Mars Hill took the initial game Friday by the score of 43-32. The Lions led throughout in a contest that was rough and speedy. “Booger” Whitaker, Fern Lam bert, and Jimmy Joliff were the spearhead of the Lions’ attack; Tom Fite stood out for the Bob cats. Second Game The Bobcats came back fight ing in the second affair and walk ed off with a 44-35 triumph. It was a different quint from the one that faced the Lions the pre vious day. Paced by Harold Hen son and Jay Armbuster, the Lees- McRae boys held a five-point or more advantage the entire game. The Lions, starting fine, could not hit the hoop as well as the day before. Coach Dickerson used his second team quite a bit during the contest. Little David Sams, sub stitute forward, rung the bell six times to lead the Lions with twelve points; Johnny Fari’ar was next with six tallies. In the sec ond contest the “B” Lions eked out a 39-37 win over Asheville School. Chai’les White led the “Little Lions” with seventeen points. Lineups First Game Mars Hill Pos.

In England the pope’s enemy was Henry VIII. The conflict be tween Henry and the pope was over the question of divorce. “The pope would not allow Henry to get a divorce; therefore Henry, exasperated, broke out with the pope and had him executed.” Henry’s daughter who further strengthened the Protestant cause in England was Elizabeth. “She was said to have been a boy, but was a girl and did as a man does.” Turning to France we find re- BASKETBALL COACH Fred Dickerson Students Here Get New Treat There has been a birth on Mars Hill campus, according to an an nouncement made by B. T. U. di rector Bruce Brown in the gen eral assembly last Sunday, Feb ruary 4. Mr. Brown reported the arrival of Treat, Junior, an off spring of Treat B. T. U. The new union has already be gun activities under the leader ship of Cyrus Kreamer, president. The total number of training un ions here is now fifteen. ligious toleration gaining ground in the sixteenth century under Henry IV. His “Edict of Nantes was an edict made at Nantes.” France grew into an absolute monarchy under Louis XIV, an “ambitious and lazy” king. This j king is partly to blame for the j French Revolution. Marie “Anti- j net” was also responsible. She I was very extravagant and helped to make the people discontent. Conditions grew very bad by 1789; “the people were starving and all their spirits were gone.” In this year the “Estates-Gen- eral emerged into the Constituent Convention greatly because of his bold courage and strength.” “It was while the king was at a ten nis tournament that the Estates- General got in and made him sign a paper giving them a constitu tion.” Added to France’s internal troubles was the problem of for eign war. “She went to war with Austria in 1792 because Austria would not admire the beauty of her country.” One of France’s military leaders in this war was “General Marseillaise.” McConnell Gym Used Since 1924 Builrfing Serves Ts Place For Athletic Games, Classes At the north end of our cam pus stands the athletic center of Mars Hill college, McConnell gymnasium. This building was made possible by the generous donations of Mr. W. C. McCon nell. It was erected in 1924, and since that date the rafters have echoed and re-echoed deafening cheers countless times as Mars Hill fought through to victory. At the right of main entrance to the building is found the of fice of the man who directs the athletic activities of the college. Coach Roberts. Inside is found a shining waxed floor, which on Tuesdays and Thursdays is cover ed with the white clad forms of physical education students. Grunts of exertion and moans of pain can be heard as students try to follow the back-breaking exer cise routine of the athletic in structor. On Wednesdays and Fridays the grunts and moans are replaced by cheerful piano melodies as the fair sex of the college practice dainty folk dance steps under the guidance of Miss Sally Allen. On Saturday nights the gallery that encircles the main floor is filled with loyal students—well supplied with lollypops — who gather to watch the Mars Hill Lions devour their foe. In the basement are found the locker room and the swimming pool. Many students have never had the privilege of splashing about in this pool, but the cold weather makes it impossible to keep it in operation. McConnell gymnasium serves a dual purpose. In addition to being able to develop their brawn there, the stu(ients also have the privi lege of