FORUM DEBATE MONDAY ®iji> Hbyaa^g Published Twice Weekly by The Publications Board of The University of British Columbia FORUM DEBATE MONDAY Vol. XXI. VANCOUVER, B. C, FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 1939 No. 21 HEADLINE From Canadian University Press FEATURES By ROSS MUNRO C.U.P. Correspondent OTTAWA—The international wheat conference in Winnipeg next week ls considered here to be a meeting of paramount importance. The whea^ problem ranks with the railways and national defence as major Issues for the next parliament, starting January 12, and any decisions reached at the Winnipeg parley will carry considerable weight in any debate in the commons. The Oanadlan farmer and urban dweller are both vitally concerned with the growing of wheat. Everyone In the Dominion ls In the wheat business whether they like it or not. While the prairie farmer harvested a good crop this year and ls being paid 80 cents a bushel for No. 1 Northern at Fort William, the government is losing more than 20 cents a bushel because of the guaranteed price and the fact that world wheat prices are flirting with the 50-cent-a- bushel mark. It ls generally conceded that the fixed price saved the west this year but in the saving process the rest of the Dominion paid for it through the Dominion treasury to the tune of about $45,000,000. Agricultural authorities here clearly see that this situation cannot continue and some express the hope that a solution might be found ln the establishment of a minimum International price for wheat. This would provide a stable price and render the export farmer Independent of the political uncertainties of public support and the price fluctuations in the world market. There is no chance the Winnipeg conference could establish such a price but the groundwork may be laid for an International fixed price structure in the wheat trade. Falling this there is an opinion ln some Informed circles here, that the only alternative ls a radical revision of Canadian agricultural policy ln the west. They feel that the wheat question cannot continue much longer ln the critical stage ln which lt has existed for the past eight years. While government officials here said they were unconcerned about the recent sale of 20,000,000 bushels of United States wheat to Britain, some members are looking Into the transaction to determine If the loss of the slx-cent-a-bushel wheat preference had anything to do with the matter. It ls believed that the U.S. wheat was sold at a much lower price than that offered by Canadian exporters but questions likely will be asked early ln the session about this deal and Agriculture Minister Oardlner will be requested to inform the house why Canada did not get the business. With such grave Issues of public Importance, parliament will scarcely be able to prorogue before the King and Queen arrive May 20. Adjournment will be taken and the members will return late in June for another stretch. The impression has been growing that a general election will be held next fall but the rumors are being discounted ln some quarters. Robert Finn, Liberal member who has represented Halifax ln the commons for 25 years and ls close to the cabinet, told this writer the other day that he did not think there would be a general election until 1940. STUDENT ON VACATION INJURED AT MOOSE JAW Dorothy McCully. a member of Alpha Gumma sorority, met with an unfortunate accident during the holidays and as a result will be unable to return to her work at the University tills term. While tobogganing near her home nt Moose Jaw, Sask., she fractured her back and is now confined to tlie hospital at Moose Jaw. However, her many friends hope to see her return next fall.

