Frosli Win Class Championship
The Mighty Freshmen Are
Crowned Champs.
The inter-i-lass basketball tournament
which was played off while the varsity
was on its Vir^inia-Maryland tour, pre
sented some closely contested games,
and also brought to light several stars
of varsity calibre.
The opening battle between the Jun
iors and Freshmen was finally annexed
by the latter after a real scrap. The
score stood 19-14 w’hen the timer’s
whistle ended hostilities for the day.
Grifftn of tlie Freshies led his team^s
attack with 10 points in tliis engage
ment with K. Dofflemver of the losers
GIRLS’ GYM SEES SERVICE
Girls Start Basketball Practice.
“We’ll have a team yet,” say the
girls, and if more proof of this is need
ed, a visit to the girls’ gymn would
certainly settle the question. Not only
teams, but good ones is their aim, and
from the material exhibited by the
Freshman class we know that the other
classes must ‘‘put out” their best work
to offer sufficient competition.
Last year we had three class games,
the final one of which was pidyed in
the boys’ gym. Wo are hoping to re
peat that refreshing bit of sport this
showing his toam-mates the way with ^ season, with perhaps added games. As
vet the class teams have not been or-
six markers beside his name.
In the second game, w'hicli brought the
Seniors and Sophomores together, the
latter aggregation emerged victorious
after another hard fought setto. For
the Sophomores Abernathy and C. D.
Johnston looked tlie best while Register
and Harrington played stellar ball for
the losing Seniors.
The third round l)rought togther the
Junior anil Soph teams. The game was
hotly contested until the half with the
Juniors holding nn 8-6 edge at that
time. In the second half, however, the
Juniors’ big gun got into action and
did overtime duty in running their
score to 32 points while the Sophies
were basketing only 3 markers to bring
their total to 11. In this game the
victors were led by Roberts with a 16
point total for his day’s work, and by
Williams who zipped the net 4 times
with his long shots for a total of 8
l)oints. Clark and Peoples played the
best ball for the losers.
Gordon, Freshman guard, led his team
of Freshies to a 31-12 victory over the
Seniors as he totaled 10 points. The
Seniors’ scoring was well divided in
this game with Register, Harrington,
and F. Johnson playing the best games
on the floor.
With the Freshmen all primed to sew
up the championship with a victory
over the lowly SophomoreS, they falter
ed and lost a well-played game by an
18-14 score. C. D. Johnston and Clark
showed the way in defeating the here
tofore unbeaten team by virtue of their
5 and 6 garnered points respectively,
while Oscar Dofflemyer led the Fresh
men in their attempt to stave off de
feat, his attempts at goal shooting net
ting him 5 points.
The Junior and Senior teams played
on Wednesday afternoon, and the Seni
ors did the unexpected, trouncing the
Juniors. The Seniors swung into ac
tion in the first quarter and scored the
grand total of 12 points before the Jun
iors could find the basket. In the sec
ond half the Juniors came back strong,
with Williams and Roberts scoring
seven points before the Seniors could
get going. The final score was Seniors
33, Juniors 11. This game decided who
was to play the Freshmen for the
championship.
At eight o’clock the gymn was pack
ed to witness the mighty struggle be
tween brain and brute strength. The
first few minutes found Harrington and
Lowerv going strong, but soon the Sen
iors cracked from the strain of playing
the Juniors in the afternoon. The
Freshmen took the lead and were never
headed again. Gordon and Kimball
showed up well for the Freshmen, while
Harrington and Johnson looked best for
the Seniors. It was a hard fought game
from the start and by far the most in
teresting game of the series. When the
final whistle blew the Freshmen were
leading by 27-20. This game ended the
series, and the Freshmen are crowned
class champions.
Clio Literary Society
Some students may think the society is
dead or merely pxistinj;. The Clio has
had a good record, and it is up to the
members in it now, to make the society
what it is. Our society is small in num
ber. but jrreat in mind and capable of
dointr jroofl work, if we will. I'he society
cannot function and do its best without
the loyal support of each member.
Someone may ask, what is the society
for? To train young men in oral and
public speaking. The future lies before
you youns men, and while you are in
college, lets take all the opportunities
available, and do our best in promoting
spirit on the campus. Lets be loyal
C'lios. and keep the old society spirit up.
In days to come we can look back and
see what a good record we made while
in society in college.
Come on loyal Clios and do yonr best
and )>art.

GYM FOR BOXING
NEAR COMPLETION
Wrestling and Boxing Introduced.
In anoth«*r week the gymnasium in the
basement of the North Dormitory will be
ready to swing into full service. The
work on it has beMi lu’ogressing rapidly
.since examinations, and already many of
the students ha\e been taking advantage
of the oi>portunity to limber up their
muscles and keep in “trim” so as to do
justice to the “feeds” they receive at the
“C’lub" and the “Hash House.”
.\t present it looks as if the classes for
boxing and wrestling will be full. Al
though we are handicapped by not having
all the necessary equipment, many of the
boys are donating enough material so that
in the near future we shall have a well-
equipped gymnasium. This work is open
to all students of Elon. aiid it is hoped
they will take advantage of their oppor
tunity not only by participating in these
activities but by contributing something
that \^■ll helji make it complete.
It is hoped by those in charge that an
exhibition of boxing and wre.stling may
be given in the Collegi' (lymnasium in the
nertr future so that the students of Elon
College will know just whnt is meant by
the ai’t of “scrambled ears” and “crushed
toes.”
If there is enough interest shown in
other sports a hand-ball court will be
marked off, tumbling and acrobatic work
will be introduced, along with pyramid
building and apparatus work. If all plan.s
are reached there will be no excuse for
any Elon College student not being able
to take some form of exercise every day.

FACULTY VOTES TO
GIVE SPRING HOLIDAYS
(Continued from Page I)
introduction of Spring Holidays and most
of them have already begun planning
trip home. A few may use it for work,
but the larger majority plan to work
hard until April Fool’s Day and then
have a week’s good time before entering
whole-heartedly into the last lap of the
semester’s work. Several yo\»ng men who
live two or three hundred miles from
the College are contemplating using that
week for visiting their home sections in
an attempt to line up work for the sum
mer months.
