Jilaroon anli (Holb VOLUME III ELON COLLEGE, N. C., OCTOBER 7, 1921 NUMBER 4 MAROON AND GOLD SQUAD OPENS GRIDIRON SEASON AT HOME BY GIVING LENOIR TEAM GOOD WALLOPING Elon Machine Marches Down the Field When Line Buciing and End Runs Prove Too Much For Visitors—Entire Team Shows Up Weil— Score 39-0 In the first regular game of the 1921 season schedule of gridiron battles Elon College, without difficulty, battered down Lenoir College’s defense and piled U13 a score of 39 to 0 against the visitors. Old fashion football of con- siste-nt line buckiug and wide end runs proved too much for the opposing eleven and tlie Maroon aud Gold machine marched down the field almost at will. At the shrill of the whistle calling to battle, the gridiron warriors took the field in receiving formatiou. The toe of Smith sent the pigskiu well into the i scoring, mended upon the speed and accuracy with which they launched their atta?ks. Perry, with three touchdowns to his credit, and his ground gaining plunges through the line, was the outstanding Individual of the game. Cameron and White were responsible for many of the gains tlirough the line, ripping open holes for the backfield Hien to plough through. Fix and Underwood circled the ends for long runs, and counted heavily in PRACTICAL ARTS DEPARTMENT ADDED TO CURRICULUM visitors’ territory on the kick-off, and was downed before they could run it oack any distance. For three downs the Lenoir backs hit the Elon line off tackles but found it impenetrable and did not register a gaiii. Their punt was caught by Perry on the forty yard line and run back to the twenty yard liue. At this juncture of the content Elon fumbled the ball, their only fumble in the entire game, and Lenior covered. Again the aggregation from the hills tried to find a break in the Maroon and Gold line, or get away around the flanks, but without avail. The aerial plan of football was resorted to, but their attempted forward pass fell to the ground incomplete. On receiving the ]>unt the second time in the first quar ter Elon let loose with an offensive at tack that could not be stopped. Each line back resulting in a goodly gain, and each end run netting from twenty to forty yards. On the 23 yard line, Perry, who had already done stellar work in ripping through the Lenoir line in the march down the field, circled left end for the first touchdown, which came in the last minute of play in the first quarter. Johnson kicked goal. During the remainder of the scrna- jnage Lenoir was continually on the cie- lensive, vainly trying to stop the ter- riiic plunging they registered lirst down | f^ocie The ability of Johnson and Allston to break up the visitor’s interference and stop their attemj)ts to come around ^the ends counted much in Lenoir’s undoing. Benfield was the outstanding man of the Lenoir team and deserves special mention in his ability to tackle the run ner, as do others of the Lenoir team deserve credit for their low tackling. Substitutions were frequent and by the end of the first half second and third string men were in the line-up. Some thirty men were used in the game, and every candidate of promise had a chance to line up against Lenoir. It was Lenoir’s first game of the season, as well as their first game of (Continued on page four) fORTV NEW MEMBERS ARE TAKEN IN RANK BY PSIS Ben Everett ’20 At Head Of Popular Department Several Branches Taught A new department, arraTigect by Pro- fessor B. W, Everett and known as the Practical Arts Department has bee-n in stituted at the college. This is one of the special departments of the college and it offers some very valuable cours es. The nucleus of this line of work was in operation and headed by Pro fessor Everett last year, but it worked on such a small scale that it hardly ranked the title of a department. But this year through the efforts of Pro fessor Everett it has been thoroughly rearranged and enlarged until it is now a department offering various course* which are not to be excelled in real practical value by any other branch of college work. The Department of Practical Arts of fers courses in mechanical drawing, en gineering drawing, architectural draft ing. and penmanship. The names of all these courses indicate their scope except penmanship, which includes pencil ! sketching, pen sketching and Old Eng- I lish lettering, in addition to the regu lar handwriting. The Palmer Method of writing is used since Professor Evei*- ett believes it to be the most rapid and practical for business purposes. Twenty-nine students have enrolled so far in the Practical Arts department. The courses are valuable to almost every class of students and are expected to become very popular. “Ben”, as Professor Everett Is known on the campus, is a wide-awake man and exceptionally well prepared to head this line of -work. He graduated from Eion in the class of ’20 and has ELON BOASTS OF A SCORE MINISTERIAL MEN-MOST POPULAR IN SOCIAL AND ATHLETIC LIFE Activities and Relationship of Ministerial Students Discussed. Spirit Existing Between These Students and^'Ordinary Students” Much Improved (By R. S. Rainey, Correspondent) i Elon is doing its share this year to | diminish the preacher shortage through out tlie country, having already enrolled around a quarter hundred of young fel lows who intend to spend their lives crusading against the devil. Not only is there a goodly number of them but those who know say that they are* ex cellent material out of which to build jky-pilots. The relationship existing be tween the average student and these recruits who expect to be good soldiers of the Cross is said to be better this year tlian ever before. The following pertinent statement was recently made by one of the old students who was here during the ante (greiit) bellum days: “I believe that the spirit existing be tween the divinity students and the or dinary students is better today at Elon than ever before. I know by personal experience that back in the days of 1912-14 the conditions w^ere far short of Among the preacher athletes may b© mentioned Clem, football; Harold, foot* •^all and gym team; M. J. W. White, gym team; Hainer, football, track and tennis, and Fogleman, baseball. Coach Corboy says that he likes to have divinity stu dents on his teams. “Say what you will, these preachers are no pikers—they are game to the last inch of them'’, was the bouquet thrown by this man who does not believe in undeserved compliments. In addition to the athletes, many others of the preachers have come into prominence. S. M. Lynam has won col lege fame with the poetry he has writ ten. His poetry deals with the theme, “love’’, and those who know him best say there is a reason. Having his poem “Under ’Neath Maroon and Gold” ad opted as the official college song is an honor that can come to but one student or person in the history of a college. This extremely high honor was accord- I ed Mr. Lynam last Friday when the what they might have been.
