RED  OVERIDES GREEN FIRST
IN FIRST GAME OF FINALS
Seniors Ahead in First Lap of Basket-
Bali Championship   -
Fighting for every point with dogged
persistence, 1921's first team crushed the
Sophomores in the first game of the finals
last Monday with the score of 25-13.
'Quicker and more accurate passing gave
the lead to the Red in the first rush before
1923 was fully aroused to the situation. A.
Clement's strong work at guard_ prevented
further scoring by the Seniors for awhile
�  and scrappy playing ensued. Two pretty
goals by R. Rice, '23, brought the score to
12-8 in favor of 1921 at the end of the
first half.
Vigorous work by E. Cecil, '21, combined
�  with clever evading of their opponents by

score at the opening of the second period.
E. Taylor, '21, at guard, aided her team
substantially, usually getting the ball after
the toss-up. Although the Green defense
was strong, its passing and shooting were
disappointing, and its teamwork went down

"ZORAIDA'S NECKLACE" HOLDS
AUDIENCE SPELL-BOUND
Gertrude Prokosch '24, and Walter
Prokosch Present Tense Drama
(By special correspondent.)
Opening its doors for the first time on
the Bryn Mawr campus, the puppet theatre,
of which Gertrude Prokosch, '24, and Wal-
ter Prokosch, are architects, scene painters,
costumers and playwrights, last Thursday
evening presented "Zoraida's Necklace," a
thrilling five-act" drama.- The audience
crowded to the very doors of O. � Pell's
room, and was tense and hushed until the
final curtain. The play was presented with-
out any previous rehearsal, and gave ample
evidence of the years of experience the
producers'have behind them.
Replete with dramatic moments, scene
after scene revealed some new complica-
tion to the gripping plot. The spectators
were obviously moved by the "King s
righteous cholera," and trembled as the
heads-mans deadly ax descended on the
villain's throafTGreat subtlety was shown
,in the opening scene, where Rene, after
Precipitately falling in love with the beau-
tiful beggar, girl of Baghdad, declares "you
shall, you must marry me," and Zoraida
tremblingly replies, "This is so sudden."
SEVENTY-FIVE  VOICE CHORUS
RENDERS VARIED PROGRAM
Mendelssohn Club Concert Help In
. Gymnasium Last Saturday      �
Mixed choruses of seventy-five voices in
from four to nine parts, and solos by Mr.
Charles' W. Stahl made up the concert
given" by the Mendelssohn Club of Phila-
delphia in the gymnasium last Saturday
night, ior the benefit of the'Music Com-,
mittee of the Undergraduate Association.
Under the leadership df Mr. N. Lindsay
Norden the Mendelssohn Club gave a sim-
ilar concert here last year.
Throughput the whole - program, which
varied widely, the singing was admirably
coordinated. Both in the lighter songs like
Spring, the Sweet Spring and the De'ls
awd wi' the Exciseman and in more seri-
ous numbers such as The Lord Said Unto
My Lord and The Lee Shore, the blend of
voices was unusually close, giving a unified
effect of the greatest beauty.
Although each number was- remarkable
in itself, Horatio Parker's Come Away,
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's Lee-Shore and
Then Shall the Righteous Shine, by Miss
Frances McCollin, were perhaps the most
brilliant    choruses,'  with    their    massive
imagination and taste were shown. Bro-
eades and feathers, Rene's gold sword-belt,
and the scarlet robe and tiny hat of the
cardinal were excellently done and reached
a truly professional level. Of the many
charming scenes the Court of Lyonnes was
perhaps the most splendid; the studio of
the Astrologer of Baghdad was remarkable
for its atmosphere and its effective color
scheme.

WOR8HIP  OF  TRUE GOD  CURE   FOR
PRESENT   EVILS SAYS  DR. MERRILL
"The Golden Calves of Today" were the
subject of the Rev. William Pierson Mer-
rill's talk in chapel  on  Sunday night.
War, bolshevism, industrial conditions,
amusements and recreations of doubtful
worth are all, according to Doctor Merrill,
the gollen calves or idols of today. "No
one can say 'I am guiltless.' There is
always something we might have done or
might havevavoided doing.' The leaders of
the movements we condemn are little more
to blame than the mass; like Aaron, they
have merely 'cast the gold of the people
into the fire and there came out this calf.'
Just as the punishment fell on the mass of
the people in the time of Aaron, so will it
fall on all who have sinned today. Where
evil conditions have affected the common
life all must bear the penalty. The Lord
is plaguing all nations for the golden calf
of Lenine and Trotsky."
"We must get back to the worship of the
true God," Doctor- Merrill said, "if we
would get the world out of the terrible
path it has gone in since the war. And
not content with breaking the calf, put our
resources and our hearts to building up
the tabernacle. The real sin was the tem-
per that forgot God.
author, who was present, rose and bowed.
An Eriskay-Love Lilt, a charming melwdy
beautifully harmonized, was encored with
enthusiasm.
Duna was the best of the selectionslteung
by Mr. Stahl, the soloist. His smooth,
sweet tenor, though unemotional, was ad-
mirably suited for the delicate melody. He
was loudly encored.
Though the concert was originally to be
held in the Cloisters, threatening weather
in the early part of the afternoon changed
the arrangements. There were few people
in the audience.

'fyA; Miss Carpenter defeated J. Palache,
'22, 6-1, 8-6, and Miss Wood defeated W.

Miss Thayer, who played first, is the
Philadelphia champion. Her game was
hard and driving, and although K. Gardner
gave her a good rally she kept the upper
hand. The second match was slow and
uneventful, but the third, between Mr*.
Knarl and B. Borden, was the closest, "both
players maintaining a steady even game.

through her swift playing, Miss Wood and
