Th:c c - ne, wliich climaxed the tag-foo.t;;all season, furnished plenty of thrills for the spectator.^ as both iL-ams threatened in the see-snw battle. Len Fesmire con tributed one feature when he in tercepted a pass on his own forty and raced to the Oak-Carlton five- yard marker. The threat failed there. The All-Stars threatened again, in ihe final period when they moveJ to the five, but Addi son intercepted a pass' to block the threat.

This game will mark the first day-time appearance for the Christians this season and will be the great Turkey Day sports attraction fpr this area. Kickoff for the game is scheduled for 2:30 o’clock. This is the twenty-eighth renewal of the oldest football riv alry in the North State Conference, and no holiday game among the South's smaller colleges packs more intense rivalry between the contending teams.

Spying On Sports by JOE SPIVEY Lenoir - Rhyne Bears Destroy Elon Titular Hopes With 42-13 Defeat Girls Will Meet V.N.C. In Hockey ' The girls' Hockey Club will play host to the University of North Carolina coeds here on Wednesday, December 6th, when the rival £tick-wielders will tan gle in a coiitest to be played on the field at the Elon Ball Park. This will mark the first appear ance of a girls’ team from anoth er college at Elon in recent years. Plans for the contest were an- :r:'^ceJ by Jeanne Pittman, pres- -iaiiat of the Womea’s Athletic Asjjciation, who stated that the game will get underway at 3:30 o’clock and that there v/ill be no admission charged. Tlie Elon girJs wiil entertain the Carolina girls at dinner. | £loii giris who will participate an the game include Jeanne Pitt man, Aleane Gentry, Faye Cad- ataSl, Dolly Westmoreland, Jean Thompson, Patsy Milam, Zeda Gipgan, Doris White, Louise Spente, Lois Walker, Gaynelle ryar, Lacala Wilkins, Virginia Jtj'nigan and Sophie White. What happened on that fateful night of November 11th shouldn't happen to a High Pointer. By the way, “Wha hoppen?” * * * The Christians were rolling merrily along in the North State Conference, hoping for at least a tie for the football crown, and then a two-time losef stomped the living daylights out of all chances. Of course Appalachian had to show off and beat the A.C.C. doormat, clinching the crown. Never let it be said thaf we're poor losers though. Heart iest congratulations to the Moun taineers, and may they bring glory to the North State Conference in their TWO bowl games. * * * My opinion is that Lenoir- Rhyne has been the most under rated team in this Conference. How she ever lost to Eastern Car olina and Appalachian is an un solved mystery. If Coyne could have kicked extra points against the Mountaineers like he did against the Christians, t!ie score in that game might have read 21-20. Yes, and IF, the dog hadn’t stopped, he might have caught the rabbit. * * Another of my unimportant opinions is that the Christians’ downfall came as a result of poor pass defense. I mean this for the whqle season, too. High Point is the only team that failed to score on the Christians thus far. The others scored and at times threw a scare into the Elon followers. That boy Frye, in the Lenoir- Rhyne game, is a good example. He passed for FOUR touchdowns and brought the Bears into posi tion for Ti'udnak to score the other two. The other big blot is in the fact that a third-stringer, last name of Gabriel, completed two passes in almost as many minutes to bring Appalachian a tie and, as a result, the champion ship. The biggest shock of my short college career has been the way the people of Burlington stay away from athletic contests. I dare say one could find no better brand of competition in any other conference, and the prices seem reasonable. I have listened meek ly to many comments from out- of-towners in wonder at the small attendance. My flimsy excuses are to no avail, so I just try to avoid them now. * * ♦ The thump of basketballs is resounding through the gym once more, and the Elon quint opens its season against Carolina on De cember 2nd. An exhibition game against the Grand Rapids Hor nets disclosed promise of a good season for Dock Mathis and his bolys, and big George Glamack hailed the Christians as one of the finest teams his pros had faced. This was before they faced N. C. State. Ersel G. Moleskin wound up the next to last week of predictions by missing only one. We don't care to discuss which' one that 1950 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Elon 12, Emory and Henry 33. Elon 33, A.C.C. 6. Elon 14, Appalacluan 14. Elon 21, ECTC 16. Elon 13, Newberry 6. Elon 26, Catawba 12.

