C, DECEMBER 11, 1919 Number 10 Musical Society Gives Recital CHRISTMAS CONCERT ENJOYED BY SMALL, BUT ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE The only disappointing feature of the Musical Society's Christmas recital on Friday evening was this, that the end came too soon after the beginning. Apart from this defect, the uncaptious critic found nothing but enjoyment, and the hearty applause of the audience implied that this feeling was general. The programme was an evenly-balance combination of orchestral selections and instrumental solos, with the old-fashioned songs, "forever new," in which every audience delights. All the solos won well- merited encores, as did the appealing melody of "Kentucky Babe," rendered by the Glee Club chorus. Other delightful vocal selections included those of Miss A. Healy, "Vale" and "The Blackbird"; Mr. W. H. Coates, "Songs of Araby" and "Annie Laurie"; and Miss K. Grant, "She Is Far from the Land" and "Do You Wonder Where the Fairies Are." The chorus also sang "They All Love Jack" and "The Song of the Vikings" in a spirited manner. A novel feature, which brought down the house, was the male double-quartette, which delighted its audience with the tragedy of "The Teacher and the Tack," followed by "The Bullfrog." Considering the small number of times that these men have been able to practise their combination, they evinced a remarkable command of the intricacies of part-singing. The instrumental solos were also worthy of high praise. Mr. V. Fink rendered "Cavatina" as a delightful violin solo; Miss L. Coates played "Andante" and "Murmure du Vent"; and Mr. Mahrer gave a beautiful 'cello solo of "The Swan." The work of the orchestra was of exceptional merit, the preponderance of violins giving the music an elusive charm. The selections presented were "Alita" (Losey), "Bluebird" (Kummer), "Salut d'Amour" (Elgar), and "La Rose." In short, Mr. Russell was altogether over-modest when he explained that this concert was merely in the nature of a test of the material for the Spring concert. As a matter of fact, the performers comported themselves like veterans. Mr. Russell's conducting is a model of that art, being efficient, but in no way ostentatious. The highly commendable manner in which Mr. Keith Shaw filled the role of "corner man" is also deserving of special mention. 'Varsity Ties With Mounties ON SNOW-COVERED FIELD THE SOCCER TEAMS BATTLE TO DRAW One of the finest exhibitions of soccer that has recently been staged was witnessed on Wednesday afternoon, when the University met the R.N.W.M.P. on Bridge Street grounds. Moreover, the 'Varsity had much the better of the argument, although the score was two all. The ball was in the Mounties' territory for the larger portion of the game, and but for the wonderful work in goal of the police goalie the score would have been decisively in favor of. the Blue and Gold. As their opponents were among the best teams in the city, the 'Varsity soccerites are correspondingly elated. The game itself was a really excellent exhibition, despite the snow and ice which coated the field to a depth of three or four inches. In the first half there was no score whatever, but the 'Varsity was having most of the play. With the start of the second period the Blue and Gold immediately got to work and repeatedly bombarded the Red goal. Time after time the ball went in, only to be stopped by the goalie or to hit the posts or crossbar. At length, however, after a fierce scramble, Denham slipped the ball over the line. Ten minutes from the end of the game the Police forwards ran the ball down the field and scored on an open goal. There was a good deal of discussion concerning this score, as the 'Varsity defense claimed that the ball had rolled over the dead line before it was crossed to the centre for the score. The goal was allowed. About three minutes later the Mounties took the lead, and the ice-sheathed ball slid through the goalkeeper's hands for a second score. With a very few minutes to go, the 'Varsity faced a hard task, but by a nice piece of foot-work by Baker and a splendid shot from Denham, the score was tied, with only half a minute to go. The whistle found the ball in mid-field. For the 'Varsity, Cameron on the right wing and Wolverton at right fullback were the stars of the game. Hall and Williams of the Police were as conspicuous as anyone on the field. The team to represent the 'Varsity in Victoria has now been selected, and the following men will represent the Blue and Gold at that time: Keenleyside Wolverton Swencisky Rushbury Mitchell Mark Cameron Denham Foley Jackson Stewart Arts Men Stage A Gay Evening ARRIVAL OF XYLOPHONE ADDS "PEP" TO THE HISTORIC FUNCTION For the first time in three years, in the history of the Arts dance, precedent was broken and tradition defied in the transference of the place of festivity from our own Auditorium to Lester Court. But this fact did not in any way hamper the enjoyment of the evening. With all due reverence to our stately, ancestral halls, we must confess we are unable any longer to create an artistic illusion therein, either by concealing the somewhat faded green woodwork with innumerable quantities of blue and gold bunting, or by eliminating the ink-stains upon the floor with a plentiful application of borax, with the vain hope of forcing said floor to coincide more perfectly with the feet of the dancers. For these reasons, therefore, the change was welcomed. Although complaints were voiced as to the ungenerosity of the orchestra, there were none as to the quality of the music. Shortly after 11 o'clock, the addition of a saxophone and a xylophone produced the required volume of sound and jazz calculated to give impetus to the present foolish generation in their efforts to trip the light fantastic. Under the excellent organization of Mr. Anders, the refreshments were served with a degree of efficiency much appreciated by students accustomed to the limitations of the'U.B.C. kitchen.

