No. 25 BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1923 Price 10 Cents BRITISH SPEAKER DISCUSSES LABOR PARTY PROGRAMME Mr. Mallon of London University Settlement Speaks to Social Economy Department HAVE DEFINITE LABOR PARTY “The British Labor party is a well-in- tentioned organization, but it by no means belongs to the stained-glass category,” said Mr. J. J. Mallon, Head Worker of Toynbee Hall, a London University settlement, speaking in Taylor Saturday morning to the social economy students. Mr. Mallon described the growth of the trade union movement upon which the Labor party was originally based. Until 1825, said Mr. Mallon, it was criminal to belong to a trade union, but in that year the Combination Laws against them were repealed and anyone could join. This in- determinate situation continued. until 1875, when by the Trade Unions Act, unions were allowed to strike, hold meetings, and accumulate funds. In the early twentieth century, however, the Taff Vale decision shattered this newly-won freedom. The workers on the Taff Vale railway had been on strike for some time when the directors of the company inaugurated a suit for dam- ages against The case was taken to several courts and finally decided by the supreme tribunal against the unions; the laborers were ordered to make a huge payment. This shattering blow turned the workers toward the continental Socialism, to which as yet they had paid no attention. They realized that the only hope of righting their wrongs lay in the formation of a the union. party to present their case in Parliament. Accordingly, in the early twentieth century, the Labor party was formed, at first ad- mitting only those who were members of trade unions. In 1906 forty of its candi- dates were elected members, and were in- strumental in pushing through the social which the Liberal party was During the war the Labor party attained new prominence due to the fact that the Government, in taking over indus- tries, had to have the help of the unions. In the elections at the end of the war there In the general backing. was a confusion of issues. waving of the Union Jack which marked the campaign, the Labor candidates were the only ones who did not promise more than they could fulfill, which as time went on revealed them to the people in a favor- able light.

The hour, after which a student may not be Philadelphia, was changed to 7.15, and several additions were made to the list of places where students alone in may dine with men unchaperoned, Reports from the head proctors on the new. proctoring showed varying opinions in the different ‘halls.

Rice ’23 Wins and D. O’Shea ’26 Loses in Only Finished Games The Varsity Tennis match against the Philadelphia Cricket Club was interrupted by rain last Saturday morning, and only two matches were finished, each team hav- ing won once. Bryn Mawr’s line-up was: H. Rice, 123; D. O’Shea, ’26; C. Remak, ’25; F. Martin, 23: R. McAneny, ’23.. The substitutes were: W. Dodd, ’26; E. Boross, .’25. H. Rice, ’23, defeated Miss Thayer of Philadelphia 6-0, 6-0. Miss Thayer, whose service was weak, yielded to the steady and well-placed shots of her opponent. There were several good rallies, with long, low shots. D. O’Shea, ’26, was defeated by Mrs. Hough, 6-3, 6-3. Mrs. Hough made good use of .an excellent fore-hand drive, and placed her shots carefully. The game was fast, with a good deal of backhand playing. In both sets, O’Shea, in spite of heavy odds, came up at the end. The other matches were not finished. C. Remak, ’25’ playing Miss Porter, lost the first set 4-6, and led, 4-2, in the second. Miss Porter’s distinctive feature was her exact placing, while C. Remak’s serve was swift and sure. R. McAneny, ’23, and Miss } Carpenter left the score at 5 all, in a game with long drives and a great many very good rallies. F. Martin, 23, lost the first set to Mrs. Cox, 3-6, but held her, 2-0, in the next, in a rather slower game with fre- quent net playing. The Science Club, according to E. Hale, president, has voted to extend associate membership to all undergraduates who are interested in science and would like to at- tend the teas. A slip will be passed around next fall for such students to sign. The dues will be $1.00, the same as those for regular membership. at rieartannanli aenacesmsnndacsecalaciasre cea necinnsiie taal LUCY GATES TO GIVE RECITAL ON NIGHT OF GARDEN PARTY Salzedo Trio Will Accompany “American Galli-Curci” Accompanied by the Salzedo Harp Trio, Lucy Gates, the “American Galli-Curci,” will give a recital on the night of Wednes- day, June 6, in the Cloisters. Miss Gates is a “coloratura soprano,” an American, who has scored many triumphs both on the American and European stage. She was very successful on the German operatic stage, but came home when the war broke out. Since then she has given recitals, and has also sung in grand opera, unexpectedly taking the place of Mme. Galli-Curci five times in a single season. The Salzedo Harp Trio is unique, the only one of its kind available. Tickets will be on sale later in Dean Madison’s office. DR. GRENFELL SPEAKS ON MOTIVE OF SELF-SACRIFICE Men Must Translate Message Into Terms of Human Life Speaking on the value of life, and the motive of Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, Superintendent of the Labrador Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen, led chapel last Sunday night. “Words do not count much,” said Dr. Grenfell, “Christ meant us to learn wisdom through experience.” But with all our ex- perience, if all that we put into life were