Track Meet With Victoria It was resolved by Students' Council at their regular meeting on Monday night that a letter be sent to the president and executive of the basketball club, requesting that some action be taken within two weeks to promote a larger attendance at games in the U.B.C. gym. Collins' Opinion Conversation of council members with the basketball executive had apparently been frequent. To Quote Mark Collins, president of the A.M. S.: "The games aren't properly advertised and basketball is going to * the dogs. We should deliver an ultimatum that unless they take really definite action in two weeks we will either ask them to elect a new executive or appoint one ourselves." Council did not make very specific charges against the executive. The advertising methods of the basketball executive came in tor most abuse and council were of the opinion that, since they apparemly could not get into the papers, they ought to try placards and attempt to rouse some enthusiasm in the high schools and at the university itself. More Eligibility A minute from the men's athletic executive proposed that upper-class men, losing eligibility by poor marks in the spring, be allowed to regain it by good marks at Christmas, instead of having to wait all year till next spring. This was not entirely favoured, Mark Collins pointing out that in many sports the.most active time t_me 4n'*oung iconoclasts from West Point <3rey.

This is a spectacular production with a large cast, and it means there will be no tour. Rehearsals are being rushed as quickly as possible. On Tuesday, Miss Dorothy Somerset, director, outlined the plot at a general meeting of the Players' Club. On Wednesday tryout parts were distributed. This afternoon the advisory board ofl the club will sit in judgment and make the preliminary selections for the part. 14 Cleopatra Aspirants This year there are only two female parts, but they both are good ones. Consequently there are 14 aspirants for Cleopatra, and seven for Ftata- teeta, the nurse to the queen. The girls are offered one more chance in thc part of the boy king Ptolemy, who may be played by either sex. Caesar is the leading male character, and four men are trying out for the part. Three of them were in "Alibi" last spring—Bill Sargent, Tommy Lea and Gerald Prevost. Masala Cosgrave and Margaret Stewart, trying for Cleopatra, have also had spring play experience. Still another is Harold Lando, one of the five competing tor the part of Rufio, Caesar's general. Many Male Roles There is no paucity of parts for the men, there being nine important roles Play Director 14 Aspire For Role Of Cleopatra, 4 For Caesar SPECTACULAR SHOW DOROTHY SOMERSET Proletariat Aspect Of The Depression Will Be Discussed "Labour's view of the present economic crisis" will be the subject of an address to be given by Mr. Percy Bengough, vice-prssident of the Labour Trad** and Congteis of Canada, before a meeting >f the Vancouver Institute to be h.ld in the Auditorium on Saturday, Jan. 13, at 8:15 p.m As a labour worker and a trusted official of the labour movement, Y,i. Bengough is excellently qualified to present the point of view, not only of the labour unions, but also of all those dependent on wages for their living. He represents 11,000 workers in 68 skilled or semi-skilled trades in the federated labour movement of Vancouver and district. As a life-long student of labour problems he has been the representative of thc workers in Canadian councils. He has also been the national representative at Geneva and other international congresses. It is understood that the greater part of Mr. Bengough's address will be devoted to the unemployment problem—presenting the view of labour as to its wue solution. for them, as weir as a plenitude of decorative duties as soldiers and slaves. The would-be Cleopatras, too, will appear on the stage as attendants and, ladies-in-walting. Mis. Dorothy Somerset, the director, will have a particularly heavy task, but she proved her ability to produce Shaw last year in the Vancouver Little Theatre's presentation of "Back to Methuselah," which she directed and took to Ottawa for third place in the Dominion Drama Festival. Third Play of G. B. S. The Players' Club has previously Friday Totem Appointments Are Cancelled 1 done two plays of Shaw: "You Never Can Tell" in 1923, and "Pygmalion" in 1926.

George Luxton presented a paper tracing the developments and achievements of the world Disarmament Conference. George Dolsen then read a paper on The National Attitudes in the Present Disarmament Conference. Britain, France and United States and Russia, said Mr. Dolsen, are pacificts in temper but Italy, Germany and Japan are taking strong militaristic stands. Tlie world Is biding its time restively with an almost complete lack of confidence after the Sino-Japanese conflict. For this reason the world is returning to competitive armaments and secret diplomacy. Can we have international Peace? To this question Mr. Dolsen replied yes—if we want it and are willing to sacrifice in the cause of peace to the same extent as we do for war. Canada has at least two means for preventing war. Through her close connection with the British Commonwealth and the United States she can influence their policies for peace. On her own account she may sever trade relations. The election of the president waa deferred and the following officers elected: Vice-president, Helen Taylor; secretary, Joan Clotworthy; Committee, Estelle Matheson and George Dolsen.

