Varsity Team Score Surprise Victory : Visiting Alumnae Find Soe a a frog : oa : Isabel Foster, Founder

October 15, Hockey Field.—A small
group of alumnae and _ students
watched the Varsity hockey team win
a surprise victory over the German-
town Cricket Club, 5-1.
Neither side scored during the first
half, but at the opening of the second
_period Bryn Mawr, led by Bakewell,
who accounted for three of the Bryn
Mawr goals, carried the attack to Ger-
Lvs
mantown, Bakewell received the ball]
on a corner from Wyld, and shot it
past the goalie into the net. A few
minutes later Stokes took the ball near
the 50-yard line, outdistanced and out-
dodged her opposing backs to put it
right between the goalie’s legs for a
score.
When another determined rush by
the Bryn Mawr forwards brought the
score to 8-0, the desperate German-
town team rallied briefly to make one
goal before the Bryn Mawr team once
more took over the game. Bakewell
and Stokes tallied:the last two goals.
The varsity forward line worked to-|
gether more smoothly and at the same
time showed more determination in
rushing the ball in the goal circle
than did the second team in last Mon-
day’s game. Their shooting ithproved
in the second half, and they sent the
bail into the corners instead of at the
goalie’s pads.

Second Varsity Defeats
Phila. C. C. Blacks, 1-0
M. Kirk of Bryn Mawr Tallies
Only Goal in First *Half
Oe 11, Hockey Field—The sec-
ond varsity hockey team played bet-
ter than usual in the first game of the
season to defeat the Philadelphia
Cricket Club Blacks, 1-0. The single
tally was made in the first half by
Marian Kirk.
Early itt the game the Cricket Club
team came close to scoring, when Beck,
Bryn Mawr goal, fell down after stop-
ping a hard shot, but luckily th bal
was driven out of bounds. Bryn Mawr
launched two determined attacks on
the Philadelphia’ goal which were
turned back by their goal-guard, but
late in the first half Kirk came in
from the wing to put in the winning
goal. During the second half the play
see-sawed between the 25-yard lines,
and neither team seemed able to rush
the ball through the opposing defense.
Our forwards had little trouble car-
rying the ball down the field, but once
in the cirele they missed many. oppor-
tunitfes to score. Several times they
were within a few yards of the goal,
'. where a determined rush would have
resulted in a score, but they “hung
back and allowed the opposing backs
to block their attack.
Ligon, center half, stood out in an
adequate but undistinguished defense.
She backed up her teammates depend-
ably and showed good judgment in her
passes to the forwards. The backs
were able to check the opposing for-
wards, but often failed to work to-
gether to clear the ball out of danger.

In the parlance of 1913 “a college
girl was a class below a society girl,”
said Mrs. McCollester. Only five of
bers of our team fought over the
possession of the bell, while one of
the opponents snatched it away from
both of them. The backfield was quite
powerful offensively, but when it
came to defensive attacking the play-
ers were slow and hesitant. It is to
the credit of the forward line that
during most of the game the play took
place in front of the goal which Mer-
ion was defending.
, The score at the end of the first
half, in spite -of a collision which
temporarily affected our goalie, was
3-0. Two of the goals were made by
Edith Lee, the other by Nancy Boyd,
both of whom are freshmen. In the
second half, Sue Wilson made. one
goal, and Lee made the other amid
frequent skirmishings in front of the
goal.
The line-up of the teams was as
follows: _

1913 girl could not possibly come out
and also go to college.
The picture of Bryn Mawr in the
war years is.a pastel version of Vera
Brittain’s Oxford. At first, said Laura].
Branson Linville, ’15, undergraduates
were “interested,” much as we are in-
terested in the Spanish conflict—with
the important difference that even at
the beginning few people idealized
pacifism. In order«tehelp, girls
worked on the Bryn Mawr farm and
helped can foods at Baldwin School,
under the direction of Helen ‘Taft
Manning, ’... A very few went abroad
to nurse, and Eleanor Dougherty went
to dance for the soldiers.
When the United States entered,
however, the college seethed with pa-
triotism which: took the form of early
morning group exercises and sings.
At 7.30 the students, said Lois K.
Jessop, ’20, paraded to Merion Green,
two by two, lustily chanting It’s a
Long Way to Tipperary and Keep the
Home Fires Burning. Forming them<
selves in serried ranks, they marnioev-
ered a sort of feminised drill under the
direction of a retired army officer.
A sidelight on post-war feeling (or
was it on current convention?) was
uncovered in 1919, when students
asked Miss Thomas if they might give
adance. Her-reply, as quoted by Mrs.
Jessop: ‘Absolutely — not. Who
knows what the young men may have
brought back from the trenches.’ ” The
result: in 1920 the dance was finally
given as a garden party—“because it
was considered more proper than
dancing indoors.” .
“The moderns,’ alumnae of the
’30’s, made no statements to the press.
Perhaps their attitude is epitomized
in the unofficial exclamation of Helen

Started Paper in 1914 “To Rival
The Harvard Crimson” -
Miss Isabel Foster, ’15, first editor.
and originator of the College News,
died on September thirteenth. After
leaving Bryn Mawr she attended the
Columbia school of journalism. Her
‘first- job was editor, business mana-
ger, copy editor and all other posi-
tions except type-setter on a small pa-
per in Berlin, New Hampshire. _From
this paper she went to the Waterbury
Republican, where she was night téle-
‘graph editor, later becoming feature
editor of the Christian Science Moni-
tor and then an editor of the Hart-
ford Courant.
Before the birth of the News, two
papers had flourished on the campus.
The Philistine (1895-1903) and later
the Tipyn o’bob (1903-1915). Both
were humorous magazines which in-
cluded the college calendar and‘ occa-
sional news articles. In the fall of
1914 Miss Foster went to Miss Thomas
and asked permission “to start a col-
lege newspaper which would rival the
Harvard Crimson.” Miss Thomas
gave her consent but added thatthe
paper could not live longer than a
month. The college, she insisted, was
so small that everyone knew every-
thing that was going on. But the
News prospered. '
.Miss Foster continued to work on
the Hartford Courant up until two
weeks before her death which was
caused by leukemia.
Cotton, ’37, as she walked into the
library last’ Thursday. night, “My
God, they all look as if they were
asleep.”