DISCIPLINE COMMITTEE TO PROBE GEOLOGY LAB DAMAGE VALUABLE SPECIMEN DESTROYED BY MEMBERS OF GEOLOGY I CLASS Shortly hefore the Christmas holidays, a sample of quartz crystals, helon^iuH to the (feology Museum, was smashed up. The Discipline Committee is at present taking steps to prevent any recurrence of such vandalism. " Serenaders " Hard At Work On Production Never a dull moment! That's what is in store for Musical Society members in the aeven weeks which remain before the curtain rises on "Serenade" ln the University Theatre on February 22. Rehearsals, practices, more rehearsals He ahead. Yet In spite of the prospect of time sacrifled and a great deal of hard work, those taking part ln the production seem filled with enthusiasm, and fairly panting with the desire to make the show a success. While the chorus begins the process of familiarizing itself with its songs, and the orchestra makes practices more frequent, committee men whisper in dark corners of the Barren Room, discussing plans for the ticket sales and advertizing campaigns. Osborne Studios, again in charge of building sets ,1s already striving to solve the problem of converting the dark, old stage Into a -corner of sunny .Spain, und If present plans mutcrlull/e, the first-night audience will receive a pleasant surprise from the stage-crew's efforts. Try-outs for principal parts will take place this week, and the cast announced at the beginning of next. FELLOWSHIPS TO BE GIVEN NEXT SUMMER The Beit Fellowships for Scientific Research has given notice that the Twenty-sixth Election of Fellows will take place on or about July 7, 1939. Only three Fellowships will be awarded and applications must be received on or before April 6, 1939. Application forms, and all Information may be obtained, by letter only, addressed to the Rector, Imperial College, South Kensington. London, S.W. Any additional information may be obtained at the Registrar's office. FIRST FILM SOCIETY SHOWING LAST NIGHT "Canadian Rockies Holiday," a technicolor production which won the Amateur Photoplay prize for 1938 was presented last night at the University Theatre. ONLY VERSION. This picture was a joint showing of the National Film Society and the University Film Society and is sponsored by the C.P.R. The only version in existence, it is being shown by Its producer, O. H. Jones, who will travel with lt until lt is finished. Mr. Jones ls ln town until Friday night when he will show the film at the Vancouver Hotel, supplying his own music, commentary, and sound effects. The program last evening, to which the Amateur Photography Clubs were invited, included also two short features. These were "Mississippi Barrage" and "Woodwinds", the latter a musical. "YELLOW CRUISE." The University Film Society has changed the night of its showings from Monday to Friday. The first under this new schedule will be "Yellow Cruise", describing a trip through Asia by a party of French scientists. It, has been acclaimed as one of the best travel pictures ever made. WORTH $60 The sample, a gift from the University of Toronto worth about $80 , was completely destroyed. A* It is extremely difficult to replace specimens of this type, the Discipline Committee feels that the situation requires Immediate aotlon. It Is reported that the Geology I class was responsible-for the dun- age. A number of students of this class, who failed to get the required Held samples, broke up the museum specimen, Intending to uae It instead. Carson McOulre, A.M.S. prealdent, will speak to that class at 9:30 Monday morning, FOSSILS STOLEN This ls not the flrst time that specimens have been destroyed or taken from the Oeology Museum. Last year a collection of fossils disappeared under similar circumstances. It cost the University about $120 to replace this collection. Jack Davis, head of the Discipline Committee, pointed out that there should be, and would be, more such collections on the campus, if such vandalism did not exist. TOTEM DEADLINE SET FOR JAN. 15 The last iap in the race against time for all Totem photographs has been readied with the opening of the Spring term, and it has been announced by the editor of the Totem that all student photographs must have been taken by the 15th day of January. It is urgently hoped that students will rally round, and show perhaps a spaqk of enthusiasm in getting this tedious business over with. The first group of studenta who are requested to hasten Is the Senior class—seniors of each and every faculty. SCIENCEMEN LAO. Third year Arts and all Commerce- men are well behind ln their unofficial schedule, and the entire Science faculty is so far behind the Artsmen they are beginning to lose their renowned reputation for "esprit de corps." Aggie students are not doing too badly, but many have yet to be taken. Along with this Faculty ls the class of Public Health Nurses and Nurses. who apparently desire to have their pictures in the Totem but do not know how to get same taken. For their sake, and for the sake of those who may have forgotten, all that is necessary is a telephone call to Artona Studio (Seymour 5737) thereby- making an appointment, and following this wicked step a rapid visit to the studio on Oranville Street! According to the staff the book is well under way, and faint possibilities are appearing J;hat the annual may appear on the Campus on time. But the entire schedule for the production of the book can be thrown out of balance by students neglecting to have their photographs taken NOW. It might be noted that all members of all Fraternities and Sororities (Women's Fraternities) must have their photographs taken, unless he or she has already been taken this Session or last. The editor has pointed out to the Ubyssey that this story is intended as an invitation, a hope, a threat, and a plea. The point that he reiterated was that the deadline for all pictures, Artsmen of any years except Frosh (who are finished). Aggies of all years, C'ommercemen of all years, Sciencemen of all years, and Nurses of all years has been set as January 15th, 1939, Two THE UBYSSEY Friday, January 6, 1939 THE UBYSSEY Issued twice weekly by the Students' Publication Board of the Alma Mater Society of the University of British Columbia.

