Dr. Elbel Has Been 'That Character' In The Cage Since The Early Thirties
"Iimmediately following the game, we will have one of those very unofficial summaries," are words which should be familiar to all students who attend the home basketball games. The voice responsible for this and other such comments belongs to E. R. Elbel, professor of physical education.
By RAYMOND SOLDAN
Professor Elbel has handled the public address system since its inception at varsity basketball and football games in the early 1930's with the exception of four years during the war. This University was one of the first in this part of the country to recognize the value of the public address system at basketball games.
One of the chief duties of the announcer is to keep the spectators reminded that it is just a "game" which they are watching. Professor Elbel achieves this admirably well with a few timely remarks. For example, during a comparatively silent moment; he is likely to break in with the observation: "Quiet isn't it?" or "Somebody say something." He was gracious enough at the Drake game to remind students that final examinations were to begin the next day. And then, several weeks later, during a half-time bull whip demonstration, he suggested that, now that finals were over, there might be some students who would like to see certain instructors or professors on the receiving end of the whips.
Contrary to many students' beliefs, Professor Elbel's voice does not originate from the scorers bench, nor does it come out of thin air, nor from the chandelier, but rather from the organ loft above the right side of the stage.
Hays, Kan., Feb. 23—(U.R.)-T he tight scramble for secondary honors in the C.I.C. basketball conference changed profile today as Fort Hays State squeezed by faltering St. Benedict's to claim second place in the league.
Fort Hays Goes To 2nd
A hometown crowd of 1,400 went wild as the local boys left the court at intermission with a 45 to 31 advantage, and came back to double their score in the second stanza.
The Hays Tigers romped all over the Atchison quintet here Tuesday night, 90 to 56, as they got their revenge for an earlier 51 to 72 drubbing handed them by St. Benedict's early in the season.
The win left Fort Hays in second place in a 6-4 season record. Emporia State had the 1948-49 cage crown firmly in hand, unbeaten in nine starts and facing only two remaining conference games.
But it left Hays, St. Benedict's (6-5), Washburn (5-5), Pittsburg (5-5), and Southwestern (4-6), in a tight race for the place and show money.