As the Ubyssey has pointed out before, the rushing system at this University has developed in a very unsatisfactory way. So-called eligible freshmen are rushed from party to party, dinner to dinner, in a perpetual cycle of hand shaking and kow-towing. Many of them, by their bewildered expressions, hardly know what it is all about. Others, considering themselves more sophisticated, bask in the adulation of their seniors, and if their membership is desired in several fraternities, their vanity increases in direct proportion to their so-called desirability. A system such as this is decidedly detrimental to the individual. The continual round of hectic social activities detracts both from the studies and the legitimate university interests of the freshmen. Fraternity members also suffer, spending more money than they can afford entertaining people, many of whom have no desire or intention to join the fraternity. These abuses are obvious. To find a solution to the problem is considerably more difficult than to find fault. The Ubyssey considers, however, that steps should be taken by the Inter-fraternity Council before next year, to limit not only the number of functions which a fraternity may give, but also to limit the number of functions which the rushee may attend. RED HAIRED IRISHMAN ON THE CAMPUS Announcement is contained in this issue of the Spring Play decision. "Caesar and Cleopatra" by George Bernard Shaw is an attractive choice, offering a maximum of color and gaining much effect from a large cast, which though a setback in commercial production is a real asset in Club presentations. The play when first acted in London in 1912 produced quite an effect as an earlier example of "debunking," or to use its more dignified designation, iconoclasm. Since then debunking has become a fashion, Maxwell Anderson's "Elizabeth the Queen" produced recently at the Little Theatre being one such product. The tenacity however, with which heroic legends cling to undeservingly famous men of history, demonstrates the modern necessity of the debunker. The Ubyssey last term voiced its criticism of the 1933 choice of "Alibi" by the prolific mystery-machine, Agatha Christie, pointing out Vancouver's stock company could (and had) produced that type of play with finer polish and suavity. This paper is therefore gratified to observe a return to the field of better drama, and drama which benefits by that attention to detail which the Players Club is able to contribute. The Wm."t\u5 5m& BY NANCY MILES We're goaing to start the New Year rather bitterly with a doubtless futile attempt to reform you. Probably not you personally, but a certain element of the university, a distinct minority, but a minority whose powers of self- expression are of the sort to make it appear a rather overwhelming majority, which blackens the good name of the rest of the university. It's the tendency of some members of this university when assembled to go violently collegiate and become monotonously bromidic. This is a conversation distinctly heard and reported to us, by a sufferer who accompanied a group of students, all unwillingly, in the same pullman; the hour is 1:30 a.m. "Oh, Bi-ull." "I got the swellest new girdle, five dollars, it stretches three ways." "Well, Jack, I guess you'll have to sleep on a hat rack." "Does it hold you in pretty well?" "Gosh, look at the cee-yute little lace things."- "Your hat's deplorable." (Probably meaning adorable.) ''A few spanks earlier would give her a lot more charm than a three-way stretch." This in embittered tones from a non-partisan. And so on, ad infinitum, ad nauseam. Average manners and consideration for others are a requisite for every profession, with the possible exception of chorus-hoofing, shoplifting, and gangstering, and for the last named businesses, a degree is not absolutely essential. No wonder potential employers look on graduate applicants with a somewhat dubious eye. And the trouble is the loud-speakers are in a minority. A little addenda to this moral lesson might include the etiquette in taxi-cabs. A little research among the taxi companies reveals that all drivers feel they have a heavy cross to bear. Cross examination reveals that the burden is Varsity students. Chief offenses: putting feet beside them on the seat, putting feet into the front seat, which not only endangers the pristine freshness of upholstery, but makes a driver nervous, and lastly sprinkling cigarette ashes with promis- cuousn^ss. It's enough to make anyone bitter. CORRESPONDENCE BROTHER, CAN YUH SPARE A DIME ? Recent criticism by Students' Council of the methods used by the Basketball Club's executive in advertising the games in an ineffectual manner appears to us to be unfair to the officials of the athletic body in question. At present affairs in the basketball world of this city are in a sorry state with regards to finance and public interest. Therefore it seems to the unbiased observer that the basketball executive cannot be expected to produce crowds and gate receipts at a time when such commodities are practically an unknown quantity. It is true that student support of the team is decidedly lacking, but this is chiefly due to lack of time and funds rather than lack of spirit. In other years, when the depression had not affected the campus, basketball flourished and produced enough money to finance EAVESDROPPING DEPT. Our bright thought for this week does not come from the university. What we've overheard there this week would not even fit into Liberty's "Bright Sayings of Children" column. This came from the heart of a high school