PAGE FOUB MAROON AND GOLD Wednesday, November 23, i960 REID THIS/ miD, great Eton Colleee meane a deal to me. Else I wouldn't be writing this on my own time. Yet, to £W that Elon is perfect weuld be folly. It’s had its faults and I suspect it still does. When I was on campus in the mid-Forties, Elon was bounded not only by the brick wall (dandy for painting class numbers and ball scores) but by regulations. Silly old rules. Then the dean of women tried to add another one. "Men will wear coats and ties to the dining hall,” she decreed. Obviously, the prim lady never knew the comfort of a tee shirt ;nd dungarees. Come to think of K, recalling her bulk, 1 don’t be lieve she could have known the comfort of either. College officials ought to know that the more restrictions they place on youth, the more he's go ing to figure out how ^ get aroimd it. Society needs must have basic discipline, but when you go to messing around with t»« shirt and dungaree liberties, you’s just gone too plumb far. Coats and ties, eh? All right. I pul an overcoat over my dun garees and tee shirt. I had a tie around my collarless tee shirt. My roommate, Leopold Malcolm Smith, wore his tie around his forehead in the manner of Julius Caesar’s laurels. I think he bor rowed his Girl’s housecoat. Somebody else wore a Suit coat as per dean's demand. It was on backwards. As were his trousers end shirt and tie. The boy went one way and his clothes the other, in effect. One daring soul rigged up a ridiculous ensemble. His coat became his trousers and he ripped up an old pair of pants to become a shirt. This costume involved certain risks which, for tunately, were met by a sympa thetic coed who had access to a home ec sewing machine. We won our tee shirt case, of course. I hope it was a lasting victory. Much Interest In Football Interest continued high in camp us tag football competition throughout the season, with Caro lina Hall, the Cox Men and South Hall battling hard tor title bon-' ors. Final resuHs for the season,^ whioh has been closed out prior ■. to the holidays, were not avail able in time for this issue of the ■ Maroon and Gold, but Carolina Hall was topping the standings through November 14th. On that date Carolina Hall showed an 8-2 record for the year, with the Cox Men half a game be hind at 7-2 and South Hall half a game further back with a 7-3 ■ mark. Both the Cox Men and South Hall had protested games to play after that standing was announced, with Cox due to meet the Packers and South due to meet Sigma Mu Sigma. Other teams in order of their rank were Kappa Psi Nu, Packers, Sigma Mu Sigma and the Savages. Eddie Clark, of South Hall, was leading the individual race for most touchdown passes thrown EDITORS OF 1961 EDITION OF ELON ANNUAL TEDDY STANDLBY Student le«deK of (he Phi Psi Cli staff, which is hard at work in pre|>flratio» of the material for the 1961 edition of the Elon Col lege annaal are Teddy Standley, left, a seBTor from Wenham, Mass, whe is editor-in-chief of the ??arly pablication, and Ruth Lemmons, right, j«nior from BnrBiigton, who is assistant editor.

RUTH LEMONS Presbyterian Tops Elon 32 To 6 In Final Game Ten Magic Moments On Elon Gridirons Striking by land and air with almost equal power, the Presby terian Blus Stockings rolled for a decisive 32 to 6 victory over the Elon Christians in Clinton, S. C., last Friday night before a Parents’ Day »rowd of 3,000 Presbyterian fans. The Presbyterian eleven struck for two quick TD’s by land in the first quarter as halfback Billy Benton climaxed drives of 56 and 54 yards with short plunges for scores. Bill Riddinger kicked good after the second touchdown. The Christians halted Presbyterian drives at the Elon twelve and three before the half ended, but the Hose held a 13 to 0 edge at intermission. * * • HOW IT HAPPENED during the season, having tossed 19 scoring throws .Trailing him were Jim Leviner, of Cox, with 13 and Leroy Mayers, also of Cox, with 11 TD throws. Clark had also thrown 14 extra-point passes, trailed by Bill Troutman with 13 and Leroy Myers with 11 extra point tosses. (Continued From Page Three) the East Carolina Pirates on Oc tober 11, 1951, for no less than eight new Elon team and individ ual marks were set in the fray. The Fighting Christians compiled a total of 560 yards net gain from scrimmage, moving 313 yards through the air. They also com piled a new mark of 20 passes completed in 32 attempts. Four new individual offensive! eluded three by Lou Rochelli. Ro- chelli completed 18 passes in 27 tries, netting him 293 yards. He also ran for 72 yards to grve him a total qlJEensitve mam. erf 365 yards. The fourth individual rec ord was by Leonard Greenwood, lanky end, who caught nine pass es to set an NAIA record which still stands today.

