The Elon football squad, des
pite the fact that it suffered a
Lino season and posted only two
'“lories in ten games, still came
^yith a number of fine per-
,tonnances and closed out the
tampaign with no less than ten
all-time Elon gridiron mar
either smashed or tied.
A season-end check revealed
that the Christian gridders broke
nine of the college’s all-time foot-
i ; ;;;-ds and tied another dur-
iiP thr year. The check-up re-
-vraled that the Christian squad
had three new marks and one
lied, while the individual marks
smashed included one for a single
game, two for a single season
and three for a full career.

Meacham Suffers Cuts
As He Falls Into Door
Mike Meacham, fine freshman
guard from Burlington's Williams
High, suffered serious and painful
cuts when he crashed through a
pair of glass doors in the opening
minutes of a Fighting Christian
cage battle with the Atlantic
Christian Bulldogs here on Thurs
day night, December 2nd, and the
accident seemingly shook the Elon
cagers badly as they went on to
' drop a decisive 91 to 66 battle to
! the Bulldog quint
The game was less than four
I minutes old when Meacham stole
the ball from one of the Bulldog
I foes and drove full speed for the
Elon goal. He missed the shot,
' which was tipped in for a two-
pointer by Bobby Atkins, but
Meacham was unable to halt his
bench and by Dr. Robert Watson,
who was also at the game. Thi
presence of the doctors may have
prevented more serious injury,
since their quick attention prep^r
ed Meacham for the trip to the
hospital.
He was in surgery for three
hours as Dr. Charles Kernodle
and Dr. Harold Kernodle repaired
the gashes with more than 350
stitches. The cuts inflicted tendon,
nerve and muscle damage, but
attending physicians give hopes
that the freshman eager may be
recovered in time to see action
again by the end of the season
The Christian cagers were trail

After finishing a disappointing
football season, the Elon College
Fighting Christians move onto the
basketball court in hopes of con
linuing Iheir bid for another Caro-
linas Conference championship.
The 1965-66 version of the Elon
basketball team will feature only
four lettermen in Bobby Atkins.
Tommy Davis, Richard Such, and
Charley Van Lear, but coach Bill
Miller reports that this year’s
crop of freshmen basketball play
ers is one of the best he has been
associated with since he has been
at Elon.
Some of this year’s freshmen
who will see plenty of action are
Jorwards Henry Goedeck, 6-6;
Bill Bowes, 6-7; Bill Ashworth, 6-7:
and guards Danny Pendry, Mike
Meacham and Steve Simm(ons.
These boys along with last year’s
lettermen could make this a sur
prising year for Elon cage fans.
The starting line-up will prob
ably appear something like this—
Atkins and Davis at Guards, Goe
deck or Bowes and Such at for-
'*ard, and either /an Lear or
■Goedeck at centef This would
give the Christian^ one of the
tallest starting fives in t/ : con-
lerence.
This is the first time in a long
^hile that there has not been a
senior on the Elon basketball
team. This fact tends to put
doubts in the minds of many,
but if these talented freshmen
jell along with the more experi
enced players, many of these
doubts can be erased. I hope that
ttese freshmen will continue to
play like they did in Elon’s first
victory of the season against the
Wofford Terriers.

ued the Frederick Lions 28 to 6
at Burlington’s Memorial Stadium
on Saturday night, November
20th.
For the first time this season,
the Christians had an effective
offense as they gained 100 yards
on the ground and 162 yards in
the air. Elon offered a well-abl-
anced attack as Fred Stewart,
Gary Jordan, and Doug Amick led
the rushing, and freshman quart
erback Burgin Beale combined
with Stewart, A. W. McGee, and
Pete Jarvis for 141 of the 162
yards in the passing department j
The Christians scored their firs' 46
touchdown early in the second 111
period as Beale threw deep to 125
Stewart, and the big halfback 12
made a spectacular over-the , 172

Elon scored again in the sec

fullback Perry Williams carried
16 yards down to the Lion four,
