Guest Editorial More Facts, Please An ancient Hindu proverb tells of four blind men who stumbled over something. One felt something smooth and pointed and thought, "a spear." The second fell something solid and rough to the touch and thought, "a wall." the third felt something smooth and flexible and thought, " a snake." The fourth felt sornething rough to the touch and round and thought, "a tree." Actually they had stumbled upon an elephant and the first man felt its tusk, the second its side, the third its trunk and the fourth man one of its legs. Which goes to show the danger of jumping to conclusions without examining all the evidence. Since 1948 the United States has spent five hundred million dollars for propaganda, chiefly in an attempt to turn the tide of world communism, (see "Billions. Blunder and Boloney." by E. W. Castle). Much of this stream of propaganda has been directed against those countries which lie just on the other side of the "iron curtain." Hungary, since the Occupation Forces moved out of Austria, has been such a country. For twenty five years, since 1919, Hungary existed under a fascist regime led by Horthy. There was strong anti- Jewish feeling in the country from the earliest days of Horthy, and this feeling increased in intensity with the years. In 1927, a treaty of friendship was signed with Mussolini. The Encyclopedia BriUanica says this of Gyula Gombos, who became PresidenfMinister in 1932: "(he was) notorious for his fascist, aati-semitic and military views, and in foreign policy the prophetic adherent of an "axis" to consist of Hungary, Italy and Germany." In 1938, Hungary pledged her full support to Hitler, and during the Second World War fought on the side of the Nazis against the Allies. •After only eight years of communist rule, there are still strong facist elements in the country. There is also a large middleelass which has been dispossesed of much of its wealth, and a large number of students who, as in most European countries, are always eager to express their radical ideas by demonstrating and other means. Propaganda has been directed to these three groups particularly and these are the most likely people to start a rebellion. A revolt, to be successful, must have a large supply of arms. Who supplied the Hungarian rebels with weapons? In the "Vancouver Herald" of Nov. 1st appeared this U.P. report: 'It was fairly obvious that the Hungarian revolution has been planned for months—or even years—but one big question remained unanswered by the rebels fighting for freedom. 'T asked the question everywhere I turned, but each time the answer was only a stoney silence. The question: '•How did you get so many guns?" "... We had them," the rebel colonel replied sharply. "You mean you've been planning this uprising for a long time, getting ready, been waiting?" I pressed. There was no answer." Certainly the communists did not supply them. It is possible that weapons were secreted across the Austrian-Hungarian border by the West? It seems ridiculous to spend five hundred million dollars mainly to stir up discontent in these communist countries, and then when all the makings are there for a revolt, not to supply the rebels with weapons. It is rather disquieting to think aobut this, the implications are so grave. For many lives have been lost in the efforts of the Hungarian and Russian armies to quell the revolt. If this whole thing has been planned by the West, on can understand America's constrenation at Britain's sudden move in Egypt as this move robbed the Hungarian revolt of much publicity. Certainly the Western powers have played the situation to the full, even to thi- extent of having refugees arrive in New Jersey with. l.iwr. paper wrapped around their feet in place of shoe-. This is p; lulermg to emotionalism carried to its extreme. If the Western powers feel justified in sacrificing Hungarian lives to stop the advances of communism, that is a matter for our leaders' own conscience, but I object to their attempts to pull the wool over our eyes. —KEN HODKINSON, ARTS 1. THE NEW REPUBLIC 'How can you justify India's double standard on colonialism?'' Answering a Canadian television interviewer. Nehru's biographer Frank Moraes did not pretend to justify. "To be candid." he said, "it's a question of color. When a white man oppresses a colored man, that to us is colonialism." Less than six weeks later thc conjunction of the Suez and Hungarian crises caught India with its double standard exposed a.s it had never been before. Yet behind India's UN vole with the Soviet Union on Russian troop withdrawals from Hungary lies more than a "question of color." Indeed, if irrational racism did in fact determine Indian diplomacy there would be little reason lo hope for improvement in India's relations with thc West. Prime Minister Nehru's three days in Washington beginning December 16 could be written off before his arrival. It is precisely because Indian behavior docs invariably have an explanation (if not justification) in the real politik of her own national interest that the terms of a long range friendship can be negotiated. India's vote on Hungary, for example, arose in part from doubts over the extent of the U.S. commitment to Pakistan in the dispute over Indian occupied Kashmir. Nehru feared that Pakistan—with possible U.S. support — would seize upon the precedent of UN election.