Page Six MARS HILL. N. C. December 2, 1967 Pembroke Here Tonight The Lions have a busy sched ule between now and exam time with five games. Four of them are on the road. Last night the Woodmen played host to the Camels of Campbell College. Ee- sults will be carried in the next issue of the Hilltop. Tonight the Lionmen face the Braves of Pembroke College in their last home game until Jan. 20. The Braves are strong again this year with Joe Gallagher back from last year’s team which com piled a 20-7 record. Lacey Gane, Pembroke coach, stated that his prospects are bright this season. After tonight’s game the Lions go to Wofford, Asheville-Bilt- more, and Erskine on Dec. 5, 7, and 9, respectively. Wofford was 21-10 last year and has five start ers returning. A-B has already topped the Lions once this season, 86-72. Erskine, 15-10 last year, is rebuilding this season. Then, on Dec. 12 the Lions go to Greeneville, Tenn., to take on Tusculum College. The Pioneers had a 12-11 season last year. Coach Pat Vinson has had to start from scratch this season due to losses from last year. Duke Mentor Praises Dyar Bill Dyar, Mars Hill’s represen tative to the first annual Sudan Temple, EasLWest all-star foot ball game in Raleigh last Satur day, won high praise for his per formance. Duke Coach Tom Harp, who was the head coach for the West team, asked Dyar to play line backer although the Mars Hillian had never performed in the posi tion before, either in high school or college. With customary cooperative ness Dyar said he would fill the position. He played it with such skill that the Duke coach later asked him if he were sure he had never played the position before. Despite his team’s 10-7 loss. Harp was so impressed with Dyar’s per formance that he came to him and gave his enthusiastic personal con gratulations after the game. Dyar did get in on one series of downs with the offensive unit as a fullback, but he spent most of the game with the defense. A 20-yard field goal by Elon’s Perry Williams provided the win ning margin for the East. In teh closing minutes of the second period the West rolled from its 43 to the East 7. At that point, however, a penalty pushed the West back and time ran out be fore they could attempt a field goal. At the closing of the game the West tried desperately to grab a victory. Led by Davidson’s quarterback Jimmy Poole and Duke’s Frank Ryan, they drove to the East 12. Three passes fell incomplete and the East took over with only nine seconds remaining. Neal Hughes of East Carolina was voted the “Most Valuable Player’’ by sports writers and an nouncers covering the game, which attracted a disappointing crowd of only 7,100. Proceeds from the game will go to the Shrine Hospital for Crip pled Children in Greenville, S. C. the LION'S DEN By John Stancil “Whadda we want in ’68? Baseball! Baseball!” could very well become the next battle cry of Mars Hill students. Yes, there will be a baseball team called the Mars Hill College Lions; but the average student should consider himself quite for tunate if he sees them in action even one time. For this we can thank Campus Planning under the direction of Mr. Bryson H. Tilson. When Spring rods around next semester, Mars Hill will boast brand-spanking new tennis and handball courts. There will be no baseball field at all. The baseball diamond should have been completed before work on the tennis and handball courts even began. There are six other good tennis courts on campus. Lack of the new courts would not hamper varsity tennis. Chambers Gymnasium boasts two handball courts — enough to get by on until later. We have no other baseball field. As a result Mars Hill will have two alternatives if we are to field a baseball team next spring: (1) We can play an en tire schedule consisting of noth ing but road games; (2) We can play games on a nearby high school field. The closest accept able high school field is at North Buncombe in Weaverville. One does not have to be an expert to see that the choice is between two undesirable alternatives. Another problem confronting baseball Coach Don Henderson is where and when to practice. Stu dents do have to attend classes, so time is not unlimited — it is at a premium. When practice time is normally limited anjrway, it hurts doubly when half of the available practice time is taken by travel. If Campus Planning had used a little foresight, this deplorable' situation would never have oc curred. The field could have been landscaped before school was out last spring. The grass could have been planted during the summer, and the field could be ready for baseball in