Editorials 1039 In the usual New Year's manner we look forward to the coming' year and t-j those problems which the coming year will solve. For U.B.C. 1939 promises two new buildings! The new year may bring the students the Union Building of which they have dreamed for the past fifteen years. 1939 may bring relief to tlie fortunate scientists who are trying to do post graduate research side by side with elementary lab students. Tbe New Year may bring the first two or three years of a medical faculty to the university. But the promises of the coming year are only fruits of last year's work. The possibility of two buildings i.s only the result of many hours of effort on the part of a small group of university men. If any progress is made during 1939 it is only the result of the work done in 1938. Therefore we must not be too satisfied with whatever we accomplish this year but look forward to the time when 1940 will be the new year and will bring us only those things for which we have worked in 1939. UNIVERSITY TO GIVE SYMPHONY BR'DGASTS The University's flrst broadcast this year will be heard January 8, Sunday afternoon at 5. over CBR. This Is the Initial program ln a symphonic series arranged by the Department of University Extension. HISTORY OF MUSIC. The new broadcasts will differ in at least one respect from standard symphonic programs. Their basis is the chronological development of modern music, from Bach In the 18th century to Stravinsky and the present day. Each program will feature representative work of separate composers who have contributed to this development. Sunday's music is by Johann Sebastian Bach, regarded as the founder of modern musical composition. There will b< selections by full orchestra, ur*ran, piano, solo voice and large chorus. Subsequent programs are arranged on ' he same pattern, offering a variety of musical form; large and small orchestra, chorus, vocal and instrumental solo. Recordings are supplied by the Carnegie Music Library, which provides an immense range of program material. The series will be broadcast from the campus studio in the Agriculture building. TOTEM NOTICE A meeting of the Totem staff will be held on Tuesday, January 10th at 12.30 in Arts 108. All members must attend, and any others interested in working on the annual are asked to come.

I Diamonds, Watches, Personal Gifts FIRBANK and LANGE USE OUR CREDIT PLAN Seymour and Dunsmuir Opp. tbe Bus Depot I This happy time, the opening of the Spring term, the beginning of a new year, and a new CABBAGES life und all that sort AND KINGS of thing appears to form an excuse for human beings falling into evil ways, and to cause conversation to do- generate into a meaningless Jumble ol trite witticisms, and boasting Jests regarding some unfortunate man's ability or Inability to partake of the holiday fare. We are not concerned, of course, with anyone's ability or inability to partake gracefully of the holiday fare, but we are deeply Interested in investigating reasons for the appalling change In the usually brilliant conversational powers of our many friends. You must have heard Tommy exclaim at that tea, "Did you see Ernie Thls-and-That on Christmas Eve?" or possibly, "Oad what a night, why am I alive?" Now we don't believe that Tommy was really Interested in whether any one did see Ernie This-and-That, but rather we hold that he was attempting to cast a slur on the unimpeachable record of the virtuous Ernie Thls-and-That. Now that's bad. Then again do we suppose that Tommy honestly wondered why he wus alive? No. For to begin with said Tommy offered no thanksgiving to the Supremo Power that rescued him from death's Jaws under some table, and besides he wus only leading up to supplying some gauche Inquirer with the Information thut he, Tommy, had uctually been under a table. The supposition, then, ls that present day youth are fascinated by both hearing and narrating tales of dire dissipation during holiday functions. I trust that you will draw your own conclusions. We have ours. And now to turn our thoughts to the merry New Year. What does it hold for us? Perhaps FORTUNE'.* it gives a new toothbrush, u trip to New Westminster, u smaller deficit ln our term's budget, a legacy of three thousand bus tickets, u visit to a new boiler factory, and a holiday during the Summer in a mine. You see, who can tell? Or possibly like the two-headed God Janus we will turn the eyes of one head to the past year and the eyes of the other to this year, and then we will Just sit and look, and say things and think. Then you must have heard about the Foo-Foo bird that spends its time running. But one leg is shorter than the other. Consequently it spends Its time running on a mountain. It has been running for two thousand years, and will be running for another thousand or so. It Just goes round and round! The Now Year would be nothing mote to It than another round. That's what we found. There's another important bird that is usually mentioned at this time of the year. It is a perfect example of worthlessness. We refer to the Mug-Wump. It sits on a fence with its Mug on one side and its Wump on the other, or else it flies, but