cropping and may be re
quested anytime.
"Cost-sharing is limited to
seedbed preparation, seed and
the seeding operation, at the
rate of $4 per acre," Zink said
"It is not authorized for
designated set-aside acreage
or volunteer stands."
The seeding must be per
formed in accordance with
good farming practices which
includes a well prepared
seedbed, a full seeding of
adapted seed and the applica
tion of lime, phosphate and
potash where necessary to
assure a good stand and good
growth, Zink emphasized.
Pasturing consistent with
good management may be
permitted, but none of the
growth may be harvested for
hay or seed. A good stand and
growth must be obtained and
kept on the land until Feb. 15
for rye and March 1 for all
other seeds.
Zink also said that "a
limited amount of funds are
available for other govern
ment cost-sharing practices,
such as permanent vegetative
cover establishment and per
manent vegetative cover im
provement."
Assistance and complete
details for these practices are
available at the ASCS Office.
Any farmer desiring cost
sharing should visit the office
between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Monday through Friday to file
their request.

Wages In North Carolina Rank Last
In a Labor Day speech
issued over the weekend.
State Labor Commissioner
John C. Brooks said that
North Carolina workers
receive lower wages than
workers in any other state in
the nation.
"Why," asked Brooks,
"should the average
American industrial worker
earn nearly $4,000 a year
more than a similar worker in
North Carolina? Why should
the diligent, hardworking
citizens of our state be paid
an average manufacturing
wage that ranks last among
the SO states and have a per
capita income ranking of 41st
in the nation? Our citizens
dseervt better. Our state can
do better."
According to government
the average weekly earnings
of a factory worker In North
Carolina last June were
$192.40. By comparison,
workers in Mississippi, the
next lowest state, earned
9199.17.
Among other southeastern
states, workers in South
Carolina earned $202.10; in
Georgia, (210.71; in Ten
nessee, 9216.26; in Florida.
9223.17; in Alabama, 9242.43;
and in Kentucky, 9267.30.
In the same month, the
average worker in the United
States as a whole received
999I.W a week.
"As we face the second
serious recession of this
decade," said Brooks, "North
Carolina government of
ficials, educators, and cor
porate leadership must
which the state has followed
in its industrial development
has resulted primarily in low
wages and economic in
security for a great number of
our citizens.
"We must reset our sights
and redirect our efforts
towards enhancing our own
resources... We must em
phasize better Jobs, not Just
more jobs. We must provide
sufficient skill training for
North Carolina workers to
compete for and obtain high
skill jobs in high-wage in
dustries."