* for application in Kashmir. TWO REALITIES India confronts two basic realities in her foreign relations, and it is these realities, n i) I emotional "Asianism," which in the final analysis decide policy. The first is the proximity of thi' Soviet Union, coupled with growing Soviet influence in Afghanistan and in restive Pakhtoon tribal areas adjacent to Kashmir. Second is the three-cornered Moslem problem -— Pakistan, Kashmir, and India's own 40 million Moslem minority. It was to give the Indian Moslems a homeland that the British carved out Pakistan 10 years ago. But while 60 million Moslems form the new state, 40 million Moslems re mained in India—and to surrender Moslem Kashmir, which is literally in the middle, would in the Indian view vindicate the theocratic basis of the partition and touch off new anti- Moslem civil war inside India. TENSION AGGRAVATED Paradoxically, the United States, acting in the name of collective security, has only aggravated the tension between India and her neighbors. Arms aid to Pakistan, one of Secretary Dulles' most pointed repudiations of Truman policy, gave thc Soviet Union its pretext to penetrate Afghanistan and the strategic Pakluooa tribes. EXTRICATE Should the President decide to extricate the United States from South Asia's family quar- rel, then the agenda for Nehru's visit automatically broadens. For a cancellation of the Pakistan Pact would signal over-all revision of U.S. policy to neutrals—leading in turn to expanded U.S. economic aid to South Asia. In return, the US could with justice press upon India our view that friendships are not nurtured on double standards of morality. Nehru's Vacillation: the West's Opportunity ? THE REPORTER A comparative study in timing provides an insight into the nature of Asian noncommittal- ism. The British-French intervention in Egypt—not to argue its merits here — drew instant denunciation from New Delhi and a formal protest to London and Paris. But the Soviet onslaught on Hungary, a rather more obvious exercise in savage colonialism, was evidently not the sort of thing on which a statesman of lofty spirit, such as Prime Minister Nehru, passes hasty judgment. MOWED DOWN PEOPLE The Hungarian rebellion started in late October. By the end of the month Russian tanks were pounding Budapest and mowing down its people. On November 1 the Hungarian government notified the United Nations of its demand on Moscow to get Soviet trofcps out of the country. On the second it was pleading with the Security Council to help launch negotiations to that end. By the fourth, at the height of the rebellion, the UN General Assembly called on the Soviet government to desist and withdraw its forces. India abstained. No instructions, its representative explained, had come from New Delhi. OFFICIAL REACTION The Times of India remarked with an air of puzzlement, "Official reactions to developments in Hungary are, strangely enough, not forthcoming." And V. K. Krishna Menon, that waspish champion of international righteousness, had no comment for reporters inquiring as to his views on the massacre. BROKE SILENCE * In short, it was not until November 5 that Nehru broke his silence, and then lie carefully linked the Soviet's dark deed with the British-French attack on Suez. Without even mentioning the Soviet Union by name, lie ruefully rioted that the five principles pledging noninterference in another nation's affairs and signed by Russia, among others, were "mere words without any meaning to some countries who claim the right of deciding pro blems by superior might.'' On the same occasion his Education Minister denounced Britain and France but mentioned the USSR only to praise its new policy of "liberation." DISPASSIONATE Even more restrained andl dispassionate was the reaction.) of the Indonesian government,! which had swiftly called an I emergency meeting of its Par-| liament to condemn the "aggression against Egypt" but asl late as November 5 was unablel to take a position on Hungary! because reports from Budapest| were still "too vague." On the ninth a carefullyl worded statement came froml Jakarta expressing "regrets''! over the "involvement'' of So-| viet troops in Hungary. Ceylon and Burma, like India, abstained in the U.N. Gen-| eral Assembly, though the Cey- lonese Prime Minister latcrl condemned the Soviet action. All in all, it has been a badl time for those Americans whol are addicted to swooning over! the spiritual superiority of thel holier-than-thou prophet-states-1 men from the mysterious East. Letters to the Editor UNJUSTIFIED The Editor, The Ubyssey: The decision of the students' council to debar Parliamentary Forum from sposoring any further Mock Parliaments in the Brock Lounge, reflects on the majority of the councils inability to recognize the importance of the Political Clubs on campus. I feel that these clubs bene- members, but alsa assist to develop a sense of responsibility and subsequently a maturer attitude in the student body. Parliamentary Forum was accused of •■jumping on the bandwagon." which I epresum means the opening of the Brock Lounge one noon hour each week for club activities.

