W. Kelsey, fo Hav- erford College. Dr. Bohlen spoke on “What the Repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment Will Mean,” “The question,” said Dr. Bohten, “is what provision is to be made for the dry States.” It has been abso- lutely_demonstrated._that.._Congress can protect any State against the violation of State rules, a provision of the Constitution which has been made explicit by the Blaine Resolu- tion. During the Republican cam- paign, much was made of the state- ment that the dry States would be inundated by liquor from wet States, but Mr. Bohlen thinks that these States will be drier than ever, be- cause the local police will have a di- rect responsibility for the enforce- ment of their prohibition laws, “What we have quarreled with is that Atlantic seaboard habits should be controlled by other States. Each group of citizens, the smaller the bet- ter, should determine its own habits. The larger the unit for which any sumptuary law is enacted, the less ef- fective is it likely to be.” The pro- tection of dry States after the Repeal is important, but more important is the control of the liquor traffic in the States that decide for Repeal. _ “We do no want the saloon, but by returning control to each State, suit- able laws for every region may event- ually be worked out. America is sick of the dogmatism of the present law, and.she will use the State option as an experimental laboratory.” The other nations of the world, especially in Europe, are trying to limit drink- ing to harmless light wines and beers by different systems of restriction. _ “Thank God, we shall no longer Be. left alone to stick to a verbal lie. Every other nation has abandoned it. Well-meaning fanatics can do more harm in ten years than people of tol- erance can undo in a century. My hope is that by limitation and raising the price of spirits, as in Denmark, drinking will be decreased. If. the enormity of Prohibition is abolished by repeal, we will have the power. of dealing flexibly with the problem and a chance of finally reaching the ideal.” Dr. Kelsey, who spoke next, pre- sented the case for Prohibition. He said that the Eighteenth Amendment would undoubtedly be repealed, since the pendulum was swinging in, that direction. “To me it is almost im- possible to understand people who (Continued on.

Mr. Trexler is well-known in Princeton for his work with the Theatre Intime, as is Mr. Nichol, who has just played the lead in the undergraduate play. Mr. Kienbusch has also worked with the Intime, both as actor and as stage manager. Mr. Dunham is well-known for his work with the Triangle Club and is also the vice-president of the Intime. The other two members of the cast have had less experience, but are by no means novices. The Bryn Mawr production staff has just been announced and it in- cludes the following names: Bleanor Pinkerton, 33........: Sets Sylvia Bowditch, ’33....Construction Betsy...Jackson, 83.:.......4.

Costumes Elizabeth Edwards, ’33,...Properties The production plans are still quite general, but it has been definitely de- cided that the play will be done in modern dress and in a very stylized manner. Probably the set will be a curtain set in black and white, while the costumes will be black and white in certain acts and blue and white in others. In any case, much opportun- ity for experimentation is offered and Varsity intends to use that opportun- ity as exhaustively as it can. The Board is not able to announce definitely its plans for a tea-dance preceding the Saturday performance, | but if financial conditions permit, they hope to be able to sponsor such an affair. This is, again, something in the way of an innovation, as the dance will be directly under Varsity and not under the supervision of the Undergraduate Board, which ; has sponsored all dances at college in the past.

