The Blacks kept the puck enemy territory throughout the *^^me and were never in danger. The ^^ly casualties were a few bruised ^lins acquired as the result of the ^^ucks coming into sharp contact with ^e participants’ lower limbs. ^ * The game is played with broom- ^cks and a small rubber disc called puck.

The game ! played in four quarters as in a ^ ^sketball game, with rest intervals between. The game was received ith much enthusiasm and looms to ^P^^come a popular sport here. In the first part of the rope skip ing exhibition twelve boys, led by '^^am Justice, went through several ^ "^ain and fancy steps to the enjoy- ®^ent of the onlookers.

The Lions were not out-played; they were out-classed. The Teachers presented a strong smooth running machine that held the Lions in close check throughout the game. Albritton easily turned in the best performance for the Robertsmen. His work in backing up the line was ex ceptionally good. Also in the line, the work of Dale, Coffee, Feimster, and McLendon stood out. Mims and Stephens, second string backs, also turned in neat performances. The chief weakness of the Lion play lay in the flank and tackle positions, and before the next game Coach Roberts is expected to make several shifts in these positions. The Professors scored twice in the second quarter, first on a lateral pass on the eight-yard line, Haskins to Brown to Bailey, and second as the result of an intercepted pass, a for ward pass and a three-yard plunge through tackle by Bailey to score The Schoolmaster’s final tally came in the fourth period when Brown in tercepted a Lion pass in midfield and galloped through entire Blue and Gold team to score.

Stewart. Following this number was a declamation by Albert Beck. The debate query was “Resolved, That State Medicine Should be Es tablished.” The deibaters on the af firmative side were Bruce Ellen and C. C. Laws; on the negative, H. M. Nicholson and George Smith. The decision was* awarded to the nega tive. Broadus Hammond and an im promptu quartet provided the merri ment of the evening. At the conclusion of the program a short message was brought by Mrs. R. A. Wall, a former Nonpareil. The program for September 25 was as follows: Oration, W. W. Reese, “Doing One Thing Well,” declamation.

