In this paper it is shown that given a non-degenerate elliptic quadric in the projective space PG(2n -1, q), q odd, then there does not exist a spread of PG(2n -1, q) such that each element of the spread meets the quadric in a maximal totally singular subspace. An immediate consequence is that the c
