The Elon Christians ran into
trouble in their opening Confer
ence game with High Point here
last Friday afternoon, and, in spite
of the fact that Coach Jack San
ford rushed 25 playert into the
fray in an effort to find a win
ning combination, the Panthers
grabbed an 11-4 deci:»ion and got
away to a winning start on their
North State season.
It was the firsi High Point vic
tory over an Elon baseball team
in many years. In fact, the Hign
Point students were saying on their
own campus that night that it waf>
the first Panther baseball win over
the Christians in twenty years.
Coach Tirgil Yow did not use
a substitute, and he let Bobby
Gurley go the full route on the
mound with quite effective results.
Gurley allowed onl»' five scattered
liits and struck out seven Elon 1
batsmen during his nine-inning
stint on the mound. i
A big six-run second inning by i
Higfi Point proved Elon's undoing.
Gil Watts, righthander, fanned the
side in the first frame, but he
ran into trouble quickly in the
second.
Gurley led off the inning with
a single and Davis walked. After
Ivey fouled out to the catcher,
Paul Jones doubled to score Gur
ley with the first Panther run.
Watts then walked Formyduval
and Svvaim to load the sacks, and
Harold Watson unloaded a dou-
