The second ’ touchdown' was set up by a 63 yard punt return by Charles HarreU who Was pulled down from behind by Dave Me-' Clenny. Elon did hold, the Hickorymen for no gain on four tries from the eight yard iine in. the first period, but the Christians weakened in the sec ond half and the result was anoth er blot on the. seasons record.

Ex- Basketball Squad Begins Workouts spots in Elon football history. The Christians p^yed an inspired game in winning 17-7 and, surprised all the experts who had made Er.sk.ine, a top-heavy favorite. The following weeks game was not, a bad game, although High Point won 14-7,- and was, closely played throughout. Ac tually the ,game might have been a tie but for an. official’s decision. If you will, remember, Elon started marching via the aerial route in the fading . minutes pf the contest. A long pass was completed tp Bobby Harris down about the 3 ;»rd line and time remained for three more plays. We feel sure the Christians would have pushed tiie ball.,acros§-,-i but!—the play was called bac;k ,i«d Elon was penalized for having 12 men on t^e field. We, have spoken to several people wl^o ought to know and they swpar that the ineligible man was off the field in time. This is just one man’s opinion but we charge the loss to High Point ta an officials blunder.. As far as this: corner, is concerned, we would have tied, the game. Daily basketball practice is being held each afternoon at four o’clock in an effort to get men in shape for the opening game on December 8th with the University of North Caro lina. A Jayvee team Is doubtful in that there just isn’t sufficiant gymnasium time for such a team to practice and it is now unlikely that a regular jayvee schedule will be made this vear. With the building of the new gymnasium, there will be room and time for such a team. The varsity however has a fine 22 game sched ule planed. Height has proved to be the important thing in winning North State games and such big men out for the team as, Yost, Kaanp- man. Andrews and Clark will be helpful to the Christian cause. In addition three fine players, now busy with football will be back, Ed Drew, Lou Savini and Jim Huyett. All were Varsity men last year. John Clayton voted last year’s most val uable player is also back and will undoubedly be the playmaker for the squad. Chuck Lentz and Jack Russell who also were members ot last year’s varsity are also still in practice are Jr. Thompson, William Randell and a large number of new d'reshtnan students who appear to be very experienced. Some forty or fifty men are out for the squad with more expected. INTRA-MURAL champs football .i'.X.u4 Aj,?' fl'**#*?.'* O I94T Ik C-C Co. .’4 a« fi-' V,. J,rr 9d! w. L, T. Pet.

In the semi-finals, Alphi Pi was forced to forfeit to the Lodgers when they could not field a team and East defeated South in a 7-0 thrUl- er. Monday, the squirrels from th&. Lodge defeated East 7-0 on a sec ond quarter pass from Ed Ellis to Delmar Brown. The fray was close all the way, with East resting on Oak L«dge 1 yard stripe as the final whistle blew. At pres tune, the aU important second game was being played at the College under the Ughts and the Lodgers were favored to take ;n two straight. the crown Elon appteared the better team in the first half, but in the second half High Point started running oui ends and that was the story. But the Christians put up a fine battle al though trailing in score and yardage and we think our club is just as good as High Point. Actually there seems little choice between Elon, Lenoir-Rhyne and High Point. They are all good small college teams and seem about equal in strength. Sum- mingS up the North State Confer ence; Catawba is a super-team the ’class of small colleges. Appalachian s the number two team in the loop, very strong. Then come the four teams which we classify as good and all about equal. Panthers, Quak ers,. Bears and Christians. Western Carolina is almost in the same cat egory while the two week sisters of the conference are E. C. T. C. jnd Atlantic Christian. Poor Atlantic hasn’t won a game yet. You cannot go by compartive scores, thats a cinch. Erskine slams Guil ford 19-0, Guilford beats High Point 27-7, we lose to High Point 14-7. That maks Erskine appear much strongei chan old “Elo,” so we blast the South Carolinians 17-7. The Erskine team rates almost up with Cataw ba and they went away calling Elon the finest club around. Yet we have won only four and lost five. Apparently, in this class of ball, teams are up for one game and down for another. Elon was evi dently down in the game at Hickory and others. The 13-0 Lenoir-Rhyne score was the result. ) iWe wish to welcpme several new men to the Maroon and Gold Sports staff. Namely; Rickey Siloc, Rocco Sico and Rxcz Syrzs. They will all assist Rockey Sileo. If you have no ticed the by-lines lately you’ll know what all that gibberish means. Bur- ;,i.gti)n High team was really great n 19-6 wla over Greensboro, Thurs day, which of course is Thanks giving, is the big Guilford game. UlUord wants to beat Elon bad. This turkey game will probably be best of the season, it certainly was last year when the two teams played a thrilling 14-14 tie. At random; Jim Huyett has scored 25 points so far this year for Elon, the Greensboro statistics being in correct. He has two touchdowns, two field goals and seven extra points. As far as most people are concernea it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Babby Harris h^ scored only once this year as compared with last season’s 36 points, but to my way of thinking he’s playing better ball year, setting iip his blocks bet ter and really being in there. Lou Savini and Pete Marshbum looked strong two Saturdays ago and most j of the linemen turned in a good per- game is a Geek—Chick ens in the closet! Joe Dunn, ath letic ,as all .getout, is running wild in that fifth-grade league with a certain .red-head- We like to get 4 lot of people .in this column but we can’t know everybpdy. so any^ thing you tell us on the campus about anyone concerning sports well we’ll print it if we possibly can,“80 go ahead-tell me the news. t^aDpr 'says he has an invention that will scare the Russians and make ‘ em" leave us alone. Pappy would make a phonograph record of Hen ley, Mobley Snd Gaines all shut up iri’l room telling of their adventures. The resultant' record would be dropped on the Kremlin and the noise would scare the Russians up into their Sibenan salt mine. Now fellers, blame Pappy^ for that, not me. Pamphlet dropping was fine, but we think destruction a little overdone. Intramural basketball will eally have some fip%. ball players. We have been told that lack of gymnasium tijne to practice and play makes a J. V. -schedule imposlble. So the Intramural league will real ly be Hflt. and methinks its more fun anyway. Oak Lodge and I. T K. are really stacked this year from what we* hear and the scoop is that In they: are the favorates. In the m- raLral football league East really S hot in tw "" r L Cir Actually ^ tM “J to tte eague are to be commended for playing hard and for the most part; clean. P. Reed’s golf team still needs new blood, see him now. Chink Spivy^s Gibsonville High team pul on a good game the other night losing to Mebane, 19-13. Remember anything you’d like to see in this column (not slanderous or that can hurt) tell us and we’ll put it in black and white. Thanks for listen ing. P. S. BurUngton High School draws 4,000 for an unimportant game at Elon Stadium, and upwards of 7,00a for important games such as the Greensboro affair. What do our Christians do? When Elon plays a home game, we are usually lucky to ge 1,000 fans. Yet Burlington just four miles away, has a big popula tion just thirsting for entertainment. Crowds of 5 and 6 thousand at Bur lington Bee Baseball games this sum mer prove that. Is it because Elon's football record is not too isapressive. No — its the ridiculous admission price. It costs $2,00 to see Elon play a football game. Cut that price down to $1.20, put placards advertising the games in the Burlington Stores and drive a car with a loud speak er about the town and well get some good crowds too.
