The other day, 1 was looking
through the new Elo* Callege Bul
letin. You people at Elon have it
good and may not realize it. .
The pictures in that bulletin
show that the school has added so
much we'd Hke to have had back
in the mid-forties. For one thing, I
see you have linoleum on the floors
of the dormitory rooms. In North,
we barely had enough unrotted
wood to cover the room. We had
DO closets. Not even water closets.
One dorm room on each floor had
been converted for this purpose.
It meant a lang walk around that
indoor gym to get to the room for
your floor. In the middle of a
cold night, thii could be . . . well,
I won’t bore you with our old
problems.

To return to more academic
thoughts, I wiah we’d had the
music facilities you do now — long
playing records and all that. I
remember the best we could do
was a scratchy 78 rpm of Artie
Shaw’s "Summit Ridge Drive" on
the juke bo« in the old book store
in Alamance. I suspect the caliber
of our music may ha»e been bet
ter than yours, but at least you’re
hearing your LP’s. Our 78 wax
records in the juke box were pret
ty scratchy.
You have football. Well, maybe
not too much, but you have foot
ball. We had nione. The war years
were lean. Oh, we played an in
formal schedule and I made the
Elon yearbook for bein£ the sea
son’s high scorer. I believe I scor
ed seven points. Gkiod or bad,
though, you have sure enough foot
ball to watch. Old H., who’s about
as loyal an Elon buff as there ever
■was (else he wouldn’t be writing
this stuff for free every issue), is
in the peculiar position of never
having seen an Elon football game.

In the opener of that 1921 sea

game to Lynchbuig College 15
to 7. T.'ic third contest was lost to
Wofford 20 to 7, although Elon
held the Terriers to a standstill ir
the second half. There was tht
scereless tie with Trinity, follow
ed by bitterly-fought 70 to 0 loss
to Hampden-Sidney. In the firs,
of two games with Guilford that
autumn, the rivals played a score
less tie in an Armistice Day game.
Davidson was victor by a 4’^ to 0
count, and then the Christians
closed out with a thrilling 7 to 0
win over Guilford on Thanksgiv
ing Day.
Best Early Season
Elon’s team had a better-than
average reason in 1922, with five
victories, four defeats and one tie
It was led by its captain and quart
erback, "Hap" Perry. Perry led
in scoring once again that year
and was named to the All-State
The Eloa eleven lost to David

but it defeated Lenoir Rhyne
to 6, Hampden-Sidney 13 to
Emory and Henry 29 to 0, Erskine
10 to 0 and Guilfosd 20 to 6 in
five straight victories. The last
game brought a 6-6 tie with Lynch
burg
Usual starters for the 1922 squad
included "Hap’’ Perry, quarter
back; Gkirdon Kirkland and McGe
Fix, halfbacks; Mark McAdams
fullback; Archie Braxton, center
John Whitesell and Seba High
guards; Grady Brown and John
Smith, tackles; and Pat Fl»n and
Hal Clark, ends.
The fortunes of the 1923 Elon
football squad were not great in
wins, but it brought a number of
hard-fought contests and aa even
Ibreak for the season with four
wins and four losses. Davidson
took the opener from Elon 19 to
0, but Elon won the second game
and her first victory over ynch
burg when substitute Tiny Rich
ardson kicked a 25-yard field goal
a 3 to 0 win. King College
routed the Christians 54 to 0, but
Elon won the next two in a row,
topping Hampden-Sidney 12 to 7
and taking Emory and Henry 6
to 0.
Trinity held Elon scoreless in a

No Win At AU
The 1924 season was not a good
year for the Maroon and Gold
eleven, for this squad was never
atle to break into the win col

Elon that year, the team met de

Durg 16 o 0, Hampden-Sidney 27

Archie Braxton also played his
last game for the Elon grid squad
that fall, and Braxton, Whitesell
land Cliff Elder all left big gaps
in their positions when they grad
uated. Highlighting this year was
an -Alumni-Varsity game on
Thanksgiving Day. AU the former
grid captains were among the
playing alumni, along with other
igi-eats from years gone by. They
■were too much for the varsity,
and they subdued the 1924 teani
12 to 0. Grady Brown and Alf
Brown hit pay-dirt for the scores.
Coach Frank Corboy directed
his last Elon squad in the 1925
season, which saw the Christians
winning two games out of the
scheduled eight. Captain-elect
Archie Braxton, who had planned
to do graduate work at Elon did
not return to school, and his fail
ure to return left a big hole at

A day-long rain had soaked the
field into a quagmire, making tlu
ball difficuH to handle, and there
wert times when fumbles came so
frequently as to make the gam-
something like "Button, Button-
Who’s Got The Button?” The
Christians recovered five Pirato
fumbles during the game but they
lost three fumbles of their own to
the East Carolina outfit.
Charlie Rayburn pounced on a

from thtre for a score. There war
a first down on the eight, and
