its first regular meeting of the
year in Prof. J. C. Colley’s class
room at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow

ficers are Henry Richards, of Elon
College, vice-president; Ray Po-
teat, of Blanchc, secretary; and
Ray Sherrard, of Burlington,
The William S. Long Chapter
of the Future Teachers of Amer
ica, which has a membership of
nineteen and about thirty other
potential members, is affiliated
with the North Carolina Educa
tion Association. In previous
years, the FTA has solicited only
seniors who intended to teach,
but this year all students who are
preparing for teaching are invit
ed to join.
Six members of the club, ac
companied by Professor Colley,
faculty adviser, attended the
Northwestern District Teachers
meeting, held in Winston-Salem
on Friday, October 14th, and par
ticipated in discussions over the
problems of the beginning teach
er, such as discipline, adolescence,
familiarity between teachers and
pupils and utilization of time. The
youngfer teachers admitted one
of their greatest problems to be
keeping of records.
The Elon students who attended
the Winston-Salem meeting were
Earl Short, Henry Richards, Stan
ley Avent, John Faust, E. W.
Bradford and Raymond Poteat.
Earl Short was elected by accla
mation as vice-president of the
FTA unit of the Northwestern
district.

NEWBERRY GAME

across in two rushes, and Carroll
Reid kicked goal to put Elon in
front 13 to 6.
The Elon fans had scarcely
taken their spsts when the Chris
tians struck for glory dirt again.
Newberry could do sothing after
receiving the kickoff, and Witt
kicked to mid-field. Two incom
pleted passes and a penalty set
Elon back to her own forty-four.
Then, like a bolt from the blue,
Grayson passed short to Marsh-
burn, and Pistol - legged Pete
scampered fifty-five yards over
the goal. Reid booted the point,
and Elon led 20 to 6 at intermis
sion.
The third quarter was score
less, featured only by a nice
goal-line stand by the Elon line,
but the fourth quarter brought
more fireworks. Newberry made
a bid to get back in the ball
game early in the final period
when Hank Witt spearheaded a
drive to the Elon four. Three
times the Christians smote the
invaders back, but on fourth
down Billy Seigler made a leap
ing catch of one of Witt’s passes
in the end zone to move the score
to 20 and 12. Causey blocked
Witt's attempted placement.
That score failed to kin the
Elon spirit, however, and minutes
later the Christians staged an
other goal-line stand and took
over on their own two. Barger,
Tingley and Biangardi featured
the drive from there, and Lou
Savini stepped in to climax the
expedition with a ten-yard touch
down toss to Bill Johnson. It was
26 to 12, and Elon had won four
games in fire starts for the sea-
ean.

BUHLINGTON, N. C.
By JOE SPIVEY
The Fighting Christians of Elon
hit a new peak in their play foi
the season when they came from
behind twice to defeat the Cataw
ba Indians at Salisbury last Satur
day night. The victory was the
first for Elon over Catawba since
1941 and proved sweet revenge
for the overwhelming defeats of
post-war years.
The victory, which brought joy
to a large and enthusiastic delega
tion of Elon supporters, added
to the Christians’ reputation as
■‘Home Coming Spoilers,” since it
wrecked all hopes for a perfect
reunion of Catawba’s old grads
The Elon outfit had done exactly
the same thing to E.C.T.C exactly
two weeks before.
It was that wonderful, rugged
line of Elon that was the key faC'
tor in producing a win over a
slightly-favored Catawba eleven.
Mr. Webster just doesn’t have
enough adjectives in his diction
ary to describe the terrific tack
ling, blocking and rushing that
kept the Indians’ attack bottled
up practically all night. The
Braves’ backfield roster should
have shown the names of Melvin,
DeSimone, Gentry, Causey and
Ludwig, because they played in
the Catawba backfield most of the
time.
The Elon backfield did not f^l
below the line in the beauty of its
play, for the running of Grayson,
Biangardi, Marshburn, Barger,
Brigman and Tingley proved
nothing short of sensational as
they dashed to glory and victory
behind the devastating blocks
thrown by Joe Erickson. The Bay
Shore blocking star celebrated
his return to action in a big way
after two weeks of enforced rest
due to injuries.
Catawba Scores First
Catawba drew first blood in the
opening period when Goodman
broke tbrough to block Graycon’s
quick kick on the Elon three. The
Indians took the ball there, but
Melvin and DeSimone stopped
Linder for no gain, and the en
tire line dropped him cti the next
play for a two-yard loss. Then
Coble carried over for a touch
down and true-toed the extra
point through the uprights to give
Catawba a 7-point lead.
Elon came roaring back from
her own thirty-one yard line, and
It looked as if the Christians were
touchdown bound. Grayson’s
passes and the running of Barger
and Marshburn moved the ball
down field in fine style, but the
drive ground to a halt on the Ca
tawba nine.
The Catawba attack was stymi
ed by the alert defensive play of
the Elon line, and Coble quick-
kicked to his own thirty-six. An
other drive started from there,
with Barger, Marshburn and
Tingley collaborating in carrying
the ball to the fourteen yard line.
Maivin and Ellis threw two great
blocks as Grayson went to the
nine, but a ten-yard loss and two
incompleted passes stopped Elon
at the Catawba nineteen.
Elon Penalties
It looked as if Elon could not
get the goal line, but the Christi
ans disproved the theory the next
time they got the ball. Pete
Marshburn moved to the Catawba
forty-six, as Ellis and Erickson
furnished the interference. Gray
son picked up twelve, Marshburn
got four, and Grayson pased to
Bill Johnson, who lateralled to
Erickson, who went on to pay
dirt.
A penalty nullified the play,
but the Christians were not
daunted. Barger, Brigman and
Biangardi took turns in driving
up to the eleven, and Barger
romped to the two. From there
Bulldozer Biangardi bucked
across. Carroll Reid’s placement
was wide, and Catawba still lead
7 to 6.
Catawba took the kick-off and
got exactly two yards on three
plays. On fourth down Co-Cap
tain Arnold Melvin broke through
to block Coble’s kick, and Elon
recovered. An off-side penalty
offset this play, however, and
Elon took over on its own twenty-
nine, where Coble’s kick went out
f bounds.
Elon Goes Ahead
Then came a series of breaks
that would have killed the spirit
of any other team, but Elon went
on to score again. Two penalties
and a loss of thirteen yards set
the Christians back to their own
nine, but pass interference ad
vanced the ball fourteen yards,
and Siler passed to Marshburn to
the forty-four. From there R. K.
Grayson "choo-chooed” in real
Justice style for fifty-six yards
for a touchdown. Reid booted
the point, and Elon went to half-
time rest with a 13 to 7 lead.
Catawba caught fire during
the half and came back to
score in three plays, one of Co
ble’s passes to Ward climaxing the
drive. Coble kicked the • point
that put Catawba ahead again 14
to 13. The Elon supporters
groaned at thus losing the lead
again, but the Christian players
must have growled instead of
groaned, for they took the lead
again in a very few minutes.
The Winning Touchdown
The third Elon touchdown, nad
the one that won the game, was
literally a gift to the team from
Co-Captain Arnold Melvin and
Claude Gentry. Grayson had
quick-kicked dead to the Catawba
nine, and Coble attempted to re
turn the compliment. The at
tempt was fatal, for Melvin drove
in to block Coble's boot, -and
Gentry recovered the ball in the
end zone for a touchdown.
After that it was just a case of
too much Elon defense, and Ca
tawba could never get started
again. In fact, Elon kept posses
sion of the ball for practically the
entire fourth quarter, thus block
ing all hopes of the Indians of
pulling the game out of the fire.

