They Really Were Grads. n There's

$50 More Toward 500. 900 Pund,
Smith and Bryn Mawr afumnp renewed
the days OF their college youth yesterday
morning In a match game Of basketball
q, the Twelfth Regiment srmory. At
least the notice said they were graduates.
With pigtails down their backs and In short
skirts and boomers they looked like kinder
sarten children out for a holiday.
If that little %grashopper is more than

who wal allowed entrance. "Iu give you

remark. after he had watched her spring
I'D like a puff Of thistledown half q dozen
times Just under the ball and send II flying
toward the basket.
Smith carried the day with a score of
to 5. But 1t was . hard. tough fight.
The teams play by the unmodiaed rules
which seem 20 make anything short Of
hairpulling. scratching and pinioning not
only perfectly lawful but necessary. The
game is no longer a lesson In Difference
and politeness. You slap the ball out Of
your contestants hands. and II you can't
YOU hold on like . puppy to . root until
the referee blows his whistle m throws
II up between you.
The Interpretation Of che rules yesterday
was liberal. The players tied themselves
into knots and UNFINISHED again; they
whirled and darted and ducked and bumped
and sat down hard and got up again. They

ball and rolled it under them. They threw
II home. and like an i~n-regulsted shuttle
cock, back 1t twisted to the other goal. Half
q dozen times a Smithhome had 1t In her
hands. But her guard chung to her like an
cid man Of the sea- INC away went the
leather oval again. At last, after a long
eight minutes OF fighting q Smith home
caught it, ~wriggled away from her guard
for one supreme instant and tossed the
hall into the exact middle of the basket.
Then the ball was thrown from the middle
again and the teams became a kaleidoscope
Of hurrying, rushing. struggling figures.
Isn't time upp' pouted a Bryn Mawr
girl 10 herself. Then a Smith foul gave
Pryn Mawr a free throw. and the half ended
with a score OF 2 to 1 In favor of Smith.
The audience did lite level best to make
II seem like college. They sang songs and
they clspped and they rooted for their
favorites, but II was a faint reflection Of
College enthusiasm.
My. doesn't it mako you homesiok for
tina old times and the big gamei' asked one
girl just budded into q graduate.
Yes" answered the ex-player who sat
beside her, But, Mary, didn't o feel
~ If you'd been through a mangle after
wnrd?"
The game was played for the ben eft Of
the Smith sioO. 900 fund. which the alumne
ara straining every nerve to raise before
June. II they do. the college will get an
other 100000. but If they don't it wont.
Tie Smith eam sent out notices to the
sfImne, and they worked like beavers
among their friends Come for the fun OF
u. if YOU want to- they said. but come
anyway for The quarter IL will mean to-
ward the fund,"
They came. young graduates and old
graduates, by themselves and with their
low With SorTowed brothers wSo thought
y was bully" and cheered Justify for the
Smith team. The girls didn't mind, be-
cause they helped 10 swell the amount for
TIE fund and that was what they were
working for.
They said they had their moneys worth.
Everybody said so, even the small boy
who was paid for. and had a perfect right
20 criticise. They even scknowledg ed
that they couldn ave o It better them
saIves.
The game was a social function as well as
a business venture. During the inter
mission the linking OF old ac~qualntAnces
was the order OF the hour. Exclsmailons
filed the air and the exchange Of r~eininis-
oeuces might have made a c~entsnarian
feel Young
