Christians Face Strong Indians In Conference Battle
I'm Telling You .. .
By ROCKY SILEO
Elon’s request to use Burlington s
new City Stadium to accommodate
tlie large anticipated Homecoming
Day crowd for tomorrow night’s
Elon-Catawba' battle was turned
down by officials of that city ... A
graver blow was dealt when it was
learned that Tailback Jack Spivey
might also sit out this all-important
conference clash due to a severe
shoulder injury incurred in the
£.C.T.C. game two weeks ago.

jnage.
South Dormitory has started off
that is, including the Guilford scrim-
the Intramural season with a loud
bang . . . Much of the credit for its
three victories to date goes to Cap
tain Ernie Klutz, who has perform
ed in the Shrine Bowl games and has
some sort of a baseball agreement
with the Red Sox.
A fine example of the tenseness of
the past World Series was illustrated
during one of the games when Bob
Hope, cinema funny man and mi
nority stockholder of the Indians
stood up on a particular play. A
fan, sitting directly t)ehind the co
median, yelled, “Sit down, ya bum.
I can see you anytime in the movies
for sixty cents.” The irreverent one,
having paid his $8.00 to see the
baseball classic, wanted to see just
that—and no side attractions.

Sports writers have already named
Larry Doby the best outfielder in
the American League for the com
ing campaign . . . Now where does
that put Mrs. DiMaggio’s two boys,
Dom and Joe? . . . And Lou Bou
dreau went so far as to say that the
Negro flash will be to the American
league everything Stan Muisal was
to the National league this past year
... a mighty tall order, eh?
Co-Captains John Zurlis and Claude Manzi, who will lead the Fighting Christians into battle tomor
row night, are both All-Conference performers. Zurlis, a Senior from Waterbary, Conn., was named to the
'41 select team. John is a rugged, 200 pounder who has alternated between the guard and tackle posts in
his four years of varsity ball. Manzi, a Junior from Upper Darby, Pa., achieved Conference honors last
season. He tips the scale at 185, plays guard and is in his third season with the Elon varsity. Claude is see
ing only limited action this year because of a recurring knee injury.
Early last week we asked Coach
Tomanchek when his Jayvee team
Mould roll again. He mentioned the
High Point game, whichi ncidentally
the Panthers won 13-7, and wondered
|f he would have enough men to
throw into the clash. He remarked
that many of the aces, namely Siler,
Annas, Lee and Davis, developed so
fast that they have been promoted
to the varsity. But the Jayvee men
tor had a formidable squad on the
field last Thursday night and they
turned in a fine showing.

Elon Seeldng First Victory

Mallory To Field Injury-Riddled Team For
Its Fourth Conference Tussle
By ROCCO SILEO
This is Homecoming
weekend at Elon. We’re expecting a great
many alumni from up and down the seaboard to trek back to the ol
alma mater about this time every year to renew acquaintances and par
ticipate in the various Homecoming activities of which a football game,

,We are also expecting a handful
Elon College gridiron tomorrow
night. The redskins In question aro
none other than the members of
Chubby Kirkland’s great Catawba
eleven which is currently holding
down a 2-1 conference standing after
a startling 20-13 upset by the Moun
taineers of Appalachian last week.
Thus the Indians suffered their
own Fighting Christians turned the
trick in 1941. But dont for a mo-
first conference setback since our
ment sell Catawba short. Coach
Kirklands crew from Salisbury will
be far from depressed for this tus
sle. In fact, we can expect them to
be keyed up to make amends for
their initial league loss of the cur
rent campaign.
While all this fuss was going on
at Winston-Salem, our own boys suf
fered their third loss of the season,
20-7, down at Newberry, S. C.
The Fighting Christians drew first
blood, scoring in the initial quarter
when Sal Gero blocked a Newberry
punt and Claude Gentry landed on
the free ball for a TD.
But t he Indians of Newberry
came back to tie the count before the
half ran out and then tallied twice
more in the third canto to put the
game on ice.
Feature performers in the New
berry tilt were linemen Elkins, Man
zi, Gero, Kozakewich, and Gentry.
The backfield stars were Barger,
McClenny, Johnson, and Tingley.
Far more serious than the out
come of the battle, however, was the
mounting injury list. Besides the
usual score of black eyes anl bruises.
Hank DeSimone sufferea a severe
knee injury while Mike Kozakewich
was forced out of action with a
shoulder separation. Both are doubt
ful starters tomorrow night, along
with Jack Spivey and Lou Savini,
■who sat out the Newberry clash with
shoulder and back injuries respec
tively.
Thus Coach Mallory will be direct
ing an injury-riddled crew imo ihe
fray. If Spivey is ready for the oat-
tle, then Elon stocks will rise tre
mendously. for the freshman tail
back star, who runs, punts, and pass
es, is the number one offensive
threat of the Fighting Christians.
Results? . . . We’ll let you pick
this one, and even offer a little tip.
Our boys will be out to pull the
same trick that Appalachian pulled
last week and you can rest assured
that the score won’t be in tune with
the 38-0 pasting the Indians handed i
our Fighting Christians last year.
Jaycees Drop Thriller
To High Point, 13-7
With seconds to go and the Fight
ing Christian Jayvees virtually as
sured of a tie with the Jayvees of
High Point, the little Panthers scor
ed on a long pass play to go ahead
13-7 and hand Coach Joe Toroan-
chek's crew their third reversal of
the season.
High Point drew first blood in the
exciting tilt when they intercepted
an Elon pass in the second period
and scored on the next play. The
try for extra point was good as the
Panther Jayvees took a 7-0 lead.
But Elon tied up the situation soon
after when, following a sustained
drive, C. K. Siler recovered Dick
Lee’s fumble and went over for the
score. Al Pate’s kick split the up
rights and the score read 7-7.
But the little Panthers pulled the
victory out of the air by completing
a 30-yard pass on the very last play
of the game tn win 13-7.
C. K. Siler, who has won a varsity
berth by virtue of his fine Jayvee
performances, once more featured
the offensive thrust with his run
ning, passing, and Kicking. Fullback
Lee also featured for the little
iPighting Christians on the offense^
while Bill Johnson, George Seay,
Jeff Davis and Pate sparkled on the
defense.
Despite the loss, the coaching
staff was well pleased with the Jay
vees’ performance at High Point last
Thursday night.
