Lash Prizes
Are Offered
III (Contests
Announcement has just lx.*en mad
if two nationwide contests, which
when things awry, as they most > may be of interest to either poets or
certainly did when we lose 7-0 to our
friends from Guilford. Yet, if one
nails an effigy of Gary Mattocks to
Senior Oak, one a nuts.
Judging a man's decisions in a
single game is folly, for one rule
still applies! You can't win 'em all.
Guilford hadn't done it to us since
1959 'albeit by a convincing 27 to
0 in that year'. The Quakers always
manage a magnum effort against
us. With a 28-3 lacing of Hampden-
Sydney the previois week. Guilford
waf about due. As we didn't score
at all, we could hardly expect to
win.
I think, then, the earnest young
Mattocks with the little boy faca
artists among the Elon College
students, and both contests offer at
tractive prizes of cash and special
awards
The poets and would-be poets may
be interested in the second annual
Kansas City Poetry Contest, which
iffers a total of $1,600 in cash
irizes and the opportunity to have
.he winning poems published.
The closing date for all poetry
ntrics is next February 15th, and
umplete rules and regulations for
)e entries may be obtained by writ-
ig to Kansas City Poetry Contests,
O Box 5335, Kansas City, Mo.,
4H1
Even better cash awards are of-
and the far-reaching mind will be by the St. Regis Paper Com-
in for better Saturdays. The EUwt ^ny, 100 South Wacker Drive, Chi-
Carolina product, from my own' ^go, Illinois, 60606. which has Just
scouting reports, is thoroughly dedi
cated to football. 1 am informed—
reliably that Mattocks is one liv
ing up to promises, one who draws
and maintains respect of those play
ing for him. From an alumni view
point. I'm .sold on Mattocks.
Perhaps this was finalized at Ihe
Newport News alumini'^meeting earl
ier in the year. He made his first
8(H"ech as head coach lliere. The
man actually got livid defending
football.
"I get angry when I see stories in
m^.;azines saying it is a useless and
ciufl sport," he saij, actually g*-!-
ting red in the face and warm under
the collar The man is. I could
readily see, stncere.
Ihen. as most Elon gathcring.s
will, we all st0(Kl up and soberly
sang the school song. Who was
chirping away louder than anybody?
Gary .Mattocks, that's who.
What really got close to me was
Miittocks' closing lines: "Football
I:, like nothing else you can hope
to learn in school. The boys get
k, ' Hed down, and it is my task
to .'■ee that they get back up and
(ki better."
Should Mattocks practice what he
preaches, look out Guilford in '66.

Tile Presbyterians, however, took
command in the second quarter
when they moved for two scores
under the guidance of Paul Fergu
son, who had taken over quarter-
.jack duties by that time. Sonny
lYuette had raced a PC punt back
to the Blue Stocking 35, and it
looked like Elon might be on th
way again, but the Clhristian at
tack bogged down, and the ball went
over on the Stocking forty-two.
The first TD drive begane there,
with Ferguson guiding the Blue
Hose to the tying score in twelve
plays, top play being a 28-yard run
by PCs Wade Stewart. Ferguson
passed four yards to Richard Reed
lor the score, and Reed kicked the
point that tied the score at 7-all with
less than four minutes left in the
half.
The second Presbyterian counter
came with barely eleven seconds on
he clock in the half, with Fergusoi
lofting a 41-yard scoring pass to
fullback Dan E^ckstein for the
touchdown. This 41-yard bomb cli-
mared an 80-yard drive by the Hose
that required only one minute of
action and four plays. Reed again
kicked the point which sent Pres
byterian to intermission with a 14
to 7 lead that was enough to win
the game.
The seven Elon College cheerleaders shown above have contributed much to the Fighting Christian foot
ball team in its early games, and they will continue to play a major role in Elon sports through the rest

hidividual Figure*
Just as was the case last year, the
Chiistian quarterback was leading
the individual total offense in the
first three games. T>Tone McDuffie,
wfao rated fourth in the Carolinas
Conference in both passing and total
offense after three games, had
passed for 181 yards and had rush
ed for 109 yards for a total of 290
yards and an average of 96.7 yards
per game Last year it was Ed
Wbel^ leading Eton's total of
fense with 312 yards passing and 21
yards rushing in three games for
a total of 333 yards and aa aver-
•ge of 111 yards per contest.
Also just as was the case last,
jrear, Frad Stewart was leading the
individual rushing for EUon. but the
big Charlotte boy, had lugged the
h»U for a net total of 230 yards in
tliree games last season for an aver
age ot 7C.7 yards per game. This
fan, reflecting the inaffective at-
^ck lor the Ckristians, Stewart bad
'ctted only 147 yards in his first
hree games for an average of 49
yards per tilt.
Indicative of the less potent pass
ing attack of the Hon gridders this
fall is the comparative figures on
ass receiving. Towering '^x Har
rison. now ith the Los Angeles
tams. had grabbed down 12 forward
passes in the first three games a
vear ago for a total of 154 yards
This year the pass-catching leader
is A. W. McGee, Harrison's re-
ilaoemeat. who has caught five
tosses in the opeaing three games
Fleet David Gentry, who lad the
Christians in return of punts and
kick-offs last fall, is again setting
the pace, but he did not get the
vardage in Elon's three first tilts
this fall that he showed last year
'..ast season after three games.
Gentry had lugged back 11 com-
)ined punLs and kick-offs for 19B
ards. This year the little halfWk
Td carried back 7 kicks for 75
yardt.

New Studant Center
The new student center, which will
be located Just south of the Ala
mance Building and near the center
of Elon's walled campus, will be
iinanced through a loan of $274,000
from the Housing and Home Fi
nance Agency of the federal govern
ment.
The structure, which is to be in
traditional architectural design to
harmonize with other buildings on
Elon's campus, will be two stories
in height and will provide space for
the college book store, the student
.lealth services and the student post
office boxes.
It will also furnish rooms for the
Student Government Association and
the student publications such as the
newspaper, annual and literary
magazine, along with a snack shop,
campus lounge, television rooms,
music listening rooms, conference
rooms and recreation rooms.
The student center, which is
scheduled for completion in time for
use in September 1966, will make
possible the renovation for aca
demic purposes of the space now
being used in Mooney Bailding for
the book store, snack shop and
lounge as well as the space being
used for a meeting room in Ala
mance Building and for .Student

This fall saw the Mooresville

some great saves on other enemy