only the material side of it, life would be a tragedy. There is a motive beyond the material side, the belief that there is a field of honor, that one must play the game. The work of any one person must neces- sarily be small, but, equally certainly, it is worth something. It has been my lot, went on Dr. Grenfell, to live in an age when more advance has self-sacrifice, been made in medicine. and surgery than in any other. Yet our lives are of far ereater value if we consider them, not from a surgical point of view, but think of our- selves as “peerless knights of God,” a belief based, not on knowledge, but on faith. Many women have been outstanding in respect, according to Dr. Grenfell, women who set the pace for their age, and who will be long remembered, women like “dith Cavell, or Florence Nightingale, whose conviction enabled them to do great things. Opportunities come to each of us, not only to set broken backs, or in some way to mend life, but to make new life. Labrador offers such opportunities. As one undergraduate who had been there said, “Life here seems to show you a challenge.” This same man, explained Dr. Grenfell, went back to looking around for something to do for some one else, “taught six dagoes arithmetic” in his “And yet,” said Dr. Grenfell, this his college, and, spare time. i“he probably got more out of that than from his present success aS a surgeon. One victory of self-sacrifice means more to us than all the works of fluent artists.” Dr. Grenfell declared that the thing, which he looks back upon with the most satis- faction, was the saving of a drowning boy, rather than any honors which he gained as a young man. That this feeling of ists strongly on the Labrador coast, Dr. Grenfell showed by a story of a man who did not have enough money to feed his children the milk they needed, and yet was sheltering a sick neighbor, merely because he was a neighbor. “These people in Labrador don’t owe me anything,” Dr. Grenfell concluded, “I owe them a debt, as does everyone who does anything for some one else.” self-sacrifice ex- GLEE CLUB PERFORMANCE RECEIVES HIGH PRAISE M. Minott Impersonates Patience With Charm; Bunthorne’s Humor is Diverting DICTION IS COMMENDABLE ——— Specially contributed by Mr. Surette. On Friday and Saturday evenings, May 11 and 12, in the Gymnasium, Glee Club gave performances of Gilbert and Sulli- van’s delightful Opera “Patience.” The performances were under the direc- tion of Professor Horace Alwyne of the Music Department. There was a large and enthusiastic audience at each performance and encores were frequent. No profes- sional coach was employed this year but there was no evident lack of good stage management, due to Miss Constant, and of good ensemble, doubtless due to Mr. Al- wyne’s patience and skill. - In fact, the dramatic and the details of action were better than in the performances last year of the “Gondoliers.” And it is movement certainly an advantage to hear these pro- ductions done as far as may be by the students themselves. With Miss Edda Bennett, accompanist to the Choir and Glee Club, at the piano the only outside assistance came from players from the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. The solo voices were rather light for such a large hall but the singers made up for this, to a considerable extent, by the excellence of their diction, in which they were far in advance of the average singer on the stage, or off. A performance of any Gilbert and Sullivan Opera without good diction would be an abject failure, for Gilbert’s librettos are priceless. Among the solo voices Miss Minott’s stood out easily as the best, and she has improved in her singing since last year. She was a delightful Patience in acting, singing, and appearance. One of the best numbers was the duet, “He was a little boy,” by Patience and Lady Angela, whose voice was excellent. Bunthorne’s and particularly his manner of sitting down, of entwining himself around himself, and fiercely start- ing to read his book of poems (which we suspect of containing one by Vachel Lind- say), a vivid key for his part in the play. He wore ‘a perfectly rehearsed wig—or was it his own? The complacent Archibald carried with perfect ease the heavy weight of love cast upon his manly shoulders, but (shall we say it?) he looked best in tweeds. — His duet with Patience, ‘“Prithee, Pretty Maiden,” was one of the successes of the evening. Lady Jane, lacking “too much of me,” and loaded, so to speak, with a cello in- stead of a double bass, realized much of the delicious comedy of her part. while the character depends to a consider- able extent on the size of Jane and of her fiddle, her eagerness to flop into whatever arms were ready—individual flopping being really more effective and interesting than collective flopping—as with the twenty—was delightfully spontaneous, “Why is it,” someone near! me asked, “that these students are all so nearly of an age? They seem to range from 23 to entrance, For, 26. Isn’t 26 rather old for a college student ?” Of the three officers of the Dragoon Guards, and of the Guards themselves, one can only say that their first appearance was the sensation of the evening. Graded with miraculous care, from very high to more or less low, booted, spurred and now and CONTINUED ON PAGE 3 eT REN EN I ar ERLE ee rs a x Se Re LS ee a EE ae cetlggega ilies : lahat dings ter I Ss ONTENIENTE ROAR sine i ¥ 2 THE COLLEGE NEWS The College News [Founded in 1914,] Published weekly during the college year in the interest of Bryn Mawr College Managing Editor.......

