Page Four THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, N C. Febr New Look Lions Show Spark, Dri Battle ETS Freshmen by TOM HALYBURTON The Lions make their third start of the week tonight when they tackle the East Tennessee State freshman squad at John son City. They battled Milligan Tuesday and Emory & Henry last night. Faced with a schedule of sen ior colleges for the first time, our players have come together as a real team. Important vic tories of late have boosted the record of 5-7 (not counting last night’s tilt) and should serve as a warning to remaining op ponents that the Lions will be tough. Frequently players be come really molded into a unit by midseason and do outstand ingly well toward the close of the race. A look to the future shows the Lions will face two teams they have already beaten and three other capable squads. High scor ing will be an important factor, and MHC has several capable of just that. Dave Hughes, Don Martin and Bill Loven are lead ing the pack with Jabbo Bennett running a fast fourth. Through the game with Milli gan, Hughes had 134 points, Mar tin 135 and Loven 132. Bennett, who has been seeing more action lately, is moving up; he has 93. The recent loss of Scott Con ner. Doug Pickard, Dave Beaman and Bill Eure has hurt the team, but there is still plenty of power to carry the Lions to a winning season. Since the semester break, Loven and Steve Young, center Martin and guards Hughes and Bennett have been the start ers with help from Mackie Mc Lendon, Pat Sams, Don Colbert, Kees Auer and Manly League.

What of the record to date? A casual observer, merely looking at the scorebook, might feel the team has been only fair or per haps inept; however, no team can show the spark and hustle the Lions have and be consid ered less than good. Bill Loven Dave Hughes . Basketball team and campus personalities Spilman Bachelors Add Prowess To Lion Squad To most students this year’s basketball team co-captain needs no introduction. At 6-1 and 170 pounds Dave Hughes has been one of our most effective players and sports an 11.4 average, tops for the team. A junior, he attend ed MHC in ’59-60 and ’60-61, when he was co-captain, as well as outstanding at guard and for ward. Last year he worked for Carnation Milk Company and scouted high school games. From Frank, N. C., Dave is a physical education major and president of the P. E. majors’ club. He has maintained a B minus average while in college. Dave enjoys playing basket ball for Mars Hill. In the off season and during the summer he takes pleasure in water skiing and stock car racing, as well as ception. A layoff, such as that caused by exams, can really hurt a team. Realizing this, the play ers gave up their between-terms break to continue workouts and to play two practice games. They topped the Asheville Jaycees 72- 61 but dropped an 88-94 decision to a Lenoir all-star squad. A math major. Bill has kept a B average while playing basket ball and baseball. At 6-4 and 180 pounds, he continues to be an ef fective player as well as a re spected student and personality. The remainder of the schedule (after tonight’s game); Feb. 11, at A-B; 15, William Jennings Bryan University here; 16, at Western Carolina (frosh); 21, at Emory & Henry; 22, at Bryan U.; 23, at Maryville.

Bill Loven has proved to be one of our team’s greatest as sets. A sophomore, he has shown to all observers that he helps to make the Lions the potent team they are. His eye-catching shoot ing motion (“often imitated but never duplicated”) has been ef fective enough to maintain an 11.0 average with a 22-point high game.
