In what will probably be the

for Hendersonville, the Blue
Ridge gridders will meet the Mars
Hill hgih school team on the To-
cal high school field Saturday al
ternoon at $3.50.
This will be the first game Tor
the Hilltoppers since their victory
over the Charlotte highs on NO.
vember 16, but they have been
far from idle. Practice sessions
have been held daily with heavy
work for all hands. In an effort
to add power to his attack, Coach
Morris is using Gianakos in the
backfeld on offense, and the
change seems to be working well.
He is hard runner and effective
blocker.
The Mars Hill outfit will bring
a strong team which promises
strong opposition for the Rldg-
ians. Their record for the season
is impressive, showing the loss OF
only one game. They won over
Farm School last week 20 to 7.
