FACE FOCm MAROON AND GOLD Thursday, December 14. 1961 RElDl^S/, ALl^AMEKICN Ad During the war when I was at Klon. the ladi over at !om kind of air force baic at Greensboro were making lerious inroads on the talent at West Dorm. This repr* lented a serious soc ial challengf to me and the other broken down clowns who were al EInn at the time. So you know what we did.' We held a demonstration.

I doubt oui- illl> dcmonstratlonr of nearly two dec ades ago were original, but It was a devil of a lot of fun. Our demonstration consisted of filching a road lign with an arrow pointing to the Greensboro fly- boys’ base. This we nailed on Sen ior Oak, with the arrows pointing toward West Dorm, of course.

The speedy Elon backfleld star had already been accord honor able mention on the Associated Press Little All-American, but he became Elon's fourth All-American ff>otball player in the past twelve seasons when he gained the spot on the NAIA's second defensive unit. The NAIA All-American was chosen by coaches from the 323 schools which compose the national organlzalton, with the anoouuce- mont of the selection being made public from Sacrameto, Calif. where the NNAIA’s national gnd championship was played last Sat- |Urday between Pittsburgh State of I Kansas and Ilnfield College of 1 Oregon.

Basketeers Facing Two Tournaments The Fighting Christian cage squad, which completed Its home court play for the pre-Cl.rlstmas ;jeriod by meeting Guilford here on Monday night, faces a busy schedule on the road during the closing ^weeks of December, with their assignments including two Yule season tournaments and a two-game invasion of Kentucky. The Maroon and Gold hoopslers begin their road work tonight when they open play in a three- day toumament to be played at Fort Lee. Va. The Fort Lee tourn ey will continue through Saturday of this week as eight teams battle for honors. Coach Bill Miller and his boys A-ill then swing westward into Ken tucky, where the Christians will battle the strong Cumberland Col lege quintet at Williamsburg on Tuesday and Wednesday nights of next week. These games will give Elon’s Kentucky boys a chance to play in their home state for the only time this season. After returning to the campus soon after Christmas day, the Elon cagers will then move into the North Carolina coastal area to compete for the second successive year in the annual Camp Lejeune Holiday Tournament. The Christ tans won consolation honors in the eight-team tourney last winter, and Coach Bill Miller and his boys hope to better that mark this year. ■Hie Christians do not play on the home floor again unyi January 8th, for Coach Miller’s boys wUl face two road games against Atlantic Christian and East Carolina In early January before returning home to meet Appalachian, Pem- Ellon Pair Given Pi •aise On Joi)S Coming as a distinct compli ment to the secretarial training courses al Elon College is the news from Washington of com mendations for excellent work done In goveyiment service by Mary Glenn Briggs and Char- lesanna Briggs, twin sisters from ReidsvUle, who were stodents here at Elon for two years prior to last June. Mary Glenn Briggs has been working since July in the Office of Manpower and Employment Statistics, while her hlster has been assigned to prepare brief ing books for the secretary and undcr-secretary of labor. Recent communications received here from the federal agenies praise the two for outstanding work. ' Intramural sports swung back 'into high since Thanksgiving, with the opening of the basketball sea son, wrestling and continuation of tlie campus horseshoe tourney. At Uie same time the campus golf tournament came to a close, and u..ch Johimy Wike announced plans for individual tourneys in badminton and ping pong.

The ITK's should again JO a strong challenger, with Eddie Clark, Jim Leviner and Jerry Os- borne leading the way. Sigma Phi hopes rest on Wayiie Mahanes, George Wooten, John DalCin and Dave McIntosh, back from last year’s winner. Kappa Psi Nu will be probably the most improved squad, since it has been strengthened by tlie ad dition of Jack Moore, Jim Hamill and John Graffio during the off season, adding them to the veteran crew of John Munich, Allen Foster, Tom Oliver and Jim Holmes.
