Eight Teams Will Battle
In Tourney At Statesville
The Elon Christians and the i Rhyne at 4 o’clock Thursday; Elon
.Appalachian Mountaineers took vs Catawba at 7:30 o'clock Thurs-
the two top-seeded positions fori day night; and Appalachian vs
the ninth annual Conference bas- Guilford at 9 o’clock Thursday
The winners of these four games
ketball tournament, which is to
get underway at Statesville at 2:30
o’clock Thursday afternoon, with
eight of the nine teams in the Con
ference battling for the 1952 loop
title.
It was something new in the
annals of the Conference when
Elon and Appalachian tied for
the first place in regular season
games, so the Christians and the
Mountaineers had to draw for the
brackets, with Appalachian going
to the upper and Elon to the low
er bracket.
The third-place Pirates of East
Carolina and the fourth - place
Panthers of High Point then drew
for the middle positions on the
bracket, with East Carolina going
into the Appalachian group and
High Point in the lower bracket
with Elon.
Once the four seeded teams were
plaoed, the other Ibur entries
were drawn to themi with first-
round battles pairing High Point
vs Western Carolina at 2:30 o'clock
Thursday; East Carolina vs Lenoir-
will battle in two semi-finals
ames on Friday night, followed
by the final championship contest
at 8 o'clock on Saturday night.
The Elon and Appalachian
teams, which tied for first seed
ing this year, have each gone into
one previous tournament with a
first-place rating. The Christi
ans were see.ded first in 1941,
while Appalachian was rated tops
as the tournament opened in 1947.
Neither team got by the first
round games in those two years.
If all four seeded teams come
through the first round of play
at Statesville on Thursday, then
the semi-finals of the Conference
tourney will be a replay of the
Carolinas NAIB meet, which got
underway here at Elon on Mon-
:iay of this week. However, the
pairing will be slightly different,
and the finals of Saturday night
will have to show a different pair
of teams from the ones which
play the finals of the NAIB meet
here at Elon tonight.
The Elon Christians, after i
clinching their NAIB tournament
berth by defeating Guilford last I
Thursday night, wound up their,
regular season schedule 'oy meet
ing the Lenoir Rhyne Bears in
Hickory on Saturday night.
The Maroon and Gold cagers,
according to available statistics,
became the first team in Elon
history to win more than twenty
games in the regular season. They
have also set both team and indi
vidual scoring records.
