Both teams received bad breaks during the first half, when passes that would have meant touchdowns were missed by the ends on both BLUEFIELD TEAM TRAMPLES THE MOUNTAIN LIONS teams. Rutherford showed a very aggres sive team under the lights, but the Mars Hill linemen were playing their best game of the year and stopped every attempt of the enemy to gain over the line. Neither team scored during the first quarter, but at the beginning of the second quarter Mars Hill recover ed a punt on Rutherford’s 40-yard line. On the first play Fox, who play ed a fine game throughout, went around left end, led by beautiful in terference, for a touchdown. The ex tra point was missed. With a six point lead over them, the frantic Rutherford team began a passing attack, but their first pass was intercepted by Gibbs on tire 50- yard line. With six of his team mates leading the way, he ran 37 The cry that rang over Rutherford College’s field was ‘Watch McClese.” This cry was not only a warning to — —^, I watch his stellar playing but to tell yards down the sidelines before he i their players that their lives were in was finally tackled from behind on ^ The Mars Hill Mountain Lions journeyed two hundred or so miles to Bluefield, West Virginia, Friday, October 3, only to be repelled the next evening to the tune of 40 to 0. Bluefield showed one of the best teams the Lions have faced this sea son, and set them back for their third straight defeat. The Lions went into battle much demoralized on account of the ab sence of Coach Roberts, Sprinkle, and Lingerfelt who were called home on account of the death of Mrs. Sprinkle. This shock to the team was responsible for the enormous score. The Lions never threatened, while Bluefield displayed some classy backs who ran well through the Mars Hill defense. MARS HILL LOSES TO SPRINGS TEAM V/ALL PLAYS STELLAR GAME FOR VISITORS. SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY CAM’S COLUMN of Sports Chatter Rutherford’s 13-yard line. On the second down. Fox went off tackle for another touchdown and Mars Hill was in a lead of 12 to 0 as the half ended. At the beginning of the second half, Rutherford began a determined drive to the Mars Hill 3B-yard line whe^e Bumgarner received a pass and dashed across the goal for six points. With the score 12 to 6, Rutherford — anemed to take new life, for at the beginning of the fourth period they intercepted a Mars Hill pass, and on a series of short passes the ball was carried to Mars Hill’s 4-yard lino where it was plunged over after three downs. The extra point was missed and the score was tied 12 to 12. Neither team was able to score af ter this, and the game ended with the ball in Mars Hill’s possession on their 30-yard line. The entire Mars Hill team played well during this game, and showed the most aggressiveness of the year. In the line, McClees, Coffee, Gret- ter, Edwards, Dale, and Albritton were bulwarks and held like stone walls in dangerous territory. In the backfield, Camnitz, Gibbs, and Fox played fine ball. Camnitz and Fox made several long gains danger. Roy was running about the field hitting every man he saw wdth his helmet. The force of the blows was so terrific that one Rambler got his hair messed up. Roy must have thought they were talking about “Era.” 4= 4= 2k There was a remark made at Rutherford College that should not po unnoticed. Thatcher, former Duke star, said that Mars Hill was the best coached team he ever saw. That is quite a compliment for Coach Roberts, and a most deserv ing one. ^ Campbell, Suttle, and Neilson were sorely missed in the Rutheford College game. When two flashy backs and a “human battering ram” are out it surely hurts the team. Let’s all pull for their speedy recovery.

This bunch of Blue Devils outfought and outplayed the The Mountain Lions lost their fourth straight game on the local lot Saturday afternon, October 11. As in all their previous battles, the Lions got the bad breaks at the first of the game. Mars Hill received the kickoff and started a strong offensive drive, but this drive was stopped short near the middle of the field as several accurately thrown passes were missed by the local ends, and Boiling Springs recovered a fumble. 'I'his break seemed to take some of the spi rit out of the locals, for the visiting team crushed the defense for long gains, and finally a touchdown by Wall, quarterback, put them m a six- point lead. Injuries were numerous in the local ranks during the first half. Wilson, fullback, was forced from the game with a fractured shoulder; Suttle, star halfback, who had gained much yard age around the enemy flanks, received a broken arm to further hamper the chances of scoring. Gretter was also forced from the game just before the half ended with the visitors in a 6-0 lead. The second half started with a long drive of the visiting team to the heme goal line for six more points. Mars Hill never threatened serioa.sly during the second half, owing to the loss of three members through inju-- ies and the fine defense put up by Boiling Springs. As the fourth quarter started, “Jew” Campbell, midget half of the locals, received a fractured shoulder also, and was forced out of the game. Wall added three more points by kick ing a field goal in this quarter to run the score to 15 and 0, where it re mained as the final whistle blew. Wall scored all the points for the visitors and was clearly the outstand ing star of the game; while Harris and Boney were good also. Val Edwards anl “Bitter” Suttle were in starring roles for the locals. By the Editor Weeds have been defined as useless or injurious plants. In direct contrast to these parasitical growths are flow ers. A flower has been defined as' a bloom or a blossom. Weeds are not considered beautiful, no matter where they are seen. Flowers are loved and admired, even if they are seen in the densest of swamps. Weeds detract from the beauty of their surround ings; flowers add to it. Weeds are de structive; flowers are constructive. A weed may represent that which is old. flower is youth. When you think of weeds you think of the sin that put them there. When you think of flow ers that sin vanishes into oblivion, and you are left admiring the handi work of God. A weed is the worst part; a flower is the best part. In its broadest sense, a weed was created by the devil; a flower is the creation of God. However, a weed is of some practical value; it makes you put on “steam” enough to trample it down. After all, you appreciate your flowers the more if you have to pull the weeds from around them. Fight the weeds that grow around the flower-bed of your life, and you will appreciate the flowers the more. Better a dead brave man than a live coward.” Prof. J. B. Huff.

So long. it’s On Thursday morning, October 16, near ten o’clock, the students and faculty of Mars Hill College, together with representatives of the town of Mars Hill, hurriedly assembled them selves near the highway which passes through the college campus to await the passing of the International High way Commissioners. Manifestations of curiosity and expectation were pre valent in the group. After a brief wait, the buses, cars, and motorcycles appeared one by one. The appearance of these was greeted by hand-clapping from the groups on the banks of the highway, and music from the college orchestra. Groups of students bear ing flo.wers in their arms, and distri buting apples and chestnuts, which the local merchants had supplied, clus tered around the visitors as they emerged from the buses. There were found to be representatives of thirty- five countries present. It was quite a source of grief to some of the students to find, after they had made their most courteous and dignified speeches, that many of the guests could not converse in Eng lish. The foreign language teachers then took advantage with their su perior knowledge, and some three or feur of them were seen standing at a distance with a complete monopolj^ on the conversation. The stay of the commissioners was brief, but as the dudents resumed the duties of daily routine it was with a feeling that they had been greatly honored. The com missioners in a wire to Mr. Stike- leather afterw-ards stated that the reception given them at Mars Hill College was considered one of the high points of their tour through North Carolina.