Since the last appearance of the Critic's Page in the Ubyssey, charges ranging from conceit to cussedness to cupidity have been levelled at me. Something is wrong. I don't think you people understand me. I think I'm a discerning critic, an exciting writer, and rather a nice fellow. But many of you, apparently are so bedazzled by my technical brilliance that you cannot see that my concepts are valid and that mine is a mature and important talent. You want me to assume the death pall of a Wedman or a Kirkwood, can the funny stuff, and feed you straight goods. But after all, most movies ARE awful, and to review them in a sober, objective manner, in cold blood, as it were, must surely try sorely the patience of both critic and reader. So I strain my creative faculties to the fullest to prepare for you pleasant, digestible little tidbits — but you will not say amen. I am most in need of blessing — wherefore will you not say amen? If I am to entertain and instruct you good folk in matters cinematic, I must first be assured of your intelligence and good faith. So far, I've found little evidence of either. ,GIANT ain't no hell. T'aint even much of a spectacle. It's bumbling, uneven and disjointed, and James Dean is unfortunately so consummate an artist as to make anyone acting with him look like that rather inferior animal, a movie star. Liz (hoo-ee! those hips!) Taylor certainly acts as well as she ever has, maybe even better in a couple of scenes, and Rock Hudson comforts himself with some dignity, but Dean is the only actor to illumine every scene in which he appears, the only actor with that magic that compels a breathless scrutiny of his every move and word. He seems a sure bet for an Oscar. The supporting players, particularly Mercedes McCam- bridge and Dennis Hopper, are all fine, but knock themselves out as they may, the actors can't overcome the screenplay's disunity and tie their various episodes together. There are some good scenes, such as the funeral for the young Mexican soldier, and, earlier in the gargantuan proceedings, the breakfast-table scene in Maryland, but the whole of the picture falls short of the sum of its parts, chiefly. I think, because it never decides just what it is. or what it is trying to do. THE MOUNTAIN, a Hem- ingwayish tale of alpine deer- ing-do, features Robert Wagner, a very bad actor, and Spencer "leatherniug" Tracy, a very good one. If we can judge by this movie, R. J.'s poppa's cabbage i.s the only thing keeping the kid employed moviewise. As Tracy's determinedly schizoid brother, he struggles to portray twelve different kinds of runny alien, and succeeds only Relax, It's All Hopeless Anyhow COMFORT ME WITH APPLES; a novel by Peter De Vries, published by Little, Brown and Co., N.Y. Who followed the Lost Generation and the War Generation? According to Peter De Vries, it was and is the Dull Generation. Of such, at any rate, are the frittering flaneurs that are the principle characters of his novel PSYCHOSOMATIC MANIFESTATIONS of a severe repression i.s the diagnosis says Dr. Freud to pretty Penny Gaston. Paul Fritz is the psychoanalyst in Thursday, Friday, Saturday—the Varsity revue appearing in the Auditorium tonight and tomorrow night. in imitating a surly playboy in his cups. It's a great pity he couldn't have been killed off earlier, and Tracy left to bear the burden of the acting alone. Ol' Spence is eminently up to such a task. He is cast as a broken down Swiss peasant, always a little afraid of the mountain he so magnificently conquers. It is the ultimate in sympathetic roles, with dialogue out of Hemingway and action thrills from Boys' Own Annual. It all sits well on Tracy, who conquers both mountain and corn, and, ultimately (and this IS a feat), even the unrelentingly ferocious vJoyssey critic, I'm backing him for the Academy Award. — MIKE MATTHEWS tv Aren't Better I Jlpolnt?

