WHAT'S WHAT
BY
W^TATLEY
The opening of another school year finds the nation
still engaged in a gigantic struggle against the totali
tarian countries of the world. And, as they rightly
sliould be, the youth- of the nation are engaged in far
more serious things than football and basketball. Still,
at a time like this, there must be some time for relaxa
tion and rest against the nervous strain brought on by
daily world-shaking events. The medium of competi
tive sports help in some measure to provide that relaxa
tion, not only for the players themselves but also for the
spectators who enjoy watching youth at play.
For the past two years there have been no inter
collegiate sports on the Elon campus because of the
great curtailment of the number of men students en
rolled. This year, however, the college is trying in
some manner to begin the return of sports with the
sponsorship of an inter-collegiate basketball team. Al
though as yet no regular practive has been instituted
the boys have found some time away from their classes,
to scrimmage on the gym floor of North Dormitory.
We’re looking for big things from Fred Register, Denny
Banks, Bill McIntyre, Wayne Taylor, Bob Graham and
Fred Yarborough and crew.
With the building of the new bowling alleys, the
administration has gone a long way toward endearing
itself to the entire student body. The alleys are almost
completed and will be ready for use within a very short
time.
Fond memories of the past came back to the older
Elon students and to the faculty when they saw the ath
letic field lighted for a football game last Friday night.
The game was between the Burlington-Gastonia high
school teams; yet it made the Elonites think of happier
days and names of Horace Hendrickson, Joe Brunan-
sky, Bernie Daher, Joe Gblombek, Jack Boone, and
many other who have “lugged the mail” for the “Fight
ing Christians.”
Here’s a bouquet and, at the same time, a couple
of dozen crying-towels if necessary, for the man whose
job it will be to place an Elon basketball team on the
hardwood this year. This very capable man is Coach
Lacy Adcox. With only 4-F’s and 17 year olds to work
with, the team can hardly hope to be a world beater.
But we’ll be behind the team. It’s our team. We be
lieve in the coach and the men and look for them to
surprise a good many of our opponents.

Maybe you’ve been hearing the song
lately. “I’ll Be Home For Christmas.”
I did, just the other day, and it cer
tainly gave me a funny feeling inside.
Now don’t feel that I’m trying to
rush the season, because that’s not the
opject at all. It’s just that there are
so many fellows—fellows right here
from Elon—who want to be home for
Christmas. And from what I’ve heard,
what they want more than anything
else in the world right now is a little
backing up from you back here. Jiist
you remember that a letter from you
will mean a heck of a lot to every
Elon man in the service—^to every man
in the service ... So write! Won’t
you?

Organization OF
Intramural Program
Although war-time necessity has
limited athletic opportunities, direct
or Lacey Adcox, of the Dejlartment of
Physical Educaton, is planning an ex
cellent program for 1944-45. Older
students will recall the fine work Mr.
Pier«e and Mr. Adcox did with the
Army last year. Mr. Pierce is now a
naval lieutenant, at last report ex
pecting ot ship out soon.
Mr. Adcox is trying out material
for a limited varsity basketball pro
gram. (See Whatley’s column.) More
equipment for sports and health de
velopment has been provided and,
with the gymnasium released by the
Army, some good times are coming.
They tell us that if one dreams long
enough, the dream will come true.
Maybe that’s how it happened. Here’s
the line-up: Basketball, tennis, bowl
ing, volley-ball, touch football, table
tennis, shuffle board, and a little golf
here and there (who can afford to play
golf, besides the faculty? Not. us,
says Spike. Nor us, for we haven’t
time, says a faculty member. But “so
be somebody will.”)
The Intramural Council has been
the main provider of ideas for step
ping up the program. The adminis
tration has our thanks for seeing to
the ways and means. War-time ac
celeration in sports now depends on
us. All out for a good year.
—“Spike,” in “de Journalism course.’'
And hopin’ to be one of the survivors,
so he'p me.
WRITE THAT LETTER TO
YOUR G. I. JOE!
One hundred percent they send the
word—
That a letter from home is the best
gift.
The peril they face every hour is
great.
It is for us they follow the flag
It’s little at best we can do.
Write that letter now!

HEY
The Gang’s All Here
We spelled it “Too,” not “Two.” We
tag along, gen’mun. And watch our
smoke. H’m—didn’t mean that so lit
erally. But N’emmind. The girl’s re
quired course in physical education
will set you up: calisthenics, march
ing drills, volley-ball, tennis, archery,
bowling, and shuffle board will be
available. And you will learn the
history, terminology, rules, regula
tions, skills, and strategies for each ac
tivity. Well, anyhow, the best peo
ple are doing it; so why not you?
Corrective exercises will be pro
vided for those who need them. The
states directives in individual and pub
lic health will be met. Prospective
teachers will be given essential train
ing. Participation in wholesome rec
reation will be the goal for everyone.
A council for girl’s intramurals is
being organized. The aim of this
program is to make it so interesting
that every girl will want to join in
Opportunity to take part in one or
more activities will be your privil
ege. The ultimate success of the en
tire program, of course, depends up
on hearty co-operation. It is being
planned and carried out by you and
