TAGE THREE
MAROON and QOLD
SATURDAY JANUARY 24, 1948
ED MULFORD SAYS:
■Who will be the next football coach
at Elon? That’s the big question,
and your guess is as good as mine at
the moment. The man you hear men
tioned mast is Jim MaUory of
Burlington High, but we have also
heard the names of Joe Caruso,
Henderson High Coach, Jack Boone,
^kfield coach for the Portsmouth
Pros and our own likable Garland
Causey. Causey is one of the finest
line coaches you'll find anywhere
-and is currently doing a good job
hustle for Garland. But the man who
seems to hold the edge is Mallory.
There are several reasons why
Malory would be a good catch for the
Christians. First of all he knows
his stuff, the wonderful booklet he
prepared for his Burlington Bulldogs
i>rlor to the Green^oro game is
l»roof of that . His boys knew every
move the Whirlies made. Secondly
he will bring five or six of those fine
Burlington High ifootball players
with him and thirdly he will make a
grand baseball coach, something
we’ve been in need of for some time.
Mallory played centerfield for the
Giants, and were it not for an in-
jjured ankle in mid-sgason he might
still hp there. But we would like to
see Causey kept on as basketball
coach and as line coach, if Malory
is hired. Caruso turned out fine
teams at Rocky Mount and Hender
son and is an Elon alumnus as is
Boone who was, ajong with Joe
Cfolombek, pe^rhaps the biggest back-
field star Elon ever had. Any one
of he four might turn out a good
choice.
Don’t give up on this basketball
club of ours yet, the record at the
writing shows three wins and five
losses, but every' one of those lads
gives his all, and they'll win plenty
of games for us as the year goes on.
We’d like to single out every one of
the lads for individual ' praise, but
spnce does not permit. Up at
ELON MEETS E. C. T. C. TO-NIGHT
Elon meets a North State opponent
tonight in E. C. T, C. at the college
gym. Maroon & Gold Sports Staff
makes the Pirates a 2 point favorite
as a result of their 38-36 win over
A. C. C, but on our gym, the
Fighting Christians may make the
Pirates walk the plank. Of aditional
interest in North State Competition
is the fact that Catawba is no
longer unbeaten. W, C, T. C, put the
whamby on them 43-41 Thursday
evening.
Lenoir-Rhyne, the boys put on a
real thriller (as pictured bf Rockey
Sileo in the game story) and there
will be more games like that before
the year is over.
Coming home basketball games
for the Christians are on January
24 when E. C. T. C. plays here, on
Januray 29 when Lenoir-Rhyne plays
here and February 3, 7, 11, 13, and 14
when we meet High Point, Ap(palach-
ian, Atlantict Christians, Western
Carolina (twice) in order. Reserve
those dates and don’t miss them.
Intramural Basketball is progres
sing nicely, but we do believe that
it would be more interesting if all
the teams were in the same league.
Everyone we’v asked seems to be
in favor of that too. We believe it’s
the duty of the head of the Intra
mural council to call a special meet
ing and discuss it. Deadline for the
change would be January 28th. Up
to that time no team plays another
twice. We don’t want to try to run
anyhing from this corner and maybe
we ought to keep our big mouth
shut but we do believe it’s what the
majority wants. Look into it will you
Frank? Thanks. However, aU that
really counts is the good sport and
exercise the boys get and its really
not so terriibly important. Promised
some-one else we’d name the intra
mural football all-star team but can’t
for the life of us recall what W'as on
it. Pappy Wilkins was center, Del
Brown an end and Elis, Walker,
Dunn and Hopkins I believe were
on it too. But its kind of late in the
season for that anyhow.
COMPLIMENT CORNER
To Pete Marshburn; for not only
being a nice person, but also the
niftiest ball player in the Intramur
als for my money. To George Stanley,
ust a smile for being such a swell
guy. To Kappa Psi, Souh-North,
Vets Court and Alpha Pi for playing
such clean ball. To I. T. K. for
being the class of the league. To
iVlooiiey-Club House for never giving
up. To every team in the league; a
hearty sla(p on the back for being
sportsman. To evveryone; If your
name is left off these pages, it's an
oversight not anytliinig else and
please let us know what and who you
want to read about. This is YOUR
page, and we’ll do our darndest to
make it what you want.
Our final compliment is to Coach
Pierce’s Elon Jayvee basketball team
which is runing up victories and
and playing some fine ball. Fesmire,
Foster, Carr, Shearin, Peters, Gas
kins andall the rest on the squad—
your a bit of al right for our money
and our heartiest congratulations go
to everj'one of you. The game against
Edwards Military Institute was one
of the finest ever played on our
“Cracker Box Court”.

