Winston is in charge of all tennis activity on the camps. In the next two weeks the Lions will be playing two games which the student body will have the op portunity to attend. On October 22, the Lions meet Lees-McRae at Spruce Pine, and the student body will be allowed to attend the game. October 29 is an open date, but a game will be scheduled on that date. The game will be play ed on the Mars Hill College grid iron. Coach Ramsey has announced that varsity basketball practice will start October 10. All those interested are urged to be on hand. Ramsey also says that all positions are open because there are few varsity men from last year who are back. this year than there were last year. Basketball drew a large number of spectators last year, but softball drew very few specta tors. It is hoped that more interest will be shown by the entire student body this year in intramural athletics.

A football player learns to take the knocks and not return them. That is one of the lessons which football teaches to every boy who plays football for the sport. Week after week teams walk off the gridiron defeated in their attempt to win a football game. Some of the players may have played dirty ball, but the majority of the players played clean foot ball and took their defeat without complaining. It takes a better team to lose than it does to win if the losing team shows good sportsmanship. A winning team will not brag of its victory, but the football players will be proud of their victory if they have play ed a good game. Let us who sit on the sidelines and watch a football game be good sports and try to encourage the team we are supporting to play in sportsmanlike manner. Let’s discourage any attempt of a football player to play unfairly, and let’s act like sportsmen our selves. “If you can’t play a sport, be one.” As a heavy rain started falling soon after the Mars Hill - W. C. T. C. “B” team football game got underway on Saturday afternoon, Octoiber 8, on the Mars Hill Col lege gridiron, W. C. T.

C. T. C. At this point Myfer took a pass from center, faded back to the visitors 40 and hit Whitehead in the flat on the 20 of W. C. T. C. From this point, Whitehead ran over stand ing up. Elleniburg’s attempt for the extra point from placement was low, and the score remained 13-6. The two teams battled back and forth in the middle of the grid iron until the game ended with the score standing at 13-6. Late in the final period, however, the visitors pushed to the Lions 30, but Mars Hill held and W. C. T. C. kicked the ball out of the end zone. Mars Hill took over on their 20. The chargers from Cullowhee held and Mars Hill was forced to kick. Garvin Martin, Mars Hill’s punter, came in and booted the ball 75 yards to the five yard line of W. C. T. G. This was Martin’s best punt of the year, but he has got off several punts for 50 and 60 yards. Martin’s average punting for the season to date is forty-five and one half yards. This is an average which not many punters in the nation can claim. All of the Lions played hard, clean football and all of the play ers were good, but Overton, guard, was the outstanding player of the Mars Hill squad. Overton was hard to move and got in a large per centage of the tackles. Other players who stood out were Myer, Whitehead, England, and Saund ers. Burleson, a former Mars Hill student, and Whitaker stood out for the winners. u ASHEVILLE, N. C.

The Lions held, and Milligan was forc ed to kick. After Myer had picked up two yards through the line, he faded back and hit Whitehead on the Milligan 35 for a first down. On the next play Curling raced down field to the 10-yard line of Milligan and gathered in one of Myer’s heaves and scrambled over the goal line for Mars Hill’s first score. The attempt for the extra point from placement was not good and the Lions led 6 to 0. In the final minutes of the first half, Milligan put on a sustained drive which carried them to the Mars Hill 19 yard line with first down and ten to go. On three plays the visitors carried the ball to the Mars Hill 19, but the Lions dug in and held and took over on the 10-yard line.
