“Oh Dad, Poor Dad,”
presented by the Elon
Players and directed by
Ed Pilkington was giv
en Nov. 20, 21, 22, 24.
The play, an off-broad
way production was writt
en by Arthur Kopit.
The three-act play cen
ters around Madame
Rosepettle, a weird, do-
mint ering woman who
carries with her the stuit-
ed corpse of her belated
husband. The character of
Madame Rosepettle, por
trayed by Nancy Wilkin
son is the cynosure of
attention. Jim Gillespie
portrays her son, Jona
than, who has spent his
life almost entirely in
doors. He makes a half
hearted attempt to revolt
against his mother’s will
—but to no avail.
Between the man - eat
ing venus fly-trap plants,
a piranha fish that de
vours Siamese kittens and
the appearance of the
corpse, the audience be
comes aware just how un
usual this pseudo - tra
gical farce really is.
The play lacks real
depth. There is evidence
of Schavlan satire on the
plays of Tennessee Will
iams. The absurd is also
an evident element.
The roles of Rosepettle
and Jonathan were
handled with a good deal
of professionalism. The
facial expression of Ste
vie Cowden, in the role
of Rosalie, added addi
tional color to her fine
performance. Dale Kauf
man’s Commadore was
adequate, but not up to
outstanding previous per
formances with the Elon
Players.
The abrupt ending of the
play leaves the audience
in a state of puzzlement.
The Elon Players por
trayed their roles well,
seeking to get the most
out of every character.
Technically, the play ran.
so to spiak, like clock
work.
Though not without
flaws, the Players pro
duction was a fine one and
the total effect was most
successful. (This review
was based on a dress re
hearsal and not the actual
performance. Other re
views and reports prais

Lyceum Violinist
by Janet Winstead
Takaka Nlshizakl, vio
linist, performed Dec.2,
as another part of the
1969-70 Lyceum Series,
Her program included
works by Beethoven,
Franck, Mozart, and
Schubert.
A native of Nagoya, Ja
pan, the child prodigy was
taught in her early years
by her father. Following
graduation from the Suzu
ki Music School, she was
awarded a complete
scholarship to Juilliard
School of Music to study
with Joseph Fuchs. In
1966, she received the
Fritz Kreisler Scholar
ship for the highest
achievement of any vio
linist in the school that
year.
One of the four top fin
alists in the Leventrltt
International Competition
in 1964, the 20-year-old
violinist appeared on tel
evision with the Youth
Symphony in Tokyo, per
formed a special recital
for radio station C.B.C.
in Nagoya, and received
an invitation to perform
a solo reclta 1 at the Su
zuki Summer School.
The nicest thing about
an egotist is that he never
goes around talking about
other people.
Christians Defeat LR Bears 29-0
(Continued from page 1)
McRee left the game be
cause of an injury in the
second quarter, it stop
ped his replacement,
Porter.
“We hoped to get a
quick break and a quick
score like we did at New
berry last week, and when
it happened just that way,
1 figured we had it.”
Lenoir Rhyne’s Hanley
Painter, who saw his
Bears lose their fourth
straight as their record
dipped to 5-4, blamed the
rugged Elon defense for
his team’s defeat.
“Elon defensed us
well,” he said. “They won
it in the first quarter
when they got those 16
quick points. I his is the
worst conference beat
ing I can recall Lenoir
Rhyne ever getting on this
field, f.lon just “whupped
us, and there’s no tell
ing it any other way.
“ I ht l-.lon secondary
was excellent. 1 wasn’t too
impressed with the of
fense other thanMcGeor-
ge’s play, but Elon cer
tainly beat us with that
defense. As for McGeor-
ge, I wasn’t surprised.
We’ve known he was great
ever since he was a fresh
man.”
With a heavy of pro
scouts watching, Mc-
George gave another
great performance. He
caught six passes for 107
yards and two touch
downs, and the two touch
down snags bordered on
the phenomenal.
The first was a 68-
yarder that he caught be
tween two LR defenders
while on the dead run,
over his shoulder. He po
wered through the defend
ers after making the
catch, which was a per
fect strike from Arring
ton, and ran the final 20
yards.
His second TD recep
tion came in the fourth
period. Arrington threw
into the left end zone and
it appeared that he had
overshot his target.But
McGeorge leaped high ov
er an LR defender to
make an almost impos
sible catch and come to
earth inches inside the
end zone.
Arrington himself ac
counted for one score,
going over from the one-
yard line following a 54-
yard drive that was aid
ed by a 40-yard pass in
terference penalty a-
gainst LR.
Moore, who picked up
88 yards in 18 carries
for the Christians, also
hit the scoring column.
After Jernigan intercept
ed a McRee pass on the
LR 43 and returned to
the 19, Joe Rinaca gain
ed nine and Charlie Brad
shaw picked up three for a
first down on the seven.
Moore then took a pitch-
out from Arrington and
crashed into the end-
zone.
Grover Helsley, Elon’s
true - toed placement
kicker, got the Chris
tians on the scoreboard
first with a 39-yard field
goal following a Bartles
fumble that was recover
ed by Wilburn on the LR
26.
Lenoir Rhyne out-
rushed Elon 136 yards to
83 (despite Moore’s per
sonal 88 yards), but Ar
rington lost yardage while
attempting to pass on al
most a dozen occasions.
The Bears were inside
Elon’s 30-yard line four
times, but the Christian
defense seemed to find
extra strength to repel
each threat.
And not to be overlook
ed in Elon’s tremendous
victory was the punting of
Jackie Greene. The Char
lotte youngster punted no
less than nine times for
a 42.6 average, spiral-
