WHAT’S ^
By

WHATLEY
That Catawba affair was about the
best game seen on the local court in
a long time. It’s too bad that we
v/ere on the wrong end of the score,
by one goal., but with a few breaks we
I ho a' le to iake them on their
home floor. It was the closest game
played at Elon since the Appalachian
sraiii^ of 1,^'t year. That game ended
another way though. Elon was on
top. 44-43 when the final whistle
sounded.
L. J. (Hap) Perry is the new
head coach. Perry has had an
enviable record at Reidsville
High School. His class “B”
conference teams have always
been on or near the top of the
heap, and have held their own
with class “A" teams in the state.
Perry, who played basketball,
baseball and football here, has
turned out such stars as the Sa-
crinty brothers who attended
Wake Forest. It would be nice
to have a few of those down ait
Elon.
Although nothing definite has been
announced yet as to a football sched
ule. it is probable that Elon will meet
most of the North State Conference
and maybe a couple of oul-of-
conference foes. No schedule will be
eleaicd until Coach Perry takes over
■lip reins of Elon athletics, but ru-
nors have it that the Christians will
resume their annual Thanksgiving
Day game with High Point Col
lege.
How about that cheering at the
Catav.ba game. Here’s a big
'"'roVi of red roses to all the cheer
leaders and to the entire student
body. The Mountaineers from
Appalachian should feel right at
home if all that noise keeps up
until they gel down here.
BURNS HEADS NORTH STATE
CONFERENCE IN SCORING
Christians Drop Game
To Catawba By^50-48
In the closest game played on the
local court this season, the Elon
Christians went down 50 to 48 last
Saturday night to a determined bunch
of Catawba Indians. The Elon team
took an early lead with Burns pacing
the attack, but the Indians came back
to go ahead 13-10. The Christians
fought back to hold a 15-16 lead after
10 minutes of play. From then on Ca-
fawba. with McGinnis hitting set
shots, went ahead and Elon never had
ihe lead. The score at half was 23-20
in favor of Catawba.
Burns was high scorer for the eve
ning with 17 points and McGinnis fol- i
lowed with 14 points. Van Hoy. Ca-
t i'vba forward, had 11 points and
Steve Castura had 8. Roney Cates,
playing with six stitches in his chin,
was not up to par and had only six
points for the night. Taylor and Gol-
orp.hek played a fine defensive gagme.

Coach L. J. “Hap” I*erry, Elon’s new
head mentor of athletics, was on cam
pus II st Tuesday for a discussion with
all men interested in atheltics. Pleas
antly soft spoken, the new head coach
gave some of his ideas on coaching
ard in doing so made a strong impres
sion on the men present. Jerry, who
fakes over the reins July 1. said that
he had high hopes for football dur
ing the coming year but mentioned
that we would have to start from
scratch. He reminded the (Tien pres
ent that most of the other schools
have at least one year’s start on
Elon, and said that the schedule for
the first year would probably be with
colleges about the same size as our
own.
After Perry's opening statements,
there was a general discussion and
Perry answered questions brought up
bv the varsity athletes who were pres
ent. Many questions concerning Per
ry’s state championship team of last
year were put forth and Perry stated
that possibly some of his seniors on
this team would enroll here. After
the meeting Coaches Perry and Ad-
cox went to work on the football
schedule for the coming year.

( Up until the time of publication
Warren Burns, captain of the Elon
basketball team, is leading the scoring
in the North State Conference. Burns,
with a total of 59 points for three con
ference games, has an average of al
most 20 points per game. He had 21
against'l.enoir Rhyne, followed with
the same number against Appalachian
^ and tossed in 17 against Catawba,
i Leonard. Guilford center, is second
with 42 points and Roney Cates is
tied with Gudger of Catawba for
third place with 33 points.
For all gp/ies played, Roney Cates
has eight more points than Burns. His
total is 148 in comparison to 140 for
Burns. This combination has scored
more than half of the team s total of
559 points. Elon opposition has hit
the hoop for 497 points. Cates has
f sored more points in any one game
than any other man. This was his
total of 31 points against the Thomas-
ville Lions Club. Burns comes next
V. ith 24 points against Lynchburg. The
highest total scored against the Chris
tians in any one game was the 25
points tossed in by Wooten of Hanes.
Other Elon players who have scor
ed more than 20 points are Kernodle,
75: Golombek. 69: Castura. 36: Re^
ister, 26: and Taylor. 23.
Pictured above is Don Kernodle. first
string forward who hit 10 points