student, who looked soulfully into the face of a dog on Im lap, and remarked, "I'd like to bite her nose. I bet it would taste like a piece of wet Turkish Delight." USELESS INFORMATION DEPT. George Washington had a set of false teeth, a beautiful set, quite unique in history, because they were carved, en suite, from a piece of rhinoceros ivory. A spectator at the World's Fair was heard to remark-cynically, while viewing the gallery of Washington pictures, "He must have been very proud of that face of his, or else it must have hurt him to waste so much time being painted. WE GRIPE HIM The Ubyssey, Dear Sirs: I have suffered in silence overlong, and I can remain silent no longer. Last Tuesday's issue was too much. Your editorial writer gripes me. I have stood him fairly well so far, but then I always try to practice self- control. During the noon-hour when I read your sheet I have survived his political meonderuigs with little damage save a tendency towards slight indigestion during the ensuing afternoon. But now! The news story which provoked his editorial was bad enough. Both it and the editorial reek of the sensational, screaming excitedly about the cultural level of universities in general, and of thi. university in particular. One would infer from reading them that we are a lot of ninnies, numbskulls, jobberknowls and hoddy-doddies. We are not. At least most of us are not. You claim to have the results of a survey designed to determine the most widely read publication among the students of U.B.C. I happen to have learned that your survey was taken ln a small cl.iss of history honour students, They selected the National Geograpnic, Current History, and so on. If it had been a class of chemistry students the choices would have been Chemical Abstracts and the Journal of the American Chemical Society. So what? Your survey was simply not sig- nlflcant, yet you based your "lead" story on It. Gentlemen, I ask you, is that the practice of a reputable publication? And what, may I ask, have you got against McLean's Magazine? As popular magazines 30 Its standard is quite respectable. To mention it in the same breath with Liberty is nothing short of lese majeste . Surely you don't mean to imply that people who read more often for enjoyment than for increasing their understanding of thc oppressed minorities in the Balkans are morons. I, for one, hope they are not. And speaking of literary quality, your editorial writer must himself admit that his effusions are far from being masterpieces of literary style. And to make matters worse, he follows his dissertation on our literary low-life with a blurb labelled, "Wanna picture?" It's beyond me. I have a few words for the Campus Crab, as well. Let him rant at the futility of Latin and Greek If he will, but please try to instil In his heart an appreciation for German. He said it is useful in science, but that all the important works have been translated anyway. If he will tell me where I may obtain translations of Beilsteln, which comes in umpteen volumes without which tha organic chemist would be lost, or of such journals as Bevichte der deutsche chemische Gesellschaft from say 1850 on, or of the Kolloid-Zeitschrift, which is probably the best journal of colloid chemistry ,n any language, including the Scandinavian, I shall be not only immenst.-ly gratified, but I shall also be sui prised. To conclude on a more pleasant note, please offer my thanks to Mr. Mayse for his story. It was more enjoyable than anything I have read for some time. Hoping you will be the same, I am Yours sincerely, NOKTON WILSON, '34 in competition that Is as stiff, as, if not stiff er than that of any other major sport on the campus. This is the Club's second year in the V. and D. First division, in which section of the league the teams are selected from the pick of Vancouver's soccer world and are not limited by restrictions that are imposed on our team Nevertheless, although the Soccer Club does not have a large turnout of prospective players, It fields one of the strongest teams in the league. If the Club were advened to a major standing, the turnout would be proportionately greater and the resulting teams proportionately stronger. At present Varsity Is one of the biggest drawing cards in the V. and D. First Division, having but lately beaten the Chinese (3-0) and drawn with St. Andrews (1-1;. (c) For continuance of the present calibre of the Varsity Soccer Club, the following points will prove the stability of the game on the campus: 1. All Elementary Schools take part in soccer leagues. High schools carry on the work, and various junior leagues also produce players. 2. This year two recruits from first year men made places at once on the senior team. Probably three of this year's Junior Alliance team are ready for promotion. With men coming in from the High Schools, the problem seems met and likely to be met from year to year. 3. There is occasionally, every year in fact, a good soccer player who is attracted away from the game by the lure of a major sport and its possibilities of winning a Big Block. A major standing would eliminate this loss of playing material. 4. The Interclass League uncovers dormant talent in a manner that Is quite impossible to duplicate in some sports on the campus that possess a major rating, (di flayers who have performed on Varsity's Senior Soccer team in the past, and those who are playing at present, are of sufficiently high calibre to be sought out as desirable performers by teams of the Pacific Coast and Senior Soccer Leagues. This rates them as amongst the best in the province.

