Anderson began his baseball career here, playing four years, 1925-28, i wining twenty-five games and losing four. On the side he piled up a very enviable batting average. He also participated in basketball and foot ball, being a member of the quint that won the Southeastern Junior College championship in 1928. “Fuzz” has been in pro ball for four years, having his best season at Greenville, South Carolina, in the old Sally League in 1930, where he piled up eighteen victories. “Fiusz” is twenty-six years old, stands w'ell over six feet, and w'eighs in the neighborhood of 200 pounds.

Next Thurs day 128 lads from all over Western North Carolina will come to decide the question of basketball supremacy for the western part of the state for this season. Many will be getting their first glimpse of college life; many will settle the'issue here as to whether they will go on to college or not. What will be their impression of Mars Hill College? But let’s get back to the ‘subject. Who’s going to win? That’s the question we hear on all sides. That is a hard question to decide when there will be sixteen of the best teams in the western part of the state all fighting for top honors- However, we have been looking over the records of the entries and we have picked out a few 'teams that we think will go well. First, there’s Edney- ville, last year’s champions, who "will be back w'ith a clean season’s record and flashy Bill Wilson. Next comes Glenwood, last year’s runner-up, who have been going great this season. Hudson, Caldwell County kingpins, loom menacingly on the horizon wth a perfect record through the cage campaign, and will be plenty hard to stop. Candler, strong Buncombe County quint, is expected to cause trouble, 'vv’ith West Buncombe, of the same county, boasting a formidable outfit. Crossnore, Avery County big shots, have an impressive record, while Sylva High may be heard from However, all entries are strong and some unmentioned quint may bob up and prove to be the dark horse as did Glenwood last year. At any rate many an exciting tourney ■with many keenly contested tilts is anticipated. men a slight advantage due to their impressive record through the cam paign. Baseball starts Monday—Old man Weather permitting. The Lions piled up their best record In athletics last year in America’s national pastime and from all present indications should have a formidable aggregation this season. It is true that several men of last year's campaign are gone, but there are new men ready to step Into the vacancies. Joe Webb, Pooh- Pooh Goforth, Hot Hendricks, Doc Stroup, and Fred Cockrell are among those missing, but on the other hand Paul Briggs, Albritton, Dale, Leeper, Coffey, Ramsey, and Jarvis, letter- men, are back in addition to several promising squadmen and new mater ial. * * * * Jack Dempsey, the old Manassa Mauler, hit a snag in his comeback attempt when he stacked up against Kingfish Livinsky, the Chicago fish peddler, in a four round exhibition bout in Chicago Thursday night. Kingfish gave the old master blow for blow and threw in a couple of wild swings for good measure. There was no official decision, but ^ of the sport scribes gave Livinsky the edge, and established the Kingfish as one of the most popular favorites of the day. It looks like the curtain for Jack, but as for Livinsky—^keep your eye on him. he ^^^ll try-out with. MOORE HEADS EU SOCIETY many unusual facts about them. A most interesting life of Washington was read by Mary Prevost. A lonely romance, “When Martha and George Returned,” by Mignion Lott, was di rected by Beatrice Johnson.

The next number was an inter esting one by Ruth Keller, Char acteristics of Washington.” The con cluding number -was a reading en titled “Washington,” read by Lily Bennett. % >N 4s When this goes to press the Lions will yet have two tilts to play. If they win at least one of them Coach Roberts has promised to take them to the Southeastern Junior College Tournament to be held at Newport Tenn., on March 4-5. Surely they will cop one of them and by the time this is printed they should be putting on the finishing touches to their form in preparation to invading Newport. We have the confidence to believe that the Lions will come through and go on to the tourney, where they should give a good account of them- elves. * * * * The play-off for intramural supre macy will come off the first three nights of next week with the two class teams hooking up in a two-games-out of-three affair.

The play was under the ex cellent supervision of Pearl Howell. The second play was also a comedy, entitled “That Awful Letter,” It showed the amusing attempts of a girl from the country to take the “airs” from a city cousin. The char acters were: Margaret Neilson, a snobbish city girl, Sara Anne Corpen- ing; Beth Norton her cousin from the country. Hazel Herndon; Helen Montgomery, a friend of Margaret’s, Mildred DeWeese; Edith Browning, a society girl. Ruby Hayes; Nora, the maid. Ruth Cates. The play was dir ected by Flora Huffman. The plays were notable in that they were directed by students, and in that they were enacted largely by first- year expression students. They were well attended by a large audience. The expression department -was pleased by the reception accorded the public performance, and hopes to pre sent other plays in the future. WELCOME! Contestants of the Western N. C.
