Poor Playing of Maroon and
Gold Squad in First Part
Loses for Elon, 20-7.
The Maroon and Gold eleven e'Xpori-
enced its secoud defeat of tlie foot
ball season last Saturday, at tlie liaurls
of Woft'ord College, at Spartanburg, S.
C. Gibson’s wide e-nd ruiis were tlie
sole source of Wofford’s scoring abil
ity, for their feeble attempts gain
through the line were easily blocked.
A fumble within a few yards of the
goal line prevented Elon from scoring
in the first quarter. In the second half
Elon came back like a fresh team. In
an unbroken march of line plunging,
they carried the pigskin across the line
within three minutes of the openiag of
this period. Fumbles again prevented
Elon from scoring after this goal had
been made.
Quoting the Charlotte Observer:
“Spartanburg, S. C., Oct. 15.—Wof
ford defeated Elon College here this
afternoon in a ragged game, Wofford
playing poorly during the second half.
Elon out-played the Terriers in this
half and pushed the ball over the goal
line, using straight tactics. Gibson’s
wonderful end-running was the biggest
factor in Wofford’s scoring. Wofford’s
line was woefully weak. Fumbles were
very costly to Elon.”
The only injury of consequence dur
ing the game was to Wofford’s cap
tain, who had to retire.
Score by quarters:

Former Student of Elon, Now
Editor of The Christian
Sun, Speaks.
Mr. Dwight Chalmers, the student Y.'
M. C. A. secretary of Davidson College,
was on the hill this week to inspect
the Y. M. C. A. work that is being
(lone at Elon. Mr. Chalmers is a gradu
ate of Davidson College, having finished
with the class of ’20, and since that
time he has been engaged in the Y. M.
C. A. work at his alma mater. This
year he is doing M. A. work at David
son, and also is serving as State Stu
dent Y. M. C. A. secretary. His work
will be with Guilford, Elon, Trinity,
and Wake Forest, in addition to the
work at Davidson.
While on the liill Mr. Chalmers vis
ited the white and colored graded
schools, and inspected the work that is
being done there by the Y. M. C. A.
and the department of religious educa
tion. He also visited the Christian Or-

The ministerial students were very
fortunate in having Rev. C. B. Riddle,
Editor of The Christian Sun, to speak
last Wednesday night. He gave a very
practical tiilk. The gathering was late
and the speaker did not take any par
ticular subject, but eve-rything was to
the point and he “hit the nail on the
head” in the ministerial problems of
today.
He gave some very helpful thoughts
as to the duty of the minister. He also
made it very plain that we should first
take the pill before we try to give it
to the other fellow; in other words,
to go to God and get our own bodies,
hearts and lives clean, before we at
tempt to give any advice or to lead our
fellowman to God.
He also told how valuable it is to
have an educatiion. “The time has

that she has one of the best equipped

under the direction of Mr. W. E. Moon.
The students welcomed Mr. Chalmers
and expressed the hope that his visits
would be very frequent during the year.

Walter Greene and Francis
Moore Received at the
Harper Residence.
Following the Greene-Moore concert
on Thursday night, Dr. and Mrs. Harper
and Coach and Mrs. Corboy, at the Har
per residence, received in lionor of the
artists. These artists are not only sin
cere musicians, but charming, cultured
men as well.
The guests were received in the- draw
ing room and then passed on to the
library, where Miss Fisher and Mr.
Alexander preside-d at the punch-bowl.
The library, which is a large and at
tractive room, had its beauty enhanced
by masses of golden rod and ferns artis
tically arranged. The same decorations
were usesd in the dining-room, and the
color scheme was the same throughout,
even to the salad, ices and candies.

I I. O. Hauser Tells of Prospects
for Phipsicli-r—Freshmen to
Have Additional Space.
The program which was rendered in
the Phi hall last Monday night had
some interesting features. A declama
tion by W. E. Graham was the open
ing number. Mr. Graham was followed
by ‘ ‘ My Impressions of Elon From All
Standpoints,” given by Thomas E. Ban
ner. It was interesting to learn just
what a Freshman thought of the col
lege and its activities. W. K. Hood
told of the impressions that Elon’s fac
ulty had made on him. Mr. Hood saw
the humorous side of the faculty and
featured it to the amusement of the
society.
I. O. Hauser, editor of the Phipsicli,
talked of the prospects for this year’s
annual. From what Mr. Hauser said
it is to be inferred that the annual has
n line chance of being the best one yet.
More space is to be given Freshmen,
Mr. Hauser said, and he believes that
this -recognition will create a greater
interest: ,of Freshmen in the \annual.
P. P. Hatley, O. H. King, Calvin Lefler,
T. B. Mellett, David Miller, R. V. Mor
ris and S. R. Moffitt furnished other
features of the program.
“Resolved, That labor unions should
be abolished” was the subject of the
debate. M. W. Hook and E. S. John
son represented the affirmative, while
H. W. ATay and S. M. Lynam defend
ed the negative. The decision was ren
dered unanimously in favor of the af-
advice as to how we sliould apply it to
our work in order that we may get
the best results, and urged that we be
very careful how we use our ability as
orators in the pulpit. His reason for
it was that the world is dying for the
true gospel and not for orators. Not
in these words did lie say this, but this
was the meaning. His speech was fill
ed with helpful thoughts. W© should
he earcful, and take heed, lest we fal
ter by the way. If we as young min
isters hope to make the world better,
we must lay aside every weight and the
sin which so easily besets us, and run
with patience the race that is ahead.
Let us remember that our future prog
ress depends largely on our conduct and
the impressions we make while we are
in college. The confidence of the world
depends largely on the confidence of
the ones who know us best, and if we
are to gain the confidence of our friends
we must take heed to what Mr. Rid'
die has said. The Ministerial Associa
tion gladly welcomed Mr. Riddle-.
Kirkland and Lawrence, while Mrs.
Sturm and Mr. Betts made themselves
generally useful about the rooms.
Mr. Greene and Mr. Moore- are very
broad-minded and interesting men, and
it is always a great pleasure to meet
great artists in such an intimate way.
The honors were carried off by Thom
as E. Hanne-r as best oratorically; E. S.
Johnson, best on the affirmative; S. M.
Lynani, best on the negative.

