Nov. 23, 1946. THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA. Pagre 3. Brevard Invades Mars Hill For Season Finale jUian'l (laaA. er, » North e posr* leTit SocieW* a to his lars fliil iO. VJhe* arose, be by jerry marion Once again, the Brevard Tornadoes invade Mors Hill ior an other long-awaited grid battle, this time topping oH the 1946 football season. This contest over-^adowing any other sports news in this section, is expected to draw a large crowd of rooters for both squads to witness the display of on old football rivalry. Grid rivalry, though frowned upon by some, often promotes the most heated and hardest fought battles of the season. More spirit, from both players and fans, fills the crisp crir as the teams battle to uphold the ''honor'' and tradition of their school and their feud. They ore either attempting to off-set a last season defeat, or trying to uphold a clean slate. Perhaps the most pi^licized trophy of traditional rivals is the "Little Brown Jug" awarded to the wiimer of the oimual Michigan-hCnnesota game. Players give their oU to "do or die" for their school—and the "Jug." Though there is no prized memento to be presented to the winner of the Brevard - Mors Hill gome in a dignified ceremony, the rivalry will doubtless promote the hardest fought tussle of the grid season. It will be a tough gome for the players and a thrilling one for the spectators. Hots off to Miss Stringfield & Company!! The bond, cheer leaders and majorettes hove been doing a bang-up job of boosting the team spirit to soaring heights. Traveling with the squad to Banner Elk, the crew cheered the Lions on to their 14-0 victory over the Bobcats. The bond plans a gala perform ance. weather permitting, for the Brevard gome, and will be ably assisted by Iris Godfrey, Betty Shmnoker, and Dick Moore, the baton twirlers, and the cheerleaders. ***** An imconfirmed rumor has it that the Lions will ploy at least two of their games under the lights of Asheville's Memorial Stadium next season.

Locals Lose Toughest Tilt Of Grid Year Mars Hill Topped 19-0 By Appalachian “B” Evading Ole Man Weather’s usual Saturday afternoon rain for the second successive week, the Mars Hill Lions fell before the Appalachian “B” squad, on the Staters’ field in Boone, N. C., Friday afternoon, November 15, in a grid contest that featured the roughest and hardest played foot ball seen during the current sea son, complete with myriad penal ties and near clashes between the rival squads. Staters Score In First Period Starting things off with a bang in the initial period, the Moun taineers chalked up their first counter before the first quarter was half old. After an exchange of punts that placed the Staters deep in their own territory, the Mountaineers’ pile-driving machine began to gather momentum, and with full steam up when they crossed the mid-field stripe, they coasted to the Lions’ 16, where the visitors’ forward wall stiffen ed and held the invaders for downs. In an attempt to get out of the hole via the aerial route, the Staters’ pass defense tighten ed, and intercepted Cushwa’s pass on the 24, returning the pigskin to the 15. Two plays later. Half back Bryson ploughed off guard from the 6 to paydirt and six points. Boyette’s try for extra point was wide of the mark, but the Staters took a commanding 6-0 lead that finally proved to be all that was needed to topple the Lions and hold them scoreless throughout sixty minutes of rough- and-tumble football. Lion* Trail 13-0 With luck on their side again, the Mountaineers recovered a partially blocked kick on the Lions’ 36 at the outset of the second stanza, and after Regan raced the remaining distance to the goal and Boyette converted, the scoreboard read 13-0, with the Lions trailing still further behind the powerful Appalachian aggregation. The remainder of the half fea tured a kicking duel between the opponents, with play see-sawing back and forth near mid-field. Third Quarter Scoreless The third period saw the most even tussle of the game, with both teams fighting hard to keep their ground and force the op position back; neither team pene trated farther than the 30 yard line. Initiating a sustained drive after receiving a Lion punt on their 30, the Mountaineers drove on the ground into Mars Hill ter ritory, where a pass set up a touchdown on the Lion 30. Walters climaxed the drive, bucking over from the 6. Boyette’s attempt was wide again, but Appalachian lead the Lions 19-0. The fleeting minutes of the game witnessed a rough scuffle between the squads, each with blood in their eye.

Line Stands Out The Lions entire forward wall displayed stellar performance throughout the contest, showing a whole-hearted willingness to play their best ball in an effort to stop the moving advance of the Moun taineers. With their backs to the wall for the majority of the time, the stalwart line dug in when the occasion called for it, and charged forward with the Lion offense. To top off the 1946 grid season here at Mars Hill, the Mountain Lions will play host to a powerful squad of Brevard Tornadoes Satur day, November 23, to renew the rivalry of long-standing that has existed between the two western North Carolina junior colleges. The contest should prove to be a junior college “classic,” for both squads are at top strength with the finest teams they have had in recent years. Squalls Equal Both teams will take to the field on an almost even footing, since both have won all but a single conference game, both having lost to the powerful Camp bell college aggregation. Brevard downed Gardner-Webb, Lees-Mc- Rae, and PJC in short order, but, running up against the fighting Camels, they were forced to cede defeat. After holding Campbell scoreless in the first half, the Camels unleashed their Sunday punch in the final periods, and tamed the Tornadoes 26-0. Likewise, the Lions triumphed over the Bulldogs, the Bobcats, and the Scotties, but fell before the Camels 19-0. In the course of the struggle, the Lions were able to drive to the Camels’ one- foot line, but they were held there and forced back, un^le to score.
