The Fighting Christians (Heh,

mire as they defeated the Quakers
of Guilford College 25 to U m
the opening game of the season,
and then last Saturday night they
rolled with relentless drive to add
„ decisive 21 to 6 triumph over
the Appalachian Mountaineers. It
was really great to have two wins

season.
With the exception of the open
ing mnute of that Guilford game,
the Christians were in complete
command of the game. The bulk

the Christian aerials almost al