it can only fly backwards, in order that it may not see where it is going but rather where lt has been. This bird is bad. It i.s amazing, too, to see what aome people will do when they have to. We have some very MUDDLIN' firm friends from the THROUGH Capital City of this Province, and we naturally found that they returned to the Garden of America for Christmas. But the astonishing thing Is in the methods that some adopted for transporting themselves to the ship. Two female members of this University decided to travel by the Beastly Electric. They caught the bus from the campus where they apparently reside. At Sasamat one discovered her ticket had not travelled with her. She decided instantly to return in pursuit of the truant ticket whilst the other student decided insantly to continue on her way with the baggage of both. But her heart quailed at the sight of the luggage which she was appointed to carry. What she did makes me tremble. She accosted two strange men, and asked that they carry her bags! Which act the Hooking _Badituart)B At New Year's I find that looking backwards ls much pleasanter than looking forwards. When I think about the resolutions I made so optimistically—how I was going to do much more work, how I was going to stop sitting around ln the Pub and how I was going to make this column really Interesting—I feel quite depressed. As to the column, a fellow sufferer of 1933 expresses my feelings with great insight in the following poem: A sigh, a sob, a weary snivel, I strive to write this utter drivel, Knowing that when they read this chaff My nearest, dearest friends will laugh Proclaiming thus to all about That they at least can ferret out A line or two provoking mirth. Where others And a dreadful dearth of humour. And yet a dreary comfort this— When others boo and even hiss My efforts on a higher plane Of humour than the common vein, And others take pains to show Their scorn of humour rather low, Oh be It high and pure as air, Or broad and low as Victory Square, They grumble. Here ls someone else who had her troubles. Fanny Freshette, a composite of all the freshettes of 1933 confided the following to her diary: "I guess this will be longer this month on account of I'm ln love at last, my brother saying I go round looking like a sick goldfish half the time, a mean way of making sport of my passion and to think that I never used to know what true love was about. "Well, lt all started with Speed taking me to Jane's party and me being quite thrilled but no sooner did we get there than there was that little cat, Sally Brown, looking so heavenly ln a blue dress that you would never know what a nasty soul she has and away went Speed and there I was left on the couch trying to appear gay, playing with the cat and watching them out of tlie corner of my eye, all the time, her sickly smile at him and closing her eyes when they danced which was enough to turn your stomach. "Finally I couldn't stand it any more and went down to the basement to be alone with my misery and the cat when what should I trip over than something that turned out to be the boy what brought Sally and the flrst thtog I knew there we were petting the cat and telling each other our troubles. "It was very warm and comfortable down there and when we finally came up everyone else had gone and then I noticed his lovely white teeth and his eyes and then we got the giggles and laughed all the way home and I'm going to the basketball game with him and a walk and his fraternity dance which all goes to show that you can never tell what's going to happen.

If anyone wants to know why I am where I am today, I can only say that lt took sheer courage.

But I'm sorry now that I didn't go out into the wet—lt was raining— with the revellers. For some very interesting little anecdotes are being told of the Glorious First. The students can hardly be blamed, I suppose, for relaxing a bit after two weeks of concentrated mental effort. But there is quite a gap between relaxation and the name you might give to some of the things that were done under guise of ringing ln the foo. It seems that football players—and one or two ln particular—were usually active that night. Olve even an average backfleld man a' shot of Coke, and he goes belselk-hammers down partitions, wrestles with Commissionaires, and holds lengthy telephone conversations with strange women. All ln the spirit of good clean fun and adventure. If Mary Ann could have staggered Into any of a dozen of the better downtown hotel suites between dark and dawn, she would have had enough material to write a lengthy "Memoirs of a Dirt Columnist."

The friend had a sister and being a loving brother said good-night to sister who was about to go to sleep. Not to be outdone, guest also wished sister good-night. But sister had a friend, all done up in hair-net, bobby pins, cold crcatn, already to get her beauty sleep too. So president-guest was introduced to stranger. Came the dawn and breakfast. But president-friend puzzled for a few minutes over the feminine guest sans hair-hardware, and on suddenly recognizing her, exclaimed, "Oh, so- you're the girl 1 met in bed last night!" ....

