Fighting Christians Hold The
King Tornado To A Meagre
Six Point Lead Here Friday
Is Punters Duel
Christians Hold King to An Un
expected Low Score; Both
Teams Fight Hard.
VISITORS’ ONLY SCORE
IS RESULT OF A BREAK
A Blocked Funt Gives King Eleven a
Chance To Score. Elon Comes In
Scoring Distance Twice.
Last Friday iiffternoon the Maroon and
Gold warriors went out to avenge a
defeat of two years ago. And not only
that they went out to show the world
that they are made of better stuff
than the results of the week before
seemed to indicate. The Davidson
^‘Wildcats’' unmercifully whipped our
team, on their initial appearance this
year, and for that Coach Corboy shook
the red shirt in the face of each and
pr every member of the team. To cap the
-- climax, the invaders camo with a
= smile of victory on their face, and with
a boast of victory on their lips. The
sporting world, in particular, did not
\ give Elon a chance to hold the King
College ‘^Purple Tornado.”
But this is not half the story. From
the time the first whistle blew last
Friday afternoon until the last one,
there was a plenty of evidence to prove
that we were not ready to admit de
feat. The lid blew off when Elon kick
ed to King, at three o’clock. The
high lights of the game were as fol
lows:
Elon kicked off to King. Sackett
received and returned the ball to the
forty yard line. King was penalized
for off side play. King punted, Elon
blocked and King recovered. King lost
ball on downs. Kelley made fifteen
yard run around left end. Kirkland
fumbled, Thompson recovered. King
fumbled, Kirkland recovered. Harrell
punted to King’s forty yard line. King
^ passed, Gunn to Hammerstein, and
fumbled, Elon covered. Then came the
break that gave them a bare six poini;
majority, when Harrell attempted to
punt and King blocked and covered the
ball. King ran the ball to the two
yard line on a delayed buck. The quar
ter ended after King made two at
tempts to push the ball over.
At the beginning of the quarter King
made the only score of the game when
Sunn rooted the ball over. Gunn’s try
for the extra point was blocked. King
kicked, and Coggins ran the ball back
ten yards. Elon punted to King’s ten
yard line. King fumbled and Elon re
covered. Greenshield intercepted Kirk
land’s pass on the second down. King
punted to the fifty yard line, Kelley
covered the punt and was downed in
his tracks. Harrell punted to King’s
twenty yard line. Gardner covers and
-^runs it back ten yards. King passed,
Gunn to Berry, Berry fumbled the pass
jAl^and Elon covered. The half thus end
ed with the ball in Elon’s possession
and with the ‘‘Golden Tornado” fight-
ing hard to overcome a six point lead.
Elon kicked to fifty yard line, King
downed on the same line. King was

The Sponsor season has come around
again and the Junior girls seem to have
a large corner on the sponsor ml;rket,
so far. Sponsors for the two student
publication on the Hill both come from
the Junior class. Miss Wiley Stout,
of Sanford, N. C., has been chosen to
sponsor the Maroon and Gold. Miss
Stout is on the staff of the paper and
has always shown an active interest
in this and all other activities of the
class. The Maroon and Gold is indeed
honored to have her as its sponsor and
feels that with her as sponsor it should
enjoy the best year in its history.
Miss Judith Black has been choBen
to sponsor the Phipsicli. Mias Black
is from Phoebus, Va., and has always
been popular in her class and on the

of her father, a great friend of the
college, which was his Alma Mater.
The entire student body offers her its
heartfelt sympathy in her loss. The
Phipsicli looks forward to a most suc

guidance.

work but vividly described the scenery
of that country and the characteristics
of the people.
Miss Gwendolyn Patton gave a read

Misses Newman, Knott, Elder, Bing

The Y. W. C. A. led Sunday evening
at the regular service. The theme of
the service was “The Challenge of Our
Task.” This challenge was made espe
cially vivid by Miss ?Iannah Newman,
who told the story of the life of Sir
Galahad. In her story she told of
how the lost Holy Grail was found by
Sir Galahad be^iause he was pure and
noble. It had been lost because there
was no knight in all the land who was
sufficiently deserving, and it was found
only because Sir Galahad took up the
challenge of the task and went out in
search of it. Following the idea of
this story, the audience sang “Follow
the Gleam,” the Y. W. song.
Miss Hazel Knott gave a talk on
“What Is Our Task?”—the idea of
which w'as as follows: “Go ye into all

Pi KAPPA TAO GIRLS GO
ON OELIGHTFOL PICNIC
The Club is Host to a Party of Girls
On a Hike and Picnic in
The Woods.
The girls of the Pi Kappa Tau social
club had a very delightful time Satur
day afternoon -when they, with several
invited guests, went on a picnic. The
entire group w’as in a humor to enjoy
itself. A short hike soon brought them
to a pretty green valley, in the woods.
Here every one participated in games,
taking pictures, and singing old-time
medleys.
After an hour or two of this the
need of food was felt and appetites
■were not lacking. A pile of wood and
brush soon made a glowing camp fire
and weinies and marshmellows were
toasted over this fire. Besides this,
sandwiches of all kinds, pickles, cakes,
lemonade, and candy were served.
The evening shadows began to fall,
all too soon, and the tired, but happy
group wended its way back to the
campus. Every one reported this the
happiest day spent at Elon.
The members of the Pi Kappa Tau
