Granville-Barker
Interprets Skill
_ Of Shakespeare

Critic Explains Relationship
Of Elizabeth Stage
To Technique



Goodhart, November 23. Shakes-
peare’s skill in using the materials
of the Elizabethan stage, and the
art with which he interpreted the
moral and physical realms to his
audience were discussed by Harley
Granville-Barker last Tuesday. He
examined Shakespeare’s use of the
bare stage and the consequent em-
phasis on the actor and the poetic
language.

The bare Elizabethan stage dic-
tated the whole technique of Eliz-
abethan plays, said Mr. Granville-
Barker. He pointed out that it
gave the writer freedom for a
panoramic play, since it could take
in all action. The location in some
scenes could be left undetermined;
in ethers, a single observation was
sufficient to stamp the setting on
the audience’s mind. Shakespeare
was free in plays such as “A Mid-
summer Night’s Dream” and “The
Tempest” to suggest his atmos-
phere by vivid scene painting.

The Actor

In Elizabethan drama, Mr.
Granville-Barker stressed, the ac-
cent was laid wholly on the actor
and his acting. The fact that boys
played women’s roles in no meas-
ure affected Sharkespeare’s con-
ception of his feminine characters.
It affected the angle of presenta-
tion only, but had positive as well
as incidental advantages. The ro-
mance of the great love scene in
“Romeo and Juliet” is not in the
least impaired even though a boy
played Juliet.

Once he had created Shylock and
Falstaff, Shakespeare became ab-
sorbed in the portrayal of charac-
ter, first as involved in outward,
and then in inward, conflict. The
audience’s acceptance of soliloquy

Mysterious Origins
Of Disputed Statue
Solved by Carpenter



Common Room, November 18.
The statue of the Esquiline Venus
has baffled all attempts at proper
dating, said Mr. Rhys Carpenter,
at a meeting of the Philadelphia
Society of the Archaeological In-
stitute. Explaining the mystery
of the “Amazing Venus,” Mr. Car-
penter pointed out that an archaic
head of the fifth century was im-
posed on a copy of an Hellenic
Venus,

The statue, found on the Esqui-
line Hill in Rome, is a female
nude, a Roman copy of a Greek
original, in the formal style of the
fifth century, B. C. This. state-
ment, however, is_ self-contradic-
tory, Mr. Carpenter said, for in
this period there was a rigid ta-
boo against the depiction of the
female nude.

Statue Examined

Examination of the head of the
statue leads one to date the statue
at about 420 B. C. But at this
time the Greek sculptor neglected
female anatomical detail complete-
ly, placing all emphasis on drap-
ery.

The taboo on the depiction of
nudes was first relaxed_in_paint-
ing, said Mr. Carpenter, where
the figures lacked the authority
and dignity of marble or bronze.
In introducing the first sculpture
resulting from this trend, the ar-
tist originally produced female
nudes only when he had a justifi-
cation.

Among the first complete nudes
is the Cyrene Venus. A Roman
copy, it reflects an early Hellen-
istic prototype of the late third
century, when the public had been
gradually educated to the appre-
ciation of the art of the nude for
its own sake. In relation to this,
Mr. Carpenter péinted out that the
original of the Esquiline Venus
which is of the same period as the
Cyrene one, would seem to be
placed at approximately 150 years
later than it had been originally
dated.

Denbigh W abbits and Pembroke Hot Shots

Tie After Clash in Terrific Hockey Match



By Darst Hyatt, °47

Denbigh Wabbits “with super
hockey habits’ and Pembroke
“hockey hot shots” fought fur-
iously last Sunday afternoon for
the hall championship to the ac-
companiment of frenzied rooting
by their respective cheering sec-
tions.- 5 : :

Gaping Denbigh hung out of
their windows to stare at the res-
plendent citizens of Pembroke “all
dressed up on Sunday afternoon.”
Pembroke’s ideas as to suitable at-
tire for a hockey game ranged all
the way from Lucia Hedge’s pa-
jamas to Bobby Rebmann’s__ gaily
flowered, strictly abbreviated, and
glove-tight shorts.

