Elon Snowed Under In First
Gridiron Game In State By
Wildcats On Davidson Field
NUMBER 4
SCORE IS 34 TO 0
Sappenfield's Leg is Broken; Elon
Outplays Wildcats in Fourth
Quarter.
BOTH USE TWO TEAMS
Smashing Plays of Davidson Give Her
Command of Field During Most
Of The G-ame.
Elon’s hopes for an initial victory
over the Wildcats went smashing for
another year when the Davidson eleven
tore through the Christians for a 34 to
0 victory Saturday. The game, played
under a broiling sun that would have
sent heavier squads to the showers
was the first of the 1925 football sea
son in North Carolina.
Both Corboy and Younger used two
teams. Elon has been gradually re
duelng the scores by which Davidson
has won this initial game each year
and _ the overwhelming victory of
Davidson was little expected.
Elon was able to make but little
headway until the second half. During
the first half Davidson had undisputed
command of the game.
Davidson paid dearly for the victory.
, Nick Sappenfield, brilliant quarter of
j last season, broke his leg as he fell
: from a tackle, the injury being due
to the twisted position of his legs
when he fell. Sappenfield had his team
going at a fast i^ace and was just
I entering the 10-yard zone for the third
time when the accident occurred. The
loss of Sappenfield means a stunning
blow to Davidso-n’g championship hopes.
The Elon players have to a man ex
pressed their deep regret that the acci
dent occurred.
Younger sent in Hewlett, who be
sides being a capable quarter, got off
for repeated off tackle dashes, his
great speed at times pushing even the
fast Davidson halves a bit too closely.
Jim Hendrix went in for a good part
of the game, both as quarter and half.
The kick off, which again starts from
the 40-yard line, gave the crowd the
flame old thrill as Dick Grey, fresh
captain of last season, slipped down
the side lines for 52 yards and placed
[the ball in easy scoring distance. This
-halfback proved to be the find of the
jgame getting off later on for a 50-yard
spring for a touchdown and two runs
for around 30 yards.
After Wells had fumbled on the
second play Elon chose to kick. The
Davidson forwards smashed the ball
ind Bohannon kicked it up and tore
icross the goal line. Elon kicked again
ind . then Davidson began its great
hareh to the goal line. It was Captain
Bfack who Sappenfield sent smashing
Jito the Elon line for twelve of the
lext fourteen consecutive plays. Car-
the ball for 51 yards with great
:rive and unlimited endurance the
Davidson leader tore the light Elon
ine to tabters, finally placing the ball
ver the goal line. After a kick off
nd exchange Grey slipped around right
nd for 34 yards. The nex play brought
he fatal Sappenfield accident.

F. J. ALLSTON EXPECTED
IN FOOTBALL UNIFORM
We are glad to be able to report that
Frank Allston is much improved and
expects soon to be able to don his foot
ball uniform.
Frank was expected back in our foot
ball line-up this year, after a year’s
absence. He was one of the mainstays
of our line year before last and all
indications were that he would hold
that same place this year. Consequent
ly, the squad suffered a serious set
back when Frank developed a kernel
in his leg. He has been laid up with
this trouble ever since the first week
of school and the students are anxious
to see him back in his accustomed place
on the campus which we hope will bo
soon. I

