THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA Page Three BULLDOGS -Take Count at Hands Of Mountain Lions OUTCOME Of Weaver Game TVas First Lion Upset i^ith a spirit that would not be lied, the powerful Lion grid team > ished the Bulldogs of Lees-McRae ■,h a relentless running and passing ack to score a 19 to 7 victory and ;p its junior college slate clean, roughout the tame, the Mars Hill •ward displayed great strength, and frequent intervals Fox utilized the ^s in the opposing line to net the ms lengthy gains. Thrice did the ‘"'^^rs Hillians sweep the enemy be- ’ -e them to register touchdowns over ^ visitor’s defense. In the closing nutes of the game the scrapping lUdog eleven opened its ariel attack d bv a series of short passes tallied ^ir lone score. Receiving the kick from Lees-Mc- .e the Lions immediately began a illiant drive toward the enemy goal s siich was not stopped until it had orlached the 5 yard marker, from lere Rabb tossed a pass to Stroupe le r the first score of the game.

At this point. Nettles start- 1 on an end run reversed his field id with the prettiest running ex- bition of the game went over for Tars Hill’s second touchdown. Fox ‘’^**en gained the bonus on a line buck. ^ At this point, Lees-McRae opened **'^r passing attack and for a few '"’linutes all went well, but just before le half ended Rabb intercepted a iss on his own ten yard line and ran I back to the 45 from where the pac«ons began another drive that de- doped into another serious scoring facgeat before the whistle blew for the df. Neither team threatened in the ?raOird quarter, and although neither am gained a decisive advantage, e Lions held the edge in punting ‘ ’ id in ground-gaining. In the early ■ irt of the fourth quarter, the fire- [o nprks started popping again. Mars ill took Lees-McRae’s punt on her 3 fe#^n 25 yard line. Nettles paved the itriifiy for another touchdown by re viving a long heave for a fifty yard again backing the visitors gainst their own goal. With the 11 on the 15, Fox twisted through e line of scrimmage on an off- faJckle play and eluded the Bulldog jcondaries to cross the goal easily, jx again took a crack at the line |r the extra point but failed to ncture it.

The Tornado staged a rally in the third quarter and by a steady advance, in which vast holes were ripped in the Lion forward wall, succeeded in tallying two touchdowns before the final whistle. The Weaver team from the first showed a com plete reversal of form over their other performancies and from the first kick-off they seemed to have an edge on their ancient rivals. Through out the game, the Tornado consist ently outdistanced the Lions in punt ing, finally taking advantage of a bad kick to score. The first half of the game was an uneventful affair consisting of a mid- field struggle with neither team making a serious scoring threat. The number of firsts and tens scored by each team in the first period was about equal; however, the Weaver team clearly outgained Mars Hill. From the beginning of the second half the Tornado showed itself to be the winning team. Taking the ball on their 46 yard line, where Ford had intercepted a pass. Weaver began a steady hammering at the line, and after two unsuccessful attempts Rob inson took a 16 yard sprint off-tackle to put his team on the 38, from where a pass, Mitchell to Edney, brought the ball to the 13 yard line. In six more smashing line plays with Wen zel, who had been substituted, doing the plunging, the ball was placed across the goal stripe. Prentice’s at tempted place kick failed. At this point Mars Hill opened her air attack and for the remainder of the game staked most of her chances on aerials, Bailey doing the hurling. Fox and Anderson at times made nice gains through the line, and Nettles made several nice sprints around end, but at no time was the Lion’s block ing effective enough to gain a great amount of territory. The bulk of the many passes which Mars Hill at tempted failed te reach their mark; however, one heave, Bailey to Hodges looked like a touchdown play until it was halted deep in enemy territory. In the latter part of the third per iod, Weaver pushed the Lions back to the shadow of their own goal. From here. Nettles got off a bad punt which gave Coach James’s team the ball on Mars Hill’s 20. At this point the Tornado pulled a double reverse play which worked perfectly, and Pren tice rounded the right flank for a sprint that did not end until the Lion safety man brought him down on the 2 yard line. The Mars Hill line gal lantly withstood the onslaught for two plays, but on the third trial Wen zel cracked the line off-guard, and when the pile disentangled itself the oval was across the line. Prentice again attempted a placement, but Hodges came in fast from end to block it. The waning moments of the game found the Mars Hillians fighting hard to complete a pass and score, but Weaver’s defense proved practically impregnable and the game ended 12-0. Weaver’s offense was led by Pren tice and Wenzel. Robinson also ran for some lengthy gains off tackle, while Edney showed great strength defensively. The main strength of the Tornado line lay in the power of Sitton and Powell, big tackles. Two big flank-men. Rhymer and Lyda con stantly upset the Lion’s assault at end. Anderson, Fox, and Nettles showed up well in the Lion backfield, while Stroupe, flank ace featured the In the maelstrom of present-day life, honesty is regarded as an anti quated attribute, which probably only preachers or missionaries should pos sess. The rest of the world’s thought of honesty should be neglected and their ideas unasserted. The Golden Rule seems to have a new interpre tation: “Do others before you would have them do you.’’ “Putting one over on the other fellow’’ is the poli cy, which seems to obtain today. Hardly a profession or business today is immune to the permeating contagion of dishonesty existing from the highest official to the lowest em ployee. If Diogenes of old were here today, he would not need to be asked for what he was looking with a light ed lamp in the day time. One could easily perceive that he was searching for an honest man. Plutarch once said, “The very spring and root of honesty and vir tue lie in the felicity of lighting on good education.” This type of educa tion is offered to the students of Mars Hill. But the fact still remains that even though the school offers this so-called “good education,” the student must be honest with himself before he is capable of receiving the greatest number of benefits from the institution. This means refraining from betraying a trust or a friend. It calls for the acquisition of will power to refrain from cheating at all times in all activities. It means be ing frank and true and straight for ward in dealings with fellow stu dents. The acquirements of campus cheerfulness is an incentive to be honest with yourself and the people with whom you come in contact. Still another stimulus to honesty is unsel fish service. As one man has stated, “The truly honest man does not con cern himself with what he gleans from society, but rather what he con tributes to humanity.” The Wright SLANT On Sports By BILLY WRIGHT According to the law of some thing of other, every good team must lose a game at some time and the Lion gridmen are no law-breakers. We were cleanly licked, but still we feel that if Mars Hill had the Weaver to play over, the outcome would be different. I’m not one to make alibis, bus per haps a few excuses won’t hurt much. In the first place, it seems that the Asheville Memorial Stadium, through out the ages, has been a perennial jinx for Lion grid teams. Any Mars Hill sport fan will attest the fact that the Lions just aren’t at their best on Asheville sod. Then too our team was in a somewhat crippled condition. Rabb and Bailey, two of our best backs (and the two most important men on the hurling end of the Lion ariel attack,) were just recovering from severe injury sustained in the Lees-McRae game. “Snak^” Davis, ace pivotman, injured a shoulder that kept him out of half of the game. Excuse 3—^The Lions had been under a severe strain for several weeks, and this proved quite a handicap. So much for excuses. And now let’s just stop beating around the shubbery, and come down to this fact—the Weaver line did something that none of us thought it On Other Campuses Of the 312 students who graduated at the 1933 Commencement, 188 have secured pcsiticns, or ^ad’jate appointments, through the assistance of Winthrop’s Appointment Bureau, according to Mr. R. H. Jones, ap pointment secretary. Five of the 1933 seniors stated that they did not desire work, and 8 have married. Of the 1933 class. 111 or 35 percent, are still without appointments, but the Bureau assisted several hundred Win- throp Alumnae.—The Johnsonian. could do—it outcharged our line and at times made us look sick. And no team is worth a continental two.cent piece if it hasn’t a forward wall of steel. The backs are the shining stars on a football eleven, and important they are too. But while the casual observer and the gp’andstand athlete remark on the fact that Oswald Zilch can certainly run daintily with the pig skin, he fails to take cognizance of interference that is paving the way for the man carrying the ball; he doesn’t see the powerful forward wall, hammering out gaps in the opposing wall, doing it gloriously just for sheer joy of feeling that it is doing its part. Such is the real spirit of foot ball. And speaking of doing one’s part, let’s donate just a little space here to the Mars Hill spirit. To be frank with you, I didn’t see much of it last year, but I’ll tell you like a friend, I’ve seen is this year in a big way. A team cannot help but love the student body that hacks them heartily to the last whistle and stands up for them to the last man, win or lose. I rather think that Mr. King has had a lot to do with this. Mr. King, here’s a hand, (’came a thundering burst of applause.) Just remember, team. Mars Hill is pulling for you with all their might to “surpass” Wingate and bring home • that title.

