THE LOWDOWN ON HIGHER SPORTS ;By FRANK WATSOP* America’s favorite sport will soon make its debut at Mars Hill for this year when Coach Roberts whips his baseball nine into shape for the com ing season. The Mountain Lions This new sport on Mars Hill’s roster is expected to create a good deal of interest among the student’s and fans. Last year the Lions entered two meets and made a mighty good showing. The should see a crack team on the field , trackmen are entered in the Y. M Lions Bow In First Game Of State Event since they will have the support of five lettermen from last year together with a group of promising freshmen. Dud Rabb, hurler from last year’s aggregation, will probably see a good deal of action on the mound this sea son since only one other pitcher has reported for the tryouts. Walt Rabb, short-stop, Roberts, second baseman, Fox and Jones, outfielders, complete the roster of old “M” men. Swann, ace chucker, from Mars Hill High, Nettles, football and basketball star of this year, and Tuttle, member of 1932 squad, will also make bids for the diamond team. The departure of basketball left the Lions with a pretty neat record, but if Coach Roberts’ hopes are fulfilled Mars Hill should have one of the best teams in the state next season. Out of the squad this year six or seven lettermen are planning to return and make bids next season. These will be aided by quite a few flashy boys who showed up in the high school tournament. 0 Coach Roberts has issued a call for all men, who have any track ability, to .report for this year’s cinder team. C. A. meet in Asheville and several meets expected to be registered with Asheville School and other teams of western North Carolina. Several promising tennis play ers from last year and some good freshmen prospects have enrolled with Coach Wood for a chance on the Mars Hill tennis crew. The Lion racquet swingers went undefeated last season and laid claim to the junior college tennis title. Among those reporting this season are: Wilkins, Burnett, Wall, and Stroupe from last sea. son’s squad together with Ste phenson, Bunker, and Burnett, freshmen aspirants for tennis fame.

Coach Roberts’ five jumped to an early lead over the Boiling Springs team, and at the end of the first half were easily leading with a tally of 17 to 10.

West Buncombe’s “dark horse” bas ketball quint shoved all contenders aside and swept away honors in Mars Hill’s Eighth Annual High School Tournament. The Buncombe county boys, w”ho were ceded fourth place in the tourney, played supei’-basketball at certain periods when opponents held threatening scores, but during most of the contests played a smooth, slow game. Mars Hill in Finals Coach Cathey’s Buncombe had a good deal of trouble ini disposing of the Mars Hill aggregation in the fi nal battle. In the first game of the championship play the two teams fought on even terms throughout the fray and on through four extra per iods. When the score was tied at 19- 19 after the fourth period, the officials decided to play the game off the next Monday night.
