Elon Baseball Drills

field this spring. The schedule
open” i?n M'arch 21 at Comer Field

Nine lettermen will repo^rt to
C:ach Hen.’i ii’kwn when practice

pitchers. Headdmg the list i.s
“Dopey” Fuller, fireball hurler,
closely foil iwd by Tommy Wil

Iland Loingesit, “knuickler”.
Ex-Captain “Wimpy” Foiwler has
retulrmed to idi'> his chores at sec

McGraw, clasisy third-sacker.
Amos Shelton, whio p'atroled the
outfield liasit seiason, is expected

The El'n Tntnamural Basketball
program ended Thulrsd.ay night as
Sigima Phi Beba turned back Iota
Tau Kappa. 19-12, in the plav-off
series of the top ranking teams
of the campus. There has been
some fierce competition, and
plenty of g, 'Cd basketball. T^e
I. T. K. and Sigmia Phi team- have
furnished m;'st of the excitement,
while the Dsy Studen'Bs, Ea'Jt Dcr-
in'i'tory, and the Third Floor of
North fought it out among them-
se'.ve?.
It seems there is some di'spute
as t who aire the campus chim-
pi;ns. The Sigma Phi’s claim the
ti:iurnam-nt war played tio decide
‘he champions of the league. On
the other hand, the I. T. K.’s Jiay
it W51J 'liayed just as any other
play-off 'series after the league
p.t.ancinig had been decided. The
Miai'PTO 'and Gold has n>o intention
, f settl'ing the matter, and is
therefi.re giving K>nly the facts. A
rep:esen:aiive cf the paper asked
Ooach Powers for l3.n official word
to print, and g'O't for his trouble a
nonch lant “Why vworry 'ab:iut it.”
That ii exactly the Maroon and
Gold’s sent'ment.
When I. T. K. and Sigma Phi
fir.st met, they were tied for first
place. I. T. K. won the giame ■aiit-
er a hard s.t;ruggle. Why another
g-me waii piayei we d':cn’t know.
W'e do know ta?*^ the Sigma Phi’s
w;n, and new there i.s a d'lspute.
Pr.bablv the “Why r^orry about
it” slogan is the best way after
all. May we huffrjbly sugge-it that
everyoine “get hot” for this soft
ball league tcontest that is coming
ap, and let bygones be bygones.

REVENGE IS SWEET
Varsity Basketball
Season Was Best Ever
At Pi i ne mhere EIon’'= football
team met its WaterloK) la.st fall, i
the Elon Cagers fouind revenge. |
Riiding on the crest of a seventeen- '
mrr-'nt le^rt built up in the first
half the Christian.s managed to
hold off the delayed 'spurt by Ap-
.’l2.chi'riT put the Mountain
eers once within twelve p'Cints .of
the Caninonader^. and came away
with a victory of 47 to 32. in a fast
gi'innie played at Boone Feb. 21.
Abbitt ?h'Owed the Boone fan's'
that he knows what it is all about.
His ten p 'in^s in the firsit half
-sent the Christians into a lead
that wais never to be relinquished.
This wa’ Coach “Horse” Hendrick
son’s initial champion'ship during
hs.s fir=t year at Elon.
Elon’cS floWr iw0Tk during the
first half was the best the Chris-
lians Wa.ve exhibiited in any con
ference game this season. Cap
tain Hal Bradley and Ll:yd Whit
ley whio icontributed 13 and 11
points respe&tively, also ^shared
hoTiiors with Abbitt, aind supplied

Chalking up 19 wins against 2
defeats, our “Towering Chris
tian'” iwoun-d up one of the moist
succef"''ful sea^'ons ever enjoyed
bv an Eloin basketball team. Eleven
of these victories were again'st
North State Conference foes, and,
frr the “e’lond consecutive year,
^"he Chri=tians 'annexed the con
ference champ'Wnship.
T, -o much cannot be said, 'about!
our gang of '.^.ix f'^'aters. who out-1
'.'-■'Pd their op'ponents by over
200 points. Among the victims
were the 'stri'ng Washington and
Ijee Generals, who last year iw«n
“■he Siouthern Conferen»"e title and
have as a member of their team
the iniation'ally famous Bob Spea-
’ard. The Colonials of George
W?i=hingt 'n University, tone of the
leading teami of the country,
handed EIcti its fir?it defeat, in a
orame that was muK^'h closer than
the score indicated. The Lenoir

ference title was w'ell tacked

twice, once here and once there;
eaich contest bad the fans on their
feet throughout. There was a
two^point margin in the first game
aind a ■one-p rat margin in the sec-
'ond. Jim Abbitt scored a field
g>oal iwith but forty seconidis left
to play in the latter.
Due praise .-.hould be given to
0:ach “Horse” Hend.-ickson wh'e
moulded such a fine clicking team
in his first year as coach. Hen
drickson was greeted by a group
of experienced, man-iiuzed players
when the sefason started, but the
team work exemplified by them
showed: la very careful coaching.
The starting five, which averag
ed ab 'Ut 6 ft. 3 in. in height, waij
cami.^’osed of Captain Hal Bradley,
playing his fteurlh year as a regni-
lar; Ike Fesmire, who still has one
yuar to gj; Llcyd Whitley, only a
sophonn re who is destined to be
come lone of the greatest players
in Noith State Conference history;
.I’m Abbitt, whom the Washington
Redskins have di’afted for fiotot-
ball; and Sir Red; Cromlish who
had the bes.t year of hias career.
Ben Lilien and Jiohn Henry Pearce
were two reserves who s'aw plenty
of 'action, and their playing had
; the regulars woiried more than
' , nee this ';ea?'jn for fear of losing
I their po itions. Bradley, Lilien,
I Abbitt, and Crcml'ish will graduate
this June, so next year’s quimtet
will be built around Whitley, Fes-
mrie, and Pearce. Claude Lajw-
j rence. Bob Hamilton, Garland
1 Oausey, Joe Brennan, and Rich-
j ardson imill fight it out for the
, apen p -sitions, so things are look
ing up for next year.
“ARE CAMELS REALLY DIFFERENT FROM
OTHER CIGARETTES ?”■ • ^
"I’ve never beea very fussy about
cigarettes myself. Do you thiak
that Camels are really as differ
ent as some people say, Bill?"
i
"You bet they are differeat, John! A fel
low in any work as hard as selling has
to figure a lot of angles on his smoking,
such as how it agrees with him. And just
notice how many salesmen smokeCamels.
I changed to Camels—smoked 'em stead-
ily_and I found a distinct difference in
the way I enjoyed all*day smoking and
in the way I felt. Camels agree with me'
“YES!” says H. W. DALY, rayon sales
man, and millions of other steady smokers
too. And that explains why Camels are
the largest-selling cigarette in America!
MARITA’S PLANNING a
grand feed. *’We enjoy en
tertaining/' Marita says. **I
like to have plenty of
Camels at the table. Camels
cheer up one’s digestion.”
ON WEEK-ENDS, Bill goes
in for photography. On
week days he ** pounds the
streets.” *'I get tired,” he says,
"but when my energy fails
I get a 'lift* with a Camel.’*
A FRIEND DROPS IN {above) to see Bill’s model
sloop. Daly passes the Camels and answers a natural
question. "That all-cigarettes-are-alike talk doesn’t
square with my experience. Believe me, steady
smoking is the test that shows Camels in a class by
themselves. They don’t make my nerves edgy.’”