OOPS! HANES HIT THE HOOPS
Hanes Hosiery’s potent hoopsters
were just that as they won their
6th straight victory over North
State Competition, Wednesday over
Elon by a 55-46 score. The Christians
made a nice comeback in the second
half after trailing by 33-15 at half-
time, but it was too little and too
late.
Leo Kampman, frosh from Portts-
mouth, Va. is the forward who
poured 22 points through the hoop
in 49-48 win over Lenoir-Rhyne, Leo
is married and has one child,
Kampman is perhaps best “team
player” on squad.
Lacy Ganes, Pensylvanian with lots
of scrap, is a starting guard with
the Christians and a fine ball hand
ler as a good shot. Ganes is also a
freshman.

Elon Bows To
Catawba 55-37
In a rough ball game at the college
gym, Elon bowed to Catawba by a
55-37 count as the Indians dunkked
almost every shot they took from
outside the circle. Brilliant one hand
shots were their features of their
attack. For Elon, Billy Hopkins
scored 11 points and Smith 7 as the
Christians tried valiantly against
what apears to b« tb«* dass team of
the North State Conference.
The game was close for the first
fifteen minutes, but at that point
■Speacht, Graham, Wood and John
son started hitting and hitting often,

Elon Takes
Lenoir Rhyne
By Rocky Sileo
Our Fighting Christians overcame
a 13 point deficit in the final half
to defeat the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears
49-48 in a thriller-diller before a
capacity crowd at Hickory last week.
The big Bears started of with a
gang and held comfortable leads
throughout the first half and a
semingly secure 10 point margin at
the end of the half mainly on the
performance of Wells and Winstead
who scored 19 of the 29 points be
tween them. Leo Kampman had
nine of his 22 points in the first
half to spark the Fighting Christians.
Immediately after the second half
started, the Bears scoreu two quick
hoops and took a commanaing 14
point lead but Kampman and Co.
began peckking away at the score
until, with some 10 minutes of the
final half gone, Elon finally went
ahead never to relinquish the lead
although the score was tie on about
three occasions in the last five
minutes of play.

ELON BOWS TO ATLANTIC
CHRISTIAN
For he first time in history, as
far as the Maroon & Gold Staff
knows, Elon bowed to Atlantic
Christian in a basketball game play
ed at Wilson Monday night. The
score was 50-42 and of course caused*
lot of happiness down in the
Bulldog lair.
Day.”
“Every Dog Has His
Both teams made 20 hoops from
the field, Elon on 68 snots anu
Lenoir-Rhyne on 81 gut accuracy on
the foul line paid off in big dividends
PTS. as our Fighing Chrisians sank 9
6 of 14 while he Bears made only 8
of 19. ^
The boys w'ere great as a team
and to try and pick any one indivi
dual star would be imposible. Leo
Kampman poured through 10 hoops
from all angles of the court ' i
freethrows to lead the scoring with
22 points. Johnny Clayton sank
five valuable foul shots in the final
half besides playing ♦his usual bang
up game and diminutive Lacy Ganes
again brilliantly set up plays and
controlled the floor game while big
Ed Drew came through with 8
points and had the backboard sit
uation well in hand throughout the
battle, ,And then Savini, Lentz
Hopkins, Andrews, Smith, Kemodle
and Martin who all chipped in to
make this the best game of the
young season as those few loyal Elon
rooters who made the long trip will
attest.
Ed Drew, brilliant rebound man
from Porstmouth, Va. is just round-
mg into shape. Playing his second
year with the Elon Varsity, Drew
is also married and the father of
“Porkchop Jr.”Ed is the man vvhe did
most to wn the North State Tourna
ment last year.
THIRST KNOWS
NO SEASON
John Clayton, guard and captain
of basketball team is playing last year
with Fighting Christians. Last season
John was honored asm most valu
able player, succeeding Joe Golom-
bek of the year before, an award I
which he richly deserved. |