The Mars Hill eleven was somewhat weakened by injuries Rabb and Bailey were hampered by old wounds, and Davis, star center, was withdrawn from the game'on ac count of an injury in his shoulder. This defeat somewhat dimmed Mars Hill’s record since it was the initial spot on an otherwise clean slate; however, the Lions still stand a fav orable chance to win the title. The Line-ups: Weaver (12) Pos. Mars Hill (0) Lyda Stroupe Sitton .LT Ammons Rich LG Vincent Ford C Daifis For the first time in the history of Mars Hill College a boxing match was held m MoGbnneii iiymnaSluifi on the night of November 2. The fight was well attended, and the au dience of about two hundred boys showed great enthusiasm in the fistic activities as the various combatants “mixed it up.” There were six even ly matched bouts, and each bout was hotly contested. The boxers were afforded a handily improvised ring which had been rigged up in the center of the gym. The bouts were conducted under the management of John Washburn and refereed by Edgar Kirk. The judges for this fray were Cecil Mack and Charlie Martin, both experienced pugilists. As a delightful climax to the evening’s pugilistic activities, the two judges put on the gloves, and in a two round, non-decision bout they gave the audience a real exhibition of boxing. On the regular program, each bout consisted of three one and a half minute rounds with a minute’s rest between rounds. Results 1st. bout—Keller—130 lbs. vs. Freeman—127 lbs. Decision won by Keller. 2nd. bout—^Crews—115 lbs. Land—120 lbs. Decision won Crews. 3rd. bout—Padgett—140 lbs. Martin—134 lbs. A draw. 4th. bout—Parham—127 lbs. LOOK! vs. by “May our eyes be no keener when we look upon the faults of others than when we survey our own.” Thus speaks the philosopher. How often we might act more wisely, if we paused for a second in philosophical medita tion before we utter the unpleasant things we may read in others. How many wounded feelings, how many broken hearts, how many shattered friendships might be saved! It is sim ply human nature that leads man to “put his neighbor’s faults in a bag, which he keeps hanging before him, and to store his own in another which he keeps behind him.” But to keep the trend of civilization ever moving forward, petty things of human ex istence must be thrust behind. Consider the successful man. What is the secret of his success? Prepara tion for his task and application of himself to the accomplishment of his purpose. True, but to this he added a constant self-criticism, not belit tling fault-finding, for that leads in evitably to a fatal feeling of infer iority, but rather a deep, surveying criticism of his personal mistakes, and as his keen eyes surveyed his own faults, he sought to make them right—truly, the key to success. Let us look to our own faults. —Lillian Whitehurst. vs. vs. Cox—129 lbs. Decision won by Par ham. 5th. bout—^Mack—150 lbs. vs. Martin—170 lbs.
