MCE roos Maroon and Gold SAnjRDAY. JANUABY W. 1M9 Whoopee! Girls! Eton Has the Ball By Buddy Hayden Half of my New Year R^?soli’- tir-ns are already shot and the re- n-aming few will soon leave me High or Dry on the shelf. A birdie tells rre the whole staff nearlv passed out with the old year and this edition in just one big hang over. Original or Not All colleges, it would seem, are row offering the new and inter- Ft'ng courses in culture called ‘"o-A-ard The Cultivation of a Cuter Correspondence”. Through lectures and the more practical pss.rticipaticn in the sport, the young co-ed is taught how to handle the “Absence makes the >"eart gi*cw fonder problem" and the interested male is shown tlie o-^rrect method of coping with the ‘‘When the Cap'n's away the Mrs. r.jll play situation." Sample Letter Whitley received a letter from a Missourian lass named ‘Coffee’ It contained only a dash ot cof fee-and a bit of an advertisement v'hich rted “At least you could say hello.” Cute? If this method proves popular I’m gonna get a letter off to “Penny” — or maybe Red Xickels in a hurrj'. — Oth^r letters and cards shaped like tomhstones saying “Here lies etc.” are well known. Some of the les ser known methods of thi boys, have them using, elongated tissue £nr their epistles. Even eggs, corn husks, and human backs have come in for their share of carry ing the mail. But the funniest “mail must go through”, ga^-,hap pened in our own dining,ba^ last year. One boy, in a jocCilar mood, pried open a biscuit, wrctt^ pies- sage of cheer to a waiting world, sealed tlie note in the hardened dough, and passed ,the ' plate along. Three da\^s later he livf-d to eat his words. — Be that as' it iray — ugh. , . - : RAMBLING [CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3] I went over to the gym just before the classes were scheduled 0 get under way and was hanging around observing a few early ar- ■vals shooting goals. Several of the girls took seme awful spills on whe floor, thanks to Evelyn Holmes, who was taking advantage oi ome of the smaller girls, but they didn’t seem to mind and went igh; on having their fun. Mrs. Hendrickson sounded her whisile foi )ie roll cail and the girls responded immediately. They lined up in 1 perfectly straight line with a sort of military atmosphere and inswered to the roll call. Calesthenics were then given by Mrs. Hendrickscn and Evelyi olmcs, her very capable assistant. After the limbering up exer* •ises, basketball was played with every member of the class takin part. The girls, except for a little roughness, indicated by their pla; 'hat they had learned the game thoroughly and some of them looked -xceptionally good. Especially did Margaret Caroll. Ruth Andersen -lb Armfield, Mary Ruth McDade. Evelyn Lilley. Virgin a Thomas ■'an Daughtery, Imogene Lackey and many others too numerous to .'uention, looked good. They possess natural ability, plus the eager- less to play and the love of the game. It suddenly dawned upon me, while I was watching the clas-= ;iat an opportunity and.a possibility for a girls inter-collegiate bas ketball team existed right here. Elon couid rank high in the girJs pCii world if an inter-collegiate was formed. Knowing a few wo- nen, who are sports authorities, I know that this is impossible. Their eactions and personal opinions are anything but favorable toward !\e inter-collegiate setup. The most impressive thing about my visit was the love, ad- ii.iration and respect that the girls have for Mrs. Hendrickson. The) _ave her their best attention and did the things she asked them to the best of their ability. Although confronted with many obstacles :^d problems. Mrs. Hendrickson, treats them all-alike witb-no-tavorr i^oing to any certain one. ( Continued from page 3.) Barnett. This year’s team is being cap tained by J. Wellington Saecker, veteran flankman. Saecker is a senior and comes from Ports mouth, Virginia. HIGH POJNT TO PLAY CHKISTL4NS Currin Hay DOSTONIAN SHOE' . .

At the time this was written the Yow coached aggregation, from High Point, had yet to meet defeat. They had won ten straight games and are well on e way to another loop crown. Elon and High Point have fought it out for the North State Conference championship these five years with Lenoir Rhyne coming :n only.once for her share of the title. Last year the Panthers com pletely outplayed the Christians and annexed the conference title The two years previous was dominated by Elon alone as they dis- p>ayed a superior brand of ball throughout the league. This .vear as tnings have •stacked so far. it looks like a close race with Appalachian. Elon and Higlr ,Point in the running. PANTHERS A WELL BALANCED OUTFIT The Panther hoys will have the reach on the Elonit^s with .‘'heir two timbertoppers, Hampton and Keene. Hampton, the Pan-' fher Captain, being the smaller as he is only six feet and se^'en inches! ^>bort. His redheaded mate., Keene, requires tw’o tape measures and i only sticks up six feet and ten inches into the stratosphere.