Spring ’68. It looks as though there is “little” planning going on in Campus Planning. PE Majors Attending Meet Members of Pi Sigma Phi, the physical education majors club, are attending the North Carolina Association for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation conven tion this week at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Approximately 32 persons from Mars Hill left Thursday for the three-day convention, which con cludes today. Mars Hillians are in the lime light. Miss Virginia Hart, who has been president-elect of the NCAHPER, became state presi dent and Bill Dyar concluded a term as president of the student section . In their regular November meeting, the club members ap proved a revised constitution. One major change grants honorary membership to all former mem bers who have graduated. After the business session the members heard Dr. John Hough, head of the Department of Edu cation; and Mr. Gilbert Lance, principal of David Millard High School in Asheville and a Mars Hill alumnus, speak on the topic “Responsibilities of the Student Teacher to the College and to the Public School.” Where were our cheerleaders MARS HILL SHOE SHOP Keep Your Shoes Looking Bright Under Robinson Furniture Store Lions Win Consolation In A-B Tournament Basketball captain Jerry Moore (center) proudly displays the trophy given the Lions for winning the consolation game in the Asheville-Biltmore Tournament. Looking on are Larry Goodwin, who was named winner of the tournament’s sportsmanship award, and Coach Harrell Wood. during the A-B Tournament? From what I am told, they did not have money in the budget to make the two trips to Asheville. With school spirit as bad as it is, the cheerleaders should be look ing for ways to improve it, rather than searching for excuses for not being at ball games. The Mars Hill Lions played in the Asheville-Biltmore Tip-Off Tourney, Nov. 24-25, and emerged with a win in the consolation bracket. Larry Goodwin, fresh man from Canton, received the sportsmanship award for the tour nament. The team received a tro phy for its consolation win. In the opening round Friday night, the Hanover Panthers set a tournament record for points by beating Milligan 103-74. Mark Gabriel was high man for Hanover with 30 points. In the second game that night. Mars Hill faced Asheville-Bilt more. The Lions jumped off to a quick 4-1 lead, but A-B poured it on and scored 12 straight points to take the lead. Mars Hill pulled up close again due to the fine shooting of freshman Eddie Miller. The Bulldogs were not to be held down, however, and pulled out into a 40-24 half-time lead. The Lions pulled within 11 points of A-B soon after the second half began, but the Bull dogs pulled away once more; this time into a 24-point bulge. Mars Hill, behind the fine shooting of freshman Goodwin and Mike Hoover, then caught fire. It was, however, too little too late. A-B held on and emer ged with an 86-72 victory. Miller scored 18 points, high for both teams. “Red” McElhaney was tops for the ’dogs with 15. On the second night of play Milligan squared off against Mars Hill. The first half was a nip-and- tuck battle with neither team able to keep a lead. MHC was paced by Goodwin, who had 14 points at the half. Milligan led at intermission, 35-32. The second half was Mars Hill all the way. The 'Woodmen came back on the court looking as if they meant business. They racked up 48 points to Milligan’s 30 in the half. Final score MH 80, Mil ligan 65. Goodwin was the pacesetter for the Lions, scoring 23 points. He was followed by Bill Kenney with 15. Charles Cash was high man for the Buffs with 23. In the championship game Asheville-Biltmore and Hanover played a close battle all the way with A-B winning 95-93. Guy Batsel, who scored 37 points against Hanover, was named Most Outstanding Player in the tour nament. In their opening game of the season, Nov. 23, the first to be played in Chambers Gymnasium, Mars Hill was defeated by the taller Augusta College Jaguars. The final score was 84-61. The Lions were never in the game as Augusta jumped off to a quick lead. The Jaguars ex panded their lead to a 40-26 mar gin at the half. In the second half the Lions looked somewhat better, but Augusta stretched its lead to a 23-point victory. For the Lions it was mainly a case of first-game jitters and lack of height. Augusta out-re bounded MH by 53-31. The Lions were outshot 52 percent to 41.4 percent from the floor. Top man for Mars Hill was George Poston with 12 points. He was followed by Goodwin, who poured in 10 more. VoL XLIL Four New A grant Wade to M Z.
