Furman Tops Mars Hill The Fu rman frosh continued in their usual fashion as they caught fire in the third and fourth quarters to doAvn the Vlars Hill Mountain Lions 84-68 here in [McConnell gA'mnasium February 22. The Avin marked the 20th con secutive victory for the Furman squad who, thus far, have not dropped one game all season. The frosh team sIioaa^s a 96-point aver age for the season. The Lions gained an early 17-9 Hello sports. It’s time once again to revicAA' the campus sports Avhich have taken place in the last tAvo Aveeks. Let’s start the ball rolling AAu’th some supposition material. Suppos ing that the Lions go into the finals at the WCJC tournament, and there is good reason to believ'e they Avill, that means that tonight Avill be their chance to take the croAA’n and a first A’ictory oA'er Lees-McRae, if they go to the finals. Of course no facts AV’ere av’ailable at the time this article went to press and so that is all Ave have for you on this event. The basketball summary article Avill appear in the ne.xt issue of the Hilltop if the information can be obtained. Noaa' a look at intramurals. In the light of previous slanderous remarks made b}" the student body in regard to intramural refereeing the teams Avere put on a trial basis to stop this sort of thing in the games on February 20. From all reports this AAX)rked AA’ell and the teams participating shoAA'ed good sportsmanship. Let’s remember that those felloAvs are doing their best. If anyone can find fault Avith their calling 1 am sure arrange ments can be made to allow these felloAvs to call, if they have the guts. [Most of the jeering is done by felloAA's aa4io don’t have enough courage to go out there and try to call a good game. The intramural tournament is looming near and it seems to be the “Rebels” to beat this year. So far they have an all-AAX)n record. Don’t underrate the other teams by any means. Aiu’thing can hap pen in sports, and usually does. I here are several teams with the poAA^er to take the Rebels and they may do it Avhen the important games come up in a feAv weeks. SeA'eral industrious students have been seen Avith baseball gloves on and ready to crown a new king as the basketball season closes. Let’s hope that the same effort AAull be put forth in making the Mars Hill baseball team a strong one this year. That about does it for this time but be sure to remember that those basketball summaries Avill appear in the next paper. first quarter lead but the visitors had narroAved this to 39-37 bv halftime. With cool and deadly precision, the visitors returned for 23 points in the third period and 24 in the final session, Avhile the home team could total only 29 points in the second half. Bill Gaines, hard-driving guard, paced the victors Avith 22 points! Carroll Whitson contributed 20 to the Mars Hill cause.

The Lions have scored 1288 points in 16 contests against Junior Col lege competition AAuth 11 of these as victories. (84) Furman Frosh Mars Hill (68) F—(13) Herring F—(11) R.
