wars, and that’s how it was in the ley intercepted on the Elon forty-
gridiron battle between the air-1 four, and Fred Biangardi sparked
minded Pirates and the ground-
gaining Christians.
Spearheading the Elon blitz
krieg were R. K. Grayson, Fred Bi
angardi, Frank Tingley, Archie
Brigman and Pete Marshburn, who
rolled to a total of 235 yards on
the ground. Roger Thrift headed
a one-man aerial circus for the
Pirates and cut loose with 48
passes and 21 completions that i
gained 324 yards.
Statistics prove nothing, how
ever, for the great defensive team
of the fighting Christians rose
to the occasion and stopped the
Pirates when it counted most. As
a matter of fact, one interception
of Thrift’s passes by Bill Barger
was turned into a score by the
Christians, and Frank Tingley put
a quick halt to a couple of ECTC
drives by hauling in enemy passes.
A bright side of the picture was
the way the defense held the Pir
ates five times inside their own
15-yard line during the first half.
Led by Gero, Watkins, Ericson,
Snow and Farmer, the Christians
said, “Whoa, now! Not tonight!”
Hank Desimone was also a thorn
in the side of the Pirates as he
threw Thrift for several losses.
In gaining the important North
State Conference win, the Christi
ans started the lights flashing on
the scoreboard early in the first
quarter. After an exchange of
punts, E.C.T.C. had the ball on
her own 8-yard line, and Thrift
dropped back to pass. He tossed,
Barger intercepted on the Pirate
twenty-seven and lugged it back
to the six. Grayson took it over
from there in one try, and Sal
Gero dropped back to boot the
point that put Elon ahead 7 to 0.
The rest of the first half was a
see-saw struggle, with E.C.T.C.
threatening constantly. Four
times the Pirates were inside the
Elon fifteen before one of three
pass interference penalties placed
the drive that scored. It was Bi
angardi nine, Grayson twelve,
Biangardi four, Grayson two, Ro-
chelli to Biangardi twelve. Ting
ley four, Biangardi five, Grayson
four, Biangardi four, Biangardi
one and then Biangardi for a
tocchdown. Gero kicked, and
Elon led 14-10.
Maybe Coach Mallory put Had-
acol in the water at the third
quarter rest period, for the Chris
tians marched again in the fourth
period. Tingley, Grayson and
Biangardi all joined in lugging
leather as their team moved 78
yards for the final Elon score. Top
run of the drive was a scampering
dash by Grayson from the forty-
two to the seventeen, and six
plays later the little speedster
went around right end for the
score. Gero DOOD it again, and
Elon led 21 to 10.
There was no wild elation, how
ever, for just a week before Ap
palachian had erased a 14-point
lead in the final minutes, and
Elon settled to serious work. Bro
ther Thrift was not to be denied
though, and it seemed to literally
rain footballs as the Carrgoro
Comet filled the murky night with
tremendous passes. Elon halted
one drive on the twenty, but mo
ments later Thrift ran to the Elon
twenty again and, on the next play
tossed to Maennle in the end
zone. Maennle caught the baU
while falling, and the score was
21-16.
The game _was over a second
later as Elon held on to the ball,
and the fans started for the exits,
recasting the thrills in their
minds. Perhaps, they remember
ed that the longest and prettiest
run of the game was Archie Brig-
man’s 71-^?ard dash for touchdown
in the first quarter, a dash which
was called back by a penalty

POPULAR COMEDY
(Continued From Page Onel
More insight into the character
of thte booi'ish dinner guest is ^iven
by the company he keeps; the
stage is continually littered with
weird people, who send equally
weird gifts to him as Christmas
presents. For example, there is
Banjo (Ken Jacobs), a very cari
cature of a Hollywood comic, who
makes an entrance that almost
crumbles the sanity of the already
tottering household. Bob Wright
characterizes Beverly Carlton,
brilliant, if slightly wacky, Eng
lish playwright, whose sense of
humor and fair play and imitative
powers enable him to conspire
with Maggie against the Master
(Whiteside’s own name for him
self.)
Although the remainder of the
exceptionally large cast, which
includes convicts, choir boys,
radio technicians, guards, plain-
clothesmen and expressmen, has
not yet been decided upon, Mrs.
Smith states that the parts will
soon be filled.
“The Man Who Came to Din
ner” is the first of three outstand
ing dramatic productions to be
presented here this year. The
next play will be “Rope,” the
smash Broadway hit that was
made by Alfred Hitchcock into a
movie unequaled for suspense; the
final offering will ge “R.U.R.,”
the story of what COULD happen
if man ever invented a machine
that had the intelligence and will
to destroy all mankind.

