I'm Telling You...
By ROCKY SILEO
We are still crusading for some
sort of insurance for the ip+ramural
performers. When you realize that
most of these boys play hard and go
aU out to win a game, your eyes
open to the fact that the situation
gets more serious with every game
, . . Ed Ellis suffered a broken finger
on the opening day of the season and
■was later hospitalized when compli
cations set in. Jim Parker has been
hobbling around for some time now
with a badly injured leg. These are
just two of the more serious mishaps
iri which there will be hospital ex
rays and doctor bills.
Thanks to a member of the Stu
dent Congress the situation may be
alleviated . . . this bright gentleman
has proposed a $100 Intramural
Tund for the Student Body. This
would be of some financial assist
ance to the woxmded performers.
There’S liothihg definite on the
Measure yet, but it’s a step in the
right direction.
Fighting Christians Rout Apprentices 37 To 12
Varsity Cagers Begin
Daily Drills Under Clayton
Approximately 40 eager candi
dates answered the first call to bas
ketball drills last week under the
direction of Johnny Clayton, star
and captain of the Fighting Chris
tian quintet last season, who will
not be eligible this campaign.
Conditioning and fundamentals
will be the main points stressed in
these earlier' drills.
Returning lettermen include Cap
tain-elect Lou Savini, who will re
port after the current football sea-
I son, Leo Kampman, Bill Hopkins, Ed
j Drew, and Lacy Gane. Lettermen
Don Kernodle and Jack Andrews are
in school and eligible but neither
-plans to play varsity ball this year.
For his fine performance last year,
teammates chose Kampman as the
most valuable player.
When the rejuvenated Fighting
Christians walloped the Newport
News Apprentice School 37-12 last
Friday night, it marked the first
time in three seasons of post-war
football that Elon had scored more
than 17 points in a ball game. That
great -offerisi^^ ‘display may be the
“shot iri the arm” our boys needed ;
to turn a' mediocre season into a
comparatively successful one.
Everybody knows that little
Frankie Albert of the San Francisco
Forty-Niners is a great passer and
field general, but his performance
against the NY Yanks a couple of
weeks ago displayed even greater
versatility. Back in punt formation,
the left-handed passer-punter drop
ped the "toss from center, picked up
tiie ball, circled to his left' with a
Yankee line in hot pursuit and
promptly booted a 25~ yard kick on
the dead run.
Display Powerful Offensive Drive
In Scoring Most Points In 3 Years
The Fighting Christians went on their most devastating offensive
rampage in the postwar days to smother the Naval Apprentice School
of Newport News, 37-12, last Friday night.
Displaying a great offensive pow
erhouse aided by the deadliest down
field blocking produced by any Elon
eleven since ’41, the Fighting Chris
tians racked up six tallies to exceed
the total scoring effort of their pre
vious six games.
Frank Tingley, young freshman
from Thomasville, rose to the great
est heights of his young college ca
reer with three touchdowns oa
