jHaroon anil #olb VOLUME IV. ELON COLLEGE, N. C, OCTOBER 27, 1922 NUMBER MAROON AND GOLD MACHINE DEFEATS HAMPDEN-SIDNEY IN A HARD FOUGHT STRUGGLE Elon Eleven Makes Two Touch downs and Drop Kicks Goal. THRONGS OF SPECTATORS Perry and Kirkland Score for Elonites—^Blankenship for Hampden-Sidney. In a game marked by bard fighting on the part of both teams, Elon came out victorious over the Hampden-Sirl ney eleven on Comer field last Saturday by a score of 13 to 6. In the very beginning of the gamo Perry, of Elon, gave the fans a thrill by intercepting a forward pass and dashing 65 yards through a broken field for the initial touchdown. After failing to make the extra point the Corboy men again kicked off, but Hampden-Sidney ran a good interfer ence and brought the ball back to tho home team’s 38-yard line. A fumble placed the ball in the hands of Elon through the splendid work of Kirkland, who carried it for a first down. But Hampden*,Sidney tightened and Elon was forced to kick. At this point in the game, G. A. Brown, Elon’s left tackle, in a sensational attempt to stay the racing Hampden-Sidney war rior, fractured his collar bone and was> forced to leave the game. A. Brown was substituted. Failing to make first down, Hampden-Sidney was forced to punt. The ball was blocked by Brax ton and covered by Clark. The Maroon and Gold squad gained 20 yards on a forward pass, followed by a series of sensational line plunges by Kirkland, which placed the ball on the five-yard line. With the largest attendance that has ever been seen on the Comer field crying for a touchdown, the first quav- .ter came to a close. In the first play of the second quar ter Kirkland skirted the right wing for Elon’s second touchdown. Perry drop-kicked a goal. Neither team seem ed to make any progress for a while, but as the home team punted Smith and Flynn tackled the receiver in his tracks. A fumble by Hampden-Sidney placed the ball in the hands of the home team on the 20-yard line. Here the progress was halted and the pigskin was given over to Hampden-Sidney, who by a criss-cross made nine yards but failed to make a first down. Perry whipped a forward pass to Clark who completed it for 14 yards.

E Miss Virginia Pritchard will visit Elon on Monday and Tuesday, October 30 and 31. As has been previously stated in an earlier issue of ‘ ‘ Maroon and Gold”, she comcs in the interest of' the Student Volunteer Movement and the Y. W. C. A. Miss Pritchard is a graduate of Randolph Macon College. This year she is traveling for the movement. Her visit is looked forward to by many of the students. She will speak to the student body at the chapel services next Tuesday morning and afterwards will be glad to meet any one who Tishes a private talk with her con- erning their life’s problems. Arrangements for these individual _ aterviewa must be arranged through the president of the Y. M. C. A. ^ T. W. C. A. Clifford Devereux, supported by Zen- ita Graf and company of artist play ers, will appear here iu two plays on Thursday, November 2. ‘^Eomeo and Juliet’^ will be staged at a matinee performance, while “Arms and the Man’’ will be given at night. These two numbers, which will be presented in the college chapel, are given as added attractions to the lyceum course fostered by the Music Lovers Club. Holders of season tick ets are entitled to see these plays with out extra cost but a charge of $1.00 will be made for single admissions. This company of artists has gained a wide reputation for putting on shows of the highest order. ‘'Romeo and Juliet” is a play which needs no in troduction and “Arms and the Man” maintains equally as high a standard. The story describes the adventures in love and war of a soldier the like of which you never heard or saw. Un- romantic in war and prosaic in love and an enemy to boot, he nevertheless succeeds in securing the matrimonial prize where the romantic soldier of gallant exterior and empty head, fails Seeking assistance from the “girl” in the st6ry he is enabled to escape in an old coat .of her father’s. The subse quent adventures of this coat bring about enough trouble and good for tune to provide excitement and laugh ter for several plays. Mr. Devereux plays the unorthodox hero in his well known intelligent • manner and Miss Graf charmingly enacts the “girl.” Reina Petkoff is engaged to Serg ius, an officer of rank in the Bulgarian army. On a night when Sergius has consummated a brilliant victory Raina shelters a Servian, Captaii-. Bliiutxshli, in her room. She discovers, through him, that Sergius’ brilliant attack was sheer spectacular foolhardiness. Never theless, by her help and that of her mother, Bliintschli escapes, disguised in her father’s coat. Peace is declared—Sergius and Ma jor Petkoff, Raina’s father, return home and relate a story they have heard, of a fugitive being protected by two Bulgarian women, not know ing that they are Raina and her moth er. The women wish to maintain it a secrot, but at an inopportune moment Rluntschli calls to return the coat. Sergius and Petkoff meet him—Baina appears and unguardedly nearly be trays the previoiis acquaintance with Bluntschli. Bluntshcli' is pressed by Petkoff to remain as a guest. The servant Nicola, who has been instructed by Madame Petkoff to remove the coat from Blunt- shli’s bag, returns it to its a'Customid pface and Major Petkoff, much to his amazement finds the coat in the identi cal spot where half an hour before it could not be located. He is suspicious that it has been worn, and finds Raina’s photograph in the pocket, sub scribed by her to Bluntschli. Louka, Raina’s maid, tells Sergius the incident of Raina and Bluntshcli’s meeting. Sergius is furious and chal lenges Blutschli to a duel through which his infatuation for Louka is dis covered. What is the outcome? Who but Shaw could contrive such a human and laughable conclusion. STUDENTS HEAI! MW CONVENJIi SPEAKEflS Prominent Men in Religious and Educational World Address Students at Chapel. While the American Christian Con vention was in session in Burlington the Elon students had, the privilege of hearing a number of the best speak ers of the Christian Church. Dr. Frank H. Peters, Pastor of the Defiance College church, began the series with an inspirational talk. He said that it was not advice but senti ment that students wanted, and fol lowing in this lino the speakers brought messages of inspiration and sentiment which pleased the students. Dr. E. A. Watkins of Lima, Ohio, fol lowed Dr. Peters^ and his humorous stories in which he brought the great message of character building won for him a place in the hearts of his hearers. Dean Enders of the Defiance Semi nary brought a deeply spiritual mes sage. He was followed by two Chris tian college presidents. Dr. W. S. Alexander, of Union Christian College, talked on the opportunities of youth in this age. Dr. Alexander under stands student life, and his address was filled with that understanding and sympathy. Dr. A. G. Caris, President of Defi ance, spoke to the students on “Great Expectations.” He was careful to ex plain that the great expectations were not what the world owed the iudi- vidual, but what the parents, the com munity, and the God who had invested in the individual had a right to expect from. him. Dr. Caris presented his subject with emphasis and power. Dr. A. M. Kerr, Editor of the Her ald of Gospel Liberty, gave a fitting close to the series. Dr. Kerr is an able speaker and thinker, and he understands the trend of the times and believes that life is good. He plead for vision and understanding of the coming age in which the present stu dents will live and work. Tn the early eighties at a charity bazaar in Baltimore, patrons were al lowed to talk over Mr. Bell’s tele phone for 10 cents. Only $10 was realized, however, as most people ridi culed the invention. TWO SPEAKERS HERE FOR- SUNDAYJIGHT SERVICE Dr. John Warner of Buenos Aires and Mr. Hermon Eldredge Speak to Students. Two unusually interesting speakers appeared at the college chapel Sunday evening, Dr. John Warner, of Buenos Aires, Brazil, and Mr. Hermon Eldredge, of Erie, Pennsylvania, being the speak ers. Both men are Y. M. C. A. secre taries, and each discussed the problems which are met with in their respective countries. Dr. Warner was the first speaker, and in his talk he told why the needs in South^America are greater and differ ent from those of North America. Ho claimed that the pioneers oi South America were in search of gold, while the pioneers of North America were in search of God. He stressed the point that the people in South America lack the Christ which the people on the northern continent have the privilege of knowing. Mr. Warner gave five points why the standards of Brazil are low; namely, the vastness of the fron tier, the great amount of intemperance, the extensive gambling, the low moral ideals, and the lack of Christian re ligion. After the first speaker a special mu sic number was given. Misses Madge Moffitt and Irene Goff and Mr. C. P. Flynn sang a trio which was very suit able for the service. Mr. Hermon Eldredge then spoke about the work in the United States. The general theme of his address was on Life Recruit work. During his talk Mr. Eldredge said that there are two forces which control the lives of peo ple,—the force within and the force without. He also discussed three ques tions which he maintauis are essential to every life: first, am I a Christian? second, what does Christ want me to do? and third, am I ready to do what Christ wants me to do? He declared that the trouble with the world is that people will not apply Christianity when they have the opportunity. In closing, Mr. Eldredge made a strong appeal for young people to give themselves for some phase of Christian work. Premier Lloyd George will receive 90,000 pounds for his memoirs.

