‘Faculty Break Loose in Second Tanne
To- Defeat Varsity 2248 in Second Game
By Elizabeth Crozier, *41
With Dogfish Doyle on the firing
line again, the Faculty rode high
once more to take the second game
of the season from the Varsity,
22-18. The second ing alone
was almost enough to (¢linch the
ballgame. The boys really teed off,
sending 18 men to the plate to
bring home 13 runs on 12 hits, one
walk and five Varsity errors. In
all, the Faculty totaled 19 hits off
the combined. offerings of Alexan-
der and MacIntosh, while the Var-
sity nicked the Dogfish for 11 safe-
ties.
The Fasalty were behind, 9-3,
going into their half of the big
second inning. Norton, ’42, play-
ing for the Faculty, started the
rally with a walk. Bruiser Brough-
ton reached first on an error, and
Norton seored with the first run.

Merion Cricket Club
Defeats. Bryn Mawr
Tennis Varsity, 5-2
Bryn Mawr, Thursday, May 9—
The Merion Cricket Club Team de-
feated’ Bryn Mawr’s tennis Varsity
on the Bryn Mawr courts. with a
sweeping 5-2 score.
In the first singles, Christine
Waples, 42, outwitted Anne Page
in a tricky match ending 6-3, 6-4.
Even in spite of Miss Page’s driv-
ing serve the winner took up an
offensive stand from the first and
kept her opponent on the run
throughout: two sets of brilliant
tennis.
Barbara Auchincloss, ’40, bowed
to Helen Rice in straight sets, 6-4,
6-2. It was more of a psychologi-
cal battle than one of skill and
Auchincloss did not play up to her
usual ability. Edith Earle Lee
won the third singles from Meyer,
42, at 7-5, 6-2, but not without a
struggle for at the beginning Mey-
er was playing a powerful-game,
but Miss, Lee broke through in the
end with hard base-line ° shots.
Frances Matthai, ’43,
hard fight against Barbara Stro-
bar only to lose finally, 7-5, 2-6,
6-4. In this long match Miss Stro-
bar’s-: steadiness overcame Mat-
thai’s intensive play. —
Julia Fleet, ’43, successfully met!
Mrs. R. W. McCaskey; Scoring 7-5,
6-2. In the face of Mrs+ McCas-
key’s tricky lobbing, Fleet kept her
head and played her own type of
game.
Waples and Auchincloss lost to
Miss Page and Edith Earle Lee in
the first doubles, 6-3, -6-4. The
winners made a more experienced
and coordinated team. Meyer and
Matthai were also defeated in
doubles by Miss Strobar and Mrs.
McCaskey, 6-4, 6-2, the M. C. C.
team playing a steady, lobbing
game which upset their opponents.

Put up ai.
sent Broughton home, and Cope
himself scored a’ minute later on
Alfrayed Zirkle’s two-bagger. An-
other error put ‘Chester Miller on
first: safely. After that the base-
paths looked like the turnstiles in
a subway rush. The next eight
batters all hit safely, with the fire-
works highlighted by Not-so-Chunk
Nahm’s double and Zirkle’s triple.
Respite came for a moment when
Miller, up for his second time in
the inning, struck out. But. the
Dogfish and Not-so-Chunk contin-
ued the attack with a single apiece,
only to be left stranded when Miss
Jaeger was out on a slow roller |
to Alexander. And to polish it off,
the boys came back in the next
inning to score four more times.
The Varsity were through after
‘|that, but they had had two good
innings’ before the onslaught be-
gan. They scored four in the first
on two hits, a walk, and two er-
rors, and they batted ‘around in
the-second té account for-five more.
A q
Norton, Miss Jaeger, L. Clagett
had to play for the professors, be-
cause the Faculty as a whole were
not enough interested in the pro-
ceedings to put more than seven
men on the field.
Beauty-fates Cope led the Fac-
ulty attack with four hits out of
five times at bat. Doyle and Sloane
were next with three, out of five
and three out of six, respectively.
Waples and Gumbart paced the
Varsity with two out of four, and
two out of five, respectively.

