PHALTI LAWRENCE IN
BURLINGTON HOSPITAL
Pbalti Lawrence, young son of Dr.
P. Lawrence, was carried to Rainey
Hospital, Burlington, N. C., Tuesday,
where lie was ope-rated on for appendi
citis.
Jt reported that the operation was
successful and that he is getting along
nicely at this time.
Promptly at 2 P. M. Thanksgiving af
ternoon one of the greatest gridiron
battles ill Elon’s football history will
be staged on Comer Field. On this oc-
caaion the present ^Varsity team will
engage the much-discussel Alumni
Eleven, The big question for discus
sion on the campus for two weeks past
has been the probable outcome of tlds
•conflict and interest heightens as the
event approaches.
The organization of the Alumni Team
is thus far purely a paper mobilization
of their forces and from two to five for
mer Elon star pigskin chasers are lined
up for e-acli position. Truly the front
thus presented by the old-timers is for
midable. They will, for a certainty,
play a brilliant and dashing, though
probably eratic, game of spectacular
football w’itli liair-rising and breath
taking thrillers as well as probable
laugh-provoking fumbles. In contrast
to the high degree of individual dash
find ability coupled with a lack of co
operation that is expected from the
Alumni, the 'Yarsity will meet the at
tack not with outstanding individual
stars but with a much more thoroughly
disciplined teamwork and consistency.
Both sidos seem confident of victory.
The students as a whole, wliile- rooting
for the ’Varsity, are about evenly di
vided as to the probable outcome. At
the present wn-iting the only sure pre
diction is that tlio game- will be intense
ly interesting and wall long be remem-
l)ered by every sx>ectator who is inter
ested in Elon sports.

Elon resumed her football career in
