H ow� e,'er the little Rush had a big surprise for the Lions. Opening Night The opening nigbt found Xavier's master hard-wood men piling up 11 poinl8 before the visitors registered a single score_ This spurt felltu red the accurate sllooting of RllOdeiJ I\nd "Police " Bray who accounted for 13 and 12 points respectively. At the half Xavier led 25 to 1"2. Despite the strong efforh of P~'le and Smallwood, two .flashy guards of tho \'isitors, Gant and McQuitter held them well in hand Ilild t he bacon was on icc f rom start to finish; fiua.1 score 49�30.

'fhe third grouJl brought ollee agnin some soul-stirring moments. Shubert's "A\'e Maria " fell upon a tense, husllCd audience ns the artist ' poured out his soul iii deep� est tones'. This was followed by the c\'er-popula r "t"amborine Chi noise" by Kreisler, "Onl\'flrY", ar ranged by the \'iolini.st, and Cole ridge-Tnylor's <I African Dance " in D minor.
