And Virginia
Maryland Playing
Clemson Tonight
And Navy Tomorrow
pictures on Page ca

District basketball fans have a
wide variety of games to choose
from this week end. with tomor-
row nights double header at the
Armory headlining the program.
Maryland starts things off to-
night in a Southern Conference
battle with Clemson at 8:15 at
College Park, then moves over to
Annapolis tomorrow afternoon to
duel Navy's unbeaten quintet.
Wilson Teachers also will see &C
tion tonight. engaging Madison
Teachers at 8:15 at the American
U. gym. Another game tonight
finds Gallaudet at Lynchburg
(VaJ College.
Tomorrow night brings Har-
ward and Virginia to the Armory
as opponents of Georgetown and
George Washington. respectively.
The Hoyas and Harvard open the
bargain bill at 8 pm, with the
Inightcap following Immediately.
To date Clemson lost two games
to Georgia and in its last start
nosed out Presbyterian. The
Tigers usually start slowly but
finish fast. and Coach Flucie
Stewart of the Terps hopes to
catch them before they hit their
stride.
Maryland at 500 Mark.
After it's opening road trip on
which it lost three straight, Mary
land came back to beat the Cen
erals and then lost in the last
minute to Penn. Maryland's rec
ord in the Conference is 500 with
victory and defeat.
Harvard and Georgetown are
making basketball comebacks
under new coaches after dismal
seasons last year.
Harvard won only three games
and lost 20 last year, but between
seasons signed Norman Shepard,
for years one of the South's best
liked and most respected coaches
while at Davidson College.
Thus far. Harvard has beaten
Tufts by nine points, Boston Uni
versity by 26 and Boston College
by five and lost by two to a good
Navy team.
Under Coach Buddy O'Grady,
former Hilltop star, the Hoyas
have defeated Catholic u, Amer
ican u. the New York A. c. and
Penn State and while winning
have been playing sharp. crowd
pleasing basketball. In Tommy
TCKeefe, Georgetown has a re-
markable shot who is averaging
close to 20 points per game. and
guarding him closely won't stop
him. When OKeefe has a hot
hand, he throws them in from
anywhere.
Cavaliers Have AZ Record.
George Washington has played
two games in the Eastern High
gym, both in comparative privacy,
so tomorrow nights game against
the Cavaliers virtually will be the
Colonials rooters' first glimpse of
a Bill Reinhart-coached team in
seven years.
George Washington topped the
Quantico Marines, Washington
and Lee and North Carolina, and
lost to N. c. State, but the Colo
malls are improving daily under
the teaching of one of the coun-
try's top court coaches.
Virginia started with four
straight victories but had the mis-
fortune to play Duke and Navy
when their opponents held hot
hands, and now the Cavalier rec
ord is AZ. Virginia has Joe
Noertker, who made 442 points
last year, as its scoring ace.

Far from being the best fielding first base
man, Bonura unquestionably was the worst.
He was gentle giant with legs like fire plugs
and the only excuse for playing Bonura at all
was that occasionally he would hit the ball
long distance. Yet he sometimes led the fancy

Excellent Performances of 'CovoI|erio,
1PdQLiocci Given by YOUNG Singers

Lamb has one of those rare voices
that retain their quality and ap-
peal in the taxing music Of the
role of Santuzza. She is not much
of an actress, however. and. with
Ernest Lawrence as Turiddu not
being particularly endowed his
ironically. the big scenes between
the two depended for effect on
their voices. With more variety
and emotional intensity in their
action, these two singers could
be notable in the roles. Sura
Bardin as Lucia and Evelyn Tan
ner as Lola gave an excellent ac-
count both vocally and in charac-
ter delineation of the parts.
Possibly to Desire Defrere, artis-
tic director of the company, goes
the credit for the interesting stage
business that filled in the time
in Cavaliers" before the singers
appeared. The second act OF

