W,;v fty Issued Twice Weekly by the Students' Publications Board of The University of British Columbia VOL. XV. 'VANCOUVER, B. C, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4,1932 No. 1? Whimster To Open Stadium Varsity - Occasionals To Play Following Ceremony BUI Whimster, president of the A.M.S., wUl formaUy open the new Stadium on Saturday afternoon. In the short ceremony the Stadium will be dedicated to the University and to University Athletics. It wUl stand as yet another monument to student enterprise. FoUowing the ceremony an English Rugby game will be played—Occasionals vs. Varsity. This will be the first official game held on the new field. The Stadium campaign began in' the faU of 1930; by the spring,of '31 the students had raised about $20,000 by means of subscriptions, tag days, d, tea dances, etc. There was also a I generous gift from the faculty. The playing field and the track with the exception of the 220 straight i away were completed with this money. Though the field had to be drained it was hoped that it would be ready for use in the 1931-32 session. The grass however didn't grow properly so the opening was postponed until now. »• Last year the Student CouncU saved enough money to complete the 210 and to construct the Stadium fence, which was necessary to safeguard the 120,000 investments. They, havt also provided for proper cart of the field. "It Is hoped that it wiU be possll >>- ^i to^congtouct temporary bleachers' *.. .^~-gU»'fituriT^tet BUT ma- ster.

Heck! Third and Fourth year students are teoUng gloomy these days. Their rosy dreams art ruined. Instead of getting off on Dec. 9 for a whole month of hoUdays, as they expected, they art to have lectures untU Dec. 22. No doubt they will find some consolation in the fact that the First and Second year students will be struggling with exams at the same time. L.C.

PLAYERS' CLUB German Reparation Payment Impossible Avers Carrothers "The Lausanne Conference partially recognised that Germany wiU not pay any more reparations," stated Dr. Carrothers, speaking on that subject at a meeting of the International Relations Club, at the home of Prof, and Mrs. H. F. Angus, Wednesday evening. The speaker was of the opinion that a satisfactory agreement will not be reached, but that Germany will default. Dr. Carrothers traced the history of post war payments by Germany as set by the Treaty of Versailles and later modifications introduced by the Dawes plan and the Younge plan, Hoover moratorium, leading up to the present situation adopted at Lausanne. He said that comparatively little credit had been given to Germany for things she lost at the end of the War such as coal fields, railway equipment, investments abroad, and the greater part of her merchant marine. In 1921 Germany defaulted on her first payment resulting in the French occupation of Ruhr. There followed a period of currency inflation which lifted a burden of five million marks annually from the taxpayers.

Grads Will Be Skitted By Students Undergraduates will strut their stuff before their staid predecessors in the auditorium Friday at 8:30 p.m. The occasion wUl be Theatre Night, the first event offered in entertainment of the Grads, who will return from their various occupations out in the wide world to the halls of their Alma Mater for Homecoming week-end. A charge of 25 cents wUl be made to all students attending. The Frosh saw the performance free at the dress rehearsal Thursday. The length of the programme wUl not be a problem this year, as many .of _lhe skits have been combined or eliminated. Among the missing productions the Thoth Ballet is perhaps the most conspicuous in its absence. With the Players' Club, Musical Society, and each of the classes prepared to put over their act with the characteristic vim and vigour, the programme will proceed along the lines of satire and burlesque. Interspersed among the skits will be songs and speeches and the reading of telegrams of felicitation from Grads 'in absentia.' After the opening overture by the orchestra under the direction of Haden WilUams, and the Kla-How- Yah to the Grads, BUI Whimster wUl deUver an address of welcome to the guests.

