Wins From Elon By Score 41-18 In Last Of Virginia Series-Maroon and Gold Machine, In First Game Of Collegiate Season Takes Game From Lenoir By 39-25—Quakers Win From Christians To Tune Of 38-25 Since last week’s issue of Maroon and Gold went to press, the Elon bas ketball team has engaged in three heat ed contests of the sport, wdnning one and losing two of these. Detailed ac counts of these contests follow: V. M. I. The tliird game of the Virginia series resulted in an easy victory for V. M. I. The score was 41 to 18 in favor of the Cadets. The game was cliaracterized from the Virginian point of view as slow’ and uninteresting, but later on in the write-up they gave Elon credit for putting up a stiff defense, and at times show’ing flashes of offensive spirit. The Cadets took the floor with a rush at the start and ran up the score, but as the game ]>rogressed they found it increas ingly difficult to score on account of Elon’s defense tightening all the while. Campbell and Shannon starred for V. M. I., and S. Perry and Fix did good work for Elon. Line-up; V. M. L (41) Elon (18) I’ositioii Kyle ri-'i: Right forward Campbell Newman Left forward Summers S.

Lenoir After a short rest on returning from the Virginia trip, the Maroon and Gold five took on the quint from Lenoir Col lege Saturday night, w^ith which to open the collegiate season on the home court, and trounced them 39 to 25, the Elon team having the edge on the Le- noirians in every department of the game. With Robert Brown, w'ho had been out of the game since Monday of last week with a sprained ankle, back in the line at center, the Elon team seem ed materially strengthened and j)layed in the best form show’n this season. The tloor work was fast and snappy with no individual stars, but with every mem ber doing his part. Newman, Fix, Mc Adams, and L. Perry, each have three field goals to their credit. H. Brown tor Lenoir also caged three field goals. Inaccuracy at the goals and poor floor work on the part of the Lenoir team held their scoring dow’n in the first half. Elon took the floor with a rush, and under an avalanche. of field goals soon left the Leiioirians far behind. Tlie first half ended 23 to 10 in favor of Elon. However, in tlie second half Lenoir tightened her defense and staged a des perate effort at a come-back. In this half she showed more speed and better form and succeeded in making 15 points to Elon’s 16. Elon students have noticed that the Lenoir team has shown marked im- (Continued on Page 3) CUDS BOSILY ENGAGED WITH PLANS FOR PLAY Programs Being Cut Short While Members Rehearse Annual Entertainment The literary program in the Clio Hall for the next three w’eeks w'ill necessari ly be cut short because of the fact that the Clio men will be busily engaged during that time in making prepara tions for the Clio annual entertainment whicli will be given on February 22. Tlie feeling is expressed by Clios that the play w’hich has been chosen this year is the best that has been selected for several years, and w’ith careful prep aration, should j>rove a pleasing produc tion, However, a great deal of study and practice will be required of the actors before the play can be presented, and in order to do this the regular lit erary programs will have to suffer to some extent. In the literary meeting last Monday evening interesting bits of humor were furnished by E. M. Smith, and follow ing Mr. Smith’s selection a very thor oughly prepared and informative paper on ‘The Life of Robert Ingersoll,” by H .E. White, was delivered by G. S. iCcCormick. Other members on the program were excused to practice the play, and after a brief business session the Society adj urned. E ELON AOOIENCE DELIGHTED BY ARTISTS FOORTH CONCERT NUMBER GREAT SUCCESS Caryl Bensel and Roderick White In Joint Concert- Ned Hart At Piano COL. WEST INAUGURATED AS LIEUT. GOVERNOR OF VA. The joint recital of Caryl Bensel, so prano, and Roderick White, violinist, on Wednesday evening, proved one of the most enjoyable of the Music Lov ers’ series. In spite of the w’eather the artists were greeted by a large and enthusiastic audience, which showed its appreciation by its prolonged and in sistent applause. Botli artists seemed to be in a happy mood and w'ere very generous with their encores. Miss Bensel, who is one of our w’cll known American singers, has a charm ing personality and is at ease in all styles. The first group made up of the old masters, showed her voice off to good advantage. The Japanisches Re- genlied, Marx, and Rubenstein’s “Es hlinkt der Thau*’ were very well done, also the Nuit D’Ete, wliich has a de cided Russian flavor. The Arensky number was gi\en with a dramatic fer vor w’liich was very appealing. Liza Lehmann’s “There arc fairies” w'as sung with a delicacy and charm that left nothing to be desired. Of the en cores ‘‘The Icicle” and ‘‘Take Joy Home,” by Bassett, were pleasing, and Cyril Scott’s “Don’t Come in, Sis, Please,” was also well received. Mr. White, who is also an American, proved himself an artist of the first rank. His reading of the Bach-Schu mann Prelude in E major was masterly, and the ballet music from “Rosamund” by Schnbert-Kreisler brought forth a burst of applause such as is seldom heard in the auditorium. The “Indian Liiment” and White’s own “Spanish Serenade” were very interesting, while Beckett’s “Nocturne Orientale” was a wierd bit of loveliness exquisitely done. Ur. White has a w^'irm, pleasing tone and displays a good sound musiciansmp in all he does. His technique, which is adequate, showed up to good advan tage in tlie Sc-her/.o-Tarantelle by Wie niawski. Tbis brilliant and difBcult composition brouglit to a close a concert tliat was enjoyed by all. The violin encores which w’ere well know’n added much to jSIr. White’s popularity, Ned Hart, at the piano, gave splen did support to both artists. Faithful Trustee Of Elon Is Honored By Virginia--Ex- perienced Legislator Col. J. E. West, trustee of Elon, was on February 1 inaugurated as lieuten ant-governor of Virginia. Col, West is an experienced legislator, and will make an ideal presiding officer of the Virginia Senate, in which for many years he has played a leading role as a member from Nansemond and Southampton Counties. Maroon and Gold nonynates him for governor four years hence and feels sure he will till that sta1:ion, too, with the same eminent success which has characterized his long political career. Elon is fortuiiate in having such a trustee. GOLD BASKET TOSSERS SNATCH E FROM FIRE AND DEFEAT N. C.