Other subjects discussed were plans for Hi-Jinks, and the possibility of allowing student clubs to meet in the Women's Common Rooms. The University of Toronto Alumni, who have made en annual gift of $50 to the bursary fund in the past, have doubled their allowance this year. Another gift was acknowledged from the children of St. Anthony's College, who contributed $50, the proceeds from a play which they presented Hi-Jink-, the women's annual masquerade, will be held in the Gym. The tentative date set is Jan. 25. Plans for skits and games are being arranged by Eleanor Walker and an orchestra will be in attendance for he benefit of the gaily-clad co-eds who assemble for this traditional fete. It was decided by the meeting to permit meetings of various undergraduate organizations in the Women's Common Room. The feeling was that while these rooms were exclusively the property of the feminine element, yet, since they are the only available rooms of their type on the campus, they should be made free to clubs that wish to use them. Toronto University Offers Fellowships The Scholarship Committee of the Alumni Federation of the University of Toronto offers two Open Fellowships of Five Hundred Dollars each in the School of Graduate Studies of the University, under the following regulations for 1933-1934: 1.

Gossip "about town" on collegiate extravagances is not usuaUy reliable, but the one about the Frat Party on New Year's Eve during which a member insisted on baptising his new tux by immersing himself in a ditch and then rolling on a very muddy road, appears to be well substantiated. So does the other one about the infantile undergraduate who attempted to heave a cat into the punch bowl, with a resultant breakage of glassware. Having spent the last ten years before the mast, as a brakeman on railroads, or working in the mines, I am far from being a prohibitionist, either theoretically or practically, but I have had impressed upon me the fact that even among the more brutalized classes of society, the man who cannot hold his Uquor is regarded contemptuously. * • • The function of a University is not to be a guardian of pubUc morals (God forbid), but this appears to be a case for action. I would be the first to explode In indignant verbal pyrotechnics if the Senate or the Board attempted to Interfere with my alcoholic consumption, but when we are saddled with pimply white rabbit* of the variety that persists in making a public show of Its adolescent conception of virility, we are ln need of discipline suited to their Junior high school mentality. Alternatively, if the Senate is justified in rusticating students for lack of industry or academic ability, would it not be equally justified, and much to be commended, if it took steps to rid us of morons who are incapable of assimilating the culture and dignity we are supposed to inculcate ? If they cannot become inebriated in a decent manner, let them depart to some other sphere where their nauseating juvenilities may gain the applause they seem to think they deserve. If our vaunted superiority to the common herd exists at all, its first manifestation should be the pursuit of our vices in a fastidious manner. • • • Has anything more deliciously absurd than the Idea of University students filling local pulpits in order to advocate international peace, together with the subsequent development of the idea, ever occurred on our campu:; Olympus itself is quaking with the cachinnation of the High Gods. Do you need a diagram, dear reader, to appreciate this mirth provoking illogicality ? Here it is. First, the minor chuckles. It appears that some fifty or sixty pulpits are to be supplied simultaneously with perfervid orators, to impress the populace with our pacifist leanings. Can you imagine the sponsors of this foreordained fiasco rushing madly around the campus behind bloodhounds trained to recognize competent speakers at sight, or, rather, smell ? What are the odds on their finding the required battalion of spellbinders in our student body ? Or if they accept the services of the self-elected silver-tongueds that are doubtless waiting to sacrifice their modesty on the altar of fraternal love, can you imagine the anguish of the suffering congregations? The speakers are to be official rep- resentativas of the University. Wouldn't it be rather embarassing for the five or six clubs behind the movement to find the O.T.C. or the militant churchmen who voted last year to fight "for King and Country," demanding an opportunity to express their views, as i. their undeniable right, if the movement professes to speak for us all? But the main side-splitting occurs in the deliberations of the clubs themselves. These cooing doves, these highly advertised "turners of the others cheek," held a banquet to discuss the best method of damping the pugratious instincts of the public. It was a long and arduous discussion. So far as has been learned, no lives were lost, but the argument flamed high. Christian turned the other cheek to Christian, till patience wore thin, and they sought opportunity to bury their fangs in each others' juglars. Bhuddlst and Mohammedan, Jew and Atheist, gave practical demonstrations of their traditional love for each other, with occasional healthy digs at their Christian brethern. These were promptly returned. In fact the Christian delegation was by no means the most backward in passing compliments. Finally they proposed to take refuge in the usual stoim cellar of any group of Varsity students when faced with problems beyond their tender intelligence. They considered forming a new club.