JACK and MILLIE BURCHILL AL. 0339 Mr. De Vries has, for the past few years, been a leading humorist for The New Yorker, and seems most likely to best fill the silence left as vollies from the pens of E. B. White and James Thurber continue to diminish. It is with the broad strokes of the humourist that he sketches this new generation. Chick Swallow, the novel's narrator, asserts in the first paragraph: "... Man is not a donkey lured along by a carrot dangling in front of his nose, but a jet plane propelled by his exhaust," and the novel proves to be an exfoliation of the process that changes the carrot into the exhaust. Chick and his friend. Nickie Sherman, pass through adolescence avoiding responsibility and effort with a sort of fin- de-siecle finesse, confounding their parents with such lanquid observances as: "Instead of coming to one's senses . . .how more delightful to let one's senses come to one." Chick's nebulous hopes for a life of benign physical agrandizement begin to dim when Crystal Chickering, a girl whose platform is in fine shape, but whose upstate returns are disappointing, accepts the proposal of marriage that he makes in an ectasy of gratitude over the fact that their extracurricular activities have not rendered her pregnant. Four years of college and a year of inactivity devoted to painlessly estranging Crystal do not avail, and, muttering "I'll wend my maze," Chick marries the girl and settles down to life in Decency, Conneticut. When Crystal's father dies, Clvck assumes his position on the local paper, that of authoring The Lamplighter, an advice column whose cardinal feature is the Pepigrams. The youth who had said: "There is only one thing worse than not having children, and that is having them," now finds himself grinding out such Peps as: "If you keep your sleeves rolled up, you won't get so much on the cuff," and "To turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones, pick up your feet." to support a wife, two children, a sister, a mother, and a brother-in-law—•his old fellow bolevardicr, Nickie. Mr. De Vries misses few tricks a s he 1 o a d s Chick through the pitfalls and oblivion of a solid, statistical, bourgeois life. Describing the Bit; Lull, he almost always achieves the Big Laugh as Chick eventually comes to struggle to maintain the very morality that stifles his few claims to individuality, and finally becomes inextricably entrenched in the middle class, his boulevardier aspirations CRITICS CRITIC Editor, The Critic's Page: "He draweth out the thread of his verbosity finer than the staple of his argument," quoth the bard. Were it not for the lapse of centuries, Shakespeare may well have been refering to the latest Hollywood-style production by the Critic's Page of the Ubyssey. As usual, it takes the form of a dramatic monologue who as star proves he hasn't improved his ability to portray the type of character I he seems addicted to—a movie critic. Although heroic attempts | are made by the Queen's English and the Reputation of thel Ubyssey in supporting roles, | they fail to mitigate the misdirected activities of the lead4| The vehicle becomes a showcase of verbal pyrotechnics | which flare and fizzle their devious ways from one slipshod| scene to the next. Not that Mr. Matthews lacksl talent—he has talent aplenty.| But he wouldn't find more fulfillment in a humourous char-l acterization or some other buf-l foonery more congenial to thisl talent? He obviously lacks thel sensitivity and understanding! necessary for interpreting thisl admittedly difficult role. It is! not a portrayal which can be| reduced to a formula but requires instead a versatility oil expression suitable to each newl opus. Such a consistently! heavy - handed and unsympathetic treatment of the subjectl matter loses its novelty when! viewed for the third or fourth! time. Furthermore, a lively! show can be achieved without! resorting to disreputable orl flamboyant dialogue which con-j veys nothing of value to the| audience. Conceivably his interpretation is a lesser evill than that of those actor-critics! who hide their meanings inl pedantic obscurity. At least ourl critic offsets his profound jno-T ments by titillating the Goddamn lowbrows as they watch| breathlessly for samples ol blasphemy or off-ocolour innuendo. What is accomplished by attaching vulgar, little-boy ap-j pellations to the persons and| characters of everyone connected with his subjects beH yond me. Such usage couk be governed 'by its aoplicatior to the theme and not used as tawdry exhibitionism to earr an otherwise weak and nausoH at ing performance.

