Elon baseball attack, continued to
lead the Christian regulars at the
plate in averages figured last

With the Christians showing a
t5-4 mark in wins and losses
through last Saturday, Coach
Jack Sanford's crew had no other
regulars above the .300 mark, al
though Tony Cdrcatcrra was
pushing close at a .296 clip. The
Christian squad as a whole was
baiting .244, compared with .174
for all opponents.
Watt.'- was also leading the tquad
in runs-batted-in and in homers.

A wild-life club siiould really
prove a fine thing here at Elon.

there is a very successful one,
which stages a big field day every
years, with skeet-shooting, cast

rccords were set as the Chn.stian Raillvetl
cindermen turned back the At- j
luntic Christian tracksters 95 to
36 on the Burlington Stadium track
on Saturday morning, April 18th,
The Christians won thirteen of
the fifteen first places in winning
the victoi-y.
Both the new Elon records came
in the weight events, with Frank
■More tossing the discus 117 feet
5 inches to break a mark that
was set by Bob Edmiston back in
1950, and with Hank Carmines
throwing the javelin 164 feet 3
inches to better the old mark that
was .set by Mai Bennett in 1953,
Alf Plaster, Elon distance man,
copped three first places to lead
the scoring for the Elon squad,
grabbing wins in the half mile,
mile and ^wo mile runs. Eddie
Burke and Larry Gregg were o'.her
high scorers, with Burke winning
both hurdles and tying for first
in the high jump. Gregg won the
broad jump, tied for first in the
high jump, got second in the high
hurdles and took thirds in both'
dashes.

neat three-hit mound perform
ance.
It mattered not that ,!unior Bau-
com, Lenoir Rhyne pitcher, al
so turned in a three-hit job ainst
the Christians, for one of Elon's
three safeties came at just the
right spot in the third inning
v. hen two rtien were on the sacks.
Don Lichok and Eddie Clark
walked to open Elon's half of the
third, and Gil Watts banged a
ingle that sent Lichok racing
home with the counter that clinch
ed the victory in the North State
Conference contest.
It was a sweet victory for Gary
Henson, who grew up and played
his high school .sports at Granite
Falls, which is a close neighbor
of the Lenoir Rhyne campus. Be
cause of that fact the stocky Chris
tian left-hander has always got
a special bang out of turning back
tlie Bi ars.
Henson pitched only ninety-nine
balls in chalking his victory and
faced only thirty-two batters. In
addition to the three hits, he is
sued a couple of walks, but only
twice during the game could Le
noir Rhyne get men as tar as
second base.
The Christian mound star also
got one of the three singles cre

off the bats of Watts and Ted
