SNOW PREVENTS FINISH OF HOCKEY |
SEASON
. Finalists
Third, fourth and fifth team titles were
‘left undecided on account of the snow,
but an arrangement has been made to
divide up the points according to the
standing of the teams when playing was
stopped.
On third 1919 and 1920 had each one
game, 6 to 0 and 1 to 4, and had tied once,
0 to 0, so each class gains five points.
Fourth team score, showing one 3 to 3
tie between '17 and ’20 and one victory
for ’20, 4 to 3, stands now two points for
’17 and three for ’20. Though the Sopho-
more fifth team after tying with the
Freshmen twice, 0 to 0 and 1 to 1, beat
them 2 to 1, the single point for the team
is shared equally and each has one-half a
point.
IMMENSE ALUMN4 ORGANIZATION
FOR ATHLETICS IN NEW YORK
B. M. Graduates Secretary and Treasurer
MOVIES TAKEN OF THE HOCKEY
In 19138 two Barnard graduates started
the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of
New York City with twenty-five members.
The object was to furnish “exercise and
recreation to college women under inex-
pensive and congenial conditions”. The
fall of 1916 shows an organization of 975
members, which provides every imag-
inable sport from basket-ball to bowling.
Katherine Ecob, Bryn Mawr ’09, is the
executive secretary and Agnes Morrow
12 is the treasurer.
All fall hockey has been played at Van
Cortlandt Park with moving pictures taken
of the game as a grand finale. The water
polo team now practising may challenge
the Bryn Mawr Varsity. Horseback rid-
ing is so popular that there are two full
beginners’ classes. Every Monday even-
ing at the Thompson gymnasium, at 120th
Street and Broadway, athletic classes are
held with basket-ball, swimming, bowling,
gym, dancing, and indoor tennis. Fencing
is being planned for Wednesday evenings
at the Fencers’ Club, 2 West 45th Street.
Skating has been arranged for at the St.
Nicholas Rink.

every Wednesday evening at 9.15. A
fair number have come out and they
plan to play the undergraduates in the

FOLK-SONGS AND DANCES FOUND
IN AMERICA
“Lonesome Tunes” Sung by the Moun-
taineers of South Carolina
Summer courses in folk-dancing, with
exhibitions on an outdoor stage, are given
in this country by Mr. Cecil Sharpe, of
the school of folk-dancing at Stratford-
on-Avon. From his recent folk-lore in-
vestigations in this country he has found
that the mountaineers of South Carolina,
Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky not
only keep up old English folk music, but,
contrary to the belief of Professor Kit-
tredge, the great ballad expert, they are
constantly making new songs and dances.
These are divided into two classes: long,
narrative ballads and songs of emotion,
“lonesome tunes”, and “fool songs”, those
of a humorous turn.
SWIMMERS PRACTISING FOR MEET
1917 and 1919 Lack Few of Last Year's
Entries
Since the swimming meet comes 50
soon after vacation, a week and a day,
much of the practising has necessarily
been done already. 1917’s squad promises
to be almost the same as last year, E.
Faulkner only having left. R. Driver ’19,
who swam for speed, is the only loss of
the Sophomores. 1918 will miss their
fancy divers, H. Hammer and M. Allen,
and will not enter the event at all. P.
Helmar, K. Cauldwell, B. Weaver, K.
Townsend, M. L. Mall, M. S. Cary and E.
Stevens are among the candidates from |
1920:
A few dark horses have come out for
the first time this year, M. Rupert ’18 for
plunge and M. Butler '19 and E. Carus '19
for diving.

TWENTY-ONE FAIL GERMAN ORAL
Seven Left to Take Both
Out of the forty Seniors who took the
second German oral Saturday, twenty-one
failed. Last year, out of the same num-
ber from 1916, fifteen failed, but 1917
evens things up by its better record in
French. Only seven Seniors are left who
have to take both the third orals.
The statistics for the last four classes
in the second German oral are:
1913—24 passed, 20 failed.
1914—-25 passed, 17 failed.
1915—17 passed, 25 failed.
1916—25 passed, 15 failed.
The results this year were: Passed, 19
(47.5%), Cline, Colter, Coulter, Curry,
Dixon, Emerson, Foster, Greenough, Hem-
enway, E., Hoff, Jopling, Kinsey, Scatter-
good, Stevens, Tattersfield, Tuttle, Wil-
cox, Willard; failed, 21 (52.5%), Allport,
Casselbury, Collins, Curtin, Diamond,

AS OTHERS SEE US—
THROUGH THE EYES OF “TIP”
A cartoon of the political rally in “Tip”,
not sparing in its expressive portrayal of
faculty and student, was a special feature
of the issue of “Tip” for December. The
the eager
faculty rooters, a debauched prohibition-
ist and a “News” reporter hammering on
a typewriter in the “press gallery” of the
gymnasium, were some of the outstand-
ing features sketched in telling lines.

Viewed as a whole the season pod been
a good one. The fact that the three
fields have been in constant use has made
it possible for many more people to prac-
tise daily and the improved standard of
play on the lower teams bears witness to
the interest and regularity of their play-
ers. This year, too, the lower teams
played two out of three games for the
championship instead of one. The plan
of drawing up teams tentatively, early in
the year, and making each person respon-
sible for providing a sub, has worked
fairly well. More people have come out
since they felt themselves more essential
to the team than when a long list was
posted for every practice.
ICE TENNIS INSTEAD OF LAWN
A combination sport in the form of ten-
nis on ice is being inaugurated at the Ice
Palace in New York. To-morrow the first
game will be played. The players are
tennis experts from in, or near New York,
who have had experience with hockey and
are at home on ice.
Prehistoric Skull in Dalton
A brontotherium skull has recently
been acquired by the Geology Department
and may be seen in the very interesting
collection of geological specimens on the
top floor of Dalton. A brontotherium is
a prehistoric animal.
