The practice was snappy though in|}
poor form, and marred by too many blind
ou and too little dribbling. The play-
ing was largely in the left field, giving M.
Tyler '19, left wing, an opportunity for
some good individual work. R. Gatling
‘19, Davies against Varsity, made several
excellent stops. ‘The defense promises to
be strong in spite of the loss of M.

6 GAMES ON VARSITY SCHEDULE
The Varsity hockey schedule for 1917
includes five games against the Philadel-
phia clubs, ending with a game against
the All-Philadelphia team, which Bryn
Mawr defeated last year for the first time
in the history of the college. The
schedule:
Saturday, Oct. 20—Haddonfield.
Saturday, Oct. 27—-Merion.
Saturday, Nov. 3—Philadelphia.
Saturday, Nov. 10—Germantown.
Saturday, Nov. 17—Lansdowne.
Saturday, Nov. 24—All-Philadelphia.
The first and second teams are to have
four practices a week, according to the
new hockey schedule, leaving the fields
free on Thursday afternoons for the
third, fourth, and fifth team practices.
The third teams are only to have three
weekly practices after 4 p. m., Monday,
Wednesday, and Thursday, and the
fourth teams will play early on Wednes-
day. Fifth and sixth teams, which in-
clude only 1920 and 1921, will practice
every day at 3.40. The graduate hockey
team will practice daily at 12 m.
CANNING RECORD MADE AT FARM
’ A record in canning was made last Sat-
urday at the Bryn Mawr Farm, when a
number of Freshmen and other students
who went out for the day turned out 715
tins of tomatoes. 412 is the largest num-
ber ever put up before in a single day.
Many green tomatoes were picked just in
time to save them from the frost.
' Next week’s activities will probably be
shelling beans and digging beets, carrots,
and other root vegetables, which will be
brought back in truck-loads to the col-
lege. Twenty people or more are needed.
Ih case the college students are unable to
go out, the work will be done by students
of the West Chester Normal School.

ments among the four head workers, each

ENGLISH OVER PARIS PHONES
BARS LET DOWN FOR AMERICANS
English may now be spoken over the
telephones in Paris for the first time
since the war began, according to a re-
cent Paris despatch.
“The presence here of several thou-
sand newly arrived Americans who have
not been able to master the French ver-
nacular, induced the authorities to modify
the rule laid down at the beginning of
hostilities that no language but French
could be used over the telephone”.
NEW DOCTOR LIVES AT INFIRMARY
The new house physician of the col-
lege, Dr. Carrico, who lives at the In-
firmary, will be in her office daily except
Sunday at 8 to 9 a. m., and from Monday
to Friday at 4 to 5.30 p. m.
Dr. Carrico graduated from the Uni-
versity of Chicago and the Rush Medical
School, where she was a member of the
Class of 1916. She practised first in Il-
linois and came here from the Memorial
Hospital, Worcester, Mass.
Last Year’s Nurse in France
Miss Mills and Miss King are the new
nurses this year. Of last year’s nurses
Miss Loughery is in France with the
Harvard Unit and Miss Sharp and Miss
Condon are in Massachusetts.
Wat Boosts Price of Balls
The war is being brought home to the
‘Athletic Department this fall by the
scarcity of hockey balls. The price of
these balls, which are made in England,
‘hag risen in the past year from $2 to $3,
| at present they are almagst impossi-
to secure.
iable to get three this season.
Instead of the captains looking out for
the balls, as has been the custom, the
|} coaches are now to take care of them,
since the captains last year mislaid 21
balls, making a considerable loss to the
Athletic Association.
LIBERTY LOAN BOOMED ON CAMPUS
A movement is on foot to sell two hun-
dred Liberty Bonds to Bryn Mawr
through the four classes now in college,
the interest to go to the class treasuries.
As yet the scheme is still tentative and
the undergraduates have taken no action,
although the class presidents have prom-
ised to bring up the matter shortly. The
originators of the idea are said to be a
member of the Facully and an alumna of
1017.

L}ATHLETIC COACH WORKS OUT
NEW TRAINING SYSTEM
May Solve Lower Team Problem
A new system is being worked out by
Miss Applebee in connection with the
athletic and gymnastic department. The
plan is to have four or five “Demonstra-
tors”, who will be trained to become ath-
letic and gymnastic directors. They will
have work in the theory and practice of
physical training in the mornings and
will coach athletics in the afternoons.
The coaching of the third, fourth and
fifth teams has been a difficult problem
for the Athletic Association to handle,
and it has been felt for some time that
in the major sports, as well as in tennis,
swimming, and track, the athletes who
fail to become stars do not have enough
coaching.
The course planned by Miss Applebee
will take two years. The two demonstra-
tors now taking the course are Miss Jean
Hammes and Miss Carol Keay.
