Elon Defeats Apps

REID THIS
GEE I S 4 \BR A 00!
As a child, Sandra Dof-
flemyer rebelled against
her mother’s insisting
that she take majorette
instruction.
Because she was six
years old, most the de
cisions around Sandra’s
home in Elkton, Va., still
came from her parents,
so the flaxen-haired cutie
reluctantly gave baton
lessons a whirl.
By the time Sandra rea
ched high school, she’d
collected by her twirling
umpty-ump batoneering
trophies. Mom, as many
always are, had been right
all along.
When it came to con
sidering college, Sandra
gave a look at a girl’s
school nearly within pa
rade distance of her Shen
andoah Valley town.
“But, you know,” San
dra said, “thedemandfor
twirlers at a school such
as that is zero.”
To be sure, the dis
taff college sponsors a
concert band, but it lacks
a football team, although
a couple of seasons ago
the gals there were think
ing of taking on the Elon
varsity with victory in
mind.
So, Sandra preferred
Dear Old Mother with a
decision, being of age for
such: “I’m going to Elon.”
Why Elon?
“Well,” explained San
dra, “we Dofflemyers,
like birds, fly south in
winter.”
This is a circumstance,
doubtless, that brings joy
to Maestro Jack O,
White’s head, for Sandra
hardly detracts from the
Mighty Fighting Chris
tians Marching Musical
Magnifico.
Sandra thinks up her
own routines. Jack 0., in
his band parlance, terms
such "head arrange
ments,” or straight from
the cranium and no writ
ten stuff. I he band plays,
and Sandra in fetching,
albeit wondrously abbre
viated uniform, warms up
the show from there,
Weil, that is except on
cold days.
What happens then'^’
“I freeze,” Sandra
The Fighting Christian
basketeers finally moved
into the eighth spot in
the Carolinas Conference
standings when they ral
lied in the second half to
defeat the Appalachian
Mountaineers 81 to 75 in
a Conference cage battle
in Elon’s Alumni Memor
ial Gymnasium on Wed
nesday night, February
7th.
After getting away to
a disastrous start and
dropping seven straight
Conference tilts in early
season, the Christians
had been fighting to move
into the top eight teams
all year, and they finally
gained that ranking with
the App win on the same
night when Catawba was
defeating Newberry. The
question then loomed for
the Christians of holding
eighth place or better to
assure a spot in the Con
ference tournament at
season’s end.
The Christians and Apps
seesawed back and forth
through the early part of
the game, but the Apps
hit a hot streak to gain
a 48-42 margin at the
halftime break. At that
moment the prospects for
Elon appeared dark in
deed.
Then, as the second half
began, the Elon cagers
found their shooting eyes
a bit sharper and tied
the score at 51-all.Rich
ard McGeorge got the ty
ing basket, and Henry
Goedeck put Elon in front
at 63-62 for keeps. Elon
widened the margin in the
closing moments of the
battle.
Goedeck led the Elon
attack with 24 points,
while Tommy Davis and
Tom McGee each added 16
and Bobby Atkins racked
13 counters in the Elon
offensive. Top scorers
for Appalachian were Al
len Price and Preston
Williams with 20 points.

The judge glared down
at the rum soaked cha
racter standing with his
wife before the bench.
“You have been a dis
graceful and negligent
husband and have failed
to support your wife in
a proper manner,” he
said sternly. “1 am there
fore awarding her SIOO
per month from now on.”
The bloodshot eyes ra
diated with a happy glow.
“Gee, Judge, yer honor,
that’s swell of you. . .
and I’ll try to slip her
a buck or two myself
from time to time.
says. “Until 1 get mov
ing. Then everything is
all right.”
Upon that you can rely.
With Sandra on the foot
ball field, Elon cannot
possibly lose a halftime.
Steve Caddell, a 6-root 4-inch junior from Rocky
Mount, who has lettered in two previous seasons with
the Christian cage squad, has seen much reserve
service this season and has several times come
through with valuable points or rebounds in crucial
moments.

and that will serve to eli
minate the crowded bas

days and Sundays and will
give everyone a chance
to shoot a few baskets.
The plans call for the
new building to have two
classrooms, faculty offi
ces for physical educa
tion, a training room,and
also facilities for hand
ball, wrestling and other
physical activities not
presently provided for in
the Alumni Memorial
Gymnasium. Perhaps Mrs.
Brown will be able to get
her piano and dancing
space she has wanted for
so long.
A government grant has
been approved to the col
lege for one-third of the
cost, which has been esti
mated at $500,000 or
more. The government
grant is said to total
$166,000, leaving the re
maining costs of the
structure to be raised
through gifts from fiends
of the college. Contracts
for the building must be
let within a specified time
in order to qualify for the
funds granted to the col
lege.
The thought strikes me
that the new swimming
pool will take away busi
ness from Mr. Troxler’s
lake, but maybe he will
survive, and we will all
agree that Elon is defi
nitely on the move toward
a time when we can all
take a dip in the new
pool.

Then maybe the entire

concerned.