The Campus Crab has refused to accept the position of official referee In the new organization. • • • Occasionally the Campus Crab is salutarily humbled. He has just discovered that the Master of Concentrated Phrase long ago covered the first portion of this outburst in one sentence. Listen, and revere. "There'3 men as can drink their whack and be no worse for it; them's grown men, but thc boys drink for honoui ond glory-Lord 'elp e'm—and they should be dealt with different." In dealing with the explanations of the 5 different kinds of variables, Mr. Gage said that in the case of the eclipsing binaries, one darker body i. believed to revolve about a brighter one. The maximum brilliancy occurs when the stars do not obscure one another. The primary or more marked minimum brilliance occurs when the dark body hides the bright one and vice versa. The Doppler effect is used in determining the orbit of the companion star. In the case of tha Cepheids, Mr. Gage said that there are many theories. Sir James Jeans has formed the Fission theory that the Cepheid is a star about to become a binary. There is also a theory that the revolving companion draws a cloud of nebulous matter behind it. Here how- .ver, observations and theory do not agree. Eddington's pulsation theory postulates that th. star contracts. The heat thus produced expands it again. But it overcools and contracts again until a pulsation is set up. The objection to this theory Is that only about one star :n a million is a Oe- phpheid and such a phenomenon would be much more common If that was the real explanation. The lecturer said that the variation of the long period variables is probably due to a slight contraction and expansion. There is also the sunspot theory. This theory may apply to the irregular variables. The Novae are the most sensational of the variables. They rise and fall quickly in brUliance and then tail off gradually Into obscurity. They are of what is known as the super- giant class and are yellowish-white. One theory is that they may, like a meteor, pass through a nebulous cloud and increase In heqt and light very greatly. Mr. Gage showed some Interesting slides of light curves of different types of variables and of photographs of Novae end star clusters and so on.

H. Gage of the U.B.C., in his address on "Variable Stars," given to the meeting of the Vancouver branch of the Royal Astronomical Society on Tuesday. Variable stars have been known and observed at odd intervals from some time before the birth of Christ continued Mr. Gage, but it is only comparatively recently that they have been examined carefuUy and that scientists have tried to explain the phenomenon. Tycho's Star The flrat important one waa Tycho's •tar, seen by Tycho in 1*10. This star appeared in the sky and ln a few daya attained almost to tho first magnitude. Then It faded rapidly into obscurity. This particular type are called Novae. Theto have appeared about 50 Novae ainco M00. Some year* later, observers saw en- other varying star, Mira in the constellation of Cents. This was a periodic variable; changing from the 9th to the 2nd magnitude and back in 300 days. Changing Magnitude Then ln 1873 Algol waa discovered to be a variable. It is In the daaa known as the eclipsing binaries. It* period of change was 2Vs days. On February 21, 1901, Anderson discovered Nova Persae. It changed its apparent magnitude from 2.7 to 0.0 In 2 days and was exceeded in brilliance only by Sirius. It returned to , the 3d magnitude ln 7 days for 14 months. It is now fluctuating between the 13th and 14th magnitude. 300 Light Yean In 1886 said Mr. Gage, Pickering of Harvard institued a photographic patrol. Photography is a great aid ln the discovery and examination of these variables. It reveals a nebulous mantle around Nova Persae which seems to be almost characteristic of Novae. IncidentaUy, Nova Nersae is so far away that the Ught we seen now left it aproximately 300 years ago. Most of the variable* have been discovered by accident and amateurs have done a lot of work in this field. The discovery however, is the easi.st part, for all avaU- able data must be collected and light curves plotted and the periodic magnitude found. Light Curves Mr. Gage described and explained the light curves of stars and showed what kind of curve certain particular types of variable have. On the basis of light curves, he said that Pickering of Harvard has made the following classification. First there are periodic stars and then non-periodic. Under the periodic stars are the eclipsing binaries, th. short period variables or Cepheid. and the long period variables. Under the non-aperiodic are irregular variables and the Novae. The variables nre also classified by their spectra revealed the speaker. The spectrum is an indication of the condition and composition of the source. The Doppler effect is very important . The direction and amount of displacement of the lines in this effect gives the direction of movement of the star and its velocity.