Members of the militia will be provided with uniforms and will hold drills. They will be given the usual relief camp allowance of $7:50 a month, and the plan which was arranged partly through the co-operation of the militia units themselves is much more acceptable to the men than the actual relief camps. This particular camp contains three hundred members of the non-permanent Militia, and composes British Columbia's first labor battalion. A similar programme of relief is being inaugurated throughout the Dominion, under thc name of the Fordham Relief Commission. A quarter of a million dollars will be consumed every month in the functioning of this commission, and this sum will be provided by the Federal Government as it is needed. Vancouver's new camp is not yet at full force, as some of the men are still being transferred from the various relief camps in the province where they have been until now. When the work which these men intend to carry out during the winter is accomplished it will represent a considerable improvement, not only to the Endowment Lands, but to the University itself. Grads!

This oppprtunity ig taken by the Ubyssey to extend its heartiest greetings to returning graduates during the annual Homecoming celebrations. As we take our editorial typewriter in hand to compose a paean o! welcome to the former inhabitants of this and the Fairview campus, a multitude of platitudes and weak, empty, trite remarks burst into a shower of sparkling combinations like a Hallow'een pin-wheel. But we thrust them manfully aside and resign ourselves to the task of flagellating our benumbed brain for a few original phrases which will convey to you, the grads, a little of the pride we feel in welcoming you home. * * * Five minutes have elapsed since the completion of the last paragraph, and still no inspiration in the weary windings of our befuddled brain. * * * * VVe could say that the students deeply appreciate all that has been done for them by the graduates, but we know that the graduates already know this. We could point to the Cairn, the Gymnasium and the bright green turf of the Stadium Playing Field, and say "These and many other things have you given us," but what is the use of making aphorisms. We could enumerate a long list of honors won and good impressions made by graduates, who have built up the reputation of this, our University of British Columbia, but the Grads would reply "we know that this generation of students and many others to follow, will do no less for U. B. C." So all that is left for us to say is "Welcome home', Grads! ' We'll try to bring as much honor to our University, as you have done. Kla-How-Ya!" "THE CURFEW TOLL'D THE KNELL • • -" Once upon a time, there was a University of British Columbia and there was a Publications Board at this University. They used to publish an annual year book there, too. In the dim far-distant days of history the annual was free to everybody. But the University grew and grew, and the record of the graduation class grew greater and longer, so that it was finally decided to give the annual only to the graduates, and make all the freshmen, and sophomores and juniors, pay for it- Then there was a depression. Not a very big, or serious one, but a nice little short one, that people soon forgot. The sales of this, by then famous, book dropped off, so everybody had to pay for it. * * # * This state of affairs lasted for quite a while- Finally the Publications Board of the University we have been talking about decided to make the annual much more elaborate, so they made it a complete record of the activities of the students for a year and called it a Totem. Then the prosperity pendulum swung the other way, and in nineteen hundred and twenty-nine there was a condition of great demand, and all the Totems disappeared. This condition could not last, and so the prosperity pendulum decided to swing the other way. And there was a depression which all the newspapers decided was the greatest one there had ever been. It was a nasty depression, because everybody made it an excuse for pretending they were broker than they were. One result of this horrible catastrophe was that everybody used to look at everybody else's Totem and only a few hundred students bought the volume. • * * This made the effect of the slump very, very bad. So bad that the Publications Board decided that it could not spend so much of the students' money without a direct mandate of some kind from them. So they issued an ultimatum that unless seven hundred students promised to buy the Totem, and made a deposit of one dollar to show that they were in earnest, no Totem would be published. So great was the depression that only thirty students made a deposit one week before the last day set for these pledges of a sincere intention to buy. So now the Publications Board has ordered its mourning for the death of the Totem. But there is still time to arrange for a resurrection of this book which everybody apparently wants to see and nobody is willing to buy.

