SUPPORT FROM “B”
The Burlington Junior Cliamber
of Commerce has taken overr the
advanced sale of tickets for all five
Elon home games,and this fine ges
ture indicates a large turnout from
B town and neighboring localities.
There will be many new faces in
this throng, so a good showing both
on the field by the team and in the
stands by the student body will help
to sell these outsiders on
lege sports activities.
REPORTS FROM ABROAD
Charley Donato, captain and all
conference tackle on Elon’s qreat
‘41 championship club, has been
appointed head coach of football at
Leavenworth high school of Water-
bury, Conn. The former Army ath
letic instructor also directs a strong
semi-pro team, and is a successful
restaurateur as well. Another star
on that mighty Elon ‘11’, all -confer
ence fullback Joe Tomancheck is
aiding Coach Mallory on the grid
iron as backfield coach and scout
while finishing his schooling.
Elon’s former line Coach Garland
Causey is now head coach at Golds
boro high school ....reports indicate
that early Injuries to key players
have the popular mentor worrying.
J.W.Knight is on the coaching staff
at Reidsville high school while
Claude Comer has moved into the
Burlington iRecreBtion Depaiitment
office as assistant to Roney Cates...
Cates, most students will remem
ber, is the elongated shot wizard
who electrified local basketball fans
two seasons ago with 400-odd points
to rank among the first ten scorers
in the nation.
FRESHMAN TALENT
Since becoming head coach here
last spring, Coach Mallory has
hunted high and low for superior
football ivory. But his efforts have
not gone unrewarded, foor we now
have in our midst a number of
sparking freshmen who are eager
too supplant various varsity stal
warts. Among the more prominen'
are linemen: Len Greenwoo^d, Sal
Gero, A1 Pate, Bob DeMarco and
Dick Buchanan; and backfield men
Jack Spivey, and Frank Tingley.
The remainder of Elon’s 1948
football slate will be found else
where on this page. Clip it, and tack
it over your desk.

Head Cheerleader Carl Coley will

The cooperation oi Elon students
and supporters with the cheerlead

We believe that the new yells will
be f|Un, and that the student body
will enjoy giving them.
The team deserves oiu- coopera

in almost the same situation—that
is, both were well pasted in their
respective sea^n openers last week.
The Bulldogs lost their conference
opener to the Catawba Indians, de
fending conference champs, by a
score of 42-7, while Elon was drop
ping its inaugural to Davidson, 25-0.
The Davidson tussle is a thing of
the past, and after this brief recap,
we should forget it.
The bigger and more powerful
Wildcats proved that we had no pass
defense to speak of. Our blocking
was worse than poor, while that big
defensive line, in which Co-Cap^
Manzi is the smallest character, Wi
much too slow for the wide sweej
around end.
In fact, our forward wall was ouc-
charged and out-played throughout
the game, a very disheartening fact
when you remember that the defen
sive play of the line has been the
key feature of the team for the
past two years.
These mistakes were very obvious
and to be expcted. However, there
were a few bright spots in that
dismal night. Fred Claytor looked
so good in the few times he lugged
the ball that Coach Mallory has de
cided to give him a crack at the
fullback slot, the position he may
run from tomorrow. If so, he will
be alternating with Pete Marshburn.
Jack Spivey and Bill Barger, a
couple of lightning-like freshmen
tailbacks, will go with proper block
ing. Joe Erickson could provide
that, but the Wake Forest transferee
is ineligible for conference compe
tition.
Two more freshmen. Roily Ellis
and Dick Buchanan, stood out on
the line. In fact, Buchanan has
showed up so well at the center slot,
both on defense and offense, that
Coach Mallory has decided to give
Paul Causey, varsity center for the
past two years, a crack at the pesky

PETE MARSHBURN, 170 pounds
respective Qf power and football might, will
tor at the fullback slot against At
lantic Christian tomorrow night.
Pete, lighter than the average full
back, is a great defensive perform
er. His defensive play was one of
the bright spots in the Davidson
game.
mone, who has been working at that
position thus far in this campaign,
has gone back to his old guard
post.
Outcome? The Fighting Christi
ans took the measure of the Bull
dogs by a 13-7 count last year, so we
of the sports departmnt will string
along with dear ol’ Elon by two
touchdowns.
GUSTY
center stalwart for the past two years,
has beea working out at the blocking back position in practice sessions all
week, and may be seen running from that position tomorrow night
against Atlantic Christian. Paul’s specialty is backing up the line of
defense, a function at which he ranks among the best in the con
ference.
