CATAWBA INVADES ELON STADIUM Elon Upsets Carson-Newman edwin s. yoder Lawton and Thomas Star FORUM GUEST It seems that every game Elon has played this year has been a “big game”. Well, the Catawba- Elon match this Saturday at 2 P.M. is no exception. The Homecoming contest featuring two Conference foes, each posting victories last week. Catawba beat Gardner- Webb, 30-7 and we all know what Elon did to Carson-Newman. The Carson-Newman upset could very very well have been the turning point of the season for Eton’s Fighting Christians. The pieces that would not fit earlier seem to have fallen into their places and it wouldn’t surprise me if Elon came up with a very convincing victory. SOCCER TEAM On Friday October, 13, the Elon College soccer team made its successful debut with a 2-1 victory over Greensboro College. The vic tory marked a month long battle by coach Harris to field a competitive team. Defense was the key factor to the Elon victory. The Greensboro offensive attack was constantly thwarted by the aggressive play of the Christian backs. Most notable was halfback Steve Rutledge, who constantly cleared the ball out of the Elon end. The inability of the Greensboro backfield to do just that in their own end was a key factor in Elon’s control of the ball offensively. Goalie John Finch was also im portant in keeping the defense together. Finch talked to his backs throughout the game, directing them how to set up and switch off. His talking undoubtly kept the backs at ease and kept him on top of the action. Even though he was not tested severely by the Greens boro offense, his years of soccer experience were clearly evident. The Elon offense, often confused by their inexperience, was sparked by Senior Ray McClure. McClure, also an experienced soccer player, set up the offensive attack with his speed and footwork, and constantly made the Greensboro defense look poor. Tempers flared in the final minutes of play when the game was apparently out of reach for the Greensboro team. Both benches emptied and a few punches were thrown, but that was the extent of the hostilities. The remainder of the Elon sched ule is as follows: October 20, at Guilford; October 28, at High Point; and November 18, at Hargrave Academy. However, coach Harris has indicated that he would like to schedule a few more home games, possibly against Guilford and High Point. Tom Schafer CC Standings Conf.

Lawton, who carried the ball 12 of those 18 plays, picked up a game total of 156 yards against the nationally second ranked Carson-Newman Eagles in the 16-9 win. Carson-Newman, which came to Elon with an undefeated record took an early lead with a 22 yard field goal by David Ward. But the offense came back as it sprung loose its wrath, Mike Lawton. Mike, who is not known for being a patient person on a football field, broke away for the game’s first TD as he rambled 65 yards. Elon’s point after failed. CN put points on the board again with 10:14 remaining in the first half when quarter-back Jim Sulli van connected with Tim George. The play, which covered 23 yards, put CN back in the lead, 9-6. The point after failed. Elon’s Maroon and Gold set out in the second half looking more confident and organized. Dave Davis’ field goal tied the score at 9-9 in the third quarter. QUOTABLE QUOTES Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result. Winston Churchill Politics are almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war, you can only be killed once, but in politics many times. Winston Churchill “Freedom is the greatest gift God gave us . . . freedom to choose.” Rev. Hurst Oct. 3, 1972 “I think Shakespeare has talent.” an Elon intellectual EDITOR’S NOTES The Broadside Today would like to extend their thanks to Dr. Mary Ellen Priestley, who took the time to make constructive suggestions concerning the paper’s organiza tion. Her criticism was very helpful and was sincerely appreciated by the totally inexperienced editor and staff. Broadside Today Staff PRE-ELECTION POLL With the impending General Election only three weeks away, a coalition of students for Nixon and McGovern will hold a mock elec tion on Oct. 25, in the Student Union. The outcome will determine the political preference of the Elon student body on a national and local level. Polling will be con ducted from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. CN, who has come up with victories in its last seven meetings with Elon, had a rough night in the “breaks” department. Elon’s alert defense came up with six fumbles giving the offense posses sion and the opportunity to con sume some of the clock. Joe