Pag© Four THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL. N C. NoveinU pass from Bill ( Bulldog runners test MH gauntlet | Bell for the wn gave Brown e :r Spilman for th 1 football cham Lursday. The Lions and Gardner-Webb Bulldogs growl for meat as they grapple with each other tonight on the Mars Hill High School football field in what may prove to be one of the toughest games of the season. The game will begin at 7:30 with the Lions fighting to even their seasonal log at 3-3. They are currently 2-3, following last week’s loss to Marion. Coach Henderson said he ex pects the game to be as tough if not tougher than the game with Marion, in which players on both sides were injured. The Bulldogs rely on a strong ground game with two of the best runners in Western North Carolina in their backfield. In last season’s two TOUCHDOWN DASH—Mars Hill fans hope to see scenes like this repeated frequently tonight when the Lions battle junior college rivals, the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs, in the next-to-Iast game of the season. This shot, made by LaVern Wright, caught fullback Larry Honeycutt as he sped toward the goal on a 54-yard touchdown run against the Carson-Newman Eaglets. contests the Lions were victorious in the first meeting, edging the G-W eleven 13-12; but the Boiling Springs Baptists took the season finale in a 26-7 slaughter. Last week the eleventh-ranked Marion Keydets of Marion, Ala., edged the independent Lions, 14-7, in the best game of the sea son up to date. After tying the score 7-7 and fighting the Marion squad to a 0-0 duel for the next two quarters, the Lions did not lose until midway through the final period when the Keydets recovered a Mars Hill fumble. The coaches hailed the game as the best of the season and possibly the best of several years. “Had the teams not been in top condition,” remarked Hender son, “it is not beyond the realms of possibility that there would have been some fatal injuries.” After tonight’s game with G-W, the Lions will play host to Lees- McRae in the final game of the season, next Saturday. The Lions basketball squad for 1962-63 has been selected and is now undergoing practice sessions in the gym. An exhibition game against the Asheville-Biltmore Bulldogs will be played in McCon nell Gym at 1 p.m. next Saturday, Nov. 10. Coach Harrell Wood, who sur rendered his football coaching duties to Coach Ezell this fall in order to have more time to devote to coaching basketball, says his team is not as tall as he would like but is blessed with several seasoned performers. Included are “Jabbo” Bennett, Bill Loven, Bill Eure, Mackie McLendon, Dave Beaman, Doug Pickard, Steve Young, Dave Hughes and Manly League. Fresh man prospects include Pat Sams, Hobie Harmon, Lewis Hill and Don Colbert. Scott Conner, Kees Auer and Don Martin will be counted on to join the team after football season is concluded. Coach Wood said. The Lions, who concluded their season last year by winning six of their last seven, have a 20- game schedule facing them, begin ning with Tusculum College of Greeneville, Tenn., on Nov. 30. The team is jumping right into four-year competition, with 16 of their opponents being senior col lege squads. The other four will be with Lees-McRae and Asheville- Biltmore. Coach Wood has been pleased with the team play exhibited by the netters and is particularly im pressed by their skill which, he claims, is unusual for so early in the season.

The group plans to draft its Men 'weighting' to form The Mars Hill weight training club is now being organized under the direction of Coach Haskell Ezell. A gp:oup of interested students has already met twice to make plans for the organization. They intend to set up a committee to draft a constitution and by laws, as well as to elect club officers “as soon as possible.” They are also planning a program to raise money in order to purchase more weights for the college.

There is also a pos sibility that the club will sell sub scriptions to STRENGTH AND HEALTH, a magazine which con centrates on weight lifting pro grams for both men and women. Though there is yet no formal club organization.

They also intend to send several representatives to the state con vention, which will be held in Raleigh on Dec. 6-8. President Hughes urged the co operation of all students who plan to major in physical education and asked for 100% membership in the State Association. He said the club could, with membership vitality, become highly influen tial in student affairs. He was backed in his statement by the coaches, who feel that a club of this type is essential to the physi cal education majors.