ADVANTAGES OF THE RUNNING TRACK You have may reserved seats if you will, but give us the gallery. From there one may see the stage without having to peer around heads, square or round, but always massive. It is in the balcony only that one has the fun of crawling around the corners of the running track to find a better place. For in the gallery there are always better places to be had. But the exquisite joy of the balcony is to hang over the railing and watch all those who come. To see our professors, arrayed in formal attire, enter shyly or boldly as is their wont; that is Nor will we refrain from the privileges of see- a pleasure we will not deny ourselves. ing “who brings what.” Information known in one corner of the gallery spreads to all corners. It is the source of all gossip, of the singing. It is the Argus of a thousand eyes. Give us the balcony; we shall sit there, like Kipling’s Cat for always and always and always. CAVE! Ten varieties of ferns have been planted with great labor in the hollow, where they are now supposedly growing as happily as in their natural habitats. They have been planted so that small groups studying sci- ence during the Summer School may have their specimens ready at hand. All flower gatherers and picnicers are earnestly re- quested not to pick them, mistaking them for ferns which have appeared in the due course of nature. EARLIER TO RISE Among the recommended changes in the curriculum, an increase in the number of classes between eight and nine o’clock has met with serious consideration. If the idea is accepted, a good many students will be unable to attend week-day chapel. Even at present, the audience confronting the vocational speakers, whom the College pro- vides, is insultingly small. A noticeable decrease in its ranks would make it im- possible to ask any outsider to speak in morning chapel. To prevent so unfortu- nate a circumstance, we suggest that eight o’clock classes be begun at eight o’clock promptly instead of ten minutes past, and be dismissed at 8.45, thus enabling students to attend chapel. NOTICE Anyone wishing to suggest ministers to speak in chapel next year are asked to communicate with E. Hale, ’24, as. soon as possible, as the ministers are invited during summer vacation. All Library books bought for regular departments are left on the New Book Room shelves for two weeks. The long treatises which frequently appear on the shelves belong to this class and are not bought by the New Book Room funds. ORDER OF BACCALAUREATE AND COMMENCEMENT ANNOUNCED CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 seat the Seniors for the exercises (Senior marshals). 5. Fellows and fellows-by-courtesy are not called to the procession by name, but fall into line in accordance with directions previously given by the president of the Graduate Club. 6. The procession moves out promptly upon the command of the head marshal, on signal from the chairman, conveyed through his personal marshal. 7. The route of the procession, which is subject to variations, is as follows: Eastward to Taylor Hall; left turn on walk, to Senior row (condition of ground per- mitting; otherwise, down right of Senior row); right turn opposite Gymnasium door; halt when Gymnasium steps are reached. 8. The head marshal faces about. The elements which formed outside the Library divide and stand, facing inward, on each side of the walk. The head marshal pro- ceeds back between the lines; meets those elements of the procession which formed inside the library headed by the two mar- shals and the choir; and conducts this sec- tion into the building. Led by the two Senior marshals the two lines of Seniors, alumnae, and others follow in inverted order behind the fellows and into the building. 9. All seating is strictly in accordance with plans devised by the chairman. Sen- iors need be in no special order. Under- graduates will be seated as far as possible in the body of the building, not in the galleries. 10. The order of the Baccalaureate serv- ice is as follows: Processional Hymn, led by the Choir. Prayer, the congregation standing. Anthem by the Choir. Responsive Reading of Psalm. Reading from the Scriptures, the congre- gation seated. Prayer. Hymn. Sermon. Announcement by the head marshal. Hymn, Benediction, the congregation standing. The congregation’ remains seated until the academic procession has left the building. 11. The procession leaves in the order in which it arrives: Two marshals; the president and the clergyman; directors; faculty; staff, etc. Students not seated on the platform do not march out. OrDER OF COMMENCEMENT GIVEN 12. The conferring of degrees (“Com- mencement”) takes place on Thursday, June 7, 1923, at 11 A. M., in the Gymnasium. 