Have you mailed your Christmas
cards to the boys in service? If you

and see if vou have left out any of the
following Elon boys whom you would
like to wish a Merry Christmas?
Ensign H. C. Culbreth
Box 35 N. A. S.
Jacksonville. Fla,
Tuesday, November 23, brought to
a close the first phase of the boys’
sports program . During the first
quarter the boys participated in vol
leyball, touch football, basketball,
running the obstacle course, and cal
isthenics (from the army angle).
Calisthenics were stressed at first
until the boys got into fairly good
condition. In taking calisthenics,
army commands were used to get
the boys in position quickly and thus
get a maximum amount of exercise in
a minimum of time. Special exer
cises were used to develop various | Ensign James F. Darden
parts of the body. Each day several ^
series of ?':ercises were used, usually
in the following order; for develop
ing the neck, for the arms and should
ers, and for develtyjing the muscles of
tiie legs and trunks. Usually two
or three coordination exercises were
also used. These exercises were given
either from a standing position of at
tention, a sitting position of attention,
tlie front h’.->ning-rest position, or the
rear leanl.ig-rest position.
As the v.oather began to get cooler,
more emphasis was placed on touch j

half of their games; they defeated

in the line. Although playing the Jackson, S. C.

Burlington Day Students had to be
satisfied wtih the cellar position.
The most exciting game of the
series was the final All-Star game 207 Boyd Hall
between the. Upperclassmen and the , p q 2754
Freshmen. This game ended in a 13- ■ University of Kentucky
13 tie and to break the tie, each team j j^exingtoh, Kentucky
was given the udll on the fifty yard
line and five downs to see which
could gain the most yardage. The
Freshmen won by gaining about eight
more yards than the Upperclassmen.
During the winter quarter, special
emphasis will be placed on basket
ball, speedball, tumbling, and gym
nastics. Intramural competition will
pro’oably be held in basketball and
speedball.
The game began with the All-Stars
kicking off. Bob Lee of the Upper
classmen received the ball and ran it
down to the 50 yard line. Malone
tagged Davis, receiver of a long punt
made by Biddix on the All-Star 10
yard line. Oakley intercepted a pass
and made the first touchdown of the
game. Johnston kicked the extra
point making the score 7 to 0 in favor
of the Upperclassmen.
The All-Stars received. Biddix
kicked and the ball went out on the 20
yard line; the All-Stars took it in on
their 20 yard line. Davis passed to
Howard on the first play and he ran
45 yards for a touchdown. They
missed the extra point, making the
score 6-7 with the Upperclassmen still
in the lead.
The beginning of the second quarter
was mostly shuffle action over the
50 yard line. Finally the ball was
brought down to the Upperclassmen’s
10 yard line. Johnston threw a pass
to Malone for a touchdown. Wentz
blocked the kick for the extra point
and the score was 13 to 6.
There was a substitution. Miller
went in for Morgan. The All-Stars
received the kickoff and the Upper
classmen were penalized for interfer
ence which put the ball back on the
55 yard line. Johnston intercepted

World Today’ Is
Conference Subject
On the week-end of November 19-
70 there was held at Catawba and
Livingston Colleges an inter-racial,
inter-denominational conference. The
sub.iect of this conference was “Build
ing Tomorrow’s World Today.” It was
under the auspicies of the American
Friends Service Committee and the
North Carolina Council of Churches.
The most important obective w’as to
develop a friendlier relationship be
tween all races.
Anup Singh, noted writer and
speaker on India, and the Far East,
°ditor of “India Today,” and con
tributor to several other leading pe
riodicals, talked on Friday night. His
subject was, “The Future of Asia—
Friend or Foe of the West?” On Sat
urday morning E. Raymond Wilson,
executive secretary of the Friends
Committee on National Legislation,
Washington, D. C.. was the speaker.
His sub.iect was, “What Does Christi
anity Demand of Us?” He stated six
topics on which we should work to
attain our Christian goal, but the one
thing he stressed in particular was
OTir support to the government. We
should take an increased, individual
interest in the affairs of the govern
ment.
One of the most interesting periods
of the conference was Rayford Lo-
tran’s discussion, “How Can We
Strengthen the Good Neighbor
Policy?” Logan is Dean of the .Grad
uate School of Howard University.
