1918 WINS ALL THREE TENNIS
MATCHES
1918 won all three tennis singles
matches from 1919 on Monday. ^There
was no brilliant playing on the part of
either team and the games were lacking
in swiftness. M. Stair's game was char-
acterised by excellent form and good
placing. M. Peacock played the swiftest
steady playing in the many long rallies.

MISS DAVIS WITH ONE OF  HER PATIENTS  IN  FRONT  OF THE AMERICAN
HOSPITAL  IN  PARIS
Miss Davis Tells Experiences in War Hospital
Sees   Zeppelin   Raid   in   London.
Miss Davis spent the summer as one
of the nurses in the American Ambu-
lance Hospital of Paris, where she saw
the presentation of the "Medaille Mill-
taire" to some of her patients. On her
way home she was in London at the
time of a Zeppelin raid. In telling of
her experiences  Miss  Davis  says:
When the French Government pre-
sented the 'Lycee' Pasteur' to the Amer-
ican people it was nothing but a shell,
but in a miraculously short time it was

There was more good playing in the
Senior-Junior matches than In those be-
tween the Sophomores and Freshmen. M.
Branson played a steady game, but M.
Thompson, with her usual sureness and
dexterity, placed many returns on the
back line that were almost impossible to
get. R. Levy's long, swift strokes won
her match against F. Bradley. E B. Kirk
and C. Stevens played a close match.

Varsity defeated Lansdowne last Sat-
urday by the close score of 2 to 1. All
the scoring was done In the first half.
Early in the game Lansdowne incurred
one of their many penalty corners and V.
Litchtield drove the ball between the
waiting teams. The Varsity forwards
closed in and F. Kellogg shot the first
goal for Bryn Mawr. Lansdowne scored
next through a clean shot by J. Katzen-
stein, Hryn Mawr. "06. Later in the game.
i he Hryn Mawr goal was threatened and
the ball was often brought within a few
inches of the line, but the remarkable de-
fense of A. Werner, the goalkeeper, pre-
vented further scoring. Near the end of
the half a lively struggle before the Lans-
downe goal resulted In the "'just one
more" for Varsity. F. Bradley shot the
goal and the half ended with the score:
Hryn Mawr, 2;   Lansdowne. 1.
During this half Varsity played on the
offensive and showed careful teamwork.
The halfbacks, M. Branson and V. Litch-
tield, made many clean hits and the de
fense was excellent The forward line
played intelligently, but lacked speed
M Allen led hockey songs and cheers
The support from the side lines was un-
usually good throughout the game.
The second half opened well. F. Hi ad
ley led off with a long run at wing, but
failed to pass soon enough and lost the
ball to Lansdowne at the 2'i-yard line.
\liei that, Lansdowne assumed the of-
fensive and Varsity worked only to hold
the lead. Their chances at goals were all
