PAGE FOUR MAROON AND GOLD Wednesday, February 28, 1951 Christians Down Appalachian And Lose To High Point In Tournament CAUGHT BEHIND THE PING-PONG BALL The Fighting Christian cagers, exploded with atomic power to blast Appalachian right out of the running wkh a 60 to 54 win in the first round of the eighth annual North State Conference tourna ment in Statesville last Thursday night, but it was a different story in the semi-finals on Frday eve ning when the High Point Pan thers pushed Elon from the lists with a 67 to 60 victory in a drab and dreary game. APPALACHIAN WIN It was sweet revenge for the Christians when they rolled over Appalachian 60 to 54 in that first round game on Thursday night, for the Mountaineers had won seven games in a row from Elon in the past three years. Elon hit with all the suddenness and force of an atomic bomb, rip ping out a 15 to 0 lead in the first minutes of the game. Appalach ian scored her first points at 7:30 of the first half on a basket by Perk Collins. It was Ben Kendall who paced the scoring for the winners, roll ing in six field buckets and four free throws for 16 points, good enough to lead both teams in scor ing. However, it was the defen sive play of the Christians that really stood out, completely halt ing Appalachian’s high scoring bombers through much of the contest.

Larry Gaither, who had turned in a bril liant game the night before, was sidelined that first half with an | earphones ankle injury, and the team never' individual BEN KENDALL GETS ALL-TOURNEY POST Ben Kendall, Elon’s freshman ^uard, was named to one of five first team posts on All-Touma- ment squad chosen at the con clusion of the eighth annual North State Conference meet in Statesville last weekend. Kendall had also been chosen on the All-Conference team for the regular season. ' Other first team All-Touma- ment stars included Bobby Hod ges and Sonny Russell, of East Carolina; Bill Waiz, of High Point; and Ronald Rogers, of Western Carolina. Second team choices were Collie and Fennell, of East Carolina; Graham, of Catawba; Sueta, of High Point; and Sellari, of Lenoir-Rhyne.

He added that if any student wishes to take instruction in pronuncia tion of Italian and Portuguese, as w4ll as Spanish, he would consider it a “happy duty’’ to give it to hiin. It is the hope of the language teachers that the laboratory equipment will be supplemented with later additions of record players equipped with individual tO’ facilitate work on problems without : got to clicking in that first period, terference from others at work. The mysterious marauder of North Dorm is a mystery no more, for the CBI (Campus Bureau of Investigation) got its man on Tuesday afternoon of last week. As far back as November there were reports of jewelry, cloth ing, school supplies and sundry articles disappearing from the cavernous interior of North, and no one could put a hand, nor even a finger, on the guilty party. Circumstantial evidence point ed to a certain youth of sub-col- lege age who was discovered in North under suspicious circum stances, but the youth denied his guilt at that time, and no charges were pressed. Last Tuesday afternoon the same youngster, a 16-year-old former inmate of Jackson Training School, the state reform insti tution near Concord, was caught on the campus again, this time in company with an AWOL para trooper. Both boys were hailed into Alamance Hall for questioning, and Burlington police and the Alamance County sheriff were notified. The police were already on the trail of the AWOL soldier and took him in tow, and the sheriff questioned the 16-year ex-reform school Doy. and got a confession that he had committed the North Dorm thefts and also numerous other petty larcenies in this section. He is being held for trial. College authorities and student government officers were delight ed to know that no Elon students were implicated in the thefts. v;hich closed with 'High Point holding a 37 to 25 lead.

Sigma Phi “B 0 5 .000) There’s some sort of saying about being “caught behind the eight-ball,” and maybe these youthful seniors from Pleasant Grove High never heard of it, but the cameraman certainly caught them behind the ping-pong ball during their visit to the campus for Elon’s annual “High School Day.” The youngsters are watching with interest to see just what keeps that little white ball sus pended in mid-air. Perhaps Professor Hook and his physics students enlightened them on the sub ject, or they may have simply invited the youngsters to come on over to Elon next fall and be initiated into the mysteries (and we do mean mysteries) of the physics lab. Two Cage Squads Still Undefeated Two fast boys’ Intramural cage squads remained undefeated this week as South and I. T. K. con tinued to lead the two campus leagues. South Dorm has won nine battles in a row, while I.T.K. has bowled over eight opponents since the season opened.

(Continued From Page Three) Elon College all-time record for at least another season. It is in teresting to note that Ronie Cates led Elon to the championship of the Conference the year he set his mark. Cates, who is now director of recreation for the City of Bur- Imgton, was a literal jumping jack under the basket as he rolled in point after point during the year. The story was told of Cates’ that he could actually jump high | enough to shoot the ball “down | into the basket,” and those who saw Cates play wil swear that such was the truth. The lanky Elon center hit dou ble figures in his scoring in all except two of the 26 games that the Fighting Christians played lhat season. Appalachian held him to six points in a low-scoring game, which Elon won 34 to 32. and the Cherry Point Jlarines lim ited him to eight markers in a battle, which Elon won by a 44 to 40 margin. The big boy's top effort for a single game netted him 36 points as Elon downed Atlantic Christi an 72 to 61. He rolled in four teen field goals and eight free shots in that game, and. so far as -he records are available, this score holds as Elon’s all-time high score for a single-game. The total statistics for the 1947 season show that Cates ripped the -iets for 163 field goals and 76' free throws in counting his regu- lar-season total of 412 points and then added 15 field goals and 151 fcul shots in the Conference tour ney, giving a full total of 183 field buckets and 91 free tlirows in the entire season. ^ A game-by-game record on Ronie Cates’ all-time Elon record is shown below, including the name of opponent played, with field goals, free throws and total points in each contest: Opponent Cates Scoring FG FT TP Danville Stars 10 2 Cherry Point 5 1 Cherry Point 4 2 Danville Stars 14 3 31 Greensboro “Y”. 9 1 19 Hanes Hosiery 9 2 20 McCrary 7 2 16 Appalachian 4 2 10 Lenoir-Rhyne 4 2 10 Catawba 8 6 22 McCrai-y 6 3 15 Hanes llosiery 7 7 21 A.C.C 14 8 36 Appalachian 2 2 6 Catawba 4 4 High Point 8 4 Lenoir-Rhyne 1 12 24 Cherry Point 6 9 Cherry Point 3 2 Guilford 12 1 High Point 5 5 Guilfoi’d 8 3 A.C.C. § 3 A.C.C.
