The football season of 1955 was a disappointing season for Elon fans, for Elon had high hopes for the North State Championship, boasting a nearly identical squad nucleus as in the previous sea son, which had seen the Christians runners-up in North State com petition. Howeevr, Elon got off to a bad start with a 39 to 0 thump ing at the hands of Mississippi Southern. It was in this contest that Elon's All-Conference full back.

SONNY MARTIN (Continued on Page Four) his freshman year, for he show ed then and there that the word “quit” was not in his vocaba- lary. In (act, that same year be said to Coach Vamey one day, “Coach, you can run me off, but yoo can't make it rough enough for me to quit.” Sonny was an end that first year, and he turned in one of the season's finest performances in the Guilford game. The next year he was switched to center, and he's been there ever since except when he got caught at fullback a few times after go ing into the line-up as a defen sive linebacker on the fnllback side. It's an interesting commen tary on his varied abilities that he rushed for a 9-yard average in his few experiences at full back. As a senior this year, he has alternated with Lynn Newcomb at the pivot post and has shared field leadership with Newcomb. -4long with seven other Chris tian seniors. Martin will close his Elon grid career with the Guilford game this weekend, but his spirit will live long in Elnn grid annals. There was a Broadway play about “A Streetcar Named De sire,” and Navy had "A Foot ball Team Named Desire,” so why shouldn’t Sonny Martin go down in Christian sports an nals as “A Football Player ^ Named Desire”?
