Bill Palkovics, left, and Marty Collins, right, two newcomers to the Elon CoUeije basketball
squad this year, were teammates on the strong junior college squad which represented Edwards
Militai-y Institute last year, and they elected to continue- their relationship when both donned Elon’s
Maroon and Gold colors this year. Palkovics, who stands six feet and hail; from Elizabeth, N. J.,
has played both guard and forward for the Chri.stians this win'er: while Collins, also six feet
in height and hailing from Queens, N. Y., has played at a guard post.

Watts’ Free Tlirow Gets
Elon Win Over Pfeiffer
A charity throw by Captain Gil
bert VI alts with barely five sec
onds on the clock gave the Fight
ing Christian capers a spine-ting
ling 69 to 68 vict. iy over the Pfeif
fer Panthers in Alumni Memorial
Gymnasium here on Monday
night, February 2nd.
It was Elon's second victory over
Pfeiffer this season, foi the Chris
tians had won a pre-Christmas
battlo on the Panther floor by ar.
33 to 77 count, but this second
win did not come without a hit
ler battle.
The lead and scorin;; drives al
ternated during the fray so that
Elon apparently lost the tussle,
thrn won It and lost again and
thi'n made the win final on Cap
tain Watts’ perfect free throw.
The game was close through the
first seven minutes, but the Pan
thers hit a hot streak and moved
io a commanding 31-20 margin
with barely eight minutes left of
the half. It was at that point
that Elon caught fire and regained
the edye by intermission.
In that final eight minutes of
the first half the Christians count
ed 20 points while Pfeiffer could
4et only four, and it was Elon by
40-35 at the halt. Gil W.itts and
Steve Wall bucketed three field
’oals each in this big drive.
It was Elon ahead by four or
five points through the early min
utes of the second half, and the
Christians stretched their lead to
ten at 58-48 with nine minutes re
maining. At that point both Oak
ley and Burke fouled out Within
a minute, and Carcaterra follow
ed them to the sidelines some min
utes later, leaving the Christians
without a tall man on the floor.
With Richard Biddy and Phil
Stone pacing the attack, the Pan
thers then rebounded to tie the
score at 68-all with-less than two

a favorable indication of what'.s

DC Mathis’ cagers.
[|In the individual scoring depail-
aent, lanky Eddie Burke, a six-
|)Jt-six sophomore from Burling-
XI, has been leading the parade
Jll season. In pre-Christmas con-
Ifits Burke managed to maintain
a better than 20-point average.
_At the present time, after sus-
jning two injuries, one to his
wt and the other to his back.
It big forward still has a point-
[ production that hangs at the 15-
point mark or better.
Just two years ago Eddie was
[an All-State selection at Williams
Jigh in Burlington, where he was
I consistent 20-point per game
^•orer and the leading rebounder
>n the team as a center. At that
me he was one of the most
ought-after prep stars in the state,
lis great speed, matched with his
^coring and rebounding ability,
caused him to be considered by
pome high school coaches as the
|top player in the state.
Here at Elon, Burke has many
jlimes shown his potential, but he
'as also seemed sometimes to lack
confidence on other occasions. This
'as, perhaps, prevented him from
lisplaying his fuU capabilities, but
there is evidence of continuing im
provement.
Tony Carcaterra, the rugged 6-4
ceater for the Christians, has done
a Herculean job under the bacl»
boards for the Elon cagers. so
good in fact that he has led the
Conference in rebounding all sea

Senior captain, Gil Watts, has
been breathing hard on the 10-
point average, but Gil’s floor game
has been more valuable than his
scoring, for he has been particu
larly cagey in constantly stealing
the ball on passes and dribbles.

Elon Quintet
The Lenoir Rhyne Bears, de
fending champions in the North
State (I^nference, hit one of their
hottest nights of the season as
they posted a decisive 89 to 57
victory over the Elon College bas-
keteers at Hickory on Tuesda«r
night. January 27th.
The Bears, who were at that
time, running third behind West
ern Carolina and High Point in
he. 1959 Conference race, made
good on 53 per cent of their floor
shot-s as they romped to their 32-
point margin, and that eagle-eye
jhootiBg was just too much for
the invading Christians.
The Maroon-jerseyert Elon cag
ers managed to keep it close
through the early minutes of th‘
game, but the Bears edged ahead
it 10-9 after seven minutes of
play, and from that point they
gradually stretched the margin.
They were leading by 15 points
at 42-27 as the first half ended..
Tony Carcaterra, Elon s pivot
star, led both teams in scoring for
the night as he bucketed six field
goals and an equal number of free
throws for IB points. He was ably
assisted by Marsh Oakley, Elon
forward, who counted 14 points
for the night, but no other Chris
tian could ftad the range con
sistently.
