NUMBER SIX
Elon Opens Conference Season Programs Are Planned
In Game With Lenoir-Rhyne For Educational Week
Meet Bears Today At Hickory to
Start Defense of Loop of
Loop Crown
^ Elon’s Christians who set sail
X on tlie turbulent North State sea
today in defense of their 19 34
crown, must face Lenoir-Rhyne,
Catawba and Guilford on succes-
•' sive weetc-ends and the wallcermen
will be watched with keen inter
est. A victory .over the Bears to
day will f.end the Christians and
the Indians together on November
J 5, with perfect conference rec
ords and the outcome will prob
ably decide the 1935 champs. .
Mindful of Elon’s feat of knock
ing the Bears out of a possible tie
for the North ^tate Conference
last year, the powerful Christians,
will journey to Hickory, Friday,
with the hope of again upsetting
the Bears, who are now in a tie
for the Conference leadership.
Victorious in the majority of
outside games to date, the Elon
Christians heve not tested their-
strength within the North State
loop in defense of the champion
ship won last season, and compara
tive scores give the two teams an
almost equal rating.
Elon trimmed the Duke "B”
team 13 to 0 and the Bears de
feated the same team 19 to 6.
Lenoir-Rihyne won over Naval
Apprentice 27 to 7 and Elon
bowled over the Virginians 20 to
0.
Sport critics along with a large
number of fans, are favoring the
Chrsitians force over the Bears
of Lenoir-Rhyne, in today’s con
test. But if the Walkemen intend
to overcome the daughty gridders
^ of Leuoir-Rhyne they mu»it sur
mount the powerful defense that
•a**"'*' "n nrw o^)ao^iner staff hue
moulded. The IJemon Bears will |
y be strong against line smashes-
and have devised a system ti' halt
the aerial attack of the Walker-
machine.
A bit of gloom has been casted
over the home camp due to the
serious ailment of Captain Trop-(
poli; A1 Mastra’s shoulder; and
Fred Kraury’s knee injury.
Much hope is being placed on
the athletes of the triple-threat
back, Webb Newsome, along with
Stalling, Abbitt and blocking back,
Joe Caruso. The linesmen being
led by Rudy Walser, Jim Day and
Hartsell.
Lenoir Rhyne have some great
linemen in Brumgarner, end; R-
Brown, Center; Sandes, guard.
The Bears also have the speediest
back the school has ever had in
Amendola and Sigmon.
Elon has fallen down badly in
the past games on their blocldng
and running game. Their show
ing in practices this week has been
better and they are hoping to hit
their stride again, against Lenoir-
Rhyne today.
In summing up the game today
at Hickory will not only mark
the first Conference game of the j
season for Elon, but will bring
to the fore the potential powers _

best judge of a suitable name.
Just think what a big kick you

that their efforts are appreciated
enough to have a couple of you
spend a little time to help tliem

Concern For The Health
Of Bonzo, Campus Mascot
Friends of Bonzo have been
grieved to hear of his illness. Af
ter much consultation among the
veterinaries in Burlington, ^jis
trouble has been declared dropsy.
(A president of our great nation
died with similar ailments, but
I can’t recall which one—so
what?)
Bonzo has (if Bonzo has gone
to his reward before this so-call
ed newspaper has come out, please
use past tense in the following) ,
been a respected citizen of Elon -
since the arrival of Dr. Smith a |
few years ago. I think all will j
agree that he has none of the,
vices of a citizen. I have failed |
to see him standing in front of ^
the local drug store arguing over
the world series, the present
Roosevelt administration, or have
I heat'd him condemn the modern
generation (an admirable virtue
at his age.) Not that he doesn't
have his opinions of the college
student; quite the contrary. I
know for a fact that he ceased
the flow of sweet-nothings into
the ears of a certain popular
freshman girl, having come upon
her and her momentary admirer
in a discreet corner of the cam
pus. The boy was heard to say
later that Bonzo completely dis
armed him for some time. Bonzo
knows the value of silence, som‘e-
thing few ever learn. He is a
familiar figure on the campus,
and his speedy recovery is hoped
for.
P. S. I didn’t find out about his
liver.

Games In Y. M., And Y. W.
C. A. Provide Entertainment
For Students And Faculty
There seems to be something
that always holds the interest of
the students at Elon. At the early
part of the semester, the students
were occupied by their studies to
such an extent that the library
seemed always crowded. The
novelty soon wore off, and the
l&tuidents turned toward a more
interesting pastime. The sport of
pitching horse shoes came into
tlie spotlight for a few w'ceks,
but gradually this died out; now
the campus has been swept by
the '‘cra'/e’ of ‘Ping Pong’> and
Croquinole.
The Y. M, C. A. and Y. W. C.
A. have been supplied with three
tables of ping pong, one game of
chess and four Croquinole boards.
These games have captured the
fancy of the entire student body.
and crowds are gathered at all
times of the day in the Y. M. or
Y. W., either to watch the skill
of other players or to await their
turn in playing.
The wide appeal and populari
ty of these games is shown not
only by the crowd® of students
that play, but by the fact tiiat
even some professors have taken
ping pong up as a means of re
creation. Some of the best play
ers among the students admit that
the “profs” are good opponents.
Other games will be introduced
in the near future in order that
there may be gamse to appeal to
all students, and there is no
doubt that the Y. M. and Y. W.
will continue to be among the
most popular centres on the cam
pus.