Smith analyzed the ‘current financial situationin two well-attended chapels, March 7 and 8. Characterizing the present crisis as the last of a series which began in October, 1929; she declared that the dozens of ‘constructive measurés which have been taken since March 4 all point toward ‘a ‘permanent uni- fication of the banking system and a speedy resumption. of normal busi- ness. Although, for want of perspective and_insideinformation,.it-is—hard—to pick out the most significant aspects of the depression, we are beginning to realize that there have been three acute crises in a long series of ealam- itous happenings. The first sign of trouble was a sharp drop in security values, which began in October, 1929, and became most pronounced a year later. Also, over a period of two and a half years there occurred a series of shocks affecting different indus- tries at different times. Commodity prices were ‘deflated, first in raw ma- terials and then in manufactured goods. With the curtailment of pur- chasing power, the American public ceased to invest abroad. Germany was unable to pay her reparations, the Allies were unable to pay their debts“ and by June, 1931, an inter- national financial crisis had devel- oped, which severely ‘affected’ British creditors. England went off the gold standard and forty-one other coun- tries followed. This deflation of security and com- modity values was accompanied by a corresponding deflation of wages and salaries. The early policy of main- taining the wage scales of employed men even while thousands of others were dismissed, was superceded in the spring of 1932 by a movement for spreading work among as many men as possible. The present emergency, Mrs. Smith said, is fundamentally a real estate panic which developed because (in spite of the fact that business as a whole had been spectacularly deflat- ed) real estate men refused to lower the interest rates on long term agree- ments. The wholesale bankruptcies and forecloslres caused by this in- elasticity aroused vigorous protest throughout the country. In Iowa, sheriff sales were obstructed and one auctioneer narrowly escaped lynch- ing. In Philadelphia, certain five- and-ten-cent stores actually went vol- untarily bankrupt in order to cance} their leases. As a result of such difficulties in both agricultural and metropolitan districts,. bank credit naturally be- came frozen, and, beginning last spring, a wave of hoarding hysteria swept the country. Although, for some unknown reason, the panic was temporarily checked last.summer, it recommenced in August, and has con- tinued until the recent climax. Even on February 25, Mrs. Smith remark- ed at the conclusion of her first talk, there were a billion more dollars in circulation outside the banks than during the boom year of 1928. Continuing her analysis the next morning, Mrs. Smith attempted to de- scribe the exact nature of hoarding. , ‘Anyone who takes money out of a (Coatinued on Page Three) Wanted Odds and ends of yarn, any color, quantity, or quality, to ‘be knit into six-inch squares for crazy quilts.

If the administration econ- tinues in its firm emer gency policy we have every reason to believe that it will be, and when the banks reopen for regular unrestricted business, the effects of the universal appeals for a growth of confidence and a campaign against fear will begin to show. These appeals have been made by practically every American in public life from the President on down, and we have no intention of echoing them. to be said has been said and with than we could muster. All that there is far more eloquence and authority We do, however, wish to apply the spirit of these appeals to the situation at college. Most of us, while we are affected by the economic crisis, are af- fected so indirectly in comparison with those in the world outside of college that we could almost be said to be untouched. We have, for the next few months’ at least, no problem of food or of shelter, which is more than can be said of many people. Our greatest problem at the moment is that of the best method of spending, or not spending, the small amounts of money we haye at our command. There is no really important hoarding problem to be dealt with, as few of us have enough money to make hoarding worth while. There is a seemingly great willingness to spend money, and a problem only in procuring enough to spend. There is, nevertheless, a definite economy program staring most of us in the face. because we simply haven’t the means. down. It is here that we feel an appeal can and should be made. We cannot-spend as we have spent in the past, The question is where to cut In the first place, while we feel that it is ridiculous to give to charity money that we actually need to remain economically sound, we do feel that the first cut in a student’s budget should not be in the money she habitually gives to those more needy than she. The necessities of life are probably a lot fewer than most of us think, and it is a good time to learn to distinguish between those things we cannot get along without and things which are dubiously beneficial luxuries at best. These really should be sacrificed in a crisis like the present one, and without appear- ing too sanctimonious we should like to suggest the money thus saved can be given away without great privation. This is not by any means a startlingly new thought, but it is surprising how few of us have ap- plied it intelligently. We cut down on week-ends and then spend: the difference on-clothes or something else that is delightfully cheap just now. balances, but we do not stop to figure out just what to do. We all of us feel that something should be done about our bank We save here and spend there without much rhyme or reason. We also are apt to let the depression become a positive disease. It has started in us the same type of fear that makes hoarders in thé world ~ outside. Every time any new expense is suggested in college, a ery of terror goes up against it that is usually somewhat out of proportion to its size and importance. Will Rogers, in commenting on the national situation, wiade what we think was an excellent remark, when he said that the thing that had saved the banks of the country and given him . new hope in thé whole American people was the sense of humor hey had shown in the banking crisis. A sense of humor and a sense of proportion are much the same thing. * IN PHALADELPHIA Theatres a Garrick: .