Dr. W. C. Wicker, head of the edu cation department of the college, in a very pleasing and helpful talk, stated the object of and the benefits that would result from such an organization. Dr. Wicker believes that this associa tion will be a source of great help to all its members. The teachers were urged to bring all their problems to the meetings of the association, and there feel free to discuss these prob lems and to ask advice concerning them. It is intended that these meet ings shall be a means not only of gain ing helpful ideas and suggestions, but also of aiding others by a discussion of the successful plans and practices that each is carrying out in his or her daily program. It was agreed upon that this assoc iation should meet each Friday even ing from seven o'clock until eight ex cept on those Friday evenings on which there are public programs given at the school. The following ofB.cers were elected; President, Supt. J. H. Hornaday; Vice- President, Pattie Lee Coghill; Secre tary and Treasurer, Mrs. R. S. Rainey This Elon Teacher and Student- Teacher Association is composed of members of the college faculty, the graded school faculty, and thirty-two college students who are doing practice teaching.

New Office Created for Correlation of Educational Work- Harper Asked to Serve as General Secretary— May Resign Presidency. -President After many days of deliberation con cerning the problems confronting the Christian Church, the American Chris tian Convention Tuesday night adjourn ed its quadrennial session held in Bur lington, October 17-25. One of the many decisions reached by the’ convention in its session was the consolidation of the various boards of educational work. Dr. W. A. Harper was chosen to head this general board. The closing days of the convention •pv'ere filled with the adoption of reports and the shaping of church policies. Dur ing these last few days the Christian Church took the most forward-looking step in Christian education in all his- tory. Hitherto, the church has had three departments: one of Christian Endeav or, one of Sunday schools, and one of schools and colleges. At the sitting of the convention it was decided to merge these departments into a central board of Christian education. This is the first time such a step has been taken by any church. It is the purpose of this boar.d to co-ordinate and correlate the whole educational system of the church. That which makes this step of so great interest to Elon and to those of the Southern Christian Convention is the fact that Dr. W. A. Harper, presi dent of Elon College, has been chosen as the general secretary of this board. It is altogether possible that this move of the convention may mean the resig nation of Dr. Harper. The provision which makes Dr. Harper head of th? board of Christian education makes it possible for him to remain president of the college, and also be connected with the work. The board plans to put several trained secretaries into the field to carry forward the work rapidly. The board is soon to hold a meeting in Dayton, Ohio, where plans will bo laid definitely for the work. Dr. Har per will assume the duties of the secre taryship at once, and the final decision will be arrived at during the commence ment season of the present college year.
