The Football
Game of Games
VOLUME XX
QUAKERS PLAY ELON TODAY
GUILFORD ENDING
SEASON AGAINST
ANCIENT RIVALS
Presidents of Student Bodies
Gather in Midfield to Express
Mutual Good Feeling.
ON NEUTRAL GROUND
Traditional Clash Held as Usual in
Greensboro Memorial Stadium;
Elon Seeks Revenge.
This afternoon Guilford College and
Elon College will meet in their annual
gridiron battle at the Greensboro Mc
moria Stadium at 2:00.
As a special feature of the game the
men and women presidents of the Elon
and Guilford student bodies will meet
in midfield as an expression of good
will. John Hugh Williams and Pris
cilla White will shake hands with
Bradshaw Holland and Patricia liolden.
The game between these two rivals
is the highlight of the football season
for both colleges. In the last four
encounters, Elon has had the best of
the affairs. Tliey walked off with two
straight victories in '3O and '3l. Last
year Guilford came back, on that mem
orable Saturday afternoon, and admin
istered a crushing 24-6 defeat to the
Christians.
This year Elon will be out to avenge
that licking nnl the Quakers are look
ing forward to one of the hardest
games of the season. Judging from
comparative scores of this year. Elon
has a considerable edge on Guilford,
but when these two teams get together
comparative scores mean less than
nothing; just about anything may hap
pen. With no game the preceding week
for either team, both squads will prob
ably be in the best of shape to put
up their hardest scrap.
Besides being the last game of the
year for Guilford, it will mark the end
of the collegiate football careers of
Rasely, Purnell and Hears.
The Quaker squad has been working
hard for the past two weeks; they know
their football and they know how to
fight; what is needed is the whole-
enthusiastic support of the
student body.
