Lions Trounce Asheville-Biltmore,
3-0,10-1, In Conference Opener
Mars Hill’s Lions rode the strong right arms of Dave Beck
and Jimmy Tate to victory in an opening doubleheader against
Asheville-Biltmore College. Beck threw a four-hit shutout in the
initial contest and the Lions pulled it out, 3-0. Second baseman
Terry Furr garnered two of the Lions’ seven hits in the opener,
both of them singles, to pace the hitting attack. Alert base-running
by Mars Hill made up for the lack of power hitting in the first
g^e.
In the nightcap Mars Hill
pounded out 11 hits in record
ing a 10-1 win. Tate, a right
hander from Belmont, scattered
eight hits well in notching his
first triumph of the season. The
lone tally against Tate came in
the final inning and was un
earned. Shortstop and co-cap-
tain Ronnie Pare clouted a two-
run homer, scoring Beck ahead
of him, to top off the fireworks
in the second game. Pare also
liad a single, and first baseman
T' hnnv Riddle had two singles
and a double to spark the Lion
hitting. Baldwin, who pitched
the first game for Asheville-Bilt
more, also led his team at the
plate.

Teams Elect Captains
Third baseman “Moe” Rich
ardson hails from Williamsburg,
were elected co-captains of the
Mars Hill baseball team for the
1961 season. They were chosen
by their teammates from among
seven returning lettermen.
Both boys are sophomores. Rich
ardson hails from Williamsbur,
Virginia, while Pare is from Con
cord. Their versatility is an asset
to Coach Henderson because Pare
takes a turn on the mound in addi
tion to his shortstop duties, and
Richardson can handle short and
second, as well as third base.
In the double-header victory
over Asheville-Biltmore, which
was the first game of the young
season for the Lions, Ronnie poled
a two-run homer, while “Moe”
started his year with a pair of
singles. Both boys have shown
outstanding leadership qualities in
their relations with their team
mates thus far.
Sophomore “Doc” John Gard
ner, of Hot Springs, and freshman
Don Martin, of Salem, Va., have
been chosen to serve as co-captains
of the track team for the coming
season. These boys were elected
on the basis of leadership, hard

In Fnrnian Relays
Coach Harrell Wood took his
track team to Furman Univer
sity in Greenville South Caro
lina, to defend their title in the
junior division of the annual
News-Piedmont Relays. The
Lions were unable to finish first
again, but several individual
performers represented the col
lege well. Wingate took first
jtlace in the junior college di
vision this year, while Florida
State brought their usual fine
group of thinclads north and
once again took top honors in
the senior college division. Fur
man, the host school, came in
second to Florida State.
Mars Hill’s sprint medley re
lay team ran a good third, as
did the Lions’ 880-yard relay
team. Don Martin, Gary Good
win, Dick Graybill, and Tim
Cowin make up the sprint med
ley relay team, while the 880-
yard quintet is composed of
Martin, Goodwin, Cowin, and
Charles Gillespie. In the mile
relay Mars Hill finished fifth,
with John Gardner, Don Mar
tin, Gray Goodwin, and Robert
Dodson each running a leg on
this relay. Martin and Good
win, the two fleet freshmen,
both ran on three relay teams
that placed, plus competing in
the hundred-yard dash.
In the field events for the
Lions, Ford Parker placed in the
pole vault and Carroll Williams
placed in the javelin. Many of
the times recorded were excep
tionally good considering the
condition of the track after the
heavy rains.
work, and ability. Martin and
Gardner have trained hard and
consistently this spring and should
set good examples for the remain
der of the cinder team by their
stamina and desire.
Martin, a well-conditioned
speedster, runs the dashes, with
the 440 his specialty, and also is
used by Coach Wood in relays.
Gardner is known for his dura
bility and his “never-say-die” spirit.
He trains vigorously and should
influence his teammates to do the
same. “Doc” is a distance runner
who prefers the gruelling two-
mile run.
