Elsewhere about the campus we
find much excitement and spirit
exploding in the intramural basket
ball program for this year. Intra
mural football reached to new
heights of interest this fall, and it
seems that the campus cage pro
gram will do the same.
The intramural basketball this
winter shows two very strong
leages. the National and American
circuits. In the American loop we
find such strong combinations
fighting for top rank as the Caro

Campus Cagers
Hit High Scores
Season scoring records at both
team and individual levels were
set for the intramural basketball
leagues when the Carolina Comets
recently trampled the Packers 110
to 39. with George Owen pacing
the Comet assault on the basket
when he bucketed 40 points.
The Comets’ team score of 110
points and George Owen’s 40-point
total were tops for this season and
the best in Elon intramural play
since Lewis Robertson, now grid
coach at Alamance Southern High,
hit 52 points while pacing Iota
Tau Kappa to a 113 to 52 victory
in ooe of the campus games in

Wonderful school spirit was
shown at the recent basketball
game with East Carolina. Why
can’t we have it all the time?
Are we only to see this at times
when we are winning or on the
top? It would be so very easy to
carry some of that spirit over
from the winning game to our
everyday campus life. We did
not win, but the boys certainly
deserve a big hand for a very
thrilling game.
Beginning this month a "Safe

Student Body. The selection will
be made by the Student Council,
C. G, Hall, chairman. This "Safe

by the Juinor Chamber of Com
merce. The Elon student selected
the second week of each month
will be presented between 2 and

Jug Irvin, the BurkesviUe bomb
er who has paced the Elon scoring
attack in most of the early-^eason
cage battles this season, is one of
the top scorers in the North State
Conference as the 1961 canTOaign
moves into its final phase.
Irvin, one of the finest compet
itors to wear an Elon uniform in
years, leads the Christian squad
with 371 points in 18 games, giv
ing him an average of 20.6 points
per game, which is more than a
full point ahead of Dee Atkinson’s
all-time Elon average of 19.3
points per game in a single season.
Captain Ken Smith, who has
rung up 284 points in 17 games,
shows an average of 16.7 points
per game, being the only other
Christian player average in double
figures. However, several of the
Elon players have been above the
ten point mark in individual
games during the season.
The Christians, who have won
ten of their first eighteen battles,
have scored a total of 1.347 points
for an average of 74.8 points per
game, while allowing the opposi
tion 1.322 points for an average of
74.5 points per game. The most re
cent North State averages showed
Elon ranking third in team scor
ing.
Irvin and Smith are also leading
the Christian Cagers in grabbing
rebounds off the boards, with
Irvin showing an 11.7 and Smith
an 11.4 average in the rebound
columns. The squad as a whole is
averaging 40.1 rebounds per game.
