FOOTBAI.L
Th« Christian's ended their
football seaso'n on ThaJiksgiTiaTg day I
bv a-'SS to 6 win over tlie liCnoir-
Eliyn'e Bears. This game was one of
the most thrilling of tla-e season ^for tho .
Christians. The Bears 'woti the toss and
chose to receive. Captain HapBy kick-
■ ed to DeHines. DeHines Teittrned tho
ball and was downed on the 30 yard
line. A few minutes Hater saw Elon ^
with the ball. Foiir minutes later Elon
had scored a touchdo-wn. The first
toachdown was a rf-snTt of 'VVilliams
passing to Ziegler who earned the ball
to the 3 yard line, from which point
■Williams went throxigli tlie line for the
score.
Lenoir-Rhyne chose to receive anti
were forced to piint. 'Walker received
the pinit and returned it to' the 40 yard
line. From this point only five plays
were needed to pTi't the brill over. A
pass was responsible for 35 yards of
this distance, WiTliams carrying the
ball thruogh the li-ne for the remaining
ten Yards. Wtdker -made the extra
point.
The Bear’s only toutdidown came af
ter they got a breaks in their
favor. A fumbl’e gave the Bears pos
session of the b^H oil Elon’s 30 yard
line. They wtre 'htld for downs on
their attempts to :advancej but were
able to break through and blooU
Smith’s punt. Steelman blocked the
punt and Richi-e ■fell upon it after it
had rolled acras's the goal line. Tho
Christians scored t^’o other touchdown?:
ill the seco-nd qntn*tfr whi-ch came from
the result of long passes from Walker
and Williams tt. &^ler. In the sec
ond half the Elom men were able to go
through the 1et3«s rift -will. A fourti;
touchdown came in the final quarter. A ]
series of line plunges by Williams
brought the ball within a short distance
of the goal, and a pass from Walker
to Williams put it ever. Newman was
robbed of a goal as a result of his team
being offside.
For the Christians Williams was the
star, carrying the ball for line plunges
and receiving long passes. Walker not
only carried the ball for good gains biu
showed up well in running the team.
The Christians showed excellent team
work. Latham also made some nice
gains with the ball. Ziegler exhibited
his uncanty ability at snatching passes
from the air. In the line Efird and
Smith were outstanding with Merrit
and Captain Ti-ardy playing well. From
statistics of the game we find that Elon
made 18 first downs to Lenoir-Rhyne’s
12. Elon completed nine out of 12
passes for a total of 161 yards, while
I the Bears were able to make only seven
; good out of IS tries for a total of 123
yards arid kad three intercepted,

BASKETBALL
Elon basketball prospects seem un
usually bright this year although the
majority of last year’s men will not be
seen on the floor. The only old men to
play this year are; Walker, Briggs,
Caddell, and Sims. Coach Walker prov
ed his ability in developing a good
team from new material last year, and
we feel sure that with a wealth c/£
good material he should produce a team
that will make a mark for itself dur
ing the coming season.
The basketball schedule is fast being
completed, and with the end of the
football season we may begin anticipat
ing a winter of enjoyable sports.
The prospective candidates are Sims,
Briggs, Paul Caddell, Watson, Rollins.
Dick Caddell, Webster, Doster, Hinton,
Lewis Walker York, Parker, Fred Cad
dell, and possibly Latham.

It certainly 1-ooked good to see so
many of the Alumni here for the Home
Coming Day (Thanksgiving). It has
been a long time since so many of onr
former students and graduates were
here together.
It seems to me that it would be a
good thing to set aside some day in f e
year for Home Coming. This could be
;a SET date or could be held every
year at the most convenient time. At
any rate we should put forth more ef
fort toward getting together and^ re
newing friendships. Any suggestion--
you have to make will be appreciated.
It seemed that our football boys
knew tihat some former Elon stars were
on the«ide line. I don’t think there is
any doubt that our boys played their
best gam« of tlie season. They should
have. A CTOwd of interested alumni
watching them: turkey dinner awaiting
them; and the last game of the sea
son. They certainly let us know that
they could play football, and Cocah
W'alker has proven that he can take a
little material and make a successful
team out of it. We predict a much bet
ter year in football for 1929. Why
shouldn’t it be? We are losing but
three ot four of this team.
