It is up and over — seemingly over the tree
tops for Ron Bolton, Elon’s freshman p ie vaulter
from Greensboro, who smashed one of Elon’s oldest
track records when he leaped 12 feet in the very
first meet of the 1968 season, breaking the old mark
of 11 feet 6 inches which had been set by John Platt
fifteen years ago» Bolton has since cleared 13 feet
at the Davidson Relays but did not win first place,
so he could not get credit for that height as a record.

Elon Golfers

Meets Left
The Elon golfers wound
up their April
with a record of thr
wins and seven losses
and the Christians were
honing to improve their
season mark in meets
remaining on the 1968
card during the early pa
of May.
In their four mos^t re

Bears used a walk and an
error in pushing over two
unearned runs in the eigh
th inning came from be
hind to win a crucial Car-
olinas Conference base
ball battle from Elon by
a 1 to 0 count on the
Elon field on April 30th.
The Elon outfit got a-
way in front against Len

a solo run in the first
inning. With one out,Jim

The jet age seemingly arrived on the Elon campus
when Don Crews, freshman sprinter from Greens
boro, hit the Christian track out beyond the Alumni
Memorial Gymnasium. Crews has won double sprint
honors in most of Elon’s meets this year, and Crews
broke the twelve-year old 220-yard dash record set
by Eddie Bridges back in 1956 when the Gate City
youngster ran the furlong in 22 seconds flat at Atlantic
Christian. Crews has been under 10 seconds twice in
the century, pushing close to Eddie Bridge s 100 yard
mark of 9.8 seconds.
Pfeiffer Tops Elon
Two errors, a walk and
a wild pitch before a man
was out in the first inn
ing gave Pfeiffer a sin
gle run, and that was the
only score as the Fal
cons went on to eke a
1 to 0 victory over the
Elon Christians at Pfief-
fer on April 26th, with
Elon falling victim to a
no-hitter by Vic Worry.
After that single un
earned run, neither Pfeif
fer’s Vic Worry nor
Elon’s John Austin would
yield a score as Austin
let the league-leading
Falcons down with two
widely - spaced singles,
only to lose the decision
to a no-hitter thrown
at Elon by Pfeiffer’s
ace moundsman.
John Austin pitched by
far his best game of his
freshman season for Elon
as he struck out eleven
men and walked only three
while limiting the Fal
cons to one single in the
third and another in the
ninth. After Pfeiffer got
