C, FEBRUARY 12th, 1925 No. 15 SENIORS MAKE CLEANSWEEP Girls Of '25 Are Varsity Champions The keen struggle for the Chris Spencer Cup which takes place annually between the women of the University is now nearing its close. This cup was presented by Mr. Chris Spencer in 1922, with the object of encouraging inter-class competition a- mong the women of the University and it can be easily recognized that it is yearly doing a great deal to stimulate activities. This year it can be said that, although the competitiion is not yet ended, Arts '25 has practically been successful in capturing the much-coveted cup. In the aTack Meet held last term Arts '25 proved themselves the victors while '26 came 2nd, '28, 3rd and '27, 4th. In Swimming '25 also came first with '27, 2nd, '28, 3rd and '26, 4th. Arts '27 captured 1st place in Badminton, while 28 and '25 tied for 2nd with the Aggies 3rd. Basketball was another victory for '25, with *26 in 2nd place, games for 3rd place not yet having been played. The number of points gained by each class up to date are as follows: '25 14%; '27 8; '28 6%; '26 7. There are yet 2 points to be played for by '27 and '28 but this will not greatly affect the present standing. In the different athletic activities excellent support has been given to the athletic reps, ia taking part in events and turning out to practices and this has done much to run athletics on an efficient basis. Throughout their college career, the girls of Arts '25 have done good work in athletics, and during the last four years women's athletics have gone ahead by leaps and bounds. In 1921-22 the only inter-class competition was the relay won by Arts '25. The women of the year decided to put up a cup in order to keep np interest in this event. In 1922-23 the Chris Spencer Cup was established and both this and the '25 cup were carried off by '25. Last year Arts '27 won both cups with '25 close runners up for it. This year '27 again got the Relay Cup while '25 has the Spencer Cup. Doris Shorney, President of Women's Athletics, a keen follower of sport during her 4 years of college, has inspired great enthusiasm into athletics and has done much to raise their standard. The Track Champion this year was Clara Gould, and the Swimming Star, Sylvia Thrupp. Others taking a prominent part in different athletics are S. Thrupp, I. Russell, M. Bell, D. Shorney, F. Gignac, L. Mowatt, D. Murray. Remember the 28th— Keep It Open!

VALUABLE HINTS ON RELAY RACE Ezra Corntassell Foretells Result In spite of the fact that there is to be no betting this year Ye Sports Editor has been appealed to give a prognostication of this year's results. He gave the correct placing of last year's team which he didn't believe himself until it came out that way. But this year he finds that the dope is badly mixed up owing to great strides made by dark horses in the local seat of learning. Hence, for fear that he should get the horse laugh after the event he has appealed to his friend Ezra Corntassel, former well known Aggie trainer who has since retired, but .is nevertheless in close touch with the relay teams. Ezra writes as follows: Deer Buck: Am pleased to hear that yer not bettin this yeer. Course I knows thet yer never did bet much but I think yer wise to refrain altogether this year. I'm powerful disappointed in you farmers what calls yerselves Agriculturists. Yer aint like yer used to be when I was training yer and you cant win the race nohow unless yer durn lucky. But I reckon thet yer kin still give them there Arts '25 gazoos a run fer there money—heh hen! But this here back to the land stuff has bust yer up somethin fierce and I dont see much signs of Hope in Aggie and you fellows dont seem to Russell like yer used to or it would be Pye for you. I dont like to admit it Buck but between you and me and the gatepost that there Mottley bunch of steers in Arts '27 look like winners. Them there go-getters has been training ever since Matilda broke her leg in the far pasture last fall, consarn 'em. Ive heerd a lot of talk from some of them there Arts '25 critters wot copped the race last year, of repeatin. But you know Buck how them there seniors dissipate. Why even yer good for nothin Aggies may beat them because although you hev got some old grey mares youve got a durn good Paddock and there ain't none of you got no Charley horse neither. Them there seniors is gettin too old and stiff, and carryin them there gowns around like thay have all year is awful hard on the constitootion. Fourth place is hard to figger and if both the old grey mares '25 and Aggie get second and third it seems only naturel to me that a dark horse should come fourth. But I somehow figger that a Brown horse from Science '27 might get a place and if spark plug runs the last lap for them he might lick one of them there old grey mares that I figgered for third or second. The Freshies aint a dark horse this year they're a white elephant and them there elephants never was much good at running, besides they aint got no horse sense. Arts '26 may get a little Balm added to their feelins in the second lap and we Cant altogether Bar Science 26 on that lap either. If Tarr proves a good sticker for Agriculture they may get Bucked up by the end of the race too. I heard this morning that the guy that Wass on the first lap for '25 aint there no more and jest to show you how ancient they're gettin they're figgerin on comin in on the last lap by way of the old Ark. Times has changed since my day Buck, when I ran for the Hickville Hustlers in their annual race from