^4^,ipr 4IMD r.lLLIAM LEAD ELOIS FOOTBALL SQUAD
Lloyd Kanipe and Wes Gilliam will lead the Elon College football squad as
co-captains of the 1968 Christian grid outfit. Kanipe, who hails from Char
lotte, and Gilliam, who comes from neighboring Western Alamance High, are
both hard-nosed linemen for the Christians. Kanipe served as co-captain along
with Lee Johnson last fall, and it is his second successive year of leadership.
Gilliam, who has gone both ways on offense and defense, should be an equally
capable leader, for he is a "Gung-Ho” ball player who gives 100 per cent effort
all the way.

MR. COMEBACK
“Football,” said Gary
Mattocks in the very first
speech he made some sea
sons ago after assuming
head coaching duties, “is
a game like no other.
It teaches you how to get
up after you’re knocked
down.”
At the time—he was
speaking to the Peninsula
Virginia chapter of the
alumni association — I
had no idea he’d be talk
ing about himself.
Poor old Gary had a
time with coaching.
He won three games in
two years and came to
know better than anybody
else on campus what the
game of football is like
when you do get knocked
down. Gary was the first
to admit that the Fighting
Christians showed pre
cious little fight. Yet,
when Gary was relieved
of his head coaching
duties, he did what he had
advised in that little talk
of his: hang in there
and give it that all-im
portant fight. I’m not just
certain what Gary was
doing after his change of
duty. I used to see him
correcting test papers of
some kind. Any other man
would have moved on.
Not Gary.
He is a little some
thing special around our
little old school.
If they gave awards for
good guy-ness, I expect
Gary Mattocks wouldhave
been unanimous first
string in the all of eight
years he’s been on cam
pus.
Why the ex-East Caro
lina back willingly gets
involved in coaching a-
gain prods the curiosity.
1 like to think Gary
Mattocks meant what he
said at that alumni meet
ing — that football is a
challenge.
Can you get back on
your feet after being
slammed on your can?
True, Gary may also
be making an extra buck
by coaching again, but
in this case, money not
only isn’t everything —
it isn’t even anything.

Florida Southern College.
Many outstanding col

parts of the United States
spoke on the problems
which confront education
al business officials, with
delegates also hearing a
number of panel discus
sions.
Prof. ^4oore, long ac

but we only attempt to
write the truth as we see
it. We can not claim to
be objective. Our column
has not attempted to be a
fact sheet. We have tried
to present the student
point of view.
There arc many more
songs of Elon that could
be sung, songs of praise
and songs of criticism.
But for us, it is time to
close and make room for
a new singer and a new
song. To my patient au
dience we extend our
thanks for hearing us.
Many problems we have
lain in the laps of Dr. Dan-
ieley and the administra
tion when this may not
have been the complete
picture. To them go our
thanks for allowing us to
express our version of tne
song of Elon. To Mr.
Byrd, our advisor, goes
our sincerest thanks for
allowing us to stick our
neck out at times and
helping us in our jour
nalistic endeavors.
There will be one more
issue this year for tne
“Song of Elon,”
sue in which we may hav
a chance to speak our
valedictory and perhaps
offer a song of gradua
tion and commencement
time.
