Trinity scored in all quar- tei’s, 15 coinjdett'd forward passes being responsible for a goodly portion of the Blue Devils' points. The Methodists went down the field almost at will, making 15 first downs. Elon’s line was strong, and on sever al occasions hebl the Blue Devils untih punting had to be relied upon, Cald- well’s toe W’orked beautifully for Trin ity during the afternoon. He centerecl .the goal posts in six out of eight tries for extra points. At one time Elon’s left tackle, White- sell, intercepted and raced 40 yards for a touchdown. The ball was declared grounded by the referee, however. Virtually all of Trinity’s gains were of the long-distance variety, aerial passes working good.
