Powder Bowl Practice
Kapp - a" Kappa Gamma and the Aye Sees of Pi
Beta . . Phi are receiving pep talks and instruc
tions " from their coaches as the day of the
PoWder Bowl game nears. In the first row for
the KKGs are (kneeling) Thayer Potter and
Frances Black; standing from left to right are

By NANCY GRAY
Bermuda shorts, knee socks,
and Kappa Kappa Gamma jerseys
will distinguish the KKG's from
the blue jeans and blue jersey
wearing Aye Sees of .Pi Beta Phi
when they battle it out in the
Powder Bowl Saturday.
Proceeds from the touch foot
ball game, which will begin at
10:30 a.m. on Beaver Field, will
go to the Campus Chest. Admis
sion charge is 25 cents.
Passing and blocking were the
first techniques demonstrated by
coaches of the two teams.
Norman Rubash, seventh se
mester petroleum and natural gas
engineering major, said he was
surprised and pleased - at how
quickly the Pi, Phi's caught on to
the game. With their speed, spirit,
and rubbing liniment, they will
take the game according to Ru
bash and David Lucas, seventh
semester commerce major.
Penn Game Rival
Joseph Garrity, seventh semes
ter recreation major, and Thayer
Potter, fifth semester business
administration major, are just as
enthusiastic for a Kappa win.
Some of the women were exposed
to a football for the first time
three weeks ago, but they have
learned quickly since they first
found out what the pigskin feels
like, the two mentors' agree.
Potter commented that practice
so far has been "more interesting
than the Penn Game." Whether or
not he meant bet t e r playing
wasn't made clear at the time.
Chalk talks and general expla
nations and discussions of the
game were preliminaries to actual
field work. "Patience is a virtue"
that the coaches have in large
quantities, report the team mem
bers, as plays had to be diagram
med two and three times.
Block With Shoulders
Only one of the prospective
grid d e r s was injured badly
enough to keep her from enter
ing the game Saturday. She twist
ed a leg muscle. Other casualties
consisted of broken fingernails,
bumped noses, and a sprained toe.
After the first week of practice,
muscles began to loosen, the wom
en learned to block with shoulders
instead of heads, illusions of femi
ninity were forgotten and a lot
of powder should fly at the Pow
der Bowl on Saturday.

Our suspicions were confirmed
during the first intermission when
the lights 'came up and we dis
covered the story of the ballet
• printed in our souvenir programs.
Borrowing a house program from
a nearby observer, we identified
the principals on the stage.
Unfortunately, Margot Fonteyn
and Michael Somes danced the
previous performance and did not
appear. Dancing on ,one's toes for
three hours is .1 strenuous task
and Miss Fonteyn alternates roles
with five other prima ballerinas.
Nadia Nerina quashed all our dis
appointments when she swooped
out of the wings as Princess
Odette, the swan maiden, who
has been bewitched by an evil
enchanter. During the day she
glides about the sky as a white
swan, but at night in the moon
light of the glade she again be
comes human.
Naturally Alexis Rassine, the
deft prince, cannot escape her fa
tal beauty and falls in loVe with
her. She tells him, obviously by
mental telepathy, that the evil
spell can be broken only if some
one falls in love with her who
has never broken his troth.
Perhaps most commendable is
the second act with its haunting
music, halucinatory lighting ef
fects, solo dances and intricate
precision. Especially fascinating
are the four dancers who move
about as a single unit. When one
head is moved or leg extended,
the other three, like graceful
automatons controlled by the
same lever, follow in split-second
timing.
The Queen Mother fouls up
the works by trying to palm
her son off on six lovely demoi
selles at a ball at the castle.
Prince Siefried spurns them but
falls in love with Odile, the
Swan princess in human dis
guise, who enters with the ma
gician. Siefried asks Odile to
marry him and, in breaking his
troth, abandons Odette to the
power of the enchanter. - ' •
In the ballroom scene Miss Ne
rina
demonstrates-her agility and
high quality as a-dancer by exe
cuting 32 difficult fouettes en
place. Mr. Rassine glides about
the stage completing perfect body
twists in midair with all the fin-.
esse of a wild hart scaling fallen
trees in a forest.
At this point we were brought
back to reality by a grade school

three weeks. KKGs are practicing behind

front of Forestry. The Powder Bowl game will
"legin at 10:30 a.m. Saturday on Beaver Field.
Foreign Students Get
Special Invitations

tion to all foreign students and
their wives to attend World Corn

teacher's brood of students whose
varying degrees of kidney dis
orders kept them making frequent
trips in and out of the aisle where
we sat. But back to the story.
In the final act Siefried real
izes his mistake and rushes out
to the glade to repair his breech
to Odette. Together they drown
themselves in the lake to escape
the powers of the magician. In
the dramatic apotheosis they
voyage together across the gol
den lake in a swan-shaped gon
dola to a world of eternal happi
ness.
Three hours after the opening
curtain a syi_apathetic and spell
bound audience woke up and real
ized it was time to go home. The
enchantment ended with the aud
ience's applause and the graceful
swans fluttering about the stage
again became tired and hungry
ballerinas.