Miss Smith opened by outlining the conditions ln Japan today pointing out that there were great numbers waiting for the gospel message. She also mentioned that there was a great scarcity of ■ employment among graduates of various schools, although the educational facilities were good. She added that the increase of population per year was around one million, and that one of the greatest sources of death was suicide, since they had no God, therefore no hope. Miss Smith then outlined her work in Japan in an Interesting way, showing some pictures of the happy groups under their supervision. She stressed the point of how wonderfully God had supplied their needs. Everyone is welcome to come to the daily meetings held in Arts 204 at 12:10. On Monday a paper wiU be given and on Wednesday, November 9, Dr. Alex Esler wiU address the Union.' Correspondence ] The Editor, Dear Sir, Here is an answer to the article some days ago in the Vancouver Sun. "No! Vou can't stop students kissing." The other day our "Vancouver owned" paper printed some "hot stuff' (according to them) on its front page, also a "hot" picture. It is reported that the boys and girls of the U. B. C. kiss each other and "you can't stop them!" I am a student at the U. B. C. and. prior to coming here have had an opportunity to observe many walks of life. Young people everywhere are naturally full of emotion. Where would the world be without it? You can't pin a label like that on students only, you wiU have to include everybody under forty and many over that age. I have seen less "carrying on" here than among any other co-educational group this side of the Atlantic. In every large group of people you will find extremists, so here, at the U. B. C, but the number who go in for petting, drinking and general fast life are vastly in the minority. They couldn't be anywhere else. We are only humans the best of us and few are physically gifted to stand such strain and pass the examinations of the U. B. C, a tremendous strain in themselves. The majority of students as I have noted them are a serious conscientious body ie. witness the number studying economics, go into the library at any hour of the day. Most of us are endeavoring, many under serious handicaps, to fit ourselves for the gigantic responsibilities of the future. We are your future citizens, Vancouver, you might support our endeavors and not tolerate such frivolous, sickening rot as printed in the above mentioned article. It is a disgusting insult to the reputation of your University and to you as Intelligent people of Van- cuver city. M. L. Arts '35.

ANSWER TO AN UNSPOKEN PRAYER The recently announced grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York to the U.B.C- Library is another indication of the esteem in which this university is held all over the continent. Especially is it a tribute to the library itself, although at the same time it is one which that institution has well and truly earned. For our library now ranks as the fifth largest university library in Canada, and is unsurpassed from a viewpoint of efficiency. In this position it is an invaluable contributor to the international prestige of the university as a whole, and combined with an excellent faculty has made possible the high standard of scholarship for which U.B.C. graduates are so justly renowned/ For the maintenance of an up-to-date list of periodicals and books is one of the most essential aids offered by a university to its students, and students of U.B.C. appreciate the comprehensiveness of the material and excellenve of the service offered to them. Some have even given evidence of their appreciation by offering their services free to the library in its time of need. Credit for the intrinsic value of the U.B.C. Library as recognized in the latest grant of the Carnegie Institute is of course due to the librarian, John Ridington, and the staff of able assistants who have been working with him. Their faithful devotion to the interests of the university through its library has at last brought forth tangible fruit, and for that they are to be congratulated. Where Knowledge Helps QUALITY!

Osterhout discusses Personality Of Indian Leader The aims and aspirations of Mahatma, Gandhi were discussed by Miss Mildred Osterhout, a graduate of U.B.C., at a meeting of the S.C.M. held on Tuesday noon. During her residence in India and in Klngsley Hall, London, (where Oandhi was entertained while the recent Round Table Conference was in session), she had an excellent opportunity to meet and know Ohandi ultimately and learned to know his history and aspirations as few others have done. Educated at Oxford Oandhi was born In 18(9 in Ver- bunda, India. His father was rich and Influential and his mother was a very devout Hindu. After receiving an excellent education ln India he went to Oxford at the age of 19. Three years later he was admitted to the Bar and returned to India to practice after vainly trying to be an Englishman. Disgusted with the immorality of the Indian courts he went , to South Africa and lived in the Indian Colony* there. Passive Resistance Here he was seared to the depths of his soul by the misery of the people and from then on gave up all his worldly possessions and devoted himself to bettering the conditions of the common people. He returned to India at the outbreak of the war and was a great help to the British. After the war when the British did not grant the reforms that they had promised he turned against them and began his policy of peaceful rebellion. It is due entirely to Ohandi that Indian history since the war has not been a series of bloody massacres. Religion of Life His religion of life is briefly that Truth is Ood and Ood is Truth. He feels that one cannot know Ood but must seek him as patiently as a man who tries to empty the sea with a bucket. His policy as taught ln his school at Ashram is (1) Truth; (2) Non-violence and non-destruction of life (he is a vegetarian); (3) Love and affection for everyone, it is beneath man's dignity to hate; (4) Cel- ebacy; (5) Control of the animal appetites; (6) Equality of possession; (7) Industrialism brings no happiness, therefore abolish it; (8) Fear nothing; (9) Learn the Indian tongue.' Gandhi's success thus far has been the arousing of Indians to their wrongs and in giving a certain pride to the Indian race. Jacoby Brat.

