Brunansky did a grand job of scouting league teams and outsiders to
make the Christians aware of their opponents advantages and disad-

trnfL knowledge to back that up. This is the short but
true story of Elon s success on the gridiron tliis past year.
*4-- POINTERS SEEK REVENGE
In the last issue of High Point College’s paper the sport pagt^
was all aglow with the praises of the Panther basketball team and at
-the top of the page m bold type was the legend “Remember Pearl Har
bor and Our 48-0 Football Loss to Elon”. Appearing on the page was
■an article that stated High Points basketball team was the medium
for (he school to aveng-e its football defeats. We aren't underatinff
the I anther cage team, but it seems a poor excuse to forward for their
iootball losses. Admittedly the Panthers are favored over Elon but
the High Pointers might not crow so loud if Jack Gardner and Pres
ton 1 owns had not left our Christians weakened for their game We
will stake our bottom dollar that if Elon had retained these two stars
the Christians would have won the North State conference title alon^.
with beating High Point. In closing let us say High Point had better
not be too cocky lest Elon take
some wind out of their sails.

High Point Five Will Fight To
Maintain Perfect Season Record
Riding high with the crest of
the wave in the North State Con
ference, the Panthers of High
I oint tackle the Elon quintet here
tonight in the first encounter b«‘-
tween the two fives this season.
High Point boasts of a good team,
which is showii by virtue of its re
cord of sixteen straight wins. Elon
has dropped only two, one to the
strong Georgeto\vTi and the other
to the Catawba Indians.
It was indeed interesting to
read the la.'t \issue of the Hi Po,
college publication for High Point
C?ollege It ask.'d the boys to Re
member Pearl Harbor and High
Points 48-0 grid loss to Elon, and
to get sweet rev'nge by piling on
the points nice and thick. There
are two sides to everv story and
that isn’t our side! When the fi
nal whistle toot.-i tonight, we don’t
think there will Ix' auv points
piled on thick .vr fast, (this willi
porbably b- a surprise to the High
Pointers for they' seem to think
they have the best team in any
league) we think that Elon will
be -On the big etid of the score, re
gardless of what that figure may
be.
Coach Hendrickson isn’t asking
any sympathy for his boys bt^cause
Gardner and Towns are lost. Sure
ly, they are greatly jnissed, but
Elon played ball bjfore those two
came and if you don’t think thev
have a good - club ,now, you are
either from High Point, or don’t
know what you are talking about.
-Note To The High Point Sports
■Staff: Your caption under your
team’s pict';-.- suggesting that the
coach jvas tei;ing his boys “not to
be too hard on Poor Little Elon”,
I was very cute, buf please allow us
to opine different. Regardless of
who is winner of that game to
night, the boys from High Point
will know that they have met a
team that rates with the bt'st in
the state. P. S. In case you should
‘disremember’, High Point Col
lege is still in the state.
REST OF GAMES TO BE
IN CONFERENCE
After the tussle tonight the
piristians meet the Appalachian
five here in a return engagement
next Tuesday night. The Moun
taineers haven’t forgotten the 45-
48 dcrfeat handed to them by the
Elonites earlier in the season and
these Boonenien will be scrapping
to regain a place among the top
two in the conferen*?e. Plenty of
action and fight is forecast. This
game should be on your must list
as well as the High Point fray.
Lenoir Rhyne having bowed-on
their home court to the Hcndrick-
sonmen will travel from Hickory
next Friday to do battle on the'
Christian’s battle ground. The Le
noir Rhyne coach will bring a
much improved team to face the
locals thijt night. Forecast how
ever is.that the Christians will de
vour the Bears, skin and all.
CATAWBA DEFEAT
IS EEVENGEV
With Captain Hobeon and Er-
Johns pacing the way, the
Elon Fighting Christians gained
revenge over the Catawba Indians
here Satudray when they squeezed
out a 31-30 victorv
the last six minutes of play, went
front jvith a 8e>ven-point lead be-
I fore everything was ()uiet again.

I on a rampage and were out in
However, Catawba’s Hunnicutt
and AIcEIwee closed up the mar
gin with midfloor shotd until the
locals held only a one-point lead.
Elon managed to maintain its
margin in the last one minute and
half of play by freezing the ball.
The first half also was very ciose.
(iatawba was out in front 12-11
at intenhissiou.
Johns, a freshman from I'enn-
sylvania, topped high scoring
honors for th(^ night with twelve
points. His teammate, Hobscm,
trailed with eight points. Hunni-
cutt and M(^ylw;ee lel the visitors
attack with eleven' and eight
points, respt^ctively.
The triumph marked the third
win against one loss in the eonfer-
ence for the Hendricksonnien, and
was the second close contest Elon
has exijerienced in a week. The
Cannonade previously won a nip-
aiid-tuck affair over McCrary
here by a score of 39 to 38.
