‘ ® Ye THE COLLEGE NEWS Page Three | Varsity Team Loses , Game for First Time Merion Cricket Club Wins 4-2; Germantown vs. 2nd Team Is Tied, 5-5 PLAY LACKS IN DRIVE On Saturday morning, the Varsity hockey team went down to its first defeat of the season, bowing to the Merion Cricket Club, 2-4. Merion had. Bryn Mawr on the de-| : fensive throughout the first half and scored’ three goals on straight drives down the field. Varsity seemed . to lack all its usual punch and co-opera- tion; the passing was short and usu- ally ineffectual; few rushes were made and the backfield rarely tackled until the opponents had the’ball with- in striking distance of the goal. Sev- eral opportunities to score were off- ered on corners, but the free shot- was either missed entirely or easily blocked by the Merion line. Other attempts to score were either way wide of the mark or stopped by the excellent playing of Miss Page, the - great center of the Merion defense, who seemed to. be able to anticipate Varsity’s every move. . Varsity came back with a vengeance in the second half, with Cary leading the attack and scoring the two goals. ’ The defense stiffened up considerably, worked better with the forwards and allowed Merion to score only one more goal. The forwards, however, faded out again, several pretty shots from the wing dribbling across the field only inches from the goal, but with no one there to give them a crack into the cage. Have we only a phantom forward line after all, or is it that the team missed the driving spirit of Kent at center half, for cer- tainly something was sadly lacking in Saturday’s play?

Bryn Mawr— Cary, 2. é In a fast-moving, high-scoring sec- ond team hockey game against Ger- mantown Cricket Club II on Monday, the Bryn Mawr Reserves were held to a 5-5 stalemate, The game was hard fought, and there were numerous at- tacks by both sides which gave the sidelines many thrills. German- town brought an improved team to avenge its earlier overwhelming de- feat several weeks ago. They start- ed out vigorously and soon poked a shot past goalie Leighton. Soon af- ter Bryn Mawr rallied when a few minutes later, Jo Taggart sent in a beautiful shot from her position at right wing. The play swung back and forth for the next few moments until Germantown launched an in- spired attack which netted them two points by Dot Sigel and a firm grasp on the lead at half time. Starting with the first minute of the final per- iod the Bryn Mawr combination snapped out of their earlier sluggish- ness and goals by Rosie Bennett and Taggart enabled us to tie the score. Germantown, however, retaliated with a pretty shot by the right inner Ginns and wrested the lead away once more. After much aimless running about, characterized by a noticeable lack of co-operation between the de- fense and the forwards, Hope Gimbel rushed_through-to-put the tying shot | past Lewis. A few minutes later Varsity reserves took the lead on a pretty drive of Bennett’s. This lead was held tenaciously by the rapidly tiring Bryn Mawr defense, as the states pyf ~*~ Segan to descend over the hockey field. But with scarcely 15 seconds of play remain- ing, Kitty- McLean sent a drive into the goal cage despite Leighton’s fran- tic efforts to save it. Before play could be resumed the whistle blew for the end of the game. Line-up aa B. M. II Pes. Ger. C.C. II POMGart 545%. r. w. .: P. C.Garrett Bennett ...... Pile cies R.

Social Service Work Needs New Traditions “I think the traditions of public service in this country need to be made over,” said Miss Kahn, speaking in the Common Room Friday. Miss Kahn, who has been for the past two years in charge of Philadelphia Emer- gency Relief Work, went on to say that Americans always think of oblig- atory public service in connection with foreign countries, such as England, where it is the obligation of all ‘tions vitally need the Smoking in Library Smoking is not allowed in the Cloister of the Library. The «rule for the upper campus—ap- plies to the Cloister as well. thoughtful citizens. At the present time when the coun- try is full of Emergency Relief or- ganizations which are”"manty—_, ~ cial Workers, and many of which a. under Civjl Service; opportunities in this branch of. work are many and their number will be continually ex- panded. These vast numbers of posi- ability, the training, and the quality of intellect that colleges aim to produce. Only the sort of person who has objectively con- sidered economic principles can fill these jobs. Government positions will in the future be more and more under’ Civil Service. No local social work and very few of such positions are under Civil Service now. Miss Kahn and her staff have been experimenting for some time with examinations which will soon become formal and routine for most of the positions open in So- cial Service. These examinations are both written and oral. Miss Kahn and her colleagues insisted upon a college degree as a prerequisite to these ex- aminations, although the State want- ed them to offer the examinations to anyone who had had even a little col- lege training. In the future some spe- cial college courses may be required for the candidates. Preference is giv- en, in filling vacancies, to college grad- uates who have also had some profes- sional training. The Philadelphia Board has given employment to well- qualified workers who do not live in Philadelphia County or even in Penn- sylvania, for they go on the theory that these relief organizations are na- tional, not local. Very few Bryn Mawr graduates have taken the examina- tions in the past. Miss Kahn hopes that more will do so in the future. y After the workers have passed their . examinations they enter-upon-what is coming to be the probationary period, as Junior Visitors, beginning with sal- aries of $80 to $100 a month. An at- tempt is being made to raise this scale of wages in proportion to the individ- ual candidate’s preparation. A plan “*-~nsing the State employment. agen- “ues as training fields for social work is under consideration, since there is a great deal of interviewing to be © done in these agencies. Each Junior Visitor handles from one hundred to one hundred twenty- five families. The visitor’s primary responsibility is to determine the eligi- bility of each family for relief, to dis- cover other problems the family may have, and to refer’it for the allevia- tion of these problems to other facili- . ties and resources of the community. The workers must get at all sorts of information, such as. the employabil- ity of the various members of the fam- : ilies. Therefore the State’s whole knowledge of a family depends on the | visitor’s estimate of it. There are a great many executive and administrative jobs with: Emergency Relief organizations (about 1,300 in Philadelphia Emer- gency Relief alone), for which college training would prove useful. The de- connected . Ps) cisions that must be made in such ” work require more background .-and imagination than the average clerk possesses. If unemployment insurance or even compulsory registration of un- employed comes into practice, there will be a great increase in the num- ber of visiting jobs open, similar to those in Emergency Relief with simi- lar opportunities for intreviewing and field contacts. If a study of unem- ployment statistics is begun, there will be many openings for research workers. oy ~ Good laste. | “It’s toasted” SOAS Copyright, 1934 The American Tobacco Company The clean center leaves are the mildest leaves—they cost more—they taste better—so of course, Luckies use only |.
