Gaglardi stated that the problem of juvenile .delinquency could be solved "within 24 hours without the help of any expensive, high flown, brains trust professors or psychologists." Apart from our wondering why Mr. Gaglardi could not spare 24 hours of his admittedly precious hours and rid the community of this very urgent problem, his statement is of interest because it typifies the all too common ignorance regarding social problems. Mr. Gaglardi is not alone in considering himself an expert in an area which in reality he knows nothing about. He fails to see that juvenile delinquency is but one overt manifestation of a deeper and more widespread social malaise. Juvenile delinquents cannot be transformed into well adjusted, contributing members of society in 24 hours. They have been conditioned to their asocial mode of behaviour by years of parental rejection and deprivation. No one can convince them in a day that the society that has been against them for years is in reality interested and cares for them. There is no one answer to the problem of juvenile delinquency or any other form of asocial behaviour, simply because the causes of maladjustment are many and they vary from person to person. Parental rejection, inadequate finances and housing, lack of consistent parental discipline, these and many more factors all contribute to juvenile delinquency and other social problems. When the problems of delinquency, marital difficulties and other social ills are fully studied, it becomes apparent that no one answer will suffice. Only a comprehensive program carried out by people trained in the science of human behaviour can effectively cope with problems of such magnitude. Just as we expect our road and bridge building to be tackled by people trained in this field so should we expect our social problems \o be handled only those possessing the necessary knowledge and skill. The logical question arising from the above is why don't the social workers, the psychologists and psychiatrists make a better job of treating social problems. The answer is that not enough members of these professions are employed and not enough resources are available. For example, in the City of Vancouver at the present time, the average case load of a probation officer is around 85. It is estimated that a probation officer can adequately cope with about 40 cases. The answer to social problems does not lie in such proposals as Mr. Gaglardi outlined. Rather they lie in the expansion of our treatment programs so that epople engaged in these programs can have a reasonable chance of helping their clients. We should not expect our engineers to build a new highway with outmoded equipment and insufficient staff. Neither should we expect our social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists to deal with the complex problems of today without giving them enough staff, adequate treatment centres, and an enlightened framework of legislation within which to do their work. The biggest obstacle to putting such programs into practise is that the average, conscientious citizen is unconvinced of the need for preventative measures. He is aware that a serious problem exists but is not at ell sure of the way in which the problem should be handled. Because of this hesitation and lack of knowledge it is imperative that local pilot projects be undertaken to prove to the public that the delinquents, criminals et al can be helped to achieve a better social and emotional adjustment and to lead constructive and positive lives in the community. More Probation Needed in Canada Editor's Note: In this article, Social Work student Brian Wharf argues that, if a little probation is a good thing, a lot more would be a whole lot better. Wharf's article is one ol several appearing in the Ubyssey today, dealing with various question of concern not only to social workers, but to the public as well. Other articles, contributed by Social Work students, will be found on this page, as well as on pages four and five. In British Columbia recent statistics show that 1,100 offenders on Probation are presently being supervised by 16 probation officers. The approximate annual cost of maintaining these probationers is $50.00 per person. At the same time most of them are both employed and leading constructive lives in the community. In contrast, the annual main* tenance cost for a variable 1000 state supported inmates at Oakalla Prison farm is $1,- 500 per person. In terms of the Provincial Treasury alone, none will dispute the monetary advantages of probation. What is probation? Many public minded citizens do not have a clear idea of its meaning and implications. Technically, it is a process of treatment ordered by the Courts for persons convicted of offences against the law, during which the individual lives in the community and regulates his own life under conditions imposed by the Courts and subject to the supervision of a probation officer. It is not an act of mercy, punishment, clemency, or pardon; rather, it is a form of treatment aimed at effecting a readjustment of the attitudes, habits and capabilities of the offender. The idea of probation as a form of treatment began in the New England states abut 1841 and was recognized on a broader scale in England about 30 years later. In Canada probation is a relatively new way of dealing with offenders. British Columbia officially adopt-: ed it in 1942, and during these 15 years its role in the treat ment of the offender has been most gratifying; 80% of those placed on probation have been classed as successes. This high percentage is , however, due in part to the selectivity of the Magistrates, who, before granting probation, refer the offender to a probation officer for pre-sentence investigation. The probation officers, are in turn selective, suggesting probation in only half of their pre- s e n te n c e recommendations. This selection is governed to some extent by the Criminal Code which states that probation may be granted only to first offenders or to those whose previous offenses date back at least 5 years. An extension in the area of probation services could, therefore, only come about as restrictions in the code are lessened to include ^wider range of offenders. Last year