This is natural enough In a country unified in less than seventy years, where "unity" may still bo termed a political novelty. Mussolini, borne upwards by the rising tide of national sentiment dominates Italy as the Colossus did ancient Rome. Under his guidance Italy harbours Imperial ambitions. It is yet to be seen If they can be pursued without imperilling world peace," stated Margaret Little before the third meeting this session of the Historical Society, Tuesday, at tiie home of Dr. and Mrs. Sage, Her subject was "The Rise of Italian Nationalism." Italy Emerges "A hundred years ago Italy had no political future," she declared. Tho triumphal emergence of Italy In 1871 as an united kingdom formed one of the most important events of the nineteenth century. 'Toolings of Individuality which later turned to national ambition had bean thwarted first by the ascendancy of the Papacy and the domination of the Holy Roman Empire and later by the bondage to Prance and Austria. Political Intrigues "Italy had become tho political clearing house tor the political intrigues and quarrels of Europe, so Metternlch had termed it a "mere geographical expression.' "It remained for Garibaldi, Mazzlni and Cavour to give' the idealism and organisation to the fight for liberty and nationalism, which finally matured to produce modern united Italy."

B. MOORE, Manager Science '31 Graduate Invents Propellor Elmer Martin, who graduated in 1981 in Applied Science Faculty, has invented and patented a "gadget" for improving the propellors on wind-driven machines. The new invention provides for three blades hi the pr6pellor where there had formerly been but two. In addition they have been reduced In length from 10 feet to about 8ft feet. This reduces vibration and consequently allows for the production of more power by the machine. Although the contrivance has not yet been completely tested it is expected that it will be of value to the mechanical world. Martin was well known here aa an air-minded student. He obtained his wings in the R.C.A.F. before he came to this university. GERMANY CANNOT PAY REPARATIONS (Continued from Page One) Dawes Plan In 1884 based on their capacity to pay. Ths Dawes Plan proved unsatisfactory and so tht payments were further sealed down in 1989 by the Youngs plan which definitely fixed the amount. By June 1931 the situation had become so acute that ths Hoover moratorium was introduced. Final compromise wm arrived at by the Lausanne Conference which decreed that the Germans should, sometime within throe years pay throe million gold marks. The whole situation has been made very difficult because of the different viewpoints of the countries concerned. About ten of the members of the club will represent U. B.

Page Three LITERARY CLUB DISCUSSES PARODY (Continued from Page One) the tendency to identify mere rldi^ cule with parody have resulted ln a wide-spread misconception of this form of humour," she said. Many Writers Burlesqued The most frequently mimicked writers are Tennyson, Poe, Swinburne, Wordsworth and Longfellow, while among the most frequently parodied poems are Anne Taylor's "My Mother," Poe's "Raven" and Oray's "Elegy." Gilbert, of Gilbert and Sullivan fame "possibly did more by laughing out of fashions follies of the Victorian era than any of its more serious critics did in their efforts at reform." Humour Essential "The writer of a fine parody is necessarily a real artist . . . Good breeding and self-restraint are as important requirements in a fine parodist, as are exact mental balance, critical insight and good humour," said Miss Black. "The primary aim of a .parodist is to amuse ... A parody to be truly great requires that the object caricatured be fairly familiar, which almost implies that lt be also of genuine literary value. It Is the business of the parodist to find occult resemblances In things apparently unlike. Though the abundant use of contrast he gains the essential element of surprise," she continued. She summed up the chief qualities making for a fine humourous imitation as brevity and wit, and concluded with an ode to parody itself, which declared that, "Granting quite that 'Man was made to mourn,' He eke was made to laugh and nudge and shove." DISTANCE RUNNERS TRAIN FOR CLASSIC (Continued from Page Four) will defend his title, but with Alfie Allen, Varsity's champion roller, running up to form, he will find a tough man to beat. In addition Oeorge Allen, first-string 3-mller, and Sid Swift, are conceded a good chance of winning. For the Theologs, George Cockburn will give a good account of himself. A great fighter, George, while not at his best on the cinders, finds the pavement very much to his liking. From Agriculture, the Goumeniouk brothers will provide plenty of opposition. Some of the English Rugby men, Chris Dalton, Bob " Carey, brother of Dave Carey, former Science distance ace, and Courtney Cleveland, should make a good showing.

