Herbie Johnson, Elon’s fine left
hander, who might well be nick
named "Hardluck Herbie" this
spring, dropped his fourth decision
by a single run on May 3rd as the
Pfeiffer Falcons used a two-run
homer in the sixth to top the Elon
Christians 2 to 1 on the Pfeiffer
field.
The Christians moved out to a
one run lead in the third when
4. L. Robinson was safe on a
fielder’s choice, advanced on Jer
ry Jackson's single and scored onl
another fielder’s choice for Herbie
Johnson.
That Elon lead held up until the

Elon regiftars.
Johnson appeared in eleven
games as a pitcher, but he played
outfield or pinch hit in twelve
other contests and wound up with
20 hits in 64 trips for a. 3M ave
rage. Dempsey Herring batted .357,
but he played in only eight games
Marshall Montgomery, who
trailed Johnson in batting with a
.310 average, topped the club in
RBI's with 18 runs driven home.
.Montgomery also led in the number
of safe hits with 27 in 87 trips.
Johnson led the pitchers in the
win-loss column with a 3-7 mark,
irailed by Burgin Beale with a
2-5 mark and Jack Burtsche with
1 1-5 record. Beale showed the
best earned run mark with a 1.6

The 1965-66 Elon College sports
scene has come to a close, and
the academic year is fast ap
proaching its end. Graduation is
near, but for the first time in
many years the Elon sports scene
will not be greatly affect^ by the
graduation program. This is the
advantage of having so many
freshmen and sophomores on the
varsity teams, and next year
should be a productive one for
Elon sports.
With the end of this year, a
number of people are leaving
Elon, and among them is Dr. John
D. Sanford, better known as Coach
.lack Sanford. After many years
of fine service as a baseball
roach, athletic director and edu
cator, Sanford is moving on to
Atlantic Christian College. I, along
with other Elon students and fac
ulty members, would like to wish
him success in his. new position.
I would also like to welcome
Dee Atkinson, the new athletic di
rector, who will report for duty
the coming year. Here also is
congratulations to Coach Allan
White, who moves up as the new
chairman of the physical educa
tion department.
Although this year has not been
a productive one as far as me
won-lost records are concemM,
It has bee-; a very pr^u^Uve one
for recruiting fine athletes for the
future. Coaches Mattocks, mite
and Williamson are bringing in no
less than 29 boys for f^tball,
while Coaches Miller and Andrew
have also signed in some top-
notch basketball players.
This may not seem difficult to
some, but with Elon’s entrance
requirements as high as they are
they have to compete with the
likes of UNC, N. C. State, Duke,
Wake Forest and others. With this
factor in mind, the coaches in
many cases had to go North to re
cruit the type of player that would
fit into their Elon system.
This past year has also brought
to light the effect that Injuries
play in a team’s performance.
There have probably been more
injuries in the Elon sports picture
this past year than in any other
one year. Because of this, a ter
rific strain was put on all of the
varsity teams, both mentally and
physically
Taking everything into consid
eration, losing records, injuries,
inexperience and the changing of
positions within the athletic de
partment, this has been truly an
unusual year. But, as the old
Brooklyn Dodgers of the early
1950's used to say, “Wait till next
yearI”
SPORT SHORTS
As of this time, I have heard
very little of Billy Graham’s prog
ress for Syracuse in the Interna
tional League . . . Former Elon
football greats Rex Harrison (Los
Angeles Rams), Fred Stewart
(Denver Broncs) and Willie Tart
(Denver Broncs), along with Mor
ris Thomas (Otta Rough Riders
in the Canadian League) will be
trying to make their marks in the
professional football ranks this
coming fall . . . Jesse Branson,
of the Philadelphia 76’ers, will

Downs Elon
In 13-6 Tilt
The Atlantic Christian Bulldogs
unlimbered a powerful batting at
tack on three Elon pitchers at Wil
son on May 5th as they turned
back the Elon Christians 13 to 6
in a Carolinas Conference dia
mond battle, the victory giving
the Bulldogs a sweep of the two-
game series this spring.
The homestanding Bulldogs grab
bed a long lead in the first two
frames when they jumped on Biir-
^in Beale for a total of six hits
and seven runs, two of the count
ers coming in the first and five
in the second.
With that early 7-0 margin, the
Atlantic Christian outfit then got
to Paul Amundsen for a single
run in the fourth and staged a big
5-run uprising in the sixth to
round out a 13 to 0 lead before
Elon could score.
The Christian finally came up
with a rally of their own in the
seventh as Elon exactly batted
around and plated five runs on
three hits, a walk, a hit batsman
and a Bulldog error.
Marshall Montgomery topped
the Elon stick work with three
hits in five trips, and Dempsey
Herring showed a pair of safeties
three tries. Fred Hale and

OPPONENTS
ile-bie Johnson and Jack Burt-
sch* a pair of Christian senior
pitchers, threw two fine mound
shows in the face of the vi.siting
Blue Hose in the double bill that
closed out Elon's most disastrous
diamond season in many years
Johnson allowtxi only three hits in
winnin'J the 9 to 1 opener, and
Burtsche allowed only two safe-
ies in taking the 11 to 1 nightcap
win.
The Christians batters opened
the first tilt with a barrage of
four singles that produced three
runs in the first inning, and then
eleven Elon hitters paraded to the
plate as the Christians added five
runs in the second frame. A solo
counter in the fourth totalled
Elon’s nine runs, and Presbyterian
got its only marker in the second
Elon also started early in the
second game, blasting four run
ners home in the first rack and
adding singleton runs in the third
and fifth, followed by another five-
run uprising in the sixth to round
out the 11-run total. The solo run
for the Blue Hose came in the
fourth.
Ron Tugwell had a double and
single, and both Herbie John.son
and Tommy Newsome blasted a
pair of singles to lead Elon's at
tack In the opener; and Johnson
then went to left field and slapped
a double and two singles in the
li^htcap. Marshall Montgomery
and Comar Shields each also had
three hits for Elon in that game.