in Canada 100,000 Canadians went to jail and, of those, 60T-J- were in custody 90 days or less, indicating the offenses were not of too serious a nature. Had they been allowed to report to probation officers, the expending of public funds would have been reduced, and the offenders would not have been faced with returning to the community to seek jobs after release. A prison record often results in ostracism from employers and other segments of society, while the inevitable resentment and hostility within the individual seems to open the way for further acts of crime. Through the years we have continually sought new tech niques of treatment for the ailments of man. As these methods have gained acceptance and proven their validity, they have been further developed to a highly skilled degree. Such, for example, as been the history of surgery. It is felt that probation too, as a form of treatment, has conquered the test for survival and is now ready to expand and offer services to a wider range of offenders. How can this be done? As already suggested, the Criminal Code would have to be changed to permit greater use of probation services. This is possible only by public recognition that such a need exists. With the horizons so broadened, pre sentence reports could be required in most cases before the Court, certainly for all first offenders. This would of necessity require more probation officers to cope with the expanded program of investigation and supervision. Also, the number of probation centers would have to be increased to administrate and carry out the added services. Such an expansion of personnel and facilities rests with the Department of the Attorney General which must act as it recognizes the need as a reflection of public demand. The case for more probation rests ultimately on community awareness of, and confidence in, this form of treatment. We, in the correctional fields must not, however, minimize our obligation, for through individual ancKcollective campaigns of public education, community support can be won! NOT ALL BEER AND SCHLITZ Life of a Social Worker By PAT TRAHERNE As I arose the other morning and heard the dismal pit, pat of rain on the roof and saw the miserable grey streaks slide down thc window pane, I was reminded of other mornings, when my instant reaction to such a sight was. "Another day with nothing to do but look at office bound social workers!" For I was a rural worker with headquarters in a small city in the northern Sask. bush and on such a day my Chevrolet and I retired to a well earned rest: 1 to sit with my feet on the desk and it to receive further diagnosis and iifciiment for undefined difficulties in its adjustment to snow banks, mud holes, telephone poles, and ditches. By tiie law of averages a dry, sunny day was bound to appear and when it did we were off to do the week's work. The janitor, stenos, and supervisor were left behind as social workers in their GM products spouted forth in all directions, to meet again at the end of the week, each replete with tall tales of the week's adventures. Everyone counted on unbur dening his troubles when he got to town because he had been driving around the country for two or three days with only the cows on the road for company. Of course there i.s the car radio but a steady diet of "Aunt Lucy's Storylime," and half a dozen quiz programs of a morning is bound to pall. After having travelled around a section of your district all day, perhaps adding another 150-200 miles on your speedometer which is already on its second way around, you look forward witli mingled feelings to the type of accommodation you will find for the night. The Sask. small town is easily spotted. It's the only two storey building on Main St., and it's generally an architectural wonder in itself. Next day, and you're off (if the car will go) to make half a dozen calls before noon. Before setting out, a conference is held in the municipal office with the secretary who is the leading exponent on road conditions and where the NE ' 4 28, 21, 6, W2 is, as translated into actual miles and directions from town. He has also likely been approached by a seeker of social aid during the past week or two and informs you that lie has advised the person you will call next in the district. The day is then spent maneouvering the car over roads and I racks of every description, of stopping, struggling with instruments on gates and walking half a mile through a field: of hoping that the people in the next house will speak English; and of chuckling and smiling to yourself after eat- borsch with an old couple who had insisted thai you stay for dinner, It's either a day in which you become hopelessly stuck or lost at 10 a.m. and only become mobile again at 3 in the afternoon at which time all ambition has left you, or it's a day in which you make a number of successful calls and everyone is at home when you knock. If it is a day like this, that you've also managed to stay out of mud holes and away from tall trees, then you will likely start back lo the office with a light heart and a feeling of good will to all men, as well as the feeling that perhaps social work isn't such a bad job after all. Players Club Burns Effigy Of Mike Ames The players' club, after considerable debate Wednesday, came to the inevitable conclusion that an effigy of Michael Ames should be burned on the main mall. They burned him at noon Thursday, to the joy of all true lovers of culture and the dramatic arts. No names were revealed as the disciplinary committee has their evil eye on the Players' Club. The effigy was raised to loud cries of yea and nay, and the fire lighted with many old and useless copies of the Raven. The pile burned well, as all the words Mr. Ames has written about the Players' Club were purified. Many of the cast of ♦'One Hundred Years Old," which no doubt Mr. Ames will find excellent, appeared and el a need a war dance. "One Hundred Years Old," opened Thursday night in the Auditorium, and goes on again tonight and tomorrow. Tickets for students are 50 cents. They may be obtained in the AMS office or in other local spots. Come out to the party in the Auditrium and join our cultural hero, Michael Ames. Adcock Speaks At Noon Today; Sir F. E.

