THE UBYSSEY VOLUME XXXVI VANCOUVER, B.C., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1953 PRICE 5c; No. 7 Fees Will Be Upped By Spring AMS REINSTATES OUTLAWED CLUBS Three campus clubs, suspended from the AMS last Monday, were unofficially reinstated later this week. United Nations Club, Student Liberal Club and Varsity Outdoor Club were suspended from the AMS by the Student Council for failing to file a copy of their constitutions with the AMS office. Dick Underhill, AMS vice- president, states that for all practical purposes the Clubs have been reinstated since they have now submitted copies of their constitutions. The re-instatement will be made official at the next Executive Committee meeting. Committee Discusses New Pool A special university committee under the chairmanship of Dr. Gordon Shrum will meet today to make final arrangements for the $280,000 British Empire Games swimming pool which is to be built on the campus. Excavation at the pool site adjacent to Memorial Gymnasium is expected to begin early next week. Actual size and design of the pool will be decided upon today by the committee. The contract for construction will be let. President Dr. N. A. M. MacKenzie hinted that short-cuts may have to be taken in order to build the pool with the money alloted. John Springer, student representative on the pool committee, said students will definitely not be asked to help finance the pool. BEG has allotted $300,000 for the pool, but $21,000 of this has been used to pay architects' fees. "Through the efforts of Percy Norman and his peoples' committee," Springer said, "the pool has been held up for at least eight months." The peoples' committee is a group of citizens who demanded the pool be built in Vancouver's Riley Park Instead of UBC. They are now asking that a second pool be built in Vancouver. * Fun In Pubs Worth Lobby Agrees Moot Entertainment for the work- ingman in B.C. pubs is worth lobying for, agreed members ol' a panel discussion on "The New B.C. Liquor Act," which met in Arts 100 yesterday noon. Panel members and thc audience also agreed that liquor presents one of the world's greatest social problems, but opinion as to whether BC's new legislation on the subject helps solve anything, was divided. Maurice Copithorne declared that a solution to he problem in B.C. was not up to three pro- minen figures appointed to Ihe liquor inquiry board last year. but rather should have been handled by such a qualified service as the Yale institute. "There is nothing immoral, illegal or improper about drinking," stated Jack Austin. It is the public's atliude towards drinking which brings out its evil propensities, lie said. Austin could not understand why Indians are not permitted the same liquor freedom as other citizens. AGGRESSIVE KISS by nurse Pat Holmes was the reward given freshman Dan Smith- son, who is wearing the bandage taped to his arm only a few minutes earlier by pretty nurses in the armouries. Kissing Booth was open all day for male don&rs at the clinic. UBC Swamps Blood Clinic; Tops Pint Quota In Four Days By VALERIE GARSTIN Campus blood quota was easily reached when a grand total of 1,611 donors was recorded Thursday afternoon. Quota for the five-day drive was 1500 pints. The most amazing sight of this week's drive was the long lineup winding through the armouries. Students who feel a line-up can be barely tolerated during j registration week were happily queued up to part with their pint. In comparison with previous drives, this was an astonishing sight. Applied Science faculty proved their boast yesterday as a total of 236 Sciencemen gave their blood in comparison with the Frosh total of 110. The kiss- Everybody In Royal Contest Everybody is going to get into the act in the annual Homecoming Queen contest this year with the announcement that any group on thc campus can enter a candidate. In previous years only undergraduate societies were allowed to enter candidates in the Queen contst. Crowning of the Homecoming j Queen at an informal ball after, the football game will highlight! Homecoming Week which is scheduled from Monday, Oct. If) to Saturday, Oct. 24. BIG ACTIVITY Flans for the biggest activity of the fall term will be launched October 13 at a noon meeting of the Homecoming Committee in the AMS president's office. Any organization on the campus wishing to enter a queen candidate must attend this meeting. Featured as the reunion days for old UBC grads, Homecoming Week this year will include a Grads vs. Thunderbirds basketball game; an alumni vs. UBC golf tournament; a Sigma Tau Chi reunion; a Frosh-Soph hoop game; a Big Block banquet, and the Great Trekker Award, Homecoming Queen will be crowned by ;i panel of udges including Fric "Nicol and Barry Mather al Ihe I Inmecoming Ball following the Thunderbirds Fasten! Washington football game. ing booth in operation Thursday provided the added incentive to eager donors. Beautiful nurses made It difficult to restrain prospective donors from claiming their reward prior to givins their pint. Jim Crowdy of 1837 Homer, a first year Arts