With close but telling victories
over Wofford and Carson-New-
man under their belts the MHC
tracksters head for Davidson Col
lege’s Relays today with high
hopes.
“If everyone on our squad
stays healthy, we may surprise
everyone there,” Coach Ezell said
earlier this week.
Some of the best track and
field competition in the South
east will be there, and the Lions
should find out just how good
they really are. After a slow
start in which they suffered a
56-80 loss to East Tennessee
State, they roared back with 65-
62 and 68-63 wins over Wofford
and Carson-Newman.
Biggest guns in scoring for the
Lions thus far have been distance
man Bob Leonard, who has won
the mile and two-mile runs in all
three meets for 30 points; Kees
Auer, weight man who has a first
and two seconds in the shot and
two firsts and a second in the
discus for 24 points; Marshall
Adams, who finished second to
Leonard in each of the mile and
two-mile races and grabbed a
second-place finish in the 880-
run against Carson-Newman for
21 points.
Other leading scorers have
been Tom Gladden with second
place finishes in low and high
hurdle races and broad jump
competition for 18 points; Gor
don McCombs with wins in all
three high hurdles races plus two
third-place finishes in the 440-
run for a total of 17 points; Gary
Goodwin with a victory and two
second-place finishes in the 100-
yard dash and a second in the
220-dash for 14 points; and
javelin thrower Dave Inman, who
won in the first two meets and
placed second in the third one.
Significantly, the Lions have
shown their strength in the hur
dles, the distance runs and the
100- and 220-yard dashes. They
need additional scoring punch in
the mile relay, where they have
not scored at all; in the high
jump, where they’ve totaled only
a point; and in the pole vault.

Baseball Finale
5 Games Away
Three games next week, in
cluding a two-day road trip, and
two the following week will con
clude the 1963 Lion baseball
schedule.
Last Saturday, in their first
action since spring holidays, the
Lions clobbered William Jennings
Bryan University 8-3. Improved
hitting by the outfielders was a
big factor in the win. Five play
ers rapped out doubles. Don Love
started on the mound and Jack
Hughes came on in relief in the
seventh.
A return bout with Maryville
is slated next Wednesday, and a
second encounter with the Bryan
squad in Dayton, Tenn., is booked
the following day. Next Satur
day, May 4, the Lions will tackle
Warren Wilson at Swannanoa.
They’ll meet Brevard the follow
ing Wednesday, May 8, at Bre
vard and will wind up Thursday
against Warren Wilson here.
Wednesday the Lions outhit

tory, but lost Thursday to Mary
ville 1-2.
lew faces among the
staff.
Good form over the low hurdles is displayed by Tom Gladden, MH
freshman from Atlanta. A graduate of Northside High School, Tom
showed his deep interest in track when he paid his own way to partici
pate in the Montgomery (Ala.) Relays during the winter. Since track
season opened here, he has been piling up points in both the high and
low hurdles and the broad jump.
Only Three Matches
Left On Net Schedule
Despite the fact that spring
seems only recently to have
sprung, the Lion’s tennis team is
less than two weeks away from
the end of its season.
