Barbe Battle in West Chester Today: IS ESSENTIAL TO WINj Well Rounded in Music Field Physical ConditioiiGood 'oac-he‘> Have Been Working llunl To Get Team Ready For (^nakerM TKAC’IIKKS ARK (JOOD Christians Are Anxious To Break Winning Column The Elon grldclers have been pre paring for their coming game with \w€8t Chester Teachers College In Phll- adf^lphia todivy. This will be the second time In two years that the two teams l ave met. Lost year Elon was defeat ed by them 9 to 6, after putting up a hf.rd fight and having the breaks against them. The Christians are anx- iuus for revenge this year and will be fighting all the way in an. effort to bieak into the winning column. Coach Wttlker and Asst. Coach. Fysal have criticized their team severly be cause of the showing against George ■Washington, last week. Although the team were playing out of their class, iha coaches were not entirely satisfied with the game because of poor defense tactics, and spotty attack. Hap Taylor Is back in hiis old guard position after remaining on the bench tor the past two weeks. Taylor is a good lineman and can sift through the cppofldu^ line as well. A1 Oattis has returned to the squad and has been working out with the t€«m. It is believed that his arm has healed enough to permit him to play today. Very little is known of the West Chester eleven. They were defeated bv Albright last Saturday 7 to 6, after leading them for three qtiarters, Al bright ecored. on a long pass. Al though Coach McKennlng has not nom inated his startir^ team, the W. C. T. C. lineup will be a veteran combination. From end to end the entire Teachers line will average close to 190 pounds, with every player a seasoned cam paigner. The Christians, even though playing out of their class did not show any- thln(^ impi-easlve in the George Wash liigtou G.ime. As a matter of fact their passing was weak, their power plays easily stopped, and their pass de fense was poor. Elon will be out weighed by ten pounds a man. The Teachers will av erage 185 pounds and the Christians 175. A lot of teef to spot any ball club. No doubt Coach Walker will start the same totim which started last week. This means the backfield will have Sl^elton at quarter, Caruso and Nacola at the half back posts, and Ab- titt at fullback. Lea and Bradley will hold down the wing positions, with Purst and Day taking care of the tackle situation. At the guard positions will be Maestro and Taylor and at the pivot spot, Capt. Rudy Walser or Israel. Winnings Of Our Team Depends .Much Tipon The Spirit Taken Uv Ti»« Student Body (M\ I- \U\ H SI PPORT Pictured above is J. T.

Library News Alexander Melklejohn has said that the success of college education mani fests itself in the student’s abUlty to Mfe books intelligently. One of the most important tasks of a oollege is to develop good reading habits and a real love for books among students. But it is not an easy task. Good books are like good friends; to have an appreciation and true love for them requires a constant and close as sociation with them. This takes time and the demands on a sttidents time are already many. Surely, most students of the upp>er level find it necessary to spend much time in the library, and even fresh men are required to do a lot of re serve book reading, but this Is not the way we find our most vauable friends. It shall be the purpose of this col- i;mn to Introduce to you a few worth- wliP.' ii’lends each week, or to interest you in some way to go In search for tnem for yourselves. “Come, my best friends, my books, and lead me on.” The Elon football team, after three loverses c.vi previous Saturdays, faces the stron^ West Chester eleven this attemoon at Philadelphia. We expect the Christians to do every thing In their power to win. In turn we are bound to aid them in every way to om^rge victorious. It Is an old aaage that a winning team Is easily supported. Many flock to the stand- iird of the winner. Human nature lb such that claiming the victors as fav- c*rites is easy, convenient, and satis fying. In other years the Christians iiave won the opening games of the season by Fcores of healthy margins. This year, as last, disappointment has so far greeted the hopes of the Elon • upporters. But, withal, tlie team in defeat has rocelved admirable support from the college student body. Such a spirit is Vkorthy of commendation. Only this veek I overheard a conversation In which the statement was made that the spirit of the Elon student body forced its team on to victory over the opposing team in question. There Is much truth in this statement. Perhaps Elon is doped to lose this afternoon. In the past, pre-game dope has been given a terrible upset. Let every student give the team his or her utmost support. Let the team know that we are behind, them to the man, with the Elon spirit Jo^ win."
