Will close out their 1958 :;rid sea
son by meeting the Lenoir Khyne
liears at Burlington Stadium at
8 o'clock Saturday night.
The battle, which marks the
thirtieth meeliiu of the North
State Confcreiu-e rivals since 1921,
finds the routfh-tough Bears un
defeated in the Conference this
tall and aiming for u fourth
straiglit loop title, and tlie Chris-
ti.ins would like nothing better
than to spoil that high mark of
the invaders.
The Elon grldders have not for
gotten how the Bears got their
1957 crown, a title which was giv
en to Lenoir Rhyne after the
Christians had run roughshod over
the big bad Bruins in their own
lair at Hickory by a 20 to 7 score.
That vlctorycloscd out an un
defeated season for the Elon team
of 1957, and both Elon's players
and their supporters fell the crown
was rightfully theirs, but the Con
ference awarded the champion
ship to the Bears on a leclinical-
ity due to a pair of “flu-cancelled’'
games that cut Elon’s season short.
That ruling still rankles and will
prove a terrific incentive to drive
the Christians this weekend.
The Lenoir Rhyne series is the
second oldest in Elon grid his
tory, with Elon holding sixteen
wins and Lenoir Rhyne thirteen
in th« twenty-nine games played
since 1921. It is a sore fact, how
ever, that Elon has managed only
two wins since World War U. H
There were six Elon wins in a
row as the series started, begin
ning with a 39-0 victory In 1921,
followed by a 48-6 Christian win
in 1922. Then came Elon wins by