West, who had an average night in his passing game, manuvered the offense well by keeping an even pace and consuming time. One of the most familiar sights in CN’s backfield was Elon’s mid dle guard, junior Buddy Thomas. Buddy, who dumped Sullivan six times, spent the evening pres suring the quarterback and caus ing him to throw inaccurate passes and putting the Eagles in difficult long yardage situations. The Elon defense had its best game of the season. The line’s aggressiveness, lead by Bob May, Nick Angelone and Glen Ellis, accounted for CN having its worst game of the season on the ground. The defensive backfield had a good game, allowing only 6 completions in 19 attempts. The defense put it all together with a team effort. The gang tackles and the alert re coveries were the keys to the win. Best of luck Saturday afternoon. Denton A Change In Policy Those students who wish to con tribute articles or submit letters to the editor for publication must first sign their true names. Then, if your article or letter is cleared to be published, (remember, we are looking for responsible comments), we will be more than glad to attach any pseudonym that you desire; thereby respecting your request to remain anonymous. We are asking this so that we may be able to contact you in case any problem arises concerning the interpretation or editing of the letter. The true identity of the con tributor will, of course, remain strictly confidential. Your compliance with this re quest will be greatly appreciated. However, this rule will not apply to the faculty and staff of Elon College. To Whom It May Concern: Thank you for ripping off the posters of Nixon and McGovern which were located in the lobby of Long Student Center. They were noticed missing Sunday, the day after they were put up for display. Thanks—if you want a poster of these two men, please acquire it in an honest manner. Steve Leocha Chairman Student Forum Committee HAVE SOMETHING TO SELL? NEED A RIDE HOME? ALL ADS MAY BE SENT TO CHRIS AUER, BOX 3083 The paper reserves the right to edit all articles submitted. It is the pleasure of the Liberal Arts Forum to announce the sche duling of its October Lecture. For this occasion the award winning journalist and present associate editor of the Greensboro Daily News will be on hand to deliver an hour lecture with immediate in terest to all. It is entitled “Is Politics Dead,” and promises to be a provocative commentary on the approaching presidential elections. Mr. Yoder will speak at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, October 23 on the 2nd floor of McEwen Dining Hall. After the lecture a reception will be held in Mr. Yoder’s honor to which all students are invited to attend. Steve Leocha RUSHER (Continued from Page 1) ences with the Subcommittee. Before going to Washington, Mr. Rusher—a graduate of Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs and the Harvard Law School, and since 1949 a member of the New York Bar — practiced law for seven years with Shearman & Sterling & Wright, Wall Street’s largest law firm. Mr. Rusher’s political activities have been well documented in the national press. He was one of the handful of GOP pros, who, back in 1961, launched the draft of Barry Goldwater for the Republican Pres idential nomination. He is the Vice Chairman of the American Conser vative Union. Pursuing his lively in terest in international affairs, he serves as Co-Chairman of the American-African Affairs Associa tion, an educational institution dedicated to promoting better American understanding of Africa’s special problems. As a speaker and debater, and on survey trips for the Association and other groups, Mr. Rusher has traveled on six continents to almost every country in the non-Commu- nist world. He brings to his lectures the depth of experience and the wealth of information with which these trips have supplied him. Dear Interested Juniors... Oh! I forgot. We don’t have any!! We didn’t realize that so many of the Junior Class were so apathetic ally illiterate. At the meeting of the Junior Class Tuesday night at 7:00 (which was publicized in the Com municator), the seven class mem bers in attendance were extremely disheartened because nobody showed up. Therefore, we feel It unnecessary to elect a Junior Class Sponsor because as it appears, if past attendance records are any indication, she probably wouldn’t show up for the Homecoming any way. As a result, THANK YOU JUNIORS!!! . . . FOR NOTHING!! Signed, Suzanne DeLoach, Pres. Mary Annie Harper, V-Pres. Nat Harrison, Sec-Treas. Rexanne Bishop Marcella Walsh Emily Graham Debbie Matze PAGE 3
