COACH F. B. CORBOY
The Elou Fightiii{ Christians, i)lay-
jng tlie final game of their season, put
up a stellar exhibitiou of football here
Saturday against the Baptists, but the
field goal by Eackley from the 10-yard
line in the fourtli period gave the Wake
Torest team a victory by a 9 to 6 score.
The first half closed with the two
teanis locked in a 6 to 6 tie, with tlie
honors about evenly matched in scrim
mage gains. Neither team used the for
ward pass during the first half. Wake
.■Forest took the aggressive during the
second half but the Elon line held tight
Tvhen they approached the goal and
they could not force over a touchdown.
With a strong wind sweeping the
-gridiron the game began with Elon
kicking. After an exchange of a cou
ple of punts Elon began the drive that
counted for the scoring. Piercing the
Baptist line the ball was carried to
Wake Forest’s 32-yard line at the end
of the quarter. At the beginning of
-the second period Haine]’ skirted the
left end for 10 yards and Kirkland
plunged the remaining two for a touch
down. Richardson failed to kick goal.
Wake Forest also counted in the sec
ond frame when Rackley and Greasou
iound openings in the Elon line for j
good gains. With the ball on Elon’s
10-yard line a forward pass Rackley
to Riley scoreil. Ellerbe failed on his
try at goal. Tn the second peri'od Grea-
son took a long Elon punt and ran it
l)ack 37 yards. An intercepted for-
•ward pass and fumble gave the Bap-
•tists the ball on Elon's five-yard line,
l)ut were there held for three downs,
and Rackley b'ooted the ball for a field
goal from the 10-yard line on the fourth
■try.
Elon attempted a come-back in the
final minutes of play by a aeries of for
ward passes and two attempts at field
goal from the 40 and 30-yard lines. The
last attempt by Whitesell barely missed.
Wake Forest made 14 first downs to
Elon ’b 10.
Both teams resorted to the aerial
Tonte in the last half, in an effort to
■score. In this respect they were equal,
■for each team completed three passes
^nd failed on two.
It would be difficult to pi'ck out an
outstanding star for cither team be
cause both teams fought hard and each
member of the teams played real foot
ball. However, Hainer and Kirkland
■did splendid work for Elon in the back-
field. Hainer made several beautiful
runs in the open field and gained much
^or his team in end runs. Kirkland
■was in most every play and as usual
played real football. He hit the line
liard and could find the openings made
for him by the Elon linesmen. He
scored his team’s townchdown.
Smith, at guard gave the Wake For
est team considerable to worry about.
Allston, Elon dependable tackle, fought
hard and was always getting his man
in every play.
For Wake Forest Greason, Rackley
and Armstrong perhaps showed up best,
Riley made a good catch of Rackley's

ELON FOOIBALL SQOAD
CLOSES A GOOD SEASON
Hat Met Far Superior Teams—Won
Half of Games Played—Coach Has
Worked Hard for Winning Team.
The Elon football season came to a
lose Saturday when the [team met
Wake Forest on the local field. This
season has been Tvithout doubt the most
successful in the history of football
at Elon. Not so much in the games
won and lost, but by the spirit shown
by the team and the student body in
regard to the team.
A review of the season shows that
Elon has won half the games on her
schedule and lost four. The four losses
of Elon were to teams supposed to be
far her superiors. Elon defeated every
team in her class that she played.
The teams met and the scores of
the games wnll give an idea of what
Elon has done this year. They are as
follows:
Elou 0, Davidson 19.
Elou 3, Lynchburg 0.
Elon 6, King College 5i.
Elon 12, Hampden-Siduey 7.
Elon 6, Emory and Henry 0.'^
PStKALEON PROGRfim
INCLOOES WIDE FIELD
Miss Austin Discusses Woman’s Part
in Public Affairs—Other Numbers
Prove Very Interesting.
A program of unusual interest was
rendered in the girls’ gym last Monday
evening in the regular session of the
Psykaleon Literary Society. The pro
gram was not just one main topic, but
covered a wide range of subjects.
Miss Lucy Austin gave a talk on the
part woman is playing in public affairs,
especially in the field of social service.
Not only do women co-operate with var
ious agencies for social service, but
their clubs and associations of all kinds
are turjiing more and more to tlie con
sideration of social matters outside the
range of their own immediate interests.
Women are playing a great part in oth
er fields than the field of social service.
They are employed, the speaker stated,
in almost all the industries of the
world.
Miss Ruth Crawford gave the life
of the great Fre'iich artist, Jean Baptist
Carot. Carot was a great friend of
Millet, and is ranked along with Millet
in the world of art.
Miss Margaret Corbitt sweetly and
distinctly sang, “My Lover is a Fish
erman.” Miss Corbitt was accompan
ied by Miss Mary Lee Foster.
A reading, “He Tried to Tell His
Wife,” was given by Miss Alma Smith.
This was a very humorous reading and
Miss Smith’s interpretation of her char
acters was splendid.
Humor by Miss Dessie Banks was
good. She gave several very amusing
jokes.
The career of one of America’s great
est portrait painters, Cecelia Beaux,
w’as given by Miss Ruby Atkinson. She
gave many important and interesting
facts about the great painter. We find
that the name, Cecelia Beaux, itself,
means music and beauty.
Miss Blanche Reitzel gave an essay
on “The Earthquake in Japan.” This
was a very interesting subject, and al
though the earthquake occurred some
time ago, Miss Reitzel gave many facts
concerning it.
The program closed with a reading,
“Angelina Johnson,” by Miss Judith
Black.

