SATURDAY OCTOBER 18, 1947 MAROON and GOm PAGE THREE ELON'S BAND NOW IN TOP CONDITION The Elon Band, once in the em bryo stage of organization, is now awakening to it’s definitely colorful aud musical inspiration under the t.ble direction of Mr. E.F. Rhodes, of Burlington. Another Responsible man is Mer ritt Foushee. band president, and high stepping drum major, who sees that the parades and manuvers end V ith. each member walking in the same direction. He is aided by Bill £ iafford, vice president, Ann Dar den, secretary-treasurer, and W.F. Speck) Harper, drum major and librarian, and Evelyn Moore, lib- il^rian. At this date members consist of the following: trumpet players;J.B. ■ 35urns, Jack Hunley, Bill Stafford, Jenny Lea, Samuel Vause, Charlotte Matthews, and Glen Harrison. Sax- aphone; George Shockford Jr., Ann IBairten. Olarinet; ‘Kay McKenzie. Baritone; Earl Bolick, Jack Moore, and Jack Castel. Bass; Ted Ferny fough, and Paul Shepard. Snare Drum; James Jones, Gene Cox, Tom Saunders Jr., and Jane Mclntire. Bass drum; Howard Hodnett. French horn; Andy Meredith. Trombone; Ed Brady. Symbols; Richard Newton. Other shapely additions to the band are the drum majorettes, eas ily filled by Virginia Rebick, Edna Burke, Mary Brown, and Neal Mc Donald. Substitutes are Virginia Davis and Ethes Craven. SpoJdi ED MULFORD ■"^AIA'ICE to the infirm The past two games since this col umn came to press have seen Elon add another victory to the record and also look impressive in a loss. %ck from E.C.T.C., whece there are 704 men and 694 women,(that school’s really growing) came the Christians with a 7-0 victory • that might have been larger but for the wettest field imaginable. And the previous week our Elonites gave the mighty Appal achian a scare- in a 21-13 loss. The 'Mountaineers are still unbeaten as » result of a sound beating they gave -.enoir Rhyne Bears last week, and now they have five in a row. Elon came closest of all. However the real powerhouse of the North State Cir cuit is Catawba. The Indians scored a their 70th straight game as they eat a supposedly strong Western Carolina eleven 44-0 last week. Bet- jha they don't romp through our fine ;ine as they have through the other teams. This corner as yet has not missed a prediction on an Elon football game in two years, but to-night the average really stands in jeopardy. The New berry club is good and it should be a whale of a game. Newberry bowed to Appalacian also by an 18-7 margin But comparative scofes mean little, vVe are going to slick by our earlier guess. Victory for us by one point.

Thus nowhere is there a more critical oi''more expert audience than at an American base ball game. Nowhere is expert .play- more keenly appreciated. i. This World Series just concluded was more than jufet another set of games hawever, because one of tlife teams was the Dodgers. They are more uniquely American than -any other sports team we can think of at the moment. This year more so than usually. Their roster was a cross sec tion of American national background ^iven little chance to win the pennant, aey sciaini[led to the National League eadership in July and held it to the end. Almost disgraced in the first two e.ies games by an admittedly more ,'xpert Yankee team, they fought back to tie it at three all. Every game was jut of story book, a scenaria written or Dick Merriewell. Perhaps it is just as well they did- not win. As one harressed policeman said during the celebration when the Dodgers won the pennant, “Think what this is going to be like if they win the series!” Reason totters. But ,n Brpoklyn there is always next year. What "has all this to do with Elon? Well, Brooklyn, practically lives for its basel^all team. We are a small nore compact college. We see no reason why that spirit can’t be found .0 a si^all degree about our teams, fhat s our pet peeve, ^e think the ilon spirit stinks! Blunt langua^ yut never-the-less that’s how we feel about it and our amitfdn'is to change it. For thQ second time in one column we urge you to get ou|, and play the game with the guys on the field even S only in your mind.

