NUMBER 6 Fighting Christians Battle Demon Deacons To 0-0 Score Jv ALL HAIL COACH WALKER who won the prize IN THE LAST ISSUE? The Proverbial Dope Bucket Was Upset, Mashed and Squashed. Every Man Rallied to Zack Walker’s Leadership. Elon College.—All hail to Coach Walker, and his fighting Christians. This is one time that the Demon Deacons had more than a ‘‘limbering up exercise,” as their college paper put it. It was a gruelling battle from start to finish, with Elon on its op ponent's four yard line and first down when the final whistle blew. “Zack” Walker, through his able leadership, forced the Deacons to play defensive ball throughout the greater part of the game. “Doodle” Daniels with his driving and tackling was one of the stellar performers of the game. Every man played the game, each com ing into his share of glory; for glory it is. because it is the first time in many moons that Elon has held Wake Forest to a tie score. The Elon team was given a hearty welcome on their return to the college after the game, with speech making and bonfire by the students, and that game has been the main topic of conversa- tion on the campus since. Not since football games began to be played be tween the Baptists and Christians has Elon accoTuplished the feat of holding this strong oi>ponent scoreless. The Elon students appreciate the fine tribute Coach Baldwin paid their team following the game when he stated: •“The teams which play the fighting Christians this season may expect to find a different team from that which has represented Elon in the past,” and also the compliment paid their Coach Walker by the Deacon mentor when he praised him for building up a team with the fighting spirit that was displayed on Go're field against the Baptists. Every man on the Elon team looked good in that game, and played con sistently fine football.

Dr. Newman was hurt in an automobile accident sometime ago and has been kept from his office for about six weeks, two weeks of this time was spent in the Rainey hospital o'f Bur lington. ' Dr. Newman was hurt when his car turned completely over- while travel ing over the Greensboro-Liberty road. The road had just been covered with tar which caused the car to slip sud denly and throw from the car Dr. New man. who was driving, and his sister. Miss Lila Newman, Art teacher at Elon, and also Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Atkinson, Jr. Dr. Newman’s right hand was al most ruined and for a long time it was feared that several o'f the fingers would have to be taken off. However, all in dications are that the fingers will be almost normal after a few more weeks. Dr. Newman is one of the most popu lar dentists of Burlington. He gradu ated from the Atlanta Dental College in 1925. Since that time he has been practicing his profession in Burling ton. The Alamance County Artist Course for this year, which will be given in the Whitley Auditorium and under the auspices of the Music Lovers' Clubs of Elon, Burlington and Graham, is going to be the most exceptional ever. Artists of notable talent have been employed and the valuation of this course is too high to* be missed. The first concert will be given by the Schubert Male Quartet on October 31, 1927. Four excellent vocalists with unusually fine voices make up the per sonnel of this noted organization, as sisted by Miss Florence Reed, pianist and violinist. The programme is Mgh- class in every particular and will feature some of the numbers of the noted composer, Franz Schubert. Miss Repd, the charming and talented vio'lin- ist, will be heard to advantage in solo and obligato numbers. She is a bril liant artist of wide experience. Rudolph Reuter, pianist, will appear on November 14. 1927. This concert may be reckoned as one of the finest evenings of music during the course. Mr. Reuter plays superbly, producing real music and doing justice to true poetry. There is intellectual distinc tion and his imagination is delicate and rich. Those concerts following this will be given by Max Rosen, Marjorie Max well and Arthur Kraft. Among the recognized great artists of the world, Max Rosen is distinguish ed among the violinists by his posses sion, to an unusual degree, of the power to convey the emotional content of a great composition. From a background of sincere and convincing musicianship, reinforced by a brilliant and secure technique, Max Rosen projects and in dividual emotional appeal which rend ers his art as convincing and enjoyable to the laymen as to the most accom plish musician. Marjorie Alaxwell, an American Prima Donna, has natural gifts and musical ability that have given her the (Continued on Page 4) BURLINGTUN ROTARIANS ENTERTAIN ELON ROTARY AiS AT ALAMANCE HOTEL PHI PSI CLI SHAPING INTO BEST ANNUAL IN YEARS Elon College.—The Phipsicli, Elon’s college annual, is shaping into' what is believed to be one of the best annuals ever turned out by this school.

