them, and cast the rest aside.
All glory of the contest which
ended 32-12 goes to the Bryn
Mawr sextet, present South Atlantic
champions. That Baltimore aggre-
cation is not only unusually speedy,
but is also confusingly clever in
it's team work. Honestly, as one
sits On the side lines and watches
those eighteen-year;old kids do their
stuff on the court, open eyes and
a sagging jaw are entirely excus'
able, for If any team in this South
Atlantic section knows it's groceries.
that Brym Mawr team certainly
does.
Figuring from either the logical
or the human angle, it is quite pos
sible to wonder how the Vanquished
could come home happy. But one
must now, calmly and sanely not
only Live for today, but also figure
for the morrow. An Intellectual
girl will gain in defeat II she is
broad-minded enough to reason out
impersonally just why the other
players were better. Would gravity
have been given a handle had not
the gentleman, upon whom the
apple descended, remained seated
beneath the tree and reasoned out
why the apple didn't fall upwards?
This is the first year for the
Washington A. G. team, and they
have been adding to their expert
ence and growth all season. They
will continue to hit along on all
six through victory and defeat, the
main reason for the surety Of that
statement being due to the fact
that they are excellent sports.
