Team Stages Come-Back
on Saturday.



The team that beat the Philadelphia
Cricket Club 4-2 on Saturday morning

“was a different team from the one that

‘suffered defeat on Friday. Something
had. happened overnight. In individual
‘brilliance,. in energy, in. teamwork, they

~
‘keepers, two small boys, and -four dogs
witnessed ‘a game which was worthy of
‘a far larger :and ‘more enthusiastic audi-
ence, ‘ :
The first half,-although it ended in a
tie, was the best. The improvement in
the Bryn Mawr p'ayers was visible in
the opening ‘minute of play. ~ Longstreth
scored the first point almost immediately.

"The forward line was in splendid forth, |

“Mawr’s goal, the Cricket Club team re-

‘gained its equilibrium, and Sue . Cross,
all-American left inner, evened the score.
-For some time no more points~ were
made, but the ‘balance inclined towards

Bryn Mawr. Frequently an inch to the
right or left would have meant angther
‘goal, but the forwards. were. uncert#h: in

their aim, and the Varsity was showing
signs of fatigue. At length. the. Phila-
delphia right wing, for once achieving
the impossible, *® evaded Hirschberg’s
‘strenuous stick and scored a second goal.
This aroused the Bryn Mawr players,
and they succeeded, in spite of repeated
tumbles, in tieing the score. The half
ended® with a collision of heads in the
alley which*temporarily knocked out the
opposing left ‘halfback.
Second Half Drags.

On the whole, the playing in the second
half was neither so sure nor so snappy
as in the first. There was a good deal
_of_bunching, andsome_careless passing.
However, as the score was brought from
2 all to 4-2°in favor of Bryn Mawr we
do not complain.

At first the P. C. C. team frequently
‘menaced the Bryn Mawr _ goal, but
Johnny Reiser, in the posture of a lioness
defending her young,»was able to» ward

off all attacks.”

The first score was made by Blanchard
‘after a long dribble by Moore; and soon
afterwards a second goal, made by Cap-
tain Wills, insured a safe margin of vic-
tory. The game ended just as the Varsity
‘had ‘safely extricated themselves from a
penalty corner. .

Moore Stars.

The outstanding star of the game was
H. Moore, ’32, who wore out two sticks
jn her enthusiasm. Her speed, her in-
telligent passing, end the evident use of
her head earned ‘her the honors of the
day. But the- old faithfuls were also
on the: spot. Hirschberg’s stick-work is
so skillful and .so reliable that we have
almost begun to take perfection for
granted. in the left. back- field.

The line-up was:

Bryn. Mawr: Blanchard, Moore, Wills,

Longstreth, Crane, Balch, G. Woodward,

Hirschberg, McCully, Reiser.
Longstreth, 2; Blanchard, 1;

Wills, 1.
Philadelphia Cricket Club: Chapman,

Schwarz, Elliot. Goals: Cross, Cheston.

Armistice Day Tea Held ‘in
Common Room Saturday
~A tea was held in the Common Room
on Saturday in honor of Armistice ‘Day.
#dith Baxter, ’30, acted as hostess and
introduced five of the foreign graduate
students who spoke ofthe student life
i their respective countries. Miss Bax-*
ter in her introduction stressed the fact
that only by education and meeting
people of other nationalities could we
puild up an international‘ way of think-
ing. ig a
The first to speak was Miss Griffiths,
of the University of Wales. She ex-
plained that this University is made up
of four’ colleges in different parts of
Wales. She herself: comes from the
smallest’ and newest: the college at
Swansea. AII are co-educational, and all
offer the same general type of courses.
A feeling of unity is engendered espe-
cially by an institution called Inter-col-
‘lege Week. Sports have a more impor;
tant place in British’ Universities than
they do here, Miss Griffiths said. The

to Parliament.

