April 11, 1970 MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA Page TennesseeTaylorTacklesTeam Rw**' +a- m Assistant Coach Harold Taylor, 29, moved up to the top gridiron post at Mars Hill College Friday, March 27, when college president Dr. Fred B. Bentley appointed him head football coach. Taylor replaces Dal Shealy who formally resigned Friday, March 27, to take over head coaching duties at his alma mater, Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City, Tenn. Dr. Bentley said he and Shealy met late Thursday night with some 25 of the school’s football players. The remainder had left for spring holidays. Shealy told the players of his decision to leave, and the play ers voted unanimously to support Taylor as Shealy’s replacement, Bentley said. Taylor, a native of Rockwood, Tenn., joined the Mars Hill athletic staff last fall as backfield coach and physical education instructor. He was a teacher and coach at Mars Hill’s spring sports seem to have fallen into the bog of cold temperatures and wet grounds. As the weather begins to cooperate, sports for every taste will be of fered by our warm weather athletes. Coach Jones’ tennis team is com peting in 16 matches, the first of which was here last Tuesday with Wofford. The main Mars Hill “racke teers” include four returning letter- men: David Teague, Ollie Overton, Bill Pegg and Bob Brown; Jeff Wyatt and Wayne Morgan are also members of the team. Rounding out the team are Soupy Campbell, Bob Bridges and Bill Timberlake. The presence of those lettermen and the strong showing of Wyatt and Mor gan places Mars Hill on the district contender list. Don Henderson and the Lion diamondmen have had their 23- game schedule somewhat hindered by rain but there is hope that more than last year’s 12 games can be played. Three of the first five games were called due to wet grounds. The Lions dropped a pair 6-0 and 5-1 to Newberry on March 18, due main ly to an inability to bring the men in scoring position home. This, added to more errors than a team can manage, finds the Lions 0-2 as they prepare to meet Baptist College on April 18. The hitting of team members Taylor, Fisher, and Ben Kincaid will be a sustaining boost in the remaining 18 games. Captains are Eddie Miller and Dick Mazoyer. With the obvious plus of hurdlers Jeff Davis and Bill Britton, coupled with some untested field strength, the track team promises an inter esting season. Seven dual meets, a triangular meet, and some relays at Davidson and Wofford are on this spring’s sports’ agenda. Track tri-captains Gary Lawing, Morris White and Butch Palmer were among those cindermen who at tended the soggy Furman Relays on March 20-21. Mars Hill Has Make-up Job A long-awaited face-lifting for the town of Mars Hill is moving to wards reality. Planners and architects from the Tennessee Valley Authority will meet with town officials, merchants, and interested citizens at 7 p.m. Tuesday (Apr. 14) at the Commun ity Center to discuss the matter. Recommendations for improving the downtown area have been de veloped under TVA’s “Operation Townlift” program in cooperation with the local board of aldermen, the Mars Hill Planning Commission and college officials. (The college owns several of the downtown build ings.) The recommendations suggest improving store fronts, streets, side walks and providing better parking and improved traffic circulation. Implementation of the “Operation Townlift” program will begin later this spring with a town-wide “paint- up, clean-up, fix-up” campaign. the Mars Hill College Hillrop Editor-in-Chief Linda Baldwin Managing Editor Terry Kuykendall Feature Editor Sam Wallace Advertising Manager Gary Singleton Proofreaders Connie Cauble, Rick Garrison, John Ulmer Typists Chris Pierce, Frank Farrell Linda Ritchie, Karen Cummings Circulation Manager Jim Hayes Photographers Ken Stephens, Joe Franklin Dana Hale David Shores Richard Sparkman Fred Spitzoff Harry Quiett Nannette Payne Ed Robinson Second-class postage paid at Mars Hill, N.

Taylor is also an alumnus of Car son-Newman where he played quar terback, tailback, wingback, and de fensive cornerback during 1963-66. He earned a master’s degree from the University of Tennessee in 1969. Taylor will coach full-time and will not have any teaching responsi bilities. Spring Sports Teams Thawed and Ready To Play Coach Harold Taylor expressed the highest expectations for the Lion gridders in the coming sea sons. He stated, “I don’t see how we can lose with the boys we have.” Coach Taylor also noted that the recruiting for the ’70 season was coming along as expected. Several new teams will be faced by the Lions this year. They are Randolph-Macon, Ashland, Va., Em- ory-Henry College, Va., and Presby terian College of South Carolina. According to Coach Taylor many applications for assistant football coach have been received from as far away as Maine and Georgia, but no one has been named yet. Mars Hill College football may re main independent, according to Coach Taylor, for several seasons. He explained that Mars Hill would like to enter the Carolinas Confer ence but that the Conference had shown a lack of stability lately. He said, however, that if the situation in the Carolina’s Conference im proved in the near future. Mars Hill would possibly enter It. Shealy, 32, came from Carson- Newman to Mars Hill in the summer of 1968 to rebuild the school’s foot ball program. The school sat out intercollegiate competition during the 1968 season after the trustees first voted to drop the sport and then voted to reinstate it for the 1969 season. Shealy had been on Mars Hill’s coaching staff and fac ulty in 1965 and left in 1966 to be come assistant football coach at Carson-Newm.in.

Dal Shealy has estab lished a football program here with a solid foundation and I don’t plan to make any major changes. My wife and I feel fortunate to have this op portunity and we plan to carry on the spirit and enthusiasm that Dal established.” Madame Editor: Dramatic productions at Mars Hill are never reviewed. They should be. All college newspapers do who have someone qualified to do so. Anyway, a New York-based critic did mail to me a review of Miss Jarvis’ production of “The Boor”, one of Chekhov’s best one-acts. He wrote: Dear Mr. Hansen, I don’t do this sort of thing as often as I should, but It was Imper ative for me to write you to say how much I relished your absolutely brilliant portrayal of Smirnov, which I saw last Saturday night as a guest of Allen Kirk.