To the Editor of the College News :: I was deeply stirred by your edi- am writing to congratulate you on your splendid attitude and to extend to you my heartfelt sympathy for the unfeelingness of the campus. I am particularly pleased at. the Romantic Movement that you have inaugurated in college editorials..You succeed in being at once impartial and yet not cold. Your words are impersonal and yet call up myriads of associations. Your editorials are to | the point and yet their style is limpid, flowing, florescent. I was violently moved by the tien crusade against bushes called p by the white passion of student opinion. How truly disgraceful it is that the college hag left you hold- ing the lamp! Your editorial on the quota sys- tem was also no less than immense. The titanic way in which you point- ed out that something should-be done was conclusive: you made -it abso- lutely: something should be done. Is it not degrading to think that the college should ‘have deserted you so scurrilously, you who have at their own request come out so firmly with the bold doctrine that we have a prob- lem here and that we really ought to do something about it. Rare there is the matter of clothes, hich you are no less to be con- Hal obeeoel The majority of the col- lege members was indeed disgusted at itself for wearing aprons, hair- ribbons, slacks, going about as. it were with running noses or, as it were, cloister-begrimed toes, To think ‘that they should have denied their feelings as soon ag your edi- torial came out. And then your stand against at- tempts at intellectualism. How stu- pidly some people enjoy their work! Work after all is something which we all admit should not be gripping, but griping. And people who talk about their work! Really! It would be bad enough’ alone, but when it in- terrupts the bridge game, too! Words really cannot express my: feelings on that subject. I don’t think I need go on to show point by point how I feel about your paper. May I only say in conclusion how much I admire the fine courage of your editorials and how much en- joyment I have derived from perus- ing your columns. “Must go beagling now. Love, BUGS.* *Elizabeth Rendall Kindleberger, 2d. To the Editor of the College News: In reply to some criticism made of the last week’s College News, a member of the editorial staff has in- vited us to write a letter in which we can voice our sentiments and give constructive criticism. Moreover, a happy statement in last week’s edi- torial that “the medium for self-ex- pression in the News is open to ev- eryone” prompts us. ' First of all the copy editing: let us look through the last edition. Dr. Carpenter’s lecture, which was one of the most outstanding events of the year, and a real scholastic’ contribu- tion to Bryn Mawr, was given a posi- tion subordinate to Saks Fashion Show, which is of doubtful interest to the majority of the student body, and of little importance. We feel that this is aninsult to Dr, Carpenter and to the standards of Bryn Mawr. Greater care should have been. given to the composing of this page. Dr. -Carpenter’s lecture deserved a place of honor on-the front page and a two- column head. May we cite another example of lack of proportion? In the News of March 1, two front page headings are given to athletics and Dean Manning’s chapel talk on nu- merical marks is placed on page. 3. This is hardly: in line with the policy which the News Board has advocat- ed in the past, since several editorials have been devoted to marks. We do no wish to be too critical. We feel that the News of November 9, 1932, is an example of good taste in com- position. In regard to the editorial policy of the News, we do not criticize the subjects of your editorials, but the bombastic manner in. whith they are Furthermore, if you could prove that your editorial criticisms ee Seed —~+—— -work like~a‘ slave for: it. are as applicable to the majority of your readers.as you state, we would be delighted to uphold you. Unfor. tunately we do not think that~ they are, nor can we point with pride to your “new -policy,” as stated in the November 30, 1932, paper, that “im mediately before every major vaca- tion there will appear a devastating, insulting and vitriolic editorial cal- | culated to stir up enough commotion in the world to make conversation edsy for students during said: vaca- tions.” Not being on the Board ourselves we claim no merits in style. But we feel that anyone ‘who has passed the Freshman English course should be able to write comprehensibly. Just what do you mean, in your editorfal-- of March 1st, by “But no one loves, and no one woul be caught dead ab- sorbing the theory of a celestial fund of learning from which the favored ones are equipped with a gamma ray in the intellect that enables' them to see through human superstitions.” And perhaps Mr. King would teach us how “to snort at a fetish.” In concluding, may we also make a -plea for greater accuracy and thoughtful selection in your headings. In the March 1 edition you speak of Mrs. Sackville-West. As we all know, | she is either Miss Sackvillé-West or M#§. Harold Nicholson: : And we feel that Miss Bruere in the review of the Freshman Show deserves to be headlined at least as much as Miss Jones in the article about the Varsity Players’ Club’s production of “The Saint’s Day.” Yours sincerely, Eleanor R.- Eckstein, ’33; Jane Parsons, ’34; Elizabeth Cham- berlayne, ’35. To the Editor of the College News: It has been the feeling of a dis- creetly murmuring minority that The News has been on the path of inocu- ous decadence for no little time, but that now a point has been reached where action seems imperative. This action has consisted in pointing out typographical errors, questioning page placement and. editorial content, and in every way possible entering upon a campaign of destructive criti- cism. There is a certain dignity that The News has expressed in its editorials, which is rather flattering in view of the fact that it is metaphorically spoken of as “the mirror of campus thought and opinion.” It is the bar- renness of these sources that war- rants the hanging of a little crepe; the ‘willingness to belittle when it is no secret that The News board will - welcome with open arms and as one of their number anyone showing the slightest ability, Sigwed: Joan Hopkinson, ’85; Adeline Fur- ness, 735; Nancy Nicoll, ’85; Sally Hupfel, ’85; Barbara Baxter, ’36;.