TWO MEMDEDS DF ‘FAID
SEX' iim By CLios
Clio Literary Society Breaks All
Precedents—Ladies Elected
to Honorary Membership
The initial number of the Concert
and Lecture course, which is being
brought to the college under the aus
pices of the Music Lovers’ club, was
given in the college auditorium Thurs
day night to a large and enthusiastic
audience by Walter Greene, American
baritone, and Francis Moore, pianist.
Everyone was expecting something good
because of all that had been said and
because of the flattering press notices
which had been received. There were
many people from both Greensboro and
Burlington present. After the first
numbers it was evident that the pro
gram was being given by real artists.
Mr. Greene has a clear, powerful, res
onant voice. He is a stalwart young
baritone. His diction is excellent and
he does things surprisingly well. In
his singing of the cellini “Combien”
number, with its rich, surging harmony,
he was a reminder of Bispham. He did
ample credit to the exactions of a
group of French songs, both in the
music and texts. His enunciation was
clear and his pronunciation was good.
The groups of Old Irish Ballads and
modern songs were sung extremely well.
He has an excellent sense of dramatic
values and inner meanings of the songs
which he essays, and he has a wide
range of music.
Though Francis Moore is heard sev
eral times each week in the concert
halls of New York as accompanist, and
has frequently given concerts of his
own outside of New York city, ^ made
his professional bow to a New York
audience on October 11, 1921, in Aeo
lian hall.
He was enthusiastically received
Thursday night at Elon College, and
proved beyond a doubt that he deserves
everything that has been said about
)iis artistic playing. Mr. Moore play
ed his program with rare finish, artis
tic poise and astounding success. He
took “infinite pains” in his playing
of the Prelude by Haberbier and Julia
King’s arrangement of a Guilmant Or
gan Fugue, Chopin’s G-Minor Ballade,
Liszt’s “Forest Murmurs,” and “La
Campanella. ” It is to be wished that
more programs were prepared as this
was.
lie has a remarkable technique which
was shown to advantage in ‘ ‘ La Cam-
panella. ” His tone and interpretations
were wonderful. Both artists respond
ed to numerous encores.
The next number of the course will
be a lecture by Shaw Desmond, No
vember 15.
On last Sunday evening, the Religious
organizations met in mass meeting in
chapel where Y. W. C. A. had in charge
the installation of new members.
With music by Miss Lawrence, the
new girls, in white uniforms, marched
into the building. As each filed to her
place, she lighted a candle and remained
standing under candlelight. Miss
Wheeler, President, gave a hearty wel
come. In her talk, she stressed as mean
ing of Y. W., service, love, and sacri
fice. That they might grow stronger
in each of these by the little light
caught upon entering life is but one,
but through prayer God multiplies it to
bless multitudes.
May every soul that touches thine,
Be it the slightest contact, get there
from some good,
Some little grace, one kindly thought,
One aspiration yet unfelt; one bit of
courage for the darkening sky,
One gleam of faith to brave the thick
ening ills of life.
One glimpse of brighter sky beyond
the gathering mists.
To make this life worth while, and
heaven a surer heritage.
The new members res^Donded willingly
as they always do. Following program
continued:
Association Song—“Follow the Gleam”
Prayer
Solo—“In the Garden”—Miss Goff
Dr. Lawrence gave a thrilling address
on purpose of Y. W. membership. In
it, he brought out faith in God, service,
growth in character and a united effort
to extend the Kingdom of God through
out the world.
Lastly, Miss Wheeler read the Affir
mation of Purpose and closed with si
lent prayer.
All precedents w’ere broken in the
Clio literary hall last Monday evening
when two attractive young members of
the fair sex were admitted to the mem
bership of the Clio Literary Society.
Never before in the memory of those
present had such a wise or brilliant
move been taken by this historic and
time-honored organization. However, as
was shown by unanimous vote of the
Clio lads, this step was considered a
very progressive and popular move, and
might well be taken as a step forward
in the era of co-education. The fair
young brides of Messrs. L. M. Cannon
and R. S. Rainey were elected to hon
orary membership of the society. This
action was taken by the society partly
because of the high esteem which is
felt by the society for the popular
young husbands, who have been very
active and A'^ery loyal members of the
organization, and also perhaps because
it was believed that domestic felicity
might be promoted if society matters
j could be more freely discussed in the
I family circle.

The Music Lovers Club held the sec
ond meeting of the season in Mr. Betts ^
studio on Tuesday eveningj^the eleventh,
twenty-two of the members were pres
ent.
The club is taking up the study of the-
opera this year and this meeting was
given over to Mozart and his operatic
works. The papers on his life and the
most important works were well thought
out and proved very interesting. The
musical numbers, too, were well given.
Since it is only occasionally that ex
cerpts from their operas are heard one
is not as familiar with the plots as we
ought to be. It is true that the lib
retti are mediocre and in some cases
very weak, but in spite of this the
genuis of Mozart has made them true
as works.
The program follows:

The Story of “Don Giovanni”
Miss Hendriks
Violin Solo—“Batti, Batti” from “Don
Giovannie” Mrs. Sturm
The Story of “The Magic Flute”
