This work, different in many respects from the bulk of Bach's keyboard music, offers a chal lenge to the pianist. Mr. Sweat’s superb musicianship^ was at once in evidence as he managed to em phasize the more romantic as pects of this work while remain- clearly within the bounds oi he Bach tradition.

The scene has now been estab lished. Now, we come to the players in the mighty drama. I must butt in as the first one.

So were several oth er young ladies, also newcomers They trailed along behind her. They looked a trifle lost.

Church leaders hope to start construction this summer on the bui'cling, which is of such design as to blend well with the traditional architecture of the college buildings. Mr. Sweat a fine opportunity for levealing a lightness of touch and a sense of humor which is as- urcdly of great importance to any performing artist. In the Barr- tok dances the pianist revealed a strong feeling for rhythmical jm- pulne. panHcularly effective in ‘Braul” and “Maruntel,” and an excellent sense of phi-asing and onal control in the playing of nelody line, an ability equally im pressive in the e.ncor? selection ■Jszt's D Flat Consolation. A group of Chopin numbers re vealed a sublety of nuance and a remarkably fresh interpretative talent which were a t^ic pleasure 0 the listener. The Fantasie-lm- promptu. Op. 66. was performed with a rhythmical impact and pas- ■''r.a'.’ force of expression which made this familiar work seem eter- lally new. Contrasting with this was the magnificently controlled perform ance of the A Minor Mazurka. Op '7. No. 4. played with the utmost •ubiety, unmarred by even a sug- :eslicn of overstatement.

The reiterated chorale theme with its contrasting caden za passages, as played by Mr. Sweat, stands out as one of the iTiost exciting and memorabl? mo ments this reviewer has ever ex perienced from the recital stage.

BRIEF SPORTS (Continued From Page Three) While speaking of Elon gra(iual3£ who are making good in the coac'i ing ranks, it is well to give a big hand to George Shackleford, who carried his strong Mebane High boys through another great sea son. His team, which won the State Class "A’' crown last winter, lost only one game this year, that be ing in the finals of their distric. tourney at Greensboro. Still another Elon coaching star vhose team lost only one game— and that by a single point—was Don Packard, former Christian basketball captain, who came back out of armed service this ye?r to direct the Sanford High School boys to a brilliant record. « • « And so, one might go on and on. listing former Elon stars who have i made good this winter in the coaching circles, but space for-1 bids outlining the complete records of them all. Just a few others in provide good coverage. l.r.K. UIAMPS (Continued From Page Three! League.
