Briggs was not out for the first two weeks’ practice, but his ap pearance will greatly strengten the team. The team is composed of almost entirely new men so far. Dale, Webb, Albritton, and Camnitz are the only fixtures, with the rookie positions subject to any change which Coach Roberts should see fit to make. With Briggs’ appearance, Camnitz will most likely be shifted back-to an infield post. This move would greatly strengthen the inner barracks. Coffee and Leeper are two likely candidates for this year’s edition of the M. II. C. team. Both are good fielders and hitters. Coffee being an outfielder and Leeper a third-base- man.

We have listed all we can remember who are now in athletics, and their accom-1 plishments. j Burke Furches, two-letter man at: High Point; now coach of Bakersville * High. “Bill” Dockery, Furman football squad, now coach at Walnut High School. Sam Miller, Freshman baseball at Wake Forest, now at Wake. Henry Furches, letterman at High Point, basketball and football, now at High Point. Dean Plemmons, letterman in foot ball at Lenoir-Rhyne, now in Ashe ville. Carl Baker, letterman in football at Lenoir-Rhyne, now in Gastonia. John Childs, letterman in football at Carson-Newman, now at Carson- Newman. Harry Isenberg, football squad at Furman; no one knows where “Ike” is. Tracy Gaines, now coach at Green Creek High. “Fuzz” Anderson, now with Holly wood, California, as a pitcher. He is making good. Better fellows than these have never gone out from Mars Hill camp us. They gave a lot for the school when they were hero, and the Alma Mater is justly proud of them. PROGRAM OF ANNIVERSARY Exercises Celebrating M.

In the past three years. Mars Hill has engaged Rutherford in six games. The Ramblers have emerged victor ious in four of these contests. Ruth erford College has captured the state title each of these years. Come on. Lions, let’s break the jinx! The Lions have not shown the form expected of them this year. Their fielding is ragged and the necessary batting punch is sadly lacking. The pitching thus far shown has been nothing to go into hysterics about and the players look pretty green. But the boys do have a great spirit, and that counts a lot. However, Coach Roberts will soon iron out these spots and the team will be ready to go. The “M” Club award for the most valuable basketball player, an en graved basketball, goes to Andy Fox. No one could be more deserving than this hard-working center. Andy was the only man to play in fourteen games. The club and school are both proud of the Burnsville lad. The New York Giants offered ‘Hot’ Hendricks a three-year contract. Hen dricks promptly refused, saying he was going to play ball in Florida this year. He said he would rather be known as “Margaret’s Seminole flash” than anything the Giants could dub him. Bradley Taylor heard this. Last reports from the hos pital say the “Seminole Flash” is doing as well as could be expected. G Big “Fuzz” Anderson made a big hit in his debut with the Hollywood club of the Pacific Coast League. “Fuzz” pitched six innings against Detroit and allowed but two hits. “Fuzz” is a former Mars Hill ath lete.

Two Games Already Played The intramural baseball elimina tion series began last Wednesday af ternoon. The A-4 Class succumbed to the superior twirling of “Buzz” Falls, who allowed five scattered hits in his first game. The Bateman ag gregation was unable to collect hits when they meant runs. On the following afternoon the Seniors licked the Freshmen by the tune of 16-7. No superi»r baseball was evident. “Buzz” Falls, working on the mound for the second consec utive day, was pounced on for hits during the seventh inning tl'.at per mitted the Seniors to take a com manding lead over their rivals Falls allowed ten hits, and Wood, for the Seniors, yielded six hits.

ENGLAND WINS PHI-HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE MEDAL Paul Buck Places Second in Annual Contest The Philomathian Literary Society held its annual high school debate contest last Friday evening. Richard England, brother of the immortfd Jasper, won over three other contest ants, to receive the gold medm that is annually presented by the society. Paul Buck placed a close second. The query for debate on this occa sion was: “Resolved, That the U. S. Government Should Recognize the Soviet Government of Russia.” The contestants were: Richard England, Paul Buck, James Lumley, and Theo dore Cutchins. All four speakers presented convincing arguments in contending both sides of the question. The affirmative, composed of Buck and England, gained a 3 - 0 decision over the negative. The rejoinder of England caused much favorable dis cussion by all present. The judges for the contest were college seniors who were members of the Phi Socie ty. The medal will be presented the winner at the Commencement exer cises. EXPERT DRY GLEANING HATS BLOCKED MENDING We Guarantee a Spotless, Odor less Finish on Any Type of Clothing.