Alfalfa Corners to Eggville. I jest got right off the hay mow and without takin off my jeans I stepped out and beat all the farmers around and a couple of dressed up city guys too— he! he! I didn't have no gels drivin JUNIOR SOCCER /MEN DEFEATED St. Mary's Win Close Game Varsity lost to St. Mary's 2-1 on a perfect pitch at Trimble Park, but in doing so almost upset the jinx that has been following them. The game was fast and clean, and the Blue and Gold wearers put up one of their best exhibitions, throwing a terrible scare into the ranks of the "enemy." On the play they deserved better fate, but it's goals that count. Settling down after a wabbly start, Varsity defended stoutly, Davies getting in some good kicking. Black took an opportunity finely and crashed one past the Blue and White goalie, and after some splendid combination, Pit- ters put a bullet drive past only to have it disqualified. It was perhaps the finest goal of the match. Shortly after this a weak clearance by a Varsity back let the ball roll out to the unmarked outside left, who was rather luckily placed, and could not have missed. Varsity pressed, but during a raid by the Churchmen a clearance unluckily struck one of their men, and the wind gently propelled the leather just over the line with no one near. However, Varsity pressed for the rest of the half, but with no results. Following a short spell in which the winners had the advantage, Varsity took the game in hand, and forced the visitors into their own goal mouth, their custodian making several brilliant clearances, but nothing got past him, and the game ended with Varsity one down. The work of Miller in goal deserves note; he substituted for Stewart, and while he was not overworked, he did his duty perfectly, and had absolutely no chance on either of the goals. The revival to form of the forward line is another pleasing aspect, and some real good combinations was served up, notably the McKinnon- Goadin and Taylor-Black, types. The backs played well. The Team—Miller, Smith, Dyres, Howarth, Davies, Taylor, McKinnon, Jaudin, Pitters, Stevenson and Black. Arts '27 and Loyalty Its rather unfortunate for Arts '27 that they could only get second place in the swimming tournament. They have so far won the basketball, badminton, soccer, tug-of-war, anu track meet, and hope to win the relay, boxing, rugby, grass hockey, rowing, checker and tiddledywinks championships. One must hand it to the sophomores—they have got lots of class spirit. Without any reflection on this class and faculty spirit, which is a very good thing, an observer can't help wishing that some of it could be directed toward a little college enthusiasm with regard to sport. When one sees grandstands empty of Varsity rooters at the football games, one wonders whether some of our pep meetings would serve a better purpose if they were staged at Brockton Point and Con Jones Park, when the McKechnie and first soccer elevens are struggling against strong opposition to bring credit to tiheir Alma Mater. Why should the moth-eaten,fungus growing, auditorium be the only place where Varsity Students get together? me out over the course timin me and holdin my hand either like some of these Arts '27 critters—bad cess to em.

In May it was repeated in Victoria and New Westminster, and also again, by request in Vancouver. Press criticism was extremely favorable, the Club was commended on the splendid acting and staging, and was acclaimed as a worthy innovation in the University life. Gradually the presentations became more ambitious and the repertoire of the club began to include the masterpieces of Wilde and Barrie. In 1920 the players toured the Okan- agan for the first time, two years later they included the Kootenay district, and last year the spring play was performed at seventeen different places. Such a cursory summary gives but an inadequate conception of the achievements of the Club which, in the small space of a decade, have been remarkable. Perhaps no other organization has done as much to convince the people of the province of the possibilities of the University, just at a time when it was absolutely necessary that many prejudices regarding it should be broken down. Apart from this, the Players' Club has succeeded in stimulating an interest in the literary drama, not only throughout the college, as was originally purposed, but throughout British Columbia. Financially too, the Club has more than justified its existence, for during the first years large rums were donated for war purposes, while more recent profits have been devoted to educational and university interests. Now, on the tenth anniversary of its formation, the Players Club is about to enter into a new phase of its existence, and everything points to a notable era in the field of the drama. The new theatre at Point Grey, is not only a vast improvement on the auditorium, but has Ibeen declared by competent critics to be the best in Canada. On entering the building, Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Aikens were immediately struck with the atmosphere which is admirably calculated to produce the proper dramatic mood, and with the possibilities of the stage for all the latest equipment. It is not without just reason, then, that we are expecting great things of the Club, under the continued guidance of its capable director, and if the past is any indication we are certain of not being disappointed. Professor Eastman / Talks On League On Monday last, Professor Eastman, under the auspices of the-ST C. M., gave a very interesting talk" