Miss Boswell is planning a tennis tournament in which anyone who knows the racket may enter. It does not matter whether are good, bad, or indifferent, you should try out, and, at any rate, you may learn something more of the game. Ten nis coaching classes will be held on Mondays from one until three o’clock and on Tuesdays from three until four. And then if you are not in terested in tennis. Miss Boswell has planned a full schedule of fall sports which should be at tractive to all. Soccer is the game which you. have been hear ing about in your gym classes, and, when the game is under stood, a soccer contest is to be planned between the classes. A hiking club will be organized, and if “soup line” becomes once more effective it will be good to bs in practice. And there is to be an archery club which will meet on Thursday afternoons from three until four. Of course you will want to learn how to be Cupid’s little helper! The swimming pool is nearing com pletion, and, for those who are interested in Red Cross life sav ing, there will be a class offered. Swimming may be taken as an intramural sport through the fall. So girls, choose the sports in which you are most interested, and, in case you have not decided, try a few. We want to give Miss Boswell a big hand and make our fall term more enjoy able. Here’s power to you! Mars Hill College is proud to have listed among its faculty members a new director of physical education. Miss Louise Boswell. Miss Boswell is a graduate of State Teacher’s col lege, Fredericksburg, Va., where she majored in physical education and took the courses which enable her to manage the infirmary of the college. Before attending the Fredericksburg Teacher’s college, she was enrolled as a student at Virginia Interment,i in Bristol, Va., for one year. She has also had a course in a hospital which fitted her for all forms of prac tical nursing. She is an American Red Cross examiner and has taught swimming to people of all skills. Since coming here. Miss Boswell has made many plans fqr this year concerning the sports which are to be offered. A wide variety of ath letics is to be arranged and much enthusiasm is already noted among the girls.

It is thought that her work here will be a great asset to the physical department, as well as her work in the infirmary. The position of hostess for Spil- man Hall has been most happily filled. Through her association with her father, a pioneer in girls’ schools in the South, and her husband, presi dent of Tennessee Teacher’s College, among the first Southern girls’ schools to grant A. B. degrees, Mrs. George Burnette, of Memphis, Ten nessee, has become well prepared to fill the position she now holds. Her sympathetic understanding has al ready won the hearts of the girls with whom she comes in contact. Miss Sara Young, of Virginia, sec retary to Miss Rutherford and Dean Carr has offices in Spilman Hall. Larry McLendon, graduate of ’32, has recently been elected president of North Carolina 4-H Club. While a student here he participated in nearly all campus activi ties. He played football for 2 years, mak ing the team his first season on the grid iron ; also he received com-! mendation in the fistic field. McLendon was middle - weight boxing champ of Fort Bragg C. M. T. C. in 1930-’31., and amateur mid dle-weight of Western North Caro lina while a student here. Several years ago he was selected as North Carolina’s healthiest boy in the state physical contest. Besides the field of sport Larry held prominent literary positions on the Mars Hill campus. Old man football again makes his debut at Mars Hill when the Lions meet Belmont Abbey in the sea son’s opener. And the prospects are looking mighty good since Coach Roberts has begun to whip his charges into shape. With two let termen strengthing the backfield and four in the forward wall, the Lions should do something on the grid iron this fall. No team can do its best unless boosted from the side line; but with the student body be hind the boys. Mars Hill should see a crack eleven on the field. Weaver’s Golden Tornado and the Mountain Lions mix it up again this year when they play the Armistice d^y classic. This will be the first gridiron contest between the two schools in seven years, and if past games mean anything local fans should see some real fighting and good sportsmanship. Ath letic relations between the two schools were severed seven years ago because of hostility between the fans on the side lines. Last year we played Wea ver in basketball, baseball, and tennis; and this year we want to give them a good, hard-fought, clean game of football. Everybody goes in for some kind of athletics at Mars Hill. While Bv FRANK WATSON the varsity teams are practicing the other boys are working in physical education and instrumental sports. The girls also have their intramural and physical ed teams. This year’s athletic docket is going to be crowd ed with baseball, basketball, tennis, swimming, clock, golf, speedball, and track. This fall Coach Roberts plans to have a tennis and clock golf tournament. The tennis tournament will be held in the near future with the golf tournament coming later in the fall. During the winter months students are busy with varsity and intramural basketball, but this year it will be mixed with intramural swimming meets. The big day of the year comes when the cUpss track meet is held on May 1. All students interested in track may enter the various events, and the class regis tering the largest number of points take the prizes. Intramural baseball is also held during the spring. The league ^ is made up of class, dormi tory, and town teams. The football squad took a good step toward a successful season when they adopted the following training regulations: 1. No use of tobacco. 2. No alcoholic drinks. 3. No profanity on field. 4. A strict diet. 5. Plenty of sleep. 6. No illicit relations. * Change Made In B. Y. P. U. Schedule Nine Games Booked For Coming Season Weaver To Be Played; Four Home Gamest Three Asheville Games, and Two Away Make Up Schedule. Coach Roberts Obtains Degree Coach Oren Roberts has just ob tained his Master’s degree in phys ical education from Peabody Col lege in Nashville, Tehn. Coach Roberts spent the entire summer working towards his degree and at the same time attending a coaching school at Vanderbilt Uni versity. For several years Coach Roberts has been doing summer school work in physical education in an effort to raise the rating of the Physical Education Depart ment of Mars Hill College. The football schedule for Mars Hill college has been made known by Coach Roberts. The docket calls for three home games, three games away, and two games to be played in the Memorial Stadium in Asheville. The feature attraction of the schedule is the game with the Weaver College Tornado to be played in the Memorial Stadium on Armistice day. The two teams used to be keen riv als, but for the past seven years ath letic relations were discontinued. The other game to be played in the stadium is the annual Thanksgiving classic with Biltmore Junior college. The schedule: Oct. 1—'Belmont Abbey (Ashe ville). Oct. 8—Wingate (here). Oct. 15—Rutherford (there). Oct. 22—Asheville School (there). Oct. 29—Appalachian Freshmen (pending) (here). Nov. 5—'Lees-McRae (here). Nov. 11—Weaver (Asheville). Nov. 19—Cullowhee (there). Nov. 26—Biltmore (Asheville). For several years Mars Hill has held an outstanding position in B. Y. P. U. work. She won the state banner last year, and a desire for the continuation of this good work has been expressed by the leaders in the campus Unions. All of the Young Christians on this campus are urged to join one of the local unions and participate in their program of work. Several important changes have taken place this year. One of the most important changes is that in the meeting hour. Until this year the unions met at three o’clock on Sun day afternoon. Many believes that the college can have a bigger and better B. Y. P. U. with the meeting at 6:45 on Sunday evening and that more students will be able to attend the weekly meetings. It leaves Sun day afternoons free for rest and rec reation. Announcing ^ Dr. G.
