MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA Saturday. October 24^ Lions Stalk Indians The Mars Hill College Lions re turn to Meares Stadium today to host the Newberry Indians after a three game road trip. This is the Lion’s second home game and, more im portantly, is Homecoming. The Lions should be out for revenge since the Indians defeated them 13-6 last year at Newberry. Although Newberry has only a 2-4 record, they have the potential to defeat almost anyone. The Indians are one of the three teams in the tough Carolina Conference that the Lions play this year. A prime ex ample of the explosive nature of Newberry was shown last week in their game with Wofford. The Indians had 20 first downs and gained 255 yards rushing compared to 15 first downs and 156 yards rushing for Wofford and still lost 31-14. Leading Newberry will be fresh man Quarterback Freddie William son. His favorite pass receiver is Woody Hays, a junior from Atlanta, Ga. Hays has averaged 16.1 yards per catch thus far this year. The In dians also have the leading rusher in the Carolina Conference in junior Tailback Donald Garrick. Garrick is averaging 135 yards rushing per game and has scored six touch downs. Even though the Lions have been playing great football this year, they won’t be relaxing for Newberry. As one college official is reported to have said, “I’d rather play anyone but Newberry for Homecoming.’’ Professional Balloonist Offers How-To Seminars “Professor” MacArthur, world re nowned balloonist, has launched his balloons in some strange places: over the Everglades, above the Arc tic Circle, and from a nudist camp.
