/ PAGE FOUR MAROON AND GOLD Wednesday, September 26, 1951 Elon Swamps Norfolk ISavy Eleven 37 To 7 It still takes the slogging foot-soldiers to win wars. and a ground attack is necessary to Win football games. That fact was proven when Elon's Fighting Christians swamped the Norfolk Navy Fliers 37 to 7 in Elon’s first home game of the season last Thurs day night. The Navy Fliers, representing the air arm of Uncle Sam’s sea- power, lived up to their name in the air, but Elon’s mighty de fensive line held the Navy backs to a net gain of exactly nothing on the ground, and thereby lies the story of the Maroon and Gold triumph. Big John Platt, Carroll Reid and Frank Tingley were the big guns in the Elon attacking power, both on the ground and in the air, but their successful thrusts into scoring territory were made possible by able cooperation from he Christian forwards. The Elon offensive got under way late in the first period, and Platt and Rochelli engineered a beautiful lateral on the first play ■of the second quarter for Elon’s first touchdown. Platt sprinted seven yards off tackle and passed off to Rochelli, who dashed to glory dirt. The kick for point was blocked.

Sal Gero kicked the point, but it was nullified by a penalty. Elon led 12 to 0. The Navy Fliers took to the air then, and Red McKesson climaxed a passing drive when he tossed ten yards to Dick Hoel for the lone Navy touchdown. Ed Godazk kicked the point as the half ended, with Elon out front by 12 to 7. The Christians netted one touch down in the third period when Carroll Reid returned Godzak’s punt 25 yards to the Navy thirty, and John Platt raced the rest of the way on first down. Platt was out a few moments later on a pen alty, and Elon was stalled the rest of the quarter. It was “Roll, Elon, Roll” in the final period though, as the Chris tians grabbed off three touch downs. Frank Tingley got two of these, the first on a one-yard plunge at tackle and the other on a pass from Reid that netted 35 yards. The pass was for 15, and Tingley ran twenty. The final score came when Bob Summers, substitute tackle, intercepted a McKesson pass and sprinted 38 yards. Gero’s only successful kick came on tliat sixth touch down to make it 37 to 7.
