Sports Serenade By Bruce Hudson Here I am again trying to bring you the latest on Mars Hill's victories and defeats. It seems that we hove more of the latter at present. The var sity, who played host to Appa lachian's 'B' team on October 11, were defeated by the margin of 13 to 0. Once the Mountaineers got started, the Lions were unable to stop them. Mars Hill's outstanding star was Fred Day, a first year student who plays a good game every game but gets the usual lineman's credit. On Friday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock, October 17, the Lions had as their guests the David son Freshmen, or the Wild- kittens, and were defeated by the score of 19 to 0. The game was studded with long runs by the Davidson backfield men, who time and again gal loped through the Lions' line. Davidson's first touchdown came early in the second quar ter when Peters rammed to the eight-yard stripe from the ten, and one play later went over for the score. Turner con verted the extra point. Once again the Davidsonians struck swiftly when Durant ran Carr s punt from Davidson's own twenty-five to the Lions' thirty-five before being pulled down. Two plays later Roche passed to T. Peters, who went over the goal line standing up. The placement was not good. After Davidson advanced to within one yard of Mars Hill's goal, Williams carried the ball across the all important goal stripe. Roche s try for the extra point was stopped by the Lions. fourth quarter opened with Mars Hill in possession of the ball. Though the Lions were unable to gain ground, Carr punted out of danger. At this point Davidson started a drive that fizzled on the Lions' five- l^d stripe. The remainder of the quarter was spent with Carr punting out of danger several times and the Wild- ■kittens driving hard. Outstanding in the Davidson hne-up were T. Peters, Durant, prr and Sammy Hoy. Best lor the losers were Day, Carr, Cushwa, and Simons. Boys’ Intramurals Tom Davis Leads In Tournament The intramural tennis tour nament is rapidly nearing the highlight of the season—the finals. Tom Davis has already racked the finals in the upper bracket, since he won over Bob Wilhide in a thrilling three-set match. Four matches remain to be played off—one in the second round, two in the quar ter finals, and one in the semi finals—to decide who is to play Davis. That match is certain to be a thrilling one. TAG FOOTBALL only peak wets' moon ebec, esper TDical )oden (sque 1 the were 1 the Drive, How lers, ictivi- f our shall ps of Religious Emphasis (Continued from Page 1) has many soliders in his church at Wilmington. Dr Blanton is cm excellent min ister who understands young people. He is one of the most care ful students of the religious situation as a whole, and is one of the best preachers that we have. He stimulates one to think, and he inspires one to do^ something about it," is the opinion of our pastor, Mr Lynch. Dr. Blanton's wide exper ience has made him an un usually good counselor of stu dent problems. He is not one to give a ready-made answer, but he will really seek the solution to individual needs We are sure that everyone will Physical Education Tag Football Creates Interest In our physical education classes tag football has caused notable attention and interest, for over four hundred students have been participating in it. Each gym class has been divided into two or four teams, depending upon the number of the class. The individual teams have elected captains and de cided upon names. At the close of the inner-class competition, on intra-class tournament will be held to determine the cam pus champions from a select field of class winners. Compe tition in the Monday and Wednesday sections is com plete, and the standings ore shown below: 8:30 M.W. WLT Dashing Demons _ _ 3 0 0 Rangers 1 1 1 Devils 1 1 1 Slew-Foot Sluggers _ 0 3 0 9:30 WLT Lions 1 0 2 Dog-Patch Raiders 10 2 Blue Woodpeckers 12 0 Red Devils 0 1 2 10:30 WLT Blue Devils 2 0 1 Rambling Wrecks 0 2 1 Although competition is not complete in the Tuesday and Thursday 8:30 sections, the Yellow Jackets have definitely ousted the Lucky Tigers. In the 9:30 Tuesday and Thursday class, the Skunks ore leading with two wins, followed close ly by Mobley's Murderers and the Tornadoes who hove won one game apiece. The 10:30 Tuesday-Thursdoy section is let by a team who also call themselves Skunks. They hove two wins to their credit, while the Blue Devils ore second with two ties. The Wild Cots and Bathing Beauties follow with one tie and one loss each. In the 12:00 Tuesday-Thursdoy section the Yanceyites, led by Captain Clement Yancey, have been winning consistently over the Tittle-Winks, captained by Judson Tittle. It is the hope of Coach Cowan that as much interest will be shown in inter-class volley-ball as has been evi denced in the tag-football. Star End Merle Bowen, stellar left-end for the Mars Hill Lions. Bowen is big, fast, and has the ability to think while under fire, as his service as line captain in dicates. want to hear him speak and to take advantage of the confer ences for which he will be available. Sparring In Sports By John Foster West Nothwithstanding the recent defeats suffered by the Lions, the Robertsmen are still a fine bunch of gridders and one of the toughest teams in these ports. There is much individual material in the squad that will constitute a potent team when the coaches get the gridiron machine rolling, as they will with a little more time. A comment on Simons and Green for the outstanding game they played against the David son Wildkittens would be ap propriate. Simons had seen^ very little action previously in a scheduled game, but he handled himself like a pro fessional. Several times he broke through on line plunges. He ran extremely low with a charging technique that will stand the Lions in good stead later. Green was "right there" in that game, too, both on offense and defense. Carr's