Rule Changes For
This Season
Tonight is the njght. This is the
night that the Elon boys really open
their basketball season. The Guil
ford College cagers are the oppon
ents and the scene is the Elon gym
nasium. With a not-too-good prac
tice season behind them, the Elon
boys are keyed to the limit and will
open the 1943 session with every trick
they have in the bag. The boys who
v.'ill probably open the first war-tims
edition of Elon college athletics are
Fred Register, Wayne Taylor, the
only upperclassmen on the team,
Dannv Banks, Bill McEntire, and
Fred Chandler, the freshmen repre
sentatives on the squad. The Elon
team wil probably be a far cry from
the days of W. L. Hobson, Jack
Gardnei, anc’ John Henry Pearce and
company; but as the boys say, the
uniforms fit and the shoes are the
■ie. ■' tisey are going
out tliere fighting and tiie lieart of
every Elon man and woman, past and
present, will be tliere behind them.

teams of all ages, and additional foul
is NOT granted when a game goes
into extra periods.

Girls Sports
By EDNA REITZEL
Some real stars have come out
since the launching of 'the basketball
season (and we are not referring to
the stars of Woo-Too-Yu, the Con
fucius of the campus, “Hach” Reid).
Mary Warren and Bonnie Davis are
due to shine (and may we lightly ex
press the hope that it will not be
for Woo-Too?) They will be remem
bered as the sloe-eyed (we did not
mis-spell it) wonders of last season—
the leading ladies of East and West.
(This last least confusion reign (rain?)
in the heart of our Kon-Foo-Shus.
That’s a pretty neat line, eh, what,
“Hach?” Try to tie it, and we’ll see
what we can do to get one of the
glamor gals to tie your tri-colored
Cicivac -»o one hopes you will be
strangled, mes amis—beg pardon—
amigos. This is just .a friendly
chatter between the lines.)
The line-up for East shows prom
ise, to get back to the business at
hand. Bettie Blue, Erma Cannady,
and Janet Ward have Ijeen doing
splendid shooting; and Vera Lamb,
Marie Garner, and Lib Johnson are
producing a remarkable job of guard
ing.
A freshman who deserves praise is
Flo Chandler of Second Floor West.
Forwards showing promise are Patsy
Wrenn, Erma Graham, Betsy Smith,
and Ermine Davis. Nor can we for
get the real sportsmanship and hard
playing of Hilda Malone, Mildred
Shadel, and Jo Earp, who are on the
losing end of a hard-fought game
with East.
Ladies’ Hall has an all-around vet
eran player in Iris Westbrook, who
is just about the top of the stars;
then there are a host of fine athletes
to name, with little to choose from
in estimating their abilities: Helen
Morris, Hazel Johnson, Jane Lewis,
Carrie Stanford, Lib Holland, Kat
Chapel, and even Yours Truly.
(Top editor cutting in on the game:
But yes, we’ve been informed that
Yours Truly plays a snug game.)
Day students, with Edna Rumley,
Iris Boland and Lib Apple will have
to be reckoned with in the league.
Vallie Paige and Lib Scoggins, too,
know all the angles. For Third Floor
W»6t Margaret Rawls, our all-around
star, will lead out. She’ll have sup
port from the volleyball troop—you
may count in Betty Benton, Dot
Pierce, Lib Parker, and some of last
year’s best.
Sportsmanship, greatest of all the
enjoyable elements in athletics, is a
■ factor we traditionally keep in mind.
See the editorial on it.
I duced to one condition. Now a team |
I may not cause the ball to go to its
I! :(ck court, except (1) on a jump!
j ball, either jumper may tap the ball!
I to his back court, or the first of the '
I other eight players who touches the
! ball after the tap may cause it to go
I to his back court: (2) a player who
has been awarded the ball out of
bounds may throw the ball to his
back court. Number (1) of! the
foregoing is the only one of the orig
inal four conditions now retained;
number (2) m.erely retains the right to
throw the ball to any part of the court
after an out of bounds award.
3. A new Section 10 appears in
I Riile 9. 'riiis is aimed against the
I very tall “goal tender” used by some
' teams. A defensive player may not
! touch the ball after it has started;
I its downward flight on a try for field
I goal and while the ball is entirely
; above the level of the basket ring.
I This restriction applies only to a
I throw -(not a bat) and only until
i such throw has touched the ring or
backboard or until it is apparent that
if will not touch either.
4. Changes' in Rule 9 in the sec
tions governing free throws have
been made to improve- the arrange
ment, and two' slight changes have
been made in the penalties. (1) If
both teams violate the free throw pro
visions, the ball is tossed at the
nearer free throw line instead of the
center. (2) If a teammate of the free
thrower illegally touches ball or
basket during a free throw, the goal
does not count and the ball goes to
the opponents out of bounds, instead
of 'I ;ing a jump ball at the nearer
free tl^ow line.
5. A sentence has been added to
the note following Rule 5, Section 8,
giving the official authority to sus
pend play immediately when neces
sary to protect an injured player. He
is not required to wait until the ball
is dead, or until the opponents have
completed a play, but he will be ex
pected to use good judgment in ap
plying this authority.
6. Players may reenter unlimited
number of times.

In a pre-holiday game played on
the local court December 14, the ORD
Officers basketball team of Greens
boro defeated the Elon Fighting Chris
tians by the score of 55 to 21. The
game opened slowly but the older,
more experienced officers team grad
ually forged into a first period lead
of 11 to 8, and from then on were
too much for the local cagers.
In going down in defeat, every man
on the Elon squad saw action as
Coach Adcox susbtituted freely after
the first half. Wayne Taylor and Bill
McEntire were outstanding on defense
lor the boys in Maroon and Gold and
Fred Regster, Danny Banks, and
“Mule” Chandler were good on of
fense. Harvey Rawls, Bobby Foust,
and Fred Yarborough showed up well
with the Elon reserves.

Music and Coca-Cola spell friendship among our Latia-American
neighbors just as they do here at home. Have a “Cake” is an invi

Georgia. In many lands around the globe, Coca-Cola has become
the same symbol of friendliness that it is in your own living room.
