THE HILLTOP. MARS HILL COLLEGE. MARS HILL. N. C.
March 19.
Baseball Opener Set Wednesday
A single baseball game with
Western Maryland College was
added to the Lion schedule earlier
this week, giving the Mars Hill
diamond crew of Coach Don Hen
derson the honor of opening the
1966 spring sports schedule.
The Western Maryland team
will arrive Wednesday and the
season will open at 3 p.m. Single
games with the same team are
also slated Thursday and Friday,
Henderson said. After that the
Lions will take a break for spring
holidays and will not return to
competition until Apr. 9.
Nine lettermen head the list of
talent battling for a starting po
sition, but seven newcomers —
most of them freshmen — have
looked good in practice thus far
and could break into the lineup.
Behind the plate last year’s reg
ular catcher, Roger Banks, will
have help from Bob Gillespie.
When righthander Andy Good
is pitching, Eddie Gainey proba
bly will fill in at first base.
Letterman Cecil Bartles has
been moved to second and is com
peting with Jim Jackson for that
position.
Shortstop seems capably filled
by letterman Ken Maynor.
At third, letterman Duffy Wood
is backed by Everette Shelton.
Dickie Ward, who was a regu
lar on the squad several years
ago, has returned from the navy
and is making a strong bid for the
right field position.
Transfer student David Webster
is in center and letterman Tommy
Nix in left. They will be backed
up by Jeff Cavanaugh and sev
eral other prospects.
In addition to Good, the pitch
ing staff includes lettermen Ron
Ward and Jim Cooke, both right
handers. Two others look like
starting material at this stage,,
lefty Jim Warfford and right
hander Bob Franklin.
One change in the schedule as
announced in a previous edition
of the Hilltop has been an
nounced by Henderson. The game
with Carson - Newman is now
booked here on May 12.
The full schedule is as follows:
Mar. 23-25 Western Maryland

Apr. 7, but some top-notch trea:
The Lion track team, striving
to re-establish the sport on an in
tercollegiate basis under the guid
ance of Coach Dal Shealey, will
get its first taste of competition
next Saturday at the Florida Re
lays in Gainesville.
After that the boys will take a
break for abbreviated spring holi
days, cutting them a bit short to
participate in the South Carolina
Record Relays at Columbia Apr.
2. Then follow nine other meets
before the season closes in early
May.
An enthusiastic squad, which
has been working out daily on the
new quarter-mile track around
the football field, is looking for
an exciting season. Shealey says
he has some good prospects.
The list includes 440-yard dash
and middle distance runners John
Abbott, Michael Argersinger and
Lewis Baley and sprinters Bill
Dyar, Mackie McFee and Henry
Zion, all football players.
Kees Auer and John Sweatlock
have been improving steadily in
tossing the shot and the discus.
They have intra-team competition
from Ernest Spitzer and Bo Dish-
man.
Jerry Blevins, Gary Parker,
Bob Flournoy and Andy Biro
have been developing their tim
ing and speed in the hurdles.
Biro, along with Tim Ellmore, is
also a pole vaulter.
Joe Bingham, Steve Boone,
Glenn Davenport, John Dyrda,
Bob Massingill and Malcolm Priv-
ette appear to be the best pros
pects as distance runners.
Alfred Wright and Ken Yates
have also shown up well in the
middle distance runs.
Others out for the team in
clude Bill Brann, Bob Collins, Pat
Halyburton, Gary Ledford, Jim
McBride, Jim Purvis, Troy Par
ham and James Richardson.
Butch Young is manager for
the squad.
Shealey has set 16 points as the
minimum requirement for a man
to letter in track. He has insti
tuted a competitive program with
in the squad, giving a man a
chance to move up to a starting
position in any event if he can
successfully challenge the men
ahead of him.