Rotarian Sharpe made an inspiring talk on Elon, taking as his subject, “What Elon Means to Alamance.” He traced the growth of Elon, and paid a beautiful tribute to' both the college and our president. Our hearts were stirred to the depths when the last words of his speech marked the close of the eve ning’s entertainment. It was indeed a rare privilege to attend this banquet, for which we who were present feel grateful to our Burlington friends. CHORAL SOCIETY BEGINS. PRACTICE ON MESSIAH Elon’s Annual Christmas Event.

SOCIETY HALL OF ELON HAS MOST BEAUTIFUL EljUIPMEKI IN SCHOOL The Spirit and Enthusiasm of Each Meeting Is Noticeable. Alumni Are Loyal Supporters of Their Alma Mater. Elon College.—The Society Hall of Elon College has been wonderfully im proved through donation of a hundred beautifully upholstered chairs. The Aiunini of this institution, through the efforts of our field secretary, Mr. George D. Colclough, are greatly responsible. for this most needed and benev'^olent gift. Furniture for the Society Hall has been needed badly since the fire and the gift is most timely. These chairs are most comfortable and luxurious, making it a pleasure to go to society, in order to" get to sit and rest in them. Each chair will have a name plate plac ed upon it. to signify its donor, whether it be an individual or some organiza tion on the hill. The atmosphere and spirit of each society has greatly changed since this wonderful donation has been received. It has added impressiveness and dignity to the hall, and has already been the cause of better work among the dif ferent so’cieties. PRESIDENT SUSIE ELDER SPONSORS Y.W.G. A. PICNIC Girls Enjoy First “Y” Outing. Swixu- ming and Eating “Hot Dogs” Are Principal Features. DR. ATKINSON DELIVERS THE LECTURES ON MISSIONS Is a Forceful and Inspiring Speaker. Methods arid Results of Christian Work Was Embodied in His Texts. “Missions,” the general subject of a series of three lectures given by Dr. J O. Atkinson, General Mission Secre tary of the Southern Christian Conven tion, has been the message to the Elon College students at their church and chapel services this week. Dr. Atkin son began his lectures on this subject Sunday morning, choosing as his text for that message, “The Word Made Flesh,” and continued with a lecture at the chapel service Monday and Tues day. On Monday Dr. Atkinson spoke of (Continued on Page 3) A bunch of happy girls met in front of West Dormitory Tuesday afternoon, September twentieth, at four o^'clock. Several yells were given and then the crowd moved off in a long line. *The girls were leaving for the first Y. W. C. A. picnic of the year. The line moved up the highway and over a fine ccmntry road to a splendid picniciMg ground, Moonelon. It is not often that the girls get to go to Moonelon, so they made the best use of their opportunities. Dean Savage plunged into the pool and yelled, “Come on in; the water’s fine!” Soon the pool was filled with laughing, bobbing, heads. Races across the pool and games in the water furnished lots of fun to those engaging in them and to the spectators. After a time the water lost some of its appeal, for up on the hill girls had been having fun gathering wood for a bon-fire. Already the coffee was on, and soon “eats” would be ready. After a few minutes the scene shift ed, and again the girls lined up. Miss Savage led the line this time by a table where both hands, and sometimes a pocket or two were filled. Races in the pool gave way to seeing who" could eat the most “hot dogs.” No one knows who won, but every one was ready to come home in time for the pep meet ing. This is the first of a number of “good times” that the Y. W. C. A. plans to sponsor this year. Reverend J. F. Apple, ’17, is preach ing and teaching in this community. Miss Mary D. Atkinson, ’20, is at Orlando, Florida. Miss Atkinson is connected with the Music Department of the high school in that city. Prof. E. W. Auman, ’27, is principal of a Junior high school near Dunn, N. 0.
