Friday, December 9, 195( page four Fighting Christian Five Gets Win Over Fahons THEY WERE GUEST SOLOISTS FOR ‘MESSIAH’ The Elon Christians broke away to a quick lead in the early moments and went on to defeat the Pfeiffer Falcons 77 to 59 in the first home game in Elon’s Alumni Memorial Gymnasium last Saturday night. The victory even ed the Elon cagers for the season with two wins and two losses. Off to a fast and sharpshooting start against the Pfeiffer cagers, the Christ ians were out front by 16-4 margin after barely seven minutes of action, and they were ahead by 22-7 just two minutes later, but Pfeiffer rallied at that point and began whittling at the Elon lead. REIDtHIS/ m The Christians, seemingly tired on their third consecutive night of play, bogged down in their attack in the final portion of the first half, and they I led by only eight points at 37-29 at the half-time break. Henry Goedeck paced the Christian attack with 21 points, while Tommy Davis racked 15, Tom McGee 13 and Rick Hare 11 counters. Jim Burkhart topped the Falcons with 15 and Rick Knapp had 12 points for the night. Henry Goedeck, Elon’s big sopho more center, and Tom McGee, an eagle-eyed freshman guard, led this first half drive by the Christians, but Tommy Davis and Rick Hare joined in the shooting game in the closing half during which Coach Bill Miller s boys never allowed Pfeiffer to come closer than seven points. The line-ups: Pos. Elon (77) Pfeiffer (59) F. Bowes (4) Engebretsen (4) F. Hare (11) Knapp (12) C. Goedeck (21) Burkhart (15) G. Davis (15) Steelman (4) G.

Elon subs—Marshall 7, Freisinger 2, KAY PHILLIPS CHARLES LVNAM JANETTE OGG Appearing as guest soloists with the Elon Choir in its thirty-fourth rendition of Handel’s “Messiah’’ were Ki Phillips, soprano, of High Point; Charles Lynam, bass, of Greensboro; and Janette Ogg, alto, of High Pomt. Thirty-Three Elon Gridders Listed For Letter Awards Were I the worrying sort, I’d shed a tear for Elon’s current English ma jors. I am wondering what the devil they’re reading other than Playboy. For the nonsense of it, I sent down to Elon names of six literary charac ters. Four undergraduates volunteered to identify them. Actually, the stu dents got themselves obligated due to pressure applied by a certain Elon president and professor who found himself in the same fix. So, if you wish to play fun and games, see if you can beat the quar tet’s showing with these: 1) John F. X. Markham 2) Brom Bones 3) Amos Forsythe 4) Kendall Nesbitt 5) Mr. Damon 6) James Olsen Now, for our fearless foursome’s answers. I Markham: Nobody knew this one, | although one took a shot at his being in Robert L. Stevenson’s “Markham.” Man, that’s one up on me. The charac ter I had in mind was the d.a. in the Philo Vance detective stories. Maybe old Philo is so square, nobody’s read ing him these days. Bones: Two out of four came through on this one—the blustering bully and local swain in Washington Irving’s “Legend Of Sleepy Hollow.” Forsythe: Zero here. Isn’t “The Last Hurrah” in our library? Nesbitt: I thought if I threw a little sex into the quiz. I’d do all right, but, no. This vexes me. Nesbitt was the lover in “Lady In The Dark.” Mr. Damon: Another blank. Mr. Damon was real swift. Matter of fact, he was in the Tom Swift books. Mr. Damon was the man who went around saying “Bless My Soul!” about Tom Swift’s Electric Grandmother and oth er live-wire inventions. Olsen: Ah! You younger generation —you’re not all bad. Mark down 100 per cent correct replies for this one. Jimmy Olsen is noe of America’s more fascinating literary characters. He is Clark Kent’s cub reporter associate on that great metropolitan newspaper, The Daily Planet. One of the four answer sheets included source materi al: Action Comics. Now, look. If you don’t know who Clark Kent is, make a superhuman guess, will you?
