Banks Hailed Superior In 'Plough And Stars9
• »'»' •>»nun»-
By Joan Kidwell There is a farm legend which
goes "If you draw a circle of chalk on a barn floor, swing a hen
around in the air and then set her down in he circle, she won't be
able to cross the line. She is a prisoner in the chalk
circle."
How aptly such a tale describes ihe situation in Sean 0'Casey's i
lay. "The Plough and the Stars,"
•.ted last Thursday. Friday. and Saturday by the Longwood
Players.
This drama is the portrayal of people swung around in the circle of
environment and bound by noth- irt? more tangible than a chalk line
— the tenement buildings In which they live and their
self-im-
igr.orance of any fuller life than that involved in alternating
spiteful fighting among themselves.

Ragsdale gave an excellent Inter- pretation of the bartender—not so
much through speech as through actions and expressions. Bobbie
Caples as Rosie Redmond was ap- pealing but not exactly the prosti-

The one character not bound by the circle is the consumptive child.
Mollser, played by Elaine Lohr. Though tuberculosis is the result
of tenement conditions, Elaine raised Mollser beyond the circle and
the people therein. When she dies, it is by the hand of God and not
by the war.
Patsy Ann Scott, as Mrs. Gogan. participates in the war when it
suits her pleasure. She is thrilled with the thought of seeing men
"hangin' at th' end of a rope . . . eyes bulgin' an' . . . legs
twistin' and Jerkin'." Patsy Ann was con- vincing and comical in

Miss Applebee Is kmm.i as the starter of women's Held the United
States. In the summer of 1901, at tin : the head of the physical
edut ment at Vassal College, Mis; I
demonstrated the fli ' women's field hockey in this coun- try in
back of Hemingway Oym- : aslum at Harvard
The same year she del his game to several other ni alleges. Because
the sport was
veil liked by the students and pro lessors, hockey began to
grow.
In 1905 Miss Applebee became leal education instructor for
IBryn Mawr College, holding this po ; sition for 25 years. During
this time, eight teams organized clubs around the Philadelphia
area.
The first team from the United States went to E n g 1 a n d in 1920
where they saw a real game of hockey for the first time.
Hockey Association Founded The next year, England was in-
vited to play in this country. At a banquet held during this visit,
the United States Field Hockey As- sociation was founded.
Two years later Miss Applebee organized the first hockey camp in
this country. Twenty-five campers were enrolled for each of the
periods. Today she directs this same hockey camp which draws an
average enrollment of 2f>0 school, college, and club
players.
Miss Applebee was recognized early by the USFHA when honorary
membership in this organization was given to her. She is also
honor- ary editor of the Eagle, the official publication of the
USFHA. On the 59th anniversary of her introduc- tion of hockey to
this country, she was again honored.
