only 1:10 remaining in the game when Elon quarterback Mike Currin connected to Keith Richardson on a
25-yard pass play to set up Elon’s touchdown and tie the score at seven all. Those same fans only minutes
later felt "the agony of defeat” when UCA’s Odom booted a 39-yard field goal.

Elon —25-y4 pass Currin to Richardson (Rippy kick)
UCA—39-yd field goal by Odom
ran six yards after an
interception to set up the score.
Garry Odom booted the PAT to
send UCA out in front and 7-0
which was also the halftime

Each team held off the other’s
attack in the third period, thus
leaving the pressure on the
Elon Fighting Christians in the

and ten seconds remaining,
quarterback Mike Currin
connected with Keith
Richardson to set up a 25-yard

Elon won the toss in the
SGA

fans waited and it was Good,
thus giving UCA a 10-7 win
over Elon. Odom made only one
of six field goals during the
afternoon, that being the
winning one.
So, it’s on to Texas for the
University of Central Arkansas

nationally televised game.
Arkansas enters the game with
a 9-2 record while Texas is 12-0,
Elon finishes their season II-l
with Elon finishing #3 in the
nation for 1976. What’s so bad
about finishing 11-1 and #3out

ahead. An example: Really
people, (jeorge the janitor is a
human being. How would you
like to see your name on
bathroom walls everyday? Give
the guy a break. It’s costing you
money for him to have to clean
the walls everyday. ECGS, buy
a canvas and paint a mural;
West parlor could use a bright
painting.
I believe next semester is
going to be*one of much change,
at least in the SGA. A
restructuring of the
government is underway, and
plans are being worked out for
sprirfg weekend Yes, there will
be a concert. A play will be
given in February with an
all-Elon cast and
director-producer. The rest of
our programs both current, and
forthcoming, I hope will benefit
all who care to use them. As
you’re on your way home for
Christmas, think about what
you have done to help the
conditions here at the college,
and plan to do more in the
spring.
We exist only to serve.
Happy Holiday,
