out the validity of that saying. It
My grandfather had worked
hard to help me through school.
My grandmother labored just as
diligently to see to it that I had
a real nice jacket to wear when
I got to school. She made me a
tan coat and put a warm, red lin
ing in it. No store bought coat
looked as snappy. My overcoat
wasn’t as protective. I was very
proud of my jacket with the bright
red lining.
I was all set. I had money to go
to Elon. I had a sharp coat. I had
a lot of noble ideas. One of them
was to help take up collection in
church on Sundays. I thought I
was doing all right at little old
Elon.
After the first church service,
one of the administration’s guard
ians of the coeds (dean, to you)
sidled up to me and allowed as
to how, “Young man, I don’t think
much of that coat of yours in
church.”
Ti^noring that as politely as I
could, I smiled and said, "Oh,
but I just admire that hairdo of
yourVis. Matches the Elon school
colors so well, too."
That was the soft answer that
turned away wrath, but maybe I
didn’t read all of the proverb.
What comes after wrath?

Elon’s Baseball
Cagers Had Fine Record
fCoBtinui-'d from Page Thi-ee)
:arlrd off in the 103S season with
one of the most outstanding coach-
in? carecrs in Conference annals.
His 1938 team, with 19 wins
and'2 locses, boasted the best sin
gle-season mark in Elon history,
at least from a percentage point
of view, although some of the
terms of the 1950’s won more
games in a single campaign. That
1938 team, which gained its second
straight Conference title, opened
the five-year Hendrickson regimt
in fine style.
It is interesting to note the tab
ulated record of the Hendricksor
teams for the five years just prior
to World War II. The season-by-

New prospects in the infield In-

on, at second base or shortstop;
lack Cavanaitgh, at third base;
Terry Martin, at short; and Tom-
ny Hawkins, manager of the 1959
eam, who could see service at
hort Or third.
Jug Irvin, who came to Elon
as a basketballer at the mid-year,
iromises to see much service in
the outfield. Irvin played at Camp-
bel'sville Junior College at Ken
tucky under Coach Bill Miller.
Other newcomers to the outfield
111' are Charlie Maidon, who
starred in football for four years
but has never played with the
Christian baseballers in previous
season, along with freshman John
Guariglio, sophomore Leonard
Riddle and junior Grady Tuck, all
of whom are making their first
tries at baseball at Elon.
The 30-game schedule will get
underway with eight games dur
ing the final ten days of March,
ieven of the eight tilts being card
ed for Elon’s home field. Williams
College, which has been an an
nual visitor on the Elon campus
for many years, is the first oppo
nent and will be met in the two
opening games on March 21st and
22nd
The same period netted 52 wins
and only 12 losses in the NortI
State Conference, and that 1938
team got away to a big start by
winning 11 of 12 in the loop to
clinch the crown. Only Conference
loss was to Lenoir Rhyne at Hic
kory, but High Point was the real
contender for the crown as Elov
topped the Panthers 35-33 anc'
32-31 in close games.
A special feature of this 1938
season was a highly successful
northern trip, during which Elon
won five and lost one. Victoric'
on the trip were over Washin
ton and Lee, V.M.I., Newport News
.Apprentice, St. Johns and Ran
riolph Macon, with the only loss
to George Washington.
The 1938 Players
This 1938 team, with its finest
mark in Elon history, placed Cap
tain Hal Bradley, Uoyd Whitley
and Richard “Red” Cromlish on
the AU-Conference team, with
Bradley named most outstanding
player in the loop. Other squad
members were Ike Fesmire, Joh
Causey, Jim Abbitt, Ben Lilien
and Claude Lawrence. Scoring in
those pre-war years was not so
high as after the war, and Whi
ley led the squad for the year
with 172 points.
The 1939 team, which featurec'
four freshmen and one sophomore
also proved outstanding, finishing
with a 10-2 Conference mark, bare
ly half a game behind title-win
ning High Point. The 1939 total
record was 19-(5 for the season.
Freshman Jack Gardner topped
the scoring with 204 points, trailed
by Captain Ike Fesmire and soph
omore John Henry Pierce. Gard
ner won first All-Ck>nference hon
ors and received the Fix Award
as outstanding Elon player, while
Fesmire copped second all-loop
rating. Lloyd Whitley, twice All
Conference, missed much of the
year due to illness.
The Maroon and Gold squad of
1940 won 19 and lost 3 games, with
Captain Lloyd Whitley topping the
play with 214 points, closely push
ed by Jack Gardner with 202
counters. Both were named to the
All-Conference squad. Again the
Christians were second in the Con
ference with an 11-3 mark, trail
ing the Appalachian cagers who
led the league.
Elon’s 1941 team was 20-4 over
all and 12-2 in the Conference
and won first place in the North
State regular-season standings,
only to fall victim to the new rul
ing that gave the title to the loop
tourney winners. After defeating
L«noir Rhyne in first round of
tourney play, the Christians went
down before Appalacihan in the
semi-finals. Jack Gardner set a
new Conference scoring mark with
342 points and gained his third
AU-CIonference berth, also copping
the loop’s outstanding player hon
or and Elon’s annual Fix Award
The 1942 season, last before
World War II, was also the final
year for Coach Hendrickson. The
'.hristisns showed 17-5 for the sea
son and 8-4 in the Conference,
but the team was hit hard when
Gardner and Towns entered arm
ed service. Warren Burns and Er
nie Johns topped the scoring of
the final pre-war team.
Thus ended the brilliant years
under Coaches Walker and Hend
rickson, which had produced a
record of 209 wins and 99 losses
overall and 106 wins and 30 losses
in Conference play. Outstanding
players of the Middle Period had
included such stars as Dan Long
Newman, “Country” Rollins, Dick
Caddell, Ken Hughes, Paul Roye,
Hal Bradley, Lloyd WhiUey. “Red
