C., OCTOBER 24, NUMBER Hampden-Sidney Tigers Are Victims Of Consistent Elon Playing On Comer Field Here SCORE IS 12 TO 7 No Stellar Plays Attempted by Christian Machine—All Play ers Are at Their Best. tigers fight manfully Individual and Erratic Playing Lose for Virginians—Elon Makes Only One Substitution. EMERSON SIDES JUNIOR CilR FURNISH SUNDAY M0RNIII6 MUSIC Dr, Newman Delivers Impressive Ser mon to Young People—Mr. Orban is Introduced. The Fighting Christians triumphed over the Hamp.len-Sidney Tigers in the first home game of , the season to the tune of a 12 to 7 score. On Comer field last Saturday as pretty an exhi bition of team work was displayed by the home team as lias ever been wit nessed here. Team work and good old ■conservative football won the day for Maroon and Gold. Individual and er ratic playing lost the laurels for the YirginiaDS. There were no stars on Coach Cor- bov’s grid team—or rather, there were 12 stars. Only one substitution was made, Cardwell for Allston wiien an injury to the latter made it teeessary for Allston to retire from the remain der of tlie game. McAdams, Sides and Kirkland gained ground consistently through t]ie line; “Aljph” and “Rob” Brown did excellent work in receiving forward passes, and Allston and John Smith opened up holes in the visitors’ lino for their own backfield man to plunge through, and nipped in the bud many stubborn plays to handle. Hampden-Sidney found Elon’s line fls firm as a rock wall and no amount of line plunges made it w’aver. Con sequently the Tigers’ offense was shift ed to end runs, at which game by the stellar work of Smyth and Atkins the pigskin was carried over the Maroon and Gold line for the visitors’ lone touchdown in the third quarter. After a series of long end runs by Smyth lie himself carried the ball over for the touchdown, and Carter booted it over the crossbars for the extra point after touchdown. To begin the initial pcrioil Hampton- Sidney kicked and Kirkland received, running the ball back 10 yards. Then came a series of line plunges, and, as sisted by one forward pass, Harrell to A. Brown, and two off-side penalties, the Elon football team marched down the length of the field for first down after first ^own until the ball, which had not yet been in possession of the visitors, was forced over the counting mark. Kirkland carried tlie ball ov^, and Whitesell failed at goal. Score •6 to 0 in favor of Elon. Hampden-Sidney then received, and after one first down was forced to punt. The quarter ended with the ball in Elon’s possession on their own 20-yard line. The second quarter was a game of see-saw, with fi^rst one team punting and then the other, the ball in open ter ritory all the time. Then came the touchdown for Hampden-Siduey in tlie third period. Score 7 to 6 in favor of Hampden-Sidney. In the final frame Elon opened up lier aerial attack and six short forward passes directly over the line, five of which were completed, completely baf fled the Tigers and before the smoke of battle had cleared up Sides had •crossed the line with the winning touch down. Whitesell again failed at goal, ^nd the score stood 12 to 7 in favor * (Continued on Page Two) f JOHN SMITH Maroon and Gold halfback who carried over the winning touch- d,own in the Hampden-Sidney game last Saturday. PHI’S DEBUTE SCTS OF M. Hook, H. W. May, and S. M. Lynam Are Menti’oned by the Decision Committee. The Sunday morning service of the College Church varied somewhat last Sunday from the regular services. The music, which was perhaps the most beautiful feature of the service, was rendered by the junior choir, as sisted by Misses Madge Moffitt and Marion Lee Newman. The choir sang “Holy, Holy, Holy,” as a response, after which they saug “The Lord is My Shepherd.” The third musical number was an anthem, Handel’s ‘ ‘ Largo. ’ ’ Before the sermon by the College Pastor, Dr. Harper introduced M. Or- ban, Jr., of Whittier, California, who is the donor to the Cpllege of $50,000 for the erection of the Christian Edu cation building. Dr. Harper introduced Mr. Orban as a man of great deeds, but of few words. Mr. Orban declined the invitation to make a speech, but spoke simply a few words of sincere greeting and praise to the College. Dr. Newman took for his text the advice of Solomon to youth, as found in Proverbs 3:6: “In all thy ways ac knowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” The speaker pictured life as a journey with three most important dividings of the way. The first one was the decision of the youth that he will, or will not, follow Christ. The second was deciding -vhere to follow Him,—in what kind of work. And the third was deciding how to follow Him. “It is not enough,” Dr. Newman said, “that the youth shall decide to follow Christ. He must decide also where he shall follow Him, and how. He must so follow Christ that he will be able to render the greatest possible service to God through ministering to the needs of God’s children.” CIMNGES ARE MADE AT MEETING OF GENERAL BOARD IN UAYION, ORIO Dr. Smith Resigns to Accept New Work—Miss Eldredge is to Leave Southern Work.

Johnston discussed “The Most Interesting Person in the World.” H. W. Jones spoke on his winter with R. 0. Smith. “Fuquay as a Mineral Springs” was the subject of M. M. Johnston’s talk, while A. B. Johnston spoke on the life and works of John D. Rockefeller. Following this an interesting debate was given on the query, ‘ ‘ Resolved— That Governor Walton was justified in placing Oklahoma under martial law.” The affirmative was represented by H. W. May and R. W. Johnston, while Thomas Huey, S. M. Lynam and V. A. Tumley upheld the negative. The de cision was rendered in favor of the negative. R. M. Hook was named best oratori- callv, H. W.

The community church idea is meet ing with enthusiasm here by all citi zens of the community, and it is ex pected to take a very important and active place in the life of the commun- iav, especially with reference to the duties of the above-named committees. A number of important changes were made at’ the Dayton meeting of the General Board of the Christian Con vention. Dr. W. A. Harper, who at tended the meeting, returned to Elon last Saturday night. There are 50 members of the Gen eral Board, and 48 were present at the Dayton meeting. The two who were absent were Dr. W. W. Staley and W. F. Corwith, who were both^ill. Both these men are known to Elon students and alumni. ,The meeting was a pleasant one, ac cording to Dr. Harper. All the paid secretaries of the various boards met on Monday, and arranged their reports for the boards. On Tuesday morning the various boards met. Missions, Christian Education, Publications, Min isters’ Relief, Evangelism, and others were in session until Wednesday nij^’-'' Their reports were ready for the (a. eral Board on Thursday morning. The important changes occurred iA the field secretaries of the Board of Christian Education. Dr. H. Shelton Smith, Field Secretary of Administra tion and Leadership Training, resigned his work "with the Board. He has ac cepted a position with the Internation al Sunday School Council as Education al Secretary. Hermon Eldredge has given up his work at Field Secretary of Young People’s Work, and will take the work which Dr. Smith has left va cant. Mr. Eldredge, however, will con tinue to edit the young people’s lit erature. Miss Lucy M.

She will become Field Secretary of Young People’s Work and Head quarters Secretary. Dr. S. Q. Helfenstein will continue to edit the adult literature, and Mrs. Fred E.

The Board of Publications decided to make Mr. A. F. Chase, who has been with the Christian Publishing Associ ation for a number of years. Circula tion Manager for all the publications of the Christian Church. Mr. Chase is well fitted for this position. Dr. Harper feels that the meeting in Dayton was one which speaks well for the program of the Christian Educa tion work of the church. “A paid full time General Secretary would make the work complete,” he said, “and we are going to have that before long.” EMORY AND HENRY SATURDAY A very unfortunate happening oc curred yesterday afternoon on the foot ball field.