Professor Adcock formerly taught ancient history at the world-famous Cambridge University, where he was one of the editors of the treatise "Cambridge Ancient History." The noted historian, one of the most educated men ever to appear at UBC, is sponsored by Classics Club and ASUS. GEORGE HEE8. conservative M. P. for Toronto-Broadview will speak in the Auditorium today at noon. Mr. Hees is the past president of the National Conservative Association and at 44, is one of the youngest members in Parliament today. He was educated at R.MC. and the University of Toronto. Mr. Hees played for the prewar Toronto Argonaughts football team. n —"* Queens Pulls A Tiki" In Arts Election Students at Queens University have gone "Tiki" Graham one better. A ficticious student named Don Curtis was elected President of the Queens Arts Society by a large margin. Sponsors of the successful hoax said the hoax was planned to show the voters their political irresponsibility. Arts Society officials congratulated the hoaxsters for perpe - uating r "perfect hoax," but chided them for deceiving electoral officers. Comments of students who voted for Curtis were revealing: Some voted because his name was at the top of the ballot list; others, who saw many "Vote Curtis" posters, said they supported him because he "seemed anxious to get in." New York Reclaimed By Queens' Students Watertom, N.Y. (Exchange)—A .dawn attack by 18 unidentified students of Queen's University, temporarily reclaimed most of Jefferson County, New York State, for the British crown, in the name of George III. The attack took place on the anniversary of George Washington's birthday. The students, reported to be from Queen's University, hoisted Union Jacks over school buildings and posted proclamations in Watertown, Clayton, Alexandria Bay, and Lefargeville, all in Jefferson County, N.Y. This area was orginally part of the old Thirteen Colonies. Whereas certain sorrowful events took place in these colonies, in the year of our Lord, seventeen hundred and seventy- six" ... we have decided that the "iniquitous blot on the American escutcheon" must be removed, read the proclamation in part. It announced that the territory and all its inhabitants were repossessed for England in the name of King George III. To make them appear bon fide, the plaques were shellacked and written in old English script. In most towns, the incident was taken as a huge joke, but in one, the local police constable was reported as "quite mad" over the affair. The flags were quickly taken down by the police. THE UBYSSBT Friday, March 9,1956 Proposed Amendments For General Meeting 1. BY-LAW III, 3) xv: •'The Treasurer will be required to present all contracts made by the Alma Mater Society to the Students' Council for ratification." EXPLANATION: This will assure that Council approves the nearly 50 contracts made by the Treasurer on behalf of the AMS each year. It merely sets down in the by-laws a procedure followed already. 2. BY-LAW HI, n) iv: '"Hie P.R.O. shall be an ex-officio member of the University Radio and Televsion Society Executive." EXPLANATION: This will assure that Council is informed of the activities and finances of Radsoc, one of the major organizations under the AMS. 3. BY-LAW VIII, 5: "The Treasurer shall deposit a sum calculated on 50 cents per active member of the Society in a fund known as the Brock Sinking Fund, such fund to be a first charge on the revenue of the Society, and to be applied at the absolute discretion of the Students' Council to the defraying of the depreciation of the Brock Memorial Building furnishing and equipment." EXPLANATION: As a Society, the AMS does not write off depreciation, and this amendment will in effect charge each year equally for the cost of maintalng, replacing and adding to the Brock facilities. In the past, such purchases have been made heavily during some years and not at all during others, even though all years share the benefits . . . The Fund will assure that sufficient monies are set aside to properly furnish and equip the expanded Brock Hall without concentrating the cost on any one year. 4. BY-LAW Vffl, 6: "The Treasurer shall deposit a sum calculated on ten cents per active member of the Society in the Brock Hall Collection Fund, such fund to be used solely by the Brock Hall Art Committee for the purchase of paintings by Canadian artists." EXPLANATION: This year, the AMS granted five hundred dollars to the Art Committee to start a collection of paintings by Canadian artists for Brock Hall. It is hoped that by setting up a permanent art fund a collection to rival that of Hart House at the University of Toronto can eventually be established. 5. BY-LAW XIX: ''Honorariums: An honorarium shall be granted to the Managing Editor and the News Editor of the "Ubyssey" consisting of one hundred dollars, to be paid at the end of the first term." EXPLANATION: It is the opinion of both the Students' Council and the Editor-in-Chief of the Publications Board that the amount of time and energy the two students holding the positions of News and Managing Editors of the "Ubyssey" contribute on behalf of the student body entitles them to an honorarium. UBC is one of the few universities in North America not so rewarding its newspaper staff. It is of interest that the students qualified to hold these positions are always capable of securing a job with a downtown newspaper as a campus correspondent at substantially higher salaries.

