ITK Takes Intramural
Regular-Season Croivn
H\LL iS VEJEHAN UL I FIELDEK Elon Outfit Wilis Two
Of Three Over Violets
The ITK Blacks held on to their
leadership in the Intramural bas
ketball league as the season offi
cially came to a close last week,
posting a 13-0 record in wins and
losses. Through an error, the loop
standings of two weeks ago were
listed as final for the season, but
the final two weeks produced little
change in the ranking of the teams.
The Sigma Phi Golds also re
tained their rank as runner-up in
the loop with an 11-2 mark, but
East Dorm moved up in late-season
games to claim a three-way tie
with Alpha Pi Reds and the Raiders
for the third spot, and the three
teams were to battle in a play-off
series early this week for the third
and fourth spots in the post-season
tournament.
The ITK Blacks, in addition to
claiming the percentage standings,
also posted the highest score of the
season when they romped for 118
points in winning a battle from the
Alpha Pi Greys. The Alpha Pi Greys
were also the victims of the two
best defensive efforts of the year,
for both the Snakes and the Casta
ways limited the Greys to 16 points
in single games.
Team Scoring Marks
The ITK Blacks also held on to
their top scoring average in the
loop in the final twt) weeks and
finished their unbeaten season with
an average of 67,1 points per game.
Other teams in the top five in aver
age scoring were the Sigma Phi
Golds with 59.3, East Dorm with
59.1, the Raiders with 47.8 and Al
pha Pi Reds with 46.6 averages for
the entire season.
The top five defensive teams as
the season closed were the league-
leading ITK Blacks, who allowed
barely 34.5 points per game to all
opponents. Others with top defens
ive marks were Kappa Psi Nu with
34.9, Alpha Pi R«d with 35.1, the
Castaways with 36.8 and the Sigma
Phi Golds with 38.9 defensive aver

Danny Hall, stocky little junior outfielder from Leaksville, is the
nlv lett"rman availible for outfield duty this season, although veteran
Mike Little may shift from catching to the outfield to add experience
in the outer gardens. Despite his small size. Hall belts the ball with
power that belies his poundage. He smacked five homers last season,
four of them coming within a space of three consecutive games. He
also rocked out a brace of homers during his freshman campaign.
The Fighting Christian baseball. |
ers grabbed two victories out of i
three games with the New York I j Baseball Schedule
University Violets as they opened ^ ~
the 1963 diamond campaign. The
Maroon and Gold nine grabbed the
first of the three-game series, drop
ped a hard-fought second encoimt
and then won the third battle
with the outfit from the big city.
The first day of the new season
o:iw the Christians hit well and
field in the same fashion to grab a
to to 0 horse-collar decision from
the Violets. The New Yorkers made
a few hits count well as they took
the second day’s battle by a 7 to 4

ries when the Christians hit behind

Hitting well and fielding sharply

Elon Diamond S(|usd Has 8 Veterans
The Elon College baseball squad, Va., Everett did a fine mound job
Not long ago many of us on the
campus read a statement made by
Coach Miller in which he stated
that our Carolinas Conference cag-
ers could compete very well indeed
with the Atlantic Coast Conference
teams, with the possible exception
of the powerful Duke University
Blue Devils.
Following up that statement, the
Western Carolina Catamounts lent
stature and prestige to the Confer-
*nce when they accomplished what
00 other teams in Carolinas Con
ference history had been able to
do as they battled their way to the
finals of the NAIA national tourna
ment in Kansas City. Of course the
Catamounts lost in the final round,
but they finished as a strong run
ner-up in the ranks of the natKXi s
small-coUege cage tBams
If the powerful showing made by
the Western Carolina outfit was not
enough to prove Coach Miller right,
then it was proven fair and square
on Tuesday night of last week when
the senior all-stars of the Carolinas
Conference defeated the senior stars
of the "Big Four" and Atlantic
t^st Conference.
The “Big Four” senior, stars, boU
stered by the aid of ace performers
from Davidson and South Carolina,

the Carolinas Conference outfit held
off a late raUy by the “Big Four”
squad to win an 82 to 81 decision
It was the fifth time the rival senior
quads had met, and the Carolinas
Conference seniors have won twice
n the five games.
To the Hon fans, however, the
ictory won by the Carolinas Con
ference cagers was not the most^
mportant thing. What impressed
IS Elon cage fans more was the
iact that one of Hon’s great cagerS|
was the outstanding star of the
>ame, for Dewey Andrew truly set
:he winning pace for his team.
One of the most enjoyable bits of
reading is the story of a real star
and his last performance. Truly
such an enjoyable account was the
story of Dewey Andrew’s last game,
for he finished his college career
in great style, a style befitting a
player of his calibre. The big boy
grabbed down 21 rebounds and
scored 19 points toward the Caro
linas Conference win.
His showing against stars of the
“Big Four” recalled that the All
State list, which came out two
weeks before, had omitted the
name of Dewey Andrew, and many
of us were disappointed, for we
felt that the "Big Duck” deserved
a spot on the All-State team.
He proved that fact in the all-
star contest, for he was playing
against several of the boy* who
had made the All-State team. His

the Maroon and Gold colors on the
liamond In many years, for Coach
Jack Sanford can show only eight
ettermen on his roster this spring.
The Christians have had more
than thirty men working out for
several weeks prior to last week’s
openers, although the bad weather
kept Coach Sanford and his boys
indoors much of the time during
late February and early March.

students and faculty members are
invited to meet the baseballers
through the following brief sketches
of the players who are li.sted on

Andrew Tops
Looj) Stars
In 82-81 Win
Big Dewey Andrew crowned his
college cage career with glory when
he joined with fellow senior cagers
from the various Carolinas Confer
ence colleges in defeating the ".enior
basketeers of the "Big Four" col
leges of the state 82 to 81 in the
fifth annual Boys' Home Invita
tional battle at High Point on Tues
day, March 19.
Mel Gib.son. of Western Carolina,
topped Andrew by three iK>ints in
the scoring columns and iiaced the
Carolinas Conference five with 22
points for the night, but the big
Elon pivot star ripped the nets for
19 points and rode the backboards
with the reckless abandon of a
rodeo star as he pulled down 21 re
bounds against much taller opposi
tion from the "Big Four. ’
Andrew was playing against Wake
Forest’s 6-11 Bob Wollard and N. C.
State's 6-9 John Key, but he cut
them down to midget size as he
both out-scored and out-rebounded
the rival pivot men. The Elon star
limited Woolard to 11 |)oints and
leld Key scoreless for the night.
Andrew himself hit nine field goals
to lead both teams in floor shooting.
The Carolinas Conference stars
wore leading the "Big Four " sen
iors by as much as 19 points in the
lie minutes of the game, but they
had to fight off a hot-shooting "Big
Four” rally that pulled ahead by a
single point, and it remained for
Lenoir Rhyne's Tommy Burton to
hit a 25-foot jump shot with seven
seconds left to gain the victory.
Carolina's Larry Brown and Yogi
Poteet led the "Big Four" scoring
with 24 and 14 points respectively,
but Gibson's 22 and Andrew’s 19-
point efforts were aided by Tommy
Burton’s 16 and Jerry Well’s 19
counters in the victory drive.
