MARS HILL IS
DEFEATED BY
OAK RIDGERS
Hard Fighting Lions Lose Bat
tle 31 to 7.
On Saturday, November 15, the
Mountain Lions encountered the
strong Oak Ridge eleven, there, on a
rain-soaked field. The Lions came
put of the fracas on the short end of
a 31-to-7 decision.
Mars Hill kicked off and on the
second play of the game. Captain
Gold snagged a short pass and gal
loped forty yards to the goal. Mars
Hill then received and after two
plays a pass was intercepted by Oak
Ridge’s back who ran back to the 20-
yard line before being downed. P'rom
here Oak Ridge marched over for a
second touchdown.
With the score 13 to 0 in the first
three minutes of play, the rage of
the Lions seemed to rise, and they
fought the Cadets in Oak Ridge ter
ritory the remainder of the half. Af
ter the, first three minutes. Mars Hill
clearly outplayed the Cadets all the
rest of the half. The ball stayed in
Mars Hill’s possession most of the
time,- but the boys were unable to
tally. ’
However, a score should have been
registered but for the referee,, who
blew his whistle too soon when Stroup
who had caught a pass ran across the
goal line. The score at the half was
13 to 0 in favor of the Cadets.
The Lions went back with deter
mined hearts but the breaks were
against them as Oak Ridge scored
immediately after the half opened.
This seemed to take the spirit out of
Roberts’ men, for Oak Ridge soon
pushed over another touchdown and
then another in the final period.
Cummings of the Cadets did some fine
running during the last half to place
the ball in scoring position several
times.
With the score 31 to 0 against
them, the Lions made a determined
drive from their own 20-yard line to
the 60-yard line where Albritton,
who played a brilliant game, snagged
a pass from Stroup and ran for a
touchdown to give Mars Hill 7 points,
the extra try being good.
The main stars for Oak Ridge were
Walton and Cummings; these fine
backs were a constant threat to the
Lions and were responsible for the
majority of the five touchdowns
scored against Mars Hill.
The mainspring and outstanding
star of both sides, however, was this
“grand little man” Dale. The Mars
Hill 145-pound center and steam
roller was in almost every play of
the game, it sems. Time after time
Dale would crash through the line to
smear plays and throw Oak Ridge
backs for losses.
Camnitz’s punts were extra good
for the muddy field, some being good
for 50 and 60 yards. The Mars Hill
quarter also did some nice lugging of
the ball, making many long gains
around the enemy flanks, behind the
excellent blocking of big “Red” Wil
son, who played a fine game for Mars
Hill.
Albritton also played exceptionally
well in the back field. He was a
threat to the Cadets at all times. Once
he returned a kickoff back forty-five
yards, and should have scored but for
slipping up in the mud. Many times
he carried the ball around the oppo
site wings for long gains.
‘M” Club Holds a
Short Meeting I
Club Is Striving for Glory of Mars
Hill College.
Come on, Allen, journalism is
great!
The “M” Club postponed its reg
ular meeting on last Monday, Nov
ember 17, on account bf the lack of
time caused by other special meetings
on the Hill.
They discussed plans, however, for
a social which should take place be
fore Christmas, if possible. Commit
tees were appointed by the president,
Howard Camnitz, for the purpose of
interviewing the executives concern
ing the social.
The “M” Club is striving to be one
of the most accomplished and best
clubs on the Hill this year. The mem
bers are rendering some excellent
programs, and it should be the ambi
tion of every athletic-minded boy to
belong to this club.
Members of this cliib are honored
by the other students, not only for
their ability as athletes, but because
they are giving much of their time
and energy for the glory and honor
of the school.
CAM S COLUMN
of Sports Chatter
Albritton showed his ability to play
both line and backfield in the Oak
Ridge game. After playing a spec
tacular game in the backfield, he was
shifted to end, and played a spark
ling game from the flank position.
* Hi
Little “Brantley” Dale, 143-pouni
center, gave Oak Ridge plenty of
trouble Saturday. Time after time
he broke through the line to throw
Oak Ridge backs for losses. No man
ever before displayed any more fight
ing spirit than did Dale.

The writer is getting into deeper
trouble. In Monday’s mail he re
ceived a letter from “Red” King, for
mer Mars Hill athlete, who took
serious issue over the writer’s state
ment of the superiority of North
Carolina teams over South Carolina
teams. “Red” sent figures to show
that in interstate contests this year
South Carolina had won seven games
and North Carolina five. South Car
olina has scored 135 points to the
Tar Heels’ 61. I certainly can’t ar
gue with statistics; so I will have to
admit my ignorance. However, as a
form of an alibi, I must say I was
thinking of the past more than the
present.

graced a Mars Hill gridiron in years.
Possessing an indomitable fighting
spirit, and having the knack of an
excellent pass receiver, he made an
ideal end. May he make the world as
good a citizen as he has Mars Hill a

“Hot” Hendricks is suffering from
a bad “charley-horse.” As the team
passed through Statesville, they drove
right by the dwelling of a certain
young lady. Andy and “Hot” both
jumped from the fast-moving car
and started racing for the house. In
his efforts first to reach the house
of the young lady, “Hot” suffered a
painful fall; hence the charley-horse.
Andy reached the house first, but no
one was heme.

