Gainers In Snappy
Encounter.
BEARCATS SHOW STUFF
The Elon Bearcats showed up well
last Saturday, although they lost a
game to the Oak Ridge cadets by the
score of 14 to 0. Elon’s showing lay
principally in her line, since the back
field was unable to get into actic«i.
The Bearcats registered only one first
down to ten for the visitors.
The Elon reserves held well most of
the time, but twice the fast cadets
succeeded in inarching through for
touchdowns. Oliver and Goodson suc
ceeded in making several nice gains,
yet several times they were spilled for
losses.
The first score was in the second
j)eriod when Goodson grabbed a short
punt near the side line and raced 30
yards before being stopj)ed on Elon’s
5-yard line. Oliver took the pig
skin over on the first play and added
the extra point. The second touch
down was the result of a drive from
-midfield through the Reserve line.
Oliver again added the extra point by
a drop kick.

MAROON ANO GOLD TEAM
PLAYS LYNCRRORG SAT.
Last Out-of-Town Game This Year.
Indications Are Tliat Game Will
Be Hard-Fought.
On Saturday afternoon the Fighting
Christians will face an opponent that
will really try their mettle. The name
“Fighting Christians” became attach
ed to the Elon football team several
years ago and it has stuck to them.
So far this season there lias been a
marked falling off of that fighting
spirit that has heretofore marked the
Maroon and Gold eleven. Saturday the
team will go up against Lynchburg
College and it will have an opportunity
to demonstrate to the world in general
that it has either lost that traditional
fighting spirit or that it is still imbued
with the spirit tliat won that name.
The Lynchburg team has had a
somewhat desultory season thus far, al
though it has been somewhat better
than our season to date. The two in
stitutions rank about the same, as to
number of students, and so-forth, with
a slight advantage being on our side.
Three years ago the}' were played to
a one touchdown tie on Comer field.
The next year we beat them with a
field goal at Lynchburg. Last year
they beat us sixteen to nothing on

The Vesper concluded so far as the
printed program was concerned with
the beautiful “Festival March” of

tion, and her company composed of

ond number of the Music Lovers’ Club

Helen Ware has dedicated lier entire
life and talents to the musical art of
the Hungarian and Slav. Successful
concert tours all over the co*ntinent and
in America have won for her hundreds
of thousands of admirers. Besides her
numerous literary. works and original
compositions, Helen Ware has also ac
complished much with her artistic ar
rangements of hitherto unknown Hun
garian and Slav melo'dies, and Gennett
Records of same, toward creating a bet
ter understanding of these fascinating
and weird melodies.
Supporting Miss Ware is Charles T.
Ferry, a pianist and composer of many
successful musical numbers in various
forms, who has been meeting with
marked success in piano recital of his
own music. He has an enviable record
as an accompanist for such well known
artists as Florence Hinkle, Merle Al-
cock, Lila Roberson, John Barnes Wells,
and others. For more than two years
he has proved a valuable assistant to
Helen Ware and has shared honors in
many of her programs.
Ethel Shepard, soprano, who is also
with Miss Ware, is possessed of a
pleasing voice and charming personal
ity that has been developed by many
years experience singing for audiences
all over the country. An interesting
feature of the program will be the
presentation by Miss Shepard of a
number of Mr. Ferry’s well known
songs. These will be selected from a
list of more than thirty published songs
by this young American composer.

COBLE’S HOME ALMANAC
PLAGES JAN. 18 IN OATES
Anniversary of Great Elon Fire Listed
Among Important Events in North
Carolina History.
Coble’s Plome Almanac for Guilford
county for the year 1926 now in its
fifth edition has just been received at
Elon Co'llege and there is general satis
faction that under important events in
North Carolina history, past and pres
ent, the date of the Elon College fire
is listed under January 18, 1923. This
is interpreted by the friends and stu
dents of the college as meaning not
that the destruction of the old adminis
tration building for us was a things to
be desired, but that the rebuilidng of
the college through the generous kind
ness and liberality of its friends is one
of the most important events that has
occurred in North Carolina history in
these latter years, and the fact that
this famous almanac has given such
recognition to the event is a source of
satisfaction and pleasure to the faculty
and students alike. It is doubtful
whether any’ other North Carolina fire
has ever been listed in an almanac that
purports to give important events in
the history of the state.
