�19's PLAY ENTHRALLS AUDIENCE
Powerful Symbolism of "The Scarecrow"
BRYN MAWR DEFEATS ALL-PHILADELPHIA, 3-0
A  STUDY   IN  CONTRASTS
Tagore at the  Bellevue
Flowing Oriental robe and long beard
were placed in strange contrast to the
ultra-fashionable get-ups In the Bellevue-
Stratford last Saturday. "A stir of sur-
prise", says the Philadelphia "Ledger",
"swept along Peacock Alley when Sir
Rabindranath Tagore passed through the
crowd".
This world famous poet and philoso-
pher is on his second visit to America
and is making a lecture tour through the
principal cltlea to give the Americans,
whom he calls "provincial", an insight
Into the ideals of Oriental mysticism.
After complete absorption in perhaps
the most perfect art of the modern stage,
the music, the dancing, and the setting of
the Russian Ballet, one expects to view
the first performance of a group of col-
lege amateurs with only tolerant interest.
"The Scarecrow", nevertheless, a Tragedy
of the Ludicrous by Percy Makaye, given
last Saturday evening by 1919, In the
swiftness of its action, the charm of its
characters and the Increasing power of its
symbolism, left no room for thoughts of
comparison or criticism. The witchery of
the Sophomore Play cast its spell over
the most skeptical.

The plot of the play suggested by Haw-
thorne's legend of "Feathertop", is devel-
oped with a more serious emphasis by Mr.
Mackaye. By the black arts of Goody
Rickby and her diabolical accomplice
Dickon, a scarecrow Is brought to life to
impersonate Goody's illegitimate son and
to avenge her on his father, Justice Mer-
ton. The scarecrow or Lord Ravensbane,
though he is but a puppet in the hands of
Dickon, creates a dramatic storm center;
threats of dishonor intimidate Justice
Merton and the airs and graces of a lord
fascinate Rachel, the Justice's niece. Her

Record End to Record Season
ALL-PHILADELPHIA  MEETS  DEFEAT
ONCE IN  EIGHT GAMES
A record breaking season of unbroken
| victory closed last Saturday with the de-
feat of All-Philadelphia, the unrealized
' dream of Bryn Mawr Varsities since 1908
when the two teams first met. In seven
games with All-Philadelphia, Bryn Mawr
lias lost five and tied two but it took
Captain Thompson's unbeaten squad to
achieve victory. The record of former
games is:
First Season With No Defeats
This Is the first year in which Bryn
Mawr has not lost a single game since
I Varsity hockey was begun In the Fall of
'02. That year Bryn Mawr played the
"Merion Ladies' Hockey Club" In three
games and won two of them. The score
of goals for the three games was Bryn
Mawr 5, Merion 3.
In the average of goals scored for and
against Varsity this season the team
shows up well with 33 for and 4 against.
The statistics of the years since Bryn
Mawr began to play the Philadelphia
Hockey League are:

SPLENDID GAME OF HARD FIGHTING
Mighty Defense and Strong Forward Line
Prevents  Visitors'  Scoring
WITH   ONE   EXCEPTION   WHOLE   OF
VAR8ITY  PLAYS
For the first time In Bryn Mawr history
the yellow and white college banner
hangs on the gym and celebrates Varsity's
first defeat of All-Philadelphia 3 to 0, last
Saturday. Excepting V. Lltchfleld '17,
right halfback, a full Varsity team lined
up when the whistle blew. The game was
hard fought and full of excitement for the
spectators: defence and offence played up
finely with the former perhaps more spec-
tacular since Varsity's forwards were too
well bottled up by All-Philadelphia's
strong defence to make many long rushes.
The Varsity line-up with the first subs
Is:

The Game in  Detail
The game began with Bryn Mawr pass-
ing tbe ball down to All-Philadelphia's
circle where they lost it and a penalty
corner resulted. All-Philadelphia's
speedy right wing. Miss Wiener got the
ball part way down but ii Hani- stopped
tbe rush, sending it back to the circle
where there was a second penalty corner.
Scrapping in the visitors' territory lasted
until Miss Wiener got away with the ball
and tbe play changed Into Bryn Mawr ter-
ritory.
Two corners in the Varsity's circle kept
the nerves of the spectators taut until tbe
ball was out and L. Brown and M. Willard
were dribbling down the field. Again
Miss Wiener brought the play into home
territory and a goal against Varsity was
only prevented by a fine shot from Cap-
tain Thompson from directly In front of
the goal.           Mb
