Kichnor Speaks At Music Meet Dr. Thomas Richner, a mem ber of the piano faculty of Teach ers' College at Columbia Univer sity, spoke and played for the Mu sic Education and Music Appre ciation classes here Monday even ing, September 30th. The next morning he was hon ored guest at a coffee hour, dur- iivg which he met the senior mu sic majors. These students then traveled with him to Greensboro for his day’s lecture before the North Carolina Piano Teachers’ Asociation. The second half offered as many thrills as did the firsl, for Coach Sid Varney's charges came out in the third quarter and began to rip the Guilford defense again on bull-like drives by Elon's All- State Bob Stauffenberg and the knife-like thruits of DelGais, Faust and McLean. Maidon continued to general smart attack on steady line thrusts 'and deceptive ball handling. Bob Stauffenberg hit for his second touchdown of the night and Elon's third score as he moved the Chris tian margin to a comfortable 19-7 lead. For a third time Kinsley’s kick missed the target, but it mat tered not at this time, i The final Christian score came in the late stages of the game when Joe DeGais was perfect to Bob McLean on another pitch-out pass, which carried for 16 yards and over the goal line. This time Kindey kicked good, and Elon held a commanding lead of 25 to 7. The fourth quarter was a quar ter of ill tempers throughout, and the officials waved no less than four Elon players to the sidelines. The great thrill of the period came when Jack Crenshow, Guil ford halfback, electrified his Qua ker supporters with a 60-yard punt return for a touchdown in the fisal minute of the game. Paul McNeill, Guilford end, kicked good again for the final 25 to 14 score The Christian line was cited with much praise for its fine play during the game. J. B. Vaughn, Lynn Newcomb, Tony DeMatteo, Bob Kopko, Tony Carcaterra and Jack Henderson were only a few of the Christian forwards who de serve mention, for the Elon line threw up a sterling defense thnt held the Quaker ball-carriers in check all night except for the two home-run thrusts. iContinued From Page Three) realiy rcled in 1949 in chalking a 33 to 6 victory to spoil East Car olina’s Homecoming joys that sea son. It was Elon Homecoming in 1950 as the Christians turned back the Pirates 21 to 16 in a pass-happy game at Burlington Stadium. The next year saw Elon roil again fo.- a 34 to 20 win, once again spoil ing the Pirate festivities in a bat- ;le that saw the two teams set all sorts of North Carolina rec ords for running and passing the ball. It was in that game that Elon’s Lou Rochelli set the great est individual offensive record for 1 single game in the history of Top Scores For Math Are Listed Seventeen freshman mathr tics students were listed this in the top ranks of their cla=s a result of the grades which ti' made on the annual fr€ci,[[,y mathmatics placement tests, wh'-h were given at the time of fau registration. The announcement of the top. ranking students was made bj Prof. Alfred Roger, who released the ratings in behalf o£ the col lege math department. Prof. a. L. Hook is chairman of the ma'J). ematics program in the college. Th« group of seventeen students included those who posted the sev en highest scores on the tests, with Robert Willett, of Greensboro, placing first, and Eugene Croase’ of Winston-Salem, second, David Dewar, of Greensboro.

East Carolina Game North Carolina football, far sm passing the best efforts of all "Bi! Four” stars, including the greil Charlie Justice. The Pirates broke through »iH a 25 to 9 win in 1952 and added a 45 to 25 victory in 1953, but Elon's fine team of 1954 surprised the East Carolinians with a 20 U 6 triumph here at Burlington.
