When the Mountain Lions swing into action against Tusculum, at Greenville, Tennessee, a week from will break a record blackboard practice was substituted. Real scrimmage will most probably le start the end of this week and the beginning of the next. Coach Rob- , erts has not yet made any statement , . as to the matter of positions. This ^ of course cannot be expected sooner ’ than two or three days prior to the first game with Tusculum. From ob servation, it .seenis that his main problem is that of locating a good ■ line from the raw material at hand, with the old linesmen as a nucleus. M A glance at the stiff schedule of ^■| games this season will show that • much is expected of the team. Up until Friday, men out for po- -”f sitions were: Plemmons, Baber, An- derson, Cammitz, Sprinkle, Buckner, 'fl- Chiles, Gibbs, A. Albritton, Felmet, Lingerfelt, Harrell, Stroupe, Webb, nd Reece, McCler, Greeter, Buck, Bar- ihjton. Hood, Burnette, Osborne, Hen dricks, Dale, J. Albritton, Robinson, C. Roberts, Simpson, Campbell, Gra- 1,13 ham, Briggs, Nash, Corder, Brown, Suttle, and Kearns. The authentic schedule for the .^year follows: Mars Hill vs. Tusculum, Green- ville, Tenn., September 28. Mars Hill vs. Milligan at JoTinson __(City, Tenn., October 5. Mars Hill vs. Boiling Springs, here, October 12. Mars Hill vs. Tennessee Wesleyan at Athens, Tenn., October 19. Mars Hill vs. Carson-Newman at Jefferson City, Tenn., October 26. Mars Hill vs. Lenoir-Rhyne at Hickory, November 2. Mars Hill vs. Tennessee Teachers at Johnson City, Tenn., November 8. Mars Hill vs. Bluefield at Bluefield, W-. Va., November 16. Mars Hill vs. Oak Ridge, here, November 23. Mars Hill vs. Rutherford (pend- E ing), here, November 28. K With this ambitious schedule in ^ mind the Mountain Lions will have a hard job taking the measure of the majority of these opponents. The Lions are a rambling team this year, ^’’®playing in Tennessee five times. West lity.Virginia once and in North Carolina ra-only four times, three at home and , ojonce at Hickory. The co-operation of oid.the students is solicited to help sup- ^port the team in a way that will .’ause them to appreciate the support teer:,f student body, ture a habit of upsetting the dope bucket at exactly the wrong time. State and Davidson are in the running but do not seem to have the teams of other years. It’s my opinion that the Southern Conference flag will fly at the Uni versity of Alabama this year! Wal lace Wade’s Crimson Tide has about had time to reach another wave and there is due to be a big time stirring in those parts. ?? :>?! «sc: gaging Catawba College in the open ing fray. This year the two schedules did not jibe and as a consequence the Tusculum eleven gained the opening date. Catawba and Mars Hill were long rivals on the gridiron and in the many years of play the Indians were unable to score a touchdown on the rambling Lions. Last year they start ed the season with a twelve-nothing win over the Indians. We wish Ca tawba better luck with their dpening opponents this year. When Carson-Newman meets the Mars Hill eleven on their own grid iron they will meet an old teammate who has returned to his original stamping ground. Carl Baber, go- liathian guard, will be at his old post on the Mars Hill line against his teammates of last year. Nor will that be all, for if Kearns, new addition to the squad, makes the grade. Oak Ridge will face one of its own war riors in the opposing line-up. m Unless football fans walk to Mil ligan and Tusculum they will not get to see the Lions in action until Octo ber 12, when the Boiling Springs team again invades their lair. By that time a good line should be had on the team and a more accurate forecast of the season can be had. By the way, the Milligan clash, al ways second on the schedule, will be again held under the floodlights at the Buffaloes’ home prairie. Last year a huge crowd witnessed the game, one of the first night games held in the South, and a large crowd of Mars Hillians made the journey. It is rumored that another convoca tion will want to make the trip this year and if the powers that be will give their consent the college will be again well represented at the clash, f With the elimination of Belmont Abbey from the schedule it is ru mored that the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears will take their place. If so the con test will be held in Hickory. These Bears are ancient rivals in basket ball and baseball, and it is only fit ting that they meet again on the gridiron.

Yo-Yos! Yo-Yoers Y o-Y oing! cake eating contests, so why not have a Yo-Yoing contest? This would create a lot of interest and all the while would afford much excitement. Let’s all think about a contest of this kind. Why not? It seems that the fad of wearing brightly colored caps has gone, but with the fad bf wearing brightly col ored suspenders has come the Yo-Yo. They were brought into town; the Yo-Yoers bought them, and now Yo- Yoing has taken the campus by storm. Emily had been to school for the first time. “Well, honey,” asked her mother when she returned, “what did you learn?” “Nuffin’,” sighed Emily. “I’ve got to go back tomorrow.” Yo-Yos? Yes, that’s what those small, round, red, blue, yellow, and orange objects are. At a distance it looks as though the Yo-Yoer must have some magnetic power about him—or her. The Yo-Yo will leave the hand drop about fifteen inches, then come back, but on close obser vation it is noticed that a string is attached to it and by some means (I haven’t learned the mechanical terms) goes down then comes back up. Yes, they’'re all doing it. The boys are in the lead, some of the girls are taking up the fad, and actually some of the faculty have been known to try Yo-Yoing! Well, anyway, it is a mere fad that has caused some lit tle comment, amusement, and valua ble time spent. There are all kinds of contests, 1 readers’ contests, walking contests.

With a weakened line and a backfield that will miss father Lumpkin, the Golden Tornado does not have the pre-sea- son strength that was forecast for it last year; however, when the whistle blows the old Rambling Wrecks will be on the field in full force and you can lay to that. It The Dukesters, or Millionaires, seem to be all set for a great season. When such stars as Jankoski and Buie lose their positions to young sters there is a team in the offing. When they trot on the gridiron against Pittsburgh they will have a chance to exhibit some of that stuff, for Pittsburgh is plenty good this year and will make a bid toward the mythical national championship.