Received a letter from Patty
Moore. The contents: Dear Mr.
Sports Editor; I don’t think Dale,
Hendricks, or Albritton are such
good football players. They should
see a certain boy that plays for
Statesville High. Yours truly, Patty
Moore. (Editor’s Note: There is a
rival in camp.) So long!
Mars Hill’s fighting Lions redeem
ed themselves and once more broke
into the win column, on Saturday,
Novemiber 22, when they took the
strong Lees-McRae outfit of foot
ballers for a ride to the tune of 14
to 12.
Mars Hill failed to function in the
pinches, else the score would and
should have been much greater in
favor of the Hillians. Five times they
were within Lees-McRae’s ten-yard
stripe, but at these moments they
lacked the punch to score.
Gretter kicked off for Mars Hill to
start the fracars, and immediately the
enemy put the Lions to playing de
fensive football. Their fast set of
backs ripped off much yardage thru
the line to place the ball on the Mars
Hill thirty-yard marker before the
Lions stiffened and took the ball on
downs.
Mars Hill, with Camnitz at the
helm, immediately started a passing
attack which could not be solved by
the opposition, and before the first
quarter had passed, the Lions scorer
when Albritton, who played a fine
game throughout, took a short heave
from Camnnitz for a touchdown.
Camnitz kicked a perfect placement
to run up a 7 to 0 score.
Mars Hill seemed rather over-con
fident as the second quarter started,
and the visitors lost no time in crash
ing over for six points, after carrying
the ball from the middle of the field
to the four-yard line on successive
plays. The try from placement fail
ed, and the score was 7 to 6 in favor
of the locals.
Near the end of the first half, the
Lions started another passing attack
in an effort to score. Camnitz threw
a fifty-yard pass to Albritton to
place the ball on the enemy ten-yard
line, but after an unsuccessful end
run and a futile pass, the half ended.
Second Half
The Lions came back with more de
termination at the opening of the
second half, and about the middle of
the third quarter, Camnitz heaved
another long one to Albritton for an
other touchdown. The quarterback
then threw another pass^to Tilson for
the extra point, and the score 'was
advanced to 14 and 6 in the locals’
behalf.
As the fourth quarter was nearing
completion, the frantic McRae team
took to the air and succeeded in
crossing the local goal once more on
an accurately thrown pass to a wait
ing back, who dashed thirty yards to
tally. The point was missed again,
and the score 14 to 12 was in favor
of Mars Hill, where it remained the
rest of the game.
“Whataman” Albritton performed
brilliantly for Mars Hill. He made
several long dashes around the enemy
flanks, and was the receiver of two
touchdown passes from Camnitz.
“Red” Wilson played his usual
good game, and his blocking was ex
cellent; while Dale played well also,
but was forced from the game on ac
count of injuries. Gretter was also
a power on defense for the locals.
Camnitz, who did not start the
game on account of injuries, went iq
and heaved many accurate passes and
got off some good punts to place him
self in the limelight.
The Fall of Rosser; or.
The Tale of a Tub
By S. M. Justice
No doubt you have heard of the
famed “Fall of ^Rome.” No, but you
thought you heard it when it hit!
Well, folks, let me tell you a story
that is of far greater import than the
celebrated “Fall of Rome.’’ It might
not have been as important or as
gracefully dramatic as Rome’s great
fall, but you can be assured that it
made more noise when it hit. Par
don the “it,” for that really does not
do justice to the subject, which is i jnatter will be gladly satisfi'
“he” and is none other than
with that little dry grin pla;
over his face and said, “Rosa
do you think this is, a Press
tion or a circus?”
Rosser replied by only smi'"®*
gathering himself together, aiDec

fully conquered the bath-tul

lantly ask Rosser what he in|

ability very emphatically re^

own William “Octavius” Rosser.
His chief occupation when he is
not busily engaged going to school,
is traveling for the Che'vrolet Com
pany, making flowery speeches ad
vertising only the goOd points of our
wonderful “new six.”
Now that the subject has been
properly introduced, let us return to
the main thread of the story.
It all happened while Mr. Rosser
was attending the Press convention
In Greenville, S. C. After spending
a most strenuous day of doing noth
ing in particular, “Octavius” decided
to make a flying visit (in the car)
to see a lonesome member of the fair
sex, off in some part of the city. Be
fore doing so, however, it became
necessary for him to make a few
minor alterations and preparations in
order that he might be ready to meet
the onslaught when he arrived.
So he rushed into the home of a
truly hospitable Southern lady, who
had been so kind as to take in three
press delegates out of the cold, and
as he stepped into the bathroom he
found to his surprise and delight a
genuine bath-tub instead of a shower.
(It seemed that Rosser’s two years’
experience with the Mars Hill show
ers had caused him to become unskill
ed in the art of bathing in a bath
tub.) He made a brave attempt,
howe-ver, which turned out to be an
attempt before the episode was over.
Having finished taking his bath,
he stood erect in the tub, all prepar
ed to get out. The audience (con
sisting of B. G. Leonard and the
writer) waited breathlessly to see
what the next step would lead to.
Slowly his body swayed slightly to
the right. His foot came into con
tact with a cake of soap. His feet
ceased to be the normal support of
his body; and in his struggle to reach
a point of stable equilibrium, he
went into several beautiful contor
tions, much to the keen delight of
the spectators. In the interim be
tween the take-off and the landing
the audience stood spellbound, wait
ing to S'-e what the outcome would
be. Finally, he came to rest some five
or six feet away from the tub, with
a crash that was almost enough to
bring down the ceiling. About this
time B. G. Leonard came forward
