Quaker Five
Downs Elon
By 80 To 75
The Guilford Quakers used points
from the charity stripe to come from
behind and defeat the Fighting Christ
ians cagers 80 to 75 in Greensboro
Coliseum in the final game of the
regular season on Friday night, Feb
ruary 24th, but Elon played the reg-
champs tooth-and-toenail right down
to the wire.
The Christians played fine basket
ball and they jumped to a 16-7 lead
over the Conference leaders early in
the first half, but the Quakers came
back to a 19-18 lead and set up a
bucket-for-bucket scrap the rest of the
way. The Elon cagers were ahead
40 to 36 at half-time and were ahead
69-68 with less than four minutes to
go.
Big Bob Kauffman, 6-8 and 240
pounds, was a massive weapon for the
Quakers as he rocked in 32 points
and pulled down 21 rebounds. He also
turned in a fine defensive job in hold
ing Elon’s Henry Goedeck to seven
pouits, only the second time in 49
games that Goedeck has been in
single figures.
Tom McGee had 23 and Tommy
Davis 21 points, most of them at long
range, to lead the Elon attack, but
lanky Bill Bowes had another fine
night as be got 15 points and 13 re
bounds for the Christians. It was the
fourteenth straight game in which
Bowes has hit double figures.

Beale will also be tied up with
winter football drills until the first

Mensch and infielder Jim Ferebee,
who are also drilling at this time with
the Christian grid squad.
Coach Drake, who returns as coach
to the Elon campus scenes where he
won glory as a varsity pitcher some
years ago, sums up his 1967 prospects
with the statement that “If we hit the
ball, we’ll have a good year. Our
pitching will come around after the
first couple of weeks, and we’ll be
quite strong defensively. What we
really need is a good power hitter for
the clutch situations.” He spoke with
pleasure of the excellent discipline and
fine attitude of all of his players.

Stravinsky has been a permanent
member of the music faculty at the

VARSITY CHEERLEADERS HAVE DONE MUCH TO SUPPORT TEAMS
Y
The Elon College varsity cheerleaders, who have played a major role in both the Fighting Christian football and
basketball seasons this year, are pictured above in a typical action pose. The cheering squad is due great appreciation
from both the varsity athletes and from the student body at large for their fine work during this 1966-67 college term.
The members of the pep group, shown left to right in the above picture are Jo Nelle Skipper, of Madison; Barbara
Hudson, of Elkin; Jane Holler, of Winston-Salem; Sandra Bergman, (chief) of Uncasville, Conn.; Cecilia Cobo,
of Arlington, Va.; Mary Ann Underwood, of Suffolk, Va.; and Junie Sparks, of Charlotte.

no wasted time on the field when the
Christians get outdoors.
The gridders were able to hit the
practice field on the second day of
the winter season, and they have been

for the Fighting Christian gridders,
who reported on Monday, February
20th, for their first workouts under
Coach Red Wilson, newly named chief
grid mentor for the Maroon and Gold
squad.
The first day of the winter season
was featured by a steady downpour
of rain, which kept the more than
forty Christian grid candidates in
doors, but the time was not wasted,
for Coach Wilson ran his charges
through a lengthy “skull session” in
the form of a get-acquainted meeting
and preliminary instruction as to what
would be expccted of them during
the practices.
In opening the meeting. Coach Wil
son greeted his boys with the declara
tion that “we are going into this foot
ball season with a will to win.” He
then introduced other members of the
Elon coaching staff, presenting Assist
ant Coaches Alan White and Jerry
Tolley and Associate Coach Charlie
Justice, the former Carolina All-
American, and all the coaches were
given the opportunity to talk briefly
to the boys during the meeting.
Coach Wilson stressed in particular
the necessity for “pride” in a football
team, calling on the squad for “pride
in performance and pride in appear
ance.” Coach Justice, who spoke very
briefly, urged the Christian gridders
to cultivate the spirit of “enjoyment”
of football both in practice and games,
telling them that “when football ceases
to be fun, then a player should gel out
of the game.”
Coach Wilson cited definite and
detailed assignments for each member
of the coaching staff and assured the
individual players that they would
receive individual attention both on
and off the field, with the coaches
serving as counsellors in academic and
personal problems as well as football.
Among the innovations which he
announced in training plans was the
operation of a "squad fellowship
table” or “training table” for the foot
ball players for the evening meal at
Elon’s McEwen Memorial Dining
Hall, the first time that such a plan
has been used for the Fighting Christ
ians.
Declaring that the rainy days would
not be wasted, Wilson stated that the
Christians would work indoors on

We have no school spirit when it
comes to support of athletic events
either. At least none when we are
losing. We don’t even support the
coaches. The football team had an
unfortunate season this past year. Who
is blamed? Why of course, the
coaches. A whole new coaching staff
is brought^ in. It is not the coaches’
fault nor the players’, but the lack of
school spirit and school pride which
is the problem.
But why should we have pride in a
system which offers us nothing to be
proud of. A reevaluation of the exist

The program, as was the case in
earlier ones conducted last year, was
under the direction of Mrs. Jeanne F.

Prof. Allen Sanders, of the business
faculty. Although the reccnt program
was attended principally by business
majors, it was open to the general
public.
