Lions Roar Over P.J.C.. 31-0

'n Saturday night, September 29,
hat can possibly be called one of
tars Hill’s best football teams in
: luite a few years. Sure, the team
looked fine! So did the score, 31-0.
But, underneath all these good
points, there are invariably the
bad points. Following are both the
good and bad points.
I All of you probably noticed that
,;^everal times the P.J.C. safety man
almost got by the entire Mars Hill
team and looked touchdown bound.
As these punt returns, time and
=time again, seemed to be headed
for pay dirt, many of you fans
- r-jr uiiu, many oi you lans
wondered why the safety
r • seemed to be getting loose.
Was supposed to be turned in to-
the Mars the center of the field where
'uba and Kf"® the “Lion’s” men were,
3nt Cuba J,somehow, the sidelines seemed
to be open for the run-back. If the
roved diffid^^ man had been faster, those
J with ^’^turns could have proved
tic time tryi. This fault has possibly
een remedied by the coaches and
— ..luture games will reveal a dif
ferent story.

Have you joined a club? If not,
there is still a place for you in
your favorite club. The Archery
Club has between 25 and 30 mem
bers, and the swimming club has
over 30 members. Enrollment has
increased in the Badminton and
Volley ball club, but they still need
more girls. There are only 6 girls
in the Tennis Club, so if you know
how to handle a tennis racket and
ball, they certainly do need you.
Miss Irene Olive is the sponsor of
this club. To be a member of one
of these clubs requires no skill at
all except in swimming, so do not
hesitate for that reason.
The Woman’s Athletic Associa
tion, under the direction of Coach
Virginia Hart, is sponsoring the
Bloodmobile that will be here No
vember 12. The goal for the blood
drive will be one hundred pints.
Those of us who heard the
speaker in chapel remember his
saying that ordinarily they could
keep a 10 day supply of blood
plasma ahead, but due to the in
creasing casualties, only a 7 days’
supply is kept now. This should
make us realize that giving our
blood is for a very worthy cause.

son. The schedule is as follows:

The bloodthirsty Mars Hill Lions
roared back after two poor seasons
to show their stuff Saturday night.
Sept. 29. With only five veteran
players from the previous season,
they battered the Scotties of Pres
byterian College, Maxton, 31-0.
Front Row, Left to Right: Medford, Gamer, Shubert, Boatwright, Griffin, Ready, Towns, and Vance Second
Row: Connor B^d Singleton, Boyd Davis, McCauley, Medows, Frisby, and Ward. Third Row Winstead
Jones, Bedford Cariton Freemon, Williamson, Elkins, and DeBruhl. Fourth Row: Reese, Hughs Thomlsson
Buckner, Vaughn, Knighten, and Hall. Fifth Row: Powell, Higdon, Brock Alexander pAtt«
Row: Coach Edwards, Managei-s Bowen, Riddle, Murray, Rubyf Coach StrsoT ’ ’
The strong forward wall of the
Baptists, led by 240 pounder Allan
Shubert, stopped P. J. C. cold. In
four quarters of play, the Scotties
could only gain 27 years, rushing.
On the other hand, the backs of
MHC had a field day. Dickie Sing
leton led the parade by picking up
94 yards from scrimmage on 18
carries, for an average of B.2
yards per try.
Tennis Coach, J. V. Howell, has
announced that all men interested
in positions on next spring’s tennis
team should report at the tennis
courts any afternoon at 3:30. He
is there in order to instruct the
boys and girls and give them point
ers so as to have a successful team
next spring. Last year’s team was
coached by a member of the tennis
team, and although the student
coach was very capable, this year’s
team should be more successful
due to the fact that not only has
Coach Howell played tennis, he
has coached the Mars Hill team at
different times in the past few
years.
In addition, Dickie passed effec
tively, and thrilled the crowd of
some 700 with his 90 yard jaunt
down the right sidelines. Singleton
was followed closely by rampaging
Hal Buckner, who kept bucking
the line consistently to pick up
valuable yardage, when Mars Hill
seemed to be slowing up. Hal
carried the ball 15 times for 66
yards and an average of 4.4 yards
per try. The main thing that kept
the P. J. C.’s from rolling was
their frequent fumbling. Alert
Alan Shubert recovered three of
these, setting up two touchdowns.
Working smoothly and steadily
and calling the right plays at the
right time was quarterback Lonnie
Connor. Lonnie kept the Scotties
in their own territory the few
times they had the ball with his
timely kicking, which averaged
40.2 yards per punt.
After stopping an earlier touch
down threat, P. J. C. fumbled on
their own 20. Two plays later,
Mars Hill’s Singleton scampered
17 yards for the touchdown. An
attempt for the extra point failed,
leaving the score at 6-0.
In the second frame, Shubert
grabbed another fumble on the
one, after which, Buckner smashed
over. The conversion again was
low, leaving the score at 2-0. After
a scoreless third quarter, Bob
Reese scored in the fourth on a
pass from Dickie Singleton, Shu-
bert’s conversion was good to bring
the score to 9-0 in favor of Mars
Hill.
Two quick scores ended the
mighty splurge in the final quar
ter. Speedy Marion Powell twisted
his scant 150 pounds five yards for
the fourth 6 pointer of the eve
ning. The Scotties elected to kick,
hoping for a fumble in the Lion’s
territory. To their surprise, Single-
ton grabbed the ball on his own 10,
and flew 90 yards down the right
side, behind excellent blocking.
The final count was 31-0, as the
conversion was again wide.