To the Editor of the College News: I do not think there is any doubt that the last Freshman Show was a complete success from the viewpoint. | of the audience; and, after- voicing this opinion, most of us’ can say rio more. I, however, have had an op- portunity to observe the Show partly from another angle—namely, its ef- fect upon the freshman class—and iH. is this phase which I believe to be open to adverse criticism. Most upperclassmen look back upon their own Freshman Shows as the greatest factor of that year in uni- fying the class. For the first time (and probably the last!) the entire class worked as a whole, everyone learned to know everyone else, every- one was enthusiastic over a distinctly class project, and everyone felt it a privilege to belong to her class and I doubt very much if this prime purpose of a Freshman Show has been fulfilled this time. Happily for the delighted audience, but unfortunately for. 1936, its show was run almost entirely by certain individuals in one or two halls, who made no apparent effort (Continued on Page Three) Esther - wrasse THE COLLEGE NEWS Page Three Architectural Field Offers Opportunities Combination of Common Sense With Designing Ability is Main Requirement. IS DIFFICULT COURSE “Architecture is not a narrow kind of job in any sense,” said Georgina Pope-Yeatman in the Common Room, March. 9,.during her talk on the pos- sibilities in the fields of architecture and landscape gardening for college graduates. ‘It’ is work in which there is never much money, for the fees are not high, but one can experience professional pride, get satisfaction in doing something, and can follow an ideal by making what one does, beau- titul.”’ If one is planning to be a profes- ‘gional architect, it is wise to com- plete a four-year college céurse first, studying mathematics, through cal- culus at least, history of art, archi- tecture, and drawing. A college back- ground often enables a student to go through a professional schoo] in four or even three years, although the regular length of-time-is-five.A-girl who is not a graduate of a co-ed school should choose a co-ed school of architecture because she -will re- ceive there better training in business ‘contacts which will be helpful when she is actually working. @ For one interested ‘in architecture, the course at a professional school can afford a great deal of pleasure and enjoyment, although classes often last from nine to five, with addi- tional preparation to be done in the evenings. There is consequently no time for social activities. Problems in design are assigned which sdme- times take as long as six weeks to complete. There /are, ‘moreover, ex- aminations to..be .passed in most States before a draftsman can be registered and sign his drawings: Little distinction is being made in the business world between men and »women architects. “A _ professional attitude will get anyone a job some- where.” A girl who is planning to go into the profession of architec- ture must appreciate the résponsibili- ties attached to it. People of. dif- ferent potentialities are needed to run an office: successfully; for..example, the expert on materials, the designer, and the business executor. “The kmore you know about design, the more you have to go’on, for the great thing in architecture is design, and common sense goes with it.” Archi- tecture is undoubtedly a field full of opportunities, but Miss Pope-Yeat- man closed with the remark that “it would, perhaps, be better to go into some occupation in which there were not already so many girls from Bryn Mawr.” i Of the 542 going abroad this year 150 go to America, 131 to Japan, 121 to France, 74 to Germany, 29 to Belgium, 28 to Finland, 3 to Canada, 3 to Sweden, 2 to Italy and 1 to India. There is a great decrease in the num- ber going to Japan ;in 1931, 671 went there.—(N. S. F.

But such is the case up at Yale, and no. one has held it since 1919; in fact, no one has even applied for it. The catch is that the applicant must be christened Leavenworth.—(N. S. F. A.)

Other con- structive measures. were immediately proposed, such as the issuance of scrip, the expansion of the currency, and the improvement of the banking sys- tem with inclusion of all banks in one national system under stringent Federal control. Thus the crisis may result in the adoption of much-need- ed reforms, which otherwise would not have been secured without years of agitation.

In reply to a remark made by Dr. Bohlen about the wave of crime caus- ed by prohibition, Dr. Kelsey said that it might be partly traced to the anti-Prohibition’ propaganda, “th¢ greatest piece of peacetime propagan- da in the history of the world.” It has aimed at breaking down respect - for this law, and indirectly has un- dermined every law, by encouraging the people, through movies, newspa- pers, and magazines, to disobey part of the Constitution. z ‘Prohibition, at its worst, has made conditions better than before.

