VARSITY YET UNBEATEN

 

 

In spite of the absence of-a number
of first string. players, the Varsity
Hockey team defeated Rosemont in a
decidedly one-sided contest, 6-1.

* Bryn Mawr pounded the opposing
defense throughout the game, whereas
Rosemont scored ifs only goal in one
concentrated attack in the second
half. -In spite of many corners and
numerous fumbles, play on the whole
was fast, the defense backing up the
forwards much better/than in previ-
ous games. The pdssing was fairly

it went, but there
was less concerted effort than usual,
due perhaps to the loss, of so many
regular players.

Cary, though a bit ragged at the
start, led the attack after the first
few minutes of play and scored four
of the six goals. Bridgman, at half,
should be mentioned especially for her
co-operation with the forwards, and
the blocking of several Rosemont at-
tempts to get the ball into Bryn Mawr
territory. The Rosemont backfield,
we think, deserves a lot of credit for
withstanding such a constant. barrage
as well as it did.

So far, the season has progressed
very well, but the most dangerous
threats are yet to come: the Merion

In one of the best second Varsity
games we have seen at Bryn Mawr
in a couple of years, the yellow and
white reserves defeated the .strong
Merion Cricket Club A team,on Mon-
day afternoon. The day was cold and
crisp and somehow the peppy feel-
ing was conveyed to the players. | In-
deed we have yet to see a game which
was more filled with clean, sharp
drives and nice, neat stickwork. Af-
ter some ten minutes of hard and con-
stant attacking of the Merion cage,
the team was rewarded with a one-
point lead when Bennett sent in a
beautiful goal while following up a
shot from the edge of the striking
circle. Bryn Mawr kept on pressing
to increase the advantage, but found
the Merion defense almost impene-
trable. Finally, about two minutes

before the half ended Hope Gimbel
ran through the last defenses with
some pretty dodging and lodged a
hard drive in the goal. During the
second half, the defense was given
several tests by the Merion forwards,
who attacked numerous times with
great vigor. The defense did splen-
didly, however, and Leighton in the
goal had only two or three stops to
make in the entire game. There was
a noticeable improvement in the co-
operation between the halfbacks and
the. forwards when Bryn Mawr was
on the attack. No longer was there
a great gap between the backs and
forwards and clearing shots from the
opposing backfield were generally in-
tercepted and sent up to the forwards
again. As a result of this fine unity
of play a third goal was netted about
midway in the concluding’ half.

“Not Out of the Stacks

We were almost minded to change

the name and aim of this column. We
had a good deal of success in our wish-
fulfillment program and got to read
Benchley’s From Bed to Worse (or
Comforting Thoughts About the
Bison). The old mania (dearie me,
but we thought we sloughed it off some
time ago) came upon us once more:
we almost persuaded ourselves to re-
name our allotted space, “Behind the
Bookend—or, No Creative Urge.”
, From Bed to Worse is a classic. It
leaves a lump in the throat and a
feeling for the beauty of a Saturday
drizzle with scrubby bushes. It left
us inarticulate:.as we go back over
the first two sentences in this para-
graph, we realize that it isn’t what
we ofiginally intended to say at all.
We meant to be hypercritical and un-
prejudiced. We said to ourselves,
with good intention: ‘Now, now, Zy-
mole Trokey (not our real name. We
are deliberately concealing our iden-
tity) this is the time to cast away all
personal feeling. Bias must to the
winds.” Yes. We remember the high
childish laughter that first warned
our parents of the Benchleyphobia
when we read The Tredsurer’s Report
in our youth. It was a memorable
occasion: more so than the reading
of From Bed to Worse.

If it weren’t for the fact that we
think The Treasurer’s Report incom-
parable (maybe because it was a first |
—and puppy—love), we would be ab-
solutely unrestrained in our praise of
this latest collection of essays. We
shall try herewith to effect a conver-

 

sion: From Bed to Worse is as fun-|
ny as No Poems, has inimitable illus- |
trations by Gluyas Williams, contains

a piece on pigeons (all persons on

campus who are aroused early by .

these feathered friends, please note),

a take-off of The Good Earth, a reve-

lation about the Sistine Frescos (nota
bene: all History of Art people) and
various and sundry essays solving the
Present Situations (if only by provid-
ing poetic escape).| It effc sts a ca-
tharsis of the ‘emotions: your tear
ducts will be emptied from the strain,
and you will be left in a happy, if
flabby and chair-ridden, condition,
Mr. Benchley is one of the better
humorists of our day. It is not for
us to discover that fact, and it would
be the finish of us if we were to de-
clare with fervant personal devotion,
that he is the most onsistently funny
of the lot of writers 6f*trumorous prose
(there would be the Wodehouse fans,

and the clan that read Leacock in the .

days when he wrote Nonsense Novels
and Literary Lapses, and the Thur-
ber converts and the Donald Ogden
Stewart School of behaviorists). We’d
like to, but the waters in that direc-
tion are deep—and not at all still.
