Team Stages Come-Back
on Saturday.
IMPROVEMENT      NOTED
The team that beat the Philadelphia
�Cricket Chib 4-2 on Saturday morning
was a different team from the one that
suffered defeat on Friday. Something
had happened overnight. In individual
brilliance, in energy, in teamwork, they
were miraculously improved. Two time-
keepers, two small boys, and four dogs
witnessed1 a game which was worthy of
a far larger and "more enthusiastic audi-
ence.
The first half, although it ended in a
lie. was the best. The improvement in
the 'Bryn -Mawr p'.ayers was visible in
the opening minute of play. Longstreth
scored the first point almost immediately.
The forward line was in splendid form,
and the backs were turning up just
where they were needed, instead of a
few yards off. Shortly after Bryn
JIawr's goal, the Criclfet Club team re-
�gained its equilibrium, and Sue Cross,
ail-American left inner, evened the score.
For some time no more points were
made, but the -balance inclined towards
Bryn Mawr. Frequently an inch to the
right or left would have meant a oaf her
goal, but the forwards were uncertmn in
their aim. and the Varsity was showing
signs of fatigue. At length the Phila-
delphia right"'wing, for once achieving
the impossible. " evaded Hirschberg's
strenuous stick and scored a second goal.
This aroused the Bryn Mawr players,
and 'they succeeded, in spite of repeated
tumbles, in tieing the score. The half
ended with a collision of head* in the
alley whichtemporarily knocked out the
opposing left   halfback.
Second Half Drags.
On the whole, the playing in the second
half was neither so sure nor so snappy
as in the first. There was a good deal
-of bunching, and.some careless passing.
However, as the score was brought from
2 all to 4-2" in favor of Bryn Mawr we
do not complain.
At first the P. C. C. team frequently
menaced the Bryn Mawr goal, but
Johnny Reiser, in the posture of a lioness
defending her young, -was able to ward
off all attacks.
The first score was made by Blanc-hard
after a long dribble by Moore; and soon
afterwards a second goal, made by Cap-
tain Wills, insured a safe margin of vic-
tory. The game ended just as the Varsity
had safely extricated themselves from a
penalty corner.
Moore Stars.
The outstanding star of the game was
H. Moore. '32, who wore out two sticks
in her enthusiasm. Her speed, her in-
telligent passing, and the evident use of
her head earned her the honors of the
day. But the- old faithfuls were also
on the- spot. Hirschberg's stick-work is
so skillful and so reliable that we have
almost begun to . take perfection for
granted in the left back-field.
The line-up was:
Bryn Mawr: B'.anchard. Moore. Wills,
Longstreth, Crane. Balch, G. Woodward,
Freeman. Hirschbcrg, McCnlly, Reiser.
Goals: Longstreth, 2; Blanchard, 1;
Wills, 1.
Armistice Day Tea Held in
Common Room Saturday
A tea was held in the Common Room
on Saturday in honor of Armistice Day.
Cdith Baxter, '3Q> acted as hostess and
introduced five of the foreign graduate
students who spoke of the student life
in their respective countries. Miss Bax-'
ter in her introduction stressed the fact
that only by education and meeting
people of other nationalities could we
b'uild up an international � way of think-
ing.                                                           *
The first to speak was Miss Griffiths,
of the University of Wales. She ex-
plained that this .University is made up
of four' colleges in different parts of
Wales. She herself comes from the
smallest' and newest: the college at
Swansea. AH are co-educational, and all
offer the same general type of courses.
A feeling of unity is engendered espe-
cially by an institution called Inter-col-
lege Week. Sports have a more imporT
tant place in British Universities than
they do here. Miss Griffiths -said. The
University of Wales sends one member
to (Parliament.
Miss den Hartog said a few words
aUout the Universities of Holland. There
are six in a country of seven million
people. The Dutch are fond of democ-
racy and liberty, and this is reflected in
their educational system. They five at
home or in boarding houses, not in
dormitories, and so their education is
cheaper than here. Their attendance at
classes is absolutely unsupervised, and
the first examination docs not come for
three years. This complete liberty is
sometimes dangerous. But a student
may safely spend as much as half a year
looking around and amusing himself
before he need settle down to work. The
independence of- the Dutcli is likewise
reflected in their sectarianism and their
individualism.- Each religious group
wants an institution of its own, and
within the colleges there is little collec-
tive life. The informality and love of
tradition of the students of Holland was
likewise mentioned.
Miss Bachstrom, of the University of
Upsala, electrified the guests with her
account of the annual spring festivity in
Sweden, when the students dance all
night and most of another with short
intervals for eating and watching the
sunrise.
In her account of student life in Ger-
many, Miss Seifert emphasized the part
played by the corporations, the powerful
students' clubs, whose members are so
noticeable in German University towns
with their brightly-colored caps and belts
They take the lead in dancing, in fenc-
ing, and in the student self-government

Internationally-Minded Writer.
A great traveler since his student days,
when he used to spend his vacations in
walking trips through France, Italy, Ger-
many and the mountains of Switzerland
and Austria. Dr. Duhamel is one of the'
most internationally minded of contem-
porary French writers, while remaining
one of the most French. His base is dis-
tinctly Paris not Geneva, but his sym-
IKttliy is worldwide. The overwhelming
sense that he has of the essential broth-
erhood of the men of all nations seems
to be what, remains with him from his
excursion into the doctrine of "I'Vnani-
misme." This doctrine was evolved by
Jules Romains in the little group of
young poets and artists who from 1006
to 1908 made an attempt at community
living at their "Abbaye" at Cretefl near
Paris. Duhamel was a member of the
group and it was between 1006 and 1014
that he wrote most of his published verse
and his studies in the poetry of Paul
Claudel.

