Tuesday, May 23, 1961 East Carolina Wins 73-TUt On Elon Field The Elon Christians found the -lants of East Carolina’s Larry 'Crayton for nine hits, including three booming doubles, but er ratic fielding at inopportune mo ments proved costly, and the in vading Pirates carried away a 7 to 3 victory over the Christians in a North State battle on the Elon field on Wednesday afternoon, May 3rd. Both the Christians and Pirates plated singleton runs in the first inning, with the Pirate marker coming on a Ion hit, a hit bats man and an Elon error to start k Es •! Carolina away in front. Eioii L bounced right back as C. G. Hall singled, stole second and scored on Jim Leviner’s single. A pair of two-base clouts by Bass and Cotton Clayton scored another Pirate marker in the top of the third, but Elon once more Itnotted the count as Hall singled and scored on Wayne Mahanes’ two-bagger. Then came the deluge, as the Pirates clinched the victory with three runs in the fourth on a lone single by Cotton Clayton. Two walks, a wild pitch and a pair of fielder’s choices went with the Clayton safety to score the three runs. Two more Pirate markers came home in the fifth on one hit, another hit batsman and two fielders’ choices. MAROON AND GOLD PAGE THREE BASEBALL TEAM HAS FI KECOKI) AS SEASON EM)S [m L.

Yes, you’ve read those words before, for they were the opening words of my first column in Ma roon and Gold this year, and now a year of experience comes to an end as this issue of the paper rolls from the press. With that experi ence behind me, I hope that 1 can write with more freedom and pro duce better material on sports when I resume my duties as sports editor come next September, and I trust that Elon sports will fur nish material for a more enjoy able column next year. Let us look back for a moment 2nd see what has made Elon sports so popular and interesting during this past year. In football, we saw our Christians turn out some fine shows, with plenty of thrills and action in the Guilford and Ap prentice victories and, in partic- lilar, in that homecoming game with Catawba, with its nerve-ting ling climax that we will remember so long as Elon is in our hearts. It is true that we also saw the Christian gridders lose some The strong Elon College baseball team, which has posted a fi i? win and loss record for the sea son in spite of a youthful pitching staff, is pictured above.

The v)cto^-ious Bears grabbed seven first places compared to five for the High Point cmdermen as the Lenoir Rhyne outfit nosed the Panthers by a margin of 56 to Varsity Nine T wire Winner At Pembroke Out on the baseball field, the Fighting Christians have done even better than expected this spring in compiling a highly suc cessful record. They have main tained a mathematic chance for the Conference title until the last, and they just might have won that honor if it had not been for a tragic mid-season slump. Seniors listed on the roster in baseball included Roger Knapp and John Koenig, pitchers; C. G. Hall, at shortstop; and slugging Charlie Maidon, Ted Eanes and Leroy My ers, outfielders; but such fine young stars as Jim Leviner, Eddie Clark, Mike Little and Steve Wall will be back, along with a strong nucleus of pitchers.

May 5th, chalking their wins by scores of 9 to 6 and 15 to 7 in two seven-inning battles play ed under the lights. The Christians broke scoring ice with a single run in the first inn ing of the opener, but the Pem broke outfit blasted home tour runs in the second to take an early lead. Both teams counted twice in the fourth, Elon staged three-run rallies in both the fifth and sixth frames to ice the opening vic tory. Scoring fireworks began early in the nightcap, as Pembroke scor ed four runs in the first and Elon countered with six markers in the top of the second. The Indians had a three-run uprising in the fifth but the Christians kept their atr tack hot all the way as they ran out the 15-run total. Not one of the Christians could hit twice in the opening game, and Charlie Maidon’s double was the top blow for the Elon nine in that game. In the second game SteVe Wall had a triple and dou ble John VanBenSchoten had a double and single and Eddie Clark a pair of singles to lead Elon, The score by innings: first game R H E :-i point . .Jhe Ca;aw'ja In dians were third with 36, iiloii >urlh with 31 l-'2, and East Car olina fifth with 18 3-4 points.
