This is an everyday occur- ance, however, and Mr. Ezell has not yet lost a student. Said one panting frosh, “Another week of this and the Russians will be 50 years behind in physical develop ment.” It doesn’t phase the coach though; from his point of view, “They come here to get an edu cation, and I’m going to see that they get it.” This man is Haskell “Hack” Ezell, new assistant line coach in football and head track coach. A Mars Hill alumnus and gradu ate of East Carolina College, ma joring in physical education and biology, he did his graduate work at the University of Tennessee. (“Of course, I can do the UT.”) A working knowledge of the UT is not the only prized pos- Lions fight Keydets on home field Oct. 27 COACH HASKELL EZELL The Mars Hill Lions will meet the Marion, Ala., Military Insti tute in their fifth game of the season, which will be played on Saturday, Oct. 27, at 2:00 P.M. on the football field of Mars Hill High School. The Lions, carrying a record of one win and two losses on the season, are expecting a tough game with the Keydets this year. In their last meeting, in 1961, the Lions and Keydets battled to a 0-0 halt in a game which was called “one of the hardest fought but cleanest played” games of the 1961 season. The game was marked by a very tough brand of football, one which required extensive patchwork for both teams afterward. The Marion team was hailed by the Lion Three join twirlers The Mars Hill majorettes have added three new lasses: Penny Ellison of Greenville, S. C.; Pau line Briggs, a local product; and Janice Elam, a senior at Mars Hill High School. The new majorettes will join veterans Jo Cabe, Kay Dixon and Kay Sloan in appearing at festi vals, parades and football games throughout the state. Misses Cabe and Sloan are North Carolina na tives, from Wilkesboro and Bethel, respectively; and Miss Dixon hails from Virginia. coaching staff as one of the best- mannered teams to visit the Mars Hill campus. The Lions had to face one dif ficult hurdle before the Marion contest, however. On Thursday afternoon, October 18, the Hlllian gridders had to square off against the Carson-Newman Jayvees, tra ditionally a difficult foe to face. The Lions have emerged victorious only one time in the past, crush ing their opponents 50-6 in 1956, a year which saw them ranked with the national junior college powers. Most meetings saw no more than three touchdowns scored throughout the game. The outcome of the contest could not be predicted ahead of time, how ever. The Mars Hill grid group now has three remaining contests in their 1962 season. After facing the Marion Institute, the Lions will meet two old WCJCC rivals: Gardner-Webb, on November 3; and Lees-McRae, on November 10. The Lions will especially be seeking to avenge a defeat at the hands of L-M earlier in the sea- Spencer Penland, who lost five teeth and had his nose fractured in the Homecoming game, hopes to be able to return to action soon. Except for Penland, the Lions are in fairly good physical shape and will be at full strength in the re maining few games.

The Lions got off to a strong start, scoring on the seventh play of the game with a 49-yard run by Larry Honeycutt. Don Martin then split the uprights to give the Hillians a 7-0 edge. The col lege band, led by Mr. Wayne Pressley, struck up with “When the Saints Go Marching In,” and the Lions did their best to live up to it. They closed the first quar ter with an 18-yard touchdown pass, Honeycutt to end Boyd Per ry, to give Mars Hill a 13-0 lead. The Lions marched again in the second quarter, covering 63 yards, climaxed by a seven- yard run across the right end by Terry Postel. The kick by Mar tin gave the Lions a 20-0 lead.

While in college Mr. Ezell was a guard and lineback on the foot ball team and ran the 220 in track, while maintaining a B aver age. Both Ezells are avid sports fans. Their interests lie in ten nis, shooting and gun collecting “on a small scale.” Also in trigued by swimming and diving, the coach admits to fancy dives “now and then.” Concerning football at Mars Hill, Coach Ezell says he was disappointed in the boys who quit the team. However, those re maining make up for what they lack in experience with ability, potential, hard work and a good attitude. “Many boys have had to play the entire game with no relief.” He is very optimistic about football at M. H. this year. “We are organizing and seem to be improving in every way.” He summed up his teaching philos ophy this way: “We teach our boys to win, because if we didn’t teach them to win, we would have to teach them to lose.” THE COLLEGE BAND, cheerleaders and majc looked very good on the field during Homecoming. did a good job providing atmosphere and enthusia- gome.
