Page Four THE HILLTOP. MARS HILL COLLEGE. MARS HILL. N. May 21,1^1 Banks, Wood, Good Win Baseball Awards ■*- The spring ’66 version of the Mars Hill baseball team conclud ed its action Monday evening at the dinner table instead of on the diamond. The squad held its annual sea son-ending picnic at the home of Coach Don Henderson. In addi tion to putting away plenty of good food, the squad members voted high honors to three of their teammates. Catcher Roger Banks, who batted .370, was named the Most Valuable Player on the squad. Infielder Duffy Wood, a .407 hit ter, was voted the Most Consis tent player; and first baseman- pitcher Andy Good, who hit .262 and beat Western Carolina in his only pitching decision, was select ed as Best All Around. Turning their eyes to next spring, the team members then picked shortstop Ken Maynor, Banks and outfielder David Web ster as tri-captains for 1967. Plagued by rains, wet grounds and lack of the kind of warm weather necessary for best condi tioning, the Lions compiled a 7-3 record in an abbreviated season. Starting slowly, they lost to Judo, Wrestling Likely Additions Two new programs of physical activity for men, wrestling and Judo, will probably be added to the college schedule next fall. Interest in Judo has been shown by eight men, including Ted Taylor, an instructor. They have been meeting once or twice a week in the lower gym for workouts and instruction. The group has asked Coach Harrell Wood about the possibil ity of his being their faculty sponsor beginning this fall, and he has expressed a willingness to do so. “By this fall,’’ says Taylor, “we hope to be well organized. We will offer accident insurance al though accidents are extremely rare in Judo. We will also be able to get Judo uniforms, called ‘gi,’ at discounts; and we will be able to offer belt promotion. “The Japanese word Judo lit erally means ‘gentle way.’ At times the way is not so gentle; nevertheless, it is called a ‘re laxed’ sport. “Judo is not taught as a meth od of fighting or as a method of self-defense. It is a sport to tone the body, quicken physical and mental reflexes and promote a true competitive spirit. There are formalities which correspond to the handshake in the boxing ring or to the singing of the National Anthem before a ball game.” The Judo enthusiasts, who re fer to their meeting place by its Japanese name “dojo,” foresee possible “shiais” or Judo tourna ments with clubs in neighboring colleges, YMCA’s and private or ganizations. Robbie Henley is the chief pro moter of interest in wrestling. He too has discussed the matter with Coach Wood, who reports that he would be willing to work in this area also. Tentative agreements have already been reached with teams at East Tennessee State and Appalachian for competition this fall. Western Carolina 0-4 and to Maryville 2-11. The shutout by WCC was the only game in which the Lions failed to score. Then followed a seven-game winning streak before the Carson- Newman Eagles, defending cham pions of the National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics, beat them 5-2 in the closing game of the season. The winning streak included the following results: 3-1 over Emory & Henry, 3-2 over Mary ville, 2-1 and 4-0 over Milligan, 4-3 over E. & H., 5-3 over WCC and 13-8 over Tusculum. Bad weather forced cancellation of five other games. Eight Awarded Track Letters Eight performers have won let ters in track for 1965-66, Coach Dal Shealey announced this week. Most outstanding of them is sprinter Bill Dyar, who scored 50% points for the season. Other letter-winners and their point totals are as follows: John Sweatlock, 28; Mike Wood, 23; Glenn Davenport, 24; Mike Ar- gensinger, 151/4; Henry Zion, 13Vi; James McBride, 11; and Bill Sparks, 10. The team, which lost its final meet to Wofford 102-43, scored 22714 points during the spring season. Ten new school records were set including the following: hop, step, jump — 39 feet, 8V2 inches; a time of 23.4 in the 220-yard dash and a time of 52.7 in the 440-yard run — all by Dyar.

WRA Campout Rained Inside New town representative on the Council of the Women’s Recrea tion Association is Coleen Jamer- son, who was elected at the last regular WRA meeting. Rainy weather forced a change in plans for the WRA camping trip last week. Originally sched uled at Camp Crestridge at Ridge crest, the “campout” was held in the gym. The coeds attending en joyed playing paddle tennis and jumping on the trampoline or playing basketball until about 10:30 p.m.; then the group as sembled in the lower gym fdr a planning meeting. WRA activities for 1966-67, in cluding possibly ice skating and skiing, were discussed. So inter esting and so exciting were the plannings that the session lasted until nearly 2 a.m. WRA advisor. Miss Virginia Hart, capped the “outing” by fix ing pancakes for the campers for Sunday morning breakfast. In addition to compliments on her cooking she was serenaded with birthday greetings for her birth day Monday.

Skippy Liles (left), assistant director of the program, holds the trophy which will be given to the individual judged as the most out standing player for the year. The final action of the year occurred last week when Myers won the track and field day and “Treat won the softball championship. Golfers Lose Final Match, But Post Excellent Record Rain knocked the surprising Lion golf squad out of its two final matches of the spring sea son, but Coach Ron Bromley’s charges closed the 1966 book with an excellent record of 15-1-1. A 10 V2 to 16^/2 loss to Wofford on May 6 was the only loss suf fered by the Blue & Gold links- men who showed strength and skill in downing opponents throughout the area. The only other blot on their record was a 9-9 tie with the University of Tennessee. Veteran Bill Deweese compiled the best individual record on tbe six-man team, winning 15, losing one and tying one. Other indi vidual records were as follows: Marshall Fall, 13-3-1; Fred Day, 14-2-1; Skippy Liles, 15-2; J. B. Anderson Jr., 14-1; and Lionel Caldwell, 11-3. Fall shot the lowest score of the season, a 66 against King Col lege in Bristol. On that same round Fall and his partner. Day, fired the team’s best ball of the spring, a 65. “The one outstanding quality of the tea m,” says Bromley, “might be that of depth. Many of the team victories were achieved by the higher scoring team mem bers. “From a coaches standing, how ever, I would say the most im portant quality of this team has been its sense of personal pride. The players knew they were placed in the lineup according to their ability and they responded accordingly. “For example. Fall, the team’s f»*»**»************t top hitter, lost only three matches, but he could have been undefeat ed if our lineup had been stacked in his favor. His wins in that case, however, would have been cheap ones against lesser oppon ents and would not have reflect ed the credit he is due as a good golfer. Marshall’s pride always made him want to play the best opponent. “This pride in playing the counterpart opponent avoided anyone being overmatched or un dermatched and brought person al pride to each player and vic tories to the team. “Next year’s squad will certain ly miss Anderson and Deweese, but I am sure there are boys on this campus with the personal pride and the skill to meet the challenge.” Lion Netters Break Even For Season The Lion tennis team closed out a spring season pras by Coach Harrell Wood as excellent job” despite a so-so 1 record. Doug Pickard was voted top player and was presentol| handsome trophy.
