Curran Hughey, of 5_ Columbia, was elected alternate captain, ig Both Blount and Hughey are capable n, men for the honors to which they have i\ been elected; they are popular and well n liked and should make Carolina a pair of :n good grid leaders for 1931.

The intrigue is carried further when the couple go to the opera and a very ro- ' mantic scene is played by Miss Elizabeth Belser and Mr. Carl F. DufTner. { "Mama," played with variety and verve | by Mrs. William D.

Mama's tearful rejoinder is, ' "Yes, Bcbi, I am just crazy about the ^ opera." Then tfie guardsman continues his * attentions to the lady. The plot is not * divulged until the last act.
