SATURDAY, FEbaUAH.^^ 5, '' Z 530 Elori Cagers T oj Face Panthers' To liead Eion Attack At High Point ’No.9 Whistle Blows At 8 In High Point Capacity Crowd Expected What is generally considered' a classic . battle in North Carolina basketball circles will take place tonighl .at 8 o’tlo:k in the gyni- nasium cf High' Point- GJlege, when'oiir cannonading Christians invade the campU'3 of the High Point Pantheis. Both teams have faced each other once ihis season in a thrtl'J-a-second game oh our own court. A capacity crowd packed .our gymnasium that night long before game time, and a sim ilar situation is expected tonight. Elon and High Point are co favorites to capture the North State Conference title, and a lot will depend up>-n the outcome of this game. . The Panthers have many rea sons to exert themselves to the utmost to gain a victory in to night’s encounter, and likewise Elon has as many reascns not to let them gain their objective. First of all, High Point would like very much to avenge last year’s defeats which kept them from winning the championship. Secondly, this season’s setback is still fre;h in their memory, and they would like nothing better than to make up for that. Thirdly the individual performan^«!s of some vf our players haV^ , Panthers plenty worried. This is especially true of Lloyd Whit ley, a native of High Point, who usually runs wild against his home townsmen. Last year, he prac tically won this game single handed. Captain Hal Bradley will be watched very closely t>.o, for he is the hottest player in the Conference at present, and high scorer in the last meeting of the two clubs, despite the fact he was guaraed by the brilliant Hampton, High Point’s giant center. Ike Fesmire usually gets vei’y emo tionally aroused by the sight of Panthers too, and much will be expected from him. Jim Abbitt is in the groove at present, and is not only a floor man, but a scoring threat as well. Red Crom- lish, who threw a scare into all of us a short while ago with an attack of appendicitis, will round out the starting line up. Dick’s colorful playing and in-the-pinch ability will be enjoyed by all. Ben Lilien, John Henry Pierca, and several others are bound to see some acti-n. One of the fin est games of the year is expected, so leave early and be ready for something really worth . seeing. Dr. Brown To Speak At College Church • Dr. Robert Brown of Oberlin University, Oberlin, Ohio will be the guest speaker at the College Church t-morrow. His subject will be, “The Living Church”. Dr. Brown is associatea wich tne De partment of Religion and Theol ogy at Oberlin, and is also a member of the executive commit tee of the national council of the Christian-Congregati;nal Church.

Red Cromlish Mrs. Lucas In Fine Recital Last Week Mrs. Cora' Cox Lucas of Greens boro gave an excellent piano re cital Monday evening, January 24, before an appreciative audi ence in Whitley Memorial Audi torium. Mrs. Lucas chose a veiy interesting program from the classic, rc.mantic, and m dern schools. Her remarks concerning the composers represented on the program added much to the en joyment and appreciation of the recital. Her playing proved her artistic and technical mastery at the keyboard. In the first group Mrs. Lucas played “The Nun” by Couperin, and “Gavotte” by Gluek-Brahms. In the second group she played the “Romance” in F sharp major by Schumann, the A-flat Impromp tu my Schubert, and three Chopin numbers—two Preludes and A flat Waltz. Sibelius’ “Romance” and the Albeniz “Tango” conclud ed the first half of the recital. Pr-fessor Stuart Pratt began the second part of the program with two organ numbers, Tch ruf’ zu dir” by Bach, and the Allegro Maesto-39 from Guilmant’s So nata in C minor. As the concluding number Mrs. Lucas gave a brilliant perform ance of the Mendelssohn Concerto in G minor. Professor Pratt played the orchestral accompani ment to the c.ncerto on the or gan.

Alvin Harper, former president of Elon College, has been selected by Dr. L. E. Smith to represent Elon College at Nash ville, Tennessee, during the in auguration of Dr. Oliver C.

Clarence Powell IS back. A little subdued, and not a little weak in the knee, perhaps, but they’re here at Elon again.

With a group of capable officers at the helm, a successful year is assured. The Club, which will meet the first Tuesday of every m^nth, elected the following; President, Elizabeth Gray; Vice- President, Nancy Hoylman; Sec retary, Ruby Lee Foster; Treasur er, Marie Mangum; and Reporter, Betty Gehm. Two social affairs are planned fo give the Club members an op portunity to meet each other in an atmosphere of sociality, free from any business atmosphere. In this way the competent young Pr.fessor McAllister, newly ac quired and much appreciated math teacher, will not teach here the next semester. His plans, al though indefinite, are to resume work on his Ph. D. at Duke Uni versity. We sincerely regret his leaving, and. hope he will return in the near future.

ENTERTALNS business people will find out the social assets of their fellow work ers. Speakers from the outside busi- nes world, prominent men and 'women, will be brought to the Club so that the members may benefit by advice they offer, and learn something of what lies be- f.re on the business horizon of each student. Two other important activities of the Commercial Club will be to sponsor one or two Student Conv ..-cation prgrams at the Monday morning assembly, and to secure positions for business student during the spring holi days. You’ll be hearing a lot more about the Elj-n Commercial Club for they’ve hitched their wagon to a star, and until they reach that star, there’ll be no stopping them!