The first of the group, Dr. Saunders, whose motto was “Live and let live,” had achiqved thereby a certain self-sufficiency over his fel- lowmen. A person was to him like a page from an interminable book, and some degree of aesthetic pleasure, of humor even, was to be derived, he felt, by observing people’s actions and trying to fathom their charac. ters. With shrewdness and clever- ness he had met life face to face, and | had- conquered it> On Kana-Meéira, twin islands in the Kanda Sea, ‘on his long journey home from perform- ing an eye-operation on a wealthy Chinese trader and_pearl-fisher, he was thrown in contact with Captain Nichols, a shifty-eyed, unscrupulous, but genial pirate, troubled’/by dys- pepsia and haunted by his shrewish wife,—a man who would think noth- ing of knifing a friend if a few hun- dred quid were at stake. With the skipper, was Fred Blake, a socially prominent accountant, from Sirney, hiding from justice on account of a murder which he had been trapped into committing. Young and naive, he took life very seriously, placing his faith on position, and reputation. He worshipped Erik Christessen, a great hulking Dane, in the employ of a trading company, whose powerful physique contrasted strangely with his sensitive, idealistic mind. Erik roamed through a dream-world, such as one might find in the Arabian Nights, which was peopled by the stal- wart Portugese soldiers who had gov- erned the tropical island of Kanda in its dim past, when _ prosperous Dutch merchants had built “marble palaces” amid —its—jungle— growths. Erik and Fred formed two angles of a triangle, of which Louise was the third. Louise was the daughter of Frith, the owner of a nutmeg plan- tation. With her heavy ash-blonde hair and sunburned skin, her dignity and remoteness, she was like a god- dess out of an Icelandic Saga. Some- thing was bound to.happen when such unusual people came together. It must suffice to say here that it was Fred who unwittingly precipitated the tragedy by disillusioning Erik in regard to ‘the ideal which ahe had formed of Louise. Then fate, having accomplished its ruthless purpose, scattered these people again, and withdrew from the scene, leaving a feeling of futility and hopelessness in its wake. Dr. Saunders, was the on-looker at this puppet-show, and amused him- self in a not sympathetic way in watching their helpless antics. Death and misfortune to others left him unmoved—so detached and aloof was he from the things which are the very foundations of most people’s lives. Reality and dreams were one to him, and he reflected, consequent- ly, as he looked back on this episode “that if the richest dreams the imag- ination offered were to come true, in the end, nothing would remain but illusion.”—C..B. R. THE STAGE IS SET By Lee Simonson | To those who are interestéd in the modern theatre, its accomplishments GREEN HILL FARMS City Line and Lancaster Ave. Overbrook-Philadelphia its aims, and its future, Lee Simon- son’s book, The Stage Is Set, offers a most interesting adventure. Mr. Si- monson’s approach to the subject of scene-design is a most unusual one; he is qualified to write on the sub- ject by the place he holds in the pro. fession as a director of the Theatre Guild, and one of the most success- ful and significant designers of the theatre today. He is’also qualified to analyze the situation in general by the extraordinary background he pos- sesses. He is a Harvard graduate, having majored there in Philosophy under the famous professor, George Santayana; and he has been both a sceni¢ artist and a “painter of easel pictures.” In the first section of: his book he attempts to turn his. back- ground to use in the task of orient- ing the part of the -scene-designer in the theatre today, yesterday, and to- morrow. He says in his preface, “That I fail to see the theatre exist- ing under an unclouded heaven of yesterday or tomorrow is, I think, due to a remark made to me by George Santayana twenty-five years ago when I was taking his course on Plato. I had written my semi-an- nual thesis on some aspect of Socra- tes’ teaching, and, feeling the need of a~climax, concluded in words to this effect: ‘How marvelous to think gf these epoch-making thoughts evolved by a few friends, in simple raiment, conversing in a little courtyard, un- der a blue sky.’ The paper was re- turned with a single comment. In the margin opposite the words ‘blue sky,’ Santayana had penciled an af- terthought, ‘Perhaps. it was raining.’ Perhaps it was.” This I have quoted because I feel it to be typical of the very sane and critical view Mr. Simonson has taken about the place of his chosen work. He contends that the theatre will never be saved by the new apocalyp- tic fervors in the hearts of those who have “envisaged the theatre- continu- ously on the pti of damnation or the verge of an apotheosis.” He pokes magnificent fun at the “the- atres’ theologians” who produce all sorts of new panaceas,’and are still producing them, in order to free the mind of the playwriter, which is, as Mr. Simonson points out, inherently free. To the end of placing hig €rt in its proper place in the great com- posite Art of the theatre, he attempts an analysis of the whole panorama —every side of the-art, playwriter’s, actor’s, designer’s and. audience’s. He traces the rise and fall of the twen- tieth century creeds, showing how and why they always fell short of the great revolution they attempted. He ridicules the scene-designer as a prophet and scene-design as an inde- pendent art. And finlly he presents a critical history of the theatre. In the preface he states his purpose as follows: “This book will attempt to deflate some of the pretensions lent BOSCO Makes milk delicious Makes milk more digestible "BOSCO CO. Camdeén, N.