The Wabbits, more soberly clad
in dark blue sweaters and dunga-
rees, paraded down to the field
lustily cheering “the girls who
make the beer in the cellars of old
Denbigh Hall.” Pembroke popped
out from behind the bushes, march-
ed around the field, singing “Death,
Oh Death, This Is Thy Sting.”

After much repartee on the side
lines, the most bitterly_ contested
hockey match of the’ Season com-
menced with a goal for the Wab-
bits. Defending the Denbigh* goal
against the furious sallies of Pem-
broke’s star center forward, Reb-



mann, Captain Scribner played
center half. “The grand old women
of hockey,” Pistol St. Lawrence,
Mary Sue Chadwick, and Ginny
Belle Reed, overcame their anti-
pathy for physical exertion and
fought for the honor of dear old
Denbigh side by side with such
veterans as Marge Richardson,
Trudy MacIntosh, and Jane Hall.

Pembroke’s eleven, composed
mainly of Freshmen and boasting
an all-fullback forward line, af-
forded fierce competition with
Miss Pleasonton, Nancy Bierwith,
and Rose Bateson holding off the
Denbigh juggernaut of varsity
players.

Each minute the game waxed
more and more desperate and with
the score a 2-2 tie, the players all
but used their hockey sticks as
weapons. Shins and heads were
bashed quite as often as the ball.

The fourth quarter ending in a
draw, a five minute play-off was
agreed upon. In spite of Hercu-
lean efforts on the part of both
the dark blue and the pink-and-
green-and-red-and purple, the tie-
breaking goal was not scored, and
both halls staggered off to Pem-
broke for tea where their rivalry
was forgotten in a song fest of
Christmas carols.

Alliance to Sponsor
Newspaper Lectures

Given by Professors

A four-day course, entitled “A
Study of the Press”, will be giv-
en, starting Monday, November
29 by Miss Robbins, Mr. Miller,
Mrs. Cameron and Mrs. Anderson.
Sponsored by the Alliance, the lec-
tures will be held in the Periodical
Room of the Library from four to
six. .The course is open to every-
one, with no distinctions as to class
or major subject.

Mr. Miller, Professor of Amer-
ican History, is to present the first
lecture of the series, dealing with
the subject of the American press.
A background to the other lec-
tures, it will cover the relation of
the press. to political parties, the
connection between advertising
and newspaper policy and between
radio and the press.

The second lecture, “The Ap-
proach to the Financial Pages of
the Newspaper,” will be given by
Mrs. Anderson, Professor of Econ-
omics. It will consist of critical
analysis of what these pages con-
tain and their relation to the news
section. A survey of the econ-
omic background of the subject
will be included.

Mrs. Cameron, Professor of
History, will give an “exhaustive
analysis” of American periodicals

M. Lehr Will Indicate
Application of Math
To Photogrammetry

Miss Marguerite Lehr, Associate
Professor of Mathematics, will
speak on “Mathematics in Map-
making,” on Wednesday night,
December 1, at 8:00 p. m. in Dal-
ton Hall. This is the first of six
lectures presented by the Science
Club on the postion of the sciences
in the war.

’Miss Lehr will discuss the three
types of map problems that utilize
mathematics theory, namely, local
maps and topographic maps and
how to make computations from
them, Since the beginning of the
war, the layman in mathematics
has come more into contact with
the various types of maps through
newspapers and magazines; Miss
Lehr intends to point out that the
layman can understand map theory
without advanced mathematics.

