HE HAS FIFTEEN ELON RECORDS ChristianS
End Year
This year the football
spirit has not only been
boosted by the great job
the Elon Christians have
done on the gridiron, but
also by the spirit of foot
ball seen in the intra
mural games on campus.
This extensive intramural
program is sponsored by
Coach Jerry Drake and Ken
Scott.
The intramural teams
were made up of dormitory
students, fraternity bro
thers, and commuter stu
dents. T'he dormitory
teams were Carolina“A,”
Carolina “3,” Smith “A”,
Smith ‘‘3”, and Barney
Dorm. The fraternities
were Kappa Psi Nu, Al
pha Pi Delta, Sigma Mu
Sigma and Sigma Phi Beta
and the Commuters.
Each team had to pay
$5.00 admission fee for
materials, referees, and
trophies. This game of
football was called “raz-
zle dazzle” which was a
type of cow-pasture foot
ball where you were able
to pass the football to any
part of the field. Needless
to say a player needed a
good pair of hands. Each
team played the others
twice for a series of eight
games.
Sigma Mu Sigma won the
regular season game for
the fraternities and Kappa
Psi Nu v/as second while
Carolina “A” won the reg
ular season game for the
dormitories. The campus
championship game was
then played between Sigma
Mu Sigma, which held a
season record of 7 wins
and 1 loss, and Carolina
A with a season rec
ord of 8 wins and no loss
es. The champions had to
win 2 out of 3 games for
the championship.
Carolina “A” beat Sig
ma Mu Sigma in the first
g^e 26-8 and then took
the second game 28-24 to
claim the title.
In the first of the cham
pionship games Charles
Woody got two TD’s for
the champs on passes from
Ken Scott and Alan Colen-
da and Dewy Capps adding
the other two scores.Sig
ma Mu led the second bat
tle 18-13 at half-time,but
Bill Knight and Charles
Woody hauled in scoring
passes in the second half,
for the win. Phil Larabee,
Butch Cocke, Bill Frank
and Dale Harrison led Sig
ma Mu.
The Carolina “A” team
was well organized into
three teams of offensive,
defensive, and special units.
The team was coached by
Ken Scott and Captain Jer
ry Gertcher. Other mem
bers were Charles Woody,
Bill Knight, Bob “Whoops”
Johnson, George Kilroy,
Dewey Capps, AllenColen-
cla, John McNeil, Dave
Jackson, Jack Carey, Sam
Moon, Fletcher Bylock,
Charles Lankford, Jim
“Smiley” Ferebee, Dave

Burgin Beale, Elon’s great passing star from Dan
ville, Va., wound up this 1967 grid season as proud
possessor of no less than fifteen of the Elon all-time
passing and total offense records. He set six of them
this year and already held nine from previous seasons.
Other Elon stars who set records this year are pic
tured at the bottom of the page.
Beale And McGeorge Leaders
In Breaking Gridiron Records
When Burgin Beale, E-
lon’s big bomber from Dan
ville, Va., passed to Em
ery Moore for Elon Col
lege’s final touchdown a-
gainst Frederick, he chalk
ed his fourteenth scoring
strike of the 1967 season
and gained for himself an
other of Elon’s all-time
football records.
The big boy, who operat
ed as a substitute for the
Christians most of this
season, set six new Elon
all-time grid marks in
spite of that fact and wound
up this campaign with no
less than 15 of Elon’s of
fensive grid records in his
possession and laid a good
solid claim to the title of
the greatest offensive back
in more than fifty years of
Elon football.
The six new records
which Beale set for Elon
this year were part of the
25 new individual marks
and 10 new team records
which were set by the
Fighting Christians in
moving to a 5-3-1 team
record for this first sea
son of Single Wing play
under Coach Red Wilson.
Richard McGeorge,
Elon’s great pass-catching
end, ended the season with
eight of the nine pass-
grabbing marks in his po-
session. Others setting
individual records during
the season included five by
Gary Jordan, senior kick
ing star; four by David
Oliphant, senior punt re
turn speedster; and one
each by Marty Bonnett and
Emery Moore.
That final TD throw by
Burgin Beale against
Frederick broke Ed Whe-
less’s all-time single-sea
son mark for most TD
passes, for it was Beale’s

With 5-3-1
With Burgin Beale throw
ing three touchdov/n pass
es and setting up another
score with his aerial ar
tistry, the Fighting Chris
tian eleven closed out a
5-3-1 campaign by shel
lacking Frederick 41 toOin
Burlington Stadium on Sat
urday night, November 13th.
Don Crews set the scor
ing tempo for Elon when
he dashed 85 yards to pay
dirt with the opening kick-
off, and Elon kept the of
fensive pace as she scored
two other touchdowns in the
first quarter and added still
another in the second for
a 24-0 halftime lead.
After Crews got the
opener, Beale hit Joe Rin-
aca at the three to set up
the second counter, which
came on a three-yard dash
by Gary Jordan. Beale
then hit Jim Waller for 17
yards and again for 68
yards for the other two
hrst-half scores.
Freshman End David
Goodman tackled a Lion
back in the end zone for
a safety soon after half-
time; and John Doss, first-
year tailback, personally
conducted a ground drive
for the next TD, and then
Beale tossed his third
scoring pass of the day to
Emery Moore for 40 yards
in the closing minutes.
The game produced two
new individual records,
with Beale’s three TD
passes surpassing the old
mark of touchdown passes
thrown, and with Richard
McGeorge’s six catches
topping the old seasonal
mark of catches by Pete
Jarvis last fall.
The 85-yard kick-off re
turn by Don Crews was
longer than the old record
of 83 yards set by Archie
Brigman in 1949, but Em
ery Moore had also topped
the old record with his
10:-yard spring against
Lenoir Rhyne.
