first goal for Bryn Mawr, and the cheer
ing section let loose but their Joy over
this success was cut short when Miss
Ferguson equallzed for All-Philadelphia,
Play opened up considerably after this
and. although both teams had chances
OF scoring, the score remained unaitered
at half time.
Bryn Mawr started with a rush In the
second half but All-Philadelphia defended
we'll and attacked in turn, with the re-
suit that Miss Taylor scored from a fine
centre from Miss Seeds. Aroused by this
reverse. the Bryn Mawr girls went at II
harder than ever, with the result that
Miss Willard made II two all few min
utes later Miss Alexander scored n third
goal for Bryn Mawr. The visitors had
all their work cut out to defend their
goal for several minutes, but later set
up hot attack on the Bryn Mawr goal
and Miss Cheston scored what proved to
be the last goal of the match

De Nerl quintet tonight in their basket

at Reading the Musical Fund Hall team

race. That this Is apt Is obvious Judging
the possibilities of tonights games with
the games played to date in the cage
campaign.
While Jasper has been beaten only once
this season they will be playing on Read

vantage. In the same way De Neri will
be at home. while the enemy. Trenton,
will have the disadvantage OF the foreign
floor.
In the early games this season DOC"
Newman wae not up to his usual stand
ard. but that was due largely to the fact
that he was in sad need of practice. The
same thing was true of Dark. With that
pair going at full speed, backed UP by
the veteran Joe Fogarty. the Trenton men
will have a fight on their hands which
will be worth beholding this evening. It,
is unquestionably true that when the Mu-
steal Funders are travelling on high gear
they are unbeatable. Thus far, however.
they have been playing in and out bas-
