A color scheme of red, white and blue was carried out throughout the courtroom. Zeno H. Ponder, chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee, presided at the meeting. Wildcats Defeat Tornadoes In "Mistakes will kill you," was the comment made by Coach John Fisher following Mart Hill s Wildcats' come' from-behind 12-8 victory over the Marshall Tornadoes at Mars Hill last Friday night. For three quarters the Tornadoes completely dominated the game, both on offense and defense. The visiting Tornadoes started the fourth quarter with a com fortable 8-0 lead only to see the Wildcats take advantage of several costly mistakes which resulted in two Wildcats touchdowns for a 12-8 victory. Fisher, making his debut as head coach at Marshall, showed the large crowd that he has a well-balanced team which will definitely be "heard from" this season. He alternated two fine quar terbacks -Jeff Treadway and Ricky Harrill on each play and they were both im pressive. On the other side of the ledger. Coach Roy Ammons' Wildcats showed that they are never defeated until the final whistle blows. Down 0-8 in the final quarter, the momentum changed after Mike Osteen hit the end zone for the Wildcats' first TD. This seemed to perk up the Wildcats. The most damaging miscue occurred in the final period when the snap was fumbled by the Marshall punter and the ball rolled to the Marshall 5 yard line where it was recovered by Mars Hill player. Mike Osteen was again called on by Quar terback Monte Reece and he delivered with the game wmning TD. Both teams missed golden opportunities to score more Marshall in the first seconds of play and Mars Hill in the final quarter. Following the opening kick off the Tornadoes showed they could move the ball against a tough and big Wildcat line. On the first play from scrimmage a completed Tornado pass placed the ball on the MH 19 yard line. Jimmy Ramsey, elusive Tornado back who was outstanding on offense allnlght, carried to the Mars Hill one for a first and gcaL The WBdcat line stif fened, however and threw the' Tornadoes back on the next three plays and on 4th down,.

The scoreless first quarter saw the Tornadoes pick up 36 yards on passes ilnd 34 yards rushing for a x.Ji of 70 aids while the Wildcats managed only two total yards rushing and no first downs. The entire first quarter was played in Mars Hill's territory. Early in the second period the Tornadoes got on the score board when a Mars Hill fumble proved costly as the ball rolled into the end zone, recovered by Monte Reece to give Marshal a safety and a two-point lead. It was midway in the second quarter before Mars Hill moved into Marshall territory for the first time when they made their first down. The half ended with the Tornadoes holding a slender two-point lead. In the third quarter, Boyce Nay hew, Tornado halfback who was brilliant on defense, intercepted a Reece pass on Mars Hill's 36. From there, Marlon Rice and Jimmy Ramsey drove to the two-yard stripe and Ramsey plowed into the end zone for a TD, making the score 8-0. Behind a well fortified line, Rice, Ramsey and Mayhew were the main ground gainers and on defense the stawalds were Rice, Mayhew, Mike Boone, Gerry Cody and J. C. Mcln tyre, assisted by Troy Reid, David Adams and Carlton Freeman. But then came the fourth quarter when the Wildcats, down but not out, started clawing. They got their first big opportunity when a Marshall pass was intercepted at the Tornadoes' 32 yard line. The Wildcats, led by Mike Osteen, Gary McMahan and Mike Thomas, with Monte Reece at quarterback, took advantage of the interception and drove to the five where Osteen circled left end for the touchdown. The extra point failed and Marshall still held a narrow 8-6 lead. I .ate in the final period, on an attempted fourth down punt, the ball was fumbled with players from both teams desperately trying to cover it A Mars HOI player finally covered it on the Marshall 30 and later Mike Osteen went rito the end sone from to I yard Une end Mart Hill had gained a 124 lead which held up untO the final whistle.

One spectator stated following the game that both teams have outstanding talent. "Gosh, just imagine what a fine team we could have with consolidation, and that's not counting Hot Springs, Spring Creek and laurel boys who are bound to further strengthen the team."

He explained that it is now a national ASCS policy that ASCS office personnel enter the farmers designated vendor's name and address on purchase orders prior to issuing them. Under the 1972 REAP, cost sharing assistance averages about half of the cost of carrying out such practices as establishing and kriproving permanent vegetative covers of grasses and legumes, planting trees, timber stand snprovement and practices aimed at the conservation and more efficient use of water. Such practices not only help preserva our soB and water resources they in many in stances help to purify the air and improve oar ecology and environment.
