commodity we have owned only in
short supply since quarterback Ed
Wheless went and was graduated.
You «ee, if we put Jo Ann
Warner on our football team, we
will surprise everybody else on
our scb^ule.
We can devise a play, maybe,
wherein we will have her domg
the can can. Boy, will this ever

poialties against us.
There are some details I’ll let
Mattocks work out. He may even
oonsider Jo Ann on the Comman-
cheros defensive team because,
to me. she does not look like the
offensive type.
I doubt we could derive much
yardage from her as a l#nefiotne
end because with 21 young men
on the field, she’d not b* lone
some for long.
On the plus side, though, we
could avoid one problem. Some o(
our lads have trouble sUying In
good shape. Jo Ann is always in
fine form.
Maybe her services on the

The Catawba defense grabbed i
o;f five Elon forward passes on
iHier'eptionF during the afternoon
tilt and one of them was con
verted into a 40-yard touchdown
rt'lurn by Craig Ingram, who per-1
onally accounted for three theft.;
of Christian parses. Eddie Gomez
stole the other two Elon passes
to blunt Elon threats.

The Indians moved to the front
in the first quarter, moving from
midfield after receiving a short
Elon kick there, with the touch-
lown coming on a 20-yard pas-
■om John Scott to David Camp
Tell. The Indian kick failed, and
■•j'.swba led by only 6 to 0.
The Elon gridders tied the count
1 the second quarter after Moose
■*'illiams«n grabbed off a Cataw
ba fumble at the Indian thirty-
seven, with the Christians hitting
pay dirt from there in just five
plays, including two successful
■passes from Burgin Beale to A.
W. McGee and toss from From
Jeale to Gary Jordan that car
ried to the three. Alex Burnette
bulled over from there, but the
kick was had and left the scort
knotted at 6-all at half-time
The third quarter proved the
fatal period for Elon's hopes a'
the Catawba gridders put 15
points on the scoreboard. The
first of two Indian TD’s in lha
quarter came on an 88-yard sus
tained drive, the longest gaim.*
being a 30-yard pass from Scott
to Tim Morgan. Morgan ham
mered over from the three for
the score, and Ike Hill plunged ir
for a two-pointer to move the
'-•ount to 14-6. In the closing min
utes of the period Craig Ingram
grabbed an errant Elon pass and
raced 40 yards for the final score,
with Bob Petters kicking good for
the 21-6 count.
The Elon outfit staged one of
its longest drives of the season
in the waning minutes of the
game after atking ever on the
Christian thirty-two following a
Catawba punt. With Beale having
three completed passes to Jarvis
Stewart and Pruette, the Christ
ians moved for four first downs,
the last of them at the Indian
six. where a stubborn Indian de
fense stymied the drive as the
game ended.
The Elon gridder* stifl feund
their fround attack sputtering, but
Burgin Beale completed 16 of 33
passes for 163 yards to go with
49 yards of rushing, nettirig Elon
14 first down* to top the 12 first-

died in a Burlington hospital late
last Friday following a lengthy
illness.
Mrs. I>rumm was a native of
Wilkesbarre, Pa., but she had
made her home here for the past
year since her husband joined the
Elon faculty last taU. She was a
member of the Elon College Com
munity Church and was a retired
school teacher. She is survived, in
addition to her husband, by one
son, Lewis R. Drum, Jr., of New
York (Dity.
Funeral services were held
from the Elon College Community
CJiurch at 9 o’clock Sunday morn
ing, with Dr. William J. Andes
and the Rev. John S. Graves of
ficiating. The body was then flown
to Wilkesbarre, Pa., where the
committal services were held and

Tuesday morning. Memorial serv
ices were held in Whitley Audit
