PAGE THREE What's What By EMERSON WHATLEY According to Field Secreary Paul C. Plybon, definite plans h.'.ve been made for intercollegiate base! all next year. An estimate of the equipment needed has already been drawn ap and every thing is well under way. Even though no plans have been made as to where the games will be played there is a lumoi' floating around campus that the games will be played under the new lights installed in front West dormitory. This could hardly be true r= the lights burn every night in the ^veek and the college does not allow Sunday baseball. There is another rumor that baseball is not going to be played there at all but that under the new CAA program to be installed next fall, the trees now out on cam pus wiiich are now of no use to the students will be cut down and the campus will be tuijned into a well lighted air Ftrip for Right flying. None of these rumors are to be taken seri ously. I Congrats and all that stuff to the Upperclassmen for winnjng the intra mural program. A lot of credit goes to a lot of boys now in service. Wayne Taylor and Fred Yarbrough stood out like sore thumbs against the opposi tion as did Leon Gibbs. Especially was this true during the football and vol leyball season. W. T. Walker, now on a defense job before entering med school, was a sandout on the basket ball court. The Eion Novelties are still flying high even though their wings took a severe clipping at the hands of the slate champs the other day. They have played several games and have come out on the long end of the score in a good many of them. The thing to be hoped i'or most at the present is that those boys will be back here next year for baseball. How about that wild “Mule” Chandler on the mound? Duck batter. With the major league scouts look ing around everywhere for talent they should investigate the feminine angle. What with women in the army and ^practically everywhere else but barber shops why couldn’t they play base ball. When they finally get around to looking for women batters they should investigate the third floor of West. After that licl-'^i,'^ they handed to the second floor the other day anyone could believe anything. The final score was 41 to 6. Poor scorekeep- er. MAROOM’ SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1945 Girls Sports By BETTY BENTON Since this is the last issue of the MAROON AND GOLD for this year, the results of the Women’s Intra mural Sports competition should have ; been in this column. However, be^; cause of rain and other conflicting events many af the games could not, be played acording to schedule. The ' finals in softball ladder will be held sometime his week. The winner in , the game between 3rd floor West j and the Day Students will play Ladies Hall for the softball championship, j Here are the results in the bowling | ladder: 1st P1.7:e—East, 6 points. 2nd place—Day Students, 4 points. 3rd place—3rd floor West, 3 points. 4th place—2nd floor West, 1 point. 4th place—Ladies Hall, 1 point. Lucille Morgan of 3rd floor West v/on the indivdual high scoring bon ers, defeating Ei'ma Canady ^of East by one point., | The results of the combined activi-1 ties put 3rd Floor West in the lead ; with 4- points. East Is second with ' 31 points; 2nd Floor West, third, with lo 1-2 points; Day Students, fourth, ‘ v/ith 13 1-2 points, and Ladies Hall. ! fifth, with 16 points. | Now here is the spot where I am supposed to say goodbye, good-luck,! and I hope to see you next year; how ever, since I have hardly gotten used to what I am doing (and no remarks) ; it seems a little out of place. Any- 1 way, I think all the girls have enjoyed the sports program l^his year, and would like for me to express our ap preciation to Coach Adcox for his ef fort and help. WITH THE ARMED FORCES wm FOUR ELON MEN MISSING IN ACTION CAPTAIN JAMES DICKEY Captain James Elmer Dickey, of the army air corps, is missing in action, according to a mesasge received re cently by his" parents^ Mr. and Mrs. C.

Men are housed in North, today, in rooms that overlook the gym. They still find the gym a suitable medium for any celebration or noise making deemed ne/assary. A CO-OPERATIVE setup was insti tuted at the Club House which was also built at the Ijeginning of the cen tury. Men students rented it at a rate of $100 per college year. ” THE GREATER ELON GROUP was erected in 1924, after the fire that ravaged the campus not long be fore. The Group consists of Alamance Building, containing lecture halls and the administrative offices; Duke, the science building; Carlton, the library; Whitley, the music building, contain ing the college chapel and church; and Mooney, the religious education build ing, now serving also as dining hall.
