Catamounts Are First
Baseball Opponents
The 1965 version of the Mars
Hill baseball team will come roll
ing off Coach Don Henderson’s
assembly line on Monday for a
trial run on the Western Caro
lina diamond. This spanking new
model, with only a few of the
features which sparkled on last
year’s product, will make its
debut on the Mars Hill scene on
Thursday (Mar. 25) as the Lions
take on that same Catamount
team. At that time it is expected
that a number of attractive new
features will be demonstrated be
fore the Lion fans.
Anyone who has visited any of
the team’s practice sessions can
tell you that there are a number
Hit
Practice Field
A good portion of the 1964
Lion football squad plus 10 to
15 newcomers went back to the
practice field Monday to begin
preparation for next fall.
While Coach Henderson has
been devoting his time and atten
tion to baseball, his assistant grid
coach, Ron Bromley, has been
putting the gridders through their
paces. The squad has been prac
ticing outside when the weather
has permitted.
The spring practice, says Brom
ley, gives the coach an opportun
ity to devote more attention to
individual players.
“The fall practice is so rushed
we often times do not fully see
the talents of each player,” he
explained. “Devoting time to the
individual player makes them
work better as a team.”
The spring session also gives
the players an opportunity to dis
play their improvements over last
season; however, some of the
better performers from last fall
— including Danny Shook, Jim
Few, Johnny McLeod and Tommy
Nix — are participating in spring
sports and are missing the spring
gfrid workouts.
The coaching staff has extend
ed an invitation to other students
to try out for the 1965 squad.
Bromley says the coaches are
looking for additional interior
linemen, ends and a good block
ing fullback. Practice is being
held each afternoon, Monday
through Friday.
An intra-squad game has been
scheduled for next Thursday
(Mar. 25).
WRA Cites Ten,
Names Varsity
Ten coeds received awards at
the WRA banquet recently for
their participation in the various
activities of the Association this
year. They were Ruby Byrd,
Grace Carter, Jane Clanton, Bes
sie Cline, Pam Hunt, Sue McCall,
Rosa Pittman, Ruth Smith, Diane
Vaughn and Nancy Morgan.
Sue and Diane were leaders of
the championship and runner-up
teams, respectively, in the recent
ly-ended girls basketball intra-
murals. They were selected for
the varsity team with Nancy,
Pam, Ruby and Barbara. Diana
Coltrain and Shirley Ford were
given honorable mention, and
“Doodle” was named the most
outstanding player.

A seven-match home schedule
highlights this spring’s varsity
tennis program, giving Mars Hill
fans a better chance to watch the
talented team that marked up a
7-2 record last season.
The team began intra-squad
competition this week but will not
have the first of its 11 matches
until after spring holidays. The

of fine prospects who promise to
make this year’s squad an inter
esting one.
After the Catamount game
Thursday, the Lions will take a
break during the spring holidays
and will not play again until Apr.
9, when they meet Belmont Ab
bey on our home field.
Due to bad weather and various
other technical difficulties be
yond the control of the athletic
department, the baseballers were
unable to practice on the diamond
until Monday and, therefore, will
have had only a week’s time to
prepare their batting eyes. This
difficulty has become almost hab
itual each spring for the Mars
Hill teams and has yet to notice
ably affect the Lions’ play dur
ing the season.
By today Coach Henderson will
probably have an idea of what
the line-up will look like, but with
so many rookies on the squad, it
was impossible for him to give
any indication earlier in the week
as to whose faces will be where.
There are eight pitchers to
choose from with Don Love, Dave
Livengood, Charlie Smith, Andy
Good, Johnny McLeod, Danny
Shook, Robert Bates and Ron
Proffit out for the team.
The infield could possibly be
made up of any combination of
the following players: at first
base. Bill Dyer or Mickey Rad-
cliff; at second base, Jim Few,
Freemont Vess, Rick Stevens or
Ken Wood; at shortstop, Ken
Maynor; at third base, Cecil Bar-
ties, Norman Knight or Don Bish
op; at catcher, Roger Banks,
Roger Fox, Dennis Adams, Doug
Elliott or Duff Bell.
Backing these boys in the out
field could be Tommy Nix, Lar
ry Burgess, Bob Wood, Johnnie
Edwards, Dave Edwards, Tom
Worsham, John Williams, Colin
Walz, Don Chiles and Ron Falk.
Lion’s Tale
by Rocky Transou
Cody ranks as the favorite in the current intramural basketball
tournament primarily because of the fine shooting and tough defensive
play of (I. to r.) Mickey Radcliff^ Scoville Roberts, C. J. Goodman,
Howard High and Dan Henley. Felton Stephens, Terry Foltz and
Ralph Fore are also members of the team.
Cody, Treat, Myers Vie For
Intramural Basketball Title
Cody, Treat, Myers and Brown
emerged as the top contenders for
the men’s intramural basketball
championship in games through
Wednesday night.
Cody, undefeated during the
regular season, kept its record un
blemished with tournament wins
over Spilman, 80-43, and Myers,
68-53.
Treat advanced in the unbeat
en side of the double elimination
tournament with victories over
Cottages, 92-46, and Brown,
65-55.
Thus, the stage was set for a
head-on clash of these two power
houses Thursday night, after the
Hilltop went to press.
Also slated that night was a
battle between Myers and Brown
in the once-beaten bracket of the
tournament.
The winner of the Myers-
Brown battle will join Cody and
Treat in the final rounds of the
tournament next week.
Several individuals turned in
sparkling performances in the
early games of the tournament.
Ned Buckner hit 25 for Cottages
in a 46-92 loss to Treat. Dave
Stuart had 22 for the winners.
In Brown’s 77-72 triumph over
the Commuters, Tom Rannie net
ted 30 while Harry Briggs and
Tommy Nix hit 26 and 21 for the
losers.
C. J. Goodman and Mickey
Radcliff led Cody to the win over
Myers with 26 and 19-point per
formances.
In the first game Wednesday
night Rannie again led Brown
with 23 points while Dave Liven
good, Steve Farkas and Jerry
Green kept the Commuters in con
tention most of the way with 16,
14 and 17, respectively. Final score
was Brown 72, Commuters 66.
Kees Auer and Bill Smith bag
ged 25 and 24 in leading Myers
to an 82-76 victory over Spilman.
Earl Roberts had 32 for the los-
