RIVERTON AND VARSITY PLAY
TO TIE IN MEDIOCRE GAME
Varsity Breaks Through Opponents'
MM After Messy Scrimmage
Disorganized scrappy playing on a some-
what slippery field resulted in a 4-4 tie be-
tween Riverton and Varsity last Satur-
day. Though Riverton held the lead through-
out the first half, neither team exhibited
' speed or headwork and at the end they
were deadlocked.
At right wjng Miss MacMahon proved
the swiftest of her team, dribbling the
length of the field with one hand on her
stick, and passing to the center for the first
gOal of the game. This play was repeated
and a second goal made by Miss Mac-
Mahon herself. Varsity, rushed off its feet
at first, gradually got its bearings, and
clever clearing by E. Anderson at right
wing and a pass to D. Lee at center earned
Varsity's first goal, bringing the score to
2-1 in Riverton's favor at the end of the
half. F. Begg and V. Brokaw on the left
were rather weak and frequently shot into
the opposing fulls.
A continual hammering at Varsity's goal,
in which G. Rhoads ma"de some quick saves,
gave Riverton another tally at the start of
the second half. On one of these E. Ander-
son once more sped, down the field, but the
forward line failing to follow in, the ball
was lost to the visitors who again made it
good. A period of open scrapping all over
the field followed in which there was fruit-
less lunging and poor hitting.. A. Nicoll,
changed to left inside, combined with F.
Begg for a Varsity goal. H. Rice, at full-
back, frequently extricating the ball from
Riverton's attack, dribbled ajmost up to the
twenty-five-yard line and shot the ball to
A. Nicoll who pushed it in. Varsity often
played out of position, but in a corner at
the end F. Begg shot in the goal that tied
the score.

MAETERLINCK   AND   SHAW   PLAYS   SKILLFULLY   PRESENTED
Sophomores Scores Success in "Interior" and "Androcles
and the Lion/' Given for Freshman Class
FINANCE  DRIVE  REACHES THREE
THOUSAND   MARK
The approximate returns of the Chris-
tian Association finance drive carried on
from Wednesday to Friday of last week
is $3032. This is less than ihe final total
will be, as several pledges, notably the non-
resident students', are not yet in.
The totals for the various halls are about
as follows: Radnor, $329; Denbigh, $517.50;
Merion, $332.50; Pembroke-East, $748;
Pembroke-West, $705; Rockefeller, $381.
The total amount raised for the foreign
students' relief is now about $1024, though
it is hoped that more will come in.
Specially  Contributed by
Tragedy with a cynical touch in the last
line; and satire with a few patches of
morality in it offer as sharp a contrast as
can well be imagined, and obviously that
is what ,the Sophomore Play Committee
wanted when they chose Maeterlinck's "In-
terior" and Shaw's "Androcles and the
Lion" as the plays to be given to 1925.
The Sophomoric wagon was clearly hitched
to the proverbial star fn choosing the first
play. A scene without action in which all
the interest comes from a recited ^tory and
from watching the faces of four silent
characters presents a colossal task to actors
with few stage' and scenery facilities, who
have to produce illusions of age and sex,
as well as the illustion of the story. On
the whole they made an excellent effort.
The old man never lost the feeling of his
part and his intensity got the play across
far better than might have been expected.
The setting was excellent and the charm of
the famiiy of the interior, helped the old
gentleman to a great degree. The costumes
were extremely pretty, the fact that they
did not belong to a special period adding to
their effect. Walking for the old seemed
to have been more than usually halting,
but there may have been gout; who knows?
Of the other characters, Mary was par-
ticularly good in her trembling fear and
the others were adequate. The play is an
exceedingly difficult one for college per-
formers, but the results really seemed to
repay the work the cast had put in it, and
the audience really enjoyed it.
"Androcles" was a howling success, and
all the Vestal Virgins would have clapped
Miss Dorothy Shiply, '17
for more had they been there.    1924 de-
serves the credit of having made it un-
usually perfect for a college performance.
The Lion's behavior was all that Androcles
insisted   it must   be.    His  noble   roar  and
his  expression  were inimitable.    His  last
wink   took  the   whole  audience   into  his
confidence and betrayed hini for what he
was�a   very  subtle  beast  and   a joyous.
Androcles' beard sat well on him, and his
poetic  language  exactly  suited  his  ideas.
His   shrew   was   scarcely   tamed   and   his
happy escape  was saddened  for  iliost of
us by thoughts of terrible after life.  After
all�was life wdrth it?   Lavinia was quite
sufficient to pierce the handsome captain's
heart,  though   one  did   wish   that   Shaw
hadn't made  her moralize  so much.    The
Captain  was one of the best done char-
acters, and his very gorgeousness was melt-
ing to the audieme.   Caesar was-beautiful
but   ineffectual   with  the   Lion,   and   less
stately  than   his   subordinate   officer.     His
costume   was   excellent.    The   lion-maned
Ferrovious should   also be  mentioned   for
his   excellent   heroic-comic   representation
of   a   difficult    part.      The    rest    of    the
scenery and costumes weTe done with ac-
curacy, taste and ingenuity�the beggar in-
deed was almost too realistic.   Let us hope
then, that when the Romafl* matrons packed
their children  off to the matinee that  the
little Romans sow something even half as
delightful as "Androcles and the Lion"�
even if they didn't, maybe they found some-
thing like it in the sweet bye and bye.
The casts were:  "

