techniques.
It is best that students take
lessons before going to more
advanced ski areas of the country
in order to be safe and get the
most for their money. Skiing skill
should be placed above the social
aspects of the sport, and this can
only be done through proper

Elon College soccer squad wins
contest to boost their record to 1-4
by Mike Christie
Elon won their first soccer
contest of the new' season 1-0
over N.C. Wesleyan boosting
their overall record to 1-4.
Throughout the game the tempo
was controlled by Elon who had
possession of the ball most of the
game. The score came in the
second half, booted in by Peter
Roughton. The game was played
with injuries because of the
physical playing of N.C.
Wesleyan.
In the Homecoming game, the
Christians lost late in the game
4-3. It was a very exciting match
throughout, being Elon's best
offensive play of the season.
Goals were scored by Norm
Dow ny and Peter Charles.

Last home game Saturday
Fighting Christians will
battle to reign in SACS
by Gary Spitler
The Fighting Christian
gridders blasted Bluefield State
41-0 and defeated Presbyterian
12-0 in the last two football
encounters. Holding first place in
the SAC-8, Elon will go into
action this Saturday afternoon at
2 in another conference contest.
Elon blasted Bluefield State
before a packed stadium in a
homecoming affair and then
traveled to Clinton, S.C. last
week and defeated the Blue
Hose. Both teams battled
throughout the first half in the
Presbyterian game to end the
first half without a score from
either team. Elon scored in the
third quarter as Prince Deese ran
from three yards out to put Elon
on the board. The PAT failed and
the battle got even stiffer. Later
in the fourth quarter Howard
Ferguson plunged in for the score
from the four-yard line. The PAT
again failed, and the defense kept
either team from scoring to end
Elon's second conference
encounter 12-0.
This week in Burlington's
Memorial Stadium the Indians of
Catawba will battle the Fighting
Christians of Elon in another
SAC-8 contest. Under the
leadership of Bill Faircloth, the
Indians will bring a strong
nucleus of a team from last year.
Some standouts for Catawba are
Kim Smith and Ron Adams in the
backfield along with return
guards Eddie Whitt and Vernon
Hayes, tight end Kent Rabon,
split end Vince Haydock and
halfback Allen Simmons. Their
strong defense will meet Elon's
strong defense in what should be
a big conference bout.
Elon vs. Catawba in the last
conference game this season, so
don't miss out and be sure to
arrive early to avoid heavy
traffic.
Sports Hall of Fame
inducts five members
The most embarrassing game
of the season was a 13-1 defeat
by Belmont-Abbey. With the
majority of their players foreign,
they dominated the game
completely. Elon's only score
was by Peter Roughton.
In other games the team lost
10-1. 8-0 to UNC-CH and
Pfeiffer Colleges respectively.
Both opponents were very potent
offensively and defensively.
In the Carolina game Joe
Curtis scored the lone goalie for
the Fighting Christians. In both
games freshman goalie Greg
Hamilton played exceptionally
well despite the high scores. He
had 37 saves against Carolina and
numerous others against Pfeiffer.
Defensive credit must also be
given to Bunny Carr in the
Carolina giime, even though the
team lost both matches.
At 4 p.m. tomorrow Elon will
play Atlantic Christian there and
will return home on October 27
to face UNC-G.
