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)

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?
