Page Four MARS HILL N. C. NoTember 23. 196i PGI1(lbrolC0 H0r0 Toni^Kt {CottagesTqpsmVolleyball The Lion varsity hosts the Pembroke Indians here tonight in the third scheduled game of the young season, and the freshmen meet Steed Business College of Johnson City, Tenn. Tipoff times are 6 o’clock for the frosh, 8 for the varsity. Coach Harrell Woods charges lost a high-scoring contest Thurs day night at Bristol, Va.-Tenn., when they were edged by King College 111-107. Three of the Mars Hillians fouled out in that close battle: Reeves, Wilmouth and Johnson. Captain Rudy Reeves took com mand of the Tusculum Pioneers Tuesday night as the Lions de voured their first opponents in an 87-67 contest. To make the opening night even more delightful to a throng of 1800 fans, the freshman team defeated Warren Wilson College 85-800 in the preliminary. With 17:07 remaining in the first half of the varsity tilt, Jim Wilmoth hit a short jump shot to give the Lions a 6-4 lead. That margin was increased throughout the remainder of the game. Reeves played brilliantly as he scored 25 points, grabbed 10 re bounds and made 4 assists. Wil moth collected 15 points, Dick Mazoyer 8, David Brown 6 (plus 12 rebounds), and the “Little General,” Eddie Miller, 11. The second team did well when the starting five weren’t able to. Charlie Carter, forgetting that cagers don’t use a two-hand jump shot any more, collected 10 points, while Mike “Hoov” Hoover scored 8. Bob Peterson had a point and several key rebounds. Tuscumul got the surprise of its life when Rodney Johnson en tered the game, his second of the night. The preliminary victory was highlighted by his 22-point, 13-rebound performance. In the varsity action he scored 3 points and numerous defensive plays. The Lions hit on 60.1% of their shots and 60% from the foul line while amassing 29 re bounds. But for 24 turnovers (instances in which they lost the ball) the Lions might have piled up an even more lopsided score. In the other action of the victorious evening Dave McCrary was the big gun for the Lion Cubs with 23 points and 8 rebounds. Johnson was next, and Prank Hough bagged 14 points. Jim Medford, who sparked sev eral rallies that eventually led to the victory, and 12 points and 9 rebounds. Larry Pfaff and Char lie Orr chipped in 8 and 6 points respectively. The freshmen suffered a set back Wednesday night at the hands of Montreat-Anderson in a game played at Montreat. The final score was M-A 95, MHC 70. Medford led the Cub scoring with 16 points, followed by Mc Cray with 14 and Hough with 13. Johnson had 8. After tonight’s contests the varsity has six games before the Christmas holidays; the freshmen, 3. The varsity’s two home games included Asheville-Biltmore on Dec. 3 and Campbell on Dec. 9. All three of the freshman games, Dec. 3, 5 and 9, are at home. They are against an alumni team, Montreat-Anderson nd the West ern Carolina Kittymounts. Rudy under the basket—this was a familiar scene in the opening game Tuesday night. Time and again Rudy Reeves, the skillful, ag gressive senior, battled through a host of orange jerseys to pop in two points. For the night he had 9 field goals and 7 out of 8 free throws for 25 points. His continuous harrassment of the Pioneer forwards caused them to miss shots repeatedly and throw the ball away frequently. His coolness under fire gave his teammates a cer tain stability even though they played a “run and shoot” type of game. Shealy Recruiting With his eye on Mars Hill’s re turn to football competition next fall. Coach Dal Shealy has been scouting far and wide this season, trying to recruit good team pros pects for ’69. As a result, he is having on campus this weekend 34 top gridders from throughout the area. This does not mean these play ers are definitely coming to Mars Hill, but it does Indicate mutual interest on their part and that of the coaching staff. The prospective Lion gridders include Kenneth Bowers, guard, and Joe Lee Hill, end, both from Hart County High School in Hart well, Ga. Six boys from Knoxville are in the group. They include Donnie Smith, running back; Steve Wy- rick, quarterback; Stan Perry, fullback; Bob Lund, guard; Mitch Burnett, tackle; and Jim Davis, halfback. A delegation of 12 prospects from Lees-McRae Junior College is headed by two junior college All-American nominees. Guard Bill Martin was a first team All- American in 1967 and is a nomi nee for the honor again this sea son. Teammate Marvin Parrot, quarterback, is the other A-A nominee from the Bobcat squad. Others on the Banner Elk squad are end Bill Miller, defensive back Bob Lively, running back Ricky Ard, end Dennis McGaha, fullback and placekicker Richard Riley, gurad Jim Morrison, tackle Gene Stee, defensive backs Gerald Whit ley and Tom Kirk, and tackle Gerald McGowan.

Cats Win Crown A strong Western Carolina cross-country team placed first, second, fourth, eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh for 24 points and the District 6 NAIA crown in the meet run here Nov. 9. Terry Helms of WCU set a course record of 25 minutes, 47.4 seconds. He was followed closely by teammate Ned Jones with a time of 25:48. Appalachian was second in the meet with 43 points (low score wins). Mars Hill, Vorhees and Benedict followed with 91, 104 and 121 points respectively. Twelfth place was the best any Lion runner could do over the four-mile course; but Fred Tippit ran his best time of the fall sea son, coming in 14th among the individual competitors.
