Captain Gilbert Watts, senior guard, and Hob Bell, junior for ward, also proved big factors in the Christian attack.

Del- ais, who played halfback, full- Before the season began, we felt that it was a loss-up between Lenoir Rhyne and Catawba for the Conference honors, and this belief was fairly well substantiated by the post-season All-Conference and All-State selections made by ■le Grensboro Daily News, but it was pleasant to see that Elon fared well in both selectioas. This fact is an indication of the actual and potential strength of the Elon football team, as express ed in balloting by opposing coach es, and who should know better than they? Four Elon men made the Daily News All-Conference selection, in cluding Tony Carcaterra, the Con ference’s most outstanding pass- catching and defensive end; J. B. Vaughn, the ferocious tackle who bulwarked the Elon front Une ol defense; Charlie Maidon, the North State's leading passer and a fine signal-caller; and Joey DelGais, Elon’s hard-running back who played halfback, fullback and quarterback, and who rated among the Conference's leading rusher:.. The same four men also made the Winston-Salem Journal's All- Conference squad, Tony Carcaterra was also a re peat selection for All-State honors, (EDITOR'S NOTE: Of course we know that football season is long past, but the Maroon and Gold still has an obligation to record for historical reasons the unhappy battle with Lenoir Rhyne, which was played after the most recent issue of the pa per.) The Lenoir Rhyne Bears, gain ing revenge for that shellacking dished out by the Christians at Hickory last season, hammered out a 36 to 6 victory over the Elon eleven at Burlington on Saturday * night, No>ember 15th, putting a tragic ending to Elon’s 1958 cam paign, which showed three Elon wins in nine games. The Bears scored early when Farmer passed to Weber for a TD that climaxed a 77-yard drive, and Bill Ackard added a second Bruin score on a 17-yard run early in the second period before Elon rebounded and drove for a score that made the half-time count 16 to 6. Joe DelGais plung ed one for the Elon TD that closed \5ut a 65-yard drive from the kick-off. That was Elon’s fmal threat, and the invaders added three other scores in the final halt, with Midgett going 10 yards and Fos ter grabbing a Farmer pass for 23 and a second touchdown in the third quarter.

The defending North Dorm team, moved out of its old habitat this year, presented an almost com plete team of veterans under the colors of East Dorm, and the Eastemers proved their power by finishing a strong second in the loop with an 8-2 record. Their only losses were to the Playboys. The Playboys, paced by Man ager Bill Libby and Jerry Ever- ton and with able aid from Paul Brinser and Steve Mauldin, clinch ed their championship with a 30- 18 victory over East in the de ciding game.
