SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1944 MAROON AND GOLD PAGE THREE SPORTS WHAT'S jWHAT BY W'TATLEY Definite plans have already been made for an Elon intercollegiate foot ball team for the year 1945. Although it was common knowledge among the college officials, a recent statement was the first official announcement coming forth in regard to next year’s prospects Ac cording to the official information plans have been made to erect nprmanent seats for around 10,000 spectators. These seats are to be erected south of the present stands. The stands on the field now will be used OHly for baseball. Even more en couraging is the announcement that a coach has been discussed. No name can be re leased at present because the man in pros pect is now in the United States Army. It was announced however, that this man is a former Bio* grid great who received more publicity than even the stars of Duke and Carolina. It was also revealed that he is a native North Carolinian. m With The Armedl^Forces Now that the Cardinals are baseball champions of the world and Duke has already been beaten a couple of times, the students at Elon can begin to turn more of their attention to the fine intramural setup worked out by Coach Adcox. The coach really deserves an orchid for the nice program he has so dilligently worked out. The competition will be keener because of this point system of his. Several copies of the point system have been poster around where the students have an opportunity to see them. The biggest stimulus, should be the fact that students will be given a chance ttwin that coveted Elon “E.” Also, there are some mighty beautiful trophies in the coach’s office. With basketball practice starting in dead earnest the latter part of this month, the men on campus are becoming more and ^ore anxious each day to see what the new season will bring i n the way of a team on the hardwood. Only a couple of games have been sch edsled thus far, but #ontact has been made with several teams, not only in the North State Conference, but also with teams ia Virginia and South Carolina. ^ LACY ADCOX, Director of Athletics and coach of basketball. Mr. Adcox holds a Master’s degree in Physical Education from the University of North Carolina. His undergraduate work was completed at Davidson. He became associated with Elon during the 1943-44 Army Air Service pro gram. Reelin' ’Emin By JOHN ROSSI Here is some food for thought for you basketball fans.

He also says attempts are being made to schedule two or more games outside of the conference. One of the responses which the coach has received was from Catawba. They have agreed to play two games on a home and home basis. That is, one game is to be payed in our gym, and one at Catawba. The two games are to be played on January 20 and 30, respectively. Among those looking well on the court are Fred Register and Wayne Taylor, standouts on the Elon Novel ties last year. Fred Yarborough and Bob Graham have been working out regularly, as have two likely appear ing freshmen hopefuls. Bill McIntyre and Danny Banks. Wallace Owen, a star on the Gibsonville High school team in ’43, may start when the sea son opens. So far, it is not understood whether or not W. T. Walker, a squad member of a few years back, will be eligible for intercollegiate competi tion. The last time Elon played Catawba was in the ’42 season and the teams broke even, each winning on its home court. Coach Adcox also reported today that formal practice would begin on the first of November. All hopefuls are urged to work out with the rest, so that Elon will take both games from Catawba this year. While I’m on the subject, I might remind you fans to get behind the coach and his team this season as our predecessors have done. Push them right through to the top. Find that old Elon spirit . . . you know; you’ve heard about it from the upperclass men. The ’42 bracket shows our quintet losing only four out of twenty-two Sames ,a pretty good record. This year marks the i-eturn of baseball to Elon. Back the taU boys on the hardwood. Cpl. Ivan L. Ollis 14101429 Btry C 42nd Armed F A Bn A.PO No. 17106 care Postmaster New York, N. Y. 1 Lt. J. L.