student became the 15,000 donor Tuesday and is to receive the mystery prize at Saturday's Football Dance in Brock Hall. Blood collections amounted to 421 pints Monday, 380 Tuesday, 331 Wednesday, and 473 Thurs day. Faculty standings are to date: Arts 412, Applied Science 236, Agriculture 66, Forestry 131^ and Medicine 56. Graduate Studies have a total of 22, and Forestry 59. Law donations are up to 53, Nursing 48, and Home Ec. 49. Physical Education gave 50 pints, Pre Med 48, Pharmacy 22, Teacher Training 11, Architecture 8, and Social Work 7. It .should be remembered that these totals are not worked out on a percentage basis. Today is the final chance for UBC to establish a record. URS Bid For Increase Foiled By AMS Council After a bitter, disorderly 90-minute session with Student Council this week, University Radio Society failed in their bid to have $100 added to their $500 budget. A six-man delegation, led by URS president Campbell Robinson, based its plea on the statement that "Radsoc is the only organization that represents the university off the campus." Radsoc was budgeted for $165 in AMS treasurer Allan Goldsmith's $10 budget, was given a boost to $600 in the $12 budget, and then was cut to $500. After Student Council went, into committee-of-the-whole for a 35-minule session, the Radsoc bid for the additional $100 was turned down by a vote of 6 to 5. (AMS president Ivan Feltham was absent, attending the NFCUS convention in Montreal). Stating that Radsoc now broadcasts the program "UBC Digest" on 10 interior radio stations, Robinson said, "Radsoc is one of the few clubs on the cam pus which does not use some of its money for parlies and dan ces." "Student Council has not shown any visual support for UBC Digest," Robinson said, "the only thing that keeps us going is the $900 we get from tiie Extension Department." Thc URS official told Council lhal it is costing Radsoc $125 to broadcast football games downtown.

Union Man Explains Gold Strike "Pen" Baskin of the United Steel Workers of America blasted the "failure of government intervention" in the Ontario gold mine strike situation before ihe campus CCF club Wednesday. Baskin, speaking in place of Jim Bury, levelled an attack against Ihe manner in which the mine operators treated the workers. "The owners are re- U'civing a government subsidy lo bolster their already large profits while the workers live in poverty." i Main poinls in the union 'stand as stated by the union of licials are full union security and a nominal wage hike. Baskin also lashed oul at what he termed were management dominated newspapers which never gave an honest report on Ihe union stand. It was his opinion lhal Canadian newspapers are dominated by their advertising policies. II was Ihe speakers opinion i having Board Of Governors Will Collect $2. Fee President N. A. M. MacKenzie said Thursday he expects the Board, of Governors to agree to collect this session the $2 AMS fee increase when the Board meets October 26. Dr. MacKenzie's assurance came after Monday's statement by AMS treasurer Allan Goldsmith that there was a possibility the Board of Governors would refuse to collect the fee hike which students approved last week in the special referendum. Goldsmith had warned the Board might decide to wait until sion next fall before collecting the beginning of the '54-55 session next fall before collecting the fee increase. APPROVED BY AMS "The fee increase has been approved by the AMS," said President MacKenzie in the Ubyssey interview, "so I don't think the Board of Governors will refuse Student Council's request to collect the increase with the second term fees." With the new budget, about 30 more clubs will receive grants and nearly all organizations will be able to increase their spheres of activities. AMS treasurer Allan Goldsmith has warned campus organizations not to spend outside the austerity budget until the fee hike is actually approved by the board. SECOND TERM The fee hike would be incorporated into the second term lees for collection purposes, while those who have paid their complete session's fees would be billed for the extra amount. Frosh Heads Plan To Spark Campus Frosh Undergraduate Society under the energetic leadership of Phil Greenberg, is determined to make every other organization on the campus sit up and lake notice this year. Perennially on a par with Arts Undergraduate Society as a non-functioning group, the FUS this year plans to enter every activity on the campus a^nd to build the frosh into a well-organized unit. Greenberg and his executive have already announced plans to choose a Frosh Princess to be run in the Homecoming Queen contest. In coming years they also hope to pick their own Queen during Frosh Orientation week. Th FUS proxy has plans for each outgoing frosh class to form a sophomore advisory committee to help the next year's freshman class to organize. First big function for Frosh will be the Frosh Dance in the women's gym, October 16. All upper-classmen are welcome to attend; Frosh will select their Homecoming Queen candidate at the dance.

