Pvt. Claude G. Chandler, of San

tery of the 953rd Field Artillery Ba-
tallion. His A. P. O. is 230. New
York, N. Y.
Claude has now been in action for
about eight months on the Western
front. Censorship keeps him from re
vealing muth, but we think he has
been in some hard fights. He is a
“spotter” lining up targets for his
battery mates. As we understand it,
that means station on advance out
post positions where he can locate
the enemy and radio firing direc
tions.
Finals in the county high sciteoi
basketball tournament will be plfiyed
tonight in the college gym. Elon High
School will be trying for a double win.
Elon boys’ five meets Altamahaw-Os-
sipee, and the Elon girls’ team plays
Sylvan.
Seven teams competed in the play
off: Alexander-Wilson, Mebane, Gra
ham, and Haw River were eliminated
in the preliminary games.
Graham, counted as a possible for
the finals, was beaten by the Elon
boys team in a sensational game. Fast
passing and exceptional si.put
the game on ice tor riie los—* i-*a.,eis,
although Graham, favored to win, had
taken their measure twice in league
contests.
Large and enthusiastic crowds have
attended all games to date. The |
stands will be full tonight, so get \
there early. “Our thanks certainly i
go to the college for the use of the |
gymnasium,” stated J. M- Bundy,'
chairman of the committee of direct- |
ors of the contest. Elon boys cele- |
brated their entry into the finals with |
a steak supper generously donated by
the college engineer, Mr. W.iitesell. .
A similar reward has been promised i
to the girls’ club as well as the boys’ |
if they take the cup in the finals.
