Mars Hill Quintet Invades A-B Hardwood Wednesday By BOB HIGH Asheville-Biltmore Bulldogs will play host to the invading Lions from Alars Hill Wednesday night in the renewal of the hard fought games played between the two junior colleges in the past. The Bulldogs boast a team which in cludes the number three scorer in the conference. Smoky Young, a smooth center, and also a 6’5” forward in Floyd Pryor. This will give them plenty of back- board power. If Harris AIcGirt and Bobby Robinson play their usually brilliant offensive game and Todd Kittrell is pumping his jump-shot in, the going will be rough for the host squad. Earlier in the season the Bull dogs grabbed a 64-61 decision from the Lions in a game which was tied with 10 seconds to go. Young hit a lay-up and Pryor dumped a free throw to ice the game. The coming game will no doubt be a big one and if Mars Hill wuns, the season will be con sidered by many as successful. The Bulldogs have a 1-7 conference record and the Lions owned a 3-5 mark through the last home game. Lions Take Spartans In Final Home Game South Carolina opposition proved to be too much for the Mountain Men of Mars Hill as North Greenville and Spartan burg turned the Lion quintet back on two road trips. Mars Hill pined revenge on the Spar tan five in a thriller at McCon nell gym, 79-75. The Spartans took a close one from the Lions, 95-91, in their first meet ing. North Greenville routed the home squad at Greenville. In the first Spartanburg tilt Harris McGirt and Bobby Rob inson hit for 55 points between them, but it was still not enough Too bad, boys—the joke is on you this time! The M-Club and the M-blem Club combined their efforts in the March of Dimes Drive. The M-Club conducted the drive among the boys on the campus, but they had to render victory to the M-blem Club which was in charge of the girls’ part of the drive. The efforts of both clubs were rewarded by a total collection of approximately $70. Both Clubs deserve con gratulations. The girls’ winter-sports clubs are now in full swing. In the Basketball Club there is strong competition among the teams of the dorms. The Hiking Club has had several hikes which included picnic suppers. Gay music and laughing voices fill the air as the Folk Dance Club practice new steps. This season will close with a tournament in the Basketball Club, an overnight hike in the Hiking Club, and an exhibition in the Folk Dance Club, which will be judged and the best folk dancers determined. to bring home a win. Robinson hit for 29 and McGirt 26. Todd Kittrell had 16. In the North Greenville scrap, Robinson and McGirt hit for 16 each and the powerful home team remained undefeated. When Spartanburg invaded our “cracker box- for a game on February 2, they failed to bring Don Godfrey who tallied 42 points against the Lions on his home court. This could have cost them the ball game, as they came from behind twice to tie the score pd forced the fighting Lions into two overtime periods be fore losing, 79-75.