Teaching the Mathematics of
Map Projection in the. Photogram-
metry course given here, Miss
Lehr has had actual connections
with map theory. The Photogram-
metry course was first given in



|the-summer_of-1942 by Mr. Wat-

son, continuing through last year
and this summer. °

Miss Lehr received her A. B. at
Goucher College in 1919, and her
Ph. D. at Bryn Mawr in 1925. A
President’s European Fellow and
a Fellow in Mathematics in 1921,
she was a member of the Ameri-
can Association of University Fel-
lows and Students in 1923 at the
University of Rome. -She came to
Bryn Mawr in 1924 as an Instruct-
or in Mathematics. and has been
the Associate Professor since
1937.

Make China Full Ally
To Gain Mutual Goal
Walter H. Judd Asks

Bellevué-Stratford, November 20.
“A slave China is an _ unbeatable
competitor, but a free China is
potentially the world’s greatest
market,” said the Honorable Wal-
ter H. Judd, Congressman from
Minnesota, in an address. on
“American-Chinese Friendship” at
the United Nations Couneil lunch-
eon.

Not only military but political
help and reassurance must go to
China now. The Chinese Exclu-
sion Act must be repealed, the
Chinese put on a quota basis and
given naturalization rights just as
other immigrants are. Such a move
would bolster China’s morale, and
make not only China but all of
Asia more friendly, Dr. Judd _ ex-
plained. The ultimate result
would be of great advantage to us,
as well as to the establishment of
a world peace, for China can be to
us what our own West was, a “de-
pression-absorber.”

Enumerating four ways to gain
security, Dr. Judd eliminated the
methods of escapist isolationism,
world conquest, or attempts at
“buying” the world, as physically
impossible, and pointed out the al-
ternative of joining the world as
equals striving for common goals.

Will, Stress Value of Study
Of Mental Breakdown
During War.



Donald W. MacKinnon, Profes-
sor of Psychology and an outstand-
ing authority in his field, will
speak on “War, Sanity, and Soci-
ety” at the third War Alliance as-
sembly to be held on Wednesday,
December 1, at 12:30. His lecture
will concern future application of
psychological knowledge gained
from the study of mental break-
down in civilian and military pop-
ulations.

Mr. MacKinnon has worked ex-
tensively on the problem of per-
sonality in war. In 1940, he was
asked to serve as a member of the
Conference on Psychological Meth-
ods for Personality Selection to
make: a_ preliminary
methods for detecting favorable
and unfavorable personality traits
with respect to military service.
This conference was called by a
subcommittee on neurotic behavior
of the National Research Council
and made its findings available to
those responsible for the person-
nel selection of the armed forces.

Writings

As a member of a subcommittee
of the Council, he assisted in the
preparation of a book which would
make available to men in the arm-
ed forces the facts of psychology
that would be of vital importance
to them in their military service.
Mr. MacKinnon’s chapter in the
book, Psychology for the Fighting
Man, published this year by the
Infantry Journal, has been includ-
ed in the more advanced edition
that is now being compiled as a
textbook to be used in military
schools and colleges.

A specialist in problems of per-
sonality development in psycho-
pathology, Mr. MacKinnon has
worked in collaboration with mem-
bers of the Harvard Psychology
Clinic upon several occasions. He
has contributed a section to a book
by this group of distinguished
psychologists, Explorations in Per-
sonality, and a chapter on the
structure of personality to the two-
volume handbook, Personality and
Behavior Disorders, which is being
published this month by the Ron-
ald Press.

Nusbaum, Director of “Letters to Lucerne”,
Writes Play Slated for Broadway Opening



By Joy Rutland, *46

Winner of three dramatic
awards and author of a play
scheduled to appear on Broadway
this fall, Richard Nusbaum comes
to Bryn Mawr for the third time
to direct “Letters to Lucerne.”

Mr. Nusbaum is at present con-
nected with the American Theatre
Wing as director of production.
Known both as director and play-
wright, his productions number
over- 150, and several of his own
plays have won distinction in the
dramatic world.

Among his own works, “Parting
at Imsdorf” has won three awards,
including the Maxwell Anderson
award for verse drama. The Lunts
have taken an option on his “Sec-
ond Best Bed”, and “Indian Sign”
is now being cast for production in
New “cfc "He was among the
authors represented in Dodd
Mead’s “Best Plays of 1940.”