Good-Bye, Mr. Smith, and
Good Luck to Mr. Hoover
"1 feel myself in a peculiarly unhappy
situation this morning." began. Mrs.
Manning in Chapel last Wednesday�the
day when news of Mr. ?lobver's election
was being broadcast all over the-United
States. However,' the Dean proceeded
to declare herself a conservative in the
matter of politics: the sudden making
over of a government and the inaugurat-
ing of a "new plan of procedure would
probably not do us any good, 'and would
only get us into more difficulties. We
ought to be able to hope for reforms
from the Republican party as well as
from the Democratic party. Yet one is
tempted to question Mr, Hoover's ability
in the leadership which Mr. Coolidgc
sorely-lacks. But naturally Mr. Hoover's
disqualifications were not so much the
deciding factor in the campaign as those
of Mr. Smith. The latter's religion, his
connection with Tammany, and his stand
�en the prohibition issue swung the elec-
tion for the Republican candidate. Per-
sonally Mrs. Manning would have liked
to see a Catholic elected: she considered
his affiliation with the Now York politi-
cal Organization but an unfortunate com*
plication; and although she disagreed
with his views on the prohibition ques-
tion, she admired the positive position he
took to uphold his convictions on the
issue.                                              t.
Turning from her own beliefs the Dean
considered the future possibilities of Mr.
I louver as administrator. He is ex-
ceedingly shrewd in appointments, and
it lie is able freely to choose the men
to work with him his Presidential career
CAN WE ATTAIN
THE NEW ORDER?
Dr. Fenwick ConderAhs Anar-
chy of Old Way of Set-
tling' Disputes.
WAR     IS     OUTGROWN
Dr. Fenwick gave a very inspiring
Armistice Day speech in Chapel on Mon-
day morning, November 12. In its sub-
stance, it was a plea for The World
Court and the League of Nations; for
the new order in international affairs as
opposed to the old system of war and
anarchy, which is no longer endurable
nor possible.                                              #
He recalled the cost of the war: ten
million men were killed on the field of
battle, twenty million were wounded, ten
million died of disease or privation dur-
ing the blockades, ten million children
were made orphans, and five million
women liecamc widows. All this was
the result of four years of conflict. But
the sacrifice of lives was not the only
price we had to pay. The war left us
a heritage of hate and bitterness which
it will take at least another generation
to outgrow, just as after the Civil War
the South remembered its hatred and
bitterness towards the North. Why
must there Ik- this terrible price? In
commemoration of Armistice Day we
ask the question..
Dr. Fenwick related how he had-seen
very young boys in Merlin in the early
days of the war marching to what they
believed was the necessary defense of
their country. That the government was
militaristic cannot alone explain the self-
deception of a whole nation. In London,
Dr. Fenwick saw exactly the same thing:
youths inarching to the defense of their
country; and in Paris and Russia and
Italy it was the same. The youth of all
the nations, en one side as mi the other,
die in the same belief, with the feeling
that they arc performing the supreme
Christian act. Not only individual coun-
tries, but the system as a whole is at
fault. The principle on which interna-
tional  disputes have been regulated is a
will'begin    fortuitously.     Moreover   on
several points Mr. Hoover has a chance I principle   of   anarchy:   each   nation   has
to do excellent work, perhaps better than   heen   the judge   in   its own  case.    Nine
Will You Debate or Will

��.
The debating club, of which we warned
our readers some weeks ago, has actually
"become a going concern. It will hold
its first public dejrate this Thursday eve-
ning at 0.15 in the Common Room in
Goodhart Hall. The subject, one which
opinion.   At present the German students j should   be   of   interest   to   everyone,   is:
incline towards the right, in opposition
to the Social -Democratic party. The
German government has tried to put a
stop to the movement for Union with
the Austrian students because it also was
a manifestation of the right only. Miss
Seifert urged any American students who
went to Germany not to.be discouraged
if they were slow to make friends among
the GeTmans. This, necessarily arises
from the lack of collective life in foreign
Universities.                ^""
Miss Hingres spoke for France. She
also pointed out the individualistic .char-
acter of student life in Paris.    There is
that which Mr. Smith would have done.
Especially upon the confused problem of
farm relief he may work to great advan-
tage, aided by his wide and intimate
knowledge of farming difficulties and
market reforms. In regard to putting
through plans for the extension of the
national budget and general economic
mefcures, one wonders what devices Mr.'
Hoover will use. And. finally, one "ques-
tions his attitude oh foreign policy which
now seems rather nationalistic�although
of course Mr. Hoover has had consider-
able experience  in such "matters.
,JJ am looking forward to the next
Presidential term with curiosity and
nope." Mrs. Manning concluded. "How-
ever, how could any one have watched
the Republican administration for the
last eight years without embracing the
chance of repudiating during this election
all that  it has stood  for  in the past."
"Resolved: That the English tutorial
system of education is better than the
American system of lectures and exami-
nations." The debaters will be : A. Mer-
rill. A. Lord. J. Wise and V. Hobart.
There will be two on each side, but no
one knows yet which will be on which
side. Afterwards the audience will have
a chance  to vote on the decision  itself,

The brisk, invigorating weather did not
seem to lie able to induce lO.to's team to
enough enthusiasm last Monday after-
noon. With one right wing entirely de-
molished, the crippled team entered the
fray. 1932 was there with flying colors
and by a score of H-l proved that a co-.
ordinating team, although new in the
business, is better than a host of veterans
who take no notice of each other.
The first half of the game consisted
of a few scrambling* whicli, as far as
the Juniors were concerned, were of no
avail. 10.'!2's star players. Holden and
