time with a 13-0 lead.
Again in the third quarter, the
Christians moved after Charlie
Maidon grabbed an Indian fum
ble at tiie Elon twenty-seven, and
it was three first downs in suc
cession to the goal line. A pair of
Vlaidon heaves to Tony Carcater-

ioe DelGais placed the ball on the
three, from where DelGais plung
ed for his second TD of the night.
It was Maidon to Harry Faust for
.he two-pointer that gave Elon a
21-0 edge. - - ■
That was the game as far as
Elon was concerned, although the
Indians took advantage of two
consecutive 15-yard penalties
ngainst Elon and added a 25-yard
pass from Vernon Prather to John
Hudgens to set up the Newberry
touchdown. The TD came on a
one-yard plunge by Prather on a
keeper, but try-for-point failed as
the final score was written at 21-
6.
Once more the victory came on
a mighty team effort for Elon,
with five backs sharing the ball-
carrying honors and with a rug
ged Christian line halting the
peedy Indian backs effectively.
Both Maidon and DelGais had
more than 100 yards total offense,
and Tony Carcaterra caught six
passes to top the Elon attack.

punted to the Cat thirty-five, and
on the next play Cooper hit Tom
Broadwater wilh a pass for a
score. A pass for extra points
failed, and Elon led 7 to 6.
At that point Elon opened up
with a display of power to count
her second TD, taking the ensu

teen plays. W. B. Simpson return
