‘ ON peescd yn / / THE COLLEGE NEWS Page Three Varsity Wins Easily Over Remnant Team Squad of Alumnae and Agnes Irwin Students is Defeated by 46-44 Score CENTERS PLAY HARD On Wednesday evening, the Var- sity basketball teams defeated ‘the Remnants, two teams composed of alumnae of the Agnes Irwin School, 46-14 and 43-16. Faeth and Boyd, although they had an: unusually good eye for the basket, seemed to have lost their almost un- canny instinct of knowing where the other was going to be, and, as a re- sult, their passwork was rather con- fused and at times even bad. In the fourth quarter, however, they co-op- erated-much-more- easily-and-qtickly, did some nice passing and_ scored some pretty shots. Following up, es- pecially on the long shots, wouid, however, keep the ball in the forward court and hence give many more op- portunities to score. The centers were faced with an unusually strong opposition, as Long- acre and Remington, who held these positions on last year’s Varsity and were one of the best combinations ever to play for Bryn Mawr, were both playing on the Remnant team. Jones and Larned played excellently and,. except for the second quarter, when their passing was not up to the mark maintained a good offense and an un- usually strong defense. The guards played their usual steady game and by tightening up when Yeager was put in during the second half, they managed to hold her to seven points and made it prac- tically impossible for her to get close enough to the basket to score on chip shots. ‘ This was the first game in which} } the official team played as a whole, and it should, we think, be a credit to Miss Grant’s coaching and judg- // ment: The line-up was as follows: Remnants Bryn Mawf Crawford <.. .: De Ee ea es Faeth “McInness .:...

Ii the second half, however, she had dis- tinctly found the range of the net, uch more successfully and stood only one point behind Pierce in total /points. The final score was 43-16. The centers, outstripped in height by/a good six inches, did remarkably well, considering the odds against them, but a little speedier offense would have made their passing a lit- / tle easier and much more accurate. The guards were slow but steady and stuck like burrs to their long- shooting opponents. Here again a little more speed in getting away would have been a great advantage.

The Rendezvous of the College Girls Tasty Sandwiches, Delicious Suntory vy Superior ; Varsity Basketball Wins Over Phila. Cricket Club On Saturday morning the Varsity basketball team defeated the Phila- delphia Cricket Club team, 36-19. Contrary to our expectations, the play exhibited was far below the ex- cellence shown in Varsity’s previous two games. The forwards, although shooting well, had lost practically all trace of the unique teamwork for which they are famous. Not until the final quarter did they begin to show any signs of the excellent work of which they are certainly capable. The centers’ passes were either too high or so close to the sidelines gs to make play almost impossible and their defense was decidedly weak. The guards seem to be the only con- sistently good players thus far. Had the Cricket Club forwards made all the shots which they attempted, Bryn Mawr would have énded the game-on the short end of the score. As it was, a final spurt in the last quarter: aid a return to normal’ enabled both coach and-—spectators to breathie /a sigh of relief. 7 Perhaps the fact that two prac- lices and-a game preceded Satytday’s accounts for the slowness and disap- pointing type of play. If that is the explanation, perhaps week’s game will once again prove the truth of our prophecy as to/the outcome and record for the season. The line-up was as, follows: Patina CU C...

This turned out later on to be the same Bad End to which came people who smoked and drank coffee. He, how- ever, had solved the problem of daily living, and wished to pass on to us his solution: every morning he sprang’ straight from his bed into a cold shower, and consumed six plates of oatmeal while showering; he then ran five miles through snow and ice, and returned, feeling very fit, to attend his classes with healthy zest. We found ourselves wishing that he had traversed those six miles practicing dancing,instead of running! _ At that point, the policy of stag lines seemed to us perfectly obvious and most delightful. Like our broth- ers before us, at the first opportun- ity, we abandoned all shame and join- ed the happy bands pursuing our two caustic good dancers. Again, like our brothers before us, we were per- fectly content with the few pleasur- able words and steps which we spent the rest of the evening fighting to gain, and looked with conscious su- periority. upon our unhappy sisters, who had not caught on to the time- honored and approved system of that excellent American institution, the Stag Line. The American system 1s education by the adding machine, according: to Dr. Robert Maynard Hutchins, pres- ident of the University of Chicago.