Conatser has a deadly jump shot, and he drives well through enemy defenses. HERB HAWKS — Hawks, one of the original “Blue Grass Boys” who came down from Kentucky with Coach Miller last year, is one of the two seniors on the squad this winter. He is a 6-2 forward from Louisville, Ky., and he woa many honors in junior college ball. He hit for 93 points in 25 games last season. BARRY HODGE — Hodge, who is a 6-1 sophomore leterman from Burlington, won his letter as a reserve guard with the Cljristians last winert. He has a good shot and excellent ball-handling ability, and the fact that he begins this season with much-needed extra Lenoir Rhyne Is Winner (Connnued from Page Three) they battered fruitlessly muij times against the rock wall of Elon's defense. Taking the opening kickoff and returning to their own thirty- eight, the Lenoir Rhyne outfit looked like the Number One team *s it drove 62 yards for its first touchdown. Tony McClamrock tossed twice to Adam Maples for 17 and 30 yards as feature plays, and then McClamrock himself smashed five yards for the touch down. Marion Kirby kicked good for a 7 to 0 margin, but there were no more scoring drives. The second Lenoir Rhyne touch down was definitely a gift. George Wooten, who played mightily for Elon all night, fumbled on the Christian one. and McClamrock recovered for the Bears. On the next play Richard Kemp bulled across, and Kirby again kicked the extra point, but on four other occasions the Elon defenders rose up and denied the Bears entrance te touchdown land. weight may make him a valuable man this winter, since his scant 150-po*nds of last year was light for the rugged action of college play. PAUL HYDE — Hyde is a 6-6 freshman center, who came to Elon from Chicago, III., and his towering height alone makes him a poss^lity for much service with the Christians, since one of the things needed by the team is height around the bacqboard. JUG IRVIN — Irvin, a 6-2 jun ior college transfer, whose home is in Burkeville, Ky., came to Elon at mid-year last winter, but the cage season was far advanced, and Coach Miller held the sharp- shooting forward out of action for the remainder of the season. He starred in the outfield with the Elon baseball squad last spring. His scoring has been of the out standing variety in early practice g(*nes this fall, and he could prove one of the top scoring threats in the Conference this season. ROLAND MILLER _ Miller, a 5-10 freshman guard from Lake- Phi Psi Cli (Continued From Page One) will be followed throughcut the book. Last year's annual had no euch theme, and a bit of tradition was lost in its absence. The first draft of the picture layout has been relumed to the staff by Delmar Studious, the In the first quarter the Bears went to the Christian thirteen, but George Wooten intercepted a pass in the end zone to end the threat. In the second quarter, the Bears drove to the Elon six, where the Elon defense smacked them down. It was after that drive, however, that the Elon fumble gave them their second score. In the third quarter McClam rock went over for a score, but a penalty set the Bears back to the nineteen, and Elon stopped them at the five. In the fourth quarter there was another Lenoir Rhyne threat, which ended at Elon's eight as Wooten for a second time inter cepted a McClamrock pass in the end zone. The Elon eleven was denied a touchdown on the final play of the first half. George Wooten re covered a punt fumble by Marcus Midfeett on the Lenoir Rhyne six teen, and on the next play Wooten bootlegged and raced over the goal. An official ruled that he stepped out of bounds on the one, and time was called before Elon could run another play. Just as was the case against Newberry, the Christian defense stole the show. The Bears rolled for 274 yards net rushing and passed for 72 yards, but both fig ures proved fruitless as the Christians smacked down the en emy ball carriers when the chips were on the table. Pacing the Elon defense were Tom King and Tony Markosky, ends: Garrie Warren, tackle: Talking Sports (Continued From Page Thte«> 1954 football season by defeating the Davidson Wildcats 14 to 6 at Davidson. The Victory gave Elon lier most successful season since 1951 and spoiled Wildcat hopes for the best season in Davidson history. It was a big day for Elon, for she had not defeated David son in sixteen previous t>attles. Bob Stauffenberg, third highest scorer in grid history at Elon, bulled over for the first touch down, and Jack Simpson's kick put Elon ahead 7 to 0 in the sec ond period. The Wildcats tallied just before the half, but Kerry Richards blocked the extra point attempt, and Elon led 7-6.

There was the 7 to 0 win over Newberry, and Newberry trampled the 1959 team 56 to 21; and then the Christians held mighty Lenoir Rhyne to 14 to 0, compared with the lopsided 50 to 15 score of last year. Certainly the 1960 game proved some things to the Bears, one be ing that their long home run plays, either passes or runs, could not go against such a stubborn de fense as the Christians displayed. Also to the credit of the Christians is the fact that Lenoir Rhyne could only get off one sustained scoring drive. Of course, there are some who say that the Bears were handi capped by the absence of Lee Farmer, but Farmer could have done very httle better than did Tony McClamrock, who set a fine offensive pace for the Bears • • * So much for football! We now smallest boy on ttum to another sport and find the Christia* roster, but he could prove to be one of the strongest threats in this 1960-61 squad. The Indiana boy is an outstanding ball handler and a fine shot, and he has turned in fine performances in early work this fall. BILL MORNINGSTAR _ Morn- ingstar, a 6-foot freshman guard from South Boston, a., pairs with Roland Miller to give the Christ ians a pair of truly promising back court youngsters. The Vir ginia boy played his high school baU under Coach Hank Hamrick, who was one of Mon’s finest play- eQrs of the early 'Fifties, and he ntay top his former coach’s rec ord.

(9) Only Undefeated Season The autumn of 1957 brought Elon her only undefeated season, but unfortunate cancellation of two games by Catawba and Western Carolina due to influenza epidem ics on the rival campuses cut the Christian season to «ix games and 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’ champions. 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.

Bobby Joiner hit Jimmy May with a 29-yard scor ing heave, and Riddinger kicked good for the 26 to 6 counters, and Art Williams pitched to Bill Jack son from the Elon eight for the final touchdown that ran the score to 32 to 6.
