For weeks, we had been scroung'
ing around.
1 found an old bucket behind a
small, outdoor structure that had
what appeared to be a half moon
carved in its door. Frank Rogers,
the blind boy from Magnolia—he
was a devout ba.sketball fan—made

With ihc,e ojjects, the bucket,
tlie lit! tray and the cowbell, we
repaired to High Point College on
February 3, 1945. The bucket (I

red with the goodly Elon name.
So was th^ tray. The cowbell waa
loud enough as it was.
The Fighting Christians and the
old High Point Panthers did battle
in the preliminary game leading
to the Duke-Wake Forest main at
traction Among those on our side
were Mule Chandler at center,
fre.^hman Bill McIntyre one of our
more adventurous souls, and an
other guard whose given name
was Wallace Owen, only he was
wont to be called Butthead, the
cause of which escapes me.
Well, we started off nicely. We
s: ored a ♦-) lead. I beat upon the
bottom of the buAet in the man

Using a balanced attack that fea
tured five men in double-figure
scoring, t h e Elon Christians
avenged an earlier loss when they
turned back the Atlantic Christian
Bulldogs 85 to 74 in a Carolinas
Conference battle in Wilson on
Tliursday night, January 13th.
The Christian quint outshot the
homestanding Bulldogs from both
the floor and free throw line in
chalking the victory, for the Elon
cagers hit on 30 field buckets to
top the 26 field shots for Atlantic
Christian and were true on 25
of 28 chances at the foul line, while
the Bulldogs made good on only
22 to 34 charity stripe shots.
The Atlantic Christian cagers
moved out front in the early por
tion of the game and were lead
ing Elon by seven points midway
the first half, but the Christian
shooters kept banging away and
whittled the home team lead away,
and Elon was on top by 42 to 39
at the half-time break.
Henry Goedeck and Bobby At
kins combined for 47 points for
.'^lon and set the pace as the
Christians gradually widened the
lead in the final half. Goedeck
racked 25 points, and Atkins over
came the handicap of a bad ankle
to bang in 22 counters during the
game. Each of the Elon leaders
had eight field baskets.
In addition to Goedeck and At
kins, other Elon players who were
in double figures for the night were

Campus Reception Honors
Author F"or Her First Novel
The students and faculty of Elon
College were hosts at a reception
in the West Dormitory Parlor from
3 until 4 o’clock Monday after
noon in honor of Mrs. Dorothy Rob
inson Barnwell, of Burlington, who
is the author of the recently pub-|
lished “Head Into The Wind,” ai
new nover which has been widely
acclaimed.
The campus reception for Mrs.
Barnwell recognized the fact that
Music Professor

Prof. Walter Westafer, member
of the Elon College music faculty,
gave a lecture demonstration on
the music of John Cage, eminent
contemporary American composer,
at the University of North Caro
lina at Chapel Hill on Friday night,
January 7th.
The lecture by Professor West
afer was a feature of the meeting
of the Southeastern Chapter of the
American Musicological Society, in
session at Chapel Hill. The demon
stration featured the Elon pro
fessor at the piano, along with
his lecture.

to have a deep understanding of
the fallen actor, as well as an
astute interpretation of the part.

Dr. Larsen concluded that Amer

up to date and must stop existing
on the threat of nuclear war. He
put forth the idea that America’s
present generation of students and
intellectuals are informed and dis
turbed about the inconsistency of
America’s ideals and her appli
cations and that this generation
must prepare to accept necessary
changes needed to achieve the
elusive world peace.
The talk by Dr. Larsen was re

was delivered, and both Dr. Lar

with the sincerity and quality of
the Elon student hearers. In his
own words, he said, “Elon has an

The author herself, speaking of
her first novel, says that the
theme concerns the adjustment of
a young boy to his father’s death
and his mother’s evolving interest
in a wodower neighbor. Although
she designed the novel primarily
for young adults, the author feels
that older adults will enjoy it as
much as the younger readers.
Professor wellman, himself the
dUthor of many successful novels,
iescribes the principal character
of Mrs. Barnwell’s book as “a
young Hamlet of the cotton patch,”
although the setting itself is a f^

It was in 1960 that Mrs. Barn

Together with the well-designed
and functional costumes and set

cast of Director-Choreographer
