as if the fraternity boys are out
to make a clean sweep of all in

copped the football, and now it’s
just a matter of who will be a ser

buclc in the second half to defeat
the All-Star aggregation 14-13
after trailing by 13-0. The All-
Stars tallied first early in the
gocU fi. quarter on a Bobby Jones to
ques- Lton Long scoring pass. Long
snatched the aerial from two ITK-
Alpha Pi defenders and raced un
touched to the goal in the play
which covered 53 yards.
Midway in the second period,
Jones again found Long open
aiong the right sidelines and fired
a bullet pass, which Long gath
ered in and outran the ITK-Alpha
secondary for his second TD of
the day. Cecil Charles was
caught behind tt>e lino of scrim
mage trying to pass for the extra
point. Isaac Bra.xton, Ted Webb,
and Stanley Bunch were the boys
who foiled the All-Stars’ bid for
the point—a play which was to
have an important role in the
outcome of the game.
Just before the end of tiie first
half, ITK-Alpha Pi found its last
scoring punch when Mike Rauseo.
trapped by the hard-charging All-
Star line, spotted Billy Byrd open
on the ten and little Billy scooted
across for tlie TD. A Rouse-to-
Cooper Walker pass added the
point. Halftime score: All-Stars
13, ITK-Alpha Pi 7.
Play in the second iialf was
confined to midfield. Neither
team offered much of a tiireat
until the final quarter. Then the
Intramural champions, in a sud
den burst of power and deceptive
ness, started on their own 30-
yard line and moved downfield
on a series of short passes from
Rauseo to Don Mcrriman. On
third down RaUseo uncorked a
long pass to “All-Campus” Sammy
Nelson, who went into the end-
zone for the touchdown and the
tying points. Ted Webb, with a
one-handed stab of Rauseo’s pass,
added the all-important winning
point...
The end of the game found the
ball at midfield with ITK-Alpha
Pi in possession. Thus, tiie Intra
mural football season came to a

Elon Is Winner In Newberry Battle
By MIKT RAUSEO
The Elon Christians finally elud
ed the jiiix which had followed

, whip a good Newberry eleven
2-14 before a small crowd at Clov
er, S. C., on Saturday night, No
vember 8th.
It was the first time the Ciiris-
tians had scored in three games,
und the second time they had
;cored more than two touclidowni
.n one game t.h's year.
Oddly enough, Elon's two big
gest backs, Fred Biangardi and
John Platt, who ordinarily furnisii
the impetus of the Christians
ground attack, were not in the
line-up for the game; yet Elon
rolled up an impressive 206 yards
on the ground.
Although there was no scoring
in the first period, both Newberry
and Elon threatened at least one

P.frker, a standout all night,
picked up two on a running play,
then Lou Rochelli passed to Par
ker and Gene Williams successive
ly for five and eight yard gains
and a first down on the Indian's
26-yard line. A penalty moved
the ball to the twenty-one, from
which point Rochelli passed to
Parker in the end zone for a
touchdown. Goley Gattis’ at-
lo give up more than one yard j tempt for conversion failed,
after four Newberry running plays. I In the third quarter, after Char-
Elon’s threat came later in the
period when George Stewart, Elon
guard, recovered Stanley Bessln-
ger’s fumble on Newberry 41-
yard line. The Christians offen
sive unit carried down to the nine
teen, where the attack bogged
Nat Burwell’s recovery of Ralph
Corley’s fumble on the Newberry
forty-one, provided lilon with the
first touchdown of the game. Joe
lie Berry returned Blackstone’s
punt to his own forty-five, the
Indians put together three fiist
downs to bring the ball to the
Elon seven where the stout Elon
defense held once again and took
ever on the six.
The second Elon touchdown
came with meteor-like swiftness.
Charlie Micliaux returned a New
berry punt eleven yards to the
sixteen. Joe Parker went for 13
yards on a reverse to the twenty-
nine. Then on a trap play Don
Graf, who has .seen limited action
this year, broke through for the
longest run of the night—71 yards
to pay dirt.
A few minutes later the Indians
produced their first touchdown
with lightning swiftne.ss. Charlif
Berry’s 10-yard pass to Mike Mak
sim in the end zone capped a
10-yard drive for the touchdown.
In the drive five passes accounted
lor 59 of the 61 yards. Grover
Davis kicked the extra point
which made the score 13-7, and
Newberry was very much in the
ball game.
* Midway through tlie fourth
quarter Elon .scored her third
touchdown. This drive, climaxed
i)y Joe Parker’s 25-yard sprint on
reverse, started from the Chris
tians’ thirty-five. Gattis’ kick
was good and the Fighting Chris
tians led at 20-7.
But once again, immediately
after receiving the kickoff, the
Indians uncorked a swift scoring
strike. Berry pased to Grady Kay,
who went all the way for tbe
touchdown. The play covered 48
yards. Davis’ attempt was good,
End the final score stood at 20-14
in favor of Elon.
The entire defensive unit of the
Christians played an outstanding
game, while Lou Rochelli, Parker
and Graf played brilliantly in the
Elon offensive backfield.