The Tie Sat Spring is here, and everyone is talking about summer jobs. Mike Ames tails us that opportunities for Artsmen are •specially good this year; Mike himself has a Job stamping out golf shoe cleats. He gets paid 15 dollars a week and all the spoiled cleats he can carry home. Many professors take summer jobs too, we hear. For instance. Earle Birney will be back this* summer at his old job of deckhand, tpitoon-pollsher and seagull-warden on the CNR excursion run to Nanaimo. Summer job opportunities for undergraduates are very good this year. And, as a helpful service to its readers, the Tie Bar presents a few tips on how. and where to get a summer job. For Instance, the Omar Peanut Butter, untouched by human hands," needs a student with prehensile toes to shell peanuts while their chimpansee is on vacation. ..Another excellent opportunity is offered by an elderly spinster who is planning an extensive summer tour of Europe and wants a traveling companion. She will pay all expenses including accommodation in the best hotels, and the best food money can buy. She says it's a dandy chance to see the world. Absolutely no experience is required. The only qualification is that the student be a goldfish. And Dean Andrew says he needs a student, preferably in animal husbandry, to take care of the Yak he keeps in his back yard. The Yak was presented to him by the government of Outer Mongolia for his work in the Institute of Pacific Relations. These are only a few of the limitless opportunities available to students, and there are many more—such as worm-ranching in the Cariboo, wetback-smuggling on the Rio Grande and prop- washing at the airport. These jobs will be filled by students who will spend a profitable, happy summer in their chosen line of work. The Tie . Bar wishes you luck. But don't forget when you apply for that job, no personnel manager likes to see some slob in a turtle-neck sweater. Wear a tie. And the choice of nine out of ten personnel managers are ties from the TIE BAR (712 West Pender). They're styled to please everyone from worm- ranchers to Dean Andrew's Yak. t Social Workers Air Neec ■ *t **U *> ..1* -. .* 4 >-* r i »*».**, {,& sT v r .''>•!**■ ^1 J ! c'l »i * v * i Why is it that after yean of thi* . . . and this . . . and this . . . the Social Worker is always thought of like this? —From Liberty Financial Muscle Men Next time you're thumbing (through back issues of the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, you may run across pictures of the muscle-building executives of 4 the Bank of Iran. It's enough to make Canadian bankers ash- rmed of themselves. Iranian bankers believe in physical a.s ■well as fiscal soundness.

ICASE 1. ; MM., now aged 22, was born j three months after her parent's I marriage. Her father was 21 j at the time of her birth. He had completed grade seven and had worked in logging camps along the B.C. coast. During the early 30's no work was avail- j able. M's mother was 18 when she gave birth to M. She didn't I want a child and married only i to give M. a name. She went ! back to her old job a month afterwards. "We had to eat." M. and her parents lived in a large tenement house. M. was cared for by anyone who felt so inclined. Her father found life without a job too much. Having felt the clubs of the police in the Post Office riot he became bitter and hostile, spending much of his time away from home. M. remembers her pro-school days as most unhappy. She is bilter because of the many men entertained by her mother, the drunken Lira wis which frightened her and the frequent beatings she got when she cried. M. liked school at first but !iy the time' she was eight she was in trouble" at school for stealing from the children. By ten she truanted frequently and failed grade four. Her father was overseas and she called another man "daddy." Her mo- ihcr worked in war industry and spent much time in the beer parlours, M. was on her own and her mother gave her plenty of money. At twelve M. in company with a fourteen year old friend took money from her mother's purse and the two got as far as Alberta. Detained by Juvenile authorities there she wns returned home and severely reprimanded by her mother. ] A year later she again ran away. I This time the police returned I her. Appearing in court she was I put on probation. She stayed at I home and attended school for a time and then her mother's [current "boyfriend" started mak- | ing advances. Again she ran I away. This time she was return- ! ed and sent to a "reformatory." She was described by the staff i there as sullen, given to temper j tantrums and unable to get along ! with either the girls or the staff. There were several A.W.O.L.'s in which the police returned j her from skid row. On one oc- ! casion she became so violent I that she was transferred to a I hospital psychiatric ward and subsequently escaped. A year after M's release from the reforamtory she appeared at a children's agency requesting help to plan for her ex- | pecteel illegitimate child.

