Austin Pitches Win At LR In 9-7 Tilt ni-m-rillO m Big John Austin, hard- iftllJ Itilw m throwing Elon freshman / nvi \ W pitcher, finally broke the m win barrier as he pitched the Fighting Christian baseballers to a 9 to 7 victory over the Lenoir Rhyne Bears at Hickory April 8th. The tlon pitcher, who had “All-Everything” honors in high school and Legion baseball, found the college competition tough earlier this spring. In spite of pitching some very fine games, he had dropped his first three college starts to strong opposition. The big right-hander, scattered eight hits for the Bears in turning back the Lenoir Rhyne squad. Austin also enjoyed a fine day at the plate, hitting safely three times in five trips to aid the Elon at tack. The Christians jumped on Steve Sisk, Bruin starter, for six runs in the first inning and then fought off late-inning ral lies by Lenoir Rhyne to clinch the victory. MAROON AND GOLD FRIDAY. APRIL 19,1968 THEY HAVE LED ELON JUNIOR CLASS THIS YEAR I am the original ugly duckling. My old classmates fea ther their nests in hand some style. Meanwhile, Old H. sits at his dumb typewriter. Now, this past weekend, for instance. One of my old cronies, Dean William Whitehurst at Old Dominion College, was named by Republi cans to try after Porter Hardy’s Senate position. Dr. Whitehurst was not only sleeted but chosen with unamity. And a standing ovation, as well. He is fed up with ex pensive government and socialism. So, he may just do something about it while I peck away at this 1918 Underwood and merely complain about it. Back in grade school, Whitehurst and I used to carp about math tests to gether. At that time, nei ther of us dug figures. I have since revised my estimation of, ahem, fig ures. The girl kind, at any rate. Then, there is Thomas N. McNamara. He is a freshman Virginia state assemblyman. He, too, wants to put some sense back into government. He speaks well on this nowadays. First talk of his I recall was back in junior high. We had an English exercise in pro per ways to reply to for mal invitations. The ex ample was: “Miss Brown, at home.” To which T. Mac replied; “Tommy McNamara, likewise.” Another of my aca demic associates seems to be doing all right at a little college down in Carolina. When I met him, he was a big old farm hand immigrating from Altamahaw to Elon Col lege, where he eventually got to be president . I reckon you may have heard of him. Name’s Dr, J. Earl Danieley. Each one of these long time friends makes a great deal more money than I do and probably oc cupies a more important station in life. But I’m still richer. Banging away at this old typewriter, I just know, makes Old H. hap pier, Writing for my sup per is about the only re sponsibility I’ve got.

I’ m Woody Posts New Record In Elon Golf Charles Woody, Elon College golfer from Rox- boro, fired a red-hot 66 over the Arrowhead course on April 9th, to pace the Fighting Chris tian golfers to a well earned 13 1-2 to 10 1-2 victory over the Catawba Indians in a Conference links match. The 66 by Woody was the lowest ever record ed by an Elon golfer in inter-collegiate play, the previous best round hav ing been a 67 by Bobby West in a meet some years ago. Woody had a 32 for the front side and a 34 on the back side. The win against the In dians was Elon’s first in three golf meets play ed so far this year, for the Christians had pre viously dropped meet to Campbell in a meet here by a 19 1-2 to 4 1-2 count and had lost to Peif- fer in a rainswept meet there by a 12 1-2 to 7 1-2 margin.

Elon Wins 12 To 11 Contest From Apps Ten pitchers paraded to the mound and suffered through ten errors by their teammates as the Elon Christians grabbed a wild-and -woolly Con ference baseball victory by a 12 to 11 count at Boone on April 9th. To give an idea of just how wild the game was, it is worth noting that only three of the total of 23 runs were earned. The Apps failed to earn a sin gle run, and Elon earned only three of their dozen counters. The Christians sent four pitchers into action^ and they allowed a total of 15 walks to go with the eight errors of their mates, all contributing to the Mounties’ total. John Austin got credit for the win, his second in two days. Joe Rinaca topped the Elon hitting with two hits in three trips, while Dempsey Herring hit safety twice in five tries. No other Elon batter had more than a single hit. The score: Elon......12 R. 10 H. 8 E. Appalac..ll R. 9 H. 2 E.