Who smirked out loud? * * * With the Union Building rapidly becoming a realty, a seething discontent ls becoming ap- UNION parent among clubs BUILDING. and organizations around the campus. Perhaps It's none of my business- there are some who will say so—but a lot of the clubs on this campus have no right to seethe or anything else. If every club could have a room ln the new building, over 100 rooms would be required. Organizations which can hold their meetings In lecture rooms will probably have to keep on doing so. But others need space—and need lt badly —and they should have first choice. The Musical Society, for Instance, keeps Its properties and has Its headquarters ln a very inadequate space.

Of course thero is the minor matter of defeating the Mernlomu Rugby-Football Club, but thn the student oval-slingers refuse to be perturbed about the alleged scoring punch of the orange and black squad. And the rugged ruggers might well* have reason to feel cocky with the return of several Injured stars and with light treatment at the hands of old man Exams. So 2.30 tomorrow (happy old Sat., Jan. T) will see the return and reunion of several Thundering Birds, who were rendered "hors de combat" last year. Victoria's pride and joy Vic Moore, has successfully overcome his balloon knee aliment and will hook between Tom Robson and Jim McCam- mon to form one of the huskiest and toughest front lines in the league. Al Gardiner the "Calgary cowboy", teams with Jerry Mason to add weight and punch to the second row. Al is also making his Initial appearance ln many moons owing to a broken shoulder. Noel Harrison plays rover In the rear rank while the -wing forward spots are .covered by Ranjl Mattu, the "shifty shadow," and Jim Harmer. As usual much debating and bickering was ln order among the moguls before the Inclusion of Sandy Lang in the line-up. Said Sandy and the versatile Bas. Robinson cause the selection committee more headaches t,nd controversy than the New Years and the League of Nations combined. As usual Ted McPhee takes his old spot at five-eighths and will have Waddy Robertson for running mate. Waddy has been turning in marvelous performances on the U.B.C. team of recent games and receives a long deserved break. Harry Lumsden holds down the other inside position while wings are rangy Tod Tremblay and Strat Leggat. The Invincible Johnny Bird moves to fullback to complete the roster in what coach Carey hopes to bo a winning combination. Ernie Teagie.-'he of the many positions has received a suspended sentence from the dean, but there is still hope "Energy Ernie" will see action later ln the season. Alan Oardlner, above, Is one of the main reasons for the prevalent New Year optimism being shown on the rugger front. Saturday's stadium tussle Is his first appearance since his shoulder injury two months ago. ItllllllMlltlltHIIHIIIHItMIIMUMtHII lllllllllllllll CO-ED SPORTS By MYRNE NEVISON |„„>,I, HIHIIIIIIIttMlllH'IMHIIHHtllHHHHHtlHMIIMIHHI A snappy new schedule has been drawn up for this term's Intramurals. Outstanding among the new Items are the mixed teams—yes sir, the boys and gals will play volleyball and ping-pong together for their respective classes! The former game will be played every Monday at noon. Class badminton and sorority badminton will be played during January and February, while Phrateres are scheduled to get under way every Friday at 9:30. For further details of the new classes and Intra-murals, hop over to the gym and get yourself a schedule from the Instructor's office. Basketball Coach Bob Osborne has issued the following declaration: "In future, any girl who misses a practice will be temporarily suspended from the team. We've gi»t to get down to work now—no more fooling." Monday, January 9, is gala night for the hooping gals, who have promised to fill Bob Brown's gym with rooters. Varsity passes will be accepted at all games from now on, so all out to cheer the co-eds on their winning way! And guess what the gals are starting to do! Yes, Genevieve, it's riding. On real horses too, maybe. This horse-killing game is supposed to be slimming, good for the figure, and all that Mni-y Ann kind of stuff. But do you know what happens to little girls who do such things? They spread! Yes indeedy, they do. And then, and then, and then, as Danielle of the talkies says, "Eet won't be fun tor you but ohhhh, I shall enjoy eet." Upsetting the poor gee-gee! Fudge. U.B.C. - CLUB PLAY ON SAT. Tommy Roxburgh's Rowing Club ruggers who hud the temerity to defeat the Thunderbirds 4-3 earlier In the season, will run up against a revenge-bent U.B.C. squad ut Brockton Point on Saturday in the first game of a doubleheader programme commencing at 2.00 p.m. The last meeting of the two