Page Four MARS HILL N. C. February 10, 196 Lions End with Three at Home In their last three games the Lion roundballers have failed to emerge victorious. Now owners of a dismal 3-16 record, the Lions have four games remaining, three of them at home in Chambers Fieldhouse. On Feb. 13 the Lions take their final road trip of the season, to Milligan College. After that the Lions play King (Feb. 17), Ashe- ville-Biltmore (Feb. 20) and Maryville (Feb. 23). It took seven Maryvillians to overcome the Lions at Maryville, Feb. 3. The Scots jumped off to a quick 16-7 lead then continued to expand the lead to its 12-point, 42-30, margin at the half. Na tionally-ranked Scot forward Bill Padgett had 20 points at the half. Mars Hill came back in the sec ond half with the intent of over coming the Scotties’ lead. The two teams played fairly even for about 8 minutes, and Maryville had a 67-46 lead with 11:47 left. Then the Lions caught fire. Rudy Reeves, aided by reserve Charles Carter, led the Lion charge. With 2:38 remaining the Lions pulled to within one point at 71-70, but were unable to over take the hosts, and Maryville took a win, 78-76. Reeves hit a total of 24 points to lead the Lions. Other players in double figures were Bob Peter son with 12, Jerry Moore with 10, and Charles Carter also with 10. Padgett finished with 24 to lead the Scots. The Lions were swept up by the King College Tornadoes, Jan. 31, by a score of 104-80. Mars Hill started off cold but managed to tie the score at 26- all with the half about half gone. After that King caught fire and moved into a 46-37 halftime lead. King continued to pour it on despite the fine play of Reeves, who netted 19 points and pulled down 12 rebounds. Although Coach Harrell Wood substituted freely, trying to find the right combination, the Lions went down to defeat. On Jan. 27 the Newberry In dians came to town, and the Lions were out to avenge an earlier 116-86 defeat to the Red skins. But vengeance was not to be had as Newberry overcame the Lion threat, 89-81. The Woodmen were down 46-41 at the half, but fought back to a 63-63 tie with 16:20 left. Later in the half, behind Reeves and Mike Hoover, the Lions moved into a 69-64 advantage. After that, Steve Annan hit six straight outside jump shots to sink Lion hopes, as Newberry moved ahead to stay. In double figures for Mars Hill was Peterson with 20 points; Ed die Miller, 19; Reeves, 17; and Hoover, 13. Reeves had 19 re bounds to lead the Lions in that department. Barrett Runs At VMI Junior Russell Barrett repre sented Mars Hill at the Virginia Military Institute Winter Relays at Lexington, Va. last week. Barrett set a Mars Hill indoor record for the two-mile run with a time of 10:21. He placed four teenth in a field of 36. The winner of the event was Bob Dare of Navy, with a time of 9:09. He defeated West Virginia’s Carl Hatfield by a stride. Fur man’s Kim Piersoll was voted out standing athlete of the meet, in which some 30 schools and 700 athletes participated. Freshman Bob Peterson seems to be demonstrating the latest dance step to an amazed Rick Holbrook in a recent Lion basket ball game. Actually Peterson is in the process of making use of some of his fine moves for two more points. Intramural Action Is Varied Men’s intramurals have begun the semester with a flurry of ac tivities, reports student intramural director Dennis Adams. Currently there is action in basketball, handball, and table tennis. Basketball, which started this week, has attracted 17 teams with over 170 players. Games will be played at the heavy pace of four games a night through the tourna ment in early March. Handball has enlisted a large number of participants. Several members of the faculty and ad ministration have entered both singles and doubles competition. There are five divisions in table tennis: men’s singles and doubles, women’s singles and doubles, and mixed doubles. Adams stated that the turnout this year was below that of pre vious years. He attributed the drop in interest to the moving of Deans Named Tennis Coach WRA Basketball Begins Monday The Woman’s Recreation As sociation continues to be active, reports Kitty Fisher, club re porter.

William Deans, director of ath letic promotion at Mars Hill, has been named as tennis coach for the 1968 season, athletic director Don Henderson announced last week. Former tennis coach Harrell Wood will not be able to assume these duties this year due to increased basketball recruiting ac tivity. Deans stated that he is opti mistic about the coming season despite his lack of experience as a tennis coach. “Although our schedule is not yet completed, I feel we can finish with a good record,’’ stated Deans. “We plan ten matches with schools such as Emory & Henry, Milligan, Tuscu- lum, Montreat-Anderson, and one other school.’’ In the initial meeting of the varsity tennis squad, eight pros pects attended, including five from last year’s team. With this nucleus and the rigorous training planned. Deans stated that he hopes to have a physically sound, competitive squad. JXJ.ZZXTTXTZXXXXXTTrTTTTTTXTTZTTTTTXrtXrtTTTXXXXn the LION'S DEN by John Stancil Although our basketball team does not have a record to be es pecially proud of, they deserve a lot of credit. There have been i least four major factors going against the Woodmen all season. Number one, our starting five consists of four freshmen and i junior. These freshmen have had to make the big adjustment college ball while playing experienced juniors and seniors on soB' of the best small college teams in the area. Vol. XLII. N( Second, our schedule has consisted of excellent, but tough coB petition. Three clubs on our schedule have records below .600, atf many are well above that mark. Asheville-Biltmore is 13-4; PeB broke, 9-3; King, 14-3; Washing;ton & Lee has lost one game. Third, we just haven’t gotten the breaks. As it so often is to • club that is down, everything seems to go against them. This year has seemed so to our roundballers, especially the officiating. Commenting on the officials at the recent Maryville game. Goad Wood stated that if such officiating occurred at Mars Hill he woulil be embarrassed and humiliated. Fourth, we have had to look up to nearly every team we haV* played. The team simply lacks height. Our tallest man, Rudy Reeve* is 6’3”. In most games he has had to play against men 6’6’’ taller. Despite this handicap he has averaged 16.1 points and 10.6 re bounds a game since he began play for the Lions. Mars Hill is building toward great things in basketball. Od hard schedule is one indication of this. Rome wasn’t built in a dal and a top-notch basketball team cannot be built overnight. We’'** got three home games left. Let’s support our Lions in those gam** and look to great things in the future. State through Nineteon Games TTL competition from the student center to Chambers. Larry At well is defending men’s singles champion. Holders of the men’s doubles crown are Rick Gaskin and James Thomas. Adams stated that plans are under way to begin soccer intra murals on an all-campus basis. Hopefully this would be the be ginning of a fuller soccer pro gram at the college. In first semester action, Myers leads in the overall competition. Volleyball, which finished up in December, was won by Myers II. They were followed by Cottages II, Melrose II, and Commuters, respectively.
