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.

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.