teams produced some fierce competition with the collegians finally bowing out gloriously after keeping the Rowers in check throughout three- quarters of the game. LINEUP BETTER This week the campusmen will have an Improved lineup, what with two or three additions to the scrum, as a result of the return of Moore and Gardiner to the flrst string side, Andy Jenkins, who deputized for Vic Moore when the latter was Injured last term, will be hooking for the Blue and Gold devils tomorrow, while Evan Davies, Fred Billings and Alan Wallace are further Inclusions who are Just on the threshold of Thunderbird fame. The back division will be the same as that which aided ln the downfall of New Westminster Just before the exams with the possible exception of Ormy Hall who has not been around much lately. LIN0PH0T0 FLASH We tried to find a cut of Orme Dier. hockey-playing Sports Editor, who spent his Christmas holidays improving his vocabulary away up In the woods. But Ormle was shy and didn't have a picture, so we bring you a linophoto flash of Assistant Editor Buz Robinson hot on the trail of Mr. Dier about 10 a.m. Thursday. Thursday is pr«ss day, and Orme hadn't yet arrived in town. MELON SQUAD ON THE ROAD MINUS STARS MATHESON. PALLAS AND GROSS OUT By LIONEL SALT "They're here, they're there, they're everywhere," (unquote) that Varsity basketball team of ours, and If they ever decide to settle down, then the registrar might be able to tell us the score. At the present moment those stumblebums, affectionately referred to as "melon-tossers," are giving the colleges of the North West an examination to see whether the University can afford to let them in the new league that might be formed. EXCLUSIVE This new league Idea, advanced by the Varsity sport dept. is a slap In the face to the Inter-City League, who, ln t^ie opinion of the Athletic Board charge too much to let Varsity students ln free. Counting the last five exclusive flashes from across the border, the boys of tho Blue and Gold (where have I heard that before) are even- Stephen with a win and a loss to their credit. This is more than satisfactory when we consider the weakened condition the tcam was in when they pulled out. SATAN STRIKES AGAIN That "old debbil," Ineligibility, cracked down with mighty force and plucked three of the Varsity regulars, Ted Pallas, Brud Matheson, and Doug Gross all felt the power of the demand enforced by the Students' Council for brains as well as brawn (no offense boys), and will confine their efforts to their books. Pallas nnd Matheson wero first-string members of last year's squad and their experience will be missed by Maury and tho boys. Pallas has been worried from the start of the season about his studies, and has threatened dally to leave the team. Now he has to. But the greatest blow to student hopes for another winning combination was the news the Brud Matheson, Ran Matthlson's running mate, didn't make the grade. Student hopes sank as low as an after-Xmas bank account, and when Doug Gross, new arrival to the squad was also banned from further participation, the slaughter was complete. PLENTY PRESSURE With the North West tour on now, and a tough schedule ahead ln the Inter-City League, where Varsity is in third place, pressure will be on SOCCERITES TO MEET KERRIES ON SATURDAY MCMILLAN BACK FOR NEW YEAR DEBUT Their month-long -winter layoff now a thing of the past, Varsity soccermen crash back into action again on Saturday, travelling to Kerrisdale Park to take on the strong Kerrle XI ln a postponed league encounter. Manager Dick Clarke anticipates that practically his whole squad will be ready to go. A bumper New Year present was handed the manager recently when he learned that Rod McMillan, brilliant young rookie forward, will in all probability be In the lineup for this week's game. McMillan, you will remember, broke both writs ln a game in November, but Is reported to be all ready to go again. Hts return may make all the difference to the collegians' attack which has been very much of the hit-and-miss type for the last four games or so. In a week or so further activity v/iil take place on the roundball front. The much-heralded trip to Seattle ls not far off and the boys are putting on an extra training spurt ln order to give a good account of themselves ln the Sound City. Almost dally practices and workouts are the order of the New Year's activity program. Jack Rush, filling tho centre-half position ably for the first year, is troubled with n blister, but is expected to bo back in the lineup for Saturday, while the rest of tho team la ln top condition. JUNIORS The Junior team, product of Manager Clarke's creative genius, is also scheduled to play at Vahsity soccer pitch this