PAGE FOUR MAROON AND GOLD Wednesday, March 22, 1950 Eton Grid Squad Will Stage First Annual Maroon-Gold Game Elon students and grid fans of this area will get a pre-view of vhe 1950 model of the Fighting Christian machine on Saturday afternoon of this week, when the Christian gridders will divide into iwo teams and play the first an nual Maroon-Gold game at Bur lington Stadium. The kick-off is ^et for 2:30 o’clock. Games similar to this have been staged by other colleges in the state for several years,, such fea ture being conducted usually to mark the conclusion of winter and spring iootball practice. This game on Saturday, however, marks the first time that such a game has been played at Elon. Coach Jim Mallory, in com menting on plans for the battle, stated that the squad will be di vided into two teams of as near equal strength as possible, assur ing the Students and fans ef a hard-fought game. The rival team* will we« dif ferent uniforms, one in gold and the other in maroon, and the game itself will have all the trap pings that go with a regular inter collegiate cont«t. Coach Doc Mathis will handle one of the squads, with Coach Garland Wolfe slated to direct the erther. Cold and rainy weatlier had hendicapped the Christian squad through mach of its winter prac tice season, but Coach iCallory has commented more than once that the squad had shown remarkable spirit in its aff-Mason work. This driving spirit is expected to come to the fore in the MarOon- Gold game this weekend, and changes in the basic single-Wing offense are expected to bring out a more wide-open offensive than was shown by last year’s team. Admission to the Maroon*Gold £ame will be free to everyone, ac cording to plans released this week, but a free-will donation will be solicited at the gate from any who care to contribute, and all proceeds above expends will be turned over ot the Elon gymna sium fund.

Elon Croivd Liked Opera Given Here By BOB WRIGHT About 200 people enthusiastic ally applauded a performance of Mozart’s comic opera ‘‘School For Lovers,” presented by the Opera Department of the North Carolina Federation of Music Clubs in Whitley Auditorium on Wednes day night, February 22. The four or five curtain calls demanded by the audience at tested to the way they received the lively efforts of the singers. The music was bright, pleasant, and tuneful, showing that opera is not the painful experience the absentees apparently thought it would be. The setting was ade quate, and the costumes were col orful and attractively fresh Virginia Groomas, of the music faculty, graced the cast with her sweet voice and appearance and did not show that she iperform- ed without the benefit of exten sive rehearsal with the cast. Although all the voices were on a par, perhaps the smoothest performer on the stage was A. J. Fletcher, who sang and played Don Alfonso up to the liilt. David Witherspoon and James Edwards did well with their characteriza tions of two dashing officers. Jus- tyn Carter sang and acted well in her role of DorabeUa, and Marie Van Hoy was just as cute and pert as a comic opera waiting maid should be. The recitatives were the only noticeably weak spots in the pro duction, and this can certainly be pardoned. The ensemble singing and the arias were all well done. It Is to be hoped that this “grass roots” opera movement will flour ish. It is an artistic contribution and good entertainment. oLLbaos:‘a Leo Kampman, varsity golfer, shot a “birdie” on the Alamance Country Club course last week, and in this case it was a real feath ered “birdie.” On a wood shot, Kampman’s ball struck a bird in flight, and the bird came off a bad second in the mid-air collision.
