Manager W. J. Gotten Faculty Advisor Advertising Bates Upon Req,uest The football team doesn't look as much overfed this week as it has been looking. The spirit shown by the stu dents, in going to the game last Saturday, is the spirit that makes for success in the athletic world. Judging ^rom announcements made in chapel we would say that the dean of women must be on the advertising committee of the Music Lovers’ Club. Two or tree cripples were an expensive price to pay for win ning from Guilford, but even the unfortunates are willing to admit that it was well worth the price. Two weeks is a long time to wait for an opportunity to see another game. But if more de termination can be summed up in those two weeks then they will not have been spent in vain. At least it will not be impossible for the student to talk this thing up and to have some of the real “Fighting Christian” spirit up by the time w^e meet our friends from Duke, here in our back yard. The nearest we have ever come to beating the Durham warriors was the time when we tied them on their own grounds, a few years ago. If there is such a thing as more pep, more flighting spirit, and more determination, in this student body, let’s see it from now on. Last year they said “Whoopee girls, Elon has ball.” They said it for a joke, we say it this year and we mean by it that it is our steadfast purpose to have the ball when the game starts and when it ends. DEATH We choose the word death, in this instance, to describe our feel ings. Not particularly because we are dead, but because that sad word brings to mind the passing of several things, which at the present time, are called to mind. One of the most pressing of these things is the passing of optional chapel attendance. This very thing is dead, it is no longer one of our living joys, one of our dear bosom companions. Assuming that optional chapel attendance is, or was an animate object and that it is now deceas ed, the next thing to do is to have a coroner’s jury inquire into its death, with the intent of learn- ir^ the cause of the said death. l^on looking into this paritcular (rase we can find no other cause for it than that it was worked to death. For two years the student body here was given a free horse to ride, with the understanding that if he w’asn’t worked to death he would be a permanent posses sion. Now, the sad part of the story is that the student body did not want permanent optional chapel attendance, because they did not take the proper advantage of it when it was offered. From this sad case let us re member two things, namely: That if we are ever given any thing we must not wear it out before it gets old, and, too, let us remember that we are practic ing inconsistency when we grumble about having to attend religious services because it is our own human nature that brought that condition to pass. i SOM STU * J BY J J SOM STUDE I S ‘' Well, it took two years to win a foot ball game, but we finally did. And what better time could w’e have picked to' win a game? What* better place could we have picked to beat Guilford? In a sense we beat them on their own back yard, but, on the other hand, we feel that there were enough of our supporters there to call half the field our own. That is a good example of good old ‘‘school spirit.” BEAT DUKE! —O— We take this opportunity of explain ing to the student body that Mr. Wee vil is not a weevil at all, especially not a boll weevil. He is a Coggins- Special note to ‘'Tubby" Cox. BEAT DUKE! —M— Since the time Miss Savage asked the student body to rejoice with her, over the fact that a man tried to hug her at the game, there has been much speculation as to who the man was. As long as this condition exists on the campus we are afraid that suspicion will rest on the wrong man. There were several professors, and other eligible young men at the game. Con sequently we deem it unwise to longer keep under cover the fact that ‘‘Soe’’ Rainey was the culprit. It might be well also to report that ‘‘So'c’’ is not blind. Better success next time, Rainey. BEAT DUKE! —S— The students of Duke University must be very grateful to Mr. Duke for his gift that made a college into a university. But we sometimes won der if the majority of the under graduates wouldn’t rather have had Red Grange. They’ll need him worse than they need money Saturday week. And while we are on the subject, here is a. little verse culled from “Life’’: “The name of Duke was writ in smake. As graiteful smokers all acknowledge; He gilded Learning’s empty poke And wrote his name across a college. ’ ’ BEAT DUKE! _T— If the Boosters’ Club boosts and the Music .Lovers’ Club loves, do the Social CUibs socialize? No. BEAT DUKE! —U— We see that the Sophomores still have a paint be-smeared supremacy over the task, but they still seem to be willing for the Freshmen to hold sway over the athletic field. We w’ould certainly like to’ see the Sophs paint the ball field fence or the Freshmen paint the task. BEAT DUKE! ANCIENT RIVALS GO DOWN IN DEFEAT BEFORE ONSLAUGHTS OF ELON FOOTBALL WARRIORS (Continued from Page 1) Fourth dowm, 5 yards and goal tc goal. PrO'bably the Quakers were expecting a drop kick. Probably they were rattled. Anyway none of them seemed to notice George Kelly when he ran around right end. This fast little w^arrior caught a short pass from Bock, ran unmolested across the goal line, dropped slowly to his knees and touch ed the ball to the ground for the points which gave Elon the victory. Harrell, Kelly and Kirkland were outstanding in the Elon backfield, with Coggins, Baub and Bock also doing good work. McAuley, Byerly and Brown played a great line game. Guilford's stellar player was Kimrey. Warrick at center and McBane, half back also cifme in for their sliare of the credit. Kirkland, Harrell and Bock, in order, called