The cost i.s 25c and all the proceeds go to the Hungarian Scholarship Fund. Tho concert will be directed ~ " by Choral Society's new director. Mr. Theo Repel. Besides such traditional carols as "Joy to the World," the choir will sing many unusual carols as "Carol of the Drum" and 'Carol o fthe Bells." A Polish carol "God is Born," a spiritual "Listen to the Lamfos" and a Canadian carol "Quiet Chamber" will aLso be sung. Mussoc's quartet singing "Go Tell It On The Mountain" proves to be very entertaiining. The soloists are Thora Hawkey and Mervin Watson. Professor Les Crouch of, Mines and Metallurgy will play the Hammond Organ. This organ has been loaned to Mussoc specially for this concert.

Two religious groups on the campus, Varsity Christian fellowship and Student Christian Movement, have lent their support to the project. SCM has already sponsored a clothing drive in connection with Hungarian relief. All profits made from the concert next Thursday will go toward providing room and board and incidental expenses of the three Hungarian students. Transportation to Vancouver of the Hungarians will be paid for by the Federal Government. Total cost of bringing the refugee students to UBC is estimated at $2,000. If more than the required amount is accumulated by various fund-raising projects, World University Service will endeavor to bring one or two 'more Hungarian refugee students to UBC for the 1957-58 term. Part of the religious ceremony at the Choral Society's Christmas concert will be taken by Charles Hamori a Hungarian student taking a course in theology at UBC. Special prayers for Hungarian rebels now suffering from Russian aggression will be said at the concert. The concert will be presented during the long noon- hour on Thursday, December 6. Director An Unusual Man By ROSEMARY KENTBARBER UBC's unusual Musical Society naturally has a most unusual person for its Choral Director. Teo Repel has combined the careers of school teacher, farmer, soldier and cellist to come up with a warm fascinating personality. Born in Poland, he studied the cello at the Conservatory of Music in Cracow while attending social science classes at Cracow's University. He graduated in 1939, concurrently with the Germans invading Poland. Escaping to Hungary he lived there for six months and retains "warm memories of the most friendly and hospitable people on earth." "Hungary was a free country then," Mr. Repel said. "I wish there was some way we could help her to be free today but the only thing we can do is to send relief in the form of money." Mr. Repel conducts the UBC choral society in an Hungarian Relief concert on December 6. When Hungary in her turn was invaded by Germany, Mr. Repel escaped to Yugoslavia and from there to France where he joined the Free Polish Army. After the fall of France he escaped via a stolen bus, bicycles, a lorry and a British coal ship to England where he became an apprentice school instructor for the RAF. In 1948, he and his wife, a former Scottish school teacher, decided to emigrate to Canada. Only method of entry was to become a farmer so he industriously studied agriculture and, upon arrival in Vancouver bought a Lulu Island farm. "Farming didn't work out," Mr. Repel said, after a series of jobs including work with a distillery firm and a saw mill among others, he went to Vancouver's Normal School. Today he teaches music at John Oliver High School and over the years had directed many city choral groups. "I started doing that 25 years ago in Cracow," he said, "and I'm still at it today. "It's the most wonderful thing in the world to work for and with people who like to sing." Mr. Repel must mean what he says because a quick check of choral groups he presently directs includes the CBC sing- WANTED Your old double breasted suit ... to be made into a smart new single breasted model with the new trim notch lapel.

The Choral Society, which is over 80 voices strong, is directed by Mr. Theo Repel. Mr. Repel's direction has been nothing short of inspirational. This year the Choral Society is attempting not only a much greater variety of music but also music of a higher calibre. The choir is building up a repertoire ranging from oratorio to light classics and novelty tunes. Their first concert, which was for the Alumni Homecoming Tea, was a great success. The alumni were especially impressed with Theo's new arrangement of "Alma Mater" in the Bach style. Besides presenting Christmas In Song" next Thursday in aid of the Hungarian Scholarship Fund the Choral Society will sing on CBC's "Parade of Choirs" on Friday, December 14, at 10.30 p.m. There is also a possibility that the choir will go on a tour to Chilliwack and Vancouver Island points next spring. Besides the Choral Society Mussoc will be producing its 27th operetta — George Gershwin's "Girl Crazy." "Girl Crazy" will appeal not only to the Redshirts but also to all those who enjoy such Gershwin tunes as "I've Got Rhythm" and "Embrace- able You." The show is scheduled for next February. ing City Hall Choir, the Polish Quartet and of course, UBC's Choral group in the Musical Society, which he conducts in a Hungarian Relief Concert on December 6.

