Sunday is as good day
as any for “sporting

Finally, however, the

of watching, no one was

was not even slowed up.

without witnesses.

Don Brady, a sophomore letterman catcher from
Bennett, and Paul Amundsen, a junior letterman pitcher
from Silver Spring, Md., are two of Coach Jerry
Drake’s veterans who promise to be bulwarks of the
Elon College baseball team during the upcoming 1968
campaign. Brady was a starter and regular receiver
for the Christians last spring and should be much
improved this year. Amundsen, who is 6-5 In height
and weights 215 pounds, got credit for two wins last
year in a campaign that saw Elon win only eight of
twenty-eight starts.
Goedeck Tops Cage
Scoring For Season
Henry Goedeck, Elon’s
6-6 junior center from
Central Islip, N.Y., led
the Fighting Christian ca-
gers in scoring and re
bounding for the third
straight season when he
topped Che 1968 Christian
basketeers with an aver
age of 19.3 points and
12,9 rebounds per game in
a 28-game campaign.
No less than five play
ers on the Elon squad
during the season aver
aged 10 points or better
during the season,which
netted the Christians
13 wins and 15 losses.
In addition to Goedeck,
the double-digit scorers
included Bobby Atkins
with 13.1, Tom McGee
with 12.4. Richard Mc-
George with 11.1 and Bill
Bowes with a 10.1 aver
age for the games he
played before dropping
from :he squad in mid
season.
Goedeck finished the
year with a total of 543
points in the 28 games,
and this added to his pre
vious totals of 577 in his
freshman year and 479
last winter to give him a
3-year career total of
1,596 in 77 games for a
3-year average of 20.7

Drake Begins
Second Season
Coaching Nine
The Fighting Christian
baseballers, opening
their second season under
the coaching of Jerry
Drake, himself a former
Elon pitching great,
will open their 1968cam
paign by meeting the
Guilford Quakers on the
Elon field next Monday
afternoon.
That game with the
Quakers, which also
marks the beginning of
the Elon drive for Car-
olinas Conference honors
on the diamond this
spring, will be the first
of four games setfornext
week. Other games next
week, all of them at home,
are with High Point on
Tuesday, Catawba on
Thursday and Campbell
on Friday.
Coach Drake,whose team
had a disastrous cam
paign last spring with a
record of eight wins and
twenty losses, hopes for
much improvement this
year as he has fourteen
lettermen among the
players listed on his
roster. He also has sev
eral fine newcomers.
Five letter pitchers on
hand are Burgin Beale,
senior right-hander; Paul
Amundsen, junior right
hander; Joe Byrtus, jun
ior southpaw; and Steve
Bird and Richard You-
mans, sophomore right
handers.
Three lettermen are
listed among the catchers,
including senior Bobby
Bulla, who has previously
seen duty mostly as an
outfielder, along with sop
homores Don Brady and
Frankie Mensch.
There are three mono
gram infielders on the
roster, including first
baseman Mike Hailey,
second baseman Jim
Freisinger and third
baseman Dempsey Herr
ing, allof whom saw regu
lar duty last spring.
The outfield corps also
lists three lettermen,
among them Larry
Collins, a senior who was
a fine southpaw pitcher
until he ran into arm trou
ble two years ago, and
Richard Smith and Mike
Spillane, both of whom
started many games last
season.