Patricia Campbell Presents Paper On Young Author "The Young Visiters" by nine-year old Daisy Ashford, an amazing young authoress, was the subject of the book report at the Literary Forum meeting in Arts 105 last Wednesday noon. The paper wss prepared and given by Pat Campbell. Daisy Ashford was' one of a small family, brought up under the rules and regulations of parental control. She confesses "that she adored writing and used to pray for bad weather so that she could stay in and write." One reviewer writes "At first glance Daisy Ashford may appear very sophisticated, but for all her grownup ways, she remains a little child with a child's vision of her particular world. That she managed to write it down and make a novel of it ia a marvel almost too good to be true." The characterization throughout the whole story is consistent—a remarkable thing for a nine year old child to accomplish. The characters are treated with delightful simplicity and we are given quite unconsciously, some of the most amusing portraits. "Mr. Salteena was an elderly man of 48 and was fond of asking people to stay with him. He had quite a young girl staying with him of 17, named Ethel Montlcue. Mr.'Salteena had dark short hair and a moustache and whiskers which were very black and twisty. He was middle sized and had very pale blue eyes." A touch of pathos is added to the story by Mr. Salteena'a valiant efforts to become a gentleman. He draws a touching picture of himself in a letter accepting an invitation: "I do hops I shall enjoy myself with you. I am fond of digging In the garden and I am partial to ladies if they are nice. I suppose it Is my nature. I am not quits a gentleman but you would hardly notice it but can't be helped anyhow." We have perhaps the most human picture every penned of the grand historical figures. "They came to a platform draped with white velvet. Here on a golden chair was seated the Prince of Wales in a lovely ermine coat and a small but costly crown. He was chatting quite genially with some of the crowd. "Hullo," cried the Prince, quite homely and not at all grand. "So glad you turned up—quite a squash eh. One grows weary of court life. It upsets me," said the Prince lapping up his strawberry ice. One of the most charming things about Miss Ashford is her unconscious humour. "No no cried Bernard and taking the bull by both horns he kissed her violently on her dainty face." Undoubtedly some of this humour is due to misspelling and the wrong use of words but we like it chiefly because it is so unintentional. Even the most blase reader cannot help but succumb to the charms of this little story. The meeting ended with several impromptu speeches given by various members. Carnegie Bequest Assists Library (Continued from Page One) for liberal arts. 80 per cent of the books to be bought must be chosen from a list compiled by Dr. Shaw, of Swarthmore College, and revised to suit Canadian needs. The donation is made from the interest on a 87,000,000 fund for overseas dominions. 8110,000 was allotted to a group of thirty-five universities and college libraries. "It is a fine tribute to the repute of the University Library as its part of the total allotment is one twenty- second of the total amount," stated Mr. Ridington, librarian. This is the third time that British Columbia has received a large grant from the Carnegie Corporation. They financed the Fraser Valley Travelling Library with 8100,000, and they also financed a committee which is investigating Canadian library conditions. This committee is headed by Mr. Ridington. Tho chairman of the committee which decided the various grants paid a flying visit to the University library some two weeks ago, and "it is largely due to his favorable impressions that we received the grant," .was the comment Mr. Ridington had to make.