And in those days it came to pass that the teachers and preachers who dwelt in the land were gathered together; 2. And he that ruled over them arose, and spoke in a loud voice: 3. Hear ye, all ye professors that excel in learning, instructing the children of the land, 4. For f say unto thee, that he who hath in his heart that which causeth him to suffer anguish, even let that man speak. 5. Then arose a man weeping, and with great lamentation answered him, saying: 6. Behold, O King, a time approach- eth when the youth whom we teach, even the youth whom we love, shall depart from among us; 7. Verily, \ say unto you. he shall depart and contain himself in ways of sloth, and for two changes of the moon shall he do no work. 8. Thereat doth thy servant sorrow, with much lamentation, for the fear of the evil ways the youth shall learn. 9. Thereat the whole of the people were sore afraid and wept without ceasing, even to the going down of the sun. 10. Then arose the man of cunning, even lie of wise councils, and, addressing the people with soft words, spake thus, uttering with his voice winged words: 11. Behold now. if ye shall hearken unto my sayings, I, even I, shall show unto ye that way in which we shall cause the youth to labor diligently, yea, even though he be not always with us. 12. For we shall each say unto him. Son of Abraham, while thou dost sojourn in the far country, thus shalt thou do: Write for me on line waxen tablets, yea, and inscribe it with exceeding great care, all that thou thinkest concerning This or That—even as it shall move ye to ask, thus let the youth do. 13. And cause the youth to inscribe for thee 20 tablets for each man, and let this number be in no wise reduced. Thus shall the youth labor with great diligence, and at no time shall he fall prey to the vain thoughts of this world. Chapter 52 1. And lo! it came to pass as the wise man had said. And the youth of the land did much labor and toil, and the candle did burn at both ends, even while all others did rejoice and dance with great joy. 2. And behold, as the days waxed old the youth did still write: but soon came the time when his writing did cause his head to be loosened, and he did jump like a young goat. 3. But still did he write: and when the day of reckoning did come his writing, even the work of his hands, did he give to the teachers. 4. Then did the teachers who lived in the land read that which tne youth had written. But soon came the day of reckoning, and the wrath of the Lord descended on the teachers for that they had caused the youth to jump like a young goat. 5. For as the teachers read quickly that which the youth had written, behold their wits did leave them and they ("Continued on Page 6) .. the .. Clarke <& Stuart Co.

