will be pitted against picked nine from the
freshman class. The Smith College girl is
immensely interested in basketball, which
she also calls cradle-ball.
At Bryn Mawr, the students are equally as
devoted to this game, indeed. their interest
in it is tremendous, and vies with 5 o'clock
teas and theatricals in mitigating the ennui
of varsity life. The freshman and sopho-
more classes are particularly alive to this
sport; Miss Elsa Bowman is the captain of
the sophomores' nine, while Miss Corinne
Putnam is the leader of the freshmen.
WHY THE GAME is POPULAR.
The beauty OF the game-or one its beau
ties, for 1t has many-is that it can be played
by any number, and the more the merrier, it
is usually voted. The ideal number, how
ever, is nine on each side. There is goal

and left center, two forwards. and home

APPROPRIATED BY woMEN
The man who originated the game, or in
vented it, or whatever the proper word may
be, did not intend it merely for amusement;
his idea was to provide good all-around
physical exercise, and as such it cannot be
improved upon, combining as it does run

every muscle and joint in the body is brought
