Page Four THE HILLTOP. MARS HILL COLLEGE. MARS HILL. N. C. May Rain Playing Havoc With Spring Sports Almost daily rain over the last two weeks has severely disrupt ed three of Mars Hill’s major spring sports schedules. Baseball, tennis and track have suffered although golf has not been equally affected. The re sults have been evident in can celled or postponed contests and a general letdown in player en thusiasm. Coach Don Henderson’s base ball squad bounced back from early-season defeats by whipping Emory & Henry 3-1 and followed up two weeks ago with a 3-2 vic tory over Maryville. The team really appeared to be rolling as it took a doubleheader from Milligan on Apr. 25, 2-1 and 4-0; but then the bottom fell out — out of the clouds and out of the schedule. Four games with Concord, scheduled Apr. 29-30, were can celled because of rain; and May 2 and 4 single games with Emory & Henry and Western Carolina had to be rescheduled for Thursday and yesterday (May 5-6). Only three games are left on the schedule; all are next week. The Lions host Tusculum Tues day and Carson-Newman Thurs day and visit Tusculum Friday. In tennis competition the story has been similar. After a shaky start that saw the team lose to Maryville and Western Carolina, the performances of Lion players began to improve. Coach Harrell Wood’s charges beat Milligan twice and whacked Asheville- Biltmore 8-1 while losing to Em ory & Henry 3-5. PE Majors Club Meeting Monday The Physical Education Majors’ Club will hold its final meeting of the school year Monday night (May 9) in the library. A former member of the club, J. C. Moss, who is in his first year of teaching at Mars Hill High School, will relate some of his insights into the profession. Ruby Byrd, who is currently engaged in student teaching, will share some of her experiences with the club members in order that they might be better pre pared for their student teaching experiences. Also, Coaches Dal Shealey and Ron Bromley will demonstrate mouth-to-mouth respiration, us ing “Sussi-Ann,” a dummy model furnished by the Red Cross. A film will be shown on rescue breathing. WRA Progressing Return matches with WCC, E. & H. and Maryville were slated Tuesday, Thursday and yester day. Next week the three final matches of the season are sched uled with East Tennessee State and A-B here on May 10 and 11 and at East Tennessee State on Saturday (May 14). Doug Pickard and Louie Cox have been the most consistent winners for the Lions. Rocky Transou had played only twice prior to this week but won both times. Hampered by the fact that there has been no intercollegiate competition in the sport for two years, the track team has suf fered from rain and wet grounds even more than the baseball or tennis teams. Coach Dal Shealey’s thinclads are showing improvement in each meet, however, despite the fact that they have not yet won. After a smashing defeat by Presbyterian College on Apr. 19, 121-25, the Lions came back to battle Wofford well before losing 48-97. A meet against Concord, scheduled here last Friday (Apr. 29) was cancelled because of rain. That left only two meets on the schedule, at Milligan Tuesday and at Wofford yesterday. Sprinter Bill Dyar was the top pointmaker for the Lions prior to the final two meets this week. He had scored 33 V2 points. Weight- man John Sweatlock was second with 22. Discus thrower Mike Wood, miler Glenn Davenport and middle distance runner Mike Argensinger were next in order with 20, 16 and 111/4, respectively. Dyar had the best time of the year in the 440 with 52.0; Tim Ellmore has bettered 10-6 in the pole vault; Davenport holds the best time in the mile, 4:51.7; and Sweatlock has done 45 feet 6 inches in the shot. *^ommencer *^kend pro kh nostalgii '8ed with a and b ^Pproximai !cted to ] I ®ng 98 B^ N 2 BME’s. 1 Prospective h'se for J r®>nonies a Will be is ’Os immed Rev.

Dual victories over Montreat- Anderson and Asheville School are what the Mars Hill Lion golf team hopes to add to its spring cake next week as the final frost ing. Coach Ron Bromley’s winning linksmen are to meet the M-A and AS teams over the Black Mountain Course Monday or Tuesday. That will wind up the 1966 spring schedule. Without much advance publici ty, this year’s MHC golf squad has zoomed to prominence be hind the excellent playing of Marshall Fall, Bill Deweese, Fred die Day, Skippy Liles, J. B. An derson Jr. and Lionel Caldwell. Matches with Asheville-Bilt- more and Milligan on Wednes day and with Wofford yesterday were too late for results to be included here; however, prior to those clashes the Lions were sporting an almost perfect 13-0-1 record. The lone tie marring an other wise perfect record was a 9-9 total with the University of Tennessee varsity. That was on Apr. 12. With that exception the Lions had run roughshod over seven different opponents in 13 matches prior to this last week. Fall, a junior from Asheville, fired the lowest score of the sea son on Apr. 28 as Mars Hill clipped King College of Bristol, Tenn., 25-2. He shot a 66, just three strokes above the course record. He and Day also had the best team score of the season, a 65, that day. Caldwell, a freshman from West Lawn, Pa., was undefeated in his first 11 matches. Other individu al won-lost-tied records in the competition through May 1 were as follows: Fall 11-3, Day 12-1-1, Liles 13-1, Deweese 13-1 and An derson 11-1. soared.