Saturday, against the I Navy, at 2.30 in the afternoon. Some difficulty has been met with lately by Manager Clarke In raising such a team, but the following players are asked to turn out: Logan, Hooper, Stewart, Clark, Harrower, Hyodo, Gordon, Hunden, Walker, McBurney, Mahood, Ferguson, Nlcaldo and Minichlello. TRACKMEN TO SEE THE WORLD; GATHER SOON the remaining eight men on the squad, and the rookies must decide the fate of student hopes. If Doug Livingstone can continue his flashing game, and Doug Alexander, rookie southpaw, lives up to expectations the boys will be In there fighting. Otherwise, you might as well throw your student pass away. Puckmen See Action; Play N.W. Cubs Tonite at Forum Recognized as strong contenders in the Senior Amateur League despite a disappointing start. Varsity puckmen will swing Into their first New Year action tonight at the Forum against the strong Westminster Cubs. The game will be tho aecond on the doubleheader programme to be staged at the Hastings Park rink, and will start at approximately 9.00 p.m. after the Dumont-Air Force clash. DIER BACK Orme Dier, hard-fighting first-string centre-man, will be back to take over his old spot after a two-week sojourn in the woods, and the inclusion of the "scribbling streak" will do much to strengthen the collegians' offensive. Previous meetings between the two teams have seen two victories for the heavy Cub sextette, the last one a narrow 3-2 decision. Tonight the campus aggregation seems to have a fine opportunity of turning the tables on the Royal City team which has been having difficulty recently In raising a team. STRONG LINE Flanking Dier on the firs* firing line will be the fighting Guiget duo, Marcel and Charles, while McArthur, Lambert and Austin Filth will make up a second string that doesn't know when to stop trying. Defense positions will be handled by Provenzano, Moxon, and Jim Harmer with the latter possibly moving up to pivot the first string for part of the tilt. Jim Ussher, speedy left-winger, will possibly see action as utility man if he arrives in time for the game. BOO WHO? A few more regular practice sessions and the Blue and Gold sextette will be able to say"BOO" to all comers, according to Manager Morris Belkin and a poll conducted among members of the squad. Admission to the rink tonight is absolutely free and a silver collection will be taken to defray expenses. Remember game time ls 9.00 p.m. and the place Is the Forum. There's a new deal ahead for the campus trackmen this year of 1939, a new deal with plenty of chances for the boys to strut their stuff in an intercollegiate-studded schedule that starts on March 18, and concludes April 7. First move that Van Vliet will will take to round the team Into shape will be an uiganlzatlon meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, January 17. Official track practices will start under Maury's coaching eye on Jan. 23, when the welcome sign will be waving in the breeze for all who cherish talent In the track racket. INTER-COLLEGE FRAYS Four Inter-colleglate meets are on the schedule to date under Van Vllets system of enlarging lnter-col- lege relations on this campus. College of Puget Sound, Hill Military, Idaho, and Washington have been INTRAMURALS SET; CLEAN UP LOCKERS Maury's Intra-murals are getting under way for a heavy session in the new year. A meeting of class Athletic representatives ls called for Monday noon, to discuss further tortures for perspiring would-be athletes. SKEO Anglican College and Aggies will square off for a oasaba-heavtng aot on Wednesday, Jan. 11, while Arts '41 and Arts '40 take the floor on the same day. Friday the 13th will see two smash games between Sc. '41 and '42; and Arta '39 and Sc. '40. Regular gym classes are already in session for tumblers, pachyderms, leather-pushers, and all others. Girls, too. So remember Maury's cries of anguish, and show up occasionally! CLKAN-UP A brand-new system of baskets for the storage of duds will be Instituted shortly at the gym, so all lockers in the small room adjoining the showers must be cleaned out by Jan. 16. The same applies to lockers in the North dressing room, home of the much-abused punching bag. If this regulation ls not carried out by the above date, locks -will be cut off, by force if necessary, and strip removed. So take heed, you locker-holders. contacted so far. Tho schedule for the coming season ls as follows: March 18— Varsity vs. Inter-High All Stars March ?0— Varsity at Puget Sound March 31— Hill Military Reluys at Portland April 5— U. of Idaho at Vurslty April 7— University of Washington Relays at Seattle The Hill Military meet and the Washington relays will pit the U.B.C. lads against some of the best trackmen in the north-west.