Blie IKE By S*am xlusfi ce C-II’s STEAL AWAY TO BAILEY The Lions met defeat Saturday at Johnson City in the very opening game. Many will think that this a bad way to start a season, counting suc cess only in the number of games won in score. However, many early sea son defeats result in latter season victories. Had the team been trium phant Saturday they would have re turned confident and cocky to a cer tain degree. It is the custom with most consistently winning teams to suffer a lapse in their morale and to a measure lose their sense of sports manship. As the team lost, however, the defects and imperfections in the mechanism of the team are more keenly realized and more time will be spent in an effort to correct them. The team fought against great odds Saturday. In addition to being up against a four-year college and a more experienced outfit the Lions were outweighed on the average of fifteen pounds to a man. They fought hard and with the exception of a few injuries they came out of the affray unscathed. Feimster, 180-pound guard, suffered a sprained ankle that will keep him out for at least a week. Dale received a leg injury in the se cond quarter that forced him from the game. He was replaced by Low- rance, who rendered a good account of himself in his first appearance for the Blue and Gold. Mims, who went in for Hodges, played most of the game and was knocked out in a pile- up. After a time out, however, he was able to continue. courage to take Coachs hat back to him. NEW FACULTY MEMBERS As the years pass, students come and go from Mars Hill. Many pass each year to another stage of action and upon leaving seek new worlds to conquer. If these students were to again visit the campus, they would encounter many changes. One of the most conspicuous of these would be found in the personnel of the instruc tors who have come to make the Hill their home. Some of these teachers have come here for the first time, while others are returning after an absence of several years, to resume their places of responsibility. Whether a victim of either of these cases these teachers have been ex tended a warm and hearty welcome to our campus. Their coming will be a general asset to the school. In the first place the old teachers will be benefited by having these new in structors to help share the load, caused by the increased number of students. The student body too will experience a wider range of help, authority and friendship. More per sonal contact with the teacher will be the result. Too much emphasis can hardly be given this indispensa ble privilege as it is the prime factor that makes the smaller institutions a universal preference. There is a peculiar significance commanded by any article that is new. The reason is psychological al though the fact is true. In the ma terial sense, we appreciate something more if it is new. May this remind us that it is our duty to appreciate the efforts made for us by our new teachers. T. S. Fun! And heaps of it 1 From the very minute the couples left Spilman porch to the last crossing of the barb wire fences, not a frown appeared on the countenance of any of the party. As the couples slid down from the top to the spring, many funny things happened. Among these things was the losing of three of our most loving couples. If you would like to know who they are, ask “Dad dy” Blackwell to give an account of them. By the spring a fire was kin dled in order that the cooks might prepare the feast. As night sped on its way the pairs trod their weary way back to the Hill. Did you hear Marion Justice got a bid? Did he take it, and how! Pity all the C-II girls couldn’t find a man to pull up Bailey as Martha Stack did. Wonder how “Daddy” Black- well got his date—bet he got a bid. Say, if you want to know a cure for a sprained ankle just ask Deeper. THANKS The girls of Treat Home wish to express their thanks to Mrs. Cornelia Howell Vann for the beautiful hand painted picture she gave to their home. The picture is to be presented to the two girls who maintain the highest average in the cleanliness and general ap pearance of their room for a month. Mrs. Vann, as Miss Howell, was at one time dean of Women in the College. The girls who are here now appreciate the interest she manifests in them. Martha Huggins and Thelma Swanson. Last week both the C-I and C-II classes elected two cheer leaders to conduct the cheering at the games this year. Miss Martha Stack, peppery cheer leader from last year, was chosen along with Charles Alexander to represent the C-II class. Miss Stack will act as the head cheer leader. For the C-I class Miss Agnes Stack and Turner Rogers were selected. The strain of cheering ability seems to run in the Stack family. However, we are confident that they will hold up their end of the cheering and will “stack” up to the measurements of a real cheer leader. On Friday night the new cheer leaders were inaugurated in the first pep meeting of the year. The stu dents turned out well and everything went off in fine order. Saturday morning the cheering squad assembled in front of Spillman and sent the team off to Johnson City with many lusty yells. So far, the students have responded well and it is hoped that they will continue to do so. Those of you who cannot do your bit for the team by being in uniform can certain ly help those who are by getting into the pep section and lifting your voi ces in vocal exhortation to those who are out on the field fighting for the Blue and Gold. >l This year those who attend the games will see something new in the form of a twenty-five piece band. Joe Farmer, talented clarinetist and sax- agitator, will conduct the operations of the band. The difference in the make-up of the band from the college orchestra is in the absence of the vio lins and in the addition of much bass strength. The band will play at all home games and at the two games at the Memorial Stadium in Asheville. Sweaters in the school colors, blue and gold, have been ordered and are expected to add much color to the outfit. You will remember that in the last edition of The Hilltop your sports editor predicted that the Cards would come out on top in the World Series play-off with the Athletics in spite of the fact that most of the sport scribes are casting their lot with the “A’s.” At the time of this writing the Cards are out in front with a two game to one lead over the Mackmen, but by the time this reaches the readers the series will most probably be over. So far the Cards have it on the “A’s” in both pitching and batting. The Red Bird twirlers have allowed the Mack- men only sixteen hits in three games, an average of five and one-third hits per game. On the other hand the Cards have collected thirty hits or an average of ten hits per game from the offerings of the White Elephant pit chers. The veteran Burleigh Grimes and Wild Bill Halahan certainly walk ed off with the honors when they stacked up against Connie Mack's best bets. Grove and Earnshaw, allowing two and three hits respectively. Pep per Martin, colorful Cardinal rookie outfielder, has certainly set the pace for his teammates with his phenom- inal brand of ball playing. Pepper is leading the whole works with a bat ting average of .636, getting seven safeties out of eleven trips to the plaf> ter. He touched Grove for five hits in the seven times that he faced him. If he continues the pace that he has set he will eclipse the all time World Series mark set by Babe Ruth in 1928 against the Cards who estab lished a mark of .625. THE FOURTH ESTATE (This reply from the Brevard News to a questionaire sent out by Mr. Lowrance, father of the business manager of the Hilltop, deserves passing on to all publishers and read ers of newspapers.) Larry McLendon playing in the first football game of his life held down a tackle position throughout the game and most commendably. Prob ably part of Mac’s ability to get in there and cope with the more ex perienced men lies in the fact that for the past two summers he has held down the middleweight championship at C. M. T. C. camp at Fort Bragg. Last Saturday night Randall “Rat” Fowler sneaked out Coach’s new Von Hindenberg hat and wore it down the main drag of Johnson City causing much comment among the fair sex. However, “Rat” hung around town until late trying to muster up enough In the space below please tell me of the changes you have made in your newspaper during the past year so that I may properly record them in the History of the North Carolina Press Association. Changes of own ership, new machinery, and other equipment, births, marriages, deaths, changes in personnel and anything I which might be%f interest in later ! years. Also let me know if there has been a new paper started in your county during the year, or one dis continued. A prompt reply will be appreciated. B. ARP LOWRANCE, Historian, N. C. P. A. No changes, because there has been no change with which to make changes. Still struggling, just like it has been for the past 37 years. Overestimated by its editor and un- denmlued by the community. Con sidered a “good” paper, so long as innocent, lifeless editorials only are published, but all kinds of a son-of- a-gun when the paper takes a stand on any question. Brags on every thing in the community from the banker to the bootblack, until the bank failed and the banker was in- I dieted, then started bragging on the banker-that-is-to-be. Withholds pure, 18-karat, all-wool-and-yard-stories, because some petted son of a promi- j nent family is mixt up in an affair, or flat-chested, cheek-rogued, lip- painted, cigarette-smoking daughter of a leading citizen is in a mess. Rec ords all births, and tells what beauti ful babies are born; writes up all weddings and has the bride reigning belle and the groom a future gover nor; recounts the million deeds of greatness manifested in life when death removes a man who has done nothing but growl and grumble for a quarter of century. Just the same old thing, serving and slaving, lying for love, and to keep out of jail. No, there have been no changes—^and we wouldn’t make them if we could, for this is the life, and the greatest life any man ever lived is publishing a county newspaper. It’s the last stop before Heaven, in spite of all the hell connected with it. (Brevard News) BOB
