nu>n. And there were times he got
to be the game as many of us
untiergrads, a little playful when
it came to doing what we were sup
posed to do.
The first person I saw on campus
WEE either Prof. A. L. Hook or
Andy. I forget which. No matter.
That'i about the general order of
appearance for any grad who came
to Elon 20 years ago. I thought
Andy wag about the biggest man I
hod ever seen, outside of Joe Go-
lombek, an Elon football player
who was a little of Ed Wheless,
George Wooten. Sal Gero and Jack
Benny all rolled into one bulky pack
age. Portly Andy bought the big-
(^st automobiles he could find, and
I suppose that was because he need
ed enough room to swing his mass
ive arms out for hand signals. Gen
erally, he was a Buick man al-
tliough he, being a Christian gentle
man, did have nice things to say
about a 1929 Model A Ford touring
car in which I frequently rode, and
in his last years he moved up to the
Cadillac class.
I think Andy had the right atti
tude toward his job. I don't recall
ever seeing him work, but 1 con
tinually observed him working at
it Whatever needed doing would
get done bye and bye. If Andy said
he'd do it, then there was no worry.
It would be done.
He'd volunteer to take care of
tasks, loo. Because of Andy. I met
a coed at Old Elo' and married that

and her trunk came much later.
When it finally was dispatched to
the old train station through the
recalcitrant offices of the Southern
Railway, it was just left there.
Without her finery, much less neces
sities, Virginia Ezell was ready to
go home.
■'W»ll, now. Miss Ginny," Andy
told her, “You just wait a spell. I
go see can I do.”
In less time than normal, Andy
had that trunk where it ought to be
in West Dorm. Gin stayed for a

the Elon College Christians turned
back the Campbell College Camels
70 to 59 on the Campbell floor on
Monday night, January Uth.
Tile home-standing Camels held
a bare 2-poinl edge over Elon at
the intermission after a first half
that was close all the way, but the
Christians knotted the count at 31-
all in the opening minutes of the
second half and gradually pulled
aw;if for the win.
That first half was to a great
extent an individual duel between
EUon'i towering Jesse Branson and
Campbell'* Pete Wish, with each
d the two ringing 12 points as Camp
bell edged to the 29-27 lead al half
time. Branson edged his scoring
rival in the final half as he finished
with 25 points. Wish led Campbell
with 20 counters,
with 13 points.

December 17th, dropping a 65 to

teams for the night. Only other
Hon player in double figures was
Richard Such, who had four field

11 points.
(Tharlie Van Lear, a 6-7 fresh

in his first start, although he only
scored two pomts. '
The Line-ups:
Topping off the great Klon foot
ball season fur 1964 and crowning
the various honors won by members
of the Christian championship squad,
Co-'aplain Jerry Rowe, a great de-
,'ensive end from Asheboro, was
named to the N.AI.A’s All-.\merican
squad as a defensive flanker. Rowe,
who led Fllon’s fine Comanchero de
fensive unit during the season, was
named to the second NAIA defens
ive team as a flanker. Kowe, who
had previously been an All-Amer
ican high school performer, became
the sixth Elon football star to win
.\I1-American rating in (he past six
teen years.
Pirates Down

After leading at the half-time,
the Elon Christians fell victim to a
last-half comeback as they dropped
a 67 to 60 decision to the East Caro
lina Pirates at Greenville on Satur
day night. January 9th. The loss in
the non-conference battle, dropped
the Christians to 4-7 for their over
all season record.
With Jesse Branson and Art Davis
showing the way in scoring, the
Elon cagers were ahead by two on
a 34-32 score at half-time, but the
homestanding Pirates ra’Iied in the
second half as Gerald Smith and
Grady Williamson paced them to a
52-41 margin with ten minutes on
the clock.
That was the biggest margin of
the game, for Branson maintained
a fast scoring pace and kept the
Christians in the game until the
closing minutes. Elon was behind
by barely four points at 58-54 with
four minutes to play. Then Billy
Brogden and Jerry Wodside led a
rally that widened the East Carolina
margin to a safe 65-58 in the next
*wo minutes.
Jesse Branson was top scorer for
Elon and for the game as he banged
home 26 points, but Art Davis was
the only other Christian to reach
double figures. Jerry Woodside led
East Orolina with 22 points, with
Billy Brogden getting 11 and Grady

