“E” MEN’S CLUB
IS OUTSTANDING.
ON THE CAMPUS
CHRISTIANS STILL UNBEATEN I
IN CONFERENCE STRUGGLES^
Quite a few of the students on
the campus wonder, “What is the
‘E’ Men's Club?” To become a
member of the “E” Men’s Club,
first the athlete must win a block
“E” in varsity athletics, then go
through the initiations prepared
for theni.
The “E” Men’s Club has not
been at Eton since athletics have;
the short time it has been here,
iriias been broken up four times.
Different athletics were being
played here at Elon long before
tlTie "E” Men’s Club was organiz
ed, but soon after, football wa:
introduced it wasn't long before
the club was organized. The ‘ S'
Men’s Club was started in 19U
soon after tlia World War wa;
over, this coming under Coach
Jack John.son, who started ai
head coach in 1916.
In 1919 there were thirteen
mtmbers headed by Coach C. C.
Johnson, by 1920 they had grown
to seventeea members—1021 they
grew to twenty-one members and
also had a new leader, E. S
Johnson—1922 showed thirty-
two enrollment, with W. G. Ston
er leader—In 1923 membership
dropped down to twenty-three,
Wade E. Marlette was president—
1924 twenty-two members were
within and J. R. Barker was
their leader—1925 numbcrin.,
fifteen, led by Archie Braxton—
1926 the club jumped back up to
twenty-seven members, led by
Coi(!on A. Kirkland—1927 led by
t'. J. Allston there were twenty-
six m(‘jiiberu--1928 C. H. Slau.t’h-
ter was leader of twenty-one “E'
men.
The club d'scontinued after
1929, and not until 1936 did it
get back on tlie map, when such
fellow.s as Lawrence Tuck, Joe
Caruso, Hal Bradley, Ben Iltirst.
A1 Mastro, Webb Newsome and a
few more helped reorganize the
‘ E” Men's Club. Lawrence Tuck
was president that year. The club
died down the following year, and
for the fourth time was to be f
s.arted again. (
Came 1939 the club was or-1
ganized again under practic^lyj:
the same men, with John Henry f
Pearce chosen president. 1940 f
Lloyd Elmo Whitley was the boss.|
The club has continued to rurk‘
smoothly since. At the present!
tim.e Jack Boone is pres dent, and I
doing a fine job with present rsc- i
tivities. j

The Christians of Coach Horace
Hendrickson continued their un
defeated ways in the North State
conference when they walloped
the Guilford Quakers and the Ap
palachian Mountaineers two games
each.
In the first Guilford contest a
late rally by the visitors fel.
short and the Elonites chalked
up a 10 to 7 win. Beverly Rog
ers who started the game for
Elon was bothered by a sorr
arm and he gave away to Captain
“Gourd” Longest after two Guil
ford runs liad been registered in
the first inning. After the visi
tors had taken a two run lead
the big bats of the Christians be
gan to bang away at the offeringr
of Parker, the visiting hurler, and
before the game was over thej
had a total of fifteen base-hits.
On two consecutive days -Ihe
Elon baseballers defeated Appa
lachian State by the score of 6-2
and 11-2.
The first game was a pitching
duel Between Tal Abernathy
Elon and Parrish of Appalachian
until Abernathy was injured late
in the game and had to be car
ried from the field. Scores b,.
the Christians in the seventh inn
ing put the game on ice.
In the second game with Ap
palachian the Elon sluggers bang
ed out seventeen hits, three of
which were home runs, to coast
to an easy victory behind the
beautiful pitching of Molly
Craft.
In a return engagement the
Christians went into Guilford’s
own back yard and defeated the
Quakers 14-3. Longest pitc.ied
the victory and received good
backing from his team mates who
rapped t\vo Guilford pitchers for
14 runs.
The Christians won their third
and fourth games from Lenoir-
phyne last Saturday and copped
both ends of a double header 5-4
and 11-4. The Bears scored 4
runs in the seventh inning to
take tne lead 4-2. Poor fielding
and a bad break put across these
runs for the Bears. In the Elon
half of the eight Charlie Masse
drove a home run in the right
field stands. Abernathy took
over the Elon pitch ng duty and
held Lenoir Rh^ ne scoreless ihe
rest of the way. The tying run
came in the ninth.
Hobson lead off with a single.
He ^ent to third on a beautiful
bunt by Daher. Hobbie scored
when Apple, pinch hitting for 'i'o-
-iiancheck, drove a terrific fiy
nto dsop left f.eld; although ;.io
ball was caught, Hcbson tagged
up and scored the tying run. '.,.he
winnin" run fame ,n the tenth,
after Yankoski had readied first
on an infield hit, he stole second.

