Fighting Christians rip
Catawba; down Bulldogs
by Gar>' Spitler
Sports Editor
The Fighting Christians of
Elon College, rated -2 in the
KAIA last week, smashed the
undefeated ^ 4 rated Catawba
Indians 35-0 and downed the
Gardner-Webb Bulldogs 17-10
to boost their record to 8-0
overall.
The entire team, the offense
and the defense, poured on their
great talent to shut out the
Indians and break their six
game winning streak. Elon
smashed Catawba's hopes of
winning game seven also in
1937 when the Catawba Indians
were striving for a
record-breaking seventh w in.
The teams ran out onto the
field, the bands playing, and
excitement could te felt in the
air as two of North Carolina's
undefeated teams put their
records on the line. With UKC's
12-10 win over ECU last week
and Eton's victory over
Catawba 35-0, Elon College has
become the only undefeated
team in the state of North
Carolina.
The game opened at 2 p.m.
with a capacity crowd on hand.
Catawba won the toss and
Elon's Bob DeFrenn kicked off
for the Christians. Catawba,
failing to pick up their initial
first down, was forced to punt
with fourth and two at the
Catawba 29. Elon then took
over first and ten on the Elon
40. Elon's Howard Ferguson
carried the ball to the 40. On the
next play, runningback Prince
Deese gained five yards for the
Christians. With third and two
at the 48, Ferguson moved the
ball to the 45 for an Elon first
down. On the next play,
quarterback Nick derCola
connected to Roxie Bratton for
an eight-yard pass. On the
following play, Elon's derCola

PIRG works in
prices, problem
legislation
Bookstore prices, housing
problems and auto repair are
among the issues that the North
Carolina Public Inieresi
Research Group at Elon is
working to do something about
this fall. Beginning its tirst lull
year of research and advocacy,
Elon PIRGers plan to have
practical results and solutions
for students before the semester
ends.
Students working with Elon
PIRG are surveying the housing
situation in the Bur-
lington-Graham area and
compiling a list and guide for
students and faculty to make
home-hunting easier next
semester. The list will include
all essential information
including rent, location, size
and landlord hassles. Students
living off-campus can expect to
be contacted by friendly PIRG
students asking for such
information.
NC PIRG is also conducting a
survey of the campus bookstore
in hopes of finding solutions to
complaints voiced by students.
Car owners will be glad to
know that NC PIRG at Elon is
studying the sei-vices available
in the Burlington-Graham area
so that students and faculty can
more easily find a fair deal.
Anyone having had a bad deal
or an exceptionally good
experience with an automobile
parts dealer or repair shop
should drop a note at the PIRG
office in Long Student Center,
with his name and phone
number.
NC PIRG students at Elon
will also be working with
students from other campuses
this winter in favor of
returnable beverage container
legislation. This kind of project
gives students the chance to
work on broader, exciting issues
and try their hand at dealing
with the media and testifying
before governmental agencies.

Book and trophy shop
opens in GibsonviUe
by Doug Durante
Melvin Shreves, director of
public information, and coaches
Bill Momingstar and Chuck
Harris have announced the
opening of a book and trophy
store in GibsonviUe. Located on
Main Street, the store is jointly
owned by the three faculty
members and is being managed
by Mrs. Shreves.
One of the oldest buildings in
GibsonviUe, the store has been
everything from a pub to, most
recently, a paint store.
When asked how they arrived
at the combination of books and
trophies, Mr. Shreves said that
he was interested in selling
used books and that Coach
The next North Carolina
Elon PIRG meeting will be
tonight, Nov. 4, at 6 o clock in
the student center lounge.
Momingstar was looking for a
trophy store, so together with
Coach Harris they combined the
two.
"There is only one used book
outlet in Alamance County and
one in Greensboro so we feel we
have a good thing going," Mr.
Shreves said.
They plan to include greeting
cards and gifts in the near
future. The trophy sales will be
concentrated on schools and
recreation departments where
there is a big demand. They will
also offer photo processing at
reduced rates.
The store will not be dealing
in textbooks because of the
small profit involved and the
dangers of a book being
canceled. Students are welcome,
however, to browse through the
large amount of reading
material, including several
books that are collectors' items.