Student support, of Varsity rugby this year has been apathetic, as usual, and now that the UBC fifteen has begun playing its names in the Stadium, a little more 'import might be in order. .y. .y * Spectators can expect to see iha tinest rugby played in Vancouver for years. The Varsity attack is wide open, featuring a great variety of manoeuvres — USE THAT A-CARD. TO NANAIMO Bird Pucksters Play Clippers The once-strong oarsmen have been doormat of the league this year and a're without a vin in their last four outings. Ex-Brittania beat them 22-3 last week. Vietch Gets Tough Job When basketball coach Jack Pomfret gave Laurie Vietch a spot on the Varsity five, he> must have seen some talent in the 6' 3" Alberni bred basketballer. Laurie got orie of the toughest assignments of any on t he club. Take over where John McLeod left off. But, looking over Vietch's past record, Pomfret saw that he had the credentials to handle the heavy task. Laurie started playing basket-, ball in high school and then graduated to the Alberni Athletics. Following '.".' years experience with the A's he came to Varsity | and grabbed a spot on the J. V. i club last season. ; He was on coach Dick Penn's i clutch players and was a big' factor in trying to raise the low I spirit the club acquired by los- LAURIE VIETCH ing several of their games in the early part of the year. Vietch has proved himself as one of the best defensive stars on the club this year. And Pom- fret's olans are to build a strong defensive unit. This is why, along with his height and offensive ability. Laurie figures in Pomfrct's plans for t he '57 edition of the 'Birds. VARSITY FENCING CLUB WINS MATCH The UBC fencing team met some lough competition last week in it's first trip of the season. Washington State College of Pullman fielded an "A" team which was too much for our relatively unpublicized UBC squad when the U.S. whipped Varsity 4-2. However, UBC had more success against the Pullman "B" team with a convicing 5-1 win. Hans Rainer and Rod Palmer made up the Varsity squad. UBC ice-hockey will travel meet Nanaimo Clippers in jhe lost their first encounter 8-2. Hopes for n win ;jre high in the Bird eami) in spite of the former lo.'s. Nanaimo i.s in a •'soft" league and the Birds have polished off all the "rust" evidenced in their first loss. Forum All-stars from Vancouver tied the Clippers last week1 and "if they can tie them, we can beat them" seems to be the feeling. , Probable starting lineup will be Gordie Mundle and Mike Gir- oday at defence: "Red" Robertson.

'Birds Tensley is giving Howie Thomas, goalie for Varsity for three years, a tough battle for first string goalie.

The competition involves hitting the ball to the end of the field and recording the score. Intramtiral volleyball finals are held today.

Students picked for the questionaire will be selected com-1 1 pletely at random, probably ■ from the student directory. The questionaire will consist of two p?.rts. One will be on factual questions to compile statistics, such a.s "How many teams I can you name in the Conference'.''' or 'How many 'Bird games have you seen on TV?" The other part will ask for student opinions such as "Do you think UBC should slay in the Evergreen Confeernce?" or "Do you favor a referendum to raise money grants for athletics or do you think they are getting too much'.'" It is hoped that students will answer them honestly and turn them in because students will lake tho consequences if the questionaire fails. League lately, and officials have decided the easiest method of cooling off the Chiefs is to ship them to the Pen. The "Penquins," the prison's entry in Mainland Soccer, have had a consistently strong team over the past four years, witli few members lost through graduation. | As well as maintaining a 'con- ! tinuous" team, the Penquins al- I ways manage to draw an extremely large crowd, even in comparison to First Division , games played on the "outside." 'Birds are scheduled to meet South Hill Saturday at 2 p.m. at South Memorial Park, provided the fog isn't too dense. Coach. Ed. Luckett predicts a win for the 'Birds this week-end, and his prophecy should be borne out. South Hill is at present wallowing in the depths of the First Division Mainland League, but have recently added several Coast League players to their roster. It could be a tougher game than generally expected.

