NO. 8.
Maroon and Gold
Eleven Loses
To Wake Forest
In Hard Fought Game—Eton’s
Team Puts Up a Game Fight,
With Ail the Breaks of the
Game Against Them.
Elon’s gridiron warriors met
defeat at the hands of Wake For
est last Saturday by the score of
27 to 0. The Maroon and Gold
eleven put up a spirited fight
against their heavier opponents,
and only hard luck prevented
their scoring. Twice they work
ed the ball down to their five-yard
e, only to lose it through some
eak of the game.
Wake Forest i received Flon’s
1 ;ck-oft', and Smith downcv me
man in his tracks. Wake Forest
failed to m_ake first down and the
ball went over. A good end run by
Cannon, and line plunges by New
man, Perry and E. Johnson car
ried the ball to the 20-yard line.
There it was lost on dow'ns. On
the next play Rabenhorst broke
through and made a brilliant run
down the sideline for a touch
down. W. F. failed to kick goal.
Elon received the kick-off, and
fumbled under their goal. Perry’s
punt was blocked and the ball
rolled behind the goal, Johnson
falling on the spheroid. W. F.
claimed a touchback on this play,
but of course its claim was not
valid. The quarter ended with
the ball on Elon’s 20-yard line. Up
to this time Eloi^ had made all her
forward passes good and had ad
vanced the ball constantly on this
play.
The next goal was scored when
Rabenhorst intercepted Elon’s
forward pass on the five-yard line
and made a 40-yard run. A for
ward pass and end runs carried
the ball over for another touch-
dow'n. W. F. kicked goal.
Elon received the next kick-oi¥,
and advanced the ball down the
field, finally losing on downs.
Heckman then went to the back-
field for W. F., and after several

“Peppy Pep Meeting
Held in Chapel
An Extra Coach on Train 144 for
Trinity Game and a Special
Train for the Guilford Game
Assured.
Last Thursday night, prior to
the Wake Forest football game,
Elon staged one of the best pep
meetings of the year, the object
being to discuss the coming
games, to see whether the stu
dent body would attend those
with Trinity and Guilford.
The meeting was called to or
der by Professor Hook, who, after
a few remarks introduced last
year’s football captain, L. M.
Cannon. Mr. Cannc r. r.mpared
this year’s team with last year’s,
and at the end everybody agreed
that our prospects are decidedly
better than they were last year.
The next gentleman to appear be
fore the audience was this year’s
captain, Mr. S. J. Perry, who
gave some very good remarks.
Our coach, Mr. F. B. Corboy, then
gave us some very valuable infor
mation about the game and our
team.
We were then favored with a
few songs by the entire team,
which occupied the seats on the
stage.
It was then unanimously voted
that our center should address the
audience. After much persuasion
Mr. Odom consented, and closed
the meeting with a few timely
remarks.
One thing is certain: a good
number o'f students are going to
the Trinity game, and practically
the entire student body will go to
the Guilford game. An extra
coach will be attached to 144 for’
the Trinity game, and a special
train will be run to Greensboro
for the important game with
Guilford.
CLIO PROGRAM POSTPONED

” Music Faculty Gives
Delightful Recital
College Entertained by Elegant
Program.
The Faculty Recital.
Something really happened at
Elon Friday. What? Our annual
Faculty recital. Friday evening
the students of Elon had the
pleasure of hearing one of the
best recitals ever given at the col
lege, that of our Music Faculty.
Quite a number of students and
visitors were present. The pro
gram was opened by Professor
Betts, who played Beethoven-
Seiss’ “German Dances.” He
played as he teaches. We cannot
say too much for him. Miss Fish
er showed her wonderful singing
ability in all her numbers. She
has a sweet, clear, rich voice. She
acts her songs as the actor acts
his part.
Miss Smith showed her unusu
ally light touch in “Rondo Capric-
cioso.” She played with admir
able ease, and in her last number
showed her power in the strength
and fullness of her tones.
Mr. Alexander delighted his au
dience as usual. He has a fine
baritone voice and used it well in
all his numbers.
Mrs. Sturm and her violin are
one, each having the soul of the
other. She showed wonderful
skill in her first number, “Ro-
manze,” but in the beautiful Czar-
dos she carried us on and on into
the world of delight. Her music
was greatly enjoyed.
The program was as follows:
Beethoven - Seiss — German
Dances : Allegro moderato. Alle
gretto grazioso. Allegro risoluto
—Mr. Betts.
Tschaikowsky — “Farewell” —
Recitative and Aria (from Jeanne
d’Arc). Dell’ Acqua — Chanson
Provencale—Miss Fisher.
Mendelssohn — Rondo Capric-
cioso, op. 14—Miss Smith.
Lully—Bois Epais, Air from
“Amadis” (Sombre woods). Al-
litsen—Oh! For a Burst of Song.
