MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA
Saturday, September 12, 19^^
Lions Leap To Panthers’ State
Mars Hill College kicks off the
1970 football season at 2 p.m. Satur
day, September 12, against Glenville
State College at Glenville, in north
ern West Virginia.
Coach Harold Taylor said that
he has “an abundance of talent and
a fine team spirit”, and that these
are the “hardest working guys he
has worked with”.
Mars Hill offense will be lead by
offensive captain Marvin Parrott.
Last year Parrott quarterbacked the
Lions to a six and four season. In
the backfield with Parrott will be
fullback Randall Phillips and half
backs Dennis Stokes and Jeff Davis.
The starting wide receivers will be
Bill Tom Britton and freshman
Johnny Dawkins. The Interior line
will consist of tackles Mark Cone
and Mack Byrd, guards Bill Martin
and Lane Parson and center Joe
Hyatt.
Gerald Whitley, who intercepted
seven passes last year will return this
year as defensive captain. In the
backfield with him will be Gerald
Price, Dennis Hefner and either Gary
Findley or Kenny Ferguson. The de
fensive line will be tackles Stuart
Sutherland and Ted Williams and
ends Jean Radford and Ronnie Mack
Daniel. The linebackers will be Scot-
tie Gorrell, John Fisher and Wayne
Perryman.
Tag Football Kicks
Off Intramurals
On Monday, September 14, the
intramural sports program will be
gin said Coach Ed Shields, head of
the intramural sports at Mars Hill
College.
Any full-time students are eligible
to play except those participating in
Varsity or Junior Varsity collegiate
football. Tag football will be the
first sport this year and will be fol
lowed by basketball, softball, volley
ball, tennis, handball, track, paddle-
ball and badminton.
This year the Intramural cham
pions will be determined by a point
system. Points are awarded to the
winners of each sport. The organi
zation with the most points will na
turally be the champions.
Some injuries have already plaqued
the Lions this year. Right half
back Robert Griffin is out indefinite
ly and Gary Findley has sustained a
knee injury. Bernie Perchinski is also
out of action due to a injury he suf
fered during Derby Day activities
last spring.
Last year the Glenvill State Pan
thers beat the Lions 17-7 on the
basis of a stong passing attack. This
year their offense is lead by halfback
Richard Cain and end Mike Roscoe.
Ron Duncan, a 220 pound guard, and
Gary Ray, a 225 pound tackle add
strength to the offensive line.
The Lions will play their first
home game of the season on Sep
tember 19 when they host the In
dians from Catawba College. Cataw
ba sports a strong defensive line
and a lot of confidence. The Indians
have eight of last year’s starting
eleven defensive players back this
year. Leading the offensive attack
will be senior quarterback Harry
Monokian and halfback Greg Single-
ton. Singleton, a junior from Cam
den, New Jersey, gained 1,001 yards
rushing last year.
The Lions expect to go a long way
this year, but as Coach Taylor said,
“We’ve got to be 1-0 before we can
be 10-0.”
by Mike Harward
As the opening of the football
season daws near the Lions are tear
ing each other apart in preparation
for their match against Glenville
State. Coach Taylor said everyone
was working hard and they had
improved greatly except a certain
Asheville-Biltmore redneck transfer
named Souphie Spangler.
Coach Taylor was expecting much
out of Souphie until the first day of
practice when Souphie appeared on
the field wearing his hip pads back
wards. Souphie said that wearing
his hip pads this way gave him
more protection in front but less
protection in back, however, the
more potection in front was twice
as painful as the less protection be
hind.
Coaches Taylor and Mitchell were
also awed by Souphie’s footwear.
When asked where he got his weird
looking cleets Souphie answered,
“From Bridget’s Shoe Shop.” Neith
er Coach Taylor nor Coach Mitchell
had the heart to tell Souphie that
those little holes in Meares Field
were not made by ladies’ high heel
shoes. We hope Souphie gets his
little equipment problem solved be
fore the Glenville State game.
Souphie has really been working
hard trying to get into the same phy
sical condition he was in at A-B.
Already he has cut down to two
packs of cigarettes a day.
Souphie’s weight training pro
gram was really moving along
smoothly until he was told he was
supposed to have weights on both
ends of the bar he was lifting. To in
crease Souphie's agility he has en
rolled in the Mars Hill Ballet which
meets three times weekly at Spud’s
Roller Rink. Souphie has also en
rolled in an etiquette class in Mar
shall. Now, when he gets creamed,
he yells vey politely.
Finally Souphie got eveything to
gether and appeared on the practice
field ready for action. All his team
mates were shaking for fear Sou
phie might try and take their posi
tions away from them. After much
thought as to where he would be
most beneficial to the team, Sou
phie settled down at the quarter
back position, much to the regret
of Coach Taylor.
So Mars Hill fans, have no fear
for even if the mighty Mavin Par
rott gets injured and even if Walker
Hodges, Larry Brock or any of our
other fine quarterbacks are hurt,
just remember that the spasmodic
Souphie Spangler will be on the
sideline ready for action.
