At the same time we are proud of the other men wlio made it possible for him to do his stuff. But even at that we can hardly say that our team has staged a complete come-back unless they hold Wake Forest. The student body got behind the team for once. Keep it up, it is needed more this week than it was last. We are more than glad to see the alumni back on the Hill. It shows that you are interested in your alma mater. We can't exactly say that we have a “Red” Grange on our campus, but we do declare that we are proud of our Neal Raub. OUR TEAM As we approach the end of an other football season, it is well that we do a little retr9spective thinking along the lines of foot ball. Since the rebuildng of the college and the accompanying higher plane of our class room standards, there has been a feel ing that there should be an ac companying higher plane for our athletic teams. We see no reason why this thought shouldn’t pre vail among the friends of the col lege. It is well that success should be expected of our teams. The point we want to make of all this, is that there has possibly been too much expected of our football team. Perhaps we have been a little too ambitious for our football team. Some of us have e.xpected it to win too many of the scheduled games and some of us have desired a schedule too ambitious for the team. Last year the football team did not win a single game. That, indeed, was a bad season, but even at that let us see who we played: David son, Duke, Wake Forest, and other teams out of our class. Tak ing this into consideration we see no reason for the alumni losing heart over our athletic standing. There are two policies that tJie management of a team of our team s calibre can have in arrang ing its schedule. The schedule can be arranged to include teams of equal or inferior ability, with the idea in mind of making a good showing in number of points scored. Or it can be arranged with state teams, regardless of the fact that most of them out class us, with the idea in mind of making a good showdng against better teams. The latter is the policy that ha.s been followed here for some time. Whether or not it is the best policy, of course, is a point for debate. If the stu dents here, the alumni, and the friends of the college wish this team to turn in a bigger percent age of wins, we believe that this policy can be changed if a con certed movement can be put on foot to have it changed. There is also another outstand ing question, concepiing our ath letic outlook. That is, will we be able to keep our men long enough to make a real experi enced team of it? A successful football team is made up of team work and experience. A great amount of stress should be put on the latter, too. Then if this be the case, we can easily see that we must keep our teams together. For the past several years we all know that the teams have not stayed together from one season to another. The men come and go before they can be made into a “going” team. Now, the ques tion is, how are we going to keep the men here long enough for them to become a team? It is a problem that will have to be faced earnestly and squarely before we can afford to openly criticize the standing of the teams that we do have. Before we can criticize the coach, or his system of coaching, w^e must eliminate the possibility of lijs having to make his teams every year from raw material. ♦; >; >’ >■ >; >. >!

The Fighting Christians are not out to hold Wake Forest to a sniall score. They are out to win. They feel that here is a chance to' redeem the season —not that they have anything to be ashamed of, but here is a chance to close the season on a wave of glory. Tlie Deamon Deacons will be forced to display the best brand of football they've exhibited this year if they ex pect to win.

Ft., Jr. « • • Jo Ring He had })aused to watch the quiver, Of faint moonbeams on the river, By the gate. We had heard something sailing And a heavy dew is falling, Yet we wait. It is no doubt very silly To stay out in all this chilly Evening mist, Still he Ungers hesitating For her lips are plainly waiting To be kissed. So he stoops to take possession Of the Coveted Concession On the spot. But she draws back with discretness, Saying with tormenting sweetness, “I guess not.” Her whole manner is provoking; “Oh well, I was only joking;” His reply. She looks penitently pretty. As she answers, “What a pity! So was I. ’ ’ « « * If you can’t think of anything to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, here are a few suggestions: All-day social hour, turkey, dates, co-education, col lege store, the game with Emory and Henry, sleep (on classes), and others that space will not allow. Merry Chnstnias and Good Health hoping that he will soon be able to join the regular team. Elon has §ome very good material for cross country. Some of the men are nearing the best time marks made in the state during the previous year. Cross country is one of the best ways that we have to develop young men physically. Now, let’s all get the old college spirit to going, for we must win from State November 28. “JUNIORS JU'NIORS” —SEE— ALLEN WALKER About Your Rings.
