HAPPY BLUES
Em anon trombonist
Jimmy Cannon took a
swipe at that fierce pi
rate’s patch mane hang
ing over his right eye so
he could see where he was
going.
Helping tote a piano
from one building to the
Christopher Newport
College gym In Hampton
where the Elon stage band
wound up a demanding
five-day and ten-per
formance road trip, the
home-town Cannon grin
ned when somebody called
for a little travelling mu
sic.
Ruffin Quarles, sopho
more keyboard specialist
from Burlington, obliged
with a rootie-tootie away-
we-go vaudeville theme.
But trotting beside up
ended piano on a cart
does provide problems,
Charlottesville saxist
Bob Johnson and bassist
Jim White solved that.
They picked up Quarles,
tilting him, too.
Prof. Jack O. White’s
sidemen, music stands,
set up andhoms polished,
then attended to the next
ritual required in a stage
band’s routine: They re
laxed.
At this date, it took
some doing.
The Emanons, twice in
vited to the World’s Fair
in New York some sea
sons ago and playing to
5,000 on this very jun
ket—one concert brought
such response that a
school principal was ob
liged to slap a limit on en
cores — could feel only
uneasy. A regional Lion’s
Club variety show plus
several championship
high school basketball
games ~ one of them
next door to CNC— sy

Jack O. then shouted in
his repeated phrase made
a spunky declaration:
“We 11 play it! We’ll play
iti”
That’s typical of him.
Two Homecomings ago,
he consterned everybody
by saying he’d direct
the marching band despite
a piddly little old heart
attack. And conduct it he
did — riding on a Bur
lington parking meter
cop’s tri-wheeled motor
cycle.
So, the Emanons dance
band came on strong with
its theme, “Reachout,”
scored in som e portion by
Burlington alto saxist Ce
cil Johnson, a specialist
in kicking off tunes. The
Emanons swung in the ac
cepted sense of the term
through a few Count Ba
sie things and even en
hanced smashingly some
of today’s, well, mediocre
tunes.
‘■Reques!;!” one young
fellow in the stands call

Millers’ ‘In the Mood’?”

Indian Five
Wins Game
In Tourney
In one of the big up
sets of the entire 1969
campaign, the Newberry
Indians showed some
dead-eye shooting as they
turned back the Fighting
Christian cagers 76 to 72
in the semi-finals of the
annual Carolinas Confer
ence tourney in Winston-
Salem, It was Elon’s first
loss after thirteen
straight Avins.
The Newberry cagers,
who had already beaten
one seeded team in the
first round, advanced to
the finals by simply out-
shooting and out-hustling
the Elon cagers, who had
several cold streaks when
they could not get a shot
to fall. The Indians went
on to lose to top seeded
High Point in the tourney
finals.
The Indians held the
lead through much of the
first half, although Elon
did manage to grab the
lead a few times and led
for the last time with a-
bout eight minutes left in
the first half, Newberry
was on top by three points
at 34 to 31 at the inter
mission.
Elon pulled to within
two points at 73-71 and
had two free throws, but
when one of the charity
tosses missed, the Chris
tians still trailed by one
and had to foul for pos
session. Newberry upped
the margin to four from
±e free throw line.
Both teams had four
men in double figures,
with Henry Goedeck hav
ing 19, Tom McGee
16, Tommy Cole 15 and
Richard McGeorge 10
points. John Smith had 20
and Steve Hollingsworth
19 to lead the Newberry
attack.

OLD GYM
(Continued from page 2)
the spot where old North
Dorm and the old gym
nasium stood, it is also
fitting that Elon’s growth
and progress should pro
vide for the letting of
contracts later this
spring of a new physical
education building north
of present Alumni Me
morial Gymnasium, a new
building which will pro
vide adequately for the
college’s always growing
physical education acti
vities.
The Fighting Chris
tians had all five start
ers in double figures as
they turned back the Guil
ford Quakers 81 to 72 in
the opening round of the
annual Conference tour
nament, with the victory
coming as the thirteenth
successive win for the
Maroon and Gold quintet.
The Christians got
started with a bang in the
early moments of the
game, with Henry Goe
deck and Noble Marshall
each hitting the basket
with deadly accuracy to
pace the Elon outfit to a
20 to 8 lead in the first
ten minutes of action.
The Millermen con
tinued to find the basket
with regularity, and with
four minutes remaining in
that first half, Elon was
pacing the Quakers by 18
points with a 35 to 17
count, and it appeared
that the Christians would
truly run their old rivals
out of the gym.
However, the Quakers
rallied at that point and
cut the Elon lead to only
thirteen points with a 41-
28 half-time score.Coach
Jerry Steele then sur
prised the Christians by
coming back with a man-
to-man defense for the
second half, and his team
rallied to really threat
en the Elon lead.
David Smith, Guilford’s
big 6-8 freshman center,
led the rally for the Quak
ers, and with less than
six minutes remaining in
the game Smith and his
mates had slashed the
Christian margin to three
points at 64 to 61, and
Guilford had possession
of the ball with a chance
to come within a single
point.
That was when Elon’s
big Bill Bowes swung in
to action with two quick
and crucial baskets, one
of them on a steal by Rich
ard McGeorge. Moments
later McGeorge scored
on another steal, and Goe
deck grabbed a Guilford
pass and laid it in to give
Elon a 9-point margin.
The Quakers had to foul
for possession in the fin
al minutes of the game,
and Elon hit from the
charity stripe to move in
to the final 81 to 72 mar
gin of victory that sent
the Christians into the
semi-finals against New
berry.
Henry Goedeck topped
the Elon scoring with 17
points, with Richard Mc
George and Noble Mar
shall both racking 16,Bill
Bowes getting 13 and
Tommy Cole 12 counters.
Guilford’s Smith topped
the Quakers with 32
points.