Enrollment Of Veteran
Students Is On Decline
The G. I. veteran is a vanishing
animal, insofar as the registration |
office of Elon College is concern- ^
ed, and it appears only a matter
of time until college life returns
to the Civilian Age.
Gone are the days when one
could stand in front of Alamance
Building, look in any direction
and see scores of students garbed
in familiar sun-tan shirts, or O.D.
(olive drab) pants, and sometimes
both. And, according to W. E.
Butler, Jr., Elon’s business man
ager, the day is not too far away
when one can scan the enitre
horizon arounl the Elon campus
and not see a single living re
minder of World War II.
Back in 1945, the year the G. I.
Bill went into effect, there were
only 24 ex-G. I.’s entering Elon
College. In 1946, however, the
total zoomed to 375, and the veter
an enrollment reached its peak
number of 415 in 1947.
Then came the decline. In 1948
the number of G. I.’s dropped
only three to a total of 412, and
last year total still held up to 330
veteran students. This year, how
ever, the number of veterans en
rolled for the current term is only
197, a drop of 133 from the 1949
total.
1909 FOOTBALL
(Continued From P«ge Two)
the feeling was that football was
too rough.
However, the rough-and-ready
grid warriors had one more game
on their schedule, and they play
ed that against the wishes of the
faculty, meeting Bingham Mili
tary on the Fair Grounds field
and winning 16 to 11 to revenge
the earlier defeat. It was after
this game that football was abol
ished, and it was not revived until
1919. 1;*^
MEMBERS OF TEAM
Eligibility rules were not too
rigid in that day, for the superin
tendent of the Elon power plant
was coach of the team and also
played quarterback. He was
“Red” Rowe, now in the plumb
ing business in Durham, who had
played the sport while attending
Gettysburg College
The rest of the backfield includ
ed Henry Fleming, an Alamance
County boy, now dead, at left half;
W. W. “Bill” Elder, now a retired
Navy chaplain of Concord, Ga., at
right half; and J. W. Barney, now
of the Elon faculty, at fullback.
Henry Fleming, left half, was cap
tain of the team.
The line included M. W. Mc
Pherson, now in the securities
business in Burlington, left end;
Joe Pointer, from Semora, now a
salesman, at left tackle; Grady
Foushee, later killed in a motor
cycle accident, left guard; Ben
Joe Earp, now pastor of High
Point Congregational Christian
Church, center; Sipe Fleming, now
a high school principal at Ply
mouth, right guard; Joe P. Farm
er, now a retired Virginia tobac
conist, right tackle; and Russell
Campbell, now a leather goods
merchant in Hagertsown, Md.,
right end. C. C. Fonville, Bur-

ager.
There were no offensive and
defensive platoons in that day,
and most of the boys were “60-
minute men.” Each player owned
his own suit, and Professor Bar
ney recalls that his mother made
the shoulder pads that he used.

APPALACHIAN GAME

came hysterical, but none dream^
ed that Gabriel would blow his i
horn again. Elon took the kick-
off at her own six, ran three time-
killing running plays and then
Lou Rochelli punted to midfield
as the clock seemed to be run
ning out. A1 Hooks returned to
the Elon forty-one, and then it
was Gabriel in his act again. Two
passes fell incomplete, but he
connected with Hendrix on the
third, and Hendrix went to the
five. Seconds later it was Gabri
el to Hardin in the end ione for
another touchdown, and Cross
booted another point to knot the
score. A stunned Elon outfit took
the kickoff as the game ended.
Not overshadowed, even by the
Appalachian comeback, were R.
K. Grayson, Frank Tingley, Pete
Marshburn and Bob Lewis, who
bore the brunt of Elon’s offensive
chores. Outstanding on defense
were Sal Gero, Harry Farmer,
Bob Marshall, Jim Snow, Joe Er
ickson and Hank DeSimone.
