VARSITY WINS FROM ALUMN/�4TO0
ALUMN>�  SHOW   FIGHT
APPOINTMENT  BUREAU   ORGANIZES
SERIES  OF  CONFERENCES
Expert on Vocational Work to Speak
Last Wednesday afternoon the Varsity
defeated the Alumnae 4 to 0. The game
was an exciting one to watch, for the
Alumnae put up a much better fight than
any other team that has hitherto met the
Varsity this season, and their playing
was remarkable considering that they
had never practised together. The line
was particularly good and the passing
snappy.
Fight Close in First Half
During the first half the teams were
very evenly matched, though the ball was
near the Alumnae goal most of the time,
where R. Bixler '14 put up a good fight
to keep the Varsity from scoring. How-
ever, the ball was finally shoved in by ('.
Stevens '17, making the only score In the
first half. M. Kirk '12 made some valiant
rushes down the field, ably supported by
her line, only to be stopped outside the
circle by the Varsity fullbacks.
Varsity   Defence  Good
In the second half, C. Stevens '17, M.
Willard  '17   and   the  team  made   three
more goals for Varsity, but on the whole
the line seemed disorganized and did not
play   well   together.     Varsity's   defence
was good, especially  H. Harris '17, who
made some splendid stops.   M. Thompson
'17 and M. Peacock '19 showed good team-
work and M. Tyler '19 played well at left
wing.
For the Alumnae defence, R. Bixler '14

PRESIDENT  THOMASOFFERS PRIZES
Faculty to Pass on Plan
It is understood that within a week or
ten days President Thomas's plan of offer-
ing six prizes, three for general informa-
tion and three for knowledge of the read-
ing in connection with her Chapel Talks
on Friday, will go before the Directors of
the College and the faculty for approval.
The two sets of prizes are to be
awarded, in each case, for first, second,
and third place. First is $100, second $50,
and third $25. If President Thomas's
; plan is approved, the faculty will prob
ably be asked to decide the conditions of
the contest. No doubt topics for the gen-
eral information prize will be drawn from
Dr. Gray's current events class and from
talks in Chapel.

1919 and 1920 respectively in the first of
the second team games on Thursday and
Friday and also in the third team games
Saturday morning. The Sophomore sec-
ond team on Thursday beat 1917 6 to 3
] in a ragged game with poor team play.
, M. Scott '19 at center forward making all
of the Green's goals. Fumbling and lack
of spirit on the Junior side marked their
second team game with 1920 Friday, won
2 to 1 by the Freahmen largely on account
of their splendid defence.
On the third teams. Saturday. 1919 beat
1917. 7 to 1. and the Freahmen trimmed
1918 10 to 0, the Juniors not even pro-
viding a full team.
NO MARCHING IN  HALLS
ON   LANTERN  NIGHT
Red  Cross  Adopts  New  Plans
At the meeting of the Undergraduate
Association last Thursday evening it was
decided, because of the length of the Lan-
tern Night ceremony, that after this the
Freshmen should not march through
Merlon and Pembroke East, but should
go straight from the Library to Pem-
broke Arch.
It was voted that ten cents admission
to the College plays be charged for the
classes uninvited, the proceeds to be
given to the Red Cross. J. Jameson '17.
chairman of the Red Cross Committee,
announced that aa the Red Cross work
room in the non-resident room in Rocke-
feller la too far away for there to be
large attendance at the meetings for re-
lief work, a new plan Is to be tried. There
are to be Red Croes representatives In
each hall who will give out surgical
dressings to be folded and will have for
sale materials and directions for knitting
articles needed in relief work

In anything as traditional as Banner
Show no one looks for originality of con-
ception, so 1918 merits special com-
mendation for its motif of the weaver and
his magically endowed rug which even-
tually became the Freshman banner. Be-
sides the novelty of the idea it offered an
opportunity for the setting and costuming
for which the present Junior Class is
noted.
While  Banner Show  in   its brevity In-
clined   towards   prologue   antl   epilogue,
the dull blue and scarlet  background of
the Persian Court, the chorus of llappi-
' ness with their delightful clusters of bal-
1 loons,  the  First  Guest  and   his  swarthy
| retinue, with each and every other mem-
ber of the court, were worked into a col-
our scheme completely satisfying in   Its
brilliance and harmony.
The local hits came rather inconse-
quently from the lips of an Eastern peo-
ple, but the customary academic tourists
| were non-existent, Allah be praised, and
the inevitable waa justified by the cli-
mactic "Syllabus Song". The novel con-
celt of the Ear-ring chorus ended in a
shower of silver balls among the de-
lighted audience.
F. Buffum's sensational entrance from
aloft Indicates a gratifying and ambitious
interest In stage mechanics, and E.
Houghton. In the epilogue, did a very
creditable bit of imitation as oar friend.

the audience were looking to V Kneeland