Miss den Hartog said a few - words
aout the Universities of Holland. There
are six in a country of seven million
people. The Dutch are fond of democ-
racy and liberty, and this is reflected in
their educational system. They live at
home or in’ boarding hotses, . not
dormitories, and so their education
cheaper than here. Their attendance at
classes is absolitely unsupervised, and
the first examination does not come for
three years. This complete liberty is
sometimes dangerous. But a_ student
may safely spend as much as half a year
looking around. and amusing himself
before hé need settle down to work. The
independence of~ the Dutch is likewise
reflected in their sectarianism and their
itidividualism.- Each religious group
wants an institution of its own, and
within the colleges there is little collec-
tive life. The informality and love of
tradition of the students of Holland was
likewise mentioned.

Miss Bachstrom, of the University of
Upsala, electrified the guests with. her
account of ‘the annual spring festivity in
Sweden, when the students dance all
night and most of another with short
intervals: for eating and watching the
sunrise.

In her account. of student life-in-Ger-
mariy, Miss Seifert. emphasized the part
played by the corporations, the powerful
students’ clubs, whose members are so
noticeable in German University towns
with their brightly-colored caps and belts
They take the lead in dancing, in. fenc-
ing, and in the student self-government
associations, although they are. numeri-
cally a minority. The German students

government has to reckon with student
opinion.
incline towards the right, in opposition
to the Social. Democratic party. The
German government has..tried to. put a
stop to the movement for Union with
the Austrian students because it also was
a manifestation of the right only. Miss
Seifert urged any American students who
went to Germany not to be discouraged
if they were slow to make friends among
the Getmans. This. necessarily arises
from the lack of collective life in. foreign
Universities. .

Miss Hingres spoke for -France. Shé
also pointed out the individualistic har-
acter of student life in Paris. - There is
no place to meet in the Sorbonne ‘except
the halls and the steps of the Chapelle:
The social life goes on in the streets
around the ‘Sorbonne and the Luxem-
bourg gardens. Associations of students
are:mostly political. The fact that the
| Sorbonne is in the center of a great city,
however, Miss Hingres felt to be an
advantage. There is more opportunity
for distraction and one is more in touch
with actual life.

Internationally-Minded Writer.

A great traveler since his student days,
when he used to spend his vacations in
walking trips through France, Italy, Ger-
many and the mountains of Switzerland
and Austria, Dr. Duhamél is one of: the
most internationally .minded of contem-
porary French writers, while remaining
one of the most-French. His base is dis-
tinctly Paris not Geneva, but .his sym-
pathy is worldwide.. The overwhelming
sense that he has of the essential broth-
erhood of the men of all nations seems
to be what, remains with him from his
excursion into the doctrine of “/’Unani-
misme.”’ This doctrine was evolved by
Jules Romains in the little group of
young poets and artists who from 1906
to 1908 made an attempt at community
living at their “Abbaye” at Creteil near
Paris. Duhamel was a member of the
group and it was between 1906 and 1914
that he wrote most-of-his-published-verse
and his studies in the poetry of Paul
Claudel.

During his fifty months as surgeon at
the front he produced the ‘two books that
brought him fame: La lie Des Martyrs
and Civilisation. Since the war he has
given us a successidn.of.novels and books
of travel and the very distinguished Essai

Will You Debate or Will
You Listen to Others?

The debating club, of which we cwarded
our readers some weeks: ago, has actually
‘become -a~ going. concern---It~-will~ hold
its first public. debate this Thursday eve-
ning at 9.15 in the Common Room in
Goodhart Hall. The subject, one. which
should be of interest to. everyone, is:
“Resolved: That the English tutorial
system of education -is better than the
American system of lectures and exami-
nations.” The debaters will be: A. Mer-
rill, A. Lord, J. Wise and. V... Hobart.
There will be two on each side, but no
one knows yet which will be on which
side. Afterwards the audience will have
a chance to vote on the decision itself,
and a meeting will be held to vote on
the future organization of the club. The
membetship is by no means closed, and
there. is plenty of room for good talkers,
and even more for good listeners.. All|
the college is urged to attend this brave
beginning.

