Scrimmage Tests Lion Team Today
Transfers
Will Help
The 1963 version of the Mars
Hill Lions is due to scrimmage
this afternoon at 2 o’clock and
spectators are welcome. This all-
important session should give
coaches Henderson and Ezell a
pretty definite picture of the
team’s potential strength.
If experience is any indication
of proficiency, the Lions can be
counted on to produce one of the
best teams in the history of the
school. There are 17 lettermen
returning and a host of talented
freshmen. These are bolstered by
several outstanding transfer stu
dents.
Coach Ezell is pleased that vir
tually every line position is at
least three deep in personnel,
many of whom have seen varsity
action. The starting line should
average about 205 lbs. from end
to end. A key element has been
added to the fight for line posi
tions. Coach Ezell is looking for
some “headhunters,” a defensive
outfit that promised to be hard
to contain.
Coach Henderson, beginning his
14th year as head coach here, is
pleased with the fact that he has
a bumper crop of backs. It’s his

this talented and speedy back-
field.
There is no doubt that the
Lions are going to be hard to live
with on the gridiron this fall.
They showed their potential
strength by rolling over four of
their last five opponents last
year.
Mars Hill faces a tough sched
ule but determination is running
strong. The Lions open the sea

Maryville Highlanders. Mars Hill
will be seeking to avenge a 21-0
loss to Maryville from last year.
The Lions will definitely be out
to win this one. Getting off to a
good start could make the differ
ence for the remainder of the
year.
A switch in the site of the
game was made this week. It will
be played at Maryville. This
means the Tennesseans will be
here next year for the season’s
opener in Mars Hill’s new stadi
um.
WANTED
Coach “Hack” Ezell an
nounced this week in practice
that he is in the market for
eleven “headhunters.” No need
for you to go looking in the
Amazon wilds, you’ll find them
here. Under stern and thor
ough practice procedure
Coach Ezell is slowly molding
what could be one of the
toughest defensive units in
small college football. Who are
these “headhunters”? Only
time, hard work, and sheer guts
will tell.
One hint for the interested
public Watch for Red Shirts in
practice. The men who wear
these are already starting a
collection of shrunken heads
marked “Maryville.”
