play a more direct and intelligent
game than we have witnessed in sev-

In a game played on Monday af-
ternoon, October 8th, the second var-
sity vanquished Germantown Cricket
Club second team by the score of
13-0. Although the score was absurd-
ly high, the team showed the effect
of not very long practice as a unit.
_ There was too much following after
passes and too frequent interchang-
ing of positions with resultant lack
of co-ordination. On the other hand
the team had a most potent attack
which produced plenty of goals. Be-
fore the game was over every single
member of the forward. line had
scored at least once. During the sec-
ond half the team showed signs of
fatigue and took ten minutes to score
a single goal. They then launched
forth under the leadership 6f Gimbel
and Harrington to score seven goals
in ten minutes. Other members of the
team who played well were Hasse and
Bakewell, both Freshmen who show
. possibilities for future play on the
Varsity. Comment upon the Bryn
Mawr defense must be postponed un-
“ til a later date because today’s game
= gave them little chance to show what
' they can do in a really close contest.