It would be difficult to describe ade- quately the general excellence of the play as a whole and the Linden fam- ily can safely be reliea upon to pro- vide an exciting evening of theatre. We now come, as we knew we would sooner or later, to Richard of Bor- deaux, and Mr. King. In this his- answer to the prayers of numerous Peter*Arno dowagers plays the role of the young king of England, who was: (a.)In love with his wife, Anne of Bohemia, thereby stamping himself as. a little bit queer in the eyes of his countrymen; (b.) A.paci- fist, thereby establishing himself as nothing short of a victim of melan- cholia; ‘(¢.) Subject to violent fits of temper just at the moment when he should be calm, thereby causing him to insult his ministers at pre- cisely the Wrong moment; (d.) Con- tinually in a jam, thereby laying him- self open to the exposition of the mod- ern. playwright. The play shows him in his futile efforts to persuade the ministers of state and. the English people that war is a stupid game, and in the end we have the pathetic spec- tacle of the young king deserted by all and dethroned by a_blustering scion of the house of Lancaster? who is a whiz with a battle axe, and con- sequently more to the liking of the English, who are, as usual, anxious to clean up on the French. Perhaps we |" have not made the play sound too in- viting—if not we apologize and has- ten to assure you that we know you will like it, especially Mr. King’s diction is reported to be ex- cellent and crystal clear. The. other plays of relative inter- est that made their appearance on Broadway were greeted with indif- ferent salvos of one thing and an other. Ernest Truex is as funny as ever in a play that is more feeble than usual—Sing and Whistle. It is all about four people and their marital relations and supposed to be funny, but it isn’t—very. Mr. Truex is again the scared little man con- fronted by the hideous monster of attraction for a_ biological opposite. (we hesitate to use the word sex, fearing that it might frighten the gentleman into the.fear that he is a victim of an unhealthy complex), and he deals with the problem in his usual light manner. In this case he and a certain Miss Mathews being hap- pily married to two people who are on an expedition of questionable desti- nation in Harlem, find themselves alone and are so fascinated by the circumstances that they both get quite drunk and do it beautifully. That seems .to be about all there is to the play, and there you are. Those of us who read the’ book, Queer People, awaited with interest the results of its being produced in New York, and much to our amaze- ment it seems to have annoyed the since Phone 570 JEANNETT’S BRYN MAWR FLOWER SHOP, Inc.

They are all fat, slimy, crooked, drunk, lecherous, stupid, bawdy, loose, and profane, and as such their entertain- ment value is questionable. Hal Skelly plays the lead and he does quite well considering that he is for- ced to get drunk and stay that way for more than two acts (an act which is much more pleasant in. everyday life than on the stage). The critics hissed it with all their might and main to a man and the ads for the production now read: “They ¢an’t take it.” “They-can’t stand to have themselves shown up for what they are!” and “Why did Queer -People take the worst panning any show has received this season because it _makes fun of the theatre in a bril- liant and trenchant manner.” Maybe so, but our bet is that it is also a bad_ play. Three versions of certain question- able scenes in pictures are now be- ing produced in Hollywood. One is for the general American release, one for the more moderate States such as Ohio and Pennsylvania, and still another for England. —(N. S. F.

To the Editor of the News: It seems unfortunate that the in- telligent attack on the marking sys- tem which appeared in last week’s editorial should have been weakened by such a misleading sentence as that which states that “the majority of the freshman class was relegated to the lower registers of passing marks” in the required courses. Since English Composition is the only course required of all freshmen, it might be helpful to ‘know that of the hundred and seventeen students taking the course only twenty-one re- ceived marks in the sixties and none failed to pass the course.