Er sel does want to remind everyone that, wliether we win, lose or tie, we must be good sports.

Just look at Elon’s football men on the Dean’s List this time, such as Bill Blackstone, Branch Bragg, Joe Erickson, Ernie Gero and Sal Gero . . . and glance at the otfier lettermen of last year on the hon or list, including Paul Causey, Jim Elkins, Art Fowler, John Spirko, Gene Hardy, Claude Manzi, Bill Perry, Luther Reece, Lou Savini, left Burlington Stadium on Sat urday night, November 11th, all Elon hopes for even a share of the North State Conference laur els for 1950 went right out the gate with them. The Christians remained behind, writhing in the throes of a 42 to 13 defeat. The Bears could do no wrong, and the Christians, it seemed, could do no right. The Bears started scoring early and kept it up too long. In fact, they rolled to five touchdowns in the first half and went to intermis sion with a 35 to 0 lead. They added a sixth score before the Christians broke the scoring ice late in the game. After an exchange of punts, the Bears started the fireworks. Moving from their own 44-yard line, the visitors ate up yardage, with Trudnak running and Frye dumped a pass into Little’s will ing arms on the six, and Trud nak scored from there in three tries. Coyne booted the first of six successful placements. An Elon miscue cost another touchdown minutes later,, with Abee covering Brignian’s fumble on the Elon forty-five. Three pass plays later the Bears had another tally, with Frye passing to Kirkpatrick for the big one. Jerry Robinson intercepted an Elon forward on the Elon thirty and raced to the six to set up the next touchdown, with Garrett talrtng Frye’s tos* in the end zone for the tally. Coyne kicked again, and Lenoir-Rhyne led 21 ;o 0 as the quarter ended. Lenoir-Rhyne added two more TD’s before the half. Jerry Rob inson turned in another timely nterception and romped to Elon’s twenty-eight. Not even a 15- other score. Trudnak bucked over the next one from the four after Frye put the ball there on a pass to Garrett. Coyne’s fifth kick made it 35 to 0 at half- time. The second half began much as the first had started. After an exchange of punts, the Bears marched from their own thirty- five, with the same old formula of Trudnak running and Frye passing. The score came on a lob pass from Frye to Coulter in the end zone. Once more Coyne Vv'as on the beam, and it was 42 tc 0. The Christian scores in the fin al quarter were just “too little and too late.” With the Bears’ second stringers in play, Lee and Watkins blocked Coulter's punt on the fifteen, and Marshburn hammered the line five times in a row, driving over from the one. Sal Gero booted the point, but the score was still 42 to 7. The waning minutes brought an 30-yard drive by the Christians, with Tingley, Rochelli and Marsh burn carrying to the Bruin eight. Then Rochelli passed to Len Greenwood in the end zone for the touchdown. Gero’s point missed, and that was it, all title hopes buried 42 to 13. meet, and the underdog outfit has frequently pulled an upset. Neither of the old rivals can win the Conference championship this year, for both have already been eliminated from the race. However, a victory for either in the game on Thursday afternoon will go far to erase the memory of defeats suffered in previous games, and coaches Jim Mallory and Eddie Teague have been driving their squads to the limit this past week in an all-out ef fort to win this contest. The Christians boast a some what better record for the season, \ for the Maroon a"hd Gold eleven has chalked up six wins against two defeats and one tie this year, v/hile the Quakers have an even split to date with four wins and four losses. However, Guilford defeated Emory and Henry 21 to 20 to break a long string of Wasp victories, while the Emory and Henry outfit swamped Elon 33 to 12. It all stacks up as a terrific battle ahead. This game will mark the end of the road in collegiate football for some of Elon’s brightest stars. Among seniors playing their final game are Co-Captains Pete Marsh burn and Joe Erickson, along with Mai McCracken, Archie Brigman, Ed Watkins, Jim Snow, Hank DeSimone, and Arnold Ward. Bill Johnston has anot^ier year of eligibity, but he leaves soon for duty with the Air Forces. These boys will be giving their all to wind up their careers in a blaze of glory, hoping at the same time to add another victory to the wide margin of wins which Elon holds in the Guilford series. Records show that Elon has won 17 games, lost seven and tied three in battles with the Quakers since the series first started back in 1919. Lester Foster and Larry McCau ley.
