SEVEN NEW MEMBERS
Last Organized Social Club Has Opened
Its Boor to New Girls.
Miss Ruth Vancannon of High Point
College, and a former student of Elon,
was a visitor on the hill Sunday.
The cdass games that are being play
ed between the classes are getting more
interesting and exciting as the games
are played. This week has seen the
staging of two of the most exciting
games that have been playedj on Elon's
ctvnrt in many days, not excepting Var
sity games. These games -ivore played
by the Juniors and Sophomores, and
Juniors and Seniors.
The Jnn5or-Sophon)ore game was
played last Priday. This game was
slow in the first half. The Juniors,
however, were leading by a inargin of
five points at the end of the half. Tn
the second half tlie Sophomores came
back strong and tied the score after a
few minutes of jday. The game then
see-sa.wed until at the end of the game
the score stood tied again at 10-10. Aji
extra five minutes were played when a
foul goal and a field goal gave the Jun
iors the game 13 to 10. Watts and
VVoodie tied for honors for the Sopho
mores, each of them ringijig up two
field goals and a foul. For the JunioTS
Johnson and Crutchfield did the best
work. The former got a fiebl goal and
two fonls and the latter two field goals
nnd two foiils, one of each coming dur
ing the extra fi\-e minutes of plav.

Junior-Senior Game.
This game played Mc-nday afternoon
rivaled the game jdayed oii last Friday
for interest and excitement. The Sen
iors were the first to score getting a
Poul goal in the first few minutes of
play. The Juniors then caged a field
goal which put them one point in the
lead. From that time on it was nip
nnd tuck, first one side and then the
other scoring and tnking the lead. The
end of the first half found the Seniors
lending by a score of 0 to 4. When
rlie second half started the Juniors soon
wiped out this lead and forged ahe;ii.
foT a few minutes. However, the Sen
iors took the lead about five minutes
before the gnnie was over and held it
until three fouls called in succession
caused them to lose this and the game
bv a score of 17 to 15. There were no
individunl stars in this game. It was
featured by the close guarding of the
two teams. Tn fact, this accounted for
tliC many fouls being called on botli
sides. !Most of the points scored b.v'
both sides came as a result of foul i
shots.
