Elon%heu,s'Panthers - Sereicc’Scores
For Home-Coming Win
By JOE SPIVEY
Elon’s Home-Coming menu last
Friday night consisted of eleven
Purple Panthers, and there are
reports of indigestion from the
consumers—the Fighting Christian
grid warriors. The Christians lit
erally “ate up” yardage and
'chewed” the Panther line to
shreds as they downed their anci
ent rivals from High Point 21 to
6 in a North State Conference
battle in Burlington stadium.
Bill Barger’s running, Luther
Reece’s passing and superb line
play on the part of all the Maroon
and Gold fowards, put the ball in
scoring position for Archie Brig-
man and Fred Biangardi to chalk
up the scores. Brigman tallied
twice and Biangardi once to give
Elon her margin of victory.
Brigman Scores
The early minutes of the ball
game saw the two teams exchang
ing punts, with Bill Barger return
ing a Panther kick to his own for
ty-nine to start the first scoring
ated in the sortie. Marshburn toss
ed a pass to Causey, which just
missed, and Brigman then con
tributed three yards. On the next
play Bill Barger flipped a forward
to Brigman on the Panther thirty-
eight and Artful Archie eluded
the claws of several Panthers as
he raced the rest of the way to
score. Reid booted the point to
put Elon ahead 7 to 0.
Penalties blocked another Elon
threat late in the first quarter af
ter recovery of a Panther fumble
on the High Point twenty-five,
but the Christians did not wait
long in the second period to count
again. High Point appeared to be
moving after McDonald returned
Siler’s punt to his own twenty-
four, for the Purple backs took
advantage of two penalties to
move to their own forty. The
Christians halted them there when
Claude Gentry recovered a fum
ble on the thirty-eight.
The Christians started rolling
from that point. Bill Barger
passed to Bill Johnson for a first
down on the twenty-six, and Bi
angardi picked up five. A penalty
against High Point put the ball on
the sixteen, and Brigman made it
first-and-ten on the twelve. Bar
ger and Biangardi contributed
five yards between them, and
Archie Brigman hot-footed
around left end for the score.
Reid’s placement was true, and
Elon advanced the margin to 14
to 0.
Panther Touchdown
The lone High Point score came
in the third quarter after Dave
Cheadle and Max Morgan blocked
one of C. K. Siler’s punts, and the
ball rolled out of bounds on the
Elon fifteen-yard marker. Two
plays gave High Point a first on
the Elon two-yard line, and an
Elon penalty moved it to the one-
yard point. Sal Gero and Frank
Tingley dropped Panther runners
for losses on two straight plays,
but Von Drehle flipped a short
pass to Fisher for the score. Ev
an’s attempted kick was low,
The final Elon score came in
the fourth quarter after the ball
had swapped hands three times in
quick order. Claude Gentry re
covered a High Point fumble on
the Panther ten, Dondoli inter
cepted one of Luther Reece’s
passes two plays later, and then
Elon’s Hank DeSimone, who
played a whale of a game all
night, blocked a High Point kick
which was recovered by Gentry on
the Panther nine-yard marker.
Third Touchdown
The drive started there, and it
was Biangardi all the way. The
JAY-VEES LOSE
IN AUGUSTA GAME
Elon College's Jay-Vee eleven
went down before a powerful
Augusta Military Academy
team at Fort Defiance, Va., last
Saturday afternoon by a 26 to 7
score. The Baby Christians
chalked up more yardage and
more first downs than did the
Keydets, but failure to unleash
more scoring punch proved fatal
to Coach Joe Tomanchek’s
forces.
The Jay-Vee’s lone tally came
in the final quarter as Carroll
Reid went fifty-five yards on a
punt return behind some mighty j
fine blocking. Reid then place-
kicked the extra point.
The running of Reid and
Branch Bragg, the passing of
Lou Roselli and the pass-catch
ing of Bob Lewis featured the
offensive play of the Baby
Christians, while Joe Jemigan,
Bob Reece and Dick Lee starred
on defense.
Hit For Elon Players
VETS' APARTMENT
NEWS
By RAY HAYES
“Big Bulldozer” hit the line four
times in a row and smashed far
into the end-zone on the fourth
and final try, taking several Pan
ther tacklers with him. Reid
could not miss all night, and once
more he booted squarely through
the uprights. It was 21 to 6, and
that was it.
APPRENTICE GAME
(Continued From Page Three)
yards, going out of bounds on the
Apprentice thirty-seven. From
there seven Christian running
plays carried to the seventeen as
the quarter ended, and Pete
Marshburn rifled a quick touch
down pass to Bill Johnson on the
first play of the second quarter.
Reid once more kicked point to
run the score to 14 to 0.
The naval team again received
and again punted, Harwood’s boot
carrying to Elon’s twenty-four,
but his beautiful kick proved in
vain. The Christians started there
and piled up four first downs in
going to a third touchdown. Fred
Biangardi bulled his way for eigh
teen yards to ^tart the drive and
climaxed it with a one-yard smash
for the score. Reid’s kick was
j good again, and Elon moved to a
j 21 to 0 lead.
