Jim Abbitt is regarded as a po-
tent line plunger, Amos Shelton,
a little fellow at quarterback. is
a capable hand with a forward
pass. He is deadly in those battling
throws down the center area. and
Bradley, left end. is clever at re
ceiving the ball. A bit of bad luck
in two previous games hampered
the style of the Elon team, but the
boys are not discouraged.
Injuries Strike G. w.
The Colonials were hard hit by
injuries in the game with Emory
Henry. Bruce Mahan and Jay
Turner limped out of action, and
the date of their probable return
is not yet known. However, the
game must go on, and Joe Kaut-
man and Frank Marka will be in
the backfield tonight.
Kaufman is a youth who may
rise to stardom tonight, or some
night or day not far distant. He
has all the ability that any half
back needs, and one of these days
he is going to go to town. Marka
is a fine blocking back who, fol-
lowing the teachings of the pro-
fessionalS and charges not to a
man, but through him.
The right side of the Colonial
line is one that really pleases Bill
Reinhart, Jim Pixlee's capable as
sistant coach. RebholZ will start
at tackle tonight with Hanken at
end. These two boys are genuine
football players who have what it
takes to succeed. Their play last
week was more than pleasing.
JENKINS FIELD GENERAL
George Jenkins will call the
plays tonight, and Roy Reeves will
be at fullback. Pixlee has polished
up the attack of his team and has
placed new weapons in the hands
of the boys. 1t should be vastly
improved team that takes the turf
tonight.
III fortune seems to pursue the
right side of the Catholic Univer-

Before the game Jim Pixlee
came forth with a glowing tribute
over the loudspeakers which must
have made Leemans feel that his
career at George Washington was
not in vain.

No, fluffy didn't quite get
around to scoring touchdowns. but
he did score in the hearts of all