UBYSSEY Friday, October 9, 1953 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Astounded I Letting Off Steam Student Council had its usual meeting at the usual time Monday night. Aside from the fact that the meeting was conducted in a manner which was on a level slightly higher than a shouting match, a few statements were flung into the din which we believe are open to question. University Radio Society sent a delegation to the meeting in an attempt to regain $100 which had been cut from the tentative Radsoc budget. A spokesman for Radsoc made the statement that his organization was "... the only true voice of UBC." Later he ventured the opinion that Radsoc is the "only UBC organization that represents the university off the campus." Still later he said, "Radsoc Is one of the few clubs which does not use some of its money for parties and dances." The last statement was obviously too emotional to be regarded seriously but even so, it ia hard to see how the Geography Club, the Letters Club, Le Circle Francais and a dozen others could have^much of a bash on their yearly budgets of $10. The first statement is merely a matter of opinion and should be treated as such. The second statement is so far off the beam that, modest creatures that we are on the Ubessey, we can't help tearing it apart. University Radio Society sends its re corded program, "U£C Digest" to 10 British Columbia stations. The Ubyssey, only other claimant for the publicity crown, sends copies of its deathless prose to every newspaper, daily, weekly or otherwise, in the province in addition to a dozen radio stations. Every university in Canada Receives copies of the Ubyssey. Our priceless "Tween Classes" notices can be seen at the following universities of distinction — California, Washington, Oregon, Columbia, and ... Alberta. Even the Aussies at Sydney University breathlessly follow the controversies in* our letters to tiie editor column. Not to mention the dozens of ex-Pub editors who gave themselves life-time subscriptions and who doubtless now reign in high influential positions throughout the universe. The Radsoc spokesman told Student Council at the meeting of the millionaire in Dawson Creek who had never heard of UBC, happened to hear the 30-minute UBC Digest one day and immediately donated two $500 scholarships to the university. Well, we can't match this but we do recall one reader, who, after perusing our sheet, sent 67 cents to the Board of Governors with the suggestion that a School of Journalism be established at UBC. And it is with crimson, embarrassed faces, Radsoc, that we shyly say—Anything you can do, we can do better . . . Editor, The Ubyssey: 1 couldn't believe my eyes when I read in the Ubyssey that only 255 out of 1,130 students voted in the Frosh elections. This must be the first election in history that only 22V& percent of the eligible voters exercised their voting privilege. However, there may have been a good reason that. 4 out of 5 Frosh did not vote. It could be that the 1,130 students coming from all parts of British Columbia, and other provinces and countries were too busy during the first week of lectues to learn anything about the candidates beyond their names. And what good is knowing a candidate's name? It is a clue to the racial origin of his parents, perhaps; an indication of sex, most likely; and a hint to the parents good sense—or lack of it; otherwise, nothing. We were fortunate this year in that experienced and capable officers were chosen. Next year, if the Frosh elections are rushed through, we may not be so lucky. — AL S. FORREST Over A Barrel Ancient News Items: "Premature valedictory was writen in a recent edition of the University of Toronto's The Varsity. Senior student rated one of the top ten academically, announced his intention not to write the final examinaion because a (BA) degree is "not worth the paper it is printed on." If you ask most seedy-looking individuals what course they're taking at college (going on the assumption, of course, that most seedy- looking individuals are university students) the majority of them will mumble something about Pre-Med, Artificial Insemination, Agriculture, or some allied subject. But if you're a crafty one, you'll note that your victim has his fingers, eyes, or some other part of his anatomy inextricably crossed—that's because he's fibbing. Nine times out of ten your man is enrolled in a general Arts Course and is too ashamed to admit it. Up to the present there have been, but for a~few odd chances, only two alternatives for these unfortunates: (ie) suicide or Teachers' Training. LOTS OF COMPASSION Only the other day an erstwhile colleague of mine approached we on Granville street. I could see he was a bit down on hi.s luck by his clothes—they were in tatters, also he tried to put the touch on a six-year-old little monster and got a sucker stick