sulted in a 12 to 12 tie, with
both teams putting up a great
fight for victory.
The Elon squad will go into
the game with the finest record
compiled by a Maroon and Gold
eleven since before the War, and
a great many Christian alumni
are expected to gather back to
the old school and into Burlington
that night to see the Mallory men
bid for glory.
This will mark the final appear
ance of the Elon team on the
home field this season, since the
last two battles of the campaign
will be on foreign soil. This will
mean, then, that it is the last
game for many of the students.
Few of them will make the trip
to Lenoir-Rhyne, and many of
them will be away for Thanks

PROF. J. EARL DANIELEY
o’clock in the evening.
Professor Danieley, who is a
member of the National Associa
tion of Parliamentarians, Inc.,
was named vice-director for North
Carolina at the seventh national
convention of the group, which
was held in Chicago on October
3rd to 6th.
The f;rst three lecture periods
will be devoted to discussion of
such topics as suggestions to the
president, nominations and elec
tions, quorums and meetings, var
ious types of motions, officers
and minutes, debate, committees
and boards and amendments. The
final meeting will be dewted to
questions submitted by listeners.
BUI Anderson, after finishing
his work for a degree during the
summer session, has replaced Doc
Mathis as head coach at Sylvan
High School. Bill was on the
championship baseball team of
team’s other two scores.
The Day Student line out
weighed the South forwards, but
I they were never able to get to
I Kluttz before he got his passes
away. Chubby Brown, Wink
I Ward, Jim Burns and Clint Hor
ner stood out in the Day Student
line, while Henry Borneman,
Charlie Bishop, Gurley Ritter and
Bob Smithwick stood out for the
victors.
Another outstanding game dur
ing the past week saw the I.T.K.
outfit win its fifth victory of the
year, chalking up a 20 to 0 victory
over Oak Lodge-Carlton, despite
the fact that the fraternity club
had only eight men. Fred Clay-
tor gave a brilliant passing show
for the winners, while George
Shackleford, Jim Parker and
Deward Hooker also starred for
I.T.K.
South Dorm also spoiled an
other undefeated record when it
turned back Vets’ Court 27 to 0.
After starting slow and leading
only 7 to 0 at the half, the South
eleven finished with a bang to
score three times in the last half.
Ernie Kluttz, Bill Hopkins, Char
lie Bishop, Henry Borneman and
Larry Gaither stood out for
South. Carl Jones, an All-State
basketballer from Georgia, and
Jack Blaylock were the big
threats for Vets’ Court.
A1 Pate, Jeanne Pittman and
Marion Adams were named to a
committee to draw up resolutions
concerning improved bus service,
and a plan was approved where
by the volunteer cheerleaders will
select through try-outs any addi
tional cheerleaders that they think
necessary. The cheerleaders will
then elect their own chief.
The legislature approved the
sending of two delegates to the
weekend meeting of the National
Student Association at the Uni
versity of North Carolina last Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday, and
Freddie Williamson and Jaclc
Platt were named delegates.
