^November 18,1944. THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA. Page 3. KNOW YOUR CAMPUS The Little Church by Mary Sue Middleton “Oh come, come, come, come Come to the church in the wild- wood . . On the editorial page is pic tured one of the few remaining pioneer log churches in the coun try. This remarkable little church is located in Mars Hill at Locust Grove, near the home of Dr. Hoyt Blackwell. Originally built at Arrington Branch and called the Arrington Branch Baptist Church, on what is now the property of Mr. Regan Coates, it was moved to the Mars Hill campus under the auspices of the college and placed at Locust Grove. Some of the early settlers of Western North Carolina huilt the little church with the best they had to offer—their own strength of arm and the native equipment of this region. It was constructed of native hewn logs fitted with rived wood. The seats, of which only one remains, con sisted of hand-split logs with four pegs as legs and narrow split- timber backs. The naturalness of the “church in the wildwood” at all the seasons of the year—^when the locust trees overhead are green, brilliant with autumn colors, or burdened with winter snows — makes the little church beautiful, though rustic. Mars Hill should be tre mendously proud of this pioneer church and the sturdy faith of those early worshippers to which it is a memorial.

Coates Mars Hill, N. C. Middlemount Flower Shop Asheville North Carolina Boyd Ayers, astral left half on the Wolves’ first string, complet ed a sleeper play of the same calibre that had been used by the Cavaliers a week earlier to curb a surging attack of Paul Thomp son’s pack, to chalk up his first touchdown of the season and a 12-6 triumph for the Wolves last Saturday. Another clash was scheduled for today at three o’clock. It was the third of a series of intramural gridiron clashes, and marked the Wolves’ first victory of the year. The Cavaliers, cap tained by Pet Anderson, edged the pack out, 2-0, in the first game. Two weeks later, with the Wolves leading 6-0, the Cavaliers hit pay dirt on a sleeper play to tie the count, 6-6. Max Schrum went across for the Wolves’ first touchdown on the first quarter, a reverse, in the first minute of play, with Ayers and Russell Fitts running interference. The kickoff was at four o’clock, Dewitt (Floating) Flack receiving for the Wolves. On the second play, Ayers re ceived a sleeper for a 30-yard gain. A play to Ed Dunlap for the extra point was no good. In the first period, Harry Davis made one of the longest runs of the season, breaking loose for 30 yards. The Cavaliers took over the pigskin on their own 25. A punt to middlefield went out of bounds. A pass from Pet Anderson on the 3‘O-yard line to Ed Morton in the end zone netted the Cavaliers’ only score in the second quarter. Morton received the pass in the attempt for the extra point, but he was declared out of bounds. In the last half of the second period the Cavaliers were driving steadily on a slowly weakening Wolf line, but the end of the half broke their assault. The third quarter was limited to tight sparring. The Wolves kicked to the Cavaliers, with Carl Westmoreland receiving for a 15- yard run. The Cavaliers failed to get another first down and the ball went to the Wolves on the 35-yard line. T-formation, with Ayers in motion, was employed by the Wolves as Paul Thompson gained 20 yards on a surprise run around right end. In the last period, the Cavaliers opened an aerial attack that netted little yardage. Jay Keeter, ace Wolves center who played the entire game with an injured leg, intercepted two passes for a total gain of 25 yards. The lineup: Wolves (12) Pos.
