All-Ireland Sweeps to Victory Over
Bryn Mawr Varsity by Over-
whelming Score
KEENING   HEARD   ON    CAMPUS
A small, bewildered. Irishman with -his.
bit of green tied round his stove pipe hat
was the mascot of the Irish, leading them
to an 8-0 defeat of Varsity, Saturday
morning, November 7, in a fast, if one-
sided game.
Playing more in the �Id formation with
the fullbacks seldom encroaching beyond
the center line, the good stick work, hard
hitting, swift running, and superior en-
durance of tfte Irish team soon succeeded
in wresting a decisive victory from Var-
sity, despite the valiant efforts of the
backs. Strongest on the defensive, the
Varsity forwards were so closely and.
forcefully guarded that their offensive was
considerably weaker than their guarding
play. The Irish were older and had ob-
viously had more experience. In contrast
to their hard decisive hitting on every pass,
the Varsity backs seemed -to play more
of a dribbling game, .culminating in short-
er passes than the long half-the-field-ahead
shots of the Irish.
Bryn *Mawr got the ball in the first
quick, tense bully of the game, and W.
podd, '26, with beautiful stickwork and
speed, flew down the wing only to b�
stopped by the whole weight of the oppos-
ing Irish back in a strong lunge For the
first fifteen minutes Varsity held tht
Islanders to no score, but they soon broke
through and, with swift, hard passes, rush-
ed the ball to goal several times. The
Brown backs played far ahead of them-
selves, but were powerless against the
Irish rush; W. Dodd's continued excel-
lence was unsuccessful in pushing a goal
through.
Starting the second half with renewed
vigor, Varsity kept the Irish from scor-
ing until the last 15 minutes. B. Loines,
*28, was the hero of the half in two spec-
tacular runs from centre field, completely
eluding backs and halves, but she was
stopped at the goal. The Irish centre
half, playing all over the field, was mar-
velous in her speed and dexterity, and
intercepted many passes from D. Lee,
'86, to R. Wills, '29.
In a beautiful run and dribble Miss Dil-
worth, right wing, tore down the field and
shot a quick goal. Using their heads
quickly, the Irish backs would pass
straight across the field to an unguarded
forward on the opposite side. In the last
10 minutes two more goals were made
and the day ended 8-0.
The lineup was:

Bromhed****, Miss Fudger*. Miss D. Mc-

LABOUR MOVEMENT PERFECTS
MECHANISM OF DEMOCRACY
Workmen to be Citizens in Industry,
Says Rennie Smith, Labor M. P.
"Small as members go, the English labor
movement has momentous consequences,"
said Rennie Smith, a member of Parliament
for the Labor party, a delegate of the In-
ternational Printer's Union, and a member of
the   Workman's   Educational   Association
"Like so many other institutions and
aspects of British life, the Labor movement
is fundamentally old. But in its relations
with the modern industrial situation, its
development is the matter of only a century.
"It has endeavored first of all to work out
the idea of political democracy. The Parlia-
ment of today is much more representative
than that of a century ago. Thirty years
ago, Baldwin, asking Parliament what to
do with the nation's mines, would have
heard only from directors and royalty
owners Today he would learn not only
their point of view, but that of the men who
have worked since childhood in the mines.
If the business of Parliament is to gather
up the mind of the nation in its serious pur-
poses, the group of today is far superior to
30 years ago. It was formerly a place of
rhetoric, and is now a place of debate. Under
Toryism and Liberalism it is impossible to
get these vast changes and conflicting points
of view. Future historians will emphasize
the labor movement as improving the ma-
chinery of political democracy.
"We have become increasingly conscious
that a formal conception of freedom is en-

