Bavedom &Dd the SocCer League
In last week's issue ·we published
a summary of the discussion which
took place at the annual meeting of
the Alumni ~c Committee.
Under the hea:ding of soccer we
reported that the probability of the
Intercollegiate season being changed
from spring to fall was the most
senous question that carne up.
This same report, with a misleading
heeding, appeared in the Philadelphia papers and is what · Mr .
Gummere refers to in his letter
which is printed below. That there
s a probability of such a change-is
a fact which we have to face no
matter how disagreeable, but that
Haverford will have to withdraw
from the League (although this was
hinted at at the meeting), is not at
all likely. If the change in season
is made it will no doubt take a
oertam amount of in~ away
from socoer not only at Haverford
but throughout Intercollegiate circles, because the fall is the season
when football reigns supreme.
Socoer at Haverford is too live a
game at present and is growing too
rapidly to be permanently influenced by· any such change. The
men who are needed in both sports
are few and no uneasiness need be
felt on that situation . We are
thoroughly in accord with what
Mr. Gummere has said in his letter.
Haverford is not thinking about
withdrawing from the League and
will not withdraw. ·
Bennett Starts Wrestling
Coach Bennett was out to. supper
on · last Tuesday and dined at a
table composed o£ some of the likely
candidates for next year's. squad.
After supper he met all the possible
andidates and gave them a talk in
which he ad\~sed them as to their
preparation for next season. Bennett is a strong advocate of wrestlmg and boxing for keeping football
men in condition during the offseason. Later in t he evening he
conducted an impromptu wrestling
class in the gym. He showed the
principal elementary holds and had
some of the men try them. He is
planning to conduct these classes
on Tuesday and Thursday evenings
and will be assisted by Dr. Babbitt.

Newa Notea
New stacks which. will accommodate approximately 90,000 volumes
are being constructed in the stack
room of the Library'. This addition
to the new building was presented
anonymously to the college and ~
to be, when completed, a very fine
piece of work, costing about $6,500.
News Notes
Albert C.
of Moylan, Pa.,
an ~nterprising historian, has been
spending the past week at the college. He is using the historical
materials of the Library in preparing a book which aims to make
a Complete collection of the works
of W.illiam Penn.
_J
On Wednesday afternoon a squad
of some twenty fellows armed with
shovels and corr.manded by 0,.. R.
M. Gummere attacked the snow on
t he new socoer field. A considerable space was. cleared away in
front .of one of the goals and this
week the tear)! can probably have
regular out-of-door shooting practise.
On Thursday afternoon Mrs. T .
F. Branson gave a tea at her home
to which a number of the students
of the college were invited to meet
some of the delegates to the Kansas
City Convention. Nitobe, ' 15, gave
a short talk on: .. Missions, the
Unifying Power of the E ast and
West."
A small pamphlet containing a
brief account of t he missionary life
of Robert; L. Simpkin, '03, has been
distributed during. the past month .
In the opening lines it says that
his work "has assumed such commanding proportions during the
past two years that we feel that
most Haverfordians will be interested in reading this brief
account." And in closing it states:
.. This unassuminR Haverfordian
d~es the backing of the alumni
and tne friends of the college"
An effort is being made to increase
the " Simpkin Fund, " and checks
should be sent to J. P . Magill,
treasurer of t e "Simpkin Fund."
Moorestown called off the socoer
game on saturday on account of
the condition of their field.
The class in Economics I b.
inspected the plant of the New
York Shipbuilding Company at
Camden," under the guidance of
Professor Barrett.
Exhibition M eet at Swarthmore
On Friday, 27t h Haverford's
gymnasium .learn will give an exhibition at Swarthmore. Swarthmore is trying to arouse interest
in getting up a "gym" team, and
to help this purpose they invited
the Haverford team over.
On account of the sickness of
Captain Waples, the gymnasium
team was unable to go to Brown.
The date of the dual meet has been
postponed until March 20th.
Haverford's team, except for the
loss of two good club-swingers,
Baker and Montgomery, is considerably stronger than it was last
year. Waples and T aylor are both
stars o_n the parallel bars and
horizontal bar, and Latham and
Waples excel on the rings. On the
side-horse, Stokes, Latham and
Votaw do good work, and in tumbling, Sharpless and A. Garrigues
have strengthened the team. Haverford's schedule is as follows:
February 27 .-'Exhibition meet
at Swarthmore.
March 6.-Dual meet with
i G<llumbia, at Ha~erf.
, March 13. meet with
. Pennsylvania, at ennsylvania.
March 20.-Postponed dual meet
i with Brown, at Providence.

Three fellows are now enjoying
the comforts of the Morris Infirmary
and the care of Miss Hardwick, i.e.,
Helveston, Ellison and Leland.
The latter has had quite a siege of
several weeks. There have been
about
many fellows in the Infinnary this year as last, but within
the past two weeks there has been a
slight increase.
Miss Hardwick
attributes this increase to the fact
that many of the fellows come o~er
for trival reasons and characterizes.
the Infirmary as a "Nursery."

training Captain Ellcinton has )>ceo