Early in the third quarter Len
Greenwood blocked a punt on the
Apprentice nine and fell on the
ball himself in the end zone for
another touchdown. For the
fourth time in a row Carroll Reid
split the uprights with his kick.
It was then 28 to 0.
The Ship-builders then staged
their best threat of the night,
moving to the Elon four, where
the Christian defensive tightened
and knocked the enemy back to
the 10-yard line.
Luther Reece, who played one
of his best games for the year,
scored one of the other touch
downs, and Bill Butler, talented
freshman, moved the ball over for
the sixth touchdown.
Dr. L. E. Smith, Elon’s president, was honored with a surprise
birthday party at his home recently, and he is shown above blow
ing out the candles which adorned the big cake. Standing in the
background are members of the Elon College Choir, which was
present and furnished music for the occasion.

NINETEENTH YEAR
(Continued From Page One)
Endowment Fund, and the col
lege has today investments of
$165,000 over and above endow
ment.
As Dr. Smith began his nine
teenth year, the college is in the
midst of a great ten-year pro
gram designed to raise $2,000,000
for campus improvements. Al
ready half a million dollars of that
amount has been raised, and num
erous improvements have bene
made in the physical equipment
of the college.
'There was both comedy and
tragedy in the two-night showing
of “Room Service,” three-act
Broadway play, which the Elon
Players presented in Whitley Au
ditorium on Tuesday and Wednes
day nights of last week as the first
of five dramatic presentations of
the year.
The comedy was on the stage
from the first curtain to the last,
while the tragedy lay in the fact
that so many students and towns
people missed out on a great en
tertainment feature. Tlie crowds
were small, far too small, on both
evenings that the play was offer
ed, and the hundreds who stayed
away were very definitely the
losers.
Mrs. Elizabeth R. Smith, be
ginning another year as director
of the Elon Players, did a great
job of casting for this play, and
all of the students actors fitted
their parts well. All appeared to
know their lines well, and little
if any, ad-libbing was evident to
tlie audience.
Outside critics who viewed the
performance of “Room Service,”
branded it one of the Payers’ best
offerings, one which compared
favorably with last year’s presen
tation of “Arsenic and Old Lace,”
which is generally conceded to
have been tops for . the campus
dramatic group thus far.
Robert Rubinate, playing a dif-
fiult role, which kept him on the
stage most of the time, showed
complete mastery of his lines at
all times. He gave, perhaps, the
finest individual performance in
portraying the hard-pressed dra
matic producer, but he had excel
lent support and was hard-pushed
for honors by others in the cast.
Robert Wright turned in a fine
performance as the hotel examin
er, and Ken Jacobs and Nash Par
ker were convincing in their roles
of dramatic director and play
wright. Others who helped to
put ‘Room Service” across in hi
larious manner were Walker Fes-
mire. Sue Edwards, Fleta Moffett,
John Vance, Allen Pierce, Roger
Wilson, A1 Godwin, Jerry Allen,
Robert Lindsey and James Horne
CHRISTIANS MEET
BFARS SATURDAY
The Christians go after more
“big game” up at Hickory on
Saturday night when they battle
the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears in a
game that promises to be a
tough scrap. Elon has not de
feated the Bears since before
the War, and Coach Jim Mallory
and his men are bidding high
for a vietory.
The Elon eleven is now in sec
ond place in the North State
Conference, with Lenoir-Rhyne
just a game behind in third
place, and the Saturday set-to
in Hickory is expected to draw
a big crowd. The Mallory men
are reported in good shape for
the game after winning their
seventh victory of the'year over
High Point last week.

The entire program was ar
ranged and staged under the di
rection of Prof. J. Earl Danieley,
of the Elon Chemistry Depart
ment, who expressed his appreci
ation for the excellent cooperation
on the part of other faculty mem
bers and the students.
The wives of Elon students will
be admitted to all athletic events
free of charge. That’s right, fel
lows! Such was the report ren
dered by the committee from the
! Veterans’ Apartments, which vol-
! unteered some weeks ago to dis-
'cuss the matter with the college
! administration.
However, the college officials
announced that, despite the fact
that many students had already
paid for season tickets for their
wives, accounting processes would
make it impossible to refund the
money already paid into the
treasury.
Acting upon this fact and in all
fairness to the veterans who had
already bought tickets, it was
voted at the last mefeting to re
fund from the Veteran’s Apart
ments treasury the money for
tickets already purchased. This
will not place a burden upon any
one, since it will come from the
treasury.
The veterans also voted at their
last meeting to thank the admin
istration for its consideration and
to request, since there could be
no refund for tickets already
bought, that the money for those
tickets be donated to the fund for
the new gymnasium.
Officers of the Veteran’s
Apartment government again
urge that all citizens of the area
attend each and every meeting.
The meetings are held in Ala
mance Building, at 7:30 o’clock
every other Wednesday night, and
there is always something of im
portance to be considered.