from Uncle Sam and like it.
Ben Chapman and Roger Cra
mer should give the Washington
club the needed speed and punch
that their outfield has lacked for
the past several seasons. With
good pitching Washington may be
the surprise team of the American
league this season.
After the first ten days of ma
jor league baseball was over it
found the three DiMaggio broth
ers . setting a hot pace with the
stick. Joseph (Yanks) was hit
ting .528, Dominic (Red Sox) .444,
Vincent (Pirates) .400. Maybe it
runs in the family.
CRUISING
Coniinued from Page 3
I what it lacks in talent by hustle
and spirit. Wake Forest appar-
Itntly has the edge in material,
I with only one big weakness loom
ing, a shortage of pitchers. 'Caro-
' Una has presented a balanced,
1 well coached club, but its pitch-
j ing has not been overly brilliant.
1 With Carl Ray on the mound
I the Deacons ordinarily v/ill beat
any five in the state, but Hay
I can’t pitch every game, and ti'.gr’s
where the Blue Devils are liable
to slide in. Bill Mock and Bill
McCahan have been pitching good
ball along with a couple fresh
man. Their hurling has not been
particularly brilliant, but it has
been consistent.
The White Sox clinched _ the
dorm league by defeating the
Publishing House 12-7. The Pub
lishing gained a big lead in the
first inning by pushing three men
across the plate. The Sox tied
the score in the last half of the
first, and picked up four addi
tional runs up in the last half of
the fifth. In the first of the six
the Publishing House tied the
score seven all, but in the last
;ialf of the six the Sox pushed |
five more scores across to fmish
.ne scoring for the game. Ken
Herbert and “Jake’ McDuffie
worked on the mound for the Sox,
while Jim Ferris worked for the
publishing House.
The White Sox set the Fresh
men back for their second dc/eai
of the season, by the score of 7-3.
Dan Barker led the Freshmen
hitting by securing their only
two hits. Yock Malloy led the
hitting of the Sox by gett n^;
three for four. Captain Mitcheh
and Ken Herbert had two for
four.
The White Sox captured the
Dorm league, by taking two wins
from t!ie Freshmen, and one from
each the Carlton House and the
Publishing House. Neither of the
opposing leagues will be able to I
go out in front now as there are I
not enough remaining games to^
edge the White Sex out.
Captain Johnny Mitchell is
now getting ready for the play'
off whieli is set for May 13, 14
and 15th. During the remaining
time he hopes to schedule .sever
al practice games to keep his
boys in shape.
RAIN HALTS GAMES
The Fraternity loop at the time
ihis article was written remains
at a stand still, because of two
important games were rained out;
Sigma Phi and Alpha Pi both un
defeated will clash as soon as the
weather permits. They now nave
two games to make up and the
v/inner of these will step out in
front.
I. T. K. defeated Kappa Psi 5-3:
in one of the best games of the
season. Only two errors were
made during the game one by
cach club. Preston Towns had;
plenty of stuff on his nothing
ball as Kappa Psi only touched
him for four nils during the game.
Lewis Nance for Kappa Psi
pitched a very good game allow
ing, but few, hits.
All postponed games will be
made up in the near future, so
that the play off will be played
at the previous time stated.
Quiet a bit of interest has been
lost, but it is hoped that it will
pick back up as the games are
played.
LET'S HELP
Intramural horse shoes have
not been progressing along so
well because of wet weather, but
it will again resume as soon as
the boxes dry out.
To all of you fellows who have
entered the ping pong tourna
ment please contact your opponent
and get your games played as
soon as possible. The intramural
directors are very anxious to get
this run off, so by playing your
games you will not hold up other
contestants.

THERE’S THE WTND-TJP. And here’s the pitcli—an
inside slant from baseball’s master moundsman,
Cincinnati’s famous “Bucky” Walters:
“My cigarette has to be mild, naturally. Camels
give me extra mildness—and they’re full of flavor.”
Extra mildness —less nicotine in the smoke . . .
28% less than the average of the 4 other largest-sell
ing brands tested. Whether you smoke much or little,
you’ll welcome Camel’s extra mildness and extra
freedom from nicotine in the smoke. Switch to
Camels notv. Smoke out the facts for yourself. The
smoke’s the thing!

YOU’VE GOT the right pitch, “Bucky.” Camel’s costlier tobaccos are slower-
burning. That means freedom from the irritating qualities of excess heat...more
coolness, more flavor. "Ves, and no matter how much you smoke, flavorful Camels
always taste good ... never wear out their welcome.
