Christians Trounce Newberry Twice In Double Bill
Christian ‘9’
Splits Tilts
With Indians
Home runs played a major part
as the Elon Christians and Catawba
Indians broke even in a Carolinas
Conference doubleheader at Salis
bury April 21st. The Indians used
two homers to win the first game
of the double bill by a 5 to 4 count,
while a pair of round-trippers con
tributed heavily to the Elon attack
as the Christians rolled to victory
in the nightcap by a 13 to 7 scorc.
A three-run homer by Bill Peeler
in the fifth and a solo circuit blow
by M Knipple in the seventh ac
counted for four of the Indian-,’ fi
runs in the opening game, whV''
Sciw Elon’s Richard Such suffer his
first defeat of the season after win-
nini? five straight victories, Th»
Elon freshman fell victim of the
short fences in the Catawba park
as balls fell for homers that v, ■' •
ha\e fallen inside the wall on the
Elon field.
The Christians broke out in front
in this opening game as they plated
(wo runs in tht first inning off Jerry
Mayp, fine Catawba southpaw, but
the Indians grabbed the load '
four runs in the fifth, three of ther; ■
coming on Bill Peeler’s round-fr'i-j
per, Fred Stewart and Pefo Ci-o'!';
each had two hits for Elon " '
battle.
The Christians unlimbered their
big bats in the second game, wh'
saw them pound two Cataw'o'’
ers for seventeen hi^s and thir*""-
runs, Fred Stewart, Elon outfieHer
had a perfect four for foiT in t' i
game, including two homerc and '
double, Pete Crook and Art Davi-;
contributed three hits in an Flo-
attack that twice plated five runs
in a single inning.

who has also played three seasons with the varsity basketball squad
at forward, broke into the Elon baseball line-up last spring and is in
his second season as a baseball regular. Cheek, now playing his fourth
season in a Christian baseball uniform, has been a starting catcher most

a mid-season 16-5 baseball record
the 1963-64 year must be rated
among the most successful in the
history of the college.
However, won-lost records should
not be the criterion in the evalua
tion of an athletic program. For the
administration, athletic successes in
his diamond anniversary year have
•neant the realization of their “Elon
concept" in athletics.
Earlier this semester. President
Danieley offered valuable insights
nto this concept. Dr, Danieley stat
'd in part: “We are very pleased
with the development of the ath-
'“tic program over the past several
ears. We believe we have the fin
est group of young men participat-
ng in our various sports that we
la e known in Elon athletics,’
“We are proud of the Way they
represtnt the college on and off the
field," he continued, “We are al
ways pleased with wins, but we
are more highly pleased when our
young men reflect credit upon them
selves, their families, and the col
lege, We expect to continue to work
for an improved program in both
intramural and inter-collegiate ath
letics, with the emphasis on the in
dividual and his development,”
Dr, Danieley’s concept of athletics
exemplifies typical athletic and edu
cational goals. They are, however,
unique in the respect that these
goals are being realized here at
Elon,
The Elon athletic program is not
perfect, but Elon athletics are truly
for “the individual and his devel
opment,’’ and not for the financial
gain or the glory of the college.
Therefore, an adequate evaluation
of the athletic program may be ob-
‘lined from a characterization of
the Elon athlete,
Elon athletes, as H, Reid puts it,
are Normal Normans, A great ma
jority are typical college students.
They hold their own in academic
endeavors, and get little special
consideration for their status,
Ebn athletes are increasingly
well-rounded individuals, and al
though they have athletic ability,
they are not freakish physical spec
imens, Most important, they have
a desire to be an athlete.
Most Fighting Christians come
from small communities, many of
’.itly. On i iid off the field he brings
tribute to himself and his college
pr incr 'asing numbers of our
athletes picked Elon over offen
from other colleges.
Many of the present football team
have transferred to Elon from “big
time” schools. Notable are Jerry
Rowe (Carolina', Morris Thomas
Auburn 1, Ed Wheless and A, W.
McGee 'V, P, I,', and Joe Rob
inson (Clemson), This group came
to Elon, not because they could
not make the grade in the “big
time”, but because they did not like
the “big time” athletic program,
,An increasing number are mar
ried, On the basketball team. Bill
Morningstar, Jes^e Branson, Sonny
Smith, Danny Hall and Howard
Andrew are married.
Once the Elon athlete graduates,
chances are he will coach, and
physical education. This eliminates

l^pset Game
The Elon Christians fell victim
to multiple errors of omission and
commis.sion as they suffered a 5 to
) defeat by the Pfeiffer Falcons in
Carolinas C^onference battle here
^’.)ril 17th. It was Elon’s first loss in
nine Conference battles and only the
third defeat in nineteen games for
the entire season.
Errors of omission on the ba.se
paths and errors of commission in
the field proved the decisive factor
in the game, for Elon’s lanky Jerry
Tillman allowed the Falcons only
five well-scattered singles and de
served a better fate than to lose
the game,
Tillman had allowed Pfeiffer a
single run in the first, but Elon
came back for singleton counters
in the first and third and was blast
ing along with a 2-1 edge when the
fatal sevtnth came. In that frame
a walk, a ,sacrifice, three singles
and two costly errors cost Tillman
four unearned runs and the game.
