In the first and closest game the Yl hien Newberry team defeated that of Kappa Alpha Theta by a score of 15 to 14. Excellent playing was shown on both sides with Marie Van Osen- bruggen, '26, starring at left guard for Helen Newberry, and Florence Wolfe, '28, left forward, and Elsa Ohlmacher, '25, right guard, carrying .'off the honors on the Theta team. Phi Sigma Sigma was defeated by the Alpha Phi squad by a score of 17 to 4. Helen Rutherford, '28P, was distiguished by her excellent work at right forward for Alpha Phi, while Miriam Olden, '27, also showed skill at left forward for Phi Sima Sigma. In the third game the Westminster team was victorious over that of Ad- elia Cheever to the tune of 12-7. The playing of Emma Goodwille, '27, was noticeable at the position of left for- ward for Westminster, while Kathryn Francons, '28, at right forward, starred for Adelia Cheever. Theta Phi Alpha was overcome by the strong Gamma Phi Beta team with a score of 42 to 2. Beth Hibarger, '28, and Mary Stewart, '25, on the Gamma Phi Beta forward line were the stars of this game. The second series of first roun d games in the interhouse tournament will be played Monday. 4 1 i I the keyword is education; when that! word is placed, all the rest of the puzzle will be worked out in time," said Miss Elizabeth Bredin, director of the student friendship fund in the central part of the United States, in an address given in Newberry hall yesterday afternoon. Miss Bredin, in reviewing the whole educational situation in Russia from the first revolution up to the present, stated, "When the Soviet government first came into power, they sought to establish a broader educational pro- gram. They decided on two things: first, to wipe out illiteracy and secord. to establish free universities, without eMtrance requirements. "tbis was done to bring the 80% of illiterates down to an absolute. minirmmn, and it is hoped that by 1927 this goal will have been accomplish- ed. To a. certain extent it has been accomplished already, but it has been done through ridicule. "Before th'e spring of 1921, lack of money hindered to a great extent the Russian educational program. Teach- ers were paid by goods, food or cloth- ing instead of by money. When this policy was withdrawn in 1921 and "money and the right to trade" was finally re-established this educational experiment was found to be imposs- ible and examinations and tuitions1 were once more enforced. Russia! then began their "cleaning" system and dismissed about 10% of their stu- dents at once, keeping only those of high social standing and those who had done the best work. "The Russian type of university is a cross between the German and American universities and although, in 25 years, it is hoped to be a model sys- tem, it can hardly be judged at pre. sent because it is merely an exper". ment." In comparing the Russian school with the American Miss Bredin said that one of the outstanding dif- ferences was that the Russian spent more time on his studies, h'e did not take an rctive part in athletics but hired professional teams to play the traditional football and basketball and he was not actively interested in any social activity, thus limiting the "school spirit" to a great extent. "The grandson of Leo Tolstoy is about the only Russian student who has been allowed to leave the country since I have been* there and he Is now in a small Quaker college i Pennsylvania," Miss Bredin said. "The University of Michigan is known to the Russian student through their relief work at Kief when they support- ed a kitchen for three months there and fed 1800 students a day." When asked which American books seemed to he the most in demand to the Russian student Miss Bredin im- 90 NEW WOMEN ENROIL FOR SECOND SEMESTER Approximately 90 womenn have en- tered the University this semester, ac- cording to a reps,:t given out by the office of the Dean of Women. This number inicludes 38 who are residents of the state of Michigan, 4 of Illinois, as well as representatives of Ohio, Washington, Wisconsin Colorado. Iowa, New York, and Indiana. The majority of these women have entered with advanced credit, 6 trans- ferring from the City College of De- troit. Among the colleges representedl are: University of Denver. Welleslyj college, Indiana university Ohio Wes-; leyan, Columbia, Indiana State Normal.} .Augustana college of Illinois, and lt. lollyoke college. Oily one foreign woman, Miss Doris Holdrup of Devonshire, England, has .entered the University this semester. Many others have applied for entrance' but they have been forced to wait un- til the fall term because of time need- ed to pass through the red tape of im- migrating. League President Improvtes Slowly Charlotte Blagdon, '25, president of the Women's League, who has been in the health service since Jan. 31 ff om an acute stroke, is doing as well ail can be expected, according to a re- port today from Dr. Margaret Sei.1 The stroke is believed to be due to embolus, and Miss lflagdon will prob- ably rest for some time, due to over fatigue and over work. Margaret Dixon, '25, vice president of the Women's Leaguv', is assuming the duties of president during the ill- ness of Miss Blagdon.
