Sanf'd Succumbs
To E/on, 16^3
The Fighting Christians of Elon
College ran rough house over Sanford
on the letter’s field last Friday, April
9, defeating the Spinners 16-3.
Frank Roberts and C. K. Siler com
bined mound duties to scatter eleven
hits. The Fighting Christians pound
ed three Sanford pitchers unmerci
fully for thirteen hits and a big
seven run ninth inning to complete
the humiliation.
Haynes opened the ball game with
a single and scored moments later as
Poole singled to deep short and Hank
Nesslerod drove a bingle through the
infield to score Haynes. The Spinnerr
touched Robers for another run in
the fourth as Owens doubled. Payne
singled and Ham doubled to score
both runners.
In the meantime. Coach Jian Mal
lory’s crew were having a big second
inning scoring four runs. Lou Savini
was hit by a pitched ball and went
to third as Billy Matze reached safely
on an error by Haynes. Then with two
ROMe, Roberts walked to load the
bases and Dick York promptly sent
a long double to the left-center field
wall scoring Savini and Matze. Steve
Walkcir followed suit on the very next
-pitch to score Roberts and York with
the final two runs of the inning tc
literally sew up the ball game.
The Spinners countered their third
and final tally in the ninth as Siler
walked Nesslerode and Owens and
Kunkle doubled.
For the Fighting Christians, York
and DeSimone had three hits apice
and Walker, Ellis and Caviness two
apiece to lead the attack. Both Cavin-
oss and DeSimone had two long
double.
Centerfielder Payne had three
safeties for the Spinners.
It was the fourth victory in as rnany
appearances for Elon’s robust right
hander, fireballer Frank Roberts who
pave up six hits and two runs in his
five inning mound chore. Siler who
worked the last four turned in an
pouallv good performance allowing
five hits and a lone tally and, al
though he showed signs of wildness |
the young freshman right hander
fanned six.

He gives—yea, he gives of the wisdom
he has gained in the ascent. He offers
it as an oblation to God! Not only
does he offer it for himself, but also
for me, for you, for the whole group
of worshippers. “The Lord shall pre
serve thy going out and thy coming
in. . So that must be your service:
render, of course, render it, but not
merely as a rendition, but as an offer

and with the holiest feeling you can
muster. Then like the poet who att
ained the mountain top giving of his

your listeners, to the mountain top.
