Elon Quint Defeats

RED’S HERRING
In evaluating the past
endearing 5-3-1 football
season, one looks down
the bench to a precar
iously skinny young man
from Whiteville, N.C.—
one Dempsey Herring,
True, the defensive
halfback missed All-This
and All-That rating. I
doubt if Herring benefit
ed from even partial
scholarship. He didn’t
play very much, and when
he did, he hardly shared
the headlines with Messrs.
Kanipe, McGeorge, Bon
net, Beale et als.
Yet without Dempsey
Herring, fulltime class
officer and reserve foot
ball player, the Fighting
Christians would have
lacked much at their fight.
Here’s a fellow who
showed up at every prac
tice, a boy who knew he’d
get bumped about at
scrimmage but would
have remote chance of
being knocked on his fan-
nie in a real game where
it counted most. Still, he
was there at every work
out. He was a hallmark
of what they call spirit
during each varsitj' en
counter.
Teammate Marty Bon
net, the Warwick, Va.,
Wonder, said, "Man, he’d
be out there hollering all
the way. That meant a
lot, too.”
Coach Red Wilson sec
onds that testimonial.
The real moment for
Herring may well have
been the Elon-Frederick
game. Our hero started
early in that one. He play
ed the “monster” posi
tion. That is, he was on
the speciality kickoff
squad and when the Fred
dies got the ball, it was
up to Herring to see they
didn’t run it past him.
Doubts that Herring was
too light also got thrown
for losses that day as
Dempsey , a knockout on
halting end sweep plays,
smashed through for a
number of convincing
tackles.
Which brings me tore-
minding you all stars...
look sharply about you.
That thin senior down the
line there helped put you
where you are, Dempsey
Herring is all-everything
when it comes to “The
Old College Try”—and
don’t you forget it.

The Fighting Christians
of Elon, battling for a
berth in the Carolinas
Conference tournament,
lived up to their fight
ing name as they turned
back the Presbyterian
Blue Hose 80 to 73 in
a crucial battle on the
PC court on February
1st.
With Noble Marshall
and Henry Goedeck set
ting the pace in the early
drive, the Christians
moved to a 37-31 margin
by the half-time, and then
the entire Christian squad
played fine ball down the
stretch.
There were four Elon
cagers in double figures
for the night against
Presbyterian, with Bobby
Atkins setting the pace
with 22 points. Others
were Henry Goedeck and
Richard McGeorge with
13 points each and Tom
McGee with 12 counters.

Richard McGeorge, a great football end, who is prov
ing himself to also be a great basketeer, has used
his football heft and strength to great advantage under
the boards for the Christian cage squad. He has pulled
down 64 rebounds in five recent games, an average
of 12.8 rebounds per game, and the picture above
shows how he screens an opponent off with his own
body to gain position for the loose ball that is coming
from the backboard.

Bowes Is Off
Elon Cage List
Bill Bowes, towering
6-7 junior forward from
Lenox, Mass., who had
been a starter with the
Fighting Christians since
his freshman year, is no
longer with the cagers,
having been forced to
make a choice last week
when a heavy academic
load and other interests
conflicted with his basket
ball competition.
With Bowes staying at
home for the Presbyter
ian trip last week, Rich
ard McGeorge and Tom
my Davis were the start
ing forwards as the Elon
quint topped the Blue Hose
80 to 73.

DeVoll began his con
cert career while still in
high school in his home
town of Rochester, and
there the Eastman School
of Music gave him his
first solid musical back
ground. Enrolled there as
a special student in voice,
he had many major roles
in operas and oratorios
with the Symphony at the
famed Eastman Theatre,
After coming to New
York in 1957, the young
artist continued his voice
studies with ClytieMundy
and Norman Notley, and
during summer monthshe
sang with opera com
panies through the United
States and in South Amer
ica,
Of versatile abilities
and varied interest, he
devotes much attention to
photography, model rail-
vvays, various sports such
as baseball and boating
and to collection of var
ious objects of art. Many
of the art objects are dis
played in his beautiful
New York apartment.

guitar picking by any
body’s standards.
The second half the
program began with two
selections by the Polish
composer, Alexandev
Tansman. The Mazurka
by Tansman is one of
the most difficult pieces
of a guitar repertoire, and
few attempt. Fewer still
play it successfully, but
Guthrie’s rendition prov
ed superb.
The artist next played
a theme variation by Man
uel Ponce, Twentieth
Century composer, and
played it with great sen
sitivity. Ponce uses many
modern harmonies remi
niscent of modern jazz
which came forth in man
ner that was refreshing.
Closing the concert was
a series of six charac
teristic pieces by the
modern Spanish com
poser, Moreno-Torroba,
and his impressionistic
tones were played with
Guthrie’s unflagging taste
and musicianship.
The audience, though
small in number, was
highly appreciative, and
here’s hats off to the
hardy souls who braved
the sleet. They were re
warded by a delightful
evening, and a delightful
encore, was Guthrie’s
rendition of Antonio Lau-
ro's Venezuelan waltz.
Surely, Robert Guthrie
was one of the finest per
formers to grace Whit
ley’s carvernous recess
es in a long, long time.
What's New?
(Continued from Page 2)
Senate, let’s take into
consideration one more.
The most recent one is to
extend the girls’ hours
one-half hour on aii
nights. Since the hours
were extended about a
year or two ago,
ministration says whe
will this end. .
To that 1 say that times
are changing and Elon
must change with them.
One should keep up wi
the spirit of the time ,
and Elon should be
ception. Gone are the days
of high button shoes, wiae
lapels, and horse and bug
gies which a lot of p£°'
pie around here used to
use for transportation.

do is wait and see wn