The parents explained that he often slaved out for supper. He had a generous allowance and often stayed at a friends or ate out. But lie couldn't tie responsible. He had never been in trouble, always ranked high in his class at school and was dependable. When B. came home later, the police were still waiting. B. admitted that he had stolen a car, in fact four altogether, He , also admitted be had taken part in the school raid when the damage amounted to hundreds of dollars, lie also revealed thai one of the cars had been heavily damaged when the gang had played "chicken" and neither driver was "chicken." Why had B. done this?. He claimed he didn't know. "Just for something to do I guess." The Probation Officer is compiling B's background learned that Mr. and Mrs. Z. hadn't planned to have children. However Mrs. Z. stayed at home until B. was twelve and then went back to work.

The one on the left contained all the letters that ended on a cheering friendly note: "... we trust that you will pay this account voluntarily." That was nice. They trusted us.

The number of children in our corrective institutions (costing a good deal for custodian care) should lead us to the conclusion that a large number of children suffering emotionally do not receive help early in their development, before the symptom of delinquency appears. These "delinquents", perhaps not receiving treatment now, will go on to unhappy adulthood, very possibly continuing the delinquent pattern themselves, and fostering it in their own children. Spending a little extra to help children in their early years could prevent larger expenditures later on. The matter does not go unrecognized, of course.

UNHAPPY CHILD (Continued from Pag* 5) evolved out of the work done with emotionally disturbed children in other locales. In Vancouver the need is well recognized and some action is being taken. St. Euphrasia's School, in the Convent of the Good Shepherd, has formulated plans for a treatment centre for girls between the ages of 13 and 15. The policy for the new school indicates that a great deal of study of new methods has gone into these plans and that the best of our present knowledge will be applied. The special joint committee of the Vancouver Community Chest and Council and the Canadian Association of Social Workers (B.C. Mainland Branch) studied the matter and presented a brief recommending establishment of a centre for the treatment of 12 children away from their own homes as a 'pilot project' in this kind of treatment for the community. The next problem immediately appears. Who is to conduct treatment? Staff with expert knowledge, skill and experience in this special work are essential to such a program. As students concerned with problems of human relationships might we suggest that our university could take a more active interest in this new and exciting field of study. The university setting is ideal in many ways for" an institution devoted to the treatment of emotionally disturbed children. The environment is protected, yet as a miniature community, is a bridge to the larger community the child must learn to live in. As a program of treatment for emotional disturbances must embody a multi-discipline approach, the university would be able to offer its experience in the fields of teaching, social work, psychology, medicine and psychiatry, etc. Students of these subjects would benefit from the training opportunities, and with this training would be greater volue to the community they enter. lonely boy. Sure he had material things, even to the occassional use of the car. Yet he couldn't have anyone in. It was true that his mother hadn't worked till he was twelve but she was seldom home when he cam* home from school. She never had time to hear about his exploits. She was always out to this club or that or helping ar* range some event to help someone else. His dad came home tired and worked late into the night, On Sundays he was too tired after Saturday night at the club. B. liked school and read a lot. He didn't like sports and had no time for the "sissy" stuff around the school. They met some kids from another school who decided it would be a lark to break into the school and look around. He hadn't done anything, In fact h* was glad to get out when he saw them turn on the fire hoses and dump the desks. What happens to boys like B.Z.? Probation or an indefinite sentence in a Training School. Probation probably means weekly visits to the Probation Officer where an over worked poorly paid probation officer tries tt help. The Training School offers little more than custodial care. There are no treatment facilities. Despite long hours and exhausting work by the staff little can be done. Each boy is seen briefly once by a Psychiatrist and Psychologist as a form of screening but no helpful Psychiatric therapy is available foe the boy who needs