We also have a fascinating set of ground rulei. Anybody pounding a ball into the oak cree at third base shall be out. the Elons declared. This gave Elon a decid d advantage in baseball over its opponents, for it allowed a 10th man on the field. The oak tree played third base By the fourth year o( the tree's Infield career, its reach was amaz- mK It yielded for no line drives and It covered more ground than the occasionally errant regular third baseman who. of course, was only human Being honest about uligibllity, the Elons decided that the oak had to give up playing baseball in Jis senior year.

Two walks, a hit batsman and three singles by Cheek. Holmes and Jerry Pike furnished the power for the fourth-inning rally.

Group Busy Duriiig Past Month The Elon Lambda Chapter of Sigma Mu Sigma has been busily engaged during the past month in a number of campus activities, including both social activities and [service projects for the college or commuity. Most significant of the projects sponsored and carried out by Sig ma Mu Sigma during the period was service in the recent com- r.'iunity drive to collect Cancer Fund donations in the Elon Col lege community. The recently ini- tiated members carried out tliis collection drive, working under the direction of Larry Biddle, who termed/the work a complete suc cess. The members of the fraternity have also been serving as ushers for the recent Lyceum programs held here, and they also served as ushers for the dedication program of the Elon College organ, which was attended by perhaps the larg- €st crowd ever to pack into Whit ley Memorial Auditorium. Aside from these service pro jects, Sigma Mu Sigma has held several successful and enjoyable social gatherings in recent weeks, and plans are underway n°w for the chapter’s annual banquet on Saturday, May 12th.