BOMBARDIERS AND JOKERS
I.EAD MEN’S INTRAMURALS
BLOWING ROCK
In their first two Conference starts,
the Elon Christians swamped Lenoir
Rhyne 63-38 and turned back Appa
lachian 51-50. Both of the games were
played away, the Christiana meeting
Lenoir Rhyne there January 11. and
Appalachian at Boone January 12.
Warren Burns paced the attack
against the Bears with 21 points.
Roney Cates followed him closely with
14. Bill Anderson, although playing
only about 10 minutes, tossed in a
total of 7 points. Wayne Taylor and
Joe Golombek played bang-up games
on defense and controlled the re
bounds most of the night.
Ed Walker, Lenoir Rhyne forward,
and Gene Miller, guard, led the Bear
scoring with 11 and 8 points, respec
tively, and Ed Entzi, lanky center, led
the defense.
The next night WarreiTBurns again
tossed in 21 points and Cates had
a total of 13. Golombek and Castura
led the Christian defense.
W^ey, reserve guard for the Moun
taineers, got into the game after the
half and threw in 9 points, 7 of them
coming in the last few minutes.
The game was the closest played
this year and the Appalachian cheer
ing section almost went mad as the
lead changed eight times in the last
four minutes. The Mountaineers led
50-48-with 40 seconds to go. but Ker
nodle sunk a free throw and Cates
put one in from under the bucket for
the winjiing margin -in the last few
seconds of play.

The Elon Basketeers, on the way to
‘ Alapachin,” found a big wind on a
cold morning. But we want to settle
a wild rumor that seems to have
blown down from the hills. There
were no mountain belles at Blowing
Rock that day. They were all at
Boone, waiting for Golombek. Burns
and Co., to come and skin that Grizzly
—Ole Silvertip of Boone. We skun

The girls’ basketball season has
; really started at last. It sure seems
I good to see each dormitory turning out
to support it’s respective team. The
I scores of only three regular tourna-
i ment games have been reported as
yet. Each team will play four games
in all. a.*d the team winning the
greatest percentage of games will be
declared the champions. Because of
the limited time in which the games
must be played, and conflict with
other events the ladder had to be
shortened considerably.
January 9 the Hubbas’ of East de
feated the Wildcats of 2nd Floor West
by the score of 22-18. Helen McBane
was high scorer for the Hubbas’ with
10 points. Jane Warren racked in 8
points for the Wildcats, as well as
being the outstanding player all the
way.
In the game played January 14, the
Rebels of 3rd Floor West fought a
hard fight with the Beasts of East
and finally won by the score of 18-11.
This was the best game to date, with
a better knowledge of the rules and
a better sence of fair play than Jias
been shown in the practice games or
the games during gym periods.
Because of the “big snow” the Day
Students were unable to play their
scheduled game with the Wildcats on
January 18.
In the last game reported before
this column was written the Rebel
defeated the Hubbas’ by the score" ot
24-4.
Some of the team managers are
having trouble getting girls to play.
Of course, on nights when meetings
are scheduled at 7 o’clock it is im
possible for some girls to play. How
ever. if it is possible let’s all try to
get dressed, and go over to the gym.
The more girls that play, the more
experience will be gained and better
ball games will be the result.
Here is the remainder of the sched
ule; ^
January 28: Wildcats vs. Rebels
January 30: Hubbas’ vs. East.
February 14: Day Students vs. Re
bels.
witn 13 points and Joe Golombek was
esc on defense. Wayne Taylor, i, i. , ,
starting at center in place of injured ® eague opener, w en they halted
Roney Cates, played well but was
outclassed by the taller and more ex
perienced Hanes men. Warren Burns
and Don Kernodle had 12 and 10
points respectively for the Elon team. !
Earl Wooten, rated by many as the
fastest man they had ever seen on
the hardwood, tossed in 25 points for
the Hanes team and Greer, the other
Hanes forward, followed closely with
21 points. Hugh Hampton, six feet
seven inch center, controlled rebounds
on both back boards.

the Wolves, 18-15. paced by Calvin

The Bombardier victory was an ex
citing, 20-19 nod over the Gremlins.
In that game. A1 Valderrama led the
winners with eight markers, but Link
Howard took personal honors with 10
for the losers.
The Gremlins gained their single
win last Tuesday, edging out tiie
Wolves in a ragged battle, 24-21. How
ard again led his mates, this time with
eight points, while A1 Burlingame’s
similar total was high for the Wolves.