The Maroon and Gold is the best
iiiecliuni on the campus, or in any de
partment of the college work, for keep
ing old students in touch with present
conditions. There is a general feeling
among our old “grade” that they
know the staff of the paper, even if
they have never seen them. It is this
vein of feeling that brings word to
ns of the success whieli alumni of the
school are making in the world. The
Maroon and Gold is glad to be of this
service, and would even invite more of
our old friends to write.
One of the latest bits of news that
comes to us is that Eev. E. T. Gotten,
15, has resigned a large pastorate at
Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, to accept a
charge at Franklin, Ohio. Eev. Mr.
Gotten is first cousin to Prof W. J.
Gotten, and was also' a classmate of the
professor’s. We are glad to hear of
his success and wish him much success
in his new work.
It is interesting, also, to note that
an Elon graduate, Eev. E. H. Hainey,
vacates the Franklin church to accept
a larger church at Danville, III. We
feel sure that both of these men will
succeed at their new work.
With the Davidson game played and
lost the Elon team has turned to the
task of getting into shape foT the com
ing of the Mountain Tornado from
King college. The loss of the David
son game, while not entirely unexpect
ed, was quite a shock in that the
score fas 34 to 0. The fact that this
green team clearly outfought and out
played the Davidson team in the final
quarter goes to show that the team
is built on the right foundation and
w'ith the experience gained in the
Davidson game will give a much better
account of themselves in the games to
come. Goach Corboy says that while
he w-as disappointed in the size of the
score, he was more thau pleased with
the comeback staged in the latter part
of the game and witli the individual
work of the men as -i whole.
The King team comes to Elon with
l^ractically the same team that scored
so tremendously several years ago. A
team that has a better record than a
point a minute. It is an exceptionally
fast aggregation with a great deal of
knowledge of the game. They have
played together for three years and they
are out to make a better record than
ever before.
It is the first time that the King
college team has played in North Car
olina and the fact that they have made
the groat record they have as a scor
ing machine there is a great deal of in

One night last week Dr. Harper spo'ke
to the Burlington Kiwanis Club on
“The American Constitution and the
Kiwanian Policy.” The occasion of
the speech was the one hundred and
thirty-eighth anniversary of the sign
ing of the American Constitution. Dr.
Harper is a keen student of political
history and of American life. He is in
touch with the political situation of
the country and consequently he was in
a position to speak with authority on
the sufbject.
He began his speech by outlining the
pieamble of the Constitution and show
ing how it applied to American life
and how ever since its adoption it had
been a beacon liglit for legislative
guidance. He then took the Kiwanian
policy and demonstrated how' it was a
I policy that fitted in with the spirit of
the Constitution. He pointed out how
both th(^ Kiwanian policy and the Con
stitution contained ideals that would
develop a citizenry equal to the task
of making this country the place that
the founders of the Constitution plan
ned for it to be.
Dr. Harper, however, took exception
to the fact that neither of these great
documents contained any suggestions
for the development of character. He
then stated that in order for either of
them to produce the thing toward
which they both pointed, namely, bet
ter citizens, they must provide for the
development of character. He then
showed by statistics, that the greatest
percentage of the crime committed in
the country was committed by persons
under the age of twenty-five years.
With these statistics and facts in mind
he went on to show how some policy
must be worked out, by which the
youth of the country can be educated
from the standpoint of character de
velopment.
Irene Williams, soprano, who for the
past three years, has been the star of
the William Wade Hiushaw Produc
tions of “Don Pasquals’' and “Cosi

and as a result of the great success
W'ith which she met in “Cosi fan
Tutte, ” she w'as engaged to sing the
leading role in this Opera at the Mosart
Festival in Paris, France, last summer.
Prior to her connections with Hinshaw,
Miss Williams was one of the stars for
tlie Society of American Singers. She
has also toured as Solo Artist with the
Harward Glee Club, and was co-starred
with De Wolfe Hopper in the New
York revision of “Erminie.” She has

astonishing rage, it is of lovely text
ure, beautifully produced and aided
and abetted by charm and personality.
Miss Williams makes records for
Brunswick.

intense. She has played in the greatest
settings and in the humblest—from

Thurlow Lieurance, Composer of In
dian Music, and Company. Mr. Lieur
ance has spent twenty years in re-
search work among the Indians, and is
recognized as the foremost composer
of Indian music, and among the great
est of all American Composers. The
works of 57 Composers were selected to
be studied for music appreciation and
music study work in the public schools
of America, and the compositions of
Mr. Lieurance were included in this
list.
He was one of seven American Com
posers so honored. His most popular
composition is “By the Waters of
-Vrinnetonka, ” which is a great favorite
with a large percentage of concert
artists. Mme. Melba, Mme. Alda, Miss
