VAGE THREE MAROON AND GOLD SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1945 What's What By EMERSON WHATLEY EMPTY BLEACHERS . . After a recent softball game someone made the remark that the dressing rooms were getting all dusty and the hedge around the athletic field was all grown up. Also that evening there were peihaps fifty or sixty students in the stands. This more than any one part of college life brings a realization that even though the Russians are in Berlin and the B-29 s are pounding Tokyo, that our boys are not yet home. They are missed in classes, nothing seems right without “Joe Col lege”, yet some of us never real ized the things that would be dif ferent if they were back. Instead of a softball game with the Knights of Pythias there would be a baseball game with either Le noir Rhyne or Catawba or maybe High Point. Instead of fifty peo ple in the stands, the entire stu dent body would be there with a band and fireworks. The seventh inniing stretch would end up with “So Here’s to Dear Old Elon” and there, would be a triumphant pro cession of men and women back to the campus there to play the over and over far into the wee hours of the morning. But until the men do return to the campus and things really get on the ball we can use the Brooklyn motto: “Wait ’til next year,” and at that nexc year certainly isn’t going to bad. Bet we take Catawba. ♦ ♦ * GOOD GOING GUYS . . . To Ed Mulford, Fred Register, Joe Dunn tnd all the boys who helped organize and have kept going the Elon Novelties, here’s a big bouquet of red roses. The Novelties are strictly O. K. They started the season by carding their first game with Butner Fur niture, 1944 State Champs. Al though they lost a heart-breaker to the furniture men it was a much closer score than anyone had dared hope for and a time it seemed that an upset was in the offering. Nice going all of you. ♦ * * TOO MUCH . . . In the two intramural softball games that have been played so far Ed Mulford has allowed a total of two hits. . In the game against the Upperclassmen, Bob Graham connected for the only hit and in the game against the Day Stu dents, Earl Danieley ruined Mul- ford’s chances at the Hall of Fame. Mulford says that hje isn’t very good at football; if that is true that is the; only sport he can’t play. How about a game of Tiddleywinks, Mort? Girls Sports By BETTY BENTON WITH THE ARMED FORCES Word has been received that S-Sgt 'George Bullard has been liberated from a prison camp in Bad Orb, Ger many.

I’m not the ath letic type as anyone can see by my softball playing, but honest I’ll do my best. After Edna’s column this may not seem like so much, but as I said before—here goes. Partly because of the May Day pro gram, but mainly because of the in clement weather, the Intramural games have not been played per schedule. The only softball game played by the girls. Second Floor West was defeated by Third Floor West by a score of 41-5. Plans are being formulaed for a Sports Play Day to be held some time after May Diay. Teams and in dividuals will compete in badmin ton, archery, tennis, softball, track and perhaps horseshoes. Almost all physical education stu dents will be participating in the May Day exercises in some way. Below.is the practice schedule for the dances which will be followed next week. Announcements of regular physical education classes will be posted on the bulletin boards.

SPORTS ODDITIES Among the odd sports, of course we have Monsieur Emerson Whatley, io reported to De a descendant tl' the famous line of D’Artagnan. At any rate, he has the line; and we’re attding, line by line, to his reputation tor gallantry by field and stream and in tne shadow' of the oak and weeping v.iilow, where festive maid and sportive roebuck (Sears and Roebuck) may be found. There was also the time when Em erson tried out his home-made (Home- r.Iaid) baseball bat. He had whittled it out of a hickory sapling while he passed tiie time with the boys at the local store. The j'okels hemmed and hawed and had a deal of fun as the bludgeon took shape. “Em” molded it on the English cricket style, some what flat on the north siae: and fi went right on whistling while the rounders of Stony Lonesome (that'= the name of the cross roads where he was resting his over-stuffed frame at the time) guffawed. And guffawed. They said it was so heavy he couldn'* “swing it” and that anahoo he had no more eye than a two-ended bug. Well, the hi /jric day came around. And with no one else to make a nine, they put in old “Em.” He came up in the ninth with the bases loaded CO-EDS WE HAVE MOCCASINS AND LOAFERS Patronize Maroon And Gold Advertisers Hood Sporting Goods Co.