ability as a punter is history to most of us. He is de cidedly one of the best booters in the state, and is also the Lions' right hand in passing plays. Cushwa is another back highly important to the Lions. He is one of the smoothest runners seen to date on the Mars Hill gridiron; along with this he is hard driving on line plunges and is a hard tackier. The Anderson twins are im portant keys in the Mors Hill machine, although M. Ander son has been marking time re cently because of a leg injury. Bowen and Johnson ore both ends and both of paramount importance to the Lions. Bowen is big, fast, and a good pass receiver, as well as a good line captain. Hammett, Sexton, and Faulk ner ore three more key backs. Each of these gridders has seen plenty of action, and each game will afford plenty more this season. Day is probably one of the most outstanding linemen on the team. He made all-state for New Hanover high school at least one year and won a number of trophies for his athletic achievements. He is a bulwark in the Lions' de fense. In the same category ore Ingle and Holt, the Hill's star tackles. Both of these veteran Lions ore as tough as any adversary they will meet this season. Moore ploys center position very com- (Continued on Page 4) Girls* M-blem Club Last year, an organization was formed known as the W. A. A. Many girls took an active interest in it, and some worked hard to reach the goal of 850 points before the year was up. Following up last year's plan for girl athletics, an or ganization known as the M- blem club has recently been formed. Installation of the following officers took place at the first meeting: President, Martha Ervin; vice-president. Iris Willis; secretary, Christine Jennette; archery manager, Richie Harris; hockey man ager, Dorothy Taylor; swim ming manager, Joyce Satter- white; and publicity chairman, Mary Frances Finch. In order to receive a letter at the end of the year, each girl must display her sports manship and skill in each game to earn the fourteen points set as a goal. FORENSIC COUNCIL (Continued from Page 1) work in the past, and many students have made excellent records after leaving the school. The president of the Student Legislative Assembly for this year is David Harris, who was graduated from Mars Hill in 1939. David is president of the State college chapter of the national honorary forensic fra ternity, Pi Kappa Delta. He has made an enviable record as a member of the forensic squad of State college, win ning distinction in major tour naments held throughout the United States last year. At Mercer University, Macon, Georgia, George Culpepper, class of '40, and Gwen Reed, who was graduated from Mors Hill last year, hove been se lected for membership in a notional honorary forensic so ciety, the Tau Kappa Alpha. Mars Hill is indeed honored, since only three representa tives were chosen from the en tire university student body. This year's . forensic council, under the leadership of Mr. J. B. Huff, sponsor and organ izer, is striving toward still greater success in the future. International Summary (Continued from Page 1) this front have been consider ably slowed down because of heavy snowfall. In America the House and Senate will pass the bill to arm American merchant ships. The defense effort is still being slowed by numerous strikes in vital industries. The House and Senate have passed the new $6,000,000,000 lend-lease bill. The Japanese cabinet of Prince Fumimoro Konoye has fallen, and the new govern ment is headed by on army general. He seems to be moderately conservative, and all that is expected in the next few days from Japan is a more vigorous prosecution of the war against (Ehina. Peace Treaty Of ’41 The last shell has just missed its mark and the war is over. Yes, the war to end all hy pocrisy and make the world safe for "dateocracy" is rapid ly drawing to a close. A rough draft of the peace treaty has been drawn and is "hear"-by presented for your inspection. Edith Cole has been given the right hand side of the Ashe ville highway, just so a Good man con burn it up coming over. This is not for Casey's "Strawberry Blond," but a gallon of peroxide is the spoils demanded by Carter Wright. Maybe he thinks Helen Drake can be chained down by golden locks. Although the shot is now a receding echo, the Bangs club, emblem dropping over members' foreheads, is still a vital port of New Dormi tory night life. Jean Combs, Margaret Bunch, and Doris Rhodes, with their streamlined pigtails, ore making the self- respecting hogs of Mors Hill flee in remorse. Mors Hill is neither gone with the wind nor the draft; the wooing sound is only Uncle Herbie tuning up his bond to match his baton. The peace treaty leaves him a real drum stick with which to attract the attention of his band. The left wing of Treat Dormi tory has been given to the Clemson invaders in exchange for Willie Ruth Edwards, who was captured early in the war. Even with her ability as a law yer she could not talk herself free. So far cm agreement has not been reached with the Wake Forest army who captured one Kincaid, one Bobo, and bombed without warning one Finch who had been declared undefended. It has been sug gested that five poramecia, one euglena, seven earth worms, and Jimmie Wright might pacify the aggressive party. McCleney has demanded a well-guarded fortress for future protection, while the govern ment has left for the benefit of all a well-equipped morgue under the direction of "Happy" Frank Johnson and his bayou beauties. Betty McGee has re ceived a flag to carry in place of her red, white, and blue hair. Harrison Faile and Bill Riggs- bee have been given several old cannons with which to commit suicide over their Ger man lesson instead of lying in the highway. Several girls hove demanded more Lucke, but the treaty committee knows only one who is getting the real Jack. Grace Patton requests that (Continued on Page 4)