Appalachian
In Close Win
Over Elon ‘5’
The Elon Christians made another
of their gallant but futile "come
backs" in the late stages of the
game as the Appalachian Mountain
eers toppled the favored Christian
cage squad 59 to 56 in a Carolina.s
Conference battle at Boone on Tues
day night, December 15th.
The Apps had moved ahead b_\
31 to 28 at the half-time of the
game, and they widened that lead
to eleven points at 47-36 after ten
minutes of play in the second half.
It was then that Elon started a
rally that tied the score at 56-all
with barely 50 seconds to play, only
to see Appalachian’s Tony Gray
come through with a field goal and
a free throw in the last seconds
to chalk the Mountaineer win.
Gray, a 6-5 junior from Baltimore.
Md.. led the Appalachian scoring
with 16 points for the night an(i
also came through with a brilliant
defensive effort that limited Elon's
Jesse Branson to two field goals,
one in each half. Branson, however,
dropped in 13 free throws for a
game total of 17 points and top
scoring honors for the game.
The Elon cagers kept whittling
away at the App lead in the final
ten minutes of play, and Dave Win
frey hit the basket for a field goal
at the 50-second mark which tied
the count at 56-56. This basket only
set the stage for the game-winning
plays by Tony Gray for the Apps
Each of the two teams had three
men in double figures for the night
In addition to Branson, other lead
ers for Elon were Richard Such
with 15 and Bobby Atkins with 13

Wofford Wins
In Overtime
The W'offord Terriers had to over
come an Elon lead and go into
overtime before turning back the
Fighting Christian outfit 92 to 84 in
a high-scoring battle on the Wof
ford court on Tuesday night. Jan
uary 5th. The Wofford victory
avenged an earlier one-point defeat
at the hands of the Elon cagers.
The Elon squad, while suffering
its sixth loss in nine games, dis
played perhaps the best balanced
scoring attack of the season, for
Coach Bill Miller’s boys put five
players in double figures for the
game and led the home-standing
terriers through much of the con
test.
The Christians moved out front
in the first half and boasted a 42
to 39 margin at the break. They
came back after the intermission
and continued to hold the front most
of the way, being ahead by nine
points with less than two minutes
to play.
George Lyons, Wofford scoring
ace, racked up 44 points for the
night to cop individual scoring hon
ors for the night, and it was his
great shooting that pulled the Ter
riers into a 76-all tie in the closing
minutes of regulation play. He also
paced the Terriers to the eight
)int margin in the overture.
Art Davis, who hit seven field
buckets and six free throws, topped
the Elon scoring with 20 points, but
he was pushed for the honors by
Jesse Branson, who banged in 12
charity tosses in accumulating 18
points for the game.
Other Elon players who scored in
the double figure column for the
tilt were Richard Such with 16.
Bobby Atkins with 13 and Dave
Winfrey with 10 counters. Branson
and Atkins were both lost in the
closing minutes of the game on the
five-foul route.

Mills E. Godwin, 50, veteran mem
ber of the Elon College board of
trustees, now serving as lieuten
ant-governor of Virginia, has just
announced that he will be a canti.-
date for governor of Virginia in
the Democratic primary, which will
be hold in the Old Dominion State
next July.
(kidwin, who is reported leaning
toward a Virginia sales tax meas
ure at this time, announced his
candidacy for Old Dominion gov-
.rnor in a statement prepared at
his home near Suffolk, Va., during
the weekend.
In his brief and expected an
nouncement, Godwin said, “It ad
ditional revenue be needed from
sources beyond those now presr-nl
we must find it.”
This remark was interpreted by
Virginia press authorities as a clear
reference to a statewide sales ti.x
in the state, that being th.’ or!
major untapped source of revenu:
left to Virginia authorities.
A year ago, the lieutenant go\ -
ernor indicated he would support a
' !-aIes lax if needed. A sales tax
I measure was defeated in committee
; in the 1964 Virginia legislature. God
win says that "many of our local
ities in Virginia are hard-pressed for
revenue, and we cannot longer ig
nore their pleas.”
Godwin, a well known lawyer who
practices in Suffolk, is expected to
be challenged in the gubernatorial
rimary by State Senator E. E.
Willey, of Richmond. Godwin sup
ported Johnson in the national elec
tion, while W'illey declared that he
could not do so.
