Sahlmann Given Praise
After Musical Concert
Prof. Fred Sahlman, pianist, re
turned home Sunday, October 30th,
to appear in concert for music
lovers of Elon College and the en
tire surrounding area, and in a
well-chosen series of musical mas
terpieces proved that he possesses
a fine ear for the piano’s widest
dynamic range and the ability to
produce myriad gradations of
sound with his nimble fingers and
highly developed use of the pedals.
The pianist, who is on leave of
absence from his duties as a mem
ber of the Elon College music
faculty this year, opened with son-
.atas by Antonio Soler and Scar
latti, divided by an impressive
»ria by Rafael Angles. Each of
these profited by Sahlmann’s easy
facility in rapid figures and dem
onstrated a full measure of styl
istic understanding.
Moving with skill through three
parts of Beethoven's Sonata in E
Major, Op. 109, Sahlmann then
presented as one of his major of
ferings Variations Serieuses, Op.
M, by Mendelssohn, giving the lat-|
ter work great brilliance and'
power, presenting it with a sing
ing tone of unaffected beauty.
Other numbers which brought
great pleasure to the large and
highly appreciative audience were
Funerailles by Liszt, four parts of
Bartok's Suite, Op. 14, and Blue
Danube WjaRzes by Straus|h

this is a situation about which
the entire "Elon family” should
think seriously.

The political debate Jield re
cently in Whitley Auditprium
has invoked much comment
from l>oth students and faculty.
We are among the many who en
joyed the debate and hope to
see more formal debates at Elon
this year.
Also of great interest was the
student preferential vote. We
were interested to see the rela
tion between the pre-election and
the actual election on November
8. The poivlate voting booths
provided at this election are
another worthwhile contribu
tion of our S.G.A.
The Dining Hall and Food Serv
ice Conflnittee has been active
this week. Max Clayton, chair
man, and other committee
members have met several
times, once with Dr. Danieley
And again with Miss Urban.
Student Body President Ed
Boelte has expressed the hope
that soon we will have few com
plaints and more compliments
regarding the dining hall food.

been in progress for several weeks
under the auspices of the college’s
Student Government Organization.
Th project included campus ral

with an inter-party debate in a
student chapel program.
Student leaders for the major
party campaigns on the campus
were Cliff Hardy, of Franklin

Clements got the TD on a plunge
from the three, with a pass fail
ing for the points to leave Elon
trailing 13 to 6.
This seemed to infuriate the
homestanding Cats, however, for
they took the ensuing kickoff and
drove for a score. The kickoff re
turn carried past midfield, and the
Cat backs chopped out short yard
age to the four, and Jamie Wilkes
bucked over from there. This was
followed immediately by another
Cat TD, for Western Carolina re
covered a short kick-off on Elon's
48-yard line, and seven plays later
Boogy Bass raced nine yards to
paydirt for a 25-6 margin.
With the Cat regulars still driv
ing much of the time. Western
Carolina added fifth and sixth
scores in the fianl period. Re
covering an Elon punt fumble at
the twenty.^seven, it took just three
plays for Ken Morgan to count the
first one, and a pass to Bryant
added two points. Interception of
an Elon pass at the Christian forty,
-live set up the final counter, which
came when Tobe Childers tossed
16 yards to Barry Shirk. Again
pass added two points, and the
final score was written at 41 to 6
Three members of the Elon faculty, representing as many acad-T.iic departrr.ents, will appear on

