E SETS
the LION'S DEN
By John L. Stancil
Whenever a football game is being played, a short visit to the
stands will reveal that there are different types of fans, catagorized
by their actions. I have broken these down into six categories.
First is the enthusiastic “our-team-does-no-wrong” fan. When a
penalty is called against his team, he loudly informs the referee of his
gross error and lack of knowledge of the rules. Conversely, the op
posing team does everything wrong, but the referee doesn’t see these
infractions.
I prefer to call the second fan “if only.” On a pass play, the
end achieves a 98-yard gain. This fan laments the fact that “if only
he had zigged instead of zagging on the 48-yard line, he could have
gone further.”
Fan number three can be labeled “one better.” Assume you have
the all-conference quarterback. He’s good, but you should have seen
Joe Blow from Podunk. He ~was great, but just didn’t get the breaks.
No matter hew spectacular a play comes off, our fan has seen one
better.
Fourth is the “what happened?” fan. He is so busy consuming
popcorn, hot dogs, and soft drinks; socializing; and catching up on
the last play that he misses the plays in the game, and doesn’t know
what is happening.
Fan number five is the statistician type. When Harvey Schwartz
gains five yards, our fan rattles off statistics about average gain per
carry, total yards gained, ad nasueam.
Our sixth fan is in the majority. He comes to watch a good
football game, support his team, and enjoy himself. He is no less
enthusiastic than the others, only more restrained and objective.
In an effort to improve and strengthen the football program,
coaches Don Henderson and Ron Bromley have organized a jayvee
football team. They are being assisted by student coach Larry
Miller. According to Henderson, approximately 76 boys have been
participating in this program. It is felt that by giving the boys more
experience, they can improve and also have an opportunity to work
^ a team.
Among the starting linemen for Mars Hill in last Friday’s game
Were Jerry Strong, Ben Apple, Harold Owen, David McFee, Ken
Murry, and Mike DeBhrul. Starting in the backfield were Tommy
Chapman, quarterback, along with Bob Collins, Danny Balcombe, and
Jimmy Wofford.
Among those leading the defensive unit were David Byers, Terry
Roberson, and Bill Ewing.
According to Henderson, there are several promising freshmen
on the squad. Their next game is scheduled for 4 Nov. against the
Job Corpsmen of Cherokee.

Danny Shook (left), who will start at quarterback tonight for the Lions, will have a choice of three
capable runners to whom he can hand off. Co-capt. Bill Dyar (24) is still hampered by an ankle injury but
will see action. Freshman Allen Baker (25) and senior Henry Zion will definitely play.
Comeback Eyed by Lions at C-N
By Mike Mills
The first of four consecutive
weekend road excursions faces
the Lions as they journey to
Morristown, Tenn., for a battle
with the Carson-Newman Eagles
tonight.
The game was originally sched
uled to be the initial contest on
C-N’s new gridiron; but the sta
dium is still unfinished and the
game has been shifted to nearby
Morristown.
The contest will find Dal Shea-
ley, a member of the Mars Hill
coaching staff last year, coach
ing the Eagle ends. He was
quoted earlier this season as say
ing the C-N offense is capable
of moving against any of its op
ponents, and his statement has
been fairly well borne out. The
team opened with a 20-13 loss
to Western Carolina, followed
with a victory over Emory &'
Cross-Country
Prospects Good
In its initial match the Mars
Hill cross-country team, coached
by Charles Phillips, placed second
in a triangle meet. The 2.7 mile
course was run under rainy, mud
dy, and cold conditions. Asheville-
Biltmore placed first with 23
points, followed by Mars Hill with
36, and Montreat-Anderson with
67.
Despite the defeat. Mars Hilli-
ans have reason for optimism.
This meet represents one of the
best showings in recent years.
This afternoon the harriers of
Mars Hill face the Eagles of Car
son-Newman College, coached by
Dal Shealy. Last year, as track
coach, Shealy brought cross-coun
try to Mars Hill. The only other
match scheduled is 16 Oct. against
Montreat-Anderson at Mars Hill.

Henry and suffered a trouncing
last week at the hands of Jack
sonville State.
After a tough but encourag
ing contest with the Catawba In
dians, followed by a two-week
rest (if daily practices can be
called a “rest”), the fire in the
Lions was partially extinguished
last Saturday night when the
Maryville Scots took home a sat
isfying 17-0 victory.
It was a special triumph for the
Tennesseans in that it was their
first victory in 13 games. They
had gone through nine games of
the 1965 season without a win
and two earlier games this sea
son, which were also losses. Their
final game of an otherwise fine
season, (7-1) in 1964 was a 37-7
loss to Carson-Newman.
The first quarter started with
several exchanges of possession
before the Scots were able to
launch a 62-yard scoring drive.
Quarterback Jim Sullivan ended
the march by keeping the pig
skin and rambling the final four
yards.
Maryville tackle Walt Saz
jumped on a Mars Hill mishap
in the second period, setting up
the second score of the evening.
On the next play speedy tailback
Paul Johnson took a pitchout to
the right, cut back to the left at
the scrimmage line and sailed 16
yards to pay dirt.
Kicking specialist Jim Cannon
booted his second extra point, and
Lion fan enthusiasm shrank as
Touch Football
Action Begins
Touch football inaugurated the
intramural schedule this past
week. According to reports, much
enthusiasm has been shown thus
far. Action in other sports is
slated to begin soon.
The football schedule for next
week begins Monday, 10 Oct.,
with Brown I playing Spilman I,
followed by Cottages II vs. Spil
man II. Tuesday pits Spilman I
against Treat I and Melrose
against Myers II. No action is
scheduled for Wednesday or
Thursday, but Friday finds Com
muters battling Cottages I and
Brown II meeting Treat II. The
first game of each day begins at
4 p.m., followed by the second
at 4:46.
the visitors held a 14-0 halftime
margin.
Rat Week finally came to a
joyous, yet somewhat sad, close
as Bobbie Miller, the new Rat
Queen, was crowned by her prede
cessor, Pam Culler, and warmly
saluted by President Bentley.
Both the Maryville and the
Mars Hill bands displayed pre
cision marching and the halftime
activities ended with a spectacu
lar performance of fiery batons
by the gold-clad MHC majorettes.
The second half’s action was a
story of punts and field position.
Both teams’ offenses experienced
trouble against the opposing de
fense, but in the fourth quarter
the Scotties pieced together an
other score. This one also started
from a fumble recovery by Saz
deep in Lion territory. The ball
had sprung loose when the Lions
attempted a reverse.
The Scots moved as far as
the Mars Hill one-yard line, but
the hard-hitting mountain cats
clawed them back and an illegal
procedure penalty denied the visi
tors another touchdown. At this
point, however. Cannon’s toe
lifted the score to 17-0 when he
booted a 17-yard field goal for
his fifth point of the game.
Mars Hill showed an improved
offense, but it could not jell
against the rugged Maryville line
on the slippery, rain-soaked field.
The Scots employed a balanced
attack of short pass patterns and
hard rushing. Their defensive
secondary covered Mars Hill re
ceivers well, enabling the line
men to catch the Lion passers for
long losses.
Next week the Lions will jour
ney to Athens, W. Va., for the
inauguration of a football rivalry
with Concord State College, the
undergraduate alma mater of
Coach Ron Bromley.