Retired British Officers

nesday. The wife of the British consul

"�  Latin-American Coming Here

sor of international law and political
science at the University of San Mar-
cos, Lima, Peru, is to lecture here
under the auspices of the Spanish Club
on December 17- His subject will
probably be "Economic Conditions in
South America," according to C.

Club, who further added that the lec-
ture will be in English.
It is held by members of the Spanish

Senior Banner Hung on Gym
Victorious in the second game of the
first-team   hockey   finals,   the   Seniors
"hung   their   dark   blue  banner   on  the
gymnasium   yesterday   afternoon,   for
the first time in their College career.
Close scrapping on the slippery field
left the score 0-0 when the whistle blew
at the end of the first half. M. Tyler,
who consistently did good work for
the Dark Blue, broke the dead-lock
with a clean goal shot from the circle's
edge. Rushing the "ball through the
massed defense P. Smith shot the final
goal of the game.
Arriving in Bryn Mawr at noon, the vis-
itors were met by Mrs. Alys Russell and
several wardens who escorted them over
the campus. Mrs. McCudden and her
daughter found the gymnasium especially
interesting, said one of the hostesses. After
lunching in Pembroke, where the students
cheered the British delegation and sang
several Varsity songs for them, the party
was met by President Thomas and taken
to plant a tree on the campus near the
joining of Pembroke and Rockefeller Halls.
"May this tree flourish and may it increase'
the friendly relations between our two
countries," said Mrs. McCudden after
shovelling a little earth around the roots.
President Thomas thanked Mrs. McCudden
for planting the tree, and requested that
the students sing "Thou Gracious Inspira-.
tion"  to close  the  ceremony.
Wears Four Service Stare

"Mrs. McCudden was very simple and
direct," said one of her Bryn Mawr host-
esses, "and spoke quite naturally of the
three sons and the husband she lost in the
war, in whose memory she wears a four-
starred brooch." Mr. McCudden while not
in active service worked under the British
Government during the war and while trav-
elling from work in the railway carriage
he was pushed to the door, and finally
crowded out and thrown under the wheels.
After leaving Brjfa Mawr the British
party was taken to see the English hockey
team play.
"I am sorry they beat Bryn Mawr," said
Mrs. McCudden, "but I hope we will see
them win today."
"I like America very much," Mrs. Mc-
Cudden said to. a News reporter, "and I
would like to stop here if ft weren't that
I have another son and daughter in Eng-
land. I expect to go back in another week
or two. Our trip was to take about a
month from the time we left home." At
lunch Mrs. McCudden was delighted with