In addition to actual theatre
work, Mr. Nusbaum organized the
first professional television show
in America.: Since the beginning
of his career in the theatre, he has
been connected with nearly every
branch of the drama. His work
with Haverford extends beyond
the direction of many productions
there for he has taken a personal
interest in the players who dem-
onstrated special ability.

The production of “Letters to
Lucerne” which the Player’s Club
will present early in December
represents Mr. Nusbaum’s fourth
year as director at Bryn Mawr.
Other plays under his direction,
which have been joint productions
with Haverford are “Hay Fever,”
“Margin for- Error” and “Hotel
Universe.” Those who have work-
ed under him have remarked on
Mr. _Nusbaum’s psychological
handling of the actors.

Psychology as a Science

A reconsideration of the value of psychology as a ful-
fillment of the science requirement is becoming increasingly
necessary. Recognition of the scientific validity of this sub-
ject is taking place everywhere today as a result of the great
advances which have been made in this-comparatively recent
branch of human knowledge. The addition of psychology to
the recognized sciences at Bryn Mawr would constitute a
progressive action by the college.

At present, to fill the unit of science required for an
A. B., an undergraduate must choose from chemistry, phys-
ics, biology and geology. Psychology should be added to this
group. The main purpose of a science requirement is to ac-
quaint the student with the scientific method, with scientific
‘experimentation. In the psychology laboratory it is possible
to study specific problems in a controlled experimental man-
ner. The scientific method is followed in careful observation,
recording of results, formation of working hypothesis and
‘verification of the factors. The omission of psychology from
the group of sciences acceptable for the requirement seems
arbitrary and artificial in view of the fact. that psychology is
classed with the other sciences in the graduate school, but is
not in the undergraduate curriculum. —

In order for psychology to fill the specifications of a re-
quired science it would be necessary to add two more hours
of laboratory. work to that of the present first year course.
This would be quite possible as there is much psychological
experimentation adapted ‘to first year work but it would ne-
cessitate increasing the department’s laboratory space to ac-
commodate the larger classes. These changes are minor in
comparison to the benefit to be derived from the revision.

Many students who wish to take the introductory psy-
chology course are prevented from doing so because they
cannot add another laboratory course to an already heavy
schedule. This results in large numbers missing a valuable
addition to their knowledge of human behavior in prepara-
tion for later life. ‘
~~ Ft-is-inevitable that in the course of time psychology
should be accepted on the plane of true science here as it al-
ready is in many other colleges and universities. The advan-
tages to the college in the enrichment of the courses offered

DISSERTATION ON ODYSSEUS
AND A BEAR OR
The True Master Pattern behind
Hansel and: Gretel (with apolo-
gies to all those who aren’t tak-
ing Greek Lit and especially to
Dr. Carpenter who is).

There is a master pattern lurk-
ing behind every bush dragging its
fairy tales behind it. You may
think that Goldilocks was just a
blonde moll what got lost in the
woods, but she wasn’t—aha! The
bear story is almost as old as the
wolf one and you’ve got to keep
your eye on these beast fables.

Odysseus was the son of a bear,
any fool can see that. All bear
sons are sons of bears, and the
Thracians in 650 B. C. tell us that
all bears are half human and
therefore all bears are bear-sons
too, and how is your cub today?
Achilles was a heel but the odio-
syncrasies of Ilysseus were man-
ifold and he was a bear-son too.
His father’ named him Odious
(which is a very strong word) and
the Thracians--called—-him—- Otis
(which means shaggy ears) and
Polyphemus decided it was really
Outis (which means just plain no-
body) and this was a great class-



for science requirements warrants the adoption of this broad-
ened program.