THE WINNING POINT SCORED IN LAST MINUTE —FINAL SCORE 30-29 On Saturday evening the U.B.C. senior basketball team won another close contest, when they defeated the Y.M.C.A. "B" team by a 30-29 score in the Normal gymnasium. For closeness, this game would be hard to beat. University finished the first half with the score 15-14 in their favor, and, though the "Y" tied the count several times during the last half, they could not forge ahead of the blue and gold. With only one minute to play, the score was even.' The "Y" committed a foul, and the honor of winning the game fell to Art Lord, when he dropped the ball in the basket from the free-shot line. Art is finding it hard to miss these shots this year. Capt. "Sid" Anderson and George Dixon were the leading point-getters for 'Varsity. Sid scored the majority of his baskets in the first half, while George scored all his points after the intermission. Following is the U. B. C. lineup, with the points scored: Guards, Lord (4) and Gross (4); centre, Buchanan (2): forwards, Dixon (8) and Anderson (12). U.B.C. VS. EX-BRITANNIAS On Wednesday evening the 'Varsity Intermediates defeated the ex-Britannia basketball quintette in an exciting league game in the B. II. S. gymnasium. The 'Varsity five worked well throughout. Although the size of the gym. did not permit much combination play, the forwards especially proved too fast for their opponents. The score at half time was 26-14. In the second half the play was very fast and even, each team gaining 13 points. The final score was 39- 27. 'Varsity lined up as follows: Guards, R. Hunter (4) and Peterson; centre, C. Mathers (10); forwards, C. Ternan (13) and R. Anderson (12). DEAN TUCKER ADDRESSES STUDENT BODY On Friday noon, December 5th, the student body was favored by an address from Dean Tucker, a pioneer of Vancouver, who is at present visiting our city as a leader in the Inter-Church Conference and the Forward Movement. Unfortunately, the notice of his coming was posted at a very late hour, which undoubtedly accounted for the poor attendance. Dean Tucker's story was exceedingly interesting. He told of how, years ago, he had first crossed the wild prairie* and sought the Pacific slope; of how he had been forced to return to Ontario for six months and await the completion of our first continental railroad: and of how he finally reached Vancouver, then a small town of barely two thousand population, where he was appointed rector of the yet unbuilt Christ Church. The struggle for existence was a bitter one, and Dean Tucker thrilled his audience as he told how valiant hearts had accomplished the impossible, and how, finally, the church was constructed, and a home for himself provided on the corner of Burrard and Georgia Streets. Dean Tucker ended with a strong appeal for the students to engage in some brand of social service.

Keenleyside AFTER THE EXAMS. ARE OVER Have yon ever visited Victoria? This is not introductory to a dissertation on the beauties of the Island scenery, or the superiority of Vancouver vim and energy. Nay, gentle reader, it is but an innocent-seeming query, leading to the natural conclusion: If not, take the opportunity this Christinas and join the army of invasion on the 19th, which plans to make the Capital City realize once and for all the existence of U.B.C. It is difficult to give a summarized statement of the advantages to be derived from the trip. Apart from the genuine entertainment afforded by the various games, there is the fostering of a feeling of partnership and co-operation in the nascent traditions of the University. Support for the teams wearing our colors is needed more, if possible, on a foreign strand than on the well-known field of Brockton Point. And then it must be remembered that such support is the most definite announcement possible to outsiders that U.B.C. students are ready to stand as a unit behind 'Varsity activities,—the final proof of the presence of at least a modicum of that elusive blessing—college spirit. The Victoria trip is one of the biggest events of the session. Are you going to miss it? Hp v *& "GREEN STOCKINGS" The announcement by the University Players' Club of their selection for the Spring play has been causing a certain amount of discussion among the students. The statement of any definite opinion is largely hindered by the lack of knowledge of the play. Through the kindness of the director of the Players' Club, the Editorial Board was given access to a copy of "Green Stockings," and the resultant opinions were highly favorable. The play is an English comedy by Mason—an author and playwright of some renown. It is as different as possible from .the production of last year, and should lend itself more easily to the interpretation of undergraduate talent. It is not in any sense a farce, but it is a clever and deliciously funny comedy. There are no scenes or lines to which exception could be taken, even by the most fastidious of critics. Although "Green Stockings" will not put the same premium upon facial expression and elocution as did the brilliant lines of Oscar Wilde, it will not be any simple play to stage, and the Players' Club will have no easy task in selecting suitable roles for