Catawba planned to use the here to pass out honors, laurels or bouquets or what-have-you, and t:.ere are four Fighting Christians ■who have had a very fine season, although not one of the four has had on a uniform this fall. I am speaking of Ken Harper, A, W. McGee, Ralph Mizelle and T. W. Wall, none of whom has gained a yard or made a tackle, but their efforts behind the scenes as manage! s iiave been a neces sary part of a winning football team. The football coaches have call ed this year's manageriaal staff ■'the best we have had." report ing that this year, for a change, the managers were the first to arrive and the last to leave the gym. Although it does not show in those team statistics, fellows, your work was very much a part of the team effort, and this is just a word of appreciation. On The Catawba Game The loss to Catawba on that last Saturday in October was a major disappointment to all concerned with Elon College. Three thing: may be said about the game. First, the loss was not a fluke. Second ly. Elon did not put forth its best effort. Third, Elon was not very impressive on offense. Bill Hunter, an Elon alumnus, advanced some interesting state ments concerning the Catawba loss in his column in the Burlington Times-News. and the remarlcs bear repeating. The Hunter com ments follows: Concerning the game, Coach play the first time Catawba got the ball, but Barry Lutz took the opening kickoff back to the Elon six-yard line, and the Indians did not need the play until later. And The Catamount Tilt On Monday following the West- 2rn Carolina game, this reporter oi!rneyed down to the gym for hie • i-weekly chat with Coach Tuck er. This reporter was elated with he Western Carolina win, but not mpressed. I left ;-till elated, vary hankful for the win, and not qui*e 33 pessimistic. In forwarding Coach Tucker’s comments to you, I leave all the final opinion of the game in the reader's hands. Coach Tucker ad mitted that Elon did not show its '.)est against the Cats, but he said that the defense was good, citing Ilf fact that tho three Elon touch downs came as a result of a bad )ass from cei ter on an attempted Cu;iti i: , on Page Four) : I’vii ;jic ures above show just part of the rugged .iction as the Fighting Christians turned back Western • i.ii: . 10 10 in the annual Homecoming Day grid liattle, which was played in Burlington Memorial Stad- I. .

Th6 eight seniors, who include 'he three “Tri-Captains" of this 1963 eleven, have all held start ing berths at one time or another during their years at Elon, and all have rendered outstanding ser vice. Speaking this week of the eight graduating seniors, Coach George Tucker was high in his praise of each and every one. They include the following: WILLIE TART—A fleet half back from Dunn, Tart is one of the three tri-captains this fall.

In addi tion to the Camp Lejeune tourney, the season closes with the annual Carolinas Conference Tourna ment the last week in February. Facing such a rugged wiiiter campaign, the Christians will pre sent a veteran and powerful com bination.

In the backcourt there will be plenty of speed and deadeye shoot ing from veterans like Bill Mpr,;- ingstar, Roland Miller, Pave W'in- frey, Danny Hall and Ron Den hart, and Coach Miller expects much help from Bobby Atkins, a freshman guard with a great high school background. .1 pair of TD's within a three-min- uli‘ period of the fourth and final period to gain the win.

I’ete Jarvis blocked Paul Saund ers’ kick at the forty-four, and Dan Kelley recovered on the Western 24-yard marker. Doug Amick led the short goalward march, ripping the Cat line for several fine gains. Ed Wheless then bucked over from the one for the score that sent Elon ahead 12 to 10. A pass for extra points failed. Only three minutes later, Gord on Cox supplied the clincher score when he intercepted one of John Ruta's passes on the Western Car olina 25-yard marker and raced untouched into the end zone Bob by Ferrell then booted the ("xtra point for the final 19 to 10 victory.

P.E Majors (Jill) Forms Broad FJaiis The Physical Education Maj ors Club, under the leadership of Ken Harper as president, is at tempting a t)Old new approach to the club routine, for the 74- member group is attempting to formulate a truly professional or- ganaization on the undergraduate level. Realizing that physical education plays an increasingly important part in the educational system to day, the P. E. Majors group is seeking to create a professional attitude among Its members and to (ihow to its members exaactly what the profession is like. It is also seeking to provide its members with a background which better prepares them to take their places in the educational system. Important in this scheme at op erations are the regular monthly meetings, with interesting speak ers scheduled. Joe C. Davidson, diiector of recreation and parks in Burlington, was the speaker at t^^ club's regular November meet ing, speaking on job opportunities in recreation. The members of tha physical education staff work in close cooperation with the group.
