At present It .v%uld'appear that the top-ranked teams will come from a trio that includes Elon, East Carolina, and Lenoir Rhyne, with Western Car olina or High Point likely to grab feurth seeded spot on the brackets. The other teams slated at present to fill out the big meet are Pfeif fer, Catawba and Appalaclnan.

Just as is the case in the Atlantic Coast Conference, so it is in the Carolinas Conference, with the an nual ' tournament settling the c^ar^pionship, and the eyes of all E\on fans will be turning toward Lqxington YMCA next weekend. Tlie Christian cagers have lost some' games in regular-season ploy that seemingly should have been QUrs. hut the season standings only ..deterqaine the sfedlngs for the tournament, and we feel that the Christians stand an excellent chance of coming through the tournament. After all, they have already been to the finals of one tourney and have won another this year. There was a period earlier in the season when the Christians were topping the standings, with Dewey Andrew, Jesse Branson and thw mates setting a hot pace for all.' Then, after EJon experienced soiiie rough nights, the Lenoir Khyne Bears moved up into the spot which they have held so often in years past, but East Carolina Andrew Hits Hot In Win At Guilford With big Dewey Andrews rack- mg 33 points for his highest sin- ,'le-game score of the season, the' Jlon Christians also hit their high mark of the year as they swamp 'd the Guilford College Quakers' ;8 to 53 here on Tuesday night, January 16th. The Christians were quite clear ly out of the slump which had characterized their play in two oievious games, for they added Tlie Fighting Christian cagers broke even with the Catawba Ind ians in their annual pair of Caro- iinas Conference cage battles, with both engagements going into ov ertime periods before the rival eould reach a decision.

The entire Christian squad got into the act in rebound play as the Elon outfit dragged down 63 rebounds during the game, also a seasonal high mark. The Quakers had to make their first shot good it they hoped to score, for Jesse Branson, Sonny Smith and Dewey Andrew were sweeping the boards with able help from the Christian guards. Dewey Andrew ripped the nets with 13 of liis 20 field goal at tempts for a 65 per cent accuracy mark, and he was good on seven of eight free throw chances Dave Winfrey and sophomore Ro land Miller, a pair of Elon’s re serve guards, were other Christ ians in double digits, Winfrey hit ting 14 and Miller 11 points. Both Elon and Guilford started slowly, with Elon moving to a 5-0 lead after four minutes, but the Christians hit their stride at the point and swept to a 42-28 margin by half-time.