in his right eye for his pains. My compassion went out to him as he hobbled towards me walking on his hands (trying to save i;hoe leather, you know). As I bent over to tie my shoe-laces he sidled close, and from that ludicrous upside- down position whispered hoarsely in my ear, "Weren't we in Bead-Stringing 300 together, Buddie?" Daubing a tear from my eye, I quickly stepped on his hand, and watched him drop, writhing with pain, into the gutter. "What made you do that?" he quavered. "Well dah ..." I ejaculated fiercely, "I guess I've been reading too many Mickey Spil- lane thrilleis; on lop of that it was a stupid move, anyway. You're not a blonde, and I doubt very much if you're sporting pink underwear." At length I could stand the silence no longer, so I barked, "What's your trouble, anyway?" by Charlie Watt HE'S FRUSTRATED "I'm frustrated," he answered. "Why can't you get a job?" I inquired fiercely. It was again a scene of pity, as this once wealthy scion of an honored family tried to regain a vestige of his former pride. "Of course I can get a job,' he answered quickly, straightening his torn Big Block sweater with a helpless little gesture. "Then why don't you?" I inquired. "Because I don't want a job, I want a position," he muttered. "There was a time in bygone days when I could do an honest days work, but four years in a general Arts course ruined all that. After all, the only thing I can really do well is conjugate the verb "etre", and a heck of a lot of good that's going to do when they ask me to man a pump in a pneumatic i'alsie factory, or some such other worthwhile task." He paused a moment, then added, "And besides, after four years at university living in solid comfort off the old man, how* can you expect me to work?" TEACHER TRAINING Breathing deeply, I waited before raising my final question. "Just what is frustrating, you then?" "Well, it's like this," he answered. "You see, I'm convinced that I'm hopeless as a prospective candidate for Teachers' Training, so there's only one way out . . . suicide." "Well, what so bad about that?" "When I pass out of this vale of tears,' he answered, "I want to leave with a big splash. "So?" "I can't figure out whether I'll make a bigger splash jumping off the old or new Marpole bridge." Your troubles are over," I shouted, "the old Marpole span is good enough for any self- respecting Artsman, and besides there never will be any such an entity as the "new" Marpole bridge since the Dominion government has proposed taking over that little problem." The interview ended as I turned to watch his figure slowly retire (hand over hand) in the direction of the present Marpole span. Anyone here for Arts? Phobia Editor, The Ubyssey, The letter "Propaganda Tools" by Mr. R. Tomoulch, I am inclined to believe, is the creation of one suffering from the same phobia that is cursing our neighbours, the Americans. When anyone dares mention the word "Red" it produces a hysterical reaction that results in the dismissal of professors, the labeling of students as fellow travellers and the setting up of iron curtains against free thought. We are supposedly a university of free thought. But are we free to label people fellow travellers because there has arisen in our beings an emotional revolution against the word "Red" and all it implies? Is this a just and reasonable criteria of what is valuable concerning the purpose of the university? Or have we lost sight of the purpose of the university? Is it not the purpose of every student to seek after truth and to test that truth with every revolutionary faction that will challenge his belief? If our peace-loving Canadian students have such a feeble ideology that they will become bait for the hard-bitten communists of bolshevik calibre as Mr. Tomouich says, it is CLASSIFIED 1948 PLYMOUTH, HEATER, seat covers, excellent condition.

Jane, now in her third year of Law, returned two weeks ago from thirteen weeks of study in India. From Paris, Jane flew to Bombay where she received her first and most striking impression of India as soon as she got out of the plane. "It was the smell." There is no one definite quality about it, it's just, as she terms it, "the smell of India." "But by next morning you forget that you ever noticed it; you simply become used to it." Particularly noticeable, says Jane, arc the great numbers of small children in the streets. But even more strange is the comparative absence of women in public. The women who do appear in public are all gowned in saris. Jane describes this garment as a long strip of cotton or silk, six yards long, and 44 inches wide. Under the sari, the women wear long tight skirts and equally as tight blouses. Yielding to the call of India, Jane bought herself a sari, and, after long hours of practice, can get it draped in about 5 minutes. Indian women can do the same job in less than a minute.

