PITCH ER BASES ON BALLS — Watts With timely hitting and a fine or>e-hit pitching job by Gil Watts, the Elon Christians turned back Catawba 4 to 3 here last Saturday afternoon to keep Elon’s Maroon and Gold colors still waving high on the North State Conference championship pole. It was the second consecutive North State baseball title for the Christian nine, who posted a final Conference record of 14-2 in wins and losses, one of the Elon wins being a forfeit from Appalachian. The Catawba outfit got the second spot with a 12-4 record, which in cluded three foreifts from Appa lachian. High Point and East Car olina. The forfeits in each case came on a ruling by Dr. C. R. Hinshaw. Conference commissioner, and they were ruled on rained-out games *hich the other teams refused to re-schedule in the late season. The North State rules say that any rained-out baseball game which oears on the championship race must be played. The Elon victory over Catawba was a seven-inning fray that came as a replay of a 4-all tie battle Catawba could have tied up the loop race by winning this game, and such a situation would have resulted in a second seven-inning tilt as part of a double bill. No second game was needed after Elon won the opener. The Christians were away in Iront on two runs in the first as they tallied on a walk, a fielder's; choice, a triple t>y Gil Watts and a single by Tony Carcaterra. Ca tawba came back to grab the lead in the top of the second when the Indians tallied three times with out a hit on a pair of walks and three Elon errors. The Christians knotted the count in the bottom of the second on two walks, a single by Marion Har grove and a sacrifice fly by George Allen. The winning run hit the plate in the fourth on a walk, a sacrifice by Larry Bulla and a double by Gil Watts. Watts had the hero role with his One-hit mound job and a double and triple in four tries, but Mar ion Hargrove and Bobby Sharpe each had two singles in the Elon attack. J. T. Davis got Catawba's lone safety. The score by innings: r h e Catawba 030 000 0—3 1 2 Frazier, Davis (6) and Miller; Elen 210 100 X—4 8 4 Watts and Hargrove.

Students who volunteered (or tte class were given reading tests and divided into two groups under the direction of Professors McCantj and Benson. The classes met tliree times a week for one hour at each session. At each class meeting the st\i. dents were given a combination sp^cd and comprehension test and paragraphs to read aimed primar ily at developing comprehension. During the remaining part of each class period students worlied on exercises suited to their particu lar reading problems. Results of the experimeBiil classes were very gratifying. Nine- teen students begaii the classes with thirteen students completing the course. The average increase in words read per minute fct those students completing the course was 249 with a slight gain in comprehension. One student increased his read ing rate from 250 words per min ute to 750 words per minute, ai increase of 500 words while hi! comprehension increased [rom 37 per cent to 100 per cent. The next greatest increase was 360 words per minute with a 15 per cent in crease in comprehension. The Guidance Commiltee, in view of the results obtained from the experimental classes, recom mends that reading classes be es tablished in the future for those freshmen who show a need cn the English placement test for im provement in reading rate and comprehension. singles in four attempts, but both Watts and Henson had a brace of singles, and Tony Carcaterra roc- othy Keck, Burlmgton; Jackie (Catawba), Newcomb.
