Dick Cassells addea the extra point to set Catawba ahead at 7 to 0. This pass by Swanner was hi> only play of the game. The teams went out for inter mission with the 7-0 count, but the Indians came back strong with two touchdowns in the second half. The second score came when Pete Stout ran 41 yards to pay dirt after the Elon defenders had ap parently trapped him for a loss. Early in the fourth quarter the Christians made a gallant bid for a comeback, but inopportune pen alties and several miscues by the Elonites stalled the Maroon and Gold bid on the Catawba twenty- tvco. Starting there in the waning minutes, the Indians drove down the field in leaps and bounds for Iheir final counter. Larry Gilder- sleeve sneaked across from the four in the final seconds for the TD that gave Catawba her 19 to 0 win. Pete Stout.

The little nations. Belgium. Hol land. Switzerland and the Scandi navian countries are progressing well, but they are too small to dominate Europe. Britain has lit- t'e future and France is rapidly degenerating. The glory of Spain. Portugal and Italy is in the past. Turkey is progressive but too much of it is in Asia to influence Europe. The only nations left to domitiate Europe are Germany and Russia. People who suffered under German control tell me they still would prefer Germany to Russia. Europe is declining as Asia and Africa are rising. Of course Mrs. Sloan and I had a wide variety of extra experi ences. including visits with old friends. Among people we were ;glad to see were Nancy Keen in England, a former Elon teacher: in Holland the parents of Luuk Groot. a former Elon student: I other friends in the Black Forest (in Germany, in Switzerland and on ; the Kiviera in France.
