A.
Ed MulfoTd Says
about.basketball
Garland Causey has really put new
life into our lads,. As this is written,
the Christians are currently the hot
test things in the North State Con
ference and considered as good as
anyone in the/ coming tournament.
The thrilling 42-31. 53-48 and 44-42
wins over Lenoir Rhyne, High Point
and Appalachian were honeys. The
47-33 win over Atlantic Christian
might have been even more if the
Christians had not had such a mis
erable first half. It’s quite a race this
North State affair, with every team
in the conference having lost at least
three games and even lowly Atlantic
having won a couple.
ABOUT OUR CROWDS
Nothing to be proud of, however,
are the actions of our students at
these games. Booing the opposition
when they toe the foul line, shouting
insults at the officials and doing
everything they can to lose friends
in the North State, the crowds here
are showing some of the worst sports
manship ever witnessed. In the App
alachian game some ‘egghead’ even
threw a newspa/per at a foul shooter
for the mountainers. At this point
referee Husser should have called a
technical foul on the crowd. But he
didn’t; instead he appointed himself
a good candidate for janitor and grace
fully exposed his posterior and swept
on it. Our boys played a wonderful
game, but the Mountainers did have
leason to go home with a “We wuz
robbed” attitude.
ABOUT SOFTBALL
Football, basketball, baseball and
all the intramural sports are a rousing
success here. The Maroon and Gold
is now going to get behind the one
laggard and push it. Intramural soft
ball scores and standings will be
published in this sheet regularly, j
Also the box scores of the intramural
games will be published. Teams are
uiged to get their clubs organized
now! And if two teams don’t have ! ^
enough men tcT field a team, combine j f'
with another club. It takes nine men "
to play the game; it’s fast and a swell
ABOUT BASEBALL
This year's baseball team finds a
goodly amount of material back. Pit
chers Andrews^ Anderson, Vaughan,
Roberts, and Davis from last year’s
club. Outfielders Sileo, York.Savini
Ellington, and Erlacher ana Infleiaers!
Ellis, Walker, and McSwain. Only
tv.o positions we are w’ondering about
are second base (Walker is a short
stoip now) and catcher. Chub Brown
oi Burlington used to be pretty good
behind the plate:perhaps he’ll go out
Under Jim Mallory the club should
be a bit of o.k.
ABOUT JIM MALLORY
This is the good news we were all
waiting for. Jim Mallory has been
named coach at Elon. The general
opinion is that it’s a mighty good
choice. The first time we ever saw
“Sunny Jim”, as he is known in New
York, was at the Polo Grounds play
ing with the New York Giants, We
were just out of the Army at the time
and traveling 40 miles to the ball park
for our local paper each day. The
Giants had three good center fielders
in Red Treadway, John Rucker and
Mr. Mallory. Once he got into the
lineup they couldn’t get him out. He
bit well and showed amazing speed.
As we recall, an injured ankle finally
forced him out of the game after 77
fine performances. Next time we saw
him was while playing basketball over
at Burlington High with a local team
and at that time we were impressec
with his hospitality and general nice
the floor, Husser usually calls a good | way of treating teams that visited
game, but he was so rattled here | there. We don’t believe that “Jim” is
that he failed to call a jump ball, | going to teke any baloney~but we dc

Before Elon
Elon’s Christians, overcoming a
halftime deficit of 19-13, defeated
the Bulldogs from Wilson 47-33 on
Feb. 11. Lacy Ganes, shortest man on
the court, took high scoring honors
for Elon with twelve ipoints, with Har
vey Smith following at 10. The tri
umph brought the Christians’ record
up to 5 and 5 in the Conference and
made it 7 wins and 9 losses for the
season. Smith, who is just a frosh
here at Elo’, entered the contest late
in the second half with the Causey-
men leading 26-25 and proceeded to
four quick field goals. Those eighf
points really sew'ed up tlie ball game.
The Bulldogs rolled up their 19-13
halftime margin after a slow start.
The count was tied at 3-3 and Daniel
put the visitors out front after seven
minutes of play, and they weren’t
headed again during the half. Elon
made 17 of 59 tries from the floor
for a 22 percent average while A.C.C.
made 13 of 49 for a 21 percent marl
ures.

Lenoir Rhyne
It was a close ball game in the early
portions of the second half, in the
battle between the Lenior-Rhyne
Bears and the Elon Christians, when
Harvey Smith entered the fray. All
Harvey did was drop in 10 fast points
and it was Elon’s ball game. The
clasy visitors from Hickory had held
the lead for the most part, but Smith
made the difference. A gentleman
named Leo Kampman also had plenty
to say about the win as he not only
controlled the rebounds but also
dropped 11 points through the hoop.
Fred McCall, Billy Wells and Leo
Kantorski all impressed with the
Bears, who showed some fancy pas
sing and clever ball handling. Al
though the Christians have beaten
Lenoir Rhyne twice, the Hickorymen
have won over a dozen games and
the win was a grand one for Elon.

Elon Takes Two
Fr m W.CJ.C
By Ed Mulford
“Our Team is Red Hot”! That
indeed is the story of the amazing
Elon College basketball team, which
leaiped into third place in the North
State Qonjerence with two hard-
earnde wins over the Western Caro
lina Catamounts this past weekend.
Heroes were a dime a dozen during
the two games as Smih, Kernodle
and Kampman were aces in the first
bame, and Ganes, Savini and Kamp
man, again, starred in the second.
The first battle was a heartbreaker
for the boys from Cullowhee to lose.
Leading all the way, they saw Harvey
Smith, who actually was not hitting
well at all, steal the ball and go
down the court for a layup that tied
the game up at 38-38 and sent it
into overtime. That same Mr. Smith
as well as Ganes and Clayton tallied
in the overtime to give Elon a 44-42
win that had the old “sardine can”
gym of the Christians rocking with
jubilation. McGinn w'as the big gun
for the McConnelmen as he tallied
13 points to lead all scorers.
The tough loss of the night before
must have taken the heart out of
Western Carolina, for Elon was by
far the better team in the second
game as they rolled to a substantial
46-37 win. Lacy Ganes was as hot
as the Key West sun as he racked
off 20 big points for his biggest night
of the season. Elon held a 21-17
half-time lead. Leo Kampman, who
controlled all the rebounds in the
tbrilling first game repeated in the
second game his fine defensive work
insuring the victory.
The two wins gave Elon a confer
ence record of seven wins and five
losses, pushing them ahead of Lenoir-
Rhyne which has a six and six score.
Catawba stands at seven wins and
three loses while Appalachian has
eight and four. High Point and
E. C. T. C. are both still in the
race with .500 records ui four vic
tories and four defeats. As of Feb
ruary 15th Elon had won nine games
and lost the same number.

I. T. K. AND OAK LODGE PACE
intramurals
Although all the teams are racking
up wins in the intramural leagues
two clubs are in the lead and
a.opear the most likely to appear m
the finals. I.T.K. is undefeated m
one league, while Oak Lodge has
only bowed once in the other. E^
is the closest competitor for I. T. K.
in its league having lost but two, both
close battles with the boys in red.
The Oak Lodge team, which features
fast breaks and good pass work has
won several games that were in doubt
until the last minute. Standmgs of
the respective leagues appear on
the bulletin board in the Alamance
Building.
LIBRARY COMPLAINS
Someone is being unfair. Sports re
ports of Elon games in the news
papers in the libraiy are being tom
out. It’s pretty selfish for others
want to read abo«t the games too
Also they ser\'e as a permanemt re
cord as al the papers are kept on
file in the library. Lets cut that out!