Results of games played since October 1, show South Dorm winning ;wo close games, defeating Veterans 3ourt 12-0, and South North 12-7: then South held the highly Kegarded Oak Lodge outfit to a thrilling score less tie. East Dorm ran over I.T.K. 21- 3 and Kappi-Psi won by forfiet over Morth Dorm. a fine team. They may not go unde feated but they’ll do well. Rumor has--|t that we may play 3ome of the “Big ^F^e” teams in Bas ketball, we cani’t ' cw^^^rm this as yet. Also there are^^^b6ut 12 Junior Colleges in this stat^.^^^ v^uld like ;o see the Elon J.V. _^b^fc^tball team 5lay a full schedule with these Junior Colleges and High Sclvools. • fflon College won it’s second North State Conference Eootball game of the current seasoli Saturday Night by defeating Eastern Carolina Teach ers College 7-0 before a small turnout at Greenville. A slick muddy field and a heavy drizzel turned the game into a dull defensive tussle as fumbles and pen alties consistantly marred the pei'- formance. Lou Savini scooted off tac kle from the E.C.T.C. 32 yard line in the first quarter for the only score in the ball game. Elon cashed in on one of the many breaks during the eveining. Attemp ting to kick from his own 40. Darby picked up a low pass from center and managed to bring the ball back to the 43 from where Elon went over in three plays. Savini picked up seven yards on a end run and Murray mis led a fir.st down by inches, but on the next play Savini went off tackle for 32 yards as the Fighting Christians scored the Ipne tally of the game. Jim Huyett place kicked the extra point. The Fighting Christians had scoring opportunities in each of the three final periods, but failed to hit pay dirt. Gentry recovered a fumble on the E.C.T.C. 14 but an Elon offside penalty followed by a backfield in motion penalty halted the scoring threat. Bill Perry set up the same situation immediately after the sec ond half began with a recovery on the E.C.T.C. 30 yard line, but four rushing plays failed to produce more than 9 yards and the future teachers took possession of the ball. De Simone recovered another fumble on the E.C.T.C. 21 midway in the final per iod and again the Fighting Christians were stalled as E.C.T.C. took over on the four yard stripe. The statistics themselves give a good account of the game. The Fight ing Christians had five first downs on 184 yards rushing and only 18 pas sing for a total of 202 yards. Braxton and Siler averaged 36 yards on kicks. For Elon Lou Savini was the big gun on the offense along with Hugett Braxton, and Pete Marshburn. Arnold Melvin featured on the line for the Fighting Christians along with Claude Gentry, Hank De SifnoM and Johnny Zurlis. Guard Hank De Simone injured his ankle again and may be laid up for some time. Guard Claude Manzi turned up with a bad knee and did not dress for the game. Six more gridiron contests are on !he card for Elon after the Newberry game. Everyone of them appears to be a tough one too. Next Saturday Night the “Fighting Elo’’ travels to Salis bury to play what is considered by many to be the best small college ele ven in the nation. The Catawba Ind ians, who are fast closing in on Yales’s recored in 72 straight games, are the opponents and Elon is determined to gain some revenge for a 40-0 pasting ‘aken last year. A chartered bus will take a large number of students to the game. The following week, on homecom ing night, Erskinc plays here. Erskine has defeated Atlantic Christian 27-0 and Rollins 19-0. Rollins the very next week thrashed the University of Rich mond which gives us some idea of the tough oppsition to expect. As if these two opponerits aren’t tough 'nou|h, the next game on November he 8th is at High Point with the powerful Purple Panthers, one of the inest teams in the North State Con ference. High Point has also defeated Atlantic Christian and by a 33-0 count. But this writer saw High Point in it’s 0-0 tie with Duke and believes that Elon is capable of pulling an upset md rolling up another win. Lenoir-Rhyne is met at Hickory on November I5th and will also prove a capable opponent. The Bears defeated Eastern Carolina by 27-9 and bowed to Newberry 19-3. Then a week before Thanksgiving Elon gets another home game when the soldiers of Fort Bragg travel up thisaway for battle. Little is known about the doughboy eleven, but last year Elon defeated Fort Bragg 7-6 in a thriller when Bobby Harris skipped over for a, score in the final period to save the day. The last game of the season of cou rse is Thanksgiving Day when the annual “Turkey Squabble” is held at Greensboro. Guilford is our biggest rival and to date has the same record as Elon, two wins and two losses. Doc Newton’s boys have been getting a great deal of publicity from the Green sboro new'spaper, but judging from their 23-13 down by Appalachian'they are no more deserving of a high rat ing than Elon. Both colleges have good teams, but the plugs for Guil- "ord and the scanty space allotted I'llon would lead .one not aquainted with the two teams to think the Quak ers a far superi(^r eleven. Jot .this down in your memorandum Elon is going to beat Guilford Thanksgiving day! Last year’s Elon club lost a 14-13 game to Lenoir-Rhyne but was a much better club, this year the luck is due fo change. That team of last year also played Guilford to a 14-14 tie. Guil ford no longer has Art Faircloth who was virtually a one-man offense in himself.. And so our Elonites go into prep- aratiions for eix tough ball games. With the breaks and the right spirit we stand a chance of winning every one of them with the virtu.V excep tion of the Catawba game. But we don’t give up there. We have a great line and once our offense starts click ing! Well—an upset of Catawba really would make the Headlines and we thinks Elon is due (attention Smith Barrier)-, to hit the top of the sports page. Go fellas!