WAR ALLIANCE



The Bryn Mawr drive for the
United War Chest begins Novem-
ber 29 and will continue until De-
-cember 15. The committee, direct-
ed by Edith Rhoads, ’44, hopes for
a contribution comparable to last
year’s, in which Bryn Mawr topped
all other colleges.

Including the Red Cross con-
tribution this year, the United
War Chest aids fourteen United
Nations Relief organizations and
* twenty U.S.O. and associated
wartime agencies. On the home
‘front the organization serves ail
the agencies of the United Char-|

’ @



ities. It cares for needy children,
the aged and the infirm in the:
Philadelphia community and pro-)
vides hospital and medical care
for the sick. As a part of the
United Nations Relief Federation,
it provides for War Prisoners’ Aid
and refugee relief.

. In the campus drive, the faculty
committee will be headed by Mr.
Nahm, the graduate students’ by
Barbara Baer, the non-residents
by Lucretia Duncan. Miss Terrien
is in change of the library com-
mittee, and Miss Howe that of the
groundsmen, maids and porters.

Presentation of ‘The Patriots’
Shows Fine Interpretation
And Acting

By Thelma Baldassarre, °47

There is always a certain fascin-
ation in plays depicting hallowed
historical figures as _ flesh-and-
blood. When the play has as
much intrinsic merit as “The Pat-
riots,” tribute arises not only
from interest in the subject but
from admiration for the interpre-
tation .of author and actors as
well.

Walter Hampden, the famous
tragedian, takes the role of Thom-
as Jefferson in this picture of the
trying days of the raw, new re-
public. Mr. Hampden’s Jefferson
is not the brillaint young idealist,
but the tired, unselfish statesman.
Weary and philosophic, he attempts
in vain to slip the yoke of public
service from his shoulders, but in
the end accepts, out of pure nobil-

ity-ofspirit, his. heaviest_ burden, | —___.

the Presidency of a troubled land.
Mr. Hampden’s fine handling of a
difficult portrayal gives us a thor-



didn’t because they weren’t bears
like Odysseus was. This is just
another example of a good master
pattern coming to the aid of an
adopted environment—never put a
woods in the middle of the Med-
iterranean, and it’s dangerous for
children to climb trees.

Here we-go round the master
pattern,+the paster mattern, the
pater noster so early in Greek his-
tory: Goldilocks was really a bear
and Odysseus was the other three,
a sort of mass action ambush, if
you see what we mean. We three
bears from Greece are we, bearing
tales of traverse afar, Odysseus,

oughly credible Jefferson, at once
a likeable man and a hero.

Guy Sorel, as Alexander Hamil-

_| ton, plays his tempestuous lines to

the hilt. Hamilton’s fiery, warped
patriotism is memorably painted.
An aging but able Washington is
sympathetically drawn by Cecil
Humphries, while Julie Haydon
gives a charming performance as
Patsy Jefferson. The much - pub-
licized Sonya Stokowski played
too small a part as Hamilton:4
wife to permit judgment of her
abilities. All the bit players were
excellent, especially Mrs. Conrad
and the men at the smithy. —

The plot itself was the history,
not romanticized beyond recogni-
tion, of the period from the end
of Washington’s administration to
the beginning of Jefferson’s. The .
author has wisely sacrificed some-
thing of historical accuracy to
avoid cluttering the plot with un-
important data. An_ inspiring
drama has thus been achieved.

Joint IRC Discusses
Argentina and Peru



Government _House, Haverford,

‘Nov. 17. War-time conditions in

Latin America were the subject of
the- discussion- at--a- joint meeting
of ‘the Rosemont, Haverford, and
Bryn Mawr International Rela-
tions Clubs. The principle speak-

ers were Marlise Gildemeister of

the Haverford Relief and Recon-
struction Unit, whe discussed the
economic and political situation in
Peru, and Barrie Zimmelman, ’46,

President of the Bryn Mawr I. R.

C., who talked on Argentina.