it. At home his parents continue in their same ways. Help if they wish it but no one urges them to get It. When B. is discharged he goes back to the same home. If he lives in Vancouver no one calls around as there is no follow up help available. These two cases seem hopeless. Yet many people are trying to provide help for the B's and the M's in the community. The courts, the schools, the churches, the social agencies, the police, the recreational agencies, the community cen'tres, all are doing their best. Social workers in these Community Services are interested and active. Much progress has been made. Much more can be done through the help and support of every interested citizen in insisting on better rehabilitation and pre™ ventive services for their community. Polled Students Hate New Painting The most favorable student reaction to the new painting hung in Brock lounge is apathy. In a poll of Brock Loungers taken at noon Thursday, the mildest comment received was "I can't stand it." Other reactions ranged from a serious "they shouldn't have a thing like that in a university building,' 'to "it looks like the living room of the Zete house on Sunday morning." One student excused the artist, saying "it's so big he couldn't get close enough to see what he was doing," while another congratulated him, saying "he deserves commendation for his salesmanship." TITLELESS The fact that the painting is titleless inspired many aspiring young art critics to attempt naming it. Possible titles ranged from "Drunken Peacocks During Mating Season" to "Navel Contemplating Tangerene Orange." Several students said that, due to a sign hung directly under the painting, they were under the impression that the title is "Lounge Will Be Closed at 1:00 p.m. Today." But the artist has the undying gratitude of the Brock janitors. "For years we've been trying to stop people sleeping and eating lunches in the lounge," one commented, "and ever since that jobs are paying attractive J palntIng was hung there weVc Summer Jobs Available For Co-eds National employment officers on campus announced Thursday that they have already a "limited number" of summer Job opportunities lined up for co-eds this year.

Other jobs likely this year would be hospital and sales work, Miss Esson said.

Next year UBC intends to include Manitoba and Saskatoon in their schedule. Led by their top ylayers, Ken Noble, Chuch Forbes, Mary Jean Levlrs, Joan VanAckeron and the coaching of Pat Montgomery, the varsity team opposed Alberta in a total of 40 matches, resulting in only 7 UBC losses. Ken Noble and Chuck Forbes held top honours in the Men's doubles with their clean smashes and tricky over-head backhands, while Marey Jean Levirs and Joan Van Ackerton proved outstanding i n both Women's doubles and singles.

Braves and Alberni In BC Playoff Back from what might be termed an unsuccessful trip to California, Albert Laithwaiic's Varsity rugby 15 resume McKechnie Cup action aganst Norwests in Varsity Stadium Saturday at 2 p.m. A combination of the North Shore All-Blacks and Kats, the Norwests 15 should feature a spoiling, but rough and tumble brand of rugger. Laithwaite hopes "they'll fight among themselves." This will be the second McKechnie test for the Varsity crew, who previously defeated Victoria • Reps 24-9. Norwests battled ot an 8-8 saw- off with Vancouver Reps last week at Brockton. WHAT'S UP? A question in the minds of UBC rugby fans now might be "What happened in California?'' It appears the same question worries coaches Laithwaite and Howell. "After we lo. t that first game 15-0." declared Albeit, 'Max (Howell) and I didn't know what 1o tell the boys. They didn't do anything wrong, besides get offside." The coaches, on the whole, were quite pleased with Ihe performance of the Varsity 15 according" to Laithwaite. Don Spence phiyed #w ell. along with inside centre Tom Anthony, who played steady, though not sparkling rugby. Ted Hunt turned in two unsurpassable performances, and Don Shore was outstanding in the Varsity pack, which, despite Cal's tremendous weight advantage, overwhelmed the Bear's forwards in the set scrums. BOWDEN AGAIN A combination of UBC mistakes, which resulted in penalties, and the toe of one Noel Bowden were the stones which sank the Varsity. Bowden kicked, kicked, and kicked again. Not once, in six games, swears Albert, has Bowden ever passed the ball. He just kicks. The score in the World Cup series is now 26-9 for California. Of these 26 points, Bowden has kicked 17 of them. The UBC 15 suffered three injuries in California. Hooker Dick Mcintosh had his foot stepped on and received a possible fracture of a foot bone, and Bob McLeod dislocated hi.s elbow. The joint is now puffed up and resembles an overripe plum. On the glummer side big forward Derek Vallis suffered an injury which will put him out of action for three weeks.
