REID THIS
■ne*'*
Dr, J. Earl Danieley’s
job Is now safe.
After the way Red Wil-
soni has been instilling
combat in our Fighting
Christians, I suggest that
Gov. Moore’s position Is
now in jeopardy. 1 no
longer propose that we
replace Big Earl with one
Mr. Shirley Wilson, a
thought which I had after
we took the Guilfords In
the football opener. Af
ter later games, such as
the PC win, Wilson mer
its something bigger,
such as the governor’s
chair. Do you realize that
already thisfall, our foot
ballers have won as many
games as we collected in
two previous years.
Moreover, we doubled our
Carolinas Conference
victory total.
Even If we fall on our
sitting-down places for
the rest of the season.
Red has still hauled our
forces out of the (Ahem)
red. If we were to dis
pose of just one of the
Goliath types left on the
schedule, I propose our
man replace LBJ. The
more I cogitate that sug
gestion, the more smit
ten I am with my sug
gestion.
Anyway , Red, for those
of you who have met him,
can be a soft and albeit
firm-spoken fellow who
has the build of a fllled-
out O'Kelly monument.
One of the first sentences
he passed my way after
assuming the coaching
command at Elon was:
“Ummm — well. I’m not
used to losing.”
Statisticians cite his
past winning ways in Car
olina high schools, I re
member him in’49 at South
Norfolk, Va,, when he
crash-landed ourNorvIew
High School Pilots when
we might have flown high.
He has brought Elon a
football formation called
the Single Wing. It Is one
I played, so I like It. If
I worked in that format,
it means this tactic Is
ancient. Like vaudeville.
It Is so old that It Is
new. Lenoir Rhyne and
East Carolina deploy It to
advantage. Moreover,M r.
Wilson vows to use my
very favorite play; the
Statue of Liberty. The ball
Is hiked to the backfleld
man, you understand, and
he stands there poised
to chunk the ball, but he
doesn’t pass at all. In
stead, he hands back to
another chap who runs
like Satan. Fresh as 23-
sklddoo, but, oh you kid!
It works!
Despite Wilson’s being
among the disadvantaged
(he played at Davidson
rather than Elon), my
spouse describes him as
“a real pussycat.” I be
lieve this is flattering.
Through his guidance
of our team, Wilson Is
making my world a better
place to live in. I msan,
after all, he is the man
who brought us a win
streak of one straight.

New Dorm
(Continued from page 1)
Construction will get
underway during Novem
ber on the huge building,
which will increase E-
lon’s dormitory capacity
by 300 students and make
It possible for the col
lege to house 1,000 stu
dents on the campus. It
will be ready for use next
September.
The new complex will
really be two buildings,
with a three-story wo
men’s dormitory for 200
women that is connected
by an enclosed walkway
to a living-dining area,
over whichwillbeamen’s
dormitory to house 100
men. Along with the dining
area will be a reception
and lounge and recreation
area, along with a mail
room, laundry facilities
and three apartments for
dormitory hostesses. The
entire complex will be
air-conditioned and mod
Varsity Views
ern in every respect.
The expansion of the
campus housing accom
modations to the 1,000
student point reaches the
limit established by the
Elon trustees for campus
students, so the construc
tion of the new unit will
mark completion of the
college’s planned expan
sion in the dormitory
field.
What’s New?
(Continued from page 2)
no food to be found. Seve
ral words were exchanged
with Miss Parks, the
sweet gray-haired lady
with the charming voice,
but she did not give any
food out. She did have
some of her staff bring
out extra loaves of bread
and the cafeteria’s re
deemer, peanut butter.
Wasn’t that nice of her?
Not only did the band
go “supperless,” but a
busload of loyal fans did
also. When a group rep
resents the school In one
way or another, they are
given money or bag lun
ches for the meals they
will miss at Elon. I feel
very strongly that those
band members should be
reimbursed for the ham
burger or hotdog they had
to go out and buy. After
all, they did represent
Elon, and they did Indi
vidually pay the $212,50
for board, and they did
miss a meal.
Americans consume a-
bout 10 billion pounds of
sugar each year. That
adds up to about 100
pounds per person.

Pa,), Don Oakes (Grgtna,
Va,), John Austin (Greens
boro), and Dewey Capps
(Myrtle Beach, S,C.).
These are all first-year
prospects and have the
potential to win.
The return of letter-
man Robbie Ellis to the
infield should help last
year’s defensive problem
at third base. Ron Brown,
frosh from Glen Burnie,
Md., has shown promise
at shortstop. Bob God
frey, first baseman from
Greensboro, should help
tremendously on hitting
from the left side.
The outlook for the
Christian outfield is real
good. Mel Cliborne, Rich
ard Smith, and Joe Rina-
ca, all sophs, should make
the outfield one of the best
in the state.
With the returning tal
ent and the addition of
new prospects the Chris
tian “9” could possibly
have one of the best sea
sons in recent years. If
dedication and hard work
by the coach will do it
the '68 season should be
a good one.
Coach Jerry Drake is
one of the most dedicated
men in his field, I s^w
many examples of this
when we were team mates
a few years ago. No one
on the team worked any
harder or loved to win
any better than Drake.
With this type of coacii
at the helm It is a shame
that the administration
of
the school could not co
operate more in making
baseball at Elon a wiH'
ning tradition. Som®
have been wondering wha'
happened to the fallpra*'"
tice games and I can^
answer for certain, I
der if anyone knows wn
happened?