signals for Elon, while Kimrey served as Guilford’s quarterback throughout the fight. The game started at 3:00 o’clock. Guilford by a series of line bu^ks and end runs and a punt returned the ball to Elon's 40-yard line. Then Kirkland, Harrell, Kelly and Coggins alternated in end runs, making about five first downs. When this rapid march had brought the pigskin tO' their 20-yard line, the Quakers called time. On the next play Kelly carried the ball around right end to the 10-yard line. Kirk land made 2 yards on an end run. Kelly was thrown for a 7-yard loss on a reverse play. A pass from Kirkland to Braw’ley netted 10 yards and placed the ball on the 5-yard line. Another attempted pass was knocked down back of the goal and the ball went to Guil ford on do’wns. Kimrey went around right end for 17 yards. An Elon pen alty and two line charges netted 8 yards more. Guilford then punted and Kirkland returned the ball 15 yards. After Kirkland gained 4 yards the quarter ended. Harrell gained 1 yard through the line. On the next play Elon w’as pen alized 15 yards for holding. Two end runs by Kelly netted 15 yards and Elon was then penalized for an equal distance. Foster punted. After mak ing only 3 yards on as many plays Guilford punted. Coggins returned the ball 20 yards in a beautiful brcken- field run. Next Elon was penalized 25 yards for clipping. Foster’s punt was returned 15 yards. The Quakers ex hibited great form when they carried the ball 30 yards to Elon’s 13-yard line in six plays. The Guilford stands were clamoring for a touchdown. Here the Elon linet stiffened and the Quakers could gain only 3 yards in 3 downs. Kimrey elected to try a placement kick. Warrick threw the ball far over the receiver's head. The man who re covered was downed on the 35-yard line and the ball went to Elon. Two charges by Elon lost three yards . Guil ford fumbled Foster’s punt and Bob Brown recovered it. An Elon pass was intercepted and run back 3 yards. Kirkland intercepted a Guilford pass which he returned 4 yards. Then by some neat side-stepping Raub complet ed a pass for 25 yards. Two runs by Raub carried the ball 9 yards and plac ed it on Guilford’s 15-yard line. Rich ardson was sent in to try for a field goal. His attempt went wide. After one more jilay the half ended with the ball in Guilford’s possession on her own 24-yard line. As the second half started Hendrick son returned Elon’s kick-off 25 yards. Three charges by Guilford failed to make a gain and a punt followed which Kelly returned 5 yards. Harrell starred in the next three plays, smashing through the line and going around the ends for 15 yards. Two more charges did little goo'd and Hqrrell punted. Kimrey and McBane ripped the Elon line for a first down. Two line plunges by Robertson gained 6 yards. Again Kimrey went over tackle for a pretty run. He got by every Elon player ex cept Kelly, who was playing safety. When downed he had gained 17 yards. The Elon line again stiffened, and stop ped the Quaker onslaught. A Guilford punt sent the ball to Elon’s 19-yard line, and Kelly who received, w^as down ed in his tracks. Then Kirkland, Kelly and Harrell took turns in bringing the ball back to the center of the field. Here Coggins took a hand and carried the ball to Guilford’s 34-yard line in two plays. The quarter ended. In the final period Elon took charge of the game. Guilford had the ball only twice, one of these times coming when she received an Elon kick-off following the touchdown. While they had the ball the Quakers made only 10 yards, 4 yards on an off-tackle play and 15 yards on a punt. After Guil ford had been penalized 5 yards and Elon 15, Harrell and Kelly carried the ball 11 yards. Then Harrell punted, the Guilford receiver being doTvned on his 17-yard line. Kimrey tried the Elon line twice, making 4 yards. Then Guilford sent a punt to Kelly, who was downed 43 yards from the goal. Bock, Coggins, Kelly and Harrell carried the ball into the sacred 10-yard zone .in straight football, their gains averaging 3 yards to the play. The ball was on the 9-yard line. Kelly and Coggins failed to gain on line bucks. Harrell made 4 yards through the line. Fourth down, 5 yards to the goal, only a few minutes to play. Then two Freshmen, both products of the Durham High School, executed the piece of risky headwork described above. It brought the touchdown and threw the Elon students into hysterics. The drop kick for extra point failed. Elon kicked off and downed the re ceiver on his 28-yard line. The Guil ford students started a spirited cheer ing of their team. In a desperate ef fort to score the Quakers attempted an aerial attack. The first pass, a long one, was incomplete. Eaub intercepted the second and returned it to the 25- yard line. The Guilford line looked weak. Raub, Coggins and Kelly car ried the ball 20 yards in five plays. Elon students went dow^n to the end of the field to see the ball carried across again. But after the second down, with the ball 5 1-2 yards from the goal, the final whistle blew.

It was a case of parental zeal without practical knowledge. Any man who yells fire in a crowded school house or other congested building- is a criminal and murderer whetlier he knows it or not. But the best way to prevent the loss by fire of scho'ol property and the lives of school children is to build fire-proof buildings and remove fire hazards. Fire proof construction costs more, but it is cheaper in the long run, and the public can always afford to take the long view of a situatio'n. It is false economy to build non-fire proof school buildings. It is doubly false economy, now that our school buildings have to house restaurants, laundries, garages, chemical and other laboratories, machine and manual training shops, and the other necessities of a well rounded educational program.