After sitting through the Ca
tawba game at Elon’s Horaecom
ing, many things entered my mind
concerning school spirit at Elon
There were times when it was al
most as quiet in the stands as it
is in the Elon Library during study
hours.
Continuous begging by the cheer
leaders, with the help of a few
boys, finally brought the crowd
to life enough to produce a few
cheers, but there was not enough
continuous noise to eive the foot
ball team much help. ’■
Not only was the cheering sadly
lacking, the crowd was too small.
Elon is a small college and cannot
expect to fill the stands like one
of the larger schools, but the
Christians certainly deserve bet
ter suppori than they have been
getting.
In an earlier column I hit the
students for not at|tending the
igamee in larger numbers, and now
I want to take a crack at the Elon
faculty and alumni. One could al
most count the faculty members at
some games on one’s finger. The
team deserves better support, so
I would urge both faculty and
students to get out there for this
final home game with Lenoir
Rhyne and for future sporta events
this year.
(Continued on Page Two) I
handled the ball. Fred Biangardi'
scored eight times for 48 points
and gained 502 yards rushing to
rank among the top five backs in
the state.
Carroll Reid topped even the
best in the state’s "Big Four” in-
runback of pass interceptions, car
rying 222 yards on five intercep
tions, scoring touchdowns on two
of the returns. The Elon team also
topped the best of the “Big Four”
that season in total offense, pass
ing offense, total defense and rush
ing -defense. The records showed
that the Christians averaged 311
yards per game in total offens and
131.3 yards per game in defense
The Fighting Christians of 1952
did not have an over-all good sea
son, but they defeated Appalach
ian 13 to 7, Little Creek 28 to 25
and Newberry 2(5 to 14 in com
piling a 3-6-1 mark and register
ing a 1-5-1 mark in Conference
play. Elon met defeat at the hands
of Wofford 20 to 0, East Carolina
25 to 9, Catawba 12 to 0, Western
Carolina 12 to 0, Lenoir Rhyne
39 to 7 and Guilford 17 to 14
There was also a scoreless tie
against Norfolk Navy in the open
er, a game which broke a string
of 26 games in which Elon had
never failed to score. Lou Rochelli
and A1 Ludwig were co-captains,
and Rochelli and Mike Moffo, cen
ter, were named to the All-Con
ference team.
Coach Sid Varney took over the
coaching reins of the Maroon and
Gold eleven during the 1953 sea
son, but football was still at a low
ebb at Elon, with the Christians
posting a 1-6-1 season record and
1-4-1 Conference record, their only
loop win being a 13 to 7 victory
over Western Carolina. John Platt
star halfback, was given a berth
on the All-Conference team and
was later drafted by the San Fran
cisco Forty-Niners. Elon tied Ca
tawba 21-21, but she lost to Wof
ford 33 to 0, Appalachian 21 t°
19, iJast Carolina 45 to 25, New
berry 33 to 6, Lenoir Rhyne 27
to 13 and Guilford 9 to 0. Platt
and Dwight Dillon were co-cap-
tains for the year, with Revell
Morrison and Platt leading the
scorers with 24 and 20 points
Strong Team In 1954
The Christians of 1954 posted a
t>etter-than-average season record,
with a 5-3-1 season mark and a
4-1-1 Conference mark to place
second in the North State Confer
ence. Kerry Richards led the loop
with 37 points in loop games and
scpred 44 points during the entire
year. Fullback B*b Stauffenberg
crossed the double stripes five
times for 30 points, and both Stauf-
'enberg and Richard were given
berths on the All-Conference team,
along with Homer Hobgood, cen-
;er, and Glenn Varney, guard.
Hobgood was also named to the
All-Stale team.
Led by Captain J. C. Disher, the
^^ghting Christians lost their open
er of the 1954 season to The Cita-
iell by a 21 to 13 score, the loss
coming in the final two minutes
3f play. They were also defeated
by Appalachian 20 to 6, but they
were victorious over H^st Carolina

They defeated Catawba 36 to 12,
tied Western Carolina 20 to 20,
defeated Guilford 20 to 13, downed
Lenoir Rhyne 14 to 6 and topped
Davidson 14 to 6.
The grid season of 1955 was
definitely a disappointing one for
Elon fans, for Elon opened with
high hopes of winning the North
State Conference title, since the
squad was almost intact from the
fine season of 1954. However, Elon
got off to a bad start with a 39
to 0 thumping at the hands of Mis
sissippi Southern in a game that
saw Elon’s All-Conference fullback
igob Stauffenberg, suffer a broken
arm that benched him until the
final season game with Guilford,
■a game in which he scored twice.
The Christians of 1955 were also
defeated by The Citadel 26 to 18,
Appalachian 19 to 0, East Caro
lina 13 to 0, Newberry 19 to 0,
Catawba 19 to 0 and Lenoir Rhyne
:«mics on the rival campuses cut
'.he Christian season to six games
.^nd also cut the Elon Conference
play to four games, which was less
than the five loop battles required
by North State rules for a title
Therefore, due to the technicality,
the Christians were "Undefeated,
Untied and also Uncrowned”
Tri-captains of that great 1957
team were Bob Stauffenberg, Lynn
Newcomb and Bob Kopko, full
back, center and tackle respec
tively. Stauffenberg, named All-
State for the second straight year,
was also chosen ‘‘Player of the
Year” in both the North State Con
iference and the NAIA’s District
26. He led in scoring again with
54 points. Tony Carcaterra, tow
ering end, also received All-State
honors. Stauffenberg and Carca
terra were joined on the All-Con
ference squad by J. B. Vaughn
tackle; Tony DeMatteo, guard;
Lynn Newcomb, center; Charlie
iMaidon, quarterback; and Harry
Faust, halfback, who won berths
on one or the other of the principal
All-Conference selections.
The undefeated record for 1957
showed victories over Guilford 25
to 14, Appalachian 21 to 6, East
Carolina 21 to 17, Presbyterian 37
to 14, Newberry 34 to 7 and Lenoir
Rhyne 20 to 7. The record was
good enough to earn for Coach
Sid Vamey the honor as "Coach
of the Year” in both the Confer
ence and the NAIA’s 26th District.
Coming right after the unde
feated 1957 campaign, the 1958
season was another disappointing
one, with the Christians showing
a 3-6 mark for the year and a 2-4
Conference record. After defeat-

