THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, N. C. PAGE THREE PIGSKIN PICKS SPORTS 'Wars Hill Is Nosed e, Out by Boiling Springs Grid Eleven Field Goa! in Last Minute of Play Gains 16-14 Win. Canned Cherries BY A CHERRY A Column of Sports Chatter. A glance at the upsets in the South ern conference last week will con vince almost any writer that to pick ; a team is almost impossible. Take, for instance. North Carolina. She was conceded an outside chance at the be- Boiling Springs game. A little too much confidence, a little too much luck at the beginning of the game, a little too much ragged interference and rotten tackling spelled defeat for the Hilltoppers. The season’s out- I look is awful from what I can see. There must be a reason, but we seem not to be able to hit a stride. This week, however, promises some changes and some improvements, and A Column of Sports Chatter. Well, it seems that the jinx is still with us, unless we turn the tide on Wesleyan. Although the team seems to be much better this year than last. Playing before a large crowd, in- we have lost all three games.

In the second quarter Boney in tercepts a pass and runs to the 45- yard line before he is downed. Boney then smashes the line and goes off right tackle for a sensational run, being downed on the 3-yard line. Chetty then bucks the line for the first score for B. S. Cecil fails to kick tingoal. Mars Hill receives. Camnitz carries the ball to the 45-yard line, where he fumbles, Cecil recovering the ball for B. S. After a pass to Boney and a penalty inflicted on the M. H. eleven, Stroud hits the line and carries the oall to the 5-yard line where Boney carries it over. Cecil drop-kicks the goal. The ball was in midfield at the half. The third period found M. H. play ing a defensive game. Neither team ivas gaining much through the line. . OjS- S. managed to bring the ball down to the 20-yard line, but here the ^j^ions held and Camnitz punted out ;)f danger. Camnitz was outpunting Stroud by an average of 12 yards. Reese, former Mars Hill High player, is playing an excellent punt ing and passing game. Gene and Cam together have done most of the boot ing this season. S - Whatever may turn up. Mother Millstead is certainly doing more than her part in promoting a bigger school spirit. It was she who was respon sible for the brightly colored caps last Saturday. Thanks, Mother, we appreciate your interest. m Gathering from comments along the sideline last Saturday from for mer Mars Hill students. Dean Plem- mons played one of the best offensive games of his career here. Wherever there was a gap, “Penrod” was right there. It is not a question of fight ing and of trying. Barring sev eral minutes in the last game, it seems to be a matter of being outclassed by bigger, better teams. We should have beat Tus- culum, we should have beat Mil ligan. In each instance the of fense failed to click until too late. The drive is there but to get it out at the right time seems to be the trouble. Once the Lions get their offense to working when it should and as it should and get their defense up to what they are capable of, then the prospects will lighten, but unless they do ce Boiling Springs was the big team that was going to beat us 40 points last Saturday, but seems that the pro- The Biling Springs ■ phecy was a little too optimistic to be true. Compare 2 to 40, if you choose and if they are equal, I throw away my crown as a mathematician. m Mars Hill College has recently add ed to its coaching staff the masterful Coach P. C. Hundley. Coach Hundley is to give private lessons to all four letter men who have not yet learned the method of efficient yo-yoing. II To one observing the tennis courts nowadays, it seems that some kind of championship must be in process every day. Probably, it is the long- delayed tennis tournament we have heard so much about. It won’t be long now until basket ball season. This year Mars Hill will have a great variety of high schools in the state to pick a team from.

Another great battle will be ! ^^e the Lions from that letharp staged on the western front when | has been holding them and make Tennessee and Alabama clash. These,fight even harder for the next two great teams are almost sure to eliminate one of each other and thus will give somebody another break. In the Eastern section North Carolina and Georgia will have it out. Geor gia, who was distinctly regarded as a set-up for any strong team, suddenly stepped out and licked Yale and flashed a real offense, and the game will really be good. At Atlanta Tech will try to take a fall out of Florida; and if they succeed, that will mean that both of them will almost be out of the running. Whatever happens, this wek-end should provide three of the greatest clashes in the South and in the nation. 0 The mighty has fallen! Geor gia no longer rules the roost in national football. It was only natural that Tech would lose eventually, but no one expected the Tar Heels to be the ones to so decisively lick the champs. Those Tar Heels have a wonder ful team of fast backs and a powerful line. Atkins and Far ris are wonderful linesmen and of course the backs are good. 0 Johnny Branch included that boy Rip Slusser as one sweet ball player. Injected as a substitute in the Tech game Friday he was all over the field. He stopped passes, passed, received, and ran in a versatile manner. Time and again he broke up Tech plays, and on offense carried the ball for sub stantial gains. Magner was another who fought like a tiger as the great blue and white eleven swept from a seven-point handicap to win over the Jackets. 0 Thomason is good. He is an all-American if there ever was one. Not only is his playing ver satile and scintillating, but the very steadiness of it ranks him as a great player. Stumpy play ed his heart out at Grant Field in the N. C. game, but a win was not in the books for the Torna do. They bowed to superior abil ity and superior teamwork. 0 The Yale upset was not only an ^ ♦> ♦> •’.V *4* ♦> * • if I Style, j Quality, | ♦V Value I .
