Little Miss Elinor Doris Brown, the daughter of D.W. Brown of Elon College, has been elected sponsor of the Elon basketball team for 1924. Her brother, “Bob,” is captain of this year’s team.
Usually the sponsor of a team is the captain’s best girl friend. It was not a lack of best girl friends, but so many of them that it was hard for Captain Brown to decide which was the best, that caused him to bestow this honor on his little sister.
Miss Brown is only 6 years old, yet she shows a great interest in the team of which her brother is leader. She attends the games that are played here. She also has another brother, Alph, on the team.
The team is proud of its little sponsor and she will no doubt realize some day what an honor she has had in sponsoring such a team as this year’s team is proving to be. Her brothers are playing well on this year’s team.
Little Elinor’s picture will be in the Phipsicli, the annual year book of the college. This section is always a beautiful part of the book and her picture will add greatly to this section.