for Entertainment Monday.
Fou-
J. E. Whitesell "was elected cap
tain of the football squad for the
1924 season at a meeting of the
team held here today. His rec
ord for consistent playing is un
equalled at Elon. He played
every minute of every game in
T922 and has played a great game
this year. He graduates this year
but is expected to pursue post
graduate work at the College next
year.
The members of the student body
were delightfully entertained by the
“Two-More” orchestra Saturday eve
ning in the chapel at 7:30 o’clock.
There w'ere a number of students pres
ent. The concert was very appropriate
and was greatly enjoyed by the audi
ence.
The first selection, a guitar duet, was
rendered by Messr.s. Sides and Foushee
in a very impressive manner.
Next was a selection by Messrs.
shee and Wicker.
0. C. Johnson contributed much to
the evening’s pleasure wdth several se
lections on his Hawaiian guitar. He
also delighted the audience- by his ef
forts to extract music from a handsaw.
Although the saw was a little stubborn
in responding to Mr. Johnson’s deli
cate touch, the novelty of it was highly
amusing to the audience.
Mr. Foushee then sang “In the Shade
of the Old Apple Tree,” and played an
accompaniment on his guitar.
Gordon Crymes concluded the pro
gram with some selections on the piano.
As a whole the concert was a great
success.
The members of the orchestra also
went to Cary High School on Mionday
night of this week and rendered a pro
gram. The members report a good time
and say the people treated them splen
didly.,
Mr. T. H. Andrews, ’23, spent the
week-end here with Mr. Mark Mc
Adams.

The success of the team is due in a
large measure to the splendid co-opera-
tion between the Coach and the play
ers. With only about seven letter men
to start the season. Coach Corboy has
worked up a wonderful machine with
the material that responded to the call
of football this year. Coach has work
ed unceasingly to give Elon a winning
team, and his efforts are being realized.
Taken as a whole, the season has
been very gratifying to the students
and the team.
Mr. C. P. Flynn,
here last week-end.

At meetings held on last Tliursday
and Tuesday of this week, the Fresh
man class made further steps in their
organization. In addition to officers
already elected the class chose the fol
lowing; Prof. L. M. Cannon, sponsor;
Miss Gwendolyn Patton, historian; Miss
Frances Turner, poet; E. W. Auman,
cheer leader for boys.
For the annual Freshman-Sophomore
debate the following debaters were
chosen, one from each literary society:
R. M. Hook, Phi'lologian; Glenn R. Mil
ler, Clio; Marie Nobles, Psiphelian;
Helen Battley, Psykaleon.
Among other things 'considered at
these meetings was the question of
Freshman stunt night. The class de
cided to give this stunt on Thursday
night of this week. The matter of
getting pins and pennants was discuss
ed. Purple and gold were chosen as
the class colors, and the pansy as the
class flower.
The entire student body was shocked
on last Wednesday evening when word
w^as received here of the death of Mrs.
D. L. Harrell, of Suffolk, Va. Mrs.
Harrell is the mother of Lillian and
Lemuel, who are students here.
Mrs. Harrell died suddenly about 5
o’clock while out in the yard working
with her flowers, and this made the
shock greater because her death was
unexpected. Heart trouble is assigned
as the cause of her death.
She is the wife of Dr. D. L. Harrell,
a prominent Suffolk physician. She vis
ited Elon recently and is remembered
bv manv who niet her at that time.
The whole student body sympathizes
with those who mourn and especially
extends its sympathy to Lillian and
I.omuel in their great loss.

DEAN SAVAGE ATTENDS
WOMEN'S CONVENTION
Dean Louise Savage left Tuesday
morning to represent Elon College at
the second annual convention of the
State Association of Deans of Women,
which met at North Carolina College in
Greensboro Tuesday and Wednesday.
This session was attended by 28 women
representing 15 colleges and four high
schools of this state.
This organization, a branch of the
national association, was formed last
year at the University of North Caro
lina with six charter members. Mrs.
M. H. Stacey, of Chapel Hill, is presi
dent and presided over the business ses
sion. The program included many ad
dresses by speakers of experience along
lines covered by the association’s work.
The seventh semi-annual convention
of the North Carolina Collegiate Press
Association was held in Durham^ at
Trinity College, November 15, 16, 17.
There were over 40 delegates present
representing 15 colleges of the state.
This convntion was one of the great
est of its kind ever held. It was great
I'ot because of the work it did nor the
plans it made, but because of the feel
ing which existed between the dele
gates. These 40 delegates seemed to
realize that the time has come when
the college publications of the state
have a real duty to perform.
The convention opened Thursday
night with a gathering in Southgate
Hall. It was called to order by George
V. Allen, of Trinity, second vice presi
dent, because of the fact that L. D.
Elkins, of Davidson, president, would
not arrive in time for the opening meet
ing.
Mr. Allen presided over the meeting.
The Dean of Women welcomed the dele
gates to Southgate Hall. Dr. Wanna-
maker spoke for Dr. Few, who could
not be present. Professor Cannon ap
peared on the program in place of Dr.
Laprade, w'ho was to deliver an ad
dress on “The Possibilities of th«
North Carolina Collegiate Press Asso
ciation.” Professor Cannon doliTer«d
a very helpful address.