13. Rehearsals for Commencement. are held on Monday, June 3, at 830 A. M. sharp, and, if necessary, on Tuesday, June 4, at 830 A. M., at the Library steps. Rehearsals begin promptly, and at the Monday rehearsal seats are assigned to Seniors. 14. At Commencement, Seniors are seated in rows of six and six on each side and forward of the central aisle of the Gymnasium, and this space is ribboned off. Front seats are filled first. No deviation from this seating as assigned can be made, and Senior marshals for Commencement are responsible for the correct seating of the class. 15. Candidates for the M.A. sit alpha- betically in rows of seats behind the en- trance aisle, first on the left of the central aisle, then on the right, beginning from the aisle. 16. Former members of the Senior class sit behind the Seniors in front of the en- trance aisle, as space permits. 17. Marshals sit directly in front of the platform; diploma marshals, on the plat- form. 18. The President, directors, guests of the college, faculty, staff, fellows, candi- dates for the doctorate, and the speaker occupy the platform. 19. Undergraduates sit in the galleries. 20. The section of the procession form- ing not later than 10.40 A. M., June 2, out- side the Library is under the direction of the head marshal for Commencement, 21. The following elements form out- side the Library: Head Marshal; Group A, as follows: Two marshals; Freshmen; Sophomores; Juniors; two marshals; grad- uate students; alumnae. Group B as fol- lows: Two marshals (Senior marshals) ; former members of the Senior Class; Sen- iors who graduate; candidates for the M.A.; candidates for the Ph.D. who are not fellows. The head marshal forms the two groups with the candidates for the Ph.D., as indicated, near the Library steps and the head of the procession, with two marshals, near Taylor Hall. 22. The following elements of the pro- cession form inside the Library; Two mar- shals; fellows, fellows-by-courtesy, and fel- lows elect, as previously arranged (see section 5, above) ; two marshals; one mem- ber of the Faculty Committee on Com- mencement (Doctor Bissell); the staff, then the teaching staff, in the reverse order of academic seniority; one member of the Faculty Committee on Commencement (Doctor David) ; the faculty, in the reverse order of seniority; guests of the college; directors; diploma marshals; members of the faculty presenting candidates for the A.B., M.A. and Ph.D.; chairman; the president and the speaker; three marshals 23. For the route and progress of the procession, see section 7, above. 24. Group A (see section 21, above) stops at the Gymnasium steps, divides, per- mits the rest of the line to pass between its files, and then enters the building in in- verted order. Group B is then led inside by the head marshal and the two Senior marshals, who preced the former members of the Senior class and see that they take the seats reserved for them. 25. The Senior marshals then precede the Seniors down the center aisle and pause just ahead of the foremost row of seats reserved for the class. The line di- vides to left and right, numbers 12 and 1 going to the extreme end seats on their respective sides of the reserved and _ rib- boned sections. 26. The Bryn Mawr academic proces- sion is one of the most interesting in America. Hoods lined with yellow crossed by a white chevron indicate Bryn Mawr degrees. Degrees from other American colleges and universities are also indicated by the linings of the hoods: In the case of Harvard, crimson; of Princeton, orange and black; of Johns Hopkins, old gold and black, etc. Degrees conferred by continen- tal universities are indicated by hoods lined with the color of the faculty in which the degree is taken (blue for Philosophy, green for Medicine, purple for Laws, scarlet for Theology), crossed by a chevron containing colors of the country in which the degree is taken. English degrees are variously indicated. The degree of Doctor of Science of the University of London is shown by a crimson gown and a crimson and yellow hood. 27. Undergraduates wear a_ modified form of the Oxford Scholar’s gown, of black serge. The Bachelor’s gown has a long pointed sleeve, and the hood is trimmed with fur. The Master’s gown has a long closed sleeve, slit toward the top of the arm, while the Master’s hood is trimmed with white velvet and is a foot longer than the Bachelor’s. The Doctor’s gown is the only gown which may be made of silk. It has bands of velvet down the front and a round open sleeve with three bars of velvet, either black or of the color of the faculty conferring the degree. The Doctor’s hood is made with a panel. The color of the faculty of Philosophy is blue, and most hoods of Doctors of Philosophy are edged with blue. Harvard degrees are indicated on each band of the gown, in- stead of the usual colored facing of the hood. Fellows of Bryn Mawr College wear Bachelor’s gowns and yellow and white hoods.

