LOOKING IN ON THE LIONS BY ORVILLE CAMPBELL • (This column, horn with this issue of THE HILLTOP, will give results of interviews with outstanding ath letes of the campus.) With the 1937 season a thing of the past, and the new year ahead of us, we sincerely wish that Mars Hill -will be 100 per cent in victories this year, but at the same time we crave for them a red-let ter year in good sportsmanship. At most colleges today, sports are based upon the money that can be made instead of teaching the boys who take part in them the high ideals of clean living. We are thankful that this is not Mars Hill policy. This college has always stood for clean physical directorship. The fact that the leadership of sports at our school is in the hands of capable men should make each member of our student body proud of our coaches. These men realize that sports teach men more than merely winning. They are devoting their lives to the devel opment of character in young men through athletic leadership. Our basketball team this year has really proven to us that they are true sportsmen. Although they have not won as many games this year as in the past, they have of fered no alibis for their defeats and each member of the team has given his best. The basketball team is setting an excellent exam ple of good sportsmanship and may the rest of our sports this year follow in its footsteps. With no center jump in basket ball this year, the game is faster than it ever has been. All over the country this new ruling is causing much discussion. There are many coaches who are for it, but I believe you will find more who are against it. I believe that this new ruling makes the game entirely too fast. It is very hard for five men to play the game for four quarters and play it as it should be. Gradually the game be comes very slow and new men must go in. If a team does not have good reserve strength they will be completely out of luck. Looking over former alumni who are making good at other schools in various sports we find George Wirtz and Jim Cowan who have gained recognition for them selves in Big Five circles. Wirtz, of Wake Forest, was one of the outstanding football play ers in the Big Five during the past season. He scored the two touchdowns that beat Davidson in the final game played by Wake Forest this year. He starred in every game and won much praise from all of the coaches in the Big Five. At the close of the 1937 season, he was elected to captain the ’38 team. Cowan, who is better known to his friends as “Footsie,” is mak ing a name for himself at David son. He has scored 74 points in the first six basketball games played by the Davidson boys this year. According to Coach Walter Skidmore, of Carolina, Davidson has one of the best teams in the state this year and he gave much of the credit for their success to Jim. C. team at Asheville and lost the score of 39-24. Although r new I ickle 4 wet. an. 22—Textile J. C., there, an. 25—Blue Ridge vs. “B,’’ here. Vice ^**' —Tenn.

The boys have done everything from boxing to playing hockey. Graham Morrison has taken the part of a clown, and his tactics have brought laugh after laugh. This year’s team is one of the best in the history of the school and several boys will be awarded letters. This is one of the hardest letters in the school to earn, for out of about thirty who were on the team last year, only five won letters.

The team this year will have only four lettermen to bolster it. Around these four. Captain Gene Alexander, Brantley, Ray, and Hough we must base our hopes of a winning team. Two other old men. Peek and Kellner, will be counted on a great deal in the coming games. In addition to these veterans we have several new men who should really go places this year. Among these we find Wil banks, that midget marvel of t f************^-***********,.,.,^ ‘I*® gridiron and also supposed to be a crack basket hawk; “Curley” Charles, spark plug of the Melrose intramural team, and Wilson, a big blonde basket bagger from Shelby who is ex pected to go places this winter. • Coach Dickerson says that the team should be strong defensive ly and will be able to present a fast attack, although they will be handicapped to a certain extent by lack of height. ifi ^ ift The grid season is over. The basketball season is here. Let’s forget football and snow and rain and go to the gym every home game and show these Lion cagers that we really are behind them. (Continued on Page 3) Star 11 Selected By Conference Coaches James Gianokos at guard, and Gene Alexander at fullback, re cently were awarded places on the All-Conference Junior Col lege eleven, which was selected by the coaches of the Carolina Junior College Conference. Coaches voting in the selection were: Johnny Mackorell, Lees- McRae; Oren Roberts, Mars Hill; Arthur Ranson, Brevard; “Tubby” Hand, Presbyterian Junior Col lege; Clarence Stassavich, Camp bell; Porter Shepard, Wingate; and Richard Rice at Boiling Springs. All of these coaches had placed a team in junior college competition and had played one or more games with other junior colleges. The Belmont Abbey Crusaders seemed to have the best team in junior college circles this year. They won every game with the exception of a 13-13 tie with Boil ing Springs at Belmont late in October. Belmont also led in the number to make all-conference team hav ing five of their men on the first team. Other schools than Abbey and Mars Hill who placed men on the all-conference team were Brevard with two members and Campbell and Presbyterian College with one each. Both Gianokos and Alexander played outstanding ball for the Robertmen this year. Gianokos won praise from everyone who saw him play. He was especially good on defense, a deadly tackier and he also blocked several punts during the season. Alexander gave competition plenty of trouble all season. His punts averaged 40 yards for the season. He was one of the Lions’ best ground gainers. In fact, he was one of the best backs in the state this year. Here is a list of the first team: Bradley (Belmont A.), right end; Rhor , (Wingate), right tackle; Gianokos (Mars Hill), right guard; Hicks (Brevard), center; McNeil (P. I. C.), left guard; Bay (Campbell), left tackle; Romanoski (Belmont A.), left end; Hyer (Brevard), left half; Hudasek (Belmont A.), right half; Wilson (Belmont A.), quarterback; Alexander (Mars Hill), fullback. Gianokos Chosen As Best Lion Blocker Having been selected as the best blocker on the Mars Hill foot ball team this year, James Gian okos was recently awarded a foot ball signed by the players and coaches of the football team. The selection of this award was made by the team and the coaches had no part in the voting. Gian okos was one of the outstanding ball players for the Lions this year. He was a star in every game and his outstanding play was largely responsible for the success of the team. He is a well-rounded individual and well liked by all who know him. This is his last year at Mars Hill and he will be greatly missed by the football team of next year.
