UnlU last week. It waa be
ginning to look as If Elon College
would go through a whole school
year without winning Conference
laurels in at least CMie of the
sports, and it had been a number
of years since such d thing had
occurred.
Just when it seemed that such
a fate was in store, the Christian
linksmen came through in fine
-style at the North State Confer
ence golf tournament, which was
held over the course of the Star
mount F«rest Country Club in
Greensboro. The Elon team com
piled a team score of 621. which
enabled them to bring home the
links crown for the first time
since 1956.
Freddie Lloyd, the fine senior
golfer from Durham, won Indivi
dual honors for the tournament
Lloyd shot rounds of 73 iftd 74
over the difficult par-72 Star
mount course, and he would have
been a threat for the tournament
record of 140 forthe 36 holes,
last year by Pat Brady, of Guil
ford, except that the first ftJur or
five holes gaves him a lot of trou
ble, and he had to play sub-par
golf on the remaining holes to
make such fine scores as he did.
It might be noted that Ben Ho
gan called Starmount’s first four
holes the toughest starting holes
in the country. Also, Freddies
■winning performance was well
backed up by the three remain
ing members of the team Jim FO"
gleman, another fine senior play
er from Burlington, shot a two-
round score of 80-74 and tied for
fourth place at 1^. Buddy Briggs
had rounds of 81-76 for lf>7, and
Eddie Hughes had rounds of 84-
7d icm ^ members af the
V
Elon squad shot in the 70’s tor
the final day of action.
The Lenoir Rhyne team, which
copped second place, totalled a
635 5core, 14 strokes back of the
Christians, and that margin of
Elon. victory made this 1959 team
reminissent of the great squad of I jj^^ipate in three different ,
1956, known throughout the state ^„rtain that no'up by tying the all-time Elon rec
as the 4-L’s-Loy, Lloyd, Leigh-[ sports, but .t_|s cerU n
ton and Landress. It was this team
basketball and baseball, but thi
Elon senior class of 1959 can claim
one of greatest of the all-round
sUrs in big Tony Careaterra.
He tjecomes only the second
Eton athlete in the past ten years
to win letters in three sports, the
only other such Christian star be
ing Paul Watts, who turned fie
trick by winning the t>lock •
in football, baseball and u >cic.
Records are mcomplete regard
ing the exact number of Elon stars
since the 1920’s, and it is doubt-, sea^^ns for more tha/i half
fol whether those aces ot the ^ ^ yardage gained.

which went through the entire two-
day Tournament without ever
shooting in the 80’s, all rounds
being in the 70's. That team never
lost a dual meet with any ot its
Soes.
The other spring sports did not
fare as weU in the Conference
competition as did the golf team
for none of them were able to
take Conference honors. The base
ball team, which did finish as
runner-up, vacated its North State
baseball title to East Carolina af
ter a two-year reign. After los
ing the final game to the Pirates
at Greenville by a 7-2 score, the
Christians bad a 11-4 loop mark
and smaU chance of overhauling
the Pirates. However, this 1959
Elo« team had a better overall
record than did last year's team.,
