It was Ben Kendall, however, who really had the fans talking. The Kokomo driver was never bet ter on his jumps and drives.

Taking full advantage of their /one defense to get rebounding position, the tall Christian inside men maintained almost complete control of the backboards all night. Ed Juratic played one of his most effective rebound games, and he received able aid from Dee At kinson, Frank DeRita and Ben Kendall. Four Christians ware in dou ble figures for the night, with Juratice out front with 28 points. Other Elon leaders were Atkinson, Kendall and DeRita. Carvel Nich ols led the Pirates with 15 points, but the East Carolina outfit was unable to match the hot-shooting Christians, who hit better than 49 per cent of their shots. The line-ups— POK.

It was hail to the champs as Elon mixed a nevei^say-die spirit with tight defense to turn back Lenoir Rhyne’s Bears 71 to 67 in an over-time battle, clinching the Conference title for the Maroon and (Sold. The Christians had their hot test night of the tournament from the floor as they sank 29 of 52 shots for a 55.8 percentage, and Elon’s tall boys allowed Bob Ort myer and Raeford Wells only three rebound shots all night. The rivals started slowly, and Elon led by a single point after ten minutes. At that time the Christians hit a hot streak and hammered out a 37-32 margin in the next five minutes. They went out at the half with a 39-29 lead. Lenoir Rhyne regained the front midway the final half, but Elon rallied for a final 59-all tie and won the game witli a 12-point splurge in the over-time. Dee Atliinson topped the scor ing with 17 points, and DeRita, Whitley and Kei^dall were all in double figures, but the story of the win wa.>i written in the re bounding of Atkin.son and Juratic and the floor play of Kendall and Whitley.

Surprisingly good girls’ basket ball was dished up to a small but interested crowd last Saturday when the Women’s Athletic Asso ciation of Elon College, directed by Mrs. Jeanne Griffin, played host to basketball groups from Woman’s CoUegje, Pfeiffer Col lege and Guilford College. It was an all-day event, an nounced in advance as a "Basket ball Play Day,” and it turned out to be just that. In fact a total of fix very interesting games were reeled off between 10 o’clock Sat urday morning and 4 o’clock that aftrnoon. Each of the four groups played three games, meeting every other group in a complete round-robin schedule. The Woman’s CoUege girls, making a clean sweep of their three games, emerged with the best record. Trailing in that order were Pfeiffer, Guilford and Elon. The home-s'tanding Elon las sies, who had been together as a team for only four days prior to entering the competition on Saturday, found themselves over shadowed by the other three squads, each of which had partici- .pated in a number of games with other schools prior to the Satur day "Play Day.” In fact, one of the visiting squads had been to gether as a unit for ten games during the year, and the resultant teamwork proved too much for the Christian lassies. The Woman’s College girls de feated Pfeiffer 32-30, turned back Elon 24-21 andi then defeated Guilford 25-24 in grabbing top honors. Other games were just as close, with Pfeiffer defeating Guilford 29-26 and turning back Elon 26-22 to finish in the second spot. The Guilford squad won from Elon by a 21-16 margin in a defensive battle. Polly Payne proved the' out standing^ scorer for the Elon girls, racking 30 points in the three games to emerge as one of the stars of the day. The Elon guards, iiowever, played exceptionally well, with Oneta Frye, Evelyn Fritts and Jennie Keck doing out standing work. The visiting girls from the other three colleges were guests of the Elon group at lunchon at the noon hour, and the day’s program was concludell wSth the serving of drinks and cookies after the final game in the afternoon. Both the visitors and the hosts were unani mous in proclaiming the day an unqualified success. Players To Give Church Pageants The Elon College Players, sto- dent dramatic erovp, after pre senting three foU-length plays on the campos this year, will find a full schedole dnrine the Spring Quarter in the presenta- tton by the eronp of two reli- iriODfi pageants. The first program slated by the Players will be an Easter program, whStch will be offered as the feature portion of the an neal "Snnris* Service,” which is to be given on the Elon cam pus on Easter morning. This pa geant, plans for which are on- derway, will be boilt around the rei^.'crrection of Jesofi Christ. The second religions presen tation by the Players this spring will be historical pageant to be given at the centennial meeting of the Sonthem Convention of Congitegational C h ristian Churches. This centennial gath ering is to be held at the Union Ridge Chorch north of Burling ton on May 1-3, and the pageant is planned to portray the his- totv'of the denomination. Both iMgeftnte nUl be directed by Prof. M. E. Wooten. The Elon College librar>- right in line with the “Best S.'. er” lists. That fact was r»ve£ in a recent cheek made of s ing "Best Seller” listing and t books on the shelves of the col lege library. P>ractically everj- on the list was found on uj, shelves. A sampling of the best-seUer. books found on the Elon '.ibrsrj shelves includes books of fictioa, travel, -dJscovery, politics and po^ ■try. Typical of the fiction is Flan nery O’Connor’s “A Good Man Ij Hard to Find,” a ccUection of tsn outstanding short stories by a young Southern woman, whc mad« her mark with a first novel bsci in 1952.' The travel shelf includes He^ bert Kubly’s “American in Italj, which tells the story of a fctji. teen-month sojourn in Italy by one of America’s Fulbright sehol^. Closely related to the travel cete- gory is Edmund Wilson' '"me Scrolls From The Dead Sea,” in which the author describes one of the most exciting manv'cript finds of the modem era. It tellj of the discovery in 1947 of ancient Dead Sea scrolls, all of which beat important significancp In the In the field of politics if Alan Barth’s “CJovemraent bj Investigation,” in which the v,Tit- er gives thorough and obiMtive examination of the right of Om- gress to investigate American cit izens for various reasons.

Other Christian leaders were Ed Juratic, Earl Stone and Ray Whitley with 14 each and Ben Kendall with 12 points.