Broughton’ made only one hit,
but got to first safely four other
times on errors.

Slammerboy Sloane was really
the tenth player for the Varsity.
He made five errors and let four
slow grounders~ go between-~-first
and second for Varsity hits. He
will have to do better than that if
he wants to stay in the League.

Alfrayed :Zirkle has made a
triple in every game he has played
for the-Faculty—this—year-—_and
last.

In ‘contrast to last week’s per-
formance, the Dogfish today chalk-
ed up only two strikeouts, both at
the expense of Mott. Alexander
struck out three men—Nahm, run-'
ning on a dropped third strike, was
safe at first.

Sister of Former Bryn Mawr
President Writes Story
Of Childhood
A Quaker Childhood
By Helen Thomas Flexner
Helen Thomas Flexner, author of
A.Quaker Childhood, is a sister of
the late M. Carey Thomas; and both
were members of the large family
of Dr. James Carey Thomas, Bal-
timore family physician and Quak-
er leader, and of his wife, Mary
'Whitall Thomas. In 1871, when
Helen was_born, it already con-
sisted of three boys and three
girls, and a fourth son, followed
soon after. Martha Carey was
years older than Helen, and was
soon to make her outrageous de-
rint
mand that she be allowed to study, |,
like a man, at Cornell.
Because of Carey’s frequent ab-|
sences from home, Helen remem-
bers her only -in glimpses. She
recalls Carey, the admired older
sister, telling her the splendid
myths of ancient Greece; Carey,
the intent student at Leipzig,
chastening conscientious Helen for
an over-scrupulous Quakerism;
and Carey, finally recognized by
the trustees of the newly-formed
Bryn Mawr College, winning the
position. of Dean and immediately
converting her entire family to the
exciting new scholastic life.
But there are two main themes
which concern Mrs. Flexner most;
other ‘material is incidental to
their development. Ofte is her
own éxperience as a sensitive and
rather neglected youngest daugh-
ter; the other is the part played
by her mother in the lives of all
who knew her. Mary Thomas was
Carey’s sole aid and abettor in her
Struggle for a university educa-
tion. Helen had to face many di-
lemmas, alone, except for the
knowledge of her mother’s under-
standing and sympathy. The tra-
ditional limits to women’s author-
ity, even within the home, and a
strong, profound Quaker convic-
tion both prevented Mrs. Thomas
from aiding her children as much
as she might have; but she met
both minor disturbances and major
conflicts, which threatened to de-
stroy the family structure, with
the same unfailing: calm and _ in-
pired comprehension.
Life in Mrs. Flexner’s childhood
was difficult, as it still is today,
but difficult in a more personal
fashion. Her picture of one fam-
ily’s problems and its work for
others, in the varied fields of re-
ligion, education and social wel-
fare, is rendered distinctive by her
honesty and her perception of what,
|Radnor Roasts Wienies in Exotic Comfort;
Three Full Dixie Cups Consumed Per Capita
_By Agnes Mason, 42
Radnor had a weinie roast last
Saturday night in their own smok-
ing room. It was a case of weather
raising its ugly head again, which
kept them from Saunder’s Barn.
Dressed in overalls for the great
outdoors they lay on the living
room floor and roasted their hot
dogs over the coal grate. “It was
exotic,” was the comment offered
by Ann Wight.
They had an enormous quantity
of food: Rumor has it that each
grad student ate the contents of
three Dixie Cups, and then pro-
ceeded to exchange the pictures of
the movie stars on the'lids. Wil-
liam Boyd was the favorite of the
Dixie Cup actors, but, actually,
there wasn’t a decent looking one
among them and the students
burned them ruthlessly in the fire.
As a matter of fact, the half is di-
vided between Errol Flynn and
Charles Boyer.
Lying happily outstretched on
the Radnor carpet, with eyes fixed
dreamily on their makeshift bon-
fire, the grads then sang negro
spirituals. The last advice called
after us as we left. this den of in-
tellect was, “Never try to roast‘an
apple, over-a-coal-fire.”’
