That year the Wademen took a over-confident trip down South
and met a f(K)tball eleven from Georfiia Tech in their final pune. The
Yellow Jackets handed the l?lue Devils a fi-O uy)set, which kept th(>
latter from enioyina: a undefeated season, and perhaps also receivin”-
its first Rose Bowl invitation. Well, why remind our coach about
that.
iro\\’cv(‘r, from this observation, it a))pears, g;enerally speaking;,
the C'annonade should capture the North St>at( crown for the first
time in nearly a decade as a result of its inspired performance in the
last few sanies. Elon was 1938 co-champion with Catawba.
The fiii'htin^ Christians have accomplished victories over West
ern (^arolina Teachers Colletre, Lenoir Rhyne, North State conference
teams, and also over ilount St. Ifarvs, an intersectional team.
Tn reference4o the srame with the latter team, Elon was playiny;
a favored team, which has demonstrated plenty of nice playing in
past a'ames in its neiji'hhorhood. Prior to last Friday's contest, ifount
St. IMarvs had met only one loss, which was to a strouf;- Western ifary-
alnd team, which edtjed them out by a margin of 24-21. ifount Saint
^farv's wins are over Potomac State and LaSalle, the latter having a
re])Utation of a fine squad in its league.
Elon Better Than Catairha On Paper
As a result of Elons 13-0 win over Lenoir-Rhyne ajid Catawbas
win over Api)alachian, on paper, the HeTidricksonmen ap))ear to be
better than the Indians.
Last Friday niirht Lenoir-Rhyne whipped Appalachian 20-fi un-
tler TTickorv lis:hts, and the score in our triumph over Lenoir-Rhyne
read 13-0, all of w'hich makes matters in the Elon camp appear opti
mistic.
There appears to be little doubt that this is about the most suc-
-essful team Boss Hendrickson has turned out since he took over the
•mentor duties in 1937. 1038 proved to be a fair year when Elon was
Co-champion with Cataw’ba. Elon lost games that year to Wake
Forest, V. T’. I. and Catawba.
Tf the Christians, as is expected, bowl over the Panthers of High
Point this week-end, they will face Cataw'ba next Friday on even
terms. Catawba goes out of the conference this week-end to play
Wofford. •
of three con-
t';e iMith ('oast Artillery (AA) re
giment—it meant a chance to play
against his alma mater, Eloii Col
lege, Elon College, N. (X When
that game was removed from the
schedule it broke Y^onkowski’a
heart, it made hard afternoons of
vigorous practice pointless and
what's -more it removed all the
interest that Yonkowski had in
ioothall. He is handing in his
suit.
Some l)oys play f(X)tball for
shet'r love of the game, others re
gard it as a great lH)dy builder,
still others here go out for the
team Ix'cause it gets them out of
some afternoon chores, but up un
til now no one has become a foot
ball candidate here for the sole
reason of playing against their
college's eleven. Corporal Yon
kowski went out for the cam])
team for that reason and that rea
son only.
The camp eleven had already
opened its season when Yonkow
ski learn(“d of the scheduled game
with Elon and decided to try for
the team. He worked hard at
prateices and whipped his body
into shape. He got into a few
games and seemed headed for a
major assignment against Elon
before the game was cancelled.
When he heard the news he was
heartbroken and he admitted there
was no longer any goal on the
gridiron for him. He told the
coach he wanted to cpiit the team
and intends doing so, but the foot
ball men here have been given spe
cial privileges and Yonkowski’s
services are sorely need(>d so he
may be perstiaded to remain
William Palantonio Is
Ruled Inelegible Player
William Palantonio, .star 20S
jxuind guard from Wayne, I’a.,
was ruled inelegible for North
State (’ont’erenee participation at
a meeting of the conf«‘rence heads
held in Salisbury Thursday night.
Bill was technically three days
late for rf'gistration. A peri(Ml of
two weeks is allowed for such re
gistration after the 0|)ening date
of school. 'I’his has long lK:en a
conference ruling, but at a meet
ing last DecemtMT it was decided
to apply leniency to cas(« soncern-
ing the draft. Palantonio’s late re-
ture to school was caused by a rul
ing of the draft board in his home
town.
Simon .1. Marion, of Lenoir-
Rhyne, for years commissioner fer
the North State (\mferen«; had
previously refusel to rule Palan
tonio inelegible. However despite
llarion’s decision and the ruling
last DecoTnber to apply leniencv
to draft cases, the commissioner
was over ruled in this decision
Thursady night by a 4-3 vote. At
lantic (’hristian, ('’atawba, Guil
ford and High Point voted against
the commissioner’s ruling. Zilu-
rion's resignation followed.
Kill was elegible for participa
tion iji the game against High
Point'last night, but he was not
played. R. Hinshavv of iligh
Point was (‘lectcd to suec(‘ed .Ma
rion as conterence commissioner.
The in-eles'^bility of Palanto
nio, All-C(mfercnec, guard will be
greaty felt by the Elon Christians.
Palantonio hiis be“u a major key
in the Cannonade’s victorie.s so
far t';is year, and had been count
ed on heavily for the im(K)rtant
tilts on schedule for the Christ
ians.
Elon Eleven Shows Fans Some

Saint Marys’ f(X)tball eleven of
Enimett.sburg, Alaryland, Friday
night, Octolwr 24', in Klon’s dust
bowl by a 21-(i trium))h.
Des])ite the fact, that the hx^als
were tinderdogs in this game, they
lost no time in capturing the lead,
scoring once in the first |K'riKl
and twice in the second.
'I'he Marylanders, whose pass
ing attack featured in wins over
Potomac State and LaSalle, failed
to prove effective against tlie Can

Intramural Roundup
You students have probably can. Kappa Psi lias lost thre(
th(
Elon with a total
ft'reucc w'ins and no losses vs
Catawba Indians, w;ith the same
rnocrd. That will be a game worth
walking to see. When Elon meets
('atawha for an athletic contest,
there's some fur going to fly. The
krfnest type of competition has
grown up between these schools in
r.’cent years along athletic lines.
Whether it is football, basketball,
.,r baseball there is always a good
..■rtuie. Well do F’lon students re
member how on several occasions,-
they ha\e bc'en cheated out of a
conference victory, by a suri>rise
