Last week a trim young woman accosted an Army recruiting officer in New Orleans, said she wanted to volunteer. "I'm sorry," said Captain A. P. Miceli, "but we don't enlist women.

An English gardener, who landscaped the college's trim, stately campus back in the 18505, introduced the sport, and up to 1925 Haverford regularly sent teams to compete on England's playing fields.