Last Monday night’s program was one that w^ould recall to the minds of the members' the “good old days” when platform and literary aspirants in the hall exhorted w'hile the hour-hand wended its w’eary way around the clock dial thrice. jVL L.

The final count was 20 to 18. Fouls lost the game for State, tw’enty- three being called on her by Coach Steiner, of Trinity, from, w’hich Elon realized twelve points. The game was fast and exciting from the start to the finish and at no period dragged. State exhibited a tendency to run with tlie ball W’hile dribbling, which was respon sible for a number of the fouls called on her. Both teams were guarded closely, and the offensive i>lay while carried on to good advantage in the middle of the floor by both teams, w'ould break under the airtight guarding of the opponents when it neared the goal. The visitors had the better of the passing game in the first half, but weakened in the sec ond. Taking the lead early in the first ]\alf State held a slight advantage throughout the period. The first half ended 11 to 10 in favor of State. Until near the middle of the second half State held a few points lead, but at this juncture of the fray Elon rallied and by fast floor work coupled with foul goals tied the score. The score was knotted twice again before the final whistle blew. With the score standing at a tie and only fifteen second of play remaining a double foul was called on Johnson of State and Fix caged both tries for Elon’s winning points. McAdams for Elon played a stellar game at guard and is due considerable credit for keeping State’s score down. Working hard and fast he showed the basketball fans who witnessed this game some real guarding. Fix has both the honor of shooting the last field goal, which tied the score, and then caging both the foul tries that netted the winning points. Fix dis played real “spunk,” considering the fact that because of recent si’ckness, by rights he should not ^have been in the game at all.