In the cultural field, Jane was most interested in the native dancing. "It is highly stylized and requires intensive training like the type of dancing that we call ballet." "The music is as different as the dancing. It consists entirely of weird half-tone progressions." Transportation presented a small problem to the girls at* tending the Seminar. "Everyone rides bikes. But we couldn't find any but men's, so there was nothing for uc to do but - ride them with our skirts on." Jane adds, "We created quite a bit of a spectacle." The people were extremely hospitable to the visiting students. During their stay at Mysore University, the students stayed in the dorms on campus. Throughout the day, they attended lectures and seminars. Why they couldn't sleep during the terrific heat of the day and work during the night none of them could understand. "It's beer!!" Wandering Freshettes Find Home In Library There comes a time in the life of every freshette when she finds herself at loose ends, and wanders into the library. When the moment arrives for you to crash into the den of antiquity, you will probably find the accepted social pattern of "study" confusing. The most important room in the building is the basement. That's where you smoke. If you are a non-smoker, your social life need not be hampered. There is a place for you. The right wing, familiarly called Cashmere Corner, is reserved for transients who Jaunt frequently to the cupboard, and even more frequently to the basement. Moving to the main room, you find the tables crowded with the more active of the indoor bird-watchers. As you progress down the aisle, you will suddenly realize that you are the bird. Courage still high, you shuffle inconspicuously into the new wing. Somebody told you that there were reference books in there. There are. But the hordes of grinning sophomore males provide a more interesting topic of study. Council Must Okay Guest Speakers Campus clubs sponsoring outside speakers must first get approval of Student Council, according to Mike Nuttall, Co-ordinator of Activities. They must also inform the co-ordinator of all bookings to prevent clashes between meetings. % "Some clubs have sponsored guest speakers without permission," Nuttall said. "Violations of this regulation^ will be handled strictly." A fine of $5 will be levied against first offenders. Upon second offense a club will lose all recognition and their privileges will be withdrawn. Their budget wil be stopped and all bookings will be cancelled.

Last fall long • suffering campus fans returned looking hopefully for even greater things from that 1951 squad. With 10 freshman on the 25- man Conference team, Jelly Andersen naturally expected an experienced group of players to be developed in the next few years. DEATH RATE LOW The result: Jelly was missing 27 players when the grid season got underway, 'Birds failed to win a game and Jelly is no longer with us. Twenty-seven players failed to return because eligibility, injuries,- graduation or other, too detailed reasons. A good number of those casualties were to the registrar which is unfortunate, but that's the way he ball bounces, as the boys in the back-room would say. CORYELL POPULAR Although the turn-over wasn't quite as high this year, it is still a remarkable death- rate for a football squad. The bitter truth appears to be that eligibility rules are not enforced on football players in schools which we could mention while they are enforced, but strictly, at the home of the Thunderbirds. Which is as it should be. Don Coryell, already estab- • lished as the most popular football coach ever to tear his hair at UBC, has moulded a well-balanced squad out of what was left of the '52 team and a good crop of rookies. RETURNEES LACKING , A big hole was left in the Thunderbird line-up with the graduation of Galloping Geor gie Puil, Bob Hindmarch and John MacDonald. Dick Matthews has used up his eligibility. Don and Rae Ross are also among the missing. Barry Purcell was injured last season and didn't return. Danny Lazosky and Tom Suple, Bill Hortie and Stu Matthews, Ron Burgess and Don Smythe—none of them on the squad. Two Mikes— Smith and Chykaluk, are.among the missing. ELIGIBILITY RULINGS This is just an indication of what a UBC coach has to contend with every fall. He can seldom depend (upon a reasonable carry-over of veterans. Of that good squad of two years ago, only Bil Stuart, Jerry Nestman, Gordy Eliot, Barney Powers, Ceee Taylor and Pete Gregory are still wearing the Blue and Gold. Only Eliot, Powers, Stuart, Jim Boulding, Bob Brady, Gordy Flemons, Carl Saari- nen, Harry Walters, Bill Ku- shnir and Herb Hayward were Gordie Flemons, QB ... with us last year. Contrast this with the 25 lettermen who returned to Central Wash ington's squad this fall. A perfect example of how not to enforce eligibility rulings will be shown when Oregon College visits the campus tomorrow. Other schools in Washington have refused to play this squad for the simple reason that they ignore any sort of academic requirements and even load their team for exhibition tilts such as the one you will see Saturday, NO LINEUPS Oregon College whipped Thunderbirds 20-6 two years ago and officials of the school have ignored local requests for even such simple information as the line-up to be used in the battle. It