think the true picture is that Terrell
is deeply interested in what hap

That alumni mjigazme is full of ac
counts of some of my own friends.
One of the finest Elon College

so many stories about', I thought
an alumni publication — much lessi
giving ca.sh to Elon — was a lot of

a lot' to get an education. Tliis. the
school owed me: not the other way

12 to 7 victory over the Elon Christ

noon, October 26th.
The victory, which was the first
for Catawba in the .series since
l‘)59, marked Elon’s first lass in
Carolinas Conference play for this
\ear, but the defeat left the rhri.st-
ians still in the thick of competi-

The Elon gridders had grabbed a
7 to 0 lead when speedy Willie Tart,
Elon .senior halfback, grabbed a Ca
tawba punt and limberlegged it for
50 yards into touchdown land. His
TD came with barely three min-
With such sterling defense by the
Christians, it appeared during most

Homrroming Game
The Carson-Newman Homecom
ing game was of interest. The sta
dium, located on the campus, ac
commodated about 3,500 and was
well filled. Like Elon, the Eagles
have a Homecoming parade, but
theirs moved right onto the field
instead of stopping outside the sta
dium. Sponsors, cheerleaders and
floats were very pretty, and the
band was well-matched with ours
and led by five attractive major
ettes
Speaking of cheering, much has
been said lately about cheering at
Elkm's football games. At Carson-
Newman. about all that was heard
for 58 minutes on the other side ofjme on the need for a trophy case
the field was the cheerleaders Then, i They say to keep preaching until
trailing 7-6 in the game, the Eagles w-e get one. so here we go. To ad-
took over on EUon's thirty-five, and! ministration. aJumni and students
the ftudent body rallied. I'll bet' I think wv need a trophy case. What

Mot-Weather Football
In the closing minutes of the Car-
son-Newman game, the Eiagles
Marched 31 yards in six plays be
fore what they called a "freak
fumble, " but the early part of the
game had been a different story,
for Elon moved 78 yards in ten
plays after the opening kick-off
The Elon lag at the end of the
«ame was attributed to hot weather
and I think it was truly thus. As
much as 1 like nice, warm fall
days. I'm thinking it better be cool
for the Western Carolina tilt to
morrow.

There was only 4:45 on the clock
when Bill McDevitt tossed a fourth
down pass to Bucky Pope for 2fi
yards and a first Catawba touch
down, but an attempted pass for
the two-pointer failed, and Elon still
led by 7 to 6.
That one-point margin still seemed
safe, but the pay-off came with
barely 1:15 left on the clock. Mc
Devitt went back on fourth down
from near mid-field and tossed to
Bucky Pope, who lateralled to Dave
Campbell, who legged untouched
into the end zone. The try for a
two-pointer again failed, but it did
not matter. TTie game was lost by
a 12 to 7 score.

driving for pay dirt, fumbled the
