ASSISTANT COACH
Meet Appalachian Saturday In
Initial Tilt Of The
Season.
The varying array of football ma
terial that presented itself at the be
ginning of the school term has de-
veloped under the coaching of Rob
erts and Nettles into a very respect-
able team. The varsity line averages
187 lbs. and the varsity ihackfield av
erages 172 lbs. in weight for a very
effective set-up. The reserve line av
erages 180 lbs., and the reserve back-
field averages 170 lbs. with the third
string line averaging 192 lbs., and a
backfield of an average weight of 160
^ lbs. From these figures, it semes
that Coach tRotberts has been blessed
with plenty of weight to work with
and to build a winning team from
this fall.
The squad is made up of 32 men,
coming from all parts of the east aa

t, gast (W. and L.) as umpire. Pope (U.
N. C.) as headlinesman, and Ander-
>son (Mars Hill) as field judge.
The game, which was played after
the Hilltop went to press, was the
first of a 11-game schedule, six of
which are to be played at Mars Hill.
The next home game will be with
I Belmont-Abbey on October 6.

In spite of the loss of Rabb, Fox,
Nettles and other stars of last year.
Coach Oren E. Roiberts is facing one
of the brightest seasons in years.
The return of Davis, veteran cen
ter, the Edwards brothers, varsity
linesman of last year, along with
George Anderson and Jim Huff, both
seeing action last season, brighten
things up in a big way.
In the recent drills and scrimmages
George Wertz, former Princeton,
Ind., athlete, has shown up unusually
well as a ball carrier and is especially
apt at broken field running. The
reports are that Wertz is also a four
letter man. A rare thing in the
sports world.
Johnny Jones, former Newport,
Tenn., star, has proved himself a
backfield man of quality. Punting
■sixty yards with consistency he
seems sure to land a berth on the
team.
Ben Clark, former Mars Hill High
star -has also shown up well in prac
tice. Great things are expected of
him this season.
Carmen Greer, member of Coach
Roberts’ ’31 football team, is back
and is showing up well in the back-
field. Pushing him hard for his posi
tion is Brenton Stines, former Ap
palachian State Teachers College ath
lete. He’s another local boy we are
expecting to see make good.
In the line positions we find Park
er, another Newport High star, offer
ing the veteran Davis competition.
Ogle and Cleveland, the latter a team
mate of Nettles and Wertz are work
ing hard at guard and tackle posi
tions.
Not to be overlooked by any means
are Webster, Tudor, and Sedburry.
These boys are sure to see action.
“Red” Ramsey, local High player,
is pushing the best of them for end
position. Along with “Red” comes
Jim Huff, who has recently developed
into a great blocking end.

And once again, the old -grind of
nine months of hard work for some,
play for others, has started at this
grand and glorious institution. It
was a great day and a good time was
had by all. Verily, those words bring
back fond memories of days gone by,
when—and so, far, far, into the night
—^the bull or hen session goes on.
Finally, after any respectable stu
dents would -be long abed, a member
of the group decides to study or to
write as the case may be—for there
is a decided difference, according to
most of the students that inhabit this
town or this place, as you prefer,
since the reader always has his choice.
“When I get the jitters, I always
want to write,” said one fellow last
night and therewith he sat down and
pecked out the epistle called the
Jitters.
Say, have you noticed how all the
ads in the various big and imi>ortant
advertising magazines have nearly all
(begun to advertise around some phase
of safety? If you haven’t, they have;
and this shows that the National Safe
ty League or Council, whichever it is,
is doing its work in a very different
manner during the last few months.
Very, very effective.
Some personal nominations are:
One of the bravest men in the na
tion—Captain Stevens of the Army
of straitosphere fame.
Coach Lou Little—one of the
greater football coaches ever—^take
a look at his record.
Einstein—one of the most often
misunderstood men in the world. And,
That IS a tonguedwister for you.
One of the friendliest men in this
state—^Gov. J. C. B. E. You know
him.
Believe it or not, kangaroo court
does have some good points, and more
than that, it is a very good training
ground for would-be lawyers. It
shows up a man exactly as he is; it
makes or breaks him. What a test!
And that is from experience of -past
times in the body of serious-faced in
dividuals.
One of the most touching things or
scenes that we have witnessed re
cently—an old negro woman, dressed
entirely in black, trying to cross a
very crowded and busy street in
Charlotte, N. C. Another one—^the
old fellow who roams about uptown
here with two canes, or ralther, two
large sections of heavy sticks of wood,
to guide and support him.
One of the most foolish inventions
that we have ever seen advertised—
some sort of stretchable type, when
linotype machines automatically
make a line of it by themselves.
Do you know just how many trees
grow on the inside of the Circle?
Thought that that one would catch
you. Which direction does the hand
on the sun-dial point? That one
stumped all of you. Smarties!
And until now, we still can’t un
derstand just how such an accident
as the Morro Castle affair could pos
sibly happen in these modern times.
The radio should have been of inval
uable aid, but you see what happened.
If you don’t know, you should find
out.
Oh yeah, before we forget, -did you
know that in the last five years our
Coast Guard has saved over 35,000
lives. In the last 12 months, it has
saved 5,672 lives, and all of this with
only 8,500 men in the service and
with very little equipment except
courage. Bouquets to ithe men who
tramp up and down the beaches to
rescue men from the maw of the rag
ing sea. Wasn’t that last phrase elo
quent? You tell ’em.
Well, that’s all now, so-o-o be good
and be sure and don’t do anything
that we wouldn’t do. We may be
seeing you later. Do you wanta?

BILL NETTLES
Athletic Field Takes
On New Appearance
The Mars Hill athletic field has
taken on a new appearance. During
the summer Coach Ro'berts, with a
band of hardy workers, put some hard
work into the making of one of the
best football fields in western North
Carolina. The entire field is a blank
et of velvety grass—^a great contrast
to the old rocky field used by the
ancient warriors of the past.
Adjacent to the field, work has
been started on a baseball diamond,
cinder track, and other athletics
field with the erection of a stadium
in view where athletes of the future
may display their wares.
With such an excellent field, and
the versatile array of talent being
trained by Roberts and Nettles, Mars
(Hill has the promise of some hard
fought battles this fall.
