SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1942 MAROON AND GOLD PAGE THREE COTTON PICKING TIME 0 a “The girlies will play while Dr. Smith is away”, despite his des perate pleas for cotton pickers. On the whole, however, the stu dent body has responded quite well to the call for farm workers on the college farm. Above in a rollicking rampage, several bags (referring to those containing cotton, of course) are being tossed around freely. This group of Elon’s fairer co-eds is composed of Margaret Rawls, Virginia Wheeler, Maxine Smith, Lib Holland, Agnes Walker, Mary Alice Critcher, and Mary Denson, from left to right. Photo by John Pollard Rambling With CHARLIE MANN A big question in boxing circles is whether or not Champion Joe Louis is going to retire. Joe and his managers can’t agree on what the Brown Bomber said in an interview with sport writers recently. Joe, it seems, said he was getting too old and was ready to retire, but his managers say he will be in his prime after thirty, No doubt Joe will probably defend his title for quite a while yet. Down at Riqe University the football team took quite a shock when six of its members joined the Marines. Another two who were in the officers’ reserve aSked to be put on enlisted status so as to be with their mates. If the boys are called into immediate service Rice will be out of running in the Southwest Conference. This week-end a Duke team that has been defeated and humiliated for the past two week-ends will meet a strong Colgate team. The Colgate eleven is rated as the best in fifteen years and it will be out for blood. Duke will be fighting to save face and reputation and will present a game that will be well worth watching. When Northwestern played Kansas State a sophomore, Alex Kopter. gained a permanent berth as guard in a new way. Misunderstanding the coach when he said, “Start warming up, Alex," he rushed into the game. On the first play he broke through the line and threw the Kansas back for a ten yard loss. The game of the week brings together two teams that have usually just been in the schedule. This year they are claiming some of the lime light for themselves. Wake Forest meets N. C. State at Raleigh in what should prove to be a real contest in any man’s conference. Wake Forest Imade football history when it defeated and humiliated Duke 20 to 7, and State upset the Clemson powerhouse 7 to 6. Fighting on the momentum gained from these victories the two teams will furnish thrills aplenty. Wake Forest is picked to have the edge, but anything can happen in this battle. Keep your eyes on the victor of this match for it may go on to greater things. Just in case some one doesn’t know it, the St. Louis Cards defeated the New York Yankees in the World Series 4 to 1. Kappa Psi Stops North North, 12-2 Alpha Pi Annexes Win r —- Thursday, October 8, Alpha Pi won its second victory in intramural foot ball by defeating North North, 24-7. Alphi Pi had won its first game over East Hawks and North North had Ijeen defeated by Kappa Psi. At the beginning it seemed that it would be an evenly matched game, but Alpha Pi led by triple threat Vic Zodda and pass-snagging Sylvan Kputh soon proved the better. With a strong line, fast ends, and a high stepping backfield Alpha Pi had an offensive that North North was un able to quell. North North, sparked by Huntley, Latta, and Frazier, put up a great fight and showed offensive drive of ten but were able to score but once. Triple threat man Latta was the star of the defeated North North with his ouUUnding passing, running .and kicking. Eagles Overwhelm South North Lads On Wednesday, October 7, the help less South North football team fell before the mighty onslaught of the East Eagles, 38 to 6. The Eagles, smooth in their running and passing attack, won their second victory in a week. Although South North had a slash ing line led by Lacy Hagood they were unable to stop the fast stepping backfield of the Eagles. The Eagles played a game that featured team work which clicked offensively and defensively. South North had a great line on de fense but were unable to set up an organized offense. They showed real offensive power only once when they scored their only touchdown. The first half belonged to neither team as each held the other in check, but the lasting power of the Eagles laid claim to the last half. With su perb kicking, passing, and running the game soon became the Eagles’ property. South North put up a gal lant defense but were no match for the inspired Eagles. Friday afternoon, October 2 Kappa Psi opened its football season by de feating a strong North North team 12 to 2. The first half was played on even terms with both teams penetrat ing deep into enemy territory fre quently. A pass from Lee to Mann set up. the first touchdown early in the third quarter. Hooper carried the ball across on a pass from Lee. Kappa Psi scored again in the third quarter when Nance intercepted a pass and raced forty yards for the touchdown. Both tries for the extra points failed. Led by triple threat W. C. Latta and powerful Bud Frazier, the North North team was able to score two points on a blocked kick. Though failing to score a touchdown North North kept Kappa Psi on its toes and showed offensive power all through the game. The entire Kappa Psi team played great ball with Darden and Basnight looking best on the line and Nance in the backfield. Offensive power of Kappa Psi proved the deciding point of the game. East Eagles Trample U.K. On Monday, October 5th, the un derrated East Eagles upset and ran over the once mighty I. T. K. team. Two teams went to battle that day to what most had thought was an al ready won fight. Mighty I. T. K. had rolled over South North and was ex pected to crush the Eagles. It was the Eagles’ season debut and they were out to get a good start. Surprises came early and fast. All was not well with the once great I. T. K. team, which could find no way to stop the fast stepping Eagles. Led by the pass-snapping Johnnie Zeiss- ner and smooth, powerful Ike Perry, the Eagles looked in mid-season form as they rolled on to victory. In pass ing, receiving, blocking, running and kicking the Eagles looked superb and worked like a machine. Burns and Askin led in the gallant but disorganized fight of I. T. K. It was the battle of individuals against a highly efficient unit. I. T. K. show ed offensive power at rare intervals, but they played mostly a defensive game. To the tune of 25 to 0. it was the Eagles' ball game from beginning to end. Rosco and Bosco Pick Well, folks here they are again, those masterminds of star-gazing, who say, “Put your faith in the stars and you will never be without lights." Of course they do not say that lights are always wanted, but in case of need, a bright star is a nice thing to have around. They advise you to steer clear of lights that pop on at unexpected times and catch you just in the act of ... oh well, just in the act. Rosco has had his most unpleas ant moments when just as things were going smooth a light pops on and he was caught half-way out the window. The experts ran into unusual trou ble in star-gazing this week. Finding new and strange st^rs around, Rosco couldn’t decide if they were the real things or products of suffering human animals. Finally Rosco noticed that some of the stars swayed from place to place and he knew they must be fake. After long and hard study Ros- co passed on his reading to Bosco to be translated into the language of the less-learned. Without human emo- Kappa Psi Upset On Sloppy Field On Monday afternoon in a field of mud Alpha Pi defeated Kappa Psi by the sir^ll but concluisve score of 2 to 0. It was a hard fought game and one that the ducks would have really enjoyed. The low score was possibly due to what was definitely not great football weather. Alpha Pi entered the game with two victories and Kappa Psi with one and based on this the teams were about evenly matched. Early in the game Alpha Pi on a pass from Zodda to Routh drove deep in Kappa Psi territory. On a penal ty Alpha Pi received the ball on the Kappa Psi one-yard line. It looked certain that they would score, but Kappa Psi threw up a defense that held for four downs. Kappa Psi took over but an attempt to kick was blocked and Alpha Pi scored a safety. This was the only score and only threat made by either team. "The remainder of the game was fought In balance with neither team making decisive headway. It was a battle ot the two teams against each other and against the elements, with the elements winning. With a fight ing line led by Darden and Basnight, Kappa Psi played a good defensive game but could not click on the of fense. Vic Zodda and Sylvan Routh sparked the Alpha Pi team to its vic tory.
