Lost Arguments

WHEN Platt won the qualifying
w round of the fast invitation tourney
at the North Hills Club the first OF the
season with an 80, 1t was thought to be
a record. It's really the custom to
break 80 at least.
But at Lakewood Thanksgiving Day
this record was trapped by an 81. and
there WAS tie for the low score, at
that Quite a few other records went
nv the board at Lakewood also, not
withstanding the comparatively expert
field in the play. A..

WITH the girls field hockey season
w COMING to a close within a couple
Of weeks, PhiladeIphia's athletic young
women are beginning their indoor sea
son IN the ice. Last night. when II
was announced that two teams from the
Philadelphia Ice Skating Club would
meet at the Ice Palace. it was consid-
cred rather in the nature Of joke and
caused few of the men players to
smile. They believed that the girls
would not he able to play the game, both
on account of lack of skill and physical
Not only did the girls stand up we'll
under the physical strain, but they dis
played wonderful ability. There was not
one Of the fourteen players who was not
a skillful skater. which Is naturally the
greatest asset Of the ice hockey player.
The only thing that marred the play Of
the girls was the fact that most of them
did not have the proper kind of skates.
If they had the correct brand of
hockey skates. their game would be just
as good as the mems, remarked Novel;
Baptie. ~ was very much surprised
really fine players.
All. Round Athletes
Among the all round athletes who
played last night were Miss Phyllis
Walsh and Miss Gertrude Pancoast.
Both Of these girls are tennis players
who take part in most OF the tourna
ments in this vicinity. Miss Walsh
holds, among other titles, the cham
. pionship of Florida. which she won last
winter at Palm Beach. She will de-
fend this title this year.
In the game last night Miss Walsh
scored two OF the goals for her team.
Other star performers on the ice were
Miss Margaretta Sharpless, Miss Sarah
Franklin, Miss PRnsy Scott, Miss
Elizabeth Frazier and Miss Esther
DAILY. OF these, Miss Sharpless was
the most expert. She is remark
ably good skater and she carried the
puck time and again from one end of
the field to the other without losing il.
Incidentally. she shot four Of the goals
for her side. which won 2 10 g. Miss
Eharpless acted as captain Of the
Thorns and Miss Walsh led the Roses

correct Miss Pansy Scott vas on the
Roses seven.
Played Long Game
The girls did not nave much time
last night, consequently they played
without an intermission for forts min
utes. Any one who has played hockey
knows that even the best athletes got
enough in fifteen minute periods. but
these girls went the forty minutes at
top speed and appeared to be in good
condition at the end Of H." long grind.
When the regular team of the Skat-
ing Club Is selected, challenges will be
sent to several girls school teams.
Bryn Mawr probably will he among the
first to play the Philadclphians. A
xirls' team from Toronto wants TO meet
them also. When told Of this, one OF
the players last night asked, Are