This effort has led me not to the theatre’s mythical fu- ture, but to its past, immensely falsi- fied by so many. apologists of the ‘new art of the theatre’ in their de- termination to make the present a door-mat on which the designer can wipe his muddy pilgrim’s feet before crossing the threshold of.an imminent golden age. I have always been skep- tical of the existence of golden ages, whether past or future. The scenic methods of the hallowed past, I have found to be quite as prag- matic as'our own. I have collected the evidence from the many available but scattered sources that have not, I think, been correlated be- fore, in order to demonstrate that the doctrine of a lost art of the theatre, once nobler and purer than our own, is no less a romantic myth than the noble savage.” In the process of fixing the modern theatre into its place in relation to the whole history of the theatre, and the scene-designer in his place in the hierarchy of the art, Lee Simonson has done a fine piece of research in theatrical history, and evolved what seems to me a fine definition of the purpose and aesthetic methods of the art of the theatre. His knowledge is ither scholarly or practical and im- mediate, and in either case there is a keenness of perception and humor, and_deftness in the handling of his material that makes his book as fas- cinating to read as it is instructive.

Jackson) In spite of its total defeat last year, Varsity, playing a fast game, was able to hold Rosemont College to a tie, 27-27, in Saturday’s match, The game was extremely exciting and the outcome in doubt until the last minute when Faeth, taking time to shoot, despite the fact. that her guard was entangled in her legs, made a pretty drop shot to stave off defeat. The team was not up to the stand- ard it has set in other games. Collier and Faeth were rather erratic, mak- ing quite a few shots ‘which bounced off the rim of the basket. Their guards were very good and as a re- sult they tended to pass back and forth in the corners:-away from the basket. In the center Remington played a neat, fast game. Her passes to the forwards were far more accurate than the week before, but. they still could be improved upon. Longacre was slow, both in getting free and in passing, showing a decided lack of practice, which broke down the unity of the team. Bowditch and Bridgman were very good. During the first guarter they seemed a little slow and quite a score was piled up on them. Once they got on to the passes of the Boniwell sis- ters they stuck like glue, and forced them to shoot from the far corners, M. Boniwell, the Rosemont captain, . who was playing her fourth game against Bryn Mawr, was unable to make her high score of other years, due to the excellent playing of Bridg- man, who was on her toes all through the game, The Rosemont team was well-bal. ‘anced, and since they have taken ad- vantage of the ‘new rules, their guarding was very effective. Next Saturday is the big game ot the season against Swarthmore. It will in all probability be very close and hard-fought and extremely well worth watching. We were gratified to-seé a small cheering section last week and hope it will be larger next time. Bryn Mavr Ist Rosemont 1st OCU Oe 6a kk fh. M. Boniwell OCoiier 63. ..44 Di ics D.

Again the forwards did not seem to function. During the first half, Meirs and Baker were unable to get together and when they did pass, it was always in the corners. .If Baker improves her teamwork and plays a less individualistic type of game she will make a good forward, for she is usually very accurate. The combina- tion of Meirs and McCormick in the second half worked much better and placed the team well in the lead. - The centers played a nice game in general, but then passing to the for- wards was rather erratic, especially Nichols’ deep passes under the’ bas- ket. The Rosemont side center was very quick and got the ball from the-center a good deal of the time. As in the first team game, the guards were the best. Except for a few times when they got left behind, they stuck well and broke up the Rosemont passing. Little played the best game this season.