PAUL WAS ENEMY OF DOGMAS,
MYSTIC, APOSTLE OF FREEDOM
Influence of Apocalyptic Books  Ex-
plained by Dr. Stuart Tyson
Saint Paul and the Apocalyptic books
were the subject of discussion by Dr.
Stuart Tyson in the third of his lectures on
the Bible, given November 3, in Taylor
Hall.
"The first part of the Bible, the Law and
'he prophets, were brought by the scholar
Ezra as a completed product to Jerusalem,
and immediately treated as an infallible
Court of appeal. Yet people realized that
God's revelation could not come to an end.
God did not stop speaking wBen His book
went to press. So a new type of revelation
arose, the Apocalyptic books, Daniel and the
revelation of Saint John the Divine, which
form a link between the old and the new
religions.
"During the second century, the Jews
suffered untold misery from powerful neigh-
bors. Their country was invaded, they
were seized and offered liberty to abjure
their faith, they were in the depths of dis-
couragement�yet no prophet appeared.
"When /fatiochus Epiphanes determined
to Hellenize his neighbors by force, some-
one neither prophet nor priest, wishing to

MODERN   TURN    STRESSED
"There ha* been unwonted vigor iu the
American poetry of the last 70 years," said
M. Charles Cestre. of the Soibonne. in. the
irst of his lectures on Edwin Arlington
Robinson, given in Taylor Hall last Tuesday,
afternoon. The new school extols American
energy and buoyancy, but there, is a distrust
of old-fashioned reserve and prudence, and
they brand as un-American the standard
forms and conventions.
"Kdwin Arlington Robinson belongs here
in the line of the great masters of English
literature. One wonders if his universality
debars him from native appreciation.
"He has peculiarities which trouble his
readers when he treats situations not his
own�the passionate utterance is not his In
the margin outside passion .his lot finds its
place. Witli a keen eye and a fine sympathy,
he can regard the sour in repose after the
tremor of a crisis. He walks in the steps of
the great dramatists, discovering, with per-
fect understanding of joy and sorrow, the
meaning of human relations, and of human
hopes and  failures.
"He found his supreme subject in Merlin.
His meditations on the forces battling in the
human heart stood him in good stead here,
and he created a Merlin of his own a
masterpiece unique in American poetry.
Pre-eminently a poet of human strength of *-
will, and of human helplessness to avoid
calamity, he has bravely espoused the mod-
ern spirit�the spirit of observation and
scientific curiosity.
"His early poems are distinct!) Christian.
"Calvary" is a perfect sonnet, but also a
hymn where the poet's sombre descant on
the ways of the world have the tone of the
prophetic book, br the hopeful severity of
the Pilgrim fathers. The metaphysics of his
later poems-is not orthodox, but still true b!
the Christian spirit. The mystery of in
tellectual growth, and the sobering of spirit-
ual experience, replaces mysticism  in him.
"In Lancelot he shows color and path"-,
and passion with a glamour of romance.
"Mastery of form appears in full in him.
and the magnetic faculty of throwing con-
crete vision over things of the mind The
common words of the language, marshalled
with inborn ease, assume poetical utterance
without losing their homely familiarity.
"Humor is an essential component of his
style.      In    the    full    length    portraits    of
Shakespeare and Ben Jonson, there is struck,
a quiet note of mirth that enhances the uni-
versal humanity of both.
"From the first he has endeavored to ex-
press man. rie eschewed none of the things
that have ever touched the human heart -
love, death, aspirations to the ideal, thwarted
ambition, stringency of wordly rivalry. Hil
humor breeds thoughful assent or passionate
sympathy.
"He is not always a 'highbrow' in \\-
choice of subjects. Often they are the sui-
cides, the divorced, the maiden aunts, of
afte^ioon.tea gossip and the daily head-
lines. He only hints at the details, that he
may not divert our attention from tl�'
psychological-meaning. He is an analyst.
and a  story-teller.
"His philosophical comment is often  �ivr-i
in the shape of large allegori-al  I'n '" '
such as Merlin, and "The Mp< .\ga nst the
Sky." A keen sympathy, and a rich imagine
tio'n,  backed by  an  understanding ot  the
