THE HILLTOP. MARS HILL COLLEGE. MARS HILL. N. C.
Page 5
the
SidelUtei'
By Wilson and Morris
All attention has now been diverte-d to the game of basketball all
over the land, since the football season has ended. IVIany colleges are
lining up their teams and this year will be the tops in the game. We
feel that it is necessary to change the name of our column, now that
it is basketball season.
Here at Mars Hill the season got under way with the two boys’
Literary Societies doing the honors. We saw a contest that was really
the works last week. For awhile it was anyone’s gues® as to who had
the ball. Some of the shots that were made on the side were excep
tional. The varsity team took over last Wednesday night, with a
game that brought sighs and excitement to many of the fans that
Were on hand to see the exhilbition. The team as a whole is showing
up fine and Mars Hill this year should have as good a chance as they
had last year in the Tournament. Last year all the scoring records
were broken and they were invited to the tournament over in Hen
dersonville. There they walked away with the Western Division cham
pionship. Then they moved on to Georgia wher^ they took first place
in the consolation class. This year as last, w^ would like to see the
spirit that is needed for the team. If you think that the games are
not exciting then you are in for a great surprise. Many of the peo
ple have remarked that they did no't care for .the game but when
they saw one last year, they attended the rest of the season. We ask
you to come out and see one and we believe that you will not miss
another game. Rememiber that just before the holidays we have two
games.
For relaxation and to get away from the books for an enjoyable
evening come on down to the gym and see the boys in action.
The Phi-Eu basketball season will draw to a close on Monday
night, December 15, so for a game that will give you some surprises
come and see them. In the first game, the Phi’s were the victors by
the score 26-19.
Last Wednesday night the Lions defeated North Greenville by the
score of 66-24. For the Lions, Jones with 16 points was the high
scorer, and Riley marked up 10 points for the losers.
For more on the world of sports here at Mars Hill read this col
nmn in every issue of The Hilltop. Next time we will come out with
n new heading but the column will be the same.

Mars Hill College’s Annual Football Banquet was held on Tuesday
^*ght, December 2, at 7:30 o’clock, in the dining hall annex. This
anquet was given in honor of the football boys that played such a
®'"’ell season of football.
A-t the entrance to the annex, the decorations consisted of an arch-
^^y festooned with blue and gold crepe paper with a football over
doorway to welcome the football boys and guests. In the dining
^11 annex the room was decorated with blue and gold paper, with
®^*'eamers covering the archways into the main dining hall. Behind
speakers’ taible a Mars Hill banner hung in simple folds repre-
®®nting the spirit of the team and cheerleaders. The centerpiece on
speakers’ ta;ble was a football centered in ivy to represent the
hard-fought battles that the boys played. On each of the tables blue
gold candles, surrounded with holly, gave the effect of dim dark-
h®ss which the boys were used to from coming in at dusk after a
“^^y of practice.
Gene Wyhe, President of the Sporting Goods Store in Asheville,
the guest speaker for the evening. He based his talk around the
‘hiportant factor in everyday life, “Love.” Emmett Sami, the toast-
^^ter for the evening, was a perfect one—^with jokes and every-
Mpg! J. V. Howell gave the invocation. Mr. R. P. Ashworth gave
® “Passing,” which was the challenge to the football team to con-
“"“e their hard fights throughout life, after which Julius Crocker,
'^'’-captain for the year, gave the “Receiving.” Anne Bruce Chandley,
^°loist for the event, sang “Together” and “SUrdust,” accompanied
Jf Ann Willlami. Coach Ramiey made the headlines of the evening
he presented the certificates to the football team (with wise-
^’"acks with each one of them). He also made the statement that the
«®ine with IP.J.C. was the best game of the season with the possible
‘Option of the Hiawassee game!!
j Dyer and his “south of the border” band furnished the music
the banquet with Senorita Jeannette Collim as featured soloist.
^®®*'Pette was so good that when she sang “St. Louis Blues she
called back to sing it again. Jack willingly accepted the invita-
to play for the banquet when he heard that “steaks” would be
“atmosphere.”
^^^cautiful girls?????? You bet, and ever>' one of them thrilled to
over her beautiful corsage of white and red carnations.

The two boys’ Literary Socie
ties met on the basketball court
on December 1 for a thrilling
game. The Phis and Eus with their
sister societies, the Clios and
Nons, sat on opposite sides of the
gym and cheered their respective
teams. Society, colors brightened
the cheering sections. The game
was a spirited and hotly contested
one from beginning to end. The
Phis took the game by the score
of 26-19. Those paving the way
for the Phi victory were Howard
Knight and George Furches. The
Eus, in their new “Black and
Gold” uniforms, played very well,
too. The ouitstanding Eus were:
