ELONS LOSES TO GUILFORD
IN FIRST CONFERENCE
GAME
The way things are shaping up
now, it seems as if there may be only
about five men on the Elon basket
ball team when North State Tourna
ment time rolls around this spring.
V/'ith Bob McCotter and Willard Mar-
lette already in the Naval Air Corps,
Fred Yarborough expecting his call
any day, Harry Turner leaving the
22, and Wayne Taylor on the Army
Air Corps waiting list, the prospects
for a large squad are almost nil.
But then, only five men can play at
a time.
Dining hall oddities. Some of the
waiters almost dropped ther teeth
last week, when lo and behold, at
F’'"mptly 7:19 (the very last minutei
about six members of the basketball
squad came sleepily into the dining
hall for breakfast. For some of the 1
boys it was a new experience, for
others, it was something that they |
knew went on every morning, rain
or shine, but they just hadn’t got
around to looking into it. Anyway, |
Coach Adcox has begun to enforce '
some of his training rules that the ;
boys were taking too lightly. It will
he a complete success the morning
Don Miller and John Rossi, the up
perclassmen managers, walk into the
dining hall for breakfast.
How about those new yells that the
cheerleaders have now? Nice going |
gang. And a bouquet to Frances |
Truitt for helping them out with ,
those new yells. Mrs. Truitt, who '
was then Frances Creef, was a cheer
leader here during the years 41-42.
Those day student boys are really
taking this intra-mural thing serious
ly. They are out on the court nearly
every morning for practice and it has
been showing up. Monday night they
took the upperclassmen for a ride
when they threw in 14 points to the
other boy’s 5. Shiek Riley and Tom
my Hall stood out for the boys from
Burlington as did Jim Bo Lyon al.so.
Tommy Wolfe did an excellent job
of stopping the shots of W. T. Walker.

In the first conference game of the
season, January 6, the Guilford Col
lege Quakers outpointed the Elon
Christians in the Elon gym by the
score of 43 to 36. The game was
close up to the last eight minutes and j
then with Farlowe tossing them in
from all angles, the boys from Guil- |
ford went into a lead that was never j
challenged.
Wallace Owen and Danny Banks,
with 9 and 10 points respectively, led
>he Maroon and Gold offense with
Fred Register and Wayne Taylor play
ing their usual good game on defense.
Farlowe, with 22 points, led the
Quaker offense with Captain Eddie
Hirabayashi (it’s spelled right) stop
ping a lot of Elon plays before they
got started.

ELON DROPS CONTEST TO
LENOIR RHYNE
In a rough and tumble contest
Friday, January 12, before the largest
crowd yet to witness a local contest,
the Lenoir Rhyne Bears defeated the
local basketball aggi'egation by the
score of 34 to 24. It was the second
straight conference loss for the Elon
cagers and it put them on the bottom
of the North State Conference.
Each team scored 10 field goals but
the Bears made the most of their
foul throws to sink 14 of 20. Baxter
and Michael led the Lenoir Rhyne
team with Owen and McEntire lead-
ng the Fighting Christians.
The intramural basketball tourna
ment opened the night of January
10 and Ladies’ Hall defeated Sec
ond Floor West by a score of 26-6.
The losing team is to be credited
with excellent sportsmanship—both
forwards and guards, while Warren
was high scorer. Ladies’ Hall proudly
congratulates Helen McBain for her
high scoring, along with Carrie Stan
ford, Hazel Johnson and Iris West
brook.
Now is the time to sign up for
intramural table tennis. Each team
manager should see that there are
representatives signed up from their
group. Please hand this list in to the
Physical Education Office by Janu
ary 17.
Practice table tennis during the
intramural basketball games, if you
like, in the east entrance of North
dormitory.
(Since bleachers have been put in
the gym it looks as if you will have to
wait until spring to pl*y shuffle-
board.)
At last we have two applications for
Junior manager from the girls. That,
my “'fellow sportsmen” is excellent
sportsmanship. These two girls are
Helen Newsome and Sarah Brewer.
Both of these girls will be in line for
senior manager next year.

a very interesting system for the girls.
He divides his group, each hour, into
three sections. One section plays
basketball, another table tennis, and
the other bowls.
Many of the girls in these gym
classes are also on intramural teams,
but some who haven’t ben heard from
before, who are very good athletes,
are Helen Boone, Ruth Breedlove,
Sylvia Joseph, Margaret O’Brien, Jane
Simmons, and scores of others. These
girls show much interest, too.
Girls, it looks much more stylish to
wear gym suits or shorts to gym class-

which have been ordered, arrive.

In a thriller played January 16 be
fore the largest crowd yet to witness
a local game, the High Point College
Panthers outpointed the local cage
aggregation and came out on lop by
the score of 41 to 30. The game was
close until the last few minutes when
Sheek, star Panther forward, started
rimming the basket from mid-court
to score 6 quick points. The Elon
team, with a half time lead of 16 to 15.
began to come apart at the seams in
the last few minutes.
I Teachy, with 9 points, and Sheek
with 11, led Coach Virgil Yow’s cagers
on the offense and Hix, lanky center,
was sudden death on anything that
came under either basket. Coach Yow
substituted at frequent intervals ^id '
no man played the entire game.
Bill McEntire led the Elon scoring
with llpoints, 9 of these coming in
the first ten minutes of the game.
Wallace Owen played a good game at
forward for the Maroon and Gold
boys and tossed in 6 points to add to
their cause. Fred Chandler played
his best game of the year as he came
down with a large per cent of the re
bounds from each basket.