This sudden announcement is the out-
come of a meeting which was held by a
few students and members of the faculty
at *Mrs. Collins? house. last Thursday.
E. Stix, who has beer the moving spirit
of the idea, outlined the purpose of the
club, and a general discussion was held
ton how to proceed. Miss Carey, Miss
Grierson and Dr. Gray very kindly con-
sented to act as critics of the first: at-
tempts, and F. Hand, M. Lambert and
A. Merrill were chosen as a: committee
to choose the subject and the teams for |

Good-Bye, Mr. Smith, and
Good Luck to Mr. Hoover

“I feel myself in a péculiarly unhappy
situation this morning,” began, Mrs.
Manning in Chapel last Wednesday—the
day when news of Mr. Hoover's election
was being broadcast all over the- United
States. However; the Dean proceeded
to declare herself a conservative in the
matter of politics: the sudden making
over of a government and. the inaugurat-
ing of a°new plan of procedure would
probably not do us any good, ‘and would
only get us into more difficulties. ~ We
ought to be able to hope for. reforms
from the Republican. party as. well as
from the Democratic party. Yet one is
tempted to question Mr, Hoover’s ability
in the leadership which Mr. Coolidge
But naturally Mr. Hoover's

sorely: lacks. °
disqualifications were not so much
deciding factor in the campaign as those
of Mr. Smith. The latter’s religion, his
connection with Tammany, and his stand
wn the prohibition issue swung the elec-
tion for the Republican candidate. Per-
sonally Mrs. Manning would have liked
to see a Catholic elected; she ‘considered
his affiliation with the New York °politi-
cal organization but an unfortunate com;
plication; and although she disagreed
with his views on the prohibition ques-
tion, shé admired the positive position he
took ,to uphold: his convictions on the
issue.

Turning from her own beliefs the Dean
considéred the future possibilities of Mr.
Hoover as administrator. He ex-
ceedingly~ shrewd in appointments, and
if he is able freely to choose the men
to work with him his Presidential career
will ‘begin. fortuitously. . Moreover on
several points Mr. Hoover has a chance
to do éxcellent work, perhaps better than
that which Mr. Smith would haye done.
Especially upon the confused problem of
farm relief he may work to great advan-
tage, aided by his wide .and intimate
knowledge of farming difficulties and
market reforms. In regard to putting
through plans for the extension of the
national budget and general economic
me@stires, one wonders what devices’ Mr."
Hoover will use. And, finally, one “ques-
tions his attitude oh foreign policy whigh
now seems rather ‘nationalistic—although
of course Mr. Hoover ‘has had consider-
able experience ‘in such \matters.

“Sf am looking forward\ to the next |

Presidential term with cttriosity ,and

ever, how could any one have watched
the Republican administration’ for the
last eight years without embracing the
chance of repudiating during this election’
all that it has stood for in the past.”

the new order in international affairs as

anarchy, which ‘is no longer endurable
nor possible. : : °

He recalled the cost of the war: ten
million men were killed on the field of
battle, twenty million were wounded, ten
million died.of disease or privation .dur-
ing the blockades, ten million children
were made orphans, and five’ million
women became widows. All this was
the result of four years of conflict. But
the sacrifice of lives was not. the only

Dr. Fenwick related how he “had ‘seen
very young boys in Berlin dn the early
days of.the war marching to what they
believed was the neéessary defense of
their country. That.the government was
militaristic cannot alone explain the self- °
deception of a whole-nation. In London,
Dr. Fenwick saw exactly the same thing:
youths tarching’to the -defense of their
country; and in Paris and Russia and:
Italy it.Was the same. The youth of all
the nations, on.one side as_on, the other,
die in the same.belief, with the féeling
that they are performing the supreme
Christian act. Not only individual coun-
tries, but the system -as a whole is at
fault. The principle on which interna-.
tional disputes have been regulated is a

principle of anarchy: each nation has
been the judge in its own case. Nine
hundred years ago individuals settled

their-“quarrels—in—the—same—anarchistic
manner. Every’ man considered himself
his own judge. It was the old order.
But among nations it endured up to 1914,

The brisk, invigorating weather did not
seem to be able to induce 1930’s team to
enough enthusiasm last Monday after-
noon. With one right wing entirely de-
molished, the. crippled team entered the
fray. 1932 was there with flying colors
and. by a-score of 8-1 proved that a co-
ordinating team, although new in the -
business, is better than a host of veterans
who take no notice of each other.