The Victoria team has played once so far losing to the Vancouver Reps by a narrow margin. Varsity last played on Christmas day when the team lost to the touring Californians. Backfield Improved Coach Tyrewhitt has been putting the team through a stiff series of practice session*. There have been three so far this week. On Wednesday Tyrewhitt concentrated his attention on the backfield which has not of late been showing its early season form. He believes that he has, however, removed the rough spots. Picked Squad According to information available at time of going to press the following men wlU form the Blue and Gold squad: Ken Mercer, Al. Mercer, Tye, Le- gatt, Dalton, Owen, Brand, Pugh, Gaul, Senkler, Mitchell, Harrison, Maguire, Pearson, Upward, Pyle, Clement and Morriss. U.B.C. Experienced Twelve of these men have had) former McKecknie Cup experience which should help Varsity to win. Victoria's' team is mostly composed of new comers to the championship aeries who, except tor the game against Vancouver, have had no previous experience.

At last Varsity teams are to have a cognomen. No longer are mere Cougars, Bears, Vandals, Lions, GrizzUes, or Huskies to daunt the victorious march of the Blue and Gold Brigade. Wo Spot Our Men! With that heroic stanza ringing in their ears, de- votee3 of every conceivable sport on this fair campus are foreseeing great things for their alma mater. Flinging aside Spartans, Thunderbirds, Corsairs, Musqeams and Golden Eagles, future leaders of British Columbia, have voiced an overwhelming demand for their preference. Dalton Scores! Results of the final count tomorrow will see Originator Chris Dalton carried down the Quad in triumphant procession on the shoulders of his rabid followers. It is rumoured that the presidency of the Students' Council wiU not be too great an honor to bestow on this great benefactor to his alma mater. Hours that were spent toiling over midnight oil—racking his brain for the sake of athletics, will not go in vain. All hail to the next president of the Alma Mater Society! Worth of the superb slogan that accompanies the new cognomen has been vouched tor by no less a celebrity VOTE A NAME NOW! AGNEW than a professor of the department of economics t Powerful Weapon Vancouver weather detracts somewhat from the veracity of this value, however. In an exclusive interview, Prof. J. Friend Day informed the Ubyssey that the commercial value of Guano deposits depends on an absolute absence of rain. Judging from the condition of the fields where most Varsity teams do their aU ibr Alma Mater, would the plays be as effective ? Powerful in nitrogen and phosphor- ups, guano fetches, as much as thirty dollars a ton when brought to market. Imagine the pride of the doting fathers when they will be able to point to a screaming newspaper headline "GUANO TEAMS RETAIN RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP' and say, "My son plays flying wing!" Edlton Defied "You can smell guano ships miles away," Prof. Day is quoted as saying. What a distinction for B.C.'s university ! "Once taking on a cargo, they can never again be used for anything else." Will athletics take the place of studies on this campus? A tremendous avalanche for the favorite is expected tomorrow. With thoughts of glorious cheers ringing out over grid-irons and gym floor, "Rah ! Rah ! Seagulls!" students are flocking to the polls to defy sporting editors by voting unanimously for their choice. Only the occasional whisper is heard, "We spot our men, but can we take it?" Track Boss Here's Don McTavish, president of the Track Club, who is responsible for the arranging of the coming meet at Victoria on Jan. 19. He will head the Varsity delegation in. that city, and is confident that Varsity will provide plenty of competition in all the e\ents. Don will take an active part in the meet by participating in many of the events.

