Mars Hill Defeats Hiwassee Seven to Six
"dwards, Isenberg, and Suggs Star
Against Aggressive Visitors.
Mars Hill College defeated Hiwassee
iollege, Saturday afternoon, Noven»-
er 13, on the Mars Hill gridiron, T
> 6.
The game was the best ever seen
h the Mars Hill gridiron. Both teamr
tore in first class condition and were
ghting for every inch of ground they
nined. The game was clean througJi-
ut.
Edwards was the most consistent
-Tound gainer of the game. Time aft-
r time his body and flying legs' dis-
•Ppeared in a mass of humanity only
o appear somewhere beyond the line
f scrimmage. Only an undomitable
pint and an iron will carried Edwards
brough the whole game. His plow-
ng the line gained for Mars Hiil a
otal of 112 yards.
Suggs’ kicking wa)s a feature of tne
_rame. Although his punts were not
—IP to t]^e average, he outkicked tne
liwassee back. His kick-offs were
ome of the best ever witnessed on the
Ians Hill field.
Captain Carter was the pep and
laekbone of the team. At all times he
lad a word of encouragement and a
lap on the back for the boys. Cap-
ain Carter keeps the pep and the
hora;.-. of the team to ’.ilghest pitch,
^ell can it be said, "He’s a wonder,
id’s a dream, he’s the capatin of our
earn.”
Isenberg and Tripp wagged the team
veil at quarterback. Without a clear
lead to direct it, no team can make
L showing as our boys did in the Hi-
vassee game.
Joyner played an excellent defensive
ame. His tackling and blocking de-
erve credit. The linemen deserve as
nuch praise as anyone else. They
ipened up holeis for our backs and
[topped the rushes of the other team,
stone and Dockery at tackles ano
3-lasgow and Baber at guards deserve
_All the praise that can be given them.
The ends, Moore, Lanford, and Math-
■wson, deserve equal credit for their
cackling and breaking into the Hi-
ivajssee backfleld.
The Game.
Mars Hill kicked off to Hiwassee
vho made two first downs. Mars Hill
stopped this and started a drive down
ihe field which Hiwassee ,S'topped. The
--greater part of the first quarter was a
“■punting duel between Jones of Hi-
ivassee and “Little Willie’’ of Mars
Hill. The quarter ended with the
score 0-0. The second quarter opened
ivith renewed vigor and pep on the
part of both teams. Mara Hill made
s- steady march to Hiwassec’s B-yara
line where they were abruptly halted.
Hiwassee punted to Mars Hill. Mars
Hill ran two plays and Suggs tried a
place kick which fell short by a few
yards. The half ended 0-0.
_J Hiwassee Scores.
— The third quarter saw both teams
trying to score. The ball was on Mars
Hill’s 40-yard line. Dockett pass'cd to
Jones, directly over center, who raccm
tor a touchdown. Both teams were
°tt side and the point did not count.
This decision was contested later ana
Hiwassee was given a chance to make
the Point after the game. They failea

He sees things from a student’s point
of view, and the students love him. He
ha's grasped the big problem that In
stead of educating the student aw.ay
from the church and Christianity that
the central motivation is to educate
them to and in the church. His com

Saturday night, November 20, at 7
o’clock the Nonpareil Literary Society

thirty-fifth anniversary in the col
lege auditorium.
A large crowd attended the program
which for some time had been looked
forward to with great interest. The
stage was effectively decorated wltii
the Society coloijg which are black
and gold. A large cake having thirty-
five lighted candles gave an annivei-
sary touch.
Mars Hill, represented by Sara Lacj
entered first. Then to the strains of
the Nonpareil Song, played by the Eu
Non orchestra, the president, Mary E.

five members attractively dressed r

Owing to the fact that reservations
had not been made, it 'was purely by
accident that the company wajs admit
ted. While Mr. Canup, the manager
of the trip, was interviewing the pro
prietor, the porter, thinking us the
gioup whom he was waiting for, in
vited. us in. Aftoi' we ■vv'ore in and
comfortably seated, he discovered his
mistake, but it was too late.
When the concert had ended and th^
gentlemen had secured their coats ana ,
hats and sufficiently tipped the porter,
the return trip began.
At eleven o’clock the peaceful slum
bers of the occupants of Spillman and
Rivermont were disturbed by the mel-
ancholj'^ goodnights occasioned by the
approach to "no man’s land.”

DR. JOHNSON’S NEW
BOOK OFF THE PRESS
“Stewardship Vitalized’’ to Have Far-
Reaching’lnfluence Is Opinion.
Mars Hill folk were delighted to find
on the librarian’s desk laE't week an
attractive new book by our own Dr.
Walt N. Johnson. This book, "Stew
ardship Vitalized,” published by the
Sunday School Board, is a beautifully
bound volume of 231 pages and treats
perhaps the most vital problem before
tne people of the South. Dr. W. J.
McGlothlin in his Introduction isays:
“One cannot read these pages withouv
an instinctive feeling that the author
is right . . . This book is one of the
strongest which has yet appeared on
the great theme involved, and should
have a wide reading. Wherever it is
carefully permsied its blessings will be
abundant.”