should be interesting tomorrow. Conditions of three of Coryell's quarterbacks is doubtful as this is being written. Gordy Flemons is nursing a bad bruise on his leg, Roger Big, Tough Oregon Squad Here For Saturday Game 'Birds Plagued With Injuries; But Still Ready For Operation By RON SAPERA Don Coryell's Thunderbirds meet the strong Oregon College of Education squad at 2 p.m. Saturday in the Howie McPhee Stadium in an attempt to win their second exhibition game of the current season. * ~~~ ~ Still smarting under the humiliation of the 33-12 defeat from Central Washington's Wildcats last weekend, the 'Birds have been working long and hard on their blocking and tackling; which proved to be a main factor in the loss. STUDIES COME FIRST Coaches Coryell and Dick Mitchell have had a hard time getting the boys to turn out at the same time every day because of their strong rule, "Studies first; football second," which has been in effect since classes began. The team has however one hour a week in which they will be able to get together at once. That is Thursday's long noon hour which Coryell has turned into a practice session for the boys. INJURIES. INJURIES The squad is plagued with in-; Band will be on hand Saturday •$>- The three regular quarterbacks are also on the injury list. Flemons is suffering from a thigh injury suffered in last week's tilt; Kronquist from a knee injury he received in the same same and Stewart from his souvenir of the McGill encounter. GUARD SHORTAGE Coryell's one hope may be in Ron Shannon, former Kits and Meraloma star. He has been turning out with the varsity for a week now and is rapidly rounding into a good ball player. The coach also has a shortage of guards and is toying with the idea of turning big Ross Rayment into one. Rayment at present is a half-back but is big and hard and would fit into the line perfectly. QUICK KICKS: Kits Boys' juries of a minor nature and Coryell is hoping to be able to dress more than the limited 25 players and play a two-platoon once again . . . Half-time entertainment will be a gymnastic display on the gridiron ... It is hoped an official of the 'Birds brand of football if the opposingj QB Club will kick off the game coach agrees. In this manner he hopes to cut down any injuries which may be incurred in Saturday's meet. . . . OCE has one impressive (40- 4 over South Oregon) win and two losses (26-14 Pacific U and 19-8 Linfield). ^mmmem£ -V .***•****, First Trial For Rugger Squads Set This Saturday By GEOFF CONWAY Saturday is "R" day for 60 UBC rugger enthusiasts as the 1953-54 rugby schedule opens for the four Varsity fifteens. The first division Chiefs begin the long 12-game road in defense of the Miller Cup, which they handily won last year, with the Ex-Brits providing the opposition in a 2:30 p.m. contest at False Creek pitch. Many ex-Varsity players, in: eluding last year's captain Danny Oliver, are in strip for the Brits and should provide ample competition for the defending champs. *f* *p *p The Rowing Club faces the UBC Braves in thc feature second division game at 1.45 on the Lower Brockton field. The Braves, who wore run- ners-up to the Provincial title- holding Merlomas last season, have many prospective Varsity players on their roster and should be a definite threat for the Province Cup this season. The other two UBC squads entered in the 12-team Second Division league, thc Tomahawks with rugby and the Redskins, also begin and pains'1 COACH Albert Laithwaite sends hi.s rugger squads out for their first try Saturday.

The broadcast will start at 3.05 p.m. and will have a play- by-play account of the second half of the gridiron battle between the Thunderbirds and Oregon College of Education. UBC Squad Visits B.C. Penetentiary Second week of soccer play gets under way Sunday with UBC teams scheduled to see action with the Chiefs gunning for their second straight win and the Varsity attempting to score their first. Las Sunday the Chiefs, who are fielding their strongest team in years, ran rampant over the fitba' field to score an easy 6-1 victory over the Forum Taxi XI. The Chiefs appear to be the team to beat this year. OFF TO PRISON In Sunday's encounter they will match kicks with the Penguins at the B.C. Penitentiary grounds. Still fresh from last week's win the word has it they should win by three goals this week. The not-so-fortunate Varsity squad will take on Sapperton on the UBC field. Last week the Varsity lost its opener by a narrow 3-2 margin to Hales. IN SHAPE NOW Like the football team the Varsity weakened in the second half to lose the ball same. Coach Ed Luckett has had the team practicing hard this week to round the squad into shape to prevent any further such happenings. Bud Dobson and Gordon Rudge were the big guns for the Varsity, each scoring one goal.

At the moment Ron Shannon, an ex-Meraloma, is the only healthy backfield master- minder in the Thunderbird camp. A better than average passer, Shannon needs a little more experience in Evergreen play which is more than a step higher than Big Four football. Still on the casualty list, Charley James won't see action again this week. The tough little end hopes to be back in a week or so ... it leaves 'Birds with only three ends. Dudley Gerry has decided to concentrate on his studies, leaving Coryell and Co. with only three guards.
