P. Lawrence, Dean of the college. The. play is now on the press of The Mitchell Printing Company, Raleigh and will at an early date, be ready for release. The play is expected to appeal strong ly to Elon students and their friends as it is woven around the student life of Elon and the part of its sons in the World War. It will probably be staged at the college* sometime during the pres ent sessicn; just who will constitute the cast has not been made public, but a grand presentation is anticipated. As Dr. Lawrence views the World Catastrophe, it was a moral crusade. He rebels against the sordid materialism that has been in recent months assigned as the basis of the United States having entered the war. “For Humanity’^ manifests the in dignation of its author’s heart against that insult to the nation and to the splendid young men of America, and especially of Elon, who gave their lives not for “interests” either national or personal, but “For Humanity.” me CHAUTADQUA (By Collegiate Press Association) Davidson, N.

This game to be played with Lenoir at Eloi on October 1. The first heavy casualty of the sea son occurred this week when Rudd suf fered a painful injury in the form of a wrenched knee. This, however, will probably place him on the side line for two or three days only. The simplest of plays and formations are being used' in practice, and every man on the squad is being drilled thoroughly in all the* details, as Coach Corboy has not yet decided on the per sonnel of the varsity. A practice game has been arranged for Saturday, 24. Coach Corboy hopes to get a good line on his men in this game and smooth out the rough places in readiness for Lenoir.
