South Leading Campus
Cagers A t Mid-Season
By GEORGE STANLEY
The intramural cage season is
at its midway point, and only one
team remains undefeated. South
Dorm “A” is that lone club which
lias not suffered a single defeat,
and it has defeated such formid
able opponents as Sigma Phi “A,”
Oak-Carlton and Qedar-Club in
its six-game winning streak.
Following close behind South is
the Kappa Psi quintet, which has
only one loss on its record. East
was the team which bumped the
Kappa Psis from tte ranks of the
perfectionists. The I.T.K. team,
after winning its first three
games, encountered trouble when
it played Kappa Psi and North-
North, going down to defeat each
time.
The best showing in the past
week was by the boys from North-
North. In that time they won four
games and lost none, but two
early season losses ruin their oth
erwise unblemished record.
During the coming weeks the
going will be tough, as various
teams fight to take over the top
spot now held by South “A”. That
leading aggregation has yet to
face such foes as Kappa Psi, ITK
and North-North.
South-North, playing without
the services of Bob Lewis, their
star pivot man, has been beaten
twice in the week of play.
The game^ thus far have pro
duced a number of outstanding
players. The South Dorm team
is sucb a well-rounded aggrega
tion, it is hard to single out one
player. However, Lou Rochelli,
newcomer on the squad, is prob
ably one of the flashiest players
in the loop until he was sidelined
recently by an operation. It is
reported that he is recuperatign
at his home in Wilmington.
North-North also possesses one
of the standout performers in the
person of Tommy Quackenbush,
who has shown up expectionally
well in the games of the first
half of the season. Jack Andrews,
former varsity player, now with
Vets’ Apartments, has been con
sistent in the scoring columns, al
though his team has been on the
short end of most of its games.
The Kappa Psis rely on C. K.
Siler and Ed Watkins to do their
scoring. Both are among the
league’s top scorers. Bill Perry
and Bill Hopkins have been the
scoring leaders for Sigma Phi,
and Pete Marshburn has been the
spark for the victories of I.T.K.

Elon Sends Speakers
To Various Churches
Elon College leads all American
colleges and universities in the
number of little “Daily Devoti
ons,” pamphlets used, according
to a survey published in ‘‘The
the Congregalfonal Christian Ad
vance,” national‘magazine of the
Church. Four hundred copies of
the quarterly pamphlets are dis
tributed here each term, Mcord
ing to Dr. Jesse Dollar, and pho
tograph of the white cross and
pamphlet-filled table in Alamance
Rotunda shows how and why Elon
can claim the leadership. Another
factor, which cannot be photo
graphed, is the innate religious in
terest among Elon students.

'Face Lifting' On
Campus Shrubs
The Elon campus received a
general “face-lifting” last week,
as landscape experts directed the
clipping and resetting of shrub
bery about each of the five build
ings in the main campus unit.
Much of the tall shrubbery,
which had masked the fronts of
the various buildings, was cut
back, and bare spots were im
proved with new planting. The
changes were made under the di
rection of the Rudd Nursery Co.,
of Burlington.

Representatives of the Elon
College facuty and student body
spoke in widely scattered Con
gregational Christian churches
last Sunday as part of the annual
observance of “College Day” in
the churches of the Southern Con
vention, an observance designed
to present the advantages of
Christian colleges and of Elon
College in particular.
The “College Day” program was
presented in some churches by
the local pastors, particularly in
churches where the pastors were
educated at Elon, but many of
the congregations availed them-
seves of the offer to send special
speakres.
Dr. L. E. Smith, Prof. A. L.
Hook,, Dr. W. M. Brown, Dr. D.
J. Bowden, and Prof. J. Earl Dan-
ieley were the faculty members
who had special speaking engage
ments, while Baxter Twiddy, Max
Vestal, Warren Johnson BiU
Tolley, and Sam Barber were in-
cuded in the ranks of student
speakers.
Dr. Smith was the speaker in
Norfolk, Dean Bowden spoke at
Franklin, Va., P rofessor Hook
spoke at Asheboro, and Professor
Danieley spoke at Durham. The
program at Asheboro also fea
tured the presentation of a special
skit by high school students, un
der the leadership of Max Vestal.
Baxter Twiddy spoke at the
First Congregational Christian
Church in Greensboro, along with
a sermon by the pastor. Rev. W
E. Wisseman. Other student
speeches were by Warren John
son, at Long’s Chapel; Sam Bar
ber, at Salem Chapel, near
Walnut Cove; and Bill Tolley, at
Lynchburg. A group of ’students
sang at the Christian Church in
Winston-Salem, and several stu
dents accompanied Warren Johs-
son to Long’g Chapel to take part
in th« service.
‘COLD WAR’
(Continued From Page One)
The basketball game of last
Tbursday nixht was marked by
general good sportsmanship on
both sides, although it did oc
cur rather spirited cheering by
rival student bodies. The ‘’heat’
was off in the state press after
a couple of days, and good
sportsmanship would dictate a
wish that relations between the
North State rivals may remain
on a high level, with no return
to events such as occurred
some years ago, when a flare-up
cost one Elon athlete a couple
of good front teeth.

