?I ? Heard And Seen ?
By POP
The Nov. < town election here is over,
and three incumbents were re-elected,
towit, Lawrence Ponder as mayor and
Jackie Davis and James Penland,
aldermen. The only change was in the
aldermen's race when S.L. Nix defeated in
cumbent Buford Marler. The contests were
very close, and the more than SO interested
citizens who attended the countout didn't
know who was elected as aldermen until the
final ballots were tabulated. Congratula
tions to the winners, and condolences to the
losers.
Congratulations are also in order for
the four Madison County senior citizens who
won medals at the Golden Age Olympics in
Haywood County last Friday and Saturday.
Leading the winners was Mrs. Dorothy B.
Shupe of Walnut who won a gold medal in
checkers, two silver medals in basketball
and a silver medal in bridge. Surely there
were some mighty pom* players for Dot
Shupe to win four medals. I wouldn't be sur
prised to hear that Dot would now try to
compete in the United States try outs for the
Winter Olympics. Wonder how she is at ski
ing? Just kidding, Dot.
One of my favorite friends in
Waynes ville is Betty Neuenschwander, a
member of the Waynes ville Mountaineer
personnel. In last week's issue of the Moun
taineer, her engagement to Michael Dean
Plemmons of Canton was announced. Con
gratulations, Michael, for "winning" a tine
young lady.
Kelly Davis, faithful member of the
Marshall Baptist Church, was again
recognized Sunday morning of last week for
his outstanding record of perfect atten
dance at Sunday School for 29 consecutive
years. That means that Kelly hasn't missed
Sunday School somewhere for more than
: 1,506 consecutive weeks. I doubt if anyone
j else in Madison County can come close to
: this record. Congratulations, Kelly.

Patriots With Spirit
Seven member* el the
Patriot football teem played
their last M>ne for Madison
High this weak, facing a large
and tough Henderaonville
team that baa lost only oae
game all season. The size of
Henderaonville was not a new
challenge for them; they have
been outweighed by virtually
every team they have played
this tall . But the players have
not complained about giving
away weight to their op
pooents. When asked how
much of a disadvantage it has
been, one of them answered:
"Mostly it hasn't been too bad.
They've been bigger, but
we've been stronger."
Ttat'a the kind of spirit that
has kept the Patriots in almost
every game this year untii the
end; moat at their losses have
coma by only two or Una
points.
This spirit did not grow sud
denly. It came about gradual
ly, a game at a time; for moat
of theae seniors it began as
SENIOR PATRIOTS are Phil
Bentley, Lee Hoffman, Tim
Wilde, Brian Dodge, Greg
Meadows, Mark Fox and Steve
Adams.
Lions Outscore Indians
The Mars Hill Lions learned
what it felt like to do
everything right, at least for a
full half of a football game.
And that half was enough, as
the Lions outscored and
outlasted the Newberry In
dians 24-8 at Meares Stadium
on Saturday for their seventh
win of the season. The team is
now 5-1-1 in the SAC-8 and 7-1-1
overall, guaranteed a second
place finish in their con
ference and a shot at the na
tional NAIA playoffs.
The vick?7 over injury
weakened Indians was a fine
all-around performance in
which both offense, defense,
special teams, and kickers all
played well.
The only possible fault
revealed by the game was the
lack of sustained drives and a
weakness at scoring from in
side the opponents' 20-yard
line. The Lion's single long
drive was the first of the
game, in which the offense
moved 59 yards in 10 plays to
score. But that drive consisted
largely of a 47-yard passing
play to tight end Steve Maen
nle. Clark finally dove one
yard for the touchdown after
several rushes failed.
Newberry was hampered by
the absence of quarterback

New Street Lights To Be Installed
Here ? Marshall To Be One Of Best
Lighted Touins In The Southeast
D.M. Robinson, manager of
French Broad Electric
Membership Corp., announc
ed today that the new street
lighting system in Marshall
would be installed Nov. 18,
providing the weather was
such that work could be done
on that date. The new system
will be the flood lighting of
Main Street in Marshall by 22
fluorescent luminaries and
they will replace the present
incandescent luminaries that
are now being used. The pre
sent lights are rated at 321
watts and they emit 6,000
lumen. The nex fixtures are
rated at 360 watts and will
have the capacity of 21,200
lumen per lamp. The new
lights will give off 353 percent
more light. He states that this
is the latest improvement in
street and highway lighting,
and this $5,000 installation will
be an added attraction to the
town of Marshall. This town
will be referred to by its
visitors as having one of the
best street lighting systems in
the southeast.