developing- their intellect ual powers because the front of the building is devoted to class rooms. In the basement botany and biology students gaze through microscopes at the mysteries of plant and animal life. In the up per stories students wrestle with German, Spanish, and English. Mars Hill college can well af ford to be proud of its gymna sium because it is a great asset to the college, both for recrea tional and athletic purposes. Double Header Is Scheduled Game Between Ace Rivals To Be A Natural; Played Here Coach Fred Dickerson’s quin tet faces the Brevard Tornado to night in the gym in one of the most pointed-to games of the sea son. This is the first engagement of the two rivals this season. Both teams have been playing good ball in the last two weeks. A close and exciting battle is an ticipated when the opening whis tle sounds. It is not known just what line up Coach Christenbury will send against the Lions. Peterson, a veteran, and Roberts have been leading the Brevard team in its late battles. Coach Dickerson will probably start the following men: Farrar and Joliff, guards; Bill McMur ray, center; and Whitaker and Lambert at forwards. This team averages well over six feet and with their height and aggressive ness should give the Tornado a real tussle. In a preliminary contest the Mars Hill “Bees” will face the Brevard “Bees.” This game will begin at 7:30 o’clock. ** Knock-Kneed” BIG FIVE FLASHES So saying Little Red Riding Hood takes out her “tommy gun” from the violin case and riddles her grandmother. Then she non chalantly lights a marijuana cigar ette and drives off singing “Two Sleepy People.” The White Phantoms of the University of North Carolina are setting a terrific pace in the bas ketball race in the Tar Heel state. Towering George Glenmack and little Jimmy Howard have been most of the offense for Carolina this year. Only twice have the Tar Heels been held below fifty points in a single game. Glenn Price and Chuck Holley, veterans from last year’s “never- a-dull-moment” boys at Duke, are again leading the Blue Devils. The Dukesters have made several suc cessful invasions of the east this season. One of the highlights of their season thus far was the vic tory over Princeton at the dedi cation of their handsome new gym. At Wake Forest, the Deacons are having a better than fair sea son. Coach Murray Greason found a bright spot in Herb Cline, sopho more forward, who has wox’ked great with veteran Vince Convery. The Davidson Wildcats and the N. C. State Wolves have found the sledding tough at times. State’s Bill Cromartie has proved himself a great threat to all op ponents. Thus far the Wolves have had a very unsuccessful season. The Wildcats have shone flashes of brilliance against many oppo nents, especially teams of the North State conference. Captain Jim “Footsie” Cowan, former Mars Hill athlete, has been the greatest player for Davidson. In a game against Citadel last Sat urday, he scored 31 points to top all previous scoring in the David son gymnasium. The teams of the Big Five are on the home stretch and will turn on the heat in preparation for the Southern conference to be held in Raleigh in March. By IMOGENE BROWN My knees are loudly knocking; So I needs must kneel to pray. For I haven’t said or done the things I planned to do today. My intention was to rise on time In order that I should Have a full and happy day To spend in being sweet and good. But the rising bell failed to awake me; So I dressed in a whirlwind of flurry; Then I mashed my hand in the room door As I slammed it in a hurry. I fell down the dormitory steps; I ruined my last pair of hose. My knee was skinned and sore and numb. And blood streamed from my nose. I counted to twenty and back again ; (My bad words are all hocked;) Or I might have forgotten and used them When I found the ' dining hall locked. I went to my seven-thirty class. Where my stomach growled pro test When teacher so falsely accused me Of failing to do my best. I nodded through Mr. Johnson’s puns; I snored through History, Then sweated and suffered through “Grand Port de Bras” While Sally shouted at me. The afternoon that followed Held accidents galore. But you have been so patient That I’ll relate no more. Yet there’s a hidden moral; So when this tale be told. Please realize that little things Can surely try one’s soul. My knees are loudly knocking; I needs must kneel to pray And perhaps I’ll do much better When dawns another day.