On the political front, the situ-
ation in Peru is now quiet, Miss
Gildemeister. said. The President



was elected on an amazingly dem-
ocratic basis just after the war be-
gan; his term ends in 1945. “We
must remember,” she said, “that
South America is not really ripe
for democratic government, and
probably won’t be for years to
come.”

Peru’s contributions to the war
are limited to stopping espionage,
deportation of Japanese, granting
air bases to the United States,
and allowing oil and rubber ‘reg-
ions to be developed more exten-
sively by Americans. Peru is ben-
efitting from this American invest-
ment, Miss Gildemeister pointed

made possible the dramas of in-
ternal, eonflict. Mr. Granville-
Barker explained that Shakes-
peare’s progression from the trag-
edies of circumstance to the trage-
dies-of character was marked in
hig use of soliloquy, which was no
longer a method of explaining ac-
tion but the revelation of a char-
acter’s dilemma. Mr. Granville-
Barker traced the growth of dra-
mas of “inner struggle’ from
Shakespeare’s ffirst significant
choice of Brutus for hero in “Julius
Caesar.” All the other tragedies,
he said, follow this pattern of
struggle and defeat in action. In
“King Lear” it is the relation of
each character to the “unseen
forces” that is supremely im-
portant. “Macbeth,” although a
play of action has none of the
murders committed on stage and
is preeminently concerned with
the spiritual tragedy of Macbeth
and his wife.

Since action was limited, the ac-
tor’s main medium was_ speech.
Shakespeare arrived at blank verse
after experiment, said Mr. Gran-
ville-Barker. This form allowed
the flowing, conversational tone,
best seen in ‘Henry IV”, as well
as the dynamic force of ordinary
speech. In his, metaphysical dra-
mas, Shakespeare found it inade-
quate to describe the inward con-
flicts, and many of the speeches in
these plays have a _ spontaneous
rhythmic power which is near
prose in effect.

What with mid-semesters and
Thanksgiving in the wind, war
work on campus has taken some-
what of a back seat in the past
few weeks. Georgie Wiebenson,
however, is still telling the story
of her war work at the Thomas M.
Royal Paper Bag Factory, two
blocks from the Bryn Mawr sta-
tion.

Georgie seems to be just a little
vague about the actual workings

-of the factory—except that it

makes paper bags—but she has a
great deal to tell about her exper-
jences as a paper worker. Georgie’s
first job, as she explains it, was to
put bags in boxes afid “string a
goohink around the thing.”
Eventually she ended by work-
ing at a “machine” with a girl
named Mary. She and Mary sat
at a table taking finished bags out
of the machine and packing them
in bundles. The only trouble was
that the machine kept breaking
and the man who was supposed to
fix the machine kept talking to
Mary instead of fixing it. Georgie
said, though, that she came back
from her first afternoon at the
factory tired but very pleased. She
had been accepted immediately by
all the other workers and was even
offered a date “at the Greeks some
night” by one of the men.
Another off-campus war job
which requires great stamina is
working at the Bryn Mawr Hospi-

tal cafeteria. Those volunteers
who go to serve breakfast at the
hospital cafeteria leave college at

5:30 A. M., just as the last burn-
ers of midnight oil stagger into
bed. Another group, equally pa-
triotic if less spectacular, goes up
to’ the hospital to fix and serve
trays from four to seven in the
afternoon.

On campus one small group of
hardy souls has been busy raking
leaves. Their greatest problems,
they claim, have -been ~ violent
winds, kibitzing army lieutenants,
and those gay souls who think
piles of leaves have been made to
jump in. The most constant group
of workers on campus, however,
have been the Rock waitresses.
After all, the Rock girls explain,
come peace or war, fish or toma-
toes, one has to eat.

as the third lecture, dealing with
magazines such as “Time”,
tion”, and “P. M.”. She will trace
the relations of these magazines
in terms of political background
and political backing of their re-
spective editors.

The last lecture, a demonstra-
tion of how to read a newspaper,
will be given by Miss Robbins,
Professor of History.“ The pur-
pose is to teach the uninitiated
how to get what they want out of
a paper.