Wayne Pretty and Bob Wilson hive decided to spend a year in the "Land Down Under" before returning to UBC to finish their studies. Several others of the crew will make a short stopover in Honolulu before returning to another tough job; their Christmas exams. *V *r V The students aren't the only ones in the Canadian Olympic crew who will do a bit of travelling. Bob Pickell and several of his fellow teammates will tour South East Asia. New Zealand and several of the small islands in the Pacific. However. "Bus" Phillips, UBC Athletic Director said that whenever possible, thc rowing crews will be honored in a big reception on tho campus. Science Men Top Sports Intramural sports, directed by Bob Hindmarch, is going great guns at UBC. Take. touch-football for stance. The sport is UBC Thunderbirds will be shooting for their second straight Totem Tournament champonship this week-end. Lastyear the 'Birds surprised everyone by edging out a strong Pacific Lutheran squad to win the tournament for thc first time in its six year history. , Quite a few key mem are gone from last year's championship team. .Flashy guard Ed Wilde is in Melbourne at the moment; centre Mike Fraser is out for the season with a back injury; buttling guards Hcrbie Forward and Stu Madill are gone: and, worst of all, big John McLeod is no longer around. The teams trying to wrest the Totem Trophy away from thc Thunderbirds will be Western Washington, Alberni and Eilers. Western, who won the tournament in 1951 look like the most dangerous contender. Not much is definitely known about them. However, they are rumored to be much stronger this year, having picked up several top notch players on transfers from American Universities. Alberni arc supposedly their weakest in years. Yet they still have Elmer Speidfl and have just recently acquired Marvin Berg from Eilers. If they get past Western, they won't be easy. Eilers look like thc weak sister of thc lot. They have looked bad, especially on defence, in dropping their first two league games. But they're a hot and cold team and Bobby Hindmarch is worried that, after t w o bad games,Eilers might get red hot Friday night. Not knowing much about Western, it is difficult to make any predictions. Yet from here it looks like Western and UBC in the final. If that is the case, the Thunderbirds have the advantage of four weeks practice and seven exhibition games over the later starting Americans. Last year this advantage helped the Birds defeat PLC. the eventual Conference champions. The opening game at Memorial Gym goes at 7:30 tonight between 'Birds and Eliers. Alberni meets Western at nine. Thc winners of these two games clash. Saturday afternoon at two. with thc consolation game at 12:30. BRAVES PLAY AT VICTORIA TONIGHT in- drawing; from two to three hundred fans at every game. Upon watching one of the games, Athletic Director Bus Philips was heard to remark that touch-football is attracting more fans than Varsity squad ever did. With the finals coming up within a week or so. it looks like Newman and the Engineers will battle for first place. Swimming wound up its season with Engineers taking top honours with 28 points. Forestry wag second with 27. Two intramural swimming records were broken this year. He'incs of Forestry swam the 55-yard free-style in 30.7 seconds and the Engineers set a new medlcl relay time of 1:52. Engineers also took first place standing in cross-country races. (See, Engineers DO excel in something.) They kept their total down to 51 points while Forestry placed second with 65 and VOC came third with 87. Ping-Pong finals are being run off now with four men remaining in the running. Monks and Mecklin of the Engineers and Radzikowsky and Modho- singh of Fort Camp will battle for the championship. Fort Camp placed first in tennis competition. Badminton will also wind up its schedule next week. Birch of the Fijis, Lum of Chinese Varsity Club, and Holden of VOC are in the finals. Volley-ball, which has approxi- i mately 30 teams entered, will run off its finals starting next Friday. Top half of "A" division and top quarter of "B" division will play off.

Coach Peter Mullins was fair ly optimistic about tho game. "I think we'll win although the boys will have to be on their toes. After all, Cloverdale beat Eilers," was his comment. Jayvee team was strengthened this week when Dave Dumaresq, Bob Ramsey and Gordie May were cut from the Thunderbird squad for ineligibility. Only Dumaresq will play in tonight's game. Starting lineup for Jayvees will be Glen Drummond. Ken Winslade. Dave Trele\en. Raj Gailloux and Bob Zalkowitz.
