Player Show
Postponed
One Week
Opening date for the first Elon
Players offering of the year, “The
Man Who Came to Dinner,” has
been set back one week, due to a
previously undiscovered conflict
in the college calendar, accord
ing to Mrs. Elizabeth R. Smith,
director of the Elon Players. The
previously announced opening
date of November 1 is therefore
changed to November 8.
To run for only two days on
the Elon stage, “The Man Who
Came to Dinner” is new in its
third week of rehearsals, and is
potentially the best comedy ever
offered by the Players here.
For the first time in the history
of the Players, the group, in an
effort to arouse interest in the
theatre and to raise funds needed
by the Players to carry out their
unusually large program, has
made an all-out drive to gain in
dividual patrons, who, in exchange
for their patronage, receive an
honorary membership in the
Players’ organization which en
titles them to admission to all the
productions and Players functions
of the year.

the queer costumes that some of
the girls wore and that sleepy
look that fogged the eyes of many
of the boys were just some of the
many evidences that another “Bid
Night” had come and gone, and
the pledges of last week have
become the new “brothers” and
“sisters” of this week.
There were thirteen girls and
thirty-eight boys who accepted
bids to the four sororities and
four fraternities on Saturday
night, October 14th, the occasion
of the semi-annual bid night. The
total of fifty-tw6 new Greek let
ter members marked the highest
number of additions admitted to
membership in the past two years.
Alpha Pi Delta led in number
accepted, admitting thirteen new
members into the brotherhood.
They were Bob Wright, Dick

GREAT HOME COMING

ing Queen and her court, a tribute

The Elon band , reached the
high point of its rejuvenation
movement at the Home Coming
game, when it became once more
^ marching unit, with drum ma
jors and majorettes and with ac
robatic stunts and other special
features to entertain the crowd.
Outstanding in the Home Com
ing picture were the gaily decorat
ed dormitories and residence
halls, which were competing for
the new alumni plaque. A special
alumni committee, named by
Alumni Secretary James F. Dar
den and including Royall H.
Spence, Jr., of Burlington; Mrs.
John H. Rountree, of Greensboro;
and Mrs. Leon E. Smith, Sr., of
Elon College; awarded the prize
for the best decorated building to
Oak Lodge, which used a ship
scheme in its decoration.
The success of the Home Com
ing program was due to coopera
tion of all student groups, but
credit for its planning goes to the
Entertainment Committee, which
includes Worth Womble, chair
man, Ray McKenzie, Betty Joyner
and Speck Harper.

By JOE SPIVEY
The Indian war was resumed last
Saturday, and this time it was the
Catawba Indians who fell before
the blistering attack of a strong
Fighting Christian eleven. Playing
before a large Home Coming crowd,
the Christians rolled over the hap
less Indians on the ground and in
the air to tuck an important scalp
under their belts in a 26 to 12
North State Conference victory.
The Catawbas advanced up to
the stockade of the Memorial Stad
ium in Burlington, confident of a
masacre, after taking a beating on
their hunting grounds last year,
but some old Indian Fighters were
there to repulse the vengeful
Braves from Salisbury.
First there was Lou Rochelli,
who passed for three touch
downs and set up another; then
there was Bob Lewis, who caught
two long touchdown passes; and
Fred Biangardi, who opened the
Indian line for nice gains. 6thers
aiding and abetting were Grayson
Brigman, Marshburn, Ellis and
Erickson on offense, and DeSi
mone, Gero, Annas, McCracken,
Marshall and Reece on defense.
The Catawba tribe drew first
blood in a big second quarter
when Coble rifled a 28-yard pass
to Joe Oxendine, but Elon was
not long in tying the count. Gray
son returned the kick-off to the
25, Brigman reversed his field
and romped for twenty, and Lou;
Rochelli threw to Pete Marshburn
on Catawba’s twenty-eight. Sec
onds later, Rochelli passed to
Marshburn for the tying touch
down. Gero missed the kick.
Then came the thriller-diller!
Pickens caught Biangardi’s kick-
off on the Catawba two, raced up
the middle to the thirty,' cut for
the left sideline and then tight-
roped the sideline the rest of the
way to pay-dirt on a 98-yard run.
Coble must have been as stunned
as the Elnoites, for he missed the
kick, but Catawba led 12 to 6.
Touchdowns could be had for
the asking this quarter, it seemed,
for Greenwood carried the next
kickoff to the Elon 40, and the
first play from scrimmage saw
Rochelli drop back and heave a
tremendous pass to Bob Lewis for
a 60-yard touchdown play. It
was the third touchdown in less
than 90 seconds. Gero booted the
point to put Elon ahead
Rochelli duplicated this play in
the third quarter when he passed
to Lewis again for 55 yards and a
ttfu^hdown, and Gero booted
again. After recovering a Ca
tawba fumble on the forty-seven,
the Christians drove for their fin
al score. Biangardi bulled over
from the one, and the count was
26 to 12.

they were followed by Martha
Ellen Johnson, Maid of Honor, es
corted by Deward Hooker; and
thus the stage was set for grand
entrance of Queen Christine
Tclumaras, escorted by Harry
Farmer. She moved to the
throne, set against a golden back
ground, and there she was crown
ed by Robert Wright, president
of the Student Body.
The gymnasium was beautifully
decorated for the occasion, a
Maooon and Gold decorative
scheme being executed by the
members of the SCA under the
direction of Emma Jean Clayton.
The bright colors and soft lights
not only served as a background
for the coronation, but also en
livened the dance itself, which
was to the music of Jimmy Perkins
and his Orchestra.

In Nashville, Tennessee, there is
always a friendly gathering of
Vanderbilt University stuJents at
the Vanderbilt Center on the cam
pus. And as in universities every
where, ice-cold Coca-Cola helps
make these get-togethers something
to remember. As a refreshing pause
from the study grind, or on a Satur
day night date—Coke belongs.
Ask Jor it either way ... both