their dramatic artists. Through the efforts of the publicity department of the Players' Club, the University will be given more details of the previous success of the plays than we can do at present. It is possible to note, however, that the Dramatic Society of McGill University has already staged "Green Stockings," and that it was considered a great success by our Eastern compatriots. Its only appearance in Vancouver w;is made in 1911, when Margaret Anglin played the role of Celia in the Vancouver Opera House, now knowri as the Orpheum. Discussion has already started—as last year—regarding the suitability of such plays for a University Society; and, while the Editorial Board does not offer any opinion.on the subject, we will gladly publish the ideas of other students, supporting either side of the question. EX CATHEDRA By the Publications Board You will note that the editor for the week no longer accepts entire responsibility for this column. If it were not for exams, and essays, the "Ubyssey" could really wish you all a Merry Christmas. As it is, we feel much too "grouchy." The Christmas card sale staged by the Y.W.C.A. was too great a success. The cards supplied only about one-half the students who desired them. Those who have given essays over the Christmas holidays: Sage, Eastman, Sedgewick, Wood, Henry. It is reported that Dr. Sedgewick recently burned another batch of uncorrected essays, after which the Doctor castigated several young ladies for not completing their compositions on time. Why is it that the administration office could not get out a timetable for the exams, that did not make 60 per cent, of the students report clashes? There is no excuse for such absolute carelessness. And why only one timetable for over nine hundred students? Did you notice T. J. Kearney & Co. sliding on the sidewalk outside their place of business on Willow Street? Nothing like boosting your own busi- Isn't Professor Russell "cute"?

December 11, 1919 THE UBYSSEY (QotYvspotibmn All correspondence must be written legibly, on one side of the paper only, and may be signed by a pen-name, but must be accompanied by name and class of the writer. Editor "Ubyssey." Dear Sir:—The following facts are of interest to anyone who enjoys the study of character: During the time when the snow was on the ground and the Freshies and others were indulging in snow fights, a certain professor of this University was walking up Willow Street. A well-meaning youth fired a white missile at him, but, unfortunately, his aim was not at all straight. Nevertheless, the professor became angry and proceeded to attack the students, using language that would have been unseemly in a Science Freshman. The mildest word used was "cad." Another professor passed a few minutes later, and he also was snowballed. He was a sport, and laughingly threw a few in return. "Get wise to yourself," Doc. FRESHETTE. Editor "Ubyssey." Dear Sir:—I am very glad to see that my recent letter to your widely-assimilated journal had such a profound effect. Already, I believe, two Away-from-Home societies have been formed, and, despite the discouragement hurled at them by Prof. Wood, I understand that much propaganda work has been done to advertise the peculiar excellencies of Chilliwack and Anyox. Victoria is as yet silent—carrying out the reputation of that metropolis for slow and sedate progress. But I am still unsatisfied, for no society has been formed to represent the locality to which I belong. (I, myself, am too bashful to take any initiatory steps.) But it is a shame that Kitsilano has no place in this great home-town movement. (And this despite the location of Dr. Sedgewick's dwelling.) Cannot something be done? Yours for progress in horn-blowing, HOMESICK. Editor "Ubyssey." Dear Sir:—With the announcement of the Spring play, we are again confronted with the perennial question, "What should be the aim of a University Dramatic Society?" Seventy-five per cent, of those students who are interested in things literary or artistic (possibly in their ignorance) answer, "that the aim of a University Dramatic Society should be to promote, as far as it is able, those things which tend to the elevation and purification of the dramatic art." Or, in other words, in making the selection, they should choose plays which are not the usual type of stock comedy, but should decide upon those which are the finer and more unusual examples of comedy and tragedy. For if a University Society refuses to present the "better things," who is going to do so? And this question is particularly apropos in our unlettered West. If the aim of our University Players' Club is not the elevation of the drama, then what excuse has it for its existence? The University Society should present Shakespeare, Sophocles, or some other master, whose works we cannot see by going to the Empress. The stock answer is, of course, that the; Players' Club cannot do justice to Shakespeare. Quite true! Anyone who attended last year's play is painfully aware that we have no Garrick, ana no Mrs. Sid- dons among us. We admit that the presentation of a "Midsummer Night's Dream" by the U.B.C. Players' Club would not be of the same standard of excellence as if presented