Hoist Black Sail '

Varsity Crushed By Superior
Swarthmore Basketball
Champions,

Varsity was played to’a standstill by

‘the champion Swarthmore team in the
last game of the season.

There can: be
no crying over this spilt milk. In defeat
the team was far better than in its vari-
ous preceding victories: On Saturday ~it
was. .a team, a fighting, co-ordinated
team: Up till the last quarter we gave
the champions an even battle. Then we
cracked—and the final score was 51-28.
Everybody on our team played splen-
didly up to the unfortunate final let-
down., Loines and Humphries were both
well in tune with the basket and with
each other, Poe and Baer played a fast
inference: game, and .by their clever:
use of back passes to. the forwards and
guards, made the” center position of
strategic importance to the team. Free-
man and Blanchard put up consistently
strenuous defense work and their Nnter-
ceptions were at times almost miracu-
lous. Let us hand out laurel wreaths’
with the utmost impartiality and gener;
osity..of spirit. They are all “deserved.
And the last quarter was merely unfor-
tunate and-unmentionable. Our earlier
games, more or less soft and slow, had
not fitted us to keep-to-a high pitch of

- fighting efficiency for the full — -of

a fast: game.

The Swarthmore team looked’ like a
champion from the start. Their team-
work, their goal-shooting, jwent as
smoothly as well-oiled-clockwork. The
play of their captain was the high-light
of: the game: once under the basket she
‘was absolutely infallible. The line-up

American Student Delegation and it is

Private entertaining (a ball and a garden

year- in honor of the American student
visitors) and contacts
leaders of the day make possible an in-
timacy with European life that can be
gotten in no other way.

In planning these. tours, variety wit
ainity was the aim. With a brief time in
London, Geneva and _Paris' for every
visitor, attention is concentrated in each
tour on one geographical area or one
phase of culture. The student of
guage, of history, of economics, fan
of political. science, will find in sorhe one
itinerary an opportunity for applying his
special knowledge, while he who wants
only a” more ‘general understanding of
European life will be satisfied by short
periods in widely different places.

Tours A and B are for the latter and
for those whose time is limited... The
first, five weeks only, includes glimpses of
both rural and urban England, Geneva

night divided between .Paris and the

Vociferous crowds thronging to the.

first interclass swimming meet of the

year were not granted the satisfaction?

of broken ‘records and consequent high
excitement. B.~ Bryant’s phenomenal
catch-up in the last lap of the relay was
the high-light of the meet for the spec-
tators. Other features were Frothing-
ham’s fifty-five-foot plunge, Field’s: win
in the breast stroke, and Guiterman’s
diving.

The second swimming meet™on Satur-
day,’ Match 17, proved even less inter-
esting than the first;.even the scores
were lower. The one excitement was

within three feet of the record esfab-
lished in 1925. The diving was not ex-
ceptional, and neither Bryant nor Tuttle
did as .well as last week. 1928 was han-
digapped without Field or Gaillard, and
1931 withdiit’Waples. No records were
brokén ‘or approached.

The victory for the two meets went to
1929 with twenty-three points, winning
first place in both the sixty-foot free

‘Mukerji on Return Visit

Talks to News Reporters
“Indians would prefer to have a- Tory
Government Liberal one,” said Dhan Ghopal Mukerji
to a News representative last week. “The
Tories will fight and you can tell, where
they stand; Liberal or Labor govern-
ments compromise and promise and don’t
keep their promises until the situation
gets so bad that it takes force to cope.
with it.” .
Mr. Mukerji made ‘several other in-
teresting statements such as that the
Hindus and the Jews exploit the “gullible
Christians” with their desire for “soul
searching” by psychoanalysis and other
devices. Mr. Mukerji mentioned the fact
that the’ prescription of colors suited to
personality might be exploited in a similar
fashion.

On the subject of Miss Mayo, Mr.
Mukerji was more or less reticent. ‘ He
did say that Mother India was so broad
that it made it easy to refute; that if
Miss Mayo had been more restrained, in
for instance her use of “all” for “some,”
she would have made a better case. “Miss
Mayo has roused India so: thordughly
with her book that I think it is safe, to
say the Simon Commission would not
have met stich tremendous opposition if
it had not been written.” >

“The European. Fellowship, which pro-
vides for a-year of study abroad in any
country and in any university, according
to the holder’s discretion, is awarded
each year to the member of the Senior .
Class who “by her college record, by °
the quality of her work, her promise of
constructive ability, intellectual, interest
and steadiness of purpose shows the fair-
rest promise as well as thé finest perform-
ance.” It-was founded in 1889 when the
first class graduated and has been award-
ed every year since.

Miss Gregson, who. majored in Mathe-
matics’ was recommended by the Depart-
ment as having offered. solid and intelli-.
gent work, as having the’ power. of
presentation ,and the,seholastic. conscience
which is the chief cornerstone of valu-
able work. ss

“She possesses two qualities which en-
dear her to the hearts of the alumnae,”
said Miss Park. “She is the daughtér
of Edith Goodell Gregson, class of 1900,
and Regional Scholar of the Chicago dis-
trict, which proves that she was hand-
picked by the aluminae of the corn belt.”