BRITISH SPEAKER DISCUSSES LABOR PARTY PROGRAM CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 At this time, when conditions in England and on the continent were very discourag- ing, the Labor party appeared with a new character and a new and appealing pro- gram. It shook off its old exclusiveness and declared itself a party of all workers, making a broad distinction between workers and idlers. The result of this widening of the constitution was that soldiers, doc- tors, professors, and even nobility joined. The program of this new party is, briefly, according to Mr. Mallon, international. They contend that there is no difference between labor parties of separate nationali- ties, a policy which is Utopian but a step in the right direction. They are against exploitation of such races as the African, seeing that England’s policy of economic exclusiveness in Africa will breed trouble. The party would put the non-adult races under the protection of an international body such as the League of Nations. At present, the Labor party stands for the cancellation of the Allied debts to England, realizing that to demand payment will be to create great bitterness and economic disaster. Their policy in regard to Russia is to advocate a de jure as well as a de facto recognition of that country. The party assumes a scientific attitude toward Socialism, proposing experiments, the results of which may decide future policy. At present, they would like to have the coal mines placed under government control, but they are not dogmatic as to how this shall be done. Another proposal of theirs is the capital levy, by which all people with property over $25,000 would be assessed a definite amount, the scale rising gradually until a man with $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 would be assessed one-half of it. The money thus realized, about $15,000,000,000, would be used to pay off the national debt of some $40,000,000,000, thus lowering the crushing income taxes which are necessary to pay the interest. The most important of all the Labor programs is that dealing with education, The party heartily supports the Fisher Act for Con- tinuation Schoolsby which children from fourteen to sixteen years of age are re- quired to spend at least eight hours a week in school. In answer to a question, Mr. Mallon said that the Labor party was not yet ready to form a cabinet; that it must serve a politi- cal apprenticeship of a few years more before undertaking to create a government.

Macy ’26 Emulates Babe Ruth Scoring Two Home Runs Relentlessly sweeping on, batting where the Odds invariably struck out, the Evens won a decisive victory, 30-14, in a spirited baseball game last Saturday morning at 9.15 o'clock. A female Babe Ruth, in the person of G. Macy, '26, helped her team on with two home runs, hitting the ball, as is usual with Babe’s homers, into the bushes, from which the lady-like movements of G. Pick- rell, °25, gradually rescued it. Miss Macy, however, was not so Strong as catcher. In fact, whoever played catcher, and the per- sonnel was frequently changed, seemed to have a predilection for watching the ball roll between her legs. Fortunately the hockey goal was behind, so that the catcher did not have far to go. The pitching might be described as grace- ful rather than speedy. D. Lee, ’25, pitch- ing for the Odds, sent a more or less straight ball which ambled toward the bat, but in the third inning there was a sudden change. V. Corse, ’23, took the pitcher’s box and proceeded to send the most un- dulating curves possible. A sublime disregard of the umpire’s de- cisions characterized the whole game and provided a convenient topic of conversation for the players while on the field. After five strenuous innings, a truce was declared. The line-up cannot be accurately given, as each player seemed extremely versatile, starring equally in any position. The individuals, however, who did most of the playing, helped on by frequent adjura- tions from the sidelines, were: Evens: M. Buchanan, ’24; M. Hamill, 26; M. Angell, ’24; G. Macy, ’26; B. Howe, '24; E. Nichols, ’26; E. Pearson, ’24; K. Tomkins, ’26; M. Talcott, ’26, Odds: E. Taylor, ’21; R. Marshall, ’23; K. Fowler, ’25; A. Smith, ’23; D. Lee, 29; V. Corse, ’23; H. Potts, 29; G.: Pick- rell, 25; N. Waterbury, ’25. FIFTH TEAM 1924 vs. 1926 Owing more to the defects of the Fresh- men than to their own good playing, the Junior fifth won the deciding match of the preliminaries 11-8 on Monday after- noon, after losing last Thursday, 13-19. G. Anderson and A. Bingeman, ’24, worked well with J. Bensburg, the center, who play the most vigorous game of the Juniors. 