on Netters Top Quakers Twice To End Losing Streak
Christian
Scratch Sheet
By JACK DeVITO
they caruy i>it(;hiin(; load i or kloin syiiAi) Victories Over Guilford
First Since Y)0 Season
After spending tlio last few
writing a series of rebut
tals, charges and similar item.n, I
have decided to take it easy this
time end let someone else do my
writing job for me; so Coach
Garj- Mattocks, Elons head foot
ball mentor, has agreed to write
the “Scratch Sheet” for me this
time, writin'j below on the topic
of the Christian football squad for
th:' coming 1966 season. Coach
Mattoclis takes over here:
The 1966 Fighting Christian foot
ball team will place its hopes of
redeeming a catastrophic 2-8 rec
ord in '65 on the shoulders of 19
returning lettermen and a crop
of husky and highly talented fresh
men. Recent spring drills qulmiii
atec with a Varsity-AIumni game
which saw a returning letterman
at every position for the varsity.
At the all-important quarter
back spot was rising sophomore
Burfin Beale. A more experienc.jd
Beale at 6-2 and 205 pounds
should be trouble for opponents
this fall. The fullback will be a
5-11 aid ‘.^Oo-pound junior, Perry
Williams, from Oxford, who was
used mo tly on defense last fall
but won Ihe starting job with hard
power running in spring drills.
The running back will be Gary
Jordan, a 6-1 and 220-pounder from
Suffolk. Va. Jordan has great po-
tPMtial, and it is the hope of all
Chrisiian followers that ’66 will
see this potential fully explode.
Jordan will handle much of the
punting. At the flanker position
will be David Gentry, a junior
speedster from Edneyville. Gentry,
who was slowed by a knee injury
last fall after a sparkling, 9-
touchdown season as a freshman,
now seems fully healed and ready
for '66. Much of the season’s suc
cess could depend on the little
speedster’s performance.
At center during the spring drills
was Ray Wilson, a senior from
McColl, S. C., who weighs in at
200 pounds. A vicious competitor,
Wilson can always be counted on
for a hundred per cent effort. The
left guard is Lloyd Kanipe, a 220-
pound sophomore from Charlotte,
who is regarded by coaches as
one of the finest prospects ever
to wear the Maroon and Gold.
Teaming with him at the other
guird is Lee Johnson, a 220-pound
junior from Asheboro. A hard-
nosed competitor, Johnson should
be ready for a banner year.
_ offensive tackles will be
mamed by Co-Captain Mackie
sophomore Wesley
V i A steady, dependable
>.a; c C"roen is a senior trans-
o:- • Wake Forest and hails
from Durham. Gilliam is a ?00-
pou.j,' >0.: Western Alamance
Higl). ard he i a rising star at
Elon. C.iiiiaiii ’ a born leader,:
..ind his co:iita:i( hMstling is an ‘
inspir' tio:i c!l around him.
At the ti'Jht end is Richard Wil
liamson, a 8-^? and 2'>0-pound be
hemoth from Sanford, ^^ain, much
of the coming season’s success
will depend on his performance
at this position. The coach.es feel
that “Moose” can do the job. He
will probably play on defense too.
The split end will be senior Pete
Jarvis from Burlington’s Williams
High. A sure-handed receiver, who
stands 6-2 and weighs 190 pounds,
Jarvis should be a favorite target
for Beale’s aerials.
Defensive specialists will be Co-
Captain Joe Robinson, a 210-pound
enior transfer from Clemson. Joe
(Vas elected along with Carden to
lead the Christians on the come
back trail in 19G6. David Oliphant,
a swift and deadly tackling soph
omore from Mooresville, will be
at one of the defensive corners.
Oliphant was one of the few bright
spots of the dismal 1965 season.
A 9.9 second sprinter, he is a
valuable asset.
The free safety will be Ron For-
esta, a defensive veteran from
Brooklyn, N.Y. Gene Brewer will
hold down one of the defensive end
positions, and there is none better
throughout the Carolinas Confer
ence. A tough-as-nails 185-pounder.
Gene hails from Mount Olive.
H. L. Robinson, a senior from
Lumberton, and Bill Miele, a soph
from Irvington, N. J., will share
the “monster” job on defense.
Miele is also a hard-running ball
carrier who will see action be
hind Jordan at the running back
spot. Doug Amick, a senior letter
man from Burlington, will share
the fullback duties with Williams.
200-pound veteran, Amick can
always be depended on for an all-
out effort.
Mike Ray, another Burlington
boy, will back Williamson at the
tight end position. Hampered by
injuries this spring, Ray should
be ready in the fall. Bobby Fer
rell, a 250-pound letter tackle from
Cary, is another who was injured
last year. If in good physical

Elon Cindernieii Defeated
By Wofford Aiid Brevard
Elon Christians here on Saturday
April 2nd, winning a tight mound
iuel by a 1 to 0 count and then
taking a hitting battle in the night
cap by a 6 to 5 margin in the
pair of Carolinas Conference con
tests.
The opener of the Conference
double bill saw Tommy Grant,
N’ewberry ace, and Herbie John
son, Elon southpaw, hook up in
a redhot mound duel. Each pitcher
allowed only three hits, with Grant
walking none and fanning three
and Johnson walking two and
striking out four men.
The Newberry score that clinch
ed the victory came in the sixth
inning on a walk, a sacrifice hit
and a pair of singles. Except for
that one rack, Johnson allowed
only one safety and had set the
Indians down in one-two-threc or
der in each of the first five inn
ings. Grant also had five one-two-
three innings against Elon.
The nightcap battle was a dif
ferent story, with each team un
leashing batting rallies in the
early frames. Elon grabbed a 2-0
□nd and one in the third, with the
Indians unlimbering solo homers |
in each of these two racks, the
two round-trippers coming off the!
bats of Steve Annan and Jack
Whitesides. |
The Christians plated h''
more runs in the bottom of thej
third on singles by Burr’i-i ”eale.
