1917 WIPES UP 1918, 18 TO 8

Passing Good, But Forwards Weak



The first game between the Juniors and
Sophomores on Tuesday, won by the
Juniors with a score of 18 to 8, was unin-
teresting from the onlookers’ point of
view. The score shows what an easy vic-
tory was 1917's. During the first half
they outplayed their opponents in every
way with the possible exception of the
guarding, for 1918’s guards, C. Fiske and
T. Howell, would have made a strong de-
fence against players less quick and ac-
curate in throwing than §S. Jelliffe, L.
Brown, N. McFaden, BE. Emerson, and H.
Harris. In the second half 1918’s passing
improved materially and they held their
opponents to a greater extent, but time
after time the forwards seemed unable to
put the ball in the basket after it had
been passed to them.

NATIONAL SUFFRAGIST TO SPEAK



Dr. Shaw’s Story of a Pioneer



The Reverend Anna Howard Shaw,
Honorary President of the National
American Woman Suffrage Association,
will speak on Friday, May 5th, at an open
meeting of the Bryn Mawr Equal Suffrage
League on “Suffrage in 1850 and 1916”.
After the lecture, the Suffrage Club will
give a reception to Dr. Shaw and its
guests in Rockefeller.

Dr. Shaw is well known to those who
have not heard her speak by newspaper
and magazine accounts and by her auto-
biography, “The Story of a Pioneer”.

The book, published: in September 1915
is a remarkable document of a remark-
able life. It tells of her family’s sailing
when she was four years old from Eng-
land to America, of its struggle in the
wilderness of northern Michigan, and
finally of her own career.

The book possesses the same quiet
power and graphic intimate style which
mark Dr. Shaw as a speaker. It is
crowded with anecdotes of crossing rall-
road trestles through floods, of prevent-
ing panics in lecture halls set on fire by
the party against which she was talking,
and of all-night journeys in freight cars,
engines, and cabooses. It mentions ap-
preciately the work of President Thomas
and Miss Garrett in helping Susan An-
thony and the suffrage cause.

Dr. Shaw has lectured in every State in
the Union and has spoken before commit-
tees of both Houses of Congress. She
was the first ordained woman to preach
in Berlin, Copenhagen, Christiana, Am-
sterdam, and London. She was President
from 1904 to 1914 of the National Ameri-
can Woman Suffrage Association.

D. SHIPLEY '17 PRESIDENT OF
UNDERGRADUATE ASSOCIATION



A. Werner Reads Report of Past Year



The Undergraduate Association elec
tions for 1916-17 are: D. Shipley °17,
president; V. Kneeland 18, vice-president
and treasurer; L. Hodges ‘18, secretary,
and J. Peabody '19, assistant treasurer.
The report for the past year was read and
approved.

In her report, Miss Werner said that
when the present administration went
into office last year, the cut rule had not
yet been decided; that on June 2nd the
Association received a note to the effect
that from September of 1915 the cutting
would be regulated by the students with
warning from the faculty when excessive.
The statistics of last year and this show
that the amount of cutting has been less
since the students began to control it.
“This has been due”, said Miss Werner,
“to the stand taken by the Association
and to the strength of public opinion, and
next year it will depend on the members
of the Association whether the present
system continues to be successful’.

Committees Do Good Work

Miss Werner said that the Advisory
Board this- year has become more impor-
tant, since it has been made an advisory
board to President Thomas. She spoke
of the various motions passed during the
year, one of the most important of which
is that Freshman Parade Song can not
be parodied after the band starts playing
in Pembroke Arch.

She said that President Thomas had
granted the request of the Association
with regard to sending a written explana-
tion to the President of all cases where
students have been suspended or expelled
for the infraction of College rules. She
emphasized the improvements of the Lost
and Found Bureau and of the Denbigh
Fiction Library, and mentioned the form-
ing of a new committee to run the Tea
Room. “The present interest of the As-
sociation is in raising funds for the Gar-
rett Memorial”, said Miss Werner in con-
clusion, “and the fund should be com-
pleted by the Shakespearean Festivals if
every student does her part well”.

1919 WINS FIRST BASKET-BALL
GAME FROM 1916



Playing Fast But Inaccurate.



In the first game of the series between
1916 and 1919, played Monday, the
Freshmen were the winners by a score of
12 to 6. The game was marked by en-
ergy and speed, but also by a great deal
of fouling and fumbling. M. Peacock ran
up the Freshman score eight points and
shot two spectacular goals. M. France
’19 was remarkably sure in catching and
accurate in passing. 1916 gained most
of their: points through M. Branson’s
steady throwing of foul goals. ©