HOCKEYETTES DEFEAT VARSITY 5-0 The postponed game between U.B.- C. and Varsity was played off on Wednesday. The absence of three players from each side made the game more of a free-for-all than a hockey match. U.B.C. were much superior in the first half, scoring four goals while holding Varsity scoreless. The runs of Bea Sutton, U.B.C. wing, and the checking of Robina Mouat at full-back for Varaity featured this period. During the second half Varsity played much better, and, with the Varsity goalie playing a fine game, U.B.C. were held to one goal. The game ended with the score 5-0 in favor of U.B.C. The line-up: U. B. C—R. Brandon, Isabel McArthur, Bea Sutton, Mabel Brown, Mabel McDonald, Irene Wallace, Ad- die Thlcke, Margaret Henderson. Varsity — Pat Johnston, Robina Mouat, Ellen Raphael, Jay Wilson, Marjorie Brinks, Olive Day. Do Lawrence, Marjorie Finch. On Saturday, November 5, at 2:30 U. B.

U.B.C.Faces Bakers In Cup Game Varsity and Cowan-Dodson meet in the feature game of the first round of the O. B: Allan Cup Series on Saturday at Powell street at 2:15. These teams met last Saturday in a regular league encounter, with the Blue and Gold squad emerging victors by a 2-1 score. The 0. B. Allan Cup Series is run annually to raise funds for injured players, and is always keenly contested. The game this Saturday will be an especially hard struggle, as the Bakers will be out to avenge their defeat of last week-end. Varsity will be forced to take the field this week minus their regular left half, Ernie Costain, who received a sprained Instep in last week's struggle. His place will be taken by Cy. Manning, the veteran who played his first game last Saturday. Costain Only Absentee The rest of the team will probably line up in the same postitions as last week. Pete Frattinger, who has turned in good performances in the last four games, will be between the posts. That doughty pair, McGill and Legg, will form the last line of defence. Kozoolin will again be at centre-half, with Manning and Stewart working with him. Smith and Laurie Todd will form the right wing, with Bud Cooke and Dave Todd on the left. Otle Munday will be in the centre-forward position. The Junior team gets into action again this week after a fortnight's lay-off, when they play B. C. Sugar on the Upper Playing Field. As the Refinery team is only two places above Varsity in the standing, the boys are hopeful of gaining a couple of points. Juniors Take Basket Battle Arts '34 trotted out a serious threat to the Inter-class basketball championship on Wednesday, and handed Pi Campbell's men of '33 a most artistic 38-18 pasting ln the first game of the season. The perspiring seniors kept the score down to 12-7 in the first half, but In the final stanza it was simply one long parade to the basket for the juniors. The winners sent In Doug Mclntyre and Harold "Wottaman" Straight at guard, and between them the former Senior A stars just about ran away with the contest. Mclntyre was high man for the team with rune points, while the disciple of Lytle rang the welkin on three occasions and delighted the fans by indulging in a number of tete-a-tetes with Howie Cleveland. George Prlngle with eight points and Bobby Mac- Donald with six were also outstanding for the '34 squad. Pi Campbell, making his first appearance as coach for the graduating class, used everybody except Doc Sedgewick in an effort to halt the flood of baskets. Bill Lucas and Alf Foubister were the pick of the losers, while Wiley and McLeod had their moments alao. Bob Osborne supplied the whistling with Randy Tervo doing the book keeping.

