Share Duties As Elon
Basketball Managers
A great deal of credit is to be j
extended to the Elon basketball |
managers. This year the duties |
are being shared by Tal Aber
nathy and BUI Claytor. These I
boys have worked very d.ligenc-;
Jy m helping Coach Hendrickson |
£et the team in shape for the cui-
xfcnt season.
They give needed assistance to
the players when they are in- j
jured and keep check on eaca 1
player’s equipment. When the |
Ifcam goes on a trip, the managers |
have many worries in keeping up
-with the players, making suro j
they get their meals, and arrang-1
ing for sleeping quarters. |
These managers also have to,
act as scorekeepers and time |
keeper at all games. j
Realizing that they put a lot:
of work and time to the job it'
is not hard to see what their.
share is in helping make our bas- j
ketball team a success. Almost j
every player will admit that I
many times he would be lost if |
he didn’t have Tal or Bill to call j

chemists analyze the smoke of 5 of the largest-selling
