Bill has scored one this year on p 65 yard run and ^ passed for three. There are two games remaining to be played. The paper sports editors seem to have the same opinion of Bill as the people in Richmond. Last year Junior College coaches and sports editors of papers who cover the Junior College contests selected Bill as first string fullback on the All-State Junior College football team. Among the boys, on the foot ball team he'is also popular. The trophy for the Best All-round Football player on the Mars Hill squad went to Bill last year. Bill also represents Mars Hill College on the Lion’s track team. This “iron-man” throws the jave lin, shot-put, and discus. Bill’s longest distance for the throwing of the javelin last year was 147 feet, for the shot-put 38 feet 10 inches, and the discus 103 feet. This star athlete at Mars Hill plans to continue his college educa tion and athletics, but he is not sure to which Senior College he is going to transfer. Regardless of the college which Bill attends, it is a sure fact that he will be wel comed to any football squad and track team.

Lefty Pete Henley has been hitting like mad lately; his left>handed hook is dif ficult to block. The other boys on the squad are: Wells, Bobo, Dubs, Martin, Buckner, Woods, Wesley, Young, Warren, and Taylor. According to the coaches, this year’s material is not quite as good as last year’s because the squad is composed mostly of freshmen. However, they might possibly ad mit that is is better balanced. Time will tell. Brevard Brown -will most certainly be missed. At present there are twenty boys on the squad with at least two more expected from the football team. The coaches plan to cut the squad to fifteen soon; so it is only natural that some good boys will have to be cut. Some mighty good players have already been cut, meaning that there should be some good intramural teams th.s WAA Council Plans Agenda For Semester W. A. A.

North Carolina Phi-Eu Game Causes Thrills Intramural Intramural athletics at Mars Hill has been a big asset to the college this year in that it has been sup ported by more students than in previous years. As the football season comes to an end, the intramural football league comes to a close also. Prob ably the game which has created more excitement on the campus than any other game is the Eu-Ph .intramural tilt. The two society teams met for their second con test on November 17, on the grid iron. The game was filled with action and very high spirits. The Phi’s won the game by the score of 8-0, scoring their final six points in the last minute of play in the game. The Non’s turned out in a body to see the game and back the Eu’s in a losing cause, but this goes to prove that intramural athletics is meaning something to the students this year instead of just being something to take up time. Although the football season is coming to a close, intramural ath letics will not stop. Basketball will start before the Christmas holi days, and it is hoped that this will create even more interest in ath letics at Mars Hill. I Ping Pong Champ Who is going to be the champion ping-pong player on the Mars Hill College campus? Well it is a known fact that it will be either John Shaver or John McGirt. Thursday night, November 17, the semi-finals of the ping-pong tournament were played in the gym. In the first match John Mc Girt defeated Winton Francis-Lau in the five out of nine set. McGirt took the match 5-0 with scores of 21- 13, 21-12, 21-15, 21-19, and 22- 20. McGirt is different from most ping-pong players. He plays a defensive game from the begin ning of each match and never takes the offensive. McGirt has made a name for himself as one of the best defensive players that most of the students on Mars Hill Campus have ever seen. Shaver also took his match with a 5-0 score over George Bobo. Bo bo got in the tournament by way of a forfeit over Tom Harris. Harris had to forfeit because he cut his racket hand a few days ago and was unable to play in the semi-finals'. Shaver and Bobo are both offensive players and the crowd watching the semi-finals got a thrill out of watching the boys slamming the ball back and forth across the net. Shaver is a smooth' worker and is very calm in receiv ing smashes from his opponent. His scores for the match were 21- 8, 21-17, 21-11, 21-12, and 21-12. Well, John Shaver, an offensive player, and John McGirt, a C-I de fensive player will match their skills of ping-pong in the finals to determine the champion in the Mars Hill College Ping-Pong Tournament.
