THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA Page Three OUT OF THE UONS DEN JOHN FOSTER WEST For the benefit of those who cannot count that for the final score in the Founders' Day game with Erskine (Fresh) was 41-0. Early in the first quarter Smith returned a kick to the Mars Hill 40 stripe and a se ries of plunges brought the ball down to the Erskine 15. McGaha transported it around right-end for a score. Can- kicked the extra point. Later in the same quarter Edwards car ried the ball across but the play was annulled because of on off-sides penalty. In the next play Can conied the ball through the center for a score cmd kicked the extra point. Can has never learned to miss in his kicking. In the second quarter Ed wards received a pass from Can and scored. The extra point was not made. Coach Roberts sent in several substi tutes and they gave the Ers kine team almost as tough a time as the men they relieved. Under punting attacks and three losses the Erskine rats were finally backed down to their o-wn 10-yard stripe. White attempted to kick out of the hole, but Sprinkle and West came in from the end and tackle and blocked it. The ball was recovered by Haithcock, a sub. end, for a score. Carr kicked the extra point. A few minutes later, back in the middle of the field an un usual thing happened. Sprinkle, Ingle and West tack led the same man almost at the same time. It knocked all three of them out momentarily, or rather deoxidated them. They were lying on their backs recuperating while the man they had tackled got up cmd walked safely away. West broke his nose in the same quarter and was relieved by Pierce. Mars Hill made two more points in that quarter. White stepped from his end zone out of bounds as he pun ted, and an automatic safety was ruled against him. In the third quarter no score was made. In the fourth quar ter Smith chalked down one touchdown and Edwards one. The extra points failed to ma terialize. The best defensive gome on the field that day was played by Clark, the Lions' center. Time after time Clark tore through the line of scrimmage to throw the seceders for a loss. Smith celebrated his birthday of the day before by playing his usual best. Smith is one of the few backs who like to drive the ball down the field and let someone else make the touchdo-wn. "Caf- figo" Holt played better than he usually does, which is usu ally good, for the benefit of his parents and girl friend who were present. He lost part of a tooth for his pains, though. Royall played his usual guard (Continued on page 4) CliO'-Phi cuo Madge Allen, president; Rose Marie Haynes, first vice-president; Emily Davis, second vice-president; Erma Morris, secretary; Gwendolyn Hobbs, censor; Virginia Lee Cox, treasurer; Martha Eller, chaplain; Frances Burrows, chorister; Mildred Colvard, pianist; Margaret Perry, correspond ing secretary; Peggy Clif ford, literary critic; Mar garet Greene, expression critic; Pauline Reed, music critic; and Edith Penlond, Catherine Beatty, and Elite Mae White, marshals.

The thoughts of all society members are now turning to Anniversary and Reception, and committees have already begun to plan the decorations and programs. Not even one person has any thought of shirking his duty, and every indi vidual is ever ready to give any aid of which he is capable. Each of the society presidents hopes that this year's Anni versary and Reception may be on improvement over even the most splendid of preceding years. "With the help and co operation of our Philomathian brothers, we are expecting the best Reception ever. As Clios we are looking forward to the dawn of a new day in Clio- Phi. Also, we are wishing for our Non-Eu cousins success and glory in their gala event. I attribute a great port of my inspiration to two of my home town friends, Martha Lee Grayson and Gladys Rein hardt, who were presidents of the Clio Literary Society."— Madge Allen, president of Clios. "If co-operation, hard work, and enthusiasm are on indica tion of future success, then the Philomathians should observe a great Golden Anniversary. We Phis wish to impart to our Clio sisters and to our Non pareil and Euthalion cousins a portion of the spirit and enthu siasm we hove. We hope that the experience of this Fiftieth Anniversary will prove to be the fountain of many new and lasting friendships, not only between the members of our society, but also among the members of all societies."— C. C. Hope, president of Philo- mathians. "The Nonpareils are joyfully anticipating the night of Nov. 30 — well aware, however, of the labor and effort necessary to the success of reception. May our dear Euthalion bro thers know we're ever willing to work toward their triumph at Anniversary. May our Clio- Phi cousins know we hope for them, too, the very best from their members." — Lynn Stark weather, president of Non pareils. "1 am honored to have been elected president of the Eutha- lian Literary Society for this Fiftieth Anniversary, and I shall endeavor to show my gratitude by making this An niversary, with the help of my brother officers and members, the best in our history. With the ever present support of our beloved Nonpareil sisters, this anticipation will become a reality. And we wish for our cousins, the Clios and Philo mathians, much success in their Anniversary and Recep tion.—Lowell Shive. president of Euthalion. Answers 1. Lake Trinidad. 2.

Down The Sports Trail | By Jerry Rogers ^ Hello everybody. Here I am to bring you the latest losses and gains of the Lions—and, I might add, that there are more of the former than the latter. The time: 3:00 P.M.; the place: the Canton Stadium at Can ton, N. C.; and X marks the spot where the under-rated Mors Hill team played the mighty W.C.T.C. to a scoreless tie. Let the big imiversities rave about their unbeatable school spirit, but if any more spirit has ever been displayed than was exhibited by our boys. I'd like to know about it. With the odds seemingly against them, the Lions show ed the indomitable spirit that is characteristic of them and held a supposedly much stronger team to a 0-0 score; thus, upsetting the predictions of many. This was one out-of-town game that the students attend ed in numbers. Some sixty in cluding the band and cheer leaders made the 40-mile trek to back up the home team. In all. Coach Roberts' pro ducts plus the products of Mr. Sebren gave the fans a real treat. Saturday afternoon, the 12th, the Founders' Day game was played. At this tilt, the largest crowd of the current season watched our boys again prove their superiority over invaders by trouncing Erskine Frosh 41-0. The 12th was one of Mother Nature's perfect days and ap parently it proved inspiring to the blues and gold for they made repeated thrusts into enemy territory to score time and time again. In the first quarter, they cut loose with a blitzkreig that drove the freshmen to their knees and kept them there the remainder of the game. So much for that though, the game is now history in the annals of the school—played, won, and gone but not forgotten. It seems that "Old Man Gridiron" has pulled another football thriller out of the bag for us. This encounter, which is to be played Oct. 18, pits the Mars Hillians against the frosh of Davidson. Davidson really goes in for football and has the reputation of turning out a good freshman as well as a varsity team. We're ex pecting a good turnout. After all. Mors Hill is your team and its success or failure largely depends on you. Well, so long till I see you the afternoon of the next issue. Remember, School Spirit is one of the attributes that distin guishes a good college from a great college. I SPY Our old lady just got a box. If you, gentle readers, could only see us now! Fried chicken to the right of us, chocolate cake to the left of us, seafoam candy in front of us, not to mention cheese ritz, apples, scuppemongs, and peanuts. Please, we beg cf you, do not hold us respon sible for this colyum this week.