by a regular Shakespearean company; yet a creditable performance might be staged even by our society. And if the executive is afraid of failing in the presentation, what do they think of last year's attempt? Ask anyone who sat through the first act of "The Importance . . ." whether or not it was a success. Nothing ever presented could have been more dull and insipid than Wilde's sparkling lines projected at the audience by nice, ordinary college boys. They were completely out of their element, and, knowing it, failed in producing any conviction in the minds of the audience. Shakespeare would be difficult, but not in the same way. In many of his plays the interpretation would be easier, because it would be more human and natural. At the worst, would it not be better to fail in attempting something worth while, rather than fail in the presentation of something only superficially clever? But we may as well save our words Apparently the Players' Club has been carried away by the desire for something sensational, and, as far as they are concerned, the drama, as an art, may take care of itself. Yours for the movies, THEDA BARA. URGE NECESSITY OF FURTHER AID U.B.C. returned men will be interested in a report published in last week's " 'Varsity," in which it states that a short time ago representatives from the various Canadian universities met in Ottawa to urge upon the Government the necessity of giving further aid to soldier students in the Dominion. The committee, according to the report, lobbied practically every member of the House, and, as a result, many of the honorable gentlemen definitely espoused the cause of the student veteran. As the matter stands, the question is in the hands of a committee, the majority of the members of which have expressed themselves as being favorably inclined toward the granting of additional assistance. The veterans at the University of Toronto, in order to place their requirements in a tangible light, have recommended that a system of loans be established, in which payments would commence five years after graduation. It is evident that the men must keep organized in order to advise those in authority of their attitude toward vital matters affecting them. Returned men in the U. B. C. should join and boost our own organization. If a man stands in no financial need himself, he should show his interest in supporting the need of his less fortunate comrade-in-arms. Join now. Either President Alex. Mun- roe, Secretary Honeyman, or Treasurer Traves will be glad to hear from any soldier student in the University.

AND HAWAII The first shipment of cattle from Canada to the Hawaiian Islands left Vancouver Saturday morning for San Francisco, where it will board the steamship Lurline for Kahalui, Island of Maui. The shipment consisted of 18 pure-bred Holsteins and two pure-bred Jerseys, and fs composed of selected animals of the finest breeding and show- yard type from the leading herds of the Province of British Columbia. The entire order was selected by Professor J. A. McLean, of the University of British Columbia, and every animal lias been chosen with the utmost care. The request for this Canadian stock is a direct outgrowth of the visit which Professor McLean made to the territory of Hawaii last summer for the purpose of judging the livestock at their exhibition. THE SCIENCE DANCE A meeting of the Science Men's Un- dergrad. was held recently to discuss the forthcoming dance. After some discussion, the following plans were approved: The dance will be held in the Hotel Vancouver on Friday, February Kith, 1920, and. as in the case of the Arts dance, the number of tickets will be limited. No single tickets will be sold, each ticket admitting a couple. The best orchestra obtainable will be procured, and a splendid supper will be served in the grill-room. No pains will be spared to make everything as complete as possible, and this, the first dance held by the Science Men, will be a real University event and a credit to our institution. Evening dress will be entirely optional. STANFORD Those University students who intend remaining in the city over the Christmas holidays will do well to remember the Rugby game between the University team and the representatives of Stanford University of California. The game with the University will be played at Brockton Point on December 27th. This will be the most important game of the year, and a good representation of the students should be on hand to cheer our team to victory over the American invaders.

I ast a Sophomore, which is very wise persons, why was exams and he said they was "sands raisens" which they say in France when they mean they is no cause for it. He new what he was tauk- ing about, Mertel. They is one fello in this University what thinks he is smart but I wish I could find him. On Thurs. he put up a sine what said that there was 3 in. of ice on Trout Lake and that all lectures was cancelled until further notis so I stayed away from school until yesterday and everey day I would sleep until noon and then get up and go skateing. It was grate. But yesterday I found that they was classes as per usual and that the notis was a joke and that I was marked absent everey day.

