SOPHS WIN OVER FROSH IN CLASS GAMES The Sophs came from behind this af ternoon by turning back the strong Freshman quintet. The Sophs took an early lead w’hich the Freshmen were never able to overcome. The Sopho mores dazzled the Frosh with the whirl- w'ind ofiCense. Their short and snappy passes were too much for the Fresh men. At the half the Sophs were leading by the score of 17 to 9, but the second half opened with the Freshmen scoring three field goals to the Sophs one. The third quarter saw the Frosh trailing 20 to -24. Register was the outstanding player for the winners both on offense and defense. He led his team in scoring with eleven points. Walton also played a stellar game at center. The Freshmen showed a real fighting spirit at times, but the Sophs taking the lead at the beginning of the game proved too much for them. Parker was the outstanding man for the losers. He was also high scorer of the evening v/ith a total of thirteen points. Dicker son also played a stellar game at center and forward. This puts new life into the entire Sophomore team as it is the first game they have won in the contest. The Freshmen have won over both Sopho mores and Juniors.

PSIPHELIAN LITERARY SOCIETY HOLDS MEETING The Psiphelian Literary Society held its first regular meeting of the year Thursday night, January 31, 1929. There have been several call meet ings, but our regular meetings have been postponed on account of ball games and the revival last week. The Society w-as called together by the President and an extensive busi ness session was held. A program w^as not given since one had not been posted. It was decided tff discard all old programs and adopt new'' ones. The conimittee appointed at a call meeting to arrange the annual Easter program is working hard. CLIO LITERARY SOCIETY MEETS Tlie program w'as short, but of high caliber. Those appearing on it were: Mr. Delos Elder, who spoke on “The Value of a College Education,” and Mr. Benton, who spoke on “Why We Must Go to College.^ Each one pres ent enjoyed these gentlemen’s dis courses. They are to be commended for the material presented, and also for the diligence in preparing their respec tive speeches. Once moil', tl'c nioinbers of the so ciety liafl the privilege of discussing tlie progiam for February 22, 1929. This program promises to be a good one. The members who will participate in i^, are working hard so that the pro gram may lie a decided snccess. We feel confident that the public will enjoy this program thormighly, because it will he something entirely new. The members of the society have a surprise for those who attend. The Clify Literary Society takes great pleasure in extending a cordial invita tion to attend its annual entertain ment. Be sure to take advantage of this opportunity, because you will re gret it if you don't. We are certain that yon will be delightfully entertain ed, and that you will feel well repaid for your attendance. ELON BEGINS SPRING FOOTBALL Coach Walker has planned to open Spring football next mouth. Due to the fact that Elon has an abundance of material that can be developed by some practice, Walker has decided to arrange fox all w'ho can get Spring practice. The exact date for begin ning has not been announced as yet. Captain elect Smith is to have charge of the practice. Smith has been a stellar light on the Christian team in the past, and we are sure that he will prove fully capable of the task as coach. The men are show'^ing great interest in Spring training, and we can be as sured of a good number for practice. The fact that Elon has not had Spring practice heretofore should make it more interesting and helpful for our team. Walker, Kelly, Caddell, Watson, and Latham will be unable to report until after our basketball schedule is finished. With the opportunity for Spring prac tice our team should establish a better record in football next year. THE LADIES’ SHOPPING CENTER, BURLINGTON, N. C. hiirfinitcm, ■ M'.

All of the teams encountered this week have been playing a fast brand of ball and will give the Christians severe competition. Tlie team is con ceded a chance, however, in each of the conflicts, and is expected at least to break even on the week’s games. D is reported that Defiance is sending a fast combination of six-footers into the Southland. This team defeated the Elon team last year on the Defiance floor, 27-25. The Christians are hoping to avenge that defeat this year. m m Mebane Shoe Company BURLINGTON, N. C.

VAN CLEAVE ADDRESSES MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION MANAGEMENT CLASS VISITS MAY’S HOSIERY PLANTS The Ministerial Association met in regular session, Thursday evening at 7:30 P. M. The meeting was called to order by Ray N. Moses, President. Af ter a short business meeting, Mr. Moses introduced Professor Van Cleave wha gave an address that would be profit able to any one, and was particularly suitable for the Ministerial students. Taking for his subject “Limping Along’’ or ‘‘How long halt ye between two opinions?” (Kings 18:21), Pro'- fessor Van Cleave said in part: “Like the people of Elijah’s day we are too much inclined to simply limp along and have no convictions of our own. We i ave difficulty some times in knowing what to do, but it is our business to have some convictions of our own and to try to put across something that will enable people to live better. Doubt l as its place in life, but if we continue to doubt we will not get far in life. If our kno-K-ledge gives us good reason to doubt old theories then it is well enough to do so, provided we build something better based upon this knowledge. Some of our most im portant reformations have been based „pon doubt of old ideas. America probably never would have been dis covered had not somebody doubted the old theory that the world was flat, “We should strive to learn facts as a basis for motivation in life. And wlien learning, do so without bias. Ou the basis of the facts learned we must build convictions which are our own. These must be dynamic convictions which result in action. In spite of all difiieulties we must act upon our own conviction and strive to learn more and at all times be willing to use the best we have. “In conclusion, we can not wait for perfect knowledge but must unify our selves upon the best w-e know, launch out in the great task of changing hu- mau society, where it needs changing, act upon our convictions, and not simply “limp along.” A group of students in industrial management under the supervision of Professor Tower, made a trip to Bur lington this afternoon for the purpose of nLaking a study of the May hosiery plants. Mr. Brown Fogleman, an em ployee of this firm, showed us through the mill. He explained the different processes from the raw material to the finished product. All the members were much interested, and the trip was very enjoyable and helpful. This trip is a part of the requirements of the course in Industrial Management here, and is the first of several that will be made this semester. Prof. Tower, head of the Department of Economics and Business Administration, as w’ell as the students w’ho visited this concern, thor oughly apx>reciate Mr. May’s courtesy and kindness. We are also very much indebted to Mr. Fogleman for liis fine co-operation. New Arrivals —IN— Spring Footwear For Both LADIES AND MEN. The Season’s Newest Shades and Lasts.