C. championship Big Four Canadian Rugby team, defeated the crack Calgary Altomah Tigers by a score of 8-5 in the first game of the Western Provincial playoffs at Athletic Park last Wednesday night. It was undoubtedly the best game played at the local gridiron this season, and gives the peppy Orange and Black Squad a one-point lead to carry into the final game Saturday afternoon. The Calgary crew played a smart and consistent brand of football, but they will have to play much smarter still if they hope to take the series. On the other hand the Orange and Black team played In top form the whole game, and proved themselves decided contenders for the Western Canada championship. Last Game Saturday The closeness of Wednesday's game has upset all the dope on this series, and the final game Saturday afternoon should prove to be the most thrilling performance of this year. With a championship at stake, and these two teams battling for top position, anything is liable to happen tomorrow. Tickets for this game may be obtained on the campus from Al Pyke, Dick Farrington or Archie Dick. First Touchdown Needless For most of the first quarter the two teams battled evenly, and it was Varsity's Blue and Gold entry In the Burrard Basketball League took a 25-24 defeat at the hands of George Sparling's quintette at the Royal City last Wednesday night. Failure to score penalty shots told heavily on the college lads and cost them the game. This makes the score two won and two lost out of four starts, and with a whole week to practise before the next game, th? boys will have plenty of time to practise putting the ball through the hoop. A foul shot by Purves and a basket by Harvey Mclntyre opened tho scoring for Sparlings early in the first half. Campbell missed a free throw for Varsity and Harvey Mclntyre made good on two foul shots to make the score,5-0 for his team. Sparlings Gain On Fouls Nicholson broke through to score tho first tally for U.B.C, and Leo followed a moment later with a beautiful field basket. Wripht scored another 2 points to put Varsity in the lead with h^lf tho period gone. Foul shots predominated for the next few minutes, with Sparling showing deadly accuracy to take the lead once more. For the rest of the half the Sporting Goods outfit had most of the play and were leading 13-8 at the whistle. Play pepped up considerably in the second half. For the first few minutes it was all Sparlings. They solved the puzzle of the zone defence and broke through continually to pile up a 19-10 advantage. Varsity then took a spurt and piled up seven points to their opponents one. Nicholson, Lee and Campbell found the hoop in rapid succession and two foul shots were tallied to put the U.B.C. boys in a good position again. Varsity Stages Rally The Blue and Gold aggregation could have won the game on free throws granted to them in the next few minutes, but failed to make good and got only one out of five. With only two minutes to play Varsity was on the short end of a 25-19 score. They started a last minute rally that almost pulled the game out of the fire. Wright scored a penalty, and Campbell and Nicholson sent the ball through the hoop for two points each to bring the score to 24-25. However, the extra basket, which would have meant victory for Varsity was not forthcoming, and the boys were forced to take a defeat. Varsity—Nicholson (6), Lee (5), Osborne (3), Campbell (6), Douglas, K. Wright (3), D. Wright (1), Tervo, Bardsley—24. Arts '33-Wiley (2), Foubister (5), Hacker, Lucas (7), Kelly (2), Cleveland, Washington, Davidson, Stead, McLeod (2), and Houston—18. hind their own line that gave the Tigers a 5-polnt lead. Meralomas had a good share of the play In this quarter, and the touchdown against them was "just one of those things." In the second period play ranged from end to end, with plenty of long punts, and vicious tackling. No score was tallied ,and the half ended 5-0 for Calgary. Third Quarter Thrilling The third quarter was packed with Varsity's Senior "A" Womens' bas- I excitement, and the fans went wild ketball squad play their first game I when after a long drive down the of the year on Friday evening at j field, the home squad made a superb 7:00 p.m. when they take on the i final effort and crossed the Altomah Senior 'A' Women To Meet Witches Sat. Toddmen ln Soccer Win In an Interclass Soccer match at noon yesterday, Arts '34 won from Arts '35 by a score of 1-0. Although the Juniors had many chances to score they were unable to obtain the winning tally until awarded a penalty goal late in the second stanza. Ted Denne took the shot, and scored when goalie Templeton slipped in making the save. The standing in the two leagues is now as follows: Arts League— PldW L DGlsPts STUDENTS MAY TAKE LEAD BYJICTORY When Art Mercer leads the Senior Varsity English Ruggers against thq Occasionals to-morrow afternoon, the Students are out to make good the opportunity of grabbing the top position in the Tisdall Cup League. With half the regular schedule already completed and the battle for supremacy waxing hot, it is interesting to go over the ground to examine Varsity's chances of stepping into first place. A set back for Ex- King George at the hands of the N. V. All-Blacks and a win for the Blue and Gold over the Grads will give Varsity a one-point lead in the series. Judging by comparative scores both these results seem highly probable. The All-Blacks made the high score of the season last Saturday in trouncing the Rowing Club 40-0. Yet two weeks ago the Clubbers held Ex-King George to a 3-3 draw. It will not be a surprise therefore to see the ever-improving North Shore boys take the Ex-High School students by a good margin. Although the Blue and Gold squad only took a 3-0 decision from the Grads at their last meeting they are favored to repeat again in tomorrow's test. Arts '33 Arts '34 Arts '36 Arts '35 Education A. T.