Rampaging Rat
Rapped Rapidly
The usual serenity of a Sab
bath morning- was disturbed on
the Sunday of January 29th by
a skirmish between man and
beast in the halls of South
Dormitory, when George Stan
ley fearlessly effected the de
mise of a rat of gargantuan pro
portions.
Awakened from his rest by
the rodent’s efforts to escape
from a trap, the intrepid Stan
ley rushed to the scene in time
to see the intruder free itself.
Thowing caution to the winds,
Stanley attacked the beast with
a broom handle and promptly
killed it.
Grateful congratulations were
offered by George Seay who
had set the trap, and who
strongly suspects tiiis rat to be
the one wliich bit him on the
ear during its reign of terror.
South Dormitory is proud of
Geoige Stanley who has thus
proved his right to his place in
the Who’s Who In American
Colleges and Universities.
Club House Five
In Benefit Game
The Club House entry in the
Men’s Intramural cage league
journeyed to Greenwood on
Thursday, January 26th, aud were
defeated by the Greenwood high
school team 40 to 33 in a special
“March of Dimes” benefit battle.
The final score and the game it
self was immaterial, however, for
the Greenwood officias reported
a successful night’s entertain
ment for a worthy cause.
The students who made the trip
were George Etheridge, who led
the scorers with 14 points, Rich
ard Painter, Ireland Upchurch,
Bob Summers, Bob Montgomery
and A1 Pate. Coach Pate himself
was loud in his praise for the
bountiful entertainment extended
th« group in Irealnd Upchurch’s
home near the school.
Mrs. Sloan
Addresses
LR,C. Meet
Mrs. W. W. Sloan, of the Elon
Spanish faculty, appeared before
the International Relations Club
in a program feature which had
been long delayed and long await
ed by members of the group. The
delay had been occasioned by cott*
flicting programs on the campas;,
which necessitated postponement.-
In a very interesting talk, Mrs.
Sloan told the club of her travels;
in Spain, where she studied for a
while last summer. Her discus
sion was heard with interest,
since it included direct comments
and descriptions from one who
had been recently in the western
European country, a nation ittle
heard of today because of govern
mental restrictions. Along with
her talk, Mrs. Sloan showed films
which were taken during her
visit.
The meeting also enjoyed a so
cial gathering in the home of Dr.
and Mrs. E. P. Douglass, which
had also been postponed for sev
eral weeks. A feature of this
gathering was a discussion of Fed
eral Aid to Educatio’n, led by Bus
Wigmore, with various members
presen^g conflicting opinions.
The verdict appeared somewhat
divided on this subject. Dr. Doug
lass also offered some interesting
comments on State Department
policy in regard to citizens of the
United States in foreign coun
tries.
The I.R.C. members have hopes
of a trip to Raleigh in the near
future to hear one of the speak
ers offered there each Monday
night by the Church Federation.
Among these speakers are Ralph
Bunch and Miss Fosdick, both au
thorities on their subjects, nl-
terested students can obtain in
formation from the club mem
bers.
The Student Radio Club will be
represented by at Jeast one or two
candidates when the Radio Com
mission representatives give the
amateur license examinations in
Winston-Salem later this month,
according to Ray Hayes, the club
preseident.
