site of the annual Carolinai. NAIJ Tournament on Monday
Tuesday February 25th and 2£th. j , ,1,
This tournament, which U to be staged Just ahead of the an
nual North State Conference meet in Statesville, Is one of thirty-
two sectional eliminations sponsored by the National Associat
of Intercollegiate Basketball and scheduled for various parts
the United States.
The winners in each of these sectional eliminations wUl repre-
«rnt their respective sections in the Association's national cage
tournament, which is to be held in Kansas City in March T is
tournament annually attracU fom- of the fastest college ba:.letbal
tcjuAdu in Am^ricd.
The Presbyterian College Blue
Stockings, twice winner* over
. Klon this season, have aI(H‘ady
clinched a berth in the meet here
by virtue of their mark in the
••l.ittle Four" race. It now ap
pears that the other entries will
be the three top team* In the
Nortjf State race, and at this point
in the reason it appears that no
Ick* than five team* have excel
lent chances to qualify.
Those contenders at this stage
of the campaign include Elon.
Appalachian, High Point, East
Carolina and Lenolr-Rhyne. All
still have mathematical chances
to win a berth, and a slip on the
part of any two would shoot the
other three into the sectional
meet.
Ihe Carolina'* NAIB meet was
opened at Hickory last spring, but
attendance there proved so disap
pointing as to force the removal
of the finals to the Elon Gym,
where High Point defeated East
Carolina for the right to play in
Kansas City.
The tournament here will get
underway on Monday night, Feb
ruary 25th, with two games. The
winners of those two battles will
then meet In the finals on Tues
day night, February 26th, for the
Carolinas NAIB title.

up in commercial typing lab, for
they have chalked four victories

ELON 65, APPAL.^CHLiN 58
An attempt to
makes people react as they do un
der certain conditions, with
intellectual fighting the hman
and sincere reactions of others,
as portrayed in the Elon Players
presentation of “Gioconda Smile
on Thursday and Friday, January
30th and 31st, gave Mrs. Elizabeth
R. Smith’s dramatic proteges their
strongest challenge in many years
ol stage productions.
The result of this challenge and
efforts was that the Elon Players
developed in those two nights one
of the finest, if not the finest
mystery-drama production in their
history.
• Gioconda Smile,-i n three acts
by Aldous Huxley, was the play,
but rather confusing title was not
indicative of the high quality of
entertainment it offered.
The Elon Players have found
many successes in the past for
casting and acting, and this most
recent production added another
important phase of stage work to
those achievements. The setting
and the professional touch of the
scenery design has never been
better, with final act featuring the
shifting of the spotlight from one
side of the stage to the other as
a jail cell and the den of a home
competed in solving a mystery,
Ed Engles, best known to local
theatre-lovers as the man for
whom “The Man Who Came To
Dinner” must have been written
once again showed himself to be
an actor of marked ability and
one whose future appears assured
if he should decide to enter the
theatre for a career.
As Henry Hutton, the wealthy
artist, Engles controlled the play.
He convinced his audience that
there is an intellectual side in
man's reasoning by using history
and rather simple deductions to
explain human reactions and hu-
^ I- I ’^^^^®^®“*"®(manity's fight against the world.

ELON 68, HIGH POINT 61
Another contender bit the dust
when Elon defeated High Point
68 to 61 here on Monday, Febru
ary 4th. to retain her grip on the
North State leadership. It was
the second crucial victory for the
Christians in three nights.
Nelvin Cooper, a High Point
boy. had his best night of the
year in dropping 19 points from
his guard post for Elon, v
A1 Godwin, whose home was at
Kenly, formerly a member of the
staff of the Maroon and Gold, is
reported to be serving with the
armed forces in Korea.

day, February 6th, before a“High

Joan Wickman, as Janet Spen;e

of loving, hating, acting jyrapi|

and the world.
If there was any room for a
icism, and such criticism was
ficult, it lay in the fact that tl*
role of Doris Mead, young secoi
wife of Henry Hutton was peiiiaj
slightly overacted the first evs