But T am going to fool them. You no what I am, Mertel. Merry Xmas and Happy Xew Year. TOE. THE COLLEGE CAT The dreams of future greatness, that I had when but a kitten, were rudely disillusioned, and myself unkindly smitten. Alas! my youthful memories have suffered saddest fate; the fierce, unruly cat is evidently out of date. Let dogs delight in strife and noise, and chasing vulgar rats; I only must associate with aristocratic cats. For me the gentle cream-jug smiles, and. as far as I am able, I utilize the crumbs that fall from Mr. Tansley's table. And if, while in the "Better 'Ole," my nose acquires a smutch, then Mr. Tansley comes along to banish it with "Dutch." He holds me firmly in his hands, does this most kindly male, and trims my whiskers very straight, and curls my graceful tail. They praise my gentle nature, such reputation is my doom; I may not hurt M. PERRIN, Manager — 20 years with the leading Hotels ot Europe and America BARRON HOTEL RESTAURANT A DIFFERENT PLACE Often you hear it said: "The Barron is different!" MAYBE it's the quality of the cuisine. Perhaps it's the superiority of the music. Again, it may be the dance floor—or the atmosphere that pervades—or the character of the people. PERHAPS it is all three—for the BARRON is different, and that is why this expression has become so respected.

But in the stack-room's mouseless aisles I solitary lag, with gratitude my tail acquires an almost canine wag. My childhood's dreams come back to me, with visions bright of fame, when janitors should tremble at the whisper of my name. Let other cats in distant climes condemn my humble mien; they've never had their pictures in the college magazine. PUSSY. THE ALUMNI DANCE The annual dance given by the Alumni Association is to be held on Friday, January 9th, from 9 o'clock until 2, in Lester Court. A ticket has been provided for every undergraduate, and these will be on sale at the University at noon on each of the last three days of the term. Outsiders will be provided for by means of. special invitations from the various members of the Alumni Association. Why is Mr. Wood so proud of the fact that he has never visited North Vancouver.

We sell clothes for young men and men who stay young EXCHANGE During the last decade, the University Dramatic Society has won an enviable reputation in the production of the drama. A glance over the plays produced—every one of which was a decided success^—will show the standard maintained. For the four years, 1903- 1912, Shakespearean masterpieces were produced: "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "As You Like It," "Twelfth Night," and "The Taming of the Shrew." Previous to this the Ladies' Society had staged the mythological play, "Pigmaleon and Galatea," and even even before that equally well-known plays had been produced, including Goldsmith's "She Stoops to Conquer," and "The Good-Natured Man." —University of N. 1?. SIGMA DELTA KAPPA REORGANIZES With the adoption of an entirely new constitution at a business meeting last week, throwing open the membership to all students interested, who send in their names to the secretary, the Sigma Delta Kanpa has entered upon the second stage of its endeavor to stimulate literary discussion and public speaking. Formed with the aim of supplementing rather than rivalling the work of the existing Lits., the society has adopted as its policy the promotion of "literary discussion." Owing to certain radical changes in the constitution, a new election of officers was considered necessary, and the following were appointed: Honorary president, Mr. Sage; president, Mr. A. Swencisky; vice-president, Miss Patricia H. Smith; secretary-treasurer, Mr. T. P. Peardon. Two positions on the executive yet remain to be filled. MEN'S LIT. A short business meeting of the Men's Lit. was held on Wednesday, December 3rd, with Mr. Rive in the chair. The executive was instructed to purchase the medals for the oratorical contest. It was decided that ten cents admission should be charged for this. It will take place on Friday, January 16th. The proposed league for a triangular debate with Idaho and Oregon was discussed. The meeting decided to take on the agreement submitted by the two American universities, the first debate to take place in the term 1920-21. This year we have a dual debate with Washington. The president then outlined the first part of next year's programme. There will be a mock parliament on January 7th, a debate between Arts '22 and Agric. on the afternoon of January 14th, and the final inter-class debate on January 21st. The UBYSSEY will nozc hibernate until January 8th, 19.20. A perfect fit guaranteed. Where quality counts, we win.