Eddie Pettus, out with crack
ed ribs, and fullback
C.W.Wilson, who has an in
jured knee and played only a
few minutes.
The Lions' only gap was
represented by Clayton Curry,
one of the outstanding defen
sive linemen of this year's
team, but remarkably there
emerged Eddie Bristow to fill
the gap. Bristow, playing for
the first time on the varsity,
caused a fumble by Indian
quarterback Alan Roebuck,
recovered by tackle Mike
Strickland to set up a field
goal by John Coble, and made
a number of excellent defen
sive {days. Freshman Keith
Wall also played well return
ing punts for the Lions.
Kenny Phillips was back in
the lineup, and he showed
himself to be recovered by
dashing for a 10-yard
touchdown in the second
quarter to make the score 15-0.
On the conversion, Mark
Clark yanked the ball away as
John Gulledge faked a kick
and threw a 2-point pass to
Gary Smith.
The third touchdown was set
up by an interception by J.C.
Burkett, who returned the ball
17 yards to the Newberry 22.
After several runs failed,
Clark wobbled a pass to Steve
Maennle for a three-yard
touchdown and a 24-0 first-half
lead.
Newberry's lone score came
at the very end of the game on
a six-yard pass from Roebuck
to Gary Cali.
The Lions held the Indians'
offense to only 17 yards in the
entire first half, and 91 yards
for the whole game, Coach
Gibson's only complaint, and
it was uttered almost as an
afterthought, was that it
would have been nice to score
more points in the effort
toward a favorable playoff
berth.

Madison Patriots Fall^,
To Bearcats, 28-8
Shaken by three first-half
Henderson vi lie touchdowns,
two of them goiag half the
length of the field, the
Madison Patriots never got in
to the game on Friday night,
bowing to the Bearcats M-8 at
home to close the 1*7* season.
Sophomores Jeff Ball and
Alex Feliss put in good efforts
both as running backs and
receiver, but the team clearly
felt the absence of their
leading running back and
kicker, Mike Henaley. The
Patriots only averaged *7
yards per kick over six punts.
The first two punts left
Henderson ville with the ball
on the Patriot 40 from which
the Bearcats moved easily in
six plays to their first
touchdown.
But the emotional high point
of the game for Madison came
at the very end, when they
were down 26-0. Faced with
ending their season at the
wrong end of a shutout, the
team finally dug in and
scored.
With just 3:19 left, guard
Greg Meadows forced s Bear
cat fumble that was recovered
by Lorne Maxwell. Then, after
a broken (day and a near
interception, quarterback Tim
Wilde threw a 22-yard pass to
Steve Fish whose sure hands
made Madison fans wonder
why he has not been used
more. A 5-yard pass to Feliss
and a 4-yard pass to Fish
again brought the Patriots to
the Bearcat 11.
Then, with just 1:06 left,
Wilde was sacked for a loss
and the drive seemed finished.
Worse disappointment was to
come. Wilde handed off to
Barnette on a reverse, and
Barnette scooted into the end
zone for a score ? nullified by
first a 15-yard clipping penalty
and then by 15 more yards for
unsportsmanlike conduct.
But some things are meant
to be. Wilde ran the ball out of
bounds, stopping the clock
with 0:26 left. Then s pass
found Jeff Ball and another hit
Alex Feliss, and the ball was
on the 10 with two seconds left
in the game. Wilde hit Kevin
Barnette in the left fiat and
Barnette sprinted for the
score. Lacking a kicker, Wilde
then ran all the way to the
right end zone marker, skim
ming in for two points with no
time showing on the dock.
For the rest of the game,
Henderson ville just had too
many weapons. One was
Daryl Damp*, a 1 fit-pound ^
senior running back who,*
scored the first tomlwlowu
Another was speedy Wad^
Wilson, who Just two mioutcfi
later managed to elude the
Patriot secondary completely; '
take a pass from quarterback
Joe Jamison, and spring
yards for a touchdown.
J
And still another
ISO-pound Junior back Billy
Newborn, wbo was even faster
than Wilson. With 3:8 re
maining in the first half?4'
Newborn, executing a routine
dive play to perfection, shdlH
out of his backfield antt*1
through the Patriot defense lift
fast that everyone around him
seemed to be standing still. Hi*
kept going like that for 43
yards and a TD.
Even then, Madison's pro
blems were not over for
first half. Terry Boyd in
tercepted a Phil Bentley |
to stop one drive. And another I
sputtered when Patriot run-<^
ners were thrown for a loss
several times. As the half end*"'
ed they took a penalty to ran
out the clock. But a few-H
seconds remained, and, trying
to punt out of their end sone^
the center went over Wilde's
head for a safety. Score: 22-0.'"7
Midway through the third
quarter it began to rain lightly
and the rate of fumbling in
creased. After a 48-yard punt'0
by the Bearcats' Greg
Parham, the Patriots' fumbl
ed on a confused lateral o&?
their own IS. Henderson ville -
then fumbled twice, but
recovered each time. Finally, .
Danny Moore led by textbook S.
blocking, went over from the
14 to make the score Sft-O; the:
PAT failed.