Registration for the course will
begin immediately. Students sign-
ing up: should write their name,
class and major on the registration
blank posted on the Alliance bul-
letin board, above the water cool-
er in Taylor Hall. Owing to lack
of space only twenty-five students
can be admitted, and those signing
first will be chosen. All four lec-
tures must be attended by anyone
who registers. If there is sufficient
demand the course may be repeat-
ed in the Spring.

Mystery of Statue bn
Solved by Carpenter
Continued from Page 1
By point for point comparison
with the Cyrene Venus, Mr. Car-
penter said that the
Venus from the feet to the waist

Esquiline

is shown to be a copy of a purely
Hellenistic Venus but while the
head and torso of the Cyrene, also

Hellenistic, are those of an adult
female, the Esquiline is sadly out

of proportion from the waist up.
The conclusion drawn by Mr. Car-

penter.in this case is that the
sculptor has copied the body of an
Hellenistic Venus as far as the
waist in the Esquiline, and for the
rest copied a Boy’s Victor Statue
of the fifth century. This is borne
out by further examination of the
head which greatly resembles «that
of a young boy.

Make China Full Ally
Walter H. Judd Asks

Continued from Page 1

China now has the experience of
six years of war behind her, and
in a more immediate consideration
of our policies and strategies, Dr.
Judd emphasized the fact that “we
cannot hold the Pacific alone.” The
only thing that could cause China
to waver now is the loss of her be-
lief that victory will bring her
real freedom and influence in the
world. Roosevelt promised “im-
mediate aid” to China in 1941, aid
for which she waited 32 months.
Churchill has frankly asked Chiang
Kai-Shek to wait until the end of
the European conflict for “rescue.”

Kaltenthaler Makes
Intercollegiate Subs

Bryn Mawr, November 21. Bryn
Mawr, one of ten colleges to com-
pete in the intercollegiate hockey
conference Saturday, placed one
player on the substitute team,
Betsy Kaltenthaler, ’47. Four play-
ers from both Penn and Ursinus
found berths on the intercollegiate
first team and the preponderance
of places on the second team fell
to Beaver.

During the morning, each of the
ten colleges played three matches,
the Owls pitting their skill against
Wilson College, Swarthmore, and
Temple. Bryn Mawr tied both
Wilson and Temple but dealt a
definite 2-0 defeat to Swarthmore.
That game showed the Owls work-
ing together especially well. on the
offensive. Two very expertly-made
goals were shot, the first by Tru-
die MacIntosh on a pass by Lydia
Gifford and the second by Lydia
who received the ball from Mar-
jorie Richardson.

Teams composed of the various
players from the ten colleges,
Penn, Temple, Drexel, Swarth-
more, Beaver, Ursinus, Rosemont,
Wilson, Chestnut Hill and Bryn
Mawr, were finally chosen, and in
the afternoon an exhibition of
some fine individual hockey play-

ing followed. But with the vari-
ous college teams broken up there
was an absence of the fine team
play which makes elevens like
Ursinus’ and Temple’s so effective
against their opponents.

After a great deal of changing
of positions and attempts to find
the best of the more than one hun-
dred players, the first and second
teams and substitutes were chos-
en.

Argentina Plan

Continued from Page 3

In discussing the political situa-
tion of Argentina, Barrie Zimmel-
man said that in the June Revolt-
tion, precipitated by army discon-
tent demanding a change in the
cabinet, “a Nazi army was found
fighting for democracy against a
fascist governor supported by a
democratic minister.” The United
States, which bases its help to Lat-
in American countries on their par-
ticipation in the war effort, refus-
ed all aid to the new government.

Argentina has little to gain by
becoming a belligerent and lacks
an adequate Navy to defend her
long coastline... Argentina’s rela-
tions with the United States would
be vastly improved, Barrie said,
if the United States would consent
to import. her. beef.