Varsity's track men wiU have a new experience when they compete with Victoria "Y" on a cement floor next Friday. Try-outs On Monday At the meeting held yesterday, it was decided to hold a try-out meet at the Stadium playing-field in order to make a final choice of the contestants. Events Chosen Negotiations which were carried on with Victoria resulted in the foUowing events being chosen: 45-yard sprint, 220, 440, 880, and 1 mile. There will also be a relay consisting of four 220-yard laps. A broad jump and a high jump wlU also take place. A shot putt event has also been arranged, and a sawdust pit will be used it the contestant can heave the shot far enough. There is also a possibility that hurdle events will come off at the meet. Men In Training In the meantime the men are gating in shape for tlie try-outs on Monday, which commence at 12:15. In the event of poor weather, the work-outs will be postponed tiU Tuesday. One difficulty to be experienced at the meet at Victoria will be in starting, due to the fact that there will be no starting holes in the concrete floor. Extensive Program An extensive program for the Spring term has been arranged, and wiU be announced in theh next issue. In the meantime, all efforts are being put forward to provide a good showing on January 19 at the Island City. Both Classes of '37 Down Classes of '34 Interclass basketbaU started out with a bang this week with both '37 classes winning their games in respective leagues. Both these wins were over the much touted class of '34. Fair Game The Science game on Wednesday was a nice mild workout for '37. In the first half they piled up 18 points while allowing their opponents a nice fresh goose-egg. The second half was a repetition of the first, except that '34 got one basket and two foul shots, one of which was technical. The score ended at 40 to 4 for '37. Bill Swan and BilK Big Bad) Wolfe were outstanding on the winning team. Upset Dope The Arts game revealed at last a team to topple the' "super-Classers". Arts '37, chiefly through the efforts of Frank Hay and Ralph Henderson, former Senior A players, beat the formerly unbeatable team ot '34 by a score of 23-12. Sc. '35 vs Sc. '36. Thurs.

In view of the fact that many votes were polled for names not included on the ballot the staff decided that Varsity would be assured of a more satisfactory cognomen if every title suggested by a generous student body be included for marking. The voting will still close Saturday noon, as before announced. Varsity's new team name will bo included in Tuesday's issue of Jan. 16. After a comparatively lengthy layoff, Varsity's' senior soccermen will don their armour for the first time in the New Year tomorrow, to meet the invading Vikings on the Kerrisdale plains. Hard Battle At the start of the present season Varsity administered a crushing 5-1 defeat to the Norsemen but the latter came out on top in a cup-game by a 1-0 score. So the rubber should be decided tomorrow. And as Vikings only last week held the fleety Chinese Students to a 2-2 draw, U.B.C. "whatses" will be sure of an exceptionally hard battle. Strong Eleven With this in mind and with an eye on the valuable brace of points. Varsity's management has selected a formidable eleven to take the field. With the exception of Millar, McGill and Dave Todd, seasoned performers, the Collegians will be at the proverbial "full strength tomorrow when "Baldy" Clifton blows his judiciary whistle at 2:30 p.m. Line Up: Here is the probable line-up: Goal, Stan Greenwood; Backs, Jock Waugh, and Ernie Costain; halfbacks, Bish Thurber, Bill Wolfe, Russ Stewart; forwards, Hughie Smith, Paul Kozoolin (c), Jack Martin, Archie MacDougall, Gerry Sutherland or Tong Louie.

Best Game of the Year This promises to be one of the best basketbaU programs this year and a large turnout is expected. These are the first of a series of games in which there will be keen competition for the league title. Adanacs and Varsity are not such prime favorites as when they started the season as the other two squads are making a very determined challenge for their position. Henderson, Hay—Out The loss of Henderson and Hay has severely crippled the Varsity team but some promising material is under consideration. However, at present, no new men have been signed on. Osborne is the only guard left, and Wright and Pringle will probably be moved back from the forward Une to take the place of the missing defence men. It is hoped that the depleted team will make up in skill what it lacks in numbers. r I Documentary V Evidence Proves That HOME GAS Equals or Excels in Miles- per-Gallon all Other Gas* olines Sold in British Columbia. 1 "YOU CAN BUY NO BETTER' Scott's Where you meet your friends after the theatre— after the game.