Art Schuman, who knows his hockey from the ground up, was on hand coaching the players with a will. King McGregor, out on the forward line for the first season since his days as a net-minder, seems to have what it takes in the way of speed and stick-handling ability, coupled with an almost inexhaustible supply of wind. "Breezy" Fowler was showing ability at defense, and Henry Puder and he should make a strong pair. Cece Ramsden waa out to show that he has not lost any of his skill on the blades since last year. The rest of last year's Intermediate squad together with the fresh "ivory" available this season, will make a team that will take a lot of stopping. The making of a promising Junior League entry has turned up also, most of whom have had previous experience on various high school teams, and Intend to make use of it| Many of the players benefited by the sale of hockey gloves held recently by a downtown store and the Forum sheet was graced with a startling array of freshly-padded fists. The ice was in excellent condition and a pair of new nets on the goals made everything hotsy-totsy. Art Schuman is taking a great interest in the teams and is going to do all in his power to turn out a winning aggregation. With several more practices to their credit, and with some of Art's hockey experience imbibed in their makeup Varsity hockeyists will be in line to spring a few surprises in local League circles. 1 0 0- 0 Witches in the Varsity gym.

INTERSCHOLASTIC GRIDDERS IN FINE WIN OVER MAGEE Varsity Inter-scholastic Canadian rugby gridders displayed rare form j when they trounced the Magee High aggregation to the tune of 9-1 in their second game of the season at the U.B.C. stadium Wednesday afternoon. The first quarter ended in a draw, with both teams trying to find the other's weakness. The second period ended with 4 points for the "Blue and Gold," Simons scoring a field goal, and one kick to the deadline. Canto the third proved to be the most, sensational of the game, with Holden showing up in true championship style, by going through the line for 30 yards, and his next buck resulting in a touchdown for Varsity, which went unconverted. The Black and Red's only point was scored by Buerk with a kick to the dead-line, leaving the score 9-1 for Varsity. Tiie last quarter ended in a draw with Magee endeavoring to score with a series of aerial attacks. The final count was 9-1 for U.B.C. The outstanding players for the Blue and Gold were: Moffat, Simons, and Holden. Moffat and Simons showed fine form in their kicking and in getting out many long punts, and Holden played a brilliant game by gaining many yards and scoring the only touchdown, , Line-up: Moffat, SneUing, Akhurst. Crysdale, Holden, Lynotte, Clapper- ton, Simons, Mclnnes and Martin. Second Division Ruggers To Face League-Leaders The Varsity Second Division Ruggers are scheduled to meet the league-leading Marpole aggregation Saturday, 2:00 p.m., at Douglas Park. Although sickness and injuries have robbed them of Roy Stobie, the captain, and Max Stewart, flashy right winger, the team has come up to a high standard of Rugby by faithful practices and expects to take the lead by defeating the boys from the sawmill town. Last week's play has made J. Grubbe, Davu Pugh, and B. Carey regular players and Coach Bobby Gaul expects good results from them this week-end. Hopes are also held for scores by Pyle playing wing- forward in the new scrum formation. Team—J. Grubbe, D. Pugh. B. Carey, G. Sanderson, G. Stead, B. White, McDonald, J. Pyle, R. Wood. Madeley, G.
