Anne Townsend of Merion, Pa., has been on every All-American field hockey team since the first (1923). She has been president of the U. S. Field Hockey Association from 1927 to this year, when she refused the nomination. Next summer she will take the All-American of 1932 on a tour of Europe. On the tour in 1923, the U. S. team lost all its games in England, played France to a 4-to-4 tie. During last week's play, the All-American team was robbed of money & jewelry, taken from their clothes in Rosemary Hall's locker room. Anne Townsend lost her wristwatch.

Field hockey, increasingly popular among U. S. girls' schools and colleges, has recently shown signs of becoming a popular men's game, as it was 50 years ago. Last year a Yale field hockey team played Vassar and lost, 2-to-1. Last fortnight a group of Princeton athletes who knew nothing about field hockey, owned no equipment, had practiced only once, planned to play Vassar. The game was arranged by a Princeton field hockeyist who knows Right-Halfback Alice Morris of the Vassar team. On the Princeton team, which calls itself the "Bengals." are : Stan Purnell, baseball captain and football right-halfback; Arch Brooks, lacrosse captain; John Rutherford, boxer; Hugh Boice, ice hockey captain.