By Alice Eversmon

Charles L. Wagner's travelling
opera company put on one of the
best performances of "Pagliacci"
and "Cavalleria Rusticana" in
Constitution Hall last night that
has been seen in that auditorium.
Presented locally by Patrick
Hayes, in cooperation with the
Friday Morning Music Club, it
was the first, and probably will
be the only. bit of grand opera
the city will have this season.
Young singers with fine voices
were heard in the leading roles
and the chorus was well trained,
both vocally and in the action.
Although Mr.. Wagner, who for
10 years has taken companies such
as this across the country, had
special scenery designed to fit any
hall he might encounter, it still
did not better the situation In the
local auditorium. "Cavalleria"
was mounted colorfully and the
fact that no great change In set
ting was allowed, caused the pre-
sentation first of 'Pagliacci" with
Its more easily removed scenery.
The illness of Philip La Tore,
scheduled for the part Of Tonic
in "Pagliacci," necessitated the
substitution of Frank Cappelli In
the role. This, too, may have had
something to do with the change
of order in which the operas were
announced considering that the
makeup for Tonic is more COM
plicated than that of Alto in Cav
alleria," which Mr.. Cappelli sang
later.
AS it turned out. it was all
for the better. Thomas Perkins,
listed for the role of Silvio, was
given the Prologue" to sing in
place of Mr.. Cappelli. He acquitted
himself excellently showing
fine sonorous voice that gave more
personality than usual to the
part of Slivio in which he ap-
peared during the opera. First
honors go to Marguerite McClel-
land as Media, for she did more
with the role than has been seen
in many years. A fresh. strong
voice and a lively manner was
directed by a superior dramatic
sense. She made the character
outstanding at all times by the
we'll -thought-out details OF her
acting. Rafael Lagares gave a
more traditional Interpretation OF
Canio, to which his vibrant voice
gave the proper pathos in the
manner of the best Italian por-
trayers OF the role.
Mr.. Cappelli's conception OF
Tonic was consistently followed
but he made him a most un-
pleasant person. It was interesting
and different but the impression
was frightening. : 1t was rather
startling, too, to hear Mr.. Cap
pelli's rich resonant voice singing
the music of a character that
was decidedly on the imbecilic
side as he envisioned him. il
turned out also that Mr.. Cappelll
in the role of Alto in "Cavalleria'
was quite good looking. Byron
Steele made an excellent Beppo
and the chorus contributed to
the effect by its knowledgeable
acting and signing.
Another set Of fine singers was
heard in "Cavalleria." Marguerite

Farm Federation Head
Dep|ores Perpetual
Price Guarantees
By the Associoted Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-Allan B.
Kline, president of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, said to-
day a Government guarantee OF
high and profitable agricultural
prices at all times lis the begin
ming of the end of personal lib
erty for farmers"
Farm Bureau policy with re-
gard to price support legislation
has been firmly based on belief in
individual initiative and rewards
based on work done, OF service
rendered." Mr.. Kline said. 1--WE
call it free enterprise. What we
mean, of course, is the American
way of regulated free enterprise,
as we know it.
Attacks Brannan Plan.
Mr.. Kline, in a speech at the
federation's 31st annual conven-
ton, renewed his attack on the
Brannan farm plan.
Secretary Brannan was not in
vited to address the convention
and his appeal for a fair and
constructive hearing of his pro-
poSal was rejected by Mr.. Kline
yesterday.
Indications were that the con-
vention later in the week will pro-
pose strong opposition to the
Brannan plan. which would lei
prices of perishable farm products
seek their natural level. The
Government would make up the
difference in direct payments tt
farmers, if those prices failed tc
give farmers a predetermined
fair return.
Approach to Problem.
Mr.. Kline asserted there is an
approach to farm problems being
promoted currently which lis best
described as full parity for farm
ers, cheap food for consumers
and it won't cost anybody much. u
High price guarantees will not
help the low-income farmer, he
said.
Price guarantees can do little
for farmers who need land, cap
ital. machinery and many other
things. They may get a higher
l. price than before, but. of course,
they have to be content with less
production. We must. of course,
have controls to make such guar
anteed prices effective. This
leaves them about the same in
come or, at the very best. only a
very little more. -

prosperity is high per capita pro.

omy, as well as in agriculture, .
