Page Four MARS HILL, N. C. 4 February 19( Balance Is the Key Balance is the key to the ulti mate success or failure of this year’s basketball team. Through 11 games, the Woodmen had five players hitting in double figures. Bob Gibson was leading with a 14.8 points per game average. He was followed by Randall at 12.3, David Webster at 12.2, Bill Ken ney at 12.0, and Bill Gibson at 10.9. Coach Harrell Wood stated that he is pleased with the pro gress the team has made since the Christmas break, losing only one game through 1 Feb. That one loss since Christmas came against Pembroke on their home court 27 Jan. The Lions got off to a slow start, and Pem broke jumped off to a 17-2 lead. The Lions fought back, but were down 43-31 at the half. The second half was played on fairly even terms with the visitors out- scoring the hosts 60-49, giving Pembroke a 92-81 win. Kenney led the Lions in scoring with 19 points. He was followed by George Scruggs with 13, Ran dall with 12, and Webster with 10. Joe Gallagher led all scorers with 30 points. Pembroke hit 82 percent from the free throw line. The Woodmen had to come from behind to defeat the St. Andrews Knights 28 Jan. In the opening minutes of the game, St. Andrews hit everything they threw at the basket and held a 45-41 half-time lead. Mars Hill fought back in the second half to overcome St. Andrews and take a 102-85 win. Bob Gibson led the visitors with 18 points. Also in double fig ures were Randall, 14; Webster, 13; Bill Gibson, 12; and Kenney, 10. Droudy led the Knights with 29 points. This win gave the Wood men a 6-6 record on the season. On Thursday, 2 Feb., the Lions traveled to Emory, Va., to face the Wasps of Emory & Henry, and were defeated 104-89. This greatly hurts Mars Hill’s chances for a winning season. Tonight the Lions are at home against Maryville College. Fol lowing this game, the team plays powerful Wofford College Mon day, 6 Feb., and the Bulldogs of Asheville-Biltmore the following night, 7 Feb. Both games are scheduled at home. The Woodmen will he out to avenge an earlier 84-64 loss to Asheville-Biltmore. Saturday, 11 Feb., the Moun tain Lions invade Pikeville Col lege. Pikeville has lost only two SEE US FOR YOUR VALENTINE FLOWERS roses carnations pom poms potted plants ALSO: beautiful Valentine cards You Call For It We Have It MARS HILL FLORIST games this season and is ranked fourteenth in the NAIA. A return game is scheduled against Wof ford 14 Feb. at Wofford. The Lion’s next foe is Maryville, 18 Feb. on the road. The final game of the season is scheduled here against the Wasps of Emory ,& Henry. That last game with Emory & Henry, originally scheduled for Saturday, 25 Feb., has been re scheduled for Thursday, 23 Feh., in the Mars Hill High School gym. Coach Wood announced Wednes day. This change is being made because Emory & Henry refused to play MHC in McConnell Gym nasium. E & H Coach Tony Mandeville said they would play the Lions anywhere except Mc Connell. WRA Planning Banquets . . . To the Sports Editor: In recent home basketba games I have been distressed I the behavior of the student hoc in general. Apparently, few fai realize that cheering or not chee. ing at the proper time can mal|0 a difference in the team’s pe__ formance. The most glaring of these ficiencies occurs during frj throws. When an opponel shoots, the gym reverberates wil shouts. It is a fact that silen(| will unnerve a player more qui ly than wild shouting. Try it the next home game—^be uttei silent when our opponent shootj Chances are he’ll miss more thi| usual. CH will Firin zine deba phy’ liam THE Februa The WRA, a campus athletic organization for women, is pres ently making plans for the two upcoming basketball and football banquets. The association has also voted to present cups to WRA standouts this year during the spring banquet. Basketball intramurals began recently, and anyone interested in playing should contact a PE major. The times individual teams play will be printed in “The An nouncer.” Slimnastics and gym nastics meet Fridays at 6:00 in McConnell, and Arts and Crafts meet Tuesday at 4:00 in Fox. Anyone interested may attend. Girls who have participated in intramurals are asked to keep a record of points earned through out the semester. Copies of the point system will be distributed in the dorms. Those needing ad ditional information should con tact Caroline Pond. A concession stand, sponsored by the WRA, will be operated in the lower gym during basketball games. Copies of blue books con taining information about the team and individual players will also be sold. These books help in sponsoring WRA trips and activities. Freshman Donald Suggs attempts a shot from the corner in Mars Hill’s recent game with the Milligan Buffs, only to have it blocked by a Milligan player, as dumbfounded Mars Hillians look on. Another failing on the part | our fans is coordinating cheei* with the action. When we haV the ball, “go - go - go” is all riglg but when the opposition has “get that ball” is more appropj| ate. We’ve got several home gaml| coming up, so let’s go out Intramurals Bustling support our team. —Name withheld by reque£« Intramurals welcomed the new semester with a pick up in ac tivity. Recent or near future ac tion includes basketball, volley ball, ping pong, and free throws.
