HAVE A CHANCE TO
WIN, SAYS BENNETT
Haverford Will Be in Excellent
Shape for Big Battle
With Garnet
STUDENTS ARE OPTIMISTIC

1IavcrfOrd will be ready. That Is the
attitude of the students who call the
Main Line institution their alma mater.
They are convinced that Swarthmore
has n remarkable tcam-in fact, one of
their best in recent years-but they also
think Haverford has an excellent chance
to hold the Garnet to low score and
perhaps defeat them.
Haverford may be down, but she Is
never out, to use popular expression,
and therein lies the spirit Of the stu
dents and players. The season has been
anything but a success, but still Haver-
ford teams in the past have reached the
heights in games with Swarthmore and
they may do the same this Saturday
afternoon.
Coach Mike Bennett. a star IN MS
day at the University of Pennsylvania
and tutor of the Orthodox Quakcrs, has
,bccn work ng earnestly and hard under
adverse conditions all season. but nc
is not dShcartened. He rcvels in the
fine spirit of the players under him ana
is convinced they will give Swnrthmore

more experienced and will have weight

hopes that we might come through.
