; ____A small, bewildered. Irishman_ with his |

~ bit of green tied round his stove pipe hat

was the mascot of thé Irish, leading them
to an 8-0 defeat of Varsity, Saturday
morning, November 7, in a fast, if one-
sided game. i

Playing more in the old formation with
the fullbacks seldom éncroaching beyond
the center line, ‘the good stick work, hard
hitting, swift running, and superior en-
durance of the Irish téam soon succeeded

-in-wresting a decisive victory. from Var-

sity, despite tHe valiant -efforts of the
backs. Strongest on the defensive, the
Varsity. forwards were so closely and
forcefully guarded that their offensive was |
considerably weaker than their guarding
play. The Irish were older and had ob-

_ viously had mote experience. In contrast

to their hard decisive hitting on every pass,
the Varsity backs seemed .to play more
of a dribbling game, culminating in short-
er passes than the long half-the-field-ahead
shots of the Irish.

. Bryn Mawr got the ball in the first
quick, tense bully of the game, and W.
Dodd, ’26, with beautiful stickwork and
speed, flew down«the wing only to be
stopped by the whole weight of the oppos-
ing Irish back in a strong lunge. For the
first fifteen minutes Varsity held the
«Iskanders to no score, but they soon broke
_through and, with swift, hard passes, rush-
ed the ball to goal several times. The
Brown backs played far ahead of thém-
selves, but were powefless against the
Irish rush; W. Dodd’s continued excel-
lence was uncuccessful ih pushing | a goal
‘through.

Starting the second half with renewed
vigor, Varsity kept the Irish from scor-
ing, until the last 15 minutes. B. Loines,
28, was the heto of the half in two spec-
tacular runs from centre field, completely
eluding backs and halves, but. she was
stopped at the goal, The Irish centre
half, playing all over the field, was mar-

velous in her speed and dexterity, and}

‘intercepted mahy passes from D. Lee,
‘25, to R. Wills, ’29.

‘In a beautiful run and dribble Miss Dil-
worth, right wing, tore down. the field and

»". shot a quick goal. Using their heads

quickly, the Irish backs would pass
straight across the field to an unguarded
forward on the opposite side. In the last}
. 40 minutes two more goals were Guaten
"and the day ended 8-0.

LABOUR MOVEMENT PERFECTS
MECHANISM OF DEMOCRACY

Workmen to be Citizens in Industry,
Says Rennie Smith, Labor M. P.

“Small as members go, the English labor
movement has momentous consequences,”
said Rennie Smith, a member of Parliament
for the Labor party, a. delegate of the In-
ternational Printer’s Union, and a member of
the Workman’s . Educational Association

“Like so many other institutions and
aspects of British life, the Labor movement
is fundamentally old.. But in its relations
with the modern industrial situation, its
development is the matter of only a century.

“It has endeavored first of all to work out
the idea of political democracy. The Parlia-
ment. of today is much’ more representative
than that of a century ago. Thirty years
ago, Baldwin, sking Parliament what to
do with the nation’s mines, would have
heard only from directors and royalty
swners Today he would learn not only
their point of view, but that of the men who
have worked since childhood in the mines.
If the business of Parliament ~is to gather
up the mind of the nation in its sericus pur-
poses, the group of today is far superior to
30 years ago. It was formerly a place of
rhetoric, and is now a place of debate. Under
Toryism and Liberalism it is impossible to
get these vast changes and conflicting points
of view. Future historians will emphasize
the labor movement as improving the ma-
chinery of political democracy.

“We have become increasingly conscious
that a formal conception of freedom: is en-

srenhaeae snihity of the last 70 years,” said
M. Charles Cestre, of the Soibonne, in, the
irst of his lectures on Edwin Arlington
Robinson, given in Taylor Hall last Tuesday,
afternoon. The-new school extols American
energy and buoyancy, but there is a distrust
of old-fashioned reserve and prudence, and
they brand as un-American the standard
forms and conventions.

“Edwin Arlington Robinson belongs here
in the line of the great masters of, English
literature. One wonders if his universality
debars him from native appreciation.

“He has peculiarities which trouble his
readers. when he treats situations not his
own—the passionate utterance is not his In
the margin outside passion .his lot finds its
place. With a keen eye and a fine sympathy,
he can regard the soul in repose after the
tremor of a crisis. He walks in the steps of
the great dramatists, discovering, with per-
fect understanding of joy and sorrow, the
meaning of human felations, and of human
hopes and failures. ‘

“He found his supreme subject in Merlin.
His meditations on the forcés battling in the
human heart stood him in good stead here,
and he created a Merlin of his own. a
masterpiece unique in American poetry.
Pre-eminently a poet of human strength of «
will, and of human help!essness to avoid
calamity, he has bravely espoused the mod-
ern spirit—the spirit of observation —and
scientific curiosity.

“His early poems are distinctly Christian.
“Calvary” is a perfect sonnet, but also a
hymn where the poet’s sombre descant on
the ways of the world have the tone of the
prophetic book, or the hopeful: severity of
the Pilgrim fathers. The metaphysics of his
later poems ‘is not orthodox, but still true to
the Christian spirit. The mystery of in
tellectual growth, and the sobering of spirit-
ual experience, replaces mysticism in him.

“In Lancelot he shows color and pathos,
and passion with a glamour of romance.

“Mastery of form appears in full in him,
and the magnetic faculty of throwing con-
crete vision over things of the mind, The
common words of the language, marshalle:!
with inborn ease, assume poetical utterance’
without losing their homely familiarity.

“Humor is an essential component of his
style. In the full length: portraits of
Shakespeare and Ben Jonson, there is struck.
a quiet note of mirth that enhances the uni-
versal humanity of. both.

“From the first he has endeavored to ex-
‘press man. He eschewed none of the things
that have ever touched the human heart-
love, death, aspirations to the ideal, thwarted
ambition, stringency of wordly rivalry. His
‘htmor breeds thoughful assent or pennant
sympathy.

“He is not always a ‘highbrow’ in h's
choice of subjects. Often they are the sui-
