best player. A senior from Hick

The excellent passing of Young
and the fine catches of Goodwin,
Pearce, Jordan and Pickard kept
the team moving.

Next weekend the Lions will
journey to Jefferson City, Tenn.,
for a battle with the Carson-
Newman varsity. The following
weekend they will tangle with
Wofford in Spartanburg, S. C.
Last week the Lions took to the
road for an Alabama meeting
with the powerful Cadets of Mar
ion Institute. The Lions were
underdogs and Marion proved not
to have been over-rated. The
Cadets drew first blood and led
7-0 at the end of the first period.
In the second quarter the Lions
took to the air and put themselves
right back in the ball game. Bill
Smarr completed a 51-yard pass
to halfback Scott Conner. Then
Smarr found end Dave Liven-
good open and hit him for a 22-
yard touchdown. Buddy Windle
ran the extra point and the game
was tied 7-7.
During the second half the
teams played on even terms un
til the last minute when Mars
Hill's freshman defensive half
back Henry Zion intercepted a
Marion pass and returned it to
the Marion 15-yard line. The
Lions sought to get the ball into
field goal position but time ran
out before the attempt could be
made.
In the homecoming game with
Gordon Military College, Mars
Hill found real estate hard to
come by when even inches would
have meant so much.
The Bulldogs caught the Lion
secondary napping early in the
first quarter and scored on a 65-
yard pass. The extra point try
was good and the Georgians led
7-0.
Mars Hill roared back in the
second period for its only TD.
Tremendous runs by Larry Hon
eycutt and Windle set up the
score and quarterback Jack Reese
sneaked across. Don Martin’s
kick was wide on the extra point.
Coach Ezell's "Headhunfer"
unit, which has improved with
each game, was praised for its
tremendous effort against the
Bulldogs. Gordon was able to
gain only 56 yards on the ground
against the stubborn MH line.
Statistics show Windle and
Honeycutt as the leading ground
gainers with 293 and 265 yards
respectively. Smarr has connect
ed on 9 of 19 passes for 135 yards
and booted 29 times for a 38.3
average. Reese tops the scorers
with 18 points.

SENIORS . . . Tonight will be the last home game
Mars Hill’s first group of senior football players. For mosj
these boys their last football game is just around the cor
The only way they’ll see action after this year will be in
performance of their teams wherever they might coach,
time will come when they will wish that they might returi
the field and participate in gladitorial combat with an
ponent.
WHY? . . . What makes a young man spend untold h
on a practice field carrying out the orders of a coach? Wh.
it that will take a wild thing such as youth and so discip]
that very wildness that it responds like a well-oiled mach:
These, like so many questions are unanswerable. One thi:
certain; each boy will tell you that to submit to the cons^
beating of “knocking heads” and to perform what may on m
occasions be a thankless job you must LOVE the game.
ETERNITY . . . Practice sessions last for an eternity|
first few days. Young men who thought they were repor
in good physical condition find that the work has only be;
There will be endless grass-drills and exercises, a mountai:
plays and blocking assignments to be learned. Precision . .
timing will be improved to an “nth” degree; finally, afteXht 'nd"
erally hundreds of hours of practice there emerges a single 1. Vann
known as a TEAM. How well they have learned those ^
and assignments will be determined in combat with anor**^*^'
similar team which has had to endure the same punishn^^,-,,-,
and learn the same principles.
BUTTERFLIES . . . The hours which precede the gi
are long and grueling. Sleep comes hard the night before S i\C
on the day of the game appetites are something less than d£
able. After spending a day not unlike the moments be:^^®
battle, the hour of the game finally arrives. The ritual of '
ing and taping is dutifully performed. The moment of tP’
has, at long last, come.
KICKOFF . . . The stadium is packed as various
tators have come to enjoy and to sit in judgment of the ef£?^* .
put forth by their respective teams. For four grueling quar*^’^*'^”*
22 men will do battle, each seeking ultimate victory. React'
are automatic now. The hours of practice produce the fhramatiz
of each team’s labors. Quarterbacks pit ability and cunl^
against each other. Signals are called, the ball is snapped Albert
a back looks for the proper hole in the line. The momentner of t
ball is snapped the opposing linesmen meet with the consU the Cri
tion of the strength and ability each individual contains. Slually ev
strength and supreme effort determine whether the defenthe thea
line will crumble before the on-rushing offense, or will 1
its ground. (err, of
VICTORY . . . Somewhere in the space of the nexi>une, hj
minutes one team will manage to push ahead and hold its -hty of
against all attackers. When the final whistle is blown hty of
teams will return to their dressing rooms. One will enjoy'—life i:
fruits of sweet victory and the other defeat; but win, los& its spa
draw each man will return to the practice field on Mori and fl
afternoon and begin anew his preparation for the coming ‘
test.
