Front St. (Continu d from Page Two) That sei.iOn was a hard one for Elon, as she played games with the University of West Virginia, West Virginia Wesleyan, V. P, 1., Wake Forest, Trinity, Guilford, Roanoke and Virginia Christian College. A scheduled game with A & M was snowed out, Elon won five of her scheduled twelve games. A Slugging Team That 1914 squad was character ized as a whole by hard slugging, C. C. “Jack” Johnson led the team with a .384 average. News stories said that he “pounded out home runs, three-sackers and dou bles quite as plentifully as sin gles,” He also drew more free trips to the initial sack than any of his colleagues. Massey at sec- o.id batted ,320 and toveerd his position with fine style for a fresh man. Urquhart "Dummy” Newman and “Jack” Johnson completed their college work that year, but all th% other men from the 1914 squad returned. Both pitchers, At kinson and Evans, were back for the 1915 season, along with Talley, catcher; Bruce, Ingle and Massey, inflelders; and Poythress and Fince, outfielders, J. L. Farmer -vas manager of the squad and riollis Atkinson was the team cap tain. John Watson was one of the )utstanding infielders of that year. During the season of 1916, 1917 ind 1918, when Coach “'Jack” hnson was directing the Chris- :n teams, Lewis Fogleman was e of Elon’s great all-time slug- ■rs, and W. H. Beard set a strike It record in 1916 when he fanned T batters against Virginia Chris- inn CoUege, a record which has ot been equalled as far as Elon >'cords reveal. In 1919 Coach Johnson turned >ut a team which could compete vith any college or university in 'le South, Elon met and defeated -very team in the state except ’Vike Forest. That 1919 squad pUt with Carolina, won two over ""avidson, and gained single vic- 'eries over Guilford, Lynchburg, V.P.1. and one South Carolaa nine, the only available records. Wade Marlette was a heavy hitter that year, and pitcher J. W. Simp- was the squad captain. In n20 the Elon nine had only fair uccess, but it ercorded a victory over Trinity. Coach Corboy Arrives In 1921 Elon was scheduled to meet Trinity, State, Wake Forest Guilford, Davidson. Furman, Le noir, Belmont, Hampden-Sydney, the University of Richmond, Lynchburg and Handolph-Macon Frank B. Corboy took over the reins as basebaB coach during •eaaoB, and W. E. Marfette was captain.

The bate b=illers did climax one of their poorest years with two victories one over Lenoir 4 to 3, and the other over Davidson 2 to 1. George Underwood was the squad cap tain. The tv«) seasons of 1924 an'i 1925 were nearly identical in win loss columns, with Elon wi.nni’: only one out of ten in 1924, ’vhllc Elon’s incomplete 1925 record showed three wins, nine losses and five unkonwn scores. The pitch ing was off for both seasons, as ppprnents scored heavily. Down Carolina Twice The Maroon and Gold squad got off to a bad start at the outset cf the 1926 season with four straight defeats, but managed to close the season in an impressive fashion to gtve Coach Corboy his best year. The highlights of that season came in two victories over CaroUna, once by a 9-7 score and again by a 5-2 count. The Chris tians also defeated Wake Forest Hampden-Sydney, State, Fort Bragg, Guilford, Lynchbnrg anc' double wins over High Point. Th« final victory over Carolina that season was played on Comer Field iiere on Commencemer. Day, with Fogleman winding ur his career In a blaze of glory in the aftemon after he had receiv ed his diploma that morning. The final mark that year gave Elon a 10-10 record in a campaign which also marked the end of the six-year coaching regime for Coach Corboy. The Elon team of 1927 won K and lost 4, with Earl "Squire Sims (.343), Norman Clark (.333) H, Crutchfield (,328) and Pau Braxton (.313) setting the pacc All-stater Art Fowler (5-1), Ve-- non “Lefty” Briggs (5-3) Browi (2-0) and Shepherd (2-0) led th mound staff. That team won ever' home game, won four out of five m “Big Five” competition and showed 8 wins in 11 games in th'^ state. (To Be Continued) (Continued from Page Three) ced the contest with four counters in the eighth, on three walks, a Williams error and a single by Larry Teague, which combined for the clinching rally. Steve Wall, sophomore outfield er from Greensboro, topped the Elon attack with a single and triple for three tries; but Griffin McVey, former Sylvan star, con- ‘ributed a triple to the Elon cause when he pinch hit in the fifth "^o one of the Williams batters nuld hit safely more than once.

Williams 10, Elon 5 Unlimbering a barrage of 'base- ’tv.ocks that included a pair Of homerun blasts, the Williams Col- ege nine turned back the Elon Christians 10 to 5 on Tuesday March 22nd, and even a two-game series at one all. It was the first Williams win over Elon since 1954, coming after eight consecutive losses to the Christians. The Williams hitters nammered •’itrteen safeties, including hom- rs by Bill Tierney and John 'mith. but ten bases on balls by four Elon pitchers and six errors in the Christian inner defenses contributed heavily to the victory for Coach Bobby Coombs’ outfit. The Elon squad gained a 3-1 lead in the first frame, and it looked at that point like a repeat of the first game, but Williamj knotted the count with a brace of markers in the second. Each team plated singleton runs in the third, but Tierney teed off with a three-run homer in the fourth that put the visitors ahead for keeps. Each team scored once in the sixth, but that was Elon’s last real threat, and Williams added two counters in the ninth to put the frosting on teh win. John Smith led off ninth with a round-tripper, and the final Williams run came on singles by Briggs and Ryan. The Elon hitters could never get their batting eyes tuned in and got only seven hits off two Williams pitchers. Jug Irvin ac counted for three of the Elon safeties, and Steve Wall added two. Scheiber topped the Williami attack with three singles, with Smith getting a homer and dou ble.
