That same Earle Watson developed into a mighty good player before he left the Hill, as many a good team can testify. Canned Cherries By a Cherry A COLUMN OF SPORTS CHATTER From all internal and external ap pearances, Mars Hill is scheduled to beat Biltmore today. Although Bilt more has a heavier line. Mars Hill has the experience in plays and in the backfield. However it turns out the students will be down there back ing up the team just as they did against Boiling Springs. It certainly is a treat to the eyes to see that a Mars Hill team did crash the national limelight, even if it was just for a comical writeup in Collier’s. Whatever fun the author may poke at Earle Watson, backfield man at that time, for requesting the Mary ville team not to bring any more runs over him, he must hand it to Watson that at least one Mars Hill player had stamina enough to play the whole game. That was back in 1923. Let’s trust that Saturday’s game will prove that the team of 1929 is composed of eleven over grown, full-blooded Earle Watsons. A reporter happened to overhear the conversation between two stu dents last week, right after the Hill tops had arrived. It appeared that the subject of conversation was con cerning the picture on the first page, titled “Solons.” However clear the title was spelled, it did not seem to be exactly understood by these said stu dents. One of them said that prob ably this group in the picture was the newly elected officials of the “M” Club, while the other most emphat ically suggested that those in the group were the water-boys which Coaches Yarborough and Camnitz had appointed to be of assistance to the players on the Mars Hill all-star team. from the Carson-Newman game. An other reason was the excellent pass ing attack which they had. Most of their longest gains were made as a result of completed passes. Anyway, Chiles is back in the line-up and there has been some special drilling the past week in intercepting passes, so we can lay on the fact that there’ll not be another upset like that one. Well, well, well! Just found out that two fellows on the team have actually gotten a little bit of high ambition. These two highly ambi tious lads are Red Robinson and Pres ton Gibbs. They have both decided to become governmental aviators af ter they leave Mars Hill. It would be a mighty fine thing to see certain others on the campus getting a little self ambition also. • I thought it was bad enough to see big, husky football players with a yo yo in their hands, but the other day I nearly passed out when, believe it or not, I saw practically the whole team in the middle of the campus skipping rope. I guess the next step will be a separate playhouse for each player with a “Mama” doll and a baby car riage along with the playhouse. [Editor’s Note: The fruit that has been writing this column is nearly out of hot air, so it has been suggested in order to keep the dormitory supplied with heat, that whenever a gasp of air with a temperature of over 70 de- g^rees passes you on the campus, just give it a fan and send it right in to the Hilltop office in the B. S. U. build ing or catch it in a bag and present it to the writer so that it can be pre served and “canned.”] over ■n’s my sentiments. What do you 1 The Southern conference is anybody’s race, but there are si teams that are well on the in- Kentucky, Tulane and Vandy e leaders now. North Carolina It won’t be long now until the bas ketball court will be the supreme fac tor in Mars Hill sport life. There are exactly five letter men who are back to join this season’s roster. Among them are the two Albritton brothers, guards; Jordon, guard; Buckner for ward, and West ,guard of 1927. Also, there are several men who were on the team last year that will, together with the new material, form a squad which will no doubt prove to be a fast, snappy agg;regation. Including some of last year’s prospects are Plemmons, Fox, Harrell, and Saun ders. We notice from observation at the gym class tournaments that the newcomers on the campus will not be lacking in their share of representa tion. Several of them have already shown themselves to be creditable goal shooters, while others will find positions on the varsity team as guards. We notice that “Snowy” Linger- felt and Bill Harrel are sporting some nice looking sweat shirts around here. It seems to be a matter of con troversy as to where the shirts were derived from. “Snowy” openly de clares that Bill bought them at a carnival, while Bill, who stoutly de nies this, says that “Snowy’' picked them up at a dog show. Although the writer of this column has not inves tigated the matter, he would suggest that before argument is carried any further that Coach Roberts take a careful inventory of the sport goods supply room. Lenoir-Rhyne seemed to have it on us last Saturday. Although they were picked to beat us it wasn’t thought that they would completely shut us out. Probably one of the biggest rea sons they beat us so badly was that Chiles was out with a sprained ankle K-9 KRAGKS Dear Barney: Now that mid-terms are over I can write you without having to think about an exam tomorrow. Well, I don’t know whether I passed all or not. Seems just about as much honor to flunk, as the list of those who flunk seems to get quite as much recogni tion. You see, they are on a very special list; they cannot leave campus, and if they flunk on more than one subject, they are not allowed any so cial privileges—^which are a lot of bosh anyway—if you can’t go! Uh-uh! we did win the Carson- Newman game. From the looks of some of the boys there must have been quite a struggle. But we are for ’em, crippled or not. Several of the students are going away this week-end to Greensbero (a sigh). Wish we all could go. There are over a hundred seniors, but they looked like sixty-five chil dren Saturday night while they were eating stick candy. Who was it that said Jordan was sewing an extra cuff to his pants for fear he would get on the “short list? Have you heard the one about the speaker who looked around in the auditorium and failing to see a clock asked if they did not have one and a student remarked that they did not, but that there was a calendar on the right? We wonder why Mr. Carr was more interested in the newspaper Tuesday than he was in meeting his 10:30 his tory class. Seems that the announcements on the bulletin board are increasing in stead of decreasing, despite the fact that I mentioned it in the last issue. Some of the seniors are thinking seriously about quotations for the Laurel. They are to take the place of the very flattering writeups of former years. In the getting I hope they get them to fit the person and not the occasion. Everybody, nearly, seems to be sat isfied with his or her table. You see, we drew tables last week. We wish something of unusual in terest would happen—^something like winning another ball game. Maybe it will before next issue. Yours truly, Celia Pumphandle. P. S.: Mirandy went away some time ago, and I am her cousin. I heard several sighs of relief when the girls looked at the delinquent list which is posted in the most prom inent place in Spilman — the hall. Sighs of relief? Yes, a few were not on the list! 0 It seems that several of the stu dents made their week-end visits longer than the usual over-night stay. I wonder why? Stronger Than Rope I Style, I I Quality, j Value I ■|! Probably the reason the author of “Lines — Not Rope” in the last is sue refrained from signing his name was that he is greatly chagrined at being classed as a member of the sex which so willingly and easily swal lows the lines that the girls sling out. Shoot lines! Maybe we do, but what else is there to do when topics of con versation not merely wane, but die? If a few lines were handed out to make the boys think they are really more important than they are, I don’t know what would become of them— they’d all probably be afflicted with the used-to-be-so-called inferiority i ^5 complex. Sometimes it becomes neces- '■ sary to shoot them in order to make the boys believe they are really in a class of their own. But is is so screamingly funny to shoot a line and see how the boys swallow it. They all do it! I don’t deny that the girls shoot a line. Some of us may not be aware that we are shooting lines, but in one form or another we all shoot lines. Some are mild lines and some have a stronger term. And don’t you worry yourself. There is no boy, however much he may deny the fact that he shoots a line or is blind to a line when he hears it, but who will swallow one nine times out of ten. Some ropes are strong; others are not so strong; but it’s a funny thing that the lines (not ropes) are strong enough to keep a man believing he is sitting on the window sill of heaven with a smile as broad as a rainbow!
