The thing about Frances was,
she made him feel so valuable.
She wanted to please him every
way she could.
Her letters with the Box S2,
Elon College, N. C. return address
were coming almost dally, now
The mailman out in the Bayview
section of Norfolk kidded him
about that, but he really didn'
mind.
Not when he'd tear open the
envelopes and find something like

Segovia records, I realize that you
too, are an experience I’ve been

It was strange that each of them
was writing this way now. Why
couldn’t this have happened when
they both could have enjoyed Sen

have been said then Instead of
now when he was working for a
newspaper up in Virginia—a long,
long way from where she’d just
begun teaching at Glbsonville?
He’d written her he thought he
might drive down to see her over
Thanksgiving. In that same letter
B few weeks past, he’d told her
he’d done something about that
picture of himself.
“Buddy of mine shot a few at
Ocean View for me,” he wrote.
Ordinarily, letters were a chore
for him. His family had always
complained he hadn’t written
enough of them when he was at
Elon. Letters were easy, now. He
even found himself writing funny
stuff to Frances. "I mailed the
film away to a place nearby and
they'll send It directly to you in

Newberry Tops Elon By 56-21 Count
The Newberry Indians broke
loose with three home-run plays
and took alert advantage of four
Elon miscues as they rolled for
eight touchdowns In a 56 to 21 vie
tory over the youthful Elon Christ
ians on Newberry’s Setzer Field
last Saturday night, November
7th.
The Indians unleashed the most
powerful offense encountered by
the Christians this year in grab
bing the top-heavy victory, for
Coach Harvey Kirkland’s boys
drove for 276 yards on the ground
and passed for an additional 149
yards to compile 425 yards in total
offense. It was the greatest offen
sive show as well as the largest
score registered against the Christ
ians this season.
The Christians themselves also
had their best offensive night as
they rolled up a total 312 yards,
Including 218 yards rushing and
94 passing, against the Indians'
highly-touted defensive Bandits
It was the first time this year that
Coach Sid Varney's boys had top
ped the 300-mark In offense, but it
was still not enough to win against
the fired-up Redskins
The Christians grabbed an early
lead when they drove 57 yards
with the first kick-off, a drive
that ended with Dick More buck
ing over from the one for the TD.
with George Wooten booting the
extra point for a 7-0 lead at the
five minute mark.
The Indians retaliated quickly
for the tying score as Wyman Tay
lor topped a 70-yard drive with
a one-yard plunge and kicked the
extra point for a 7-7 count at the
13-minute mark. This was the first
of four Indian TD's In the first
half, leading to a 27-7 half-time
count.

A pair of Elon miscues set up
the next two Newberry scores. An
Elon fumble at the Christian five
set the stage for Dick Seastrounk’s
5-yard run for the scond Newberry
score of the game, and a blocked
Elon punt at the Christian four
teen set up the next score, which
came with Seastrunk bucking over
from the one. Taylor kicked good
after each counter. Seastrunk got
his third score and Newberry’s
fourth TD just after intermission
after Jimmy Lowder returned a
Christian punt to the Elon 26-yard
marker. The kick was wide after
this score
Jimmy Lowder broke away on
a 63-yard touchdown jaunt In the
first two minutes of the second
half, and later In that third quarter
the same speedy Indian back
sprinted 90 yards on a kick-off re
turn for two of Newberry’s home-
un plays. Taylor kicked good on
he first, but he failed on a plunge
"fter the second. Between these
two Indian markers, Elon counted
her second touchdown, with Bob
Overton plunging from the four
to climax a 91-yard drive. A pass
failed for the Elon extra point, and
the third period ended with a 40 to
13 count
George Herndon raced 47 yards
for a Newberry score after one
tainute of the final period, and an
interception of an Elon pass at
mid-field set up the final Indian
imarker that was scored by Bill
Bethea on a 6-yard plunge. Passes
were good for two-pointers after
each of these scores. George
Wooten directed Elon’s final scor
ing drive, which carried 78 yards
and ended with Wooten himself
bucking from the one. Wooten
passed to Jim Buie for the two-
pointer which ended the scoring at
