When we linst fhink of cheei-ing we immediately and of our team, but let us ro ot '•'h® conventional method back?®’'^® ^ ^ little cheering join/°^’ the spectators. To make a long side -toi’y short, we wish to heartily ats the student body for the ther spi^t they showed at the last nd game when we en- ountered the Wake Forest Fresh- they take it from one who 'Id team that was out t^g’t^ting for victory appreci- down'^^^ might think, np that whole support from the students their best and ahn may lay to that. ^ It seems a bit early to be talking bout baseball, but nevertheless it vhisth here. Any afternoon you may go own lown to the gym and find Coach itainsIcGloet and all his “hope-to-be” ;o haaseball players hard at work, t halost of the training given now is t 'On or the pitchers and catchers, and ■oles elieve you me, when all those niotlut^of-practice pitchers begin cut- oloreing loose at all those out-of-prac- lite ice catchers it is time to seek 1 th^fuge behind the piano or some ssorsther safe spot in the gym. Still, Dwn lot mentioning any names, two or it ee of those pitchers look mighty nd ofomising and will, no doubt, make s good moundsmen. As for the debP^ team, there is not much lusty, “PLAY BALL!” By the way, why couldn’t we have pep meetings for our basket ball team as well as the football team? Why is it that only during the football season we get all worked up in a frenzy over our cheering? We select cheer leaders, pass out mimeographed sheets with oui yells, and then dress up our cheei leaders and gave them mega phones to stand out in front of us to lead, what we call, the or ganized cheering. But then comes basketball and baseball and all this is dropped like a red hot penny. Of course, it is impossible to have cheer leaders and such at our bas ketball games but what’s to keep us from having pep meetings be fore the game? u se ( ) worry about for most of last excf^^'® along with some iin i^PPOsedly mighty good ball play The basketball team just got back from a trip down state as you all know. And to give you some idea as to what cheering means to a team let me tell you of this situation. There we were playing the Carolina Freshmen and the Wake Forest Freshmen with huge crowds of spectators at both places. Who were all these people cheering for? Of course they were cheering for their own teams and who was cheering for our boys? Only yours truly and the five subs were trying to give our team a little encouragement, and against those large crowds we couldn’t even hear ourselves yell. So the next time we have a game here Stepping out of their class for the moment the Lions gave a good account 'of themselves in their showing against the Baby Deacons from Wake Forest the other night. Although the score was more or less decisive we feel safe in say ing that the Lions caused the visi tors plenty of discomfort. The final score was 36 to 27 in favor of the freshmen. An early second half spurt was responsible for the invaders capturing the contest. Un til that time the Lions seemed to be the superior of the two, but the Deacs appeared to awaken in the first few minutes of the sec ond period and as a result bounded into the lead before the game was well under way. The scoring for the Lions was pretty well even with Alexander and Cowan tying for high with 8 each. For the visi tors Captain Sweel played a beautiful game from the stand point of leadership and basket- ringing alike, totaling 10 points, while he was closely trailed by Barnes with 9. Lineups: M. H.

Baseball practice officially be gan Monday, February 1, with a group of about forty candidates reporting for practice. Out of this number only four men, Brantley, Hairis, Hurst, and Hanie, received letters for work with the ’36 team. Inclement weather has pre vented outside work so far, and only pitching and catching prac tice has been allowed inside. Coach O. E. Roberts declined to comment upon the ability of any candidate for any position. He said, how ever, “Considering the fact that nearly all of my men are inex perienced, I expect to produce a fair ball club this year.” The Lions invade South Carolina to open their playing season at Spar tanburg with Textile on April 6. They continue to Columbia on April 7 and 8. The South Caro lina jaunt is to be concluded at Charleston where the Lions play Citadel the following two days.

The game between the Lions and Brevard College ended with the locals in the Lad 37 to 19. During the entire first half both teams seemed flustrated and as a result the basket Avas sel dom rung.

The High School Basketball tournament, starting here Feb ruary 25 and lasting through Sat urday, February 27, is expected to draw a number of high schools from over a large portion of the state. Schools are to be represented from Madisonville and Ne^vton, down east, to Murphy. Sixteen teams are to represent their schools here. Among these will be twelve county champions. These teams, many of which have per formed here previously, are ex pected to offer some Avarm com petition. The games will start at 1 o’clock Thursday, February 25. Eight games will be played that day and eight teams will be eliminated. Pour games will follow on Friday with two Friday night. The finals will be played -off Saturday night between the two undefeated teams. These games have o-ffered thrills and excitement in the past before a packed house and the same is expected this year. The Sylva Cagers captured the crown last year, but only after nip-and-tuck battles. A plan hhs been considered for the arranging of sleeping quar ters for the visiting players. It has been suggested that Mars Hill students may be admitted to all games except the final one by keeping visiting players in their rooms. Coach O. E.
