PAGE FOUR JWAROON AND GOLD SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1946 ELON OVERRUN BY INDIANS, 40-0 ( IT SAYS HERE By ED MOSS To cheer or not to cheer—that is the question at Elon. The cheerlead ers are all for it and have been striv ing to get the student body to come over to their way of thinking. The students’ attitude has been some\\*iat lackadaisical in the past, and the sub sequent cheerless (or practically so) games have been blamed on the cheer leaders. Perhaps the cheerleaders are not everything to be desired for that unenviable job but if there is any among us who thinks he^an dp a better job let it be known. There is a big homecoming game coning up soon. Preparations are being made to make this the biggest game of the season. Pep rallys, bon fires and other methods of arousing enthusiasm. If we turn out in full force for these events and for the game whicli vrill follow, and cooper ate whole-heartedly then will we have reason to offer criticism. * » * Being a day student, we sometimes find it difficul t-o keep up with all the intramural activities going on at Elon. Today we have few notes on intramural highlights comptled by Alton Wright for which we are very grateful. Ed Ellis’ br*ken-field running in Oak Lodge’s football games has been noticed by more than just the opposi»g team. Roney Cates does it the hard way with his one handed catches of pass es. Just call him “Sure-grip.” Steve Walker would do well if he were getting paid on a yardage besis— 105 yards agaiHst I.T.K. on ene run. , His passing and intercepting is good too. Jim Widenhouse doesn’t give up even if his Club House team is trail ing. He‘s in the^e every time. Jim Huyett’s performance for South Dorm is worthy of cemment. He does rather well in kicking and pass- catching. His recor-d of kicks for extra points is .900 good and that i ain’t bad. I Leon Pope does all right in the I passing department for South-North. I Alton says that the hottest teams on the field are Oak Lodge of the Na tional League and South-North (rf the American League, and the standings back him up. It showld be qiuite a game when $nd if these tw0 meet. The Day Students? We’re net eve* in the running.

CHRISTIANS PLAY ERSKINE TODAY; HIGH POINT NEXT SOUTH-NORTH, OAK LODGERS STAY IN LEAD The volleyball tournament is pro gressing faster now thai the games are being played at 6:20 instead of in the afternoon. Since there are no conflicting meetings or labs, all teams are able to get enough girls out to play games that are scheduled.. Three games were played before this col umn was written. So far, it looks as if Third Floor West will hold the volleyball championship for another year, unless Second Floor West pulls an upset. In the game played Monday, Oc tober 21, Third Floor defeated East, 15-11 and 15-9. Jane Warren acted as referee, and It/Kss Whicker was um pire. Linesmen were Hazel Cole and Min Riddick. Wednesday, October 23, Ladies’ Hall defeated Second Floor, 15-7 and 15-8. Referee was Frances St. Clair; umpire, Agnes Harris; linesHien, Ag- lies Vaughn and Miftie Johnson. Mcwiday, October 28,T hird Floor defeated Ladies’ Matt, 15-8 and 15-7. Referee was Jane Warren; umpire. Miss Whicker. This game certainly evoked a lot of interest from the spec tators. It sure seems good to see ev- eivone supporting the intramural pro gram. Let’s keep it up. Because the time had to be changed, the schedule for the remaining games also had to be changed. The Day Students were iHiable to get enough people up here for night games, and had to be dropped from the schedule. Here is the schedule of the remain ing games. Monday, November 4: Second Floor West vs. Ladies’ Hall—Referee, Faye Rickard; ampire, Nancy Jorda»; lines men, Agnes Harris,^ Min Riddick. Wedaesday, Noviimb^ 6: Ladies’ Hall vs. East—Referee, Jane Warreo; umpire, Min Riddick; linesmen, Ruth Baine, Hazel Cole. Wednesday, November 11: East vs. Second Floor West—Hieferee, Faye Rickard; umpire, Janice Frazier; lines men, Nancy Jordan, Agnes Vaughn. South-North and Oak Lodge con tinued to pace their respective lea gues, the American and the National, during men’s intramural touch foot ball games played this week and last, although the Oak Lodgers’ winning streak came to an end os October 23, when they were held to a 6-6 tie by an improved North-North team. Oak Lodge had won six straight. After resuming their winning ways by tak ing a 6-0 decision from Mooney on October 28, they apparently avenged} this on North-North with a 7-0 vic tory Wednesday. Elon Gridders D(efeated!, 20-0, By Newberry Crippled, and suffering from a bad attack of the fumbles, Elon’s Fighting Christians went down before New berry’s hostile Indian tribe, 20-0, on “Too little and too light,” was the story last Saturday when the Elon football team ran into the Indians of Catawba College in a North State conference grid battle at beautiful Bowman Gray stadium, Winston-Sa- lem. Catawba, “too much and to* hefty,” rolled over the gallant but out classed Christians, 40-0,, to inflict the third loss of the year on the Perry eleven, which had a two-two record before the opening whistle. Elon started off as if it might give the powerful Catawbans a’close fight, Bobby Harris ripping off a first down on the first two running plays of the game; but it didn’t take long for the Indians to reverse things. Beginning on their own 38-yard line, late in the quarter, Catawba went pll the way, with Bowen, Spaecht, and" Georgiarifl plowing for big gains. Georgiana iinally plunged over for the score from the half-yard marker. Dor- ton's conversion made it 7-0 at the quarter. Sliortly after the- ne-xt period got underway, another sus-tained march, this time fiom their own 33, resulted in the second touthdown, which came on a 24-yard pass k'om Bowen to Spaecht. Dor,ton again converted. No sooner bad Elon received the kickoff and bee> penalizes lo th»ir own two- yard line than Gatawba had another *e«re.

NAME Elon’s only moment of glory during the game was Bobby Hogan’s 57-yard punt return for a touchdown, which was nullified because of a penalty on the platr. Newberry went ahead in the first period when Elo» fullback Bud Fer- neyhough was unable to get eff a punt and fumbled as he was hit in the end zone. Schofield recovered for Newberry, and the Indians were in front at the end of the quarter, 7-0. The second touchdown, a 45-yard North-North by grabbing an 8-0 nod ' march in the second period, followed over the latter team, and by earn- another Christian fumble. This time fents. I “"king the half- time score 13-0. High Point was also defeatea by Catawba, 19-7 and tied by Western Carolina, 6-#. The Panthers hold victories over Milligan, 19-7, and Lenoir-Rhyne, 33-0. Last week High Po«t grabbed a lucky one from Newberry, 12-6, in the last sec onds of the game. Elon gave New berry a fairly good game and might | Catawba (40) surprise at Greensboro. i Lg Hanley i LT—Yegiello FIRST BASKETBALL LG-Dickey PRACTICE NOV. 11 C—Fuoss RG—Lambeth The first official basketball practice rt Barnes will be held on Monday, November 11, i re Glaar in the college gym, it has been an- qb—Greene nounced by Coach L.

Bowen then made the touch down on an end sweep. The last tally of the game came ear.ly in the fimal quarter when Hunt er raced fare yards through the Elon line. Dort*n's Mek was good.