1926 shot very ‘poorly, wasting many opportunities, but their passing was both quick and intelligent. R. Turner, ’26, played a speedy game as forward, and M. Waller, ’26, was an effective and pugnacious guard. Line-up: 1924: G. Anderson*, A. Bingeman***, J. Bensburg*, O. Fountain, K. Van Bibber. Goals from free shots: G. Anderson*. 1926: A. Long, R. Turner**, E. Twed- dell*, H. Clemons, M. Waller. Goals from free shots: A. Long*, E. Tweddell*. 1923 vs. 1925 Sophomore fifth team defeated the Seniors by the narrow margin of 12-11 in the second match game, played last Satur- day. The first game of the series was won by the Seniors. Both sides showed good passing, but were weak on shots for the goal. W. Dunn, ’25, stationed under the basket, was able to score several goals through the co-opera- tion of A. Pantzer, ’25. The shots of A. Fraser, ’23, were energetic, but often mis- directed. Line-up: 1923: M. Schwartz*, A. Fraser***, H. Hoyt, N. FitzGerald*, F. Seligman. Foul goals: H. Hoyt*. 1925: E. Lomas**, H. Hoyt*, W. Dunn #0 ~A Pantzer*, B. Comer, G. Pickerel. Foul goals: E. Lomas*, A. Pantzer*, JUNIORS AGAIN DEFEATED BY FRESHMAN FIRST Dark Blue’s Players Notable for Indi- vidual Ability and Steady Game The Junior came down from Denbigh after the first team game last Thursday which resulted in a Freshman victory. As in the first game of the finals, the Freshmen played by far the more steadily ; but won rather because of the extraordi- nary wildness of their opponents than be- cause of any marked steadiness on_ their Own part; neither team attained to any very pretty playing. The Freshmen were less individual than on Monday, W. Dodd and S. McAdoo working well together ; but as a whole they lacked team feeling. The guards were very wild, and altogether the five players gave an exhibition of ex- ceedingly good ability in a rather bad muddle. Until the latter part of the second half, the Juniors seemed utterly uncontrolled; and then it was too late for improvement to save the game. K. Elston constituted a large part of this improvement, keeping free and shooting carefully. Line-up: 1924—K. Elston***, E. Howe**, Buchanan**, M. Russel, S. Leewitz. 1926—W. Dodd****, S. Walker*, S. Mc- Adoo***, M. Talcott, G. Leewitz. banner M. SIXTH TEAMS 1923 vs. 1925 hoc After a 21-12 defeat last Tuesday, 1923 again lost to 1925 by the score of 18-5, on Friday. The Green forwards were prevented from shooting many goals by the efforts of 1925’s vigilant guards. M. M. Dunn at center was the backbone of the Sophomore team. | The line-up: 1923: S. McDaniel*, B. Kilroy, N.. Fitz- gerald*, P. Von Hofsten, I. Gates. 1925: M. Blumenstock****, H. Henshaw, M. M. Dunn*****, C. Cummings, H. Potts. 1923 vs. 1926 Senior third defeated the Freshmen, 32-15, last Monday, in a game characterized by clean, snappy playing in the first match of the finals. Short, accurate passing, and well placed shots scored the Green a large number of goals at the opening of the game. The Freshman forwards passed well, showing excellent team-work. F. Matteson and K. Strauss starred for the Seniors, making five goals near the end of the game, which gave them a safe lead over their opponents. Line-up: 1923: M. Matteson****, K. Strauss***, V. Brokaw, A. Smith, R. McAneny*****, Goals from free shots: Two. 1926: A. Johnston, M. Homer, M. Tat- nall, L. Laidlow**, K. Tomkins********, Substitute: K. Morse for A. Johnson in the second half. Goals from free shots: Four. SEVENTH TEAM 1923 vs. 1925 The Sophomore seventh easily triumphed over the Seniors with a score of 19-4, win- ning the preliminaries in the second game of the series played last Thursday. The Reds played well, far surpassing their opponents, who fumbled the ball and were forced to play a defensive game. M. M. Dunn, ’25, clear-headed and quick, was the most outstanding player of her side. E. Mathews, ’23, shot the Seniors most dra- matic goal. Line-up: 1923: I. Gates*, E. Mathews*, B. Kil- roy, K. Goldsmith, I. Lemon. 1925: M. Shumway**, H. Henshaw***, M. Dunn****, T. Fugita, M. Gardner. H.

