Elks Bowl
The Elks Bowl was a postseason college football bowl game played after the 1953 and 1954 regular seasons.[1] There was also an earlier playing of the game, at the junior varsity level, in 1952.[2] Each game was held at a different venue in North Carolina. The bowl's name came from the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, a fraternal order, with proceeds from the game going to their charitable works.[3] Like some other postseason match-ups of the era, such as the Grape Bowl, Glass Bowl, and Optimist Bowl, results are listed in NCAA records, but the games were not considered NCAA-sanctioned bowls.[1]

Notes
- Morris Harvey halfback Jimmy Carr was selected as most valuable player of the January 1954 game.[7]
- For the December 1954 game, Wofford had been invited to face Appalachian State, but were unable to accept due to other commitments; Newberry was then invited and accepted.[8]

gollark: I think the reason my music listening is using so much CPU, for instance, is that I'm using YouTube for it, which provides videos, which Firefox is decoding even if the actual video content isn't seen. The actual audio content I care about could probably be decoded on a cheap ARM microcontroller or something if there wasn't so much random stuff in the way.
