PAGE THREE MAROON AND GOLD SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1938 Elon Fighting Hard In Conference Series But Catawba Leads The Elon Chiiistiaas opened the season in the Narth State Confer ence lApril 4 when they eked !Out a close 9-8 deci'jion in 10 innings at Guilford College. LeRoy Fones led the Elon team to vic tory in the role of a pinch 'hitter. He singled to center, stole sec- o'nd, advanced tO' third on an out and scored a m'oment later on a wild throw by the catcher. Wallop A. C. C. Twice Elon scored its inext victory on the following day when the Elon battens hammered the offeirings of two Atlantic Christian Col lege pitjher3 to all corners lof the park. The game, which was played at Wilson, was featured by the heavy hitting icl Fowler and Roach. Elon returned home to play its next conference game with A. C. C. on April 12. Eloin won the con- td.^t 12-0 as Rioland Longest wield ed the white wash brush for the teams initial shutout. Roach and McCi:aw led the Elon Attack. tJuilford Taken Again The Christians sclored their fomrth straight ccinfei'eriice vic- t ii-y in Burlington April 13 wihen they turned back Guilford 6-4. A seven'th inning rally that net ted three, runs gave Elon its sec ond victory 'Of the seascn over Guilford. Andy Fuller istocd out for Elon in the victory as he field the Quakers to seven hits. He also singled home a couple of runs in the fourth inning to give El'on the lead. Down We Go El'on Icist its first game i« the conference April 15 when the ^Catawba Indians defeated the Christfans 5-3 at Comer field. Bob Hampton oppiosed Tommy Wil liams on the moiund f'or Catawba and hurled a great game against tlie Elonites as he held them to three hits and struck out 11 men. W^illiams gave only six hits dur ing the game, but costly errors by hiis mates cost him the game. Hie teammiabes kicked in faur cf ,the five runs that Catawba scor ed'. Quakers Revenge Guilford’s Quakers defeated the Christians April 19 at memorial atadiumi lin Greensboiro to the tune lof 9-3. The game w'as played in mud and Guilford held the ad vantage thnougbout the listless conte.i.t. The game was marked by many errors due mainly to the wet field and islippery balls, and neither of the teams could be ex pected to ,play the brand 'of ball that they are capable of playing. Harry Nace led the attack 'of the Quakers as he cracked lOut a home ruin in the first inmng with two men o^n base and singled Lentz home with Guilford’s four th tally in the second inning. Boles exhibited rare form cn the mound for Guilford as he all.rv- «d only five hits and struck out ten men. McCraw led the attack of the Chrisitians with a brace 'cf si'.n'gle!- in five trips to the plate. Andy Fuller did inot hurl as poor a brand of ball as the score might indicate; and the score might have been somewhat different if the fielding behind him 'had been better.

The softball tourname'nt start ed early last week, and from the present appearance of things, by the time the finals are reached there will be a home-run king to be crowned as well as tournament chiami^ioins. Some |of the boys seem to be getting on to the knack of slugging out long runs with the 'overgrown apple lof- the distinctive underarm delivery. This, year the teams are divid ed into two leagues. The fra ternities are in one league and the dormitories and day students are, in the other. This system eliminates much of the comftisicn which has accompamied the tour naments in the past. These lea gues might be compared to the American and National leagues in the big time loops of pnofession- al baseball. After winneirs are determined in eacih league, the winners will play foi- tJie chamipiionship in the Jocal worlds’ series. Hal Watts and Ike Fesmire lare acting as di rector's and umpires. Each team has a manager-coach who licoks after the duties of such an of fice. In thib' way the teams miove 'along urtder management like any well organized profesis'iomal team Coach Bower held a conference ■of the direct&ris and .mairiagers be fore the games started and taught the rules wf the game so that there would not be so many differ-ent inle'ipertations icf the ruleis and subsequent beefing about results of umpiring. Cciach Power has evolved a mighty go.od isystem and it is working well so far. At this writing the North Dor mitory and I. T. K. teams are lead'ing, each in a separate lea gue, and we wouldn’t be at all surp'rised if these two teams aren’t the ones who will fight it out for the tournament champion- Senior Reflections By “Snozzle” The following is a rambling group of thoughts by a senior during the recent Senior din ner, so generously given by President and Mrs. Smith. (Editors.) (The impromptu toasts begin.) I can make a lipeech. I know I can. I know some veiy clever \ things to say. Gee I hope they d'jn’t call on me, though. Wish my knees wuld behave. I’ll bet my food isn’t digesting. I’ve never made a sipeech here, but I cam, I know I can, if Milton Cheshire and Tommy Williams can. Maybe they won’t aall on me th'O'Ugih, I hiope. I wonder if he thinks he has to be longwinded beeause he is go ing to i.-tudy law. Goo! What lousy grammiar. (After several other sio-called is'peeches) W'on- der why everybody 'says the same thing. As freshmen they couldn’t ae- member Geoirge Colclough’s name, and everyone was met at the sta- titin by Leslie Manchester. Why don’t iwie ciall George Oolclough Mr. Jones, for the freiihmien’s benefit, and make Manchester as sistant to the head of the fres'h- m.n meeting .committee; he could then finish his edu.C'ati«.n at his leisu re? Contrary to the too often ex- ship. The standings, as this article goes to the linotype machine, are aB follows; Team Won Lost North Doirm. 2 0 I. T.

We don’t appreciate thlose few we ihave. That little bee crawl ing islowly and laborously over the wide stretch of artificial grass, spread in the center of the table, reminds me of one in the process ijf getting an education. It’s a slow trip, and you feel more ig norant at the end than at the be ginning. The bee is probably smarter, for ,he may know where he is going. Some 'of the boys don’t hestitate to stuff their poc kets with nuti and mints, so plentifully supplied. Dr. and M'ls.

I’ll bet Howard Jones wisheu he could get out of he're, to go run the pictuire. This is the best decorated room and most beauti ful- banquet I have attended at Elon, and I guess all beautiful things should be taken slowly. What! Not time for coffee? I’ve enjoyed it so much.

Currin and Hay Give Weekly Awards To Elon Baseballers The firm of Currin land Hay, a leading men’s shop in Burling ton, is doing its i^ihare to see that Elon baseballers get those very needy base hits, by awarding n Manhattan shirt to the leading hitter each week. Needless to say, the boys are 'running ouf thcise ipuny rollers and taking loff on cl';se fouls the'^e diays, tryinj? to icollert O'nie of tho'se coveted shirts that Matt and Pat have to K'ffer. ^ The recipient of the fi'rst Man hattan was Cocky Boiach, hard hitting third baseman. Amos Shelton won the secon/d one by virtue of his hitting streak that lasted through the games of the followimg week The third week saw Koa.ch off on another hitting spree, and he tucked hiw second shirt under his belt. The uisual procedure of aiwaid was altered last week, when Rioland Longest walked off with the honors. He, however, did not come in possfs- sion of the prize through any out standing work with the willow, but because 'of ishut-out pitching. Roland did a fine job of wihite washing Atlantic Chrii.-tian Col lege, lamd well deserved the award. He Who Travels Far Learns Much Virginia Stage Lines Charlottesville, Va.
