September 27, 1929 MAROON AND GOLD Page Three Una &p©inr^®: With Charlie Roberts HAED LUCK, WATSON! Ural Watson, one of Elou’s regular tackles, who liails from the Hoosier state of Indiana, had the misfortimo to niisjiKljje the liamniering power of his left hand and the two middle fingers OTi that hand wore broken in Davidson gridiron encounter last Saturday. The fingers were broken on the second play after the tirst half, hut Watson played almost to the end of the game in this condition. This signifies the kind of courage, grit, and fortitude of which a real football player is made up. Ural surely showed his ganieness and de serves a lr;t of credit. This injury will piobably keep him out of the line-up the rejuainder of the season and wHll no doubt weaken the strength of oiir line to some degree. We all wish for \ou, Watson, that the old left paw will mend quickly, and that you will be back in the harness before the season comes to its close on Thanksgiving eve ning up at Hickory, X. C. “SUG” MERRITT BACK ON HILL “Sug’’ ]\Eerritt, one of our regular guards of last year’s team is back in the Elon camp and has been looking good in the scrimmages this week out on Comer Field. He is running in Wat son’s place, as WatS'on was forced out of the line-up fox the remainder of the season with a broken left hand. Mer ritt’s appearance makes things look brighter from a football standpoint. Merritt bad a bad shoulder last year but still pla)'ed a good game. He should be a great help to Coach Walker this year. Get in there, “Sug. DAVIDSON TAKEN BY SURPRISE Davidson College, one of the “Big Five” in the Tar Heel state, w’as al most upset and was treated quite a bit more roughly than they had anticipated by a member of the ‘‘Little Six,’ namely Elon. The Elon football team journed up to Richardson field, the enemy’s own stamping grounds, and gave the Davidsonians all the worry and troTjble they needed for one day. Pete Williams, Elon’s 190 pounds of fight—in fact “Fite” seems to be Pete’s middle name—was the big star 01 the game. He outshone by far each ef the other 21 men on the field. He crashed the right side of the Wildcats’ line time after time for substantial gains; he threw passes with deadly ac curacy; and backed up the line as few can do. He broke through the line time and again to throw the Davidson ball carrier for a loss before the afore mentioned 'ball toter could advance over a step or two on his w^ould-be end run or off -tackle play. Bufc don’t think that Pete was the whole show at all, for all the boys played a good game of football from start to finish. The Elon secondary defense was. exceptionally gcod, each of the backfield men play ing a jam-up brand of football. George Kelly’s tackling was a bright light in the Elon defense during the first half, the half-pint halfback making tackle after tackle just behind the scrimmage line. Juho Waggoner, the team’s one and only red-head, tackled exceptional ly well when he went down under punts, bringing the Davidson punt-receiver to the ground almost in his tracks several times. Zac Walker was running the team very effectively and well from his pceition at quarterback. He had the Davidson play analyzers acting the role of second guessers all afternoon. Paul ''^aggoner playing at right end w^ith a badly-sprained ankle, played a nice game, catching a long pass from Pete and almost getting away for a touch down. He reached high and hauled the pass out of the ozone and out of tw^o Wildcats’ arms. It took the ball ■within striking distance of the David son goal line and made possible the touchdow’n w'hich carne a few moments later when Pete tossed the pigskin to brother ,Tabo across the goal line for the first six points that an Elon foot ball eleven has ever scored on a David son pigskin totin’ assemblage. David- 80T had already scored a touchdown and kicked goal. Thus the score was 7-6 as Elon’s attempt to put the ball between the cross bars was blocked. This one point was the shaky margin by which Davidson led our Fightin’ Christians as the whistle blew at the half. This fact or the wrath of the Wildcat mentor between halves caused the Red and Black team to come back strong in the third quarter to score two' touchdowns and kick one goal to take the lead at 20-6, but in the fourth period the Elonites again held them on an equal footing, holding them score less. The exliibition put up by the foot ball team was a surprise to even the most optimistic supporters of the ^Maroon and Gold. And now every one looking toward the future and won dering if Elon will be able to take l;e measure of the Catawba Indians next Saturday and the other little six foes to be encountered during the year. Elon has a splendid chance to drag down the little six championship this year, and all the football boys are go ing to be fighting, fighting, fighting “to do that little thing.” So let's all sup port the team to the utmost and help win the muchly-coveted first place hon f.rs in the Little Six of North Carolina. We have the best chance in years to accomplish this end. We don’t want to take the welcome mat from the door w)>en ojiportunity is knocking. Let go back! Make all the teams that we encounter take the small end of the horn at the end of the rest of our games. Those Maroon jersies and stock ings may come out on top of the little six scramble this year. Things are surely looking rosy now. The Lenoir P.hyno paper says it is between Elon, Guilford and Lenoir-Rhyne. Only one can win. Let’s be that one.