Although 1923 was slightly behind in the first half, they improved greatly in the second when their forwards, quick and evasive, with A. Howell, center, covering the entire field, scored frequently. As a whole 1925’s co-operation was poor, N. Waterbury and J. Gregory, as forwards, being the only two who showed any signs of teamwork. 1923: I. Beaudrias**, K. Strauss***#** A. Howell*****, A.

During the first half, the passing of both teams was inaccurate, and the players were rough. L. Laidlow, ’26, and E, Musselman, ’26, showed good teamwork and kept free from their guards. The Juniors were de- cidedly slower than the Freshmen, with the exception of K. Gallway, ’24, who continu- ally evaded her guard. Both the passing and the shooting im- proved in the second half. Laidlow, after a quick dribble, made a spectacular goal from the side of the field. Musselman starred, scoring half of Dark Blue’s points. 1924: L. Ford****, K. Gallway*****, E, Molitor****, E. Pearson, V. Miller. 1926: L. Laidlow******, E, Musselman *eeeKKEAE, A Johnston, M. Homer, E. Tat- FOURTH TEAM 1924 vs. 1926 Overwhelming the Junior by quick pass- ing and good team work, 1926 won for a second time in the preliminaries last Fri- day, with a score of 24-13, The Freshmen forwards were a good combination of speed and steadiness, K. Tompkins often bringing the ball down the field, while the spectacular dribbles and ac- curate aim of G. Macy netted six baskets. D. Gardner, ’24, scored for the Juniors, and combined well with the rest of her team. 1924—M. Smith**, D. Gardner ****, L. Coffin, E. Ives, M. Minott. Goals from free shots—L. Coffin*, Substitutes—K. Van Bibber for E. Ives. 1926—G. Macy******, K. Tompkins**, F. Waite**, B. Sindall, E. Harris. Goals from free shots—K. Tompkins****. SEVENTH TEAM 1924 vs. 1926 Playing an intelligent and well-organized game, the Freshman seventh defeated 1924, 30-14, in the third preliminary match on Monday, after one defeat. They rallied, winning the second game, 21-14. The Freshman passing was very good, especially that of M. Wylie, center, and the forwards were always ready to receive the ball, and generally scored. Though the Juniors’ team work improved in the second half, they were not fast enough to be suc- cessful. F. Begg, ’24, was their chief scorer, and D. Litchfield was fast, at center. 1924: F. Begg***** K. Brauns, D. Litch- field*, E .Crowell, M. Woodworth*. Substitutes: K. Brauns for D. Litchfield, H. Walker for K. Brauns. 1926: L. Adams*****, M. Arnold****, M. Wylie*****, M. Hamill, M. Weaver. Goals from free shots: L. Adams. SOPHOMORES BEAT SENIORS ; THREE GAME STRUGGLE Cool-headed, Accurate Passing and Good Guarding Mark Both Teams Despite very pretty passing on the part of the Seniors, 1925 defeated them on first team last Monday with a score of 31-18, and entered the finals that evening, The Sophomores were in the lead throughout, and worked coolly and ac- curately against the quick, sure passes of their opponents. L. Voorhees played a beautiful game as center, scoring six bas- kets, each one more extraordinary than the last. A. Clement, for the Seniors, played alertly, and quite crippled C. Remak, whom she scarcely ever left unguarded. The passing of the Seniors was their ruin as well as their salvation; they passed too much, and wasted time under the basket sending the ball from player to player. If their shooting, however, had been up to the rest of their game, the score might have told an entirely different story. 1925’s guards did exceptionally pretty work, and in the second half they were, with Voorhees, the backbone of the team. C. Remak did a great deal of the scoring, and she and L. Voorhees worked well together. F. Martin, ’23, and