On Our Shelves
By WILLIAM CORDES
EDITOR’S NOTE; This is tiie
first of a new series, which from
time to will inform Maroon and
Gold readers of interestin;? booI«
to be found on the shelves of
the Elon College Library.
There are many new books on
'i.- ;helves of the Elon College
Library this fall, among them THE
AFFAIR, by C. P. Snow, who takes
us to the dimly lit halls of Cam
bridge, where a young physicist
is accused of faking scientific evi
dence on which his dissertai.ion is
based in violation of the active
honor system there. There char
acter is Donald Howard, a lef-
winger, whose case is being re-
lopened by the school. The author
introduces the theme that the more
intelligent man becomes, the more
disposed he is to honesty and just
ice. It is good timely reading.
Also highly interesting is Eliza-
ibeth Nowell’s THOMAS WOLFE,
a biography in which the author
shows splendid insight into tiie
life of America’s great natural
genius. Nowell develops for ti;e
reader the true temperamental
compulsions of Wolfe, who was
one of America’s great natural
geniuses. She brings Wolfe baclc
to life for those who have read
his books, taking the reader
through the land in which he trav
elled and wrote, from the slopes
of Asheville to the banks of tlie
Charles River in Boston.
In his TRUSTEE IN THE TOOL
ROOM, Nevil Shute does it again,
moving from the sincerity of pro
posal of his ON THE BEACH to
the warmth and intimacy of tiiis
new work, which is a book of liglit
reading that couples itself with
thought and humor. The charact
ers are small-minded suburban
ites of present society, the Do-It-
Yourselfers, with a desire for ad
venture that takes the reader
aboard a sixty-foot ketch which
sinks in a storm and brings in
a search for underwater treasure.
The conclusion is typical of Shute’s
love for the indivadual man and
sorrow for the masses.

The 1956 campaign saw Elon
post an even-split record, with
five wins and five losses, with a
4-2 mark in North State Confer
ence play. The five victories came
over Apprentice School 53 to 7,
Appalachian 19 to 6, Catawba 14
36 to 6 score.
Tony Carcaterra earned All-
State honors for a second straight
year after tying the all-time Elon
record for pass receptions with
28 catches. All-Conference berths
went to Carcaterra and to Charlie
Maidon, quarterback, J. B. Vaughn,
to 13, Western Carolina 26 to DelGais, halfback,
land Guilford 20 to 0. Defeats were DelGais topped the scoring with
by Alabama State at Jacksonville
13-12, East Carolina 19 to 7, Pres
byterian 20 to 14, Newberry 40
to 14 and Lenoir Rhyne 28 to 13.
Whitney Bradham and Edwin
Davidson, halfback and tackle,
were co-captains that season.
It was in that 1956 campaign
that Bob Stauffenberg, great full
back from orea. Pa., set an Elon
rushing record of 937 yards on 201
carries to gain both All-State and
All-Conference honors. Stauffen
berg also led in scoring with 54
points. Others who won All-Con
ference berths were Glenn Vamey,
guard; Tony Carcaterra, end; J.
B. Vaughn, tackle; and Whitney
Bradham, halfback.
36 points, and he and Carcaterra
were co-captains of the 1958 squad.
Despite a disastrous season in
1959 in which the Fighting Christ
ians won only one of tea games,
quarterback Charlie Maidon set
four new Elon records. He com
pleted 76 of 160 passes, new marks
for both passes thrown . nd com-
pjetions. This gave Maidon a total
of 170 completions in 361 attempts
for new four-year career records
in both number of passes and com
pletions.
’The 1959 season which marked
the end of Sid Varney’s seven-year
coaching rein saw Elon defeat Ap
prentice 22 to 0, and then lose nine
consecutive games to Guilford 27
