Eloii Defeats Catawba
21-14 In Annual Battle
By JOE SPIVEY
Taking to the air via the strong
right arm of tailback Lou Rochel-
li, the Fighting Christians downed
the Catawba Indian? 21 to 14 at
Salisbury last Saturday night to
gain sole claim to first place in
the North State Conference race.j
The game proved a defensive I
struggle until the closing minute
of the first half, when Harry
Farmer intercepted a Catawba
aerial and ran it 45 yards to the
.Indian twenty-one. Three plays
netted only three yards, but Ro-
chelli. flipped a fourth-down pass
to Bill Blackstone in the end zone
for a score. Gero’s kick was
good, and Elon led 7 to 0.
The third quarter got under
way with a bang, the Indians*
rolling to a score in two minutes.
Pickens returned the kick-off 43
yards to mid-field, and seven
running plays later Linder scored
from the two. Coble’s placement

tied the score at 7-all. Next time
the Indians got the ball, they
duplicated the stunt, though it
took five more plays to send Lin
der over from the one. Coble’s
kick put Catawba aheadl4 to 7.
The Christians came to life in
the fourth quarter. With Fred
Biangardi passing ' and Lou Ro-
chelli running, they moved from
their own forty-seven to the Ca
tawba five. Unable to crack the
Catawba line, Rochelli passed
again on fourth down to Jack
Christy for the score. Gero’s true
placement Imotted things at 14-14
With three minutes left and
the Christians deep in their own
territory, Rochelli uncorked a
long pass to Frank Tingley that
carried from Elon’s nineteen to
the Catawba nineteen. Three
plays lost a yard, and then on
fourth down again Rochelli took
a lateral from Biangardi and
passed to Christy, who wrested
the ball from a Catawba defender
for the winning marker. Gero
kicked his third straight point,
and Elon had won 21 to 14.

the stage production.
Finding himself deep within
the maze of comical confusion is
Corporal Clive Winton, an Ameri
can Airman, whose role is en
acted by Tom Targett. Targett is
one of three newcomers to the
Elon stage, the others being Ed
Woodward, who is to play the part
of Sergeant Towers, and Joan
Wickman, who is to enact the
spinster role of Miss Skillon.
See How They Run” offers a
dash of melodrama in the form
of a mysterious intruder, played
by Roger Wilson. Ed Engles, who
won the leading role “Oscar” last
year, has been cast as the Bishop
of Lax; and Joe Brankley will be
seen as the bewildered Reverend
Arthur Humphrey.
Backstage workers include Ann
Wilkins, who acts as prompter for
the production: and Myrna Mof
fett and Ann Wilkins, who will be
in charge of costumes and make
up for the play. There is also a
large stage and properties com
mittee, and Barbara Chapman,
Ann Wilkins and Ann Worley
have prepared attractive posters
to decorate the campus and sur
rounding area in clever advertise
ment of the three-act farce.
Aside from daily rehearsals, the
Elon Players are spending a great
deal of time in preparing cos
tumes and settings, working un
der the direction of Mrs. Elizabeth
R, Smith.

was an open invitation to all

And Some Volunteer
Now we approach method num

This method alone accounts for
nine-tenths of our budding, back
woods Barrymores. This is the
volunteer type of ham. After a
modest admission that he stopped
the show with his histrionic en
deavors in the old home town,
he reluctantly accepts a part in
whatever play happens to be in
progress at the time. This eager
and aspiring ham admits later that
his great home town role was that
of oneo f the Magi in a Christmas
pageant at the age of seven.
These are the chief methods of
recruiting thespians for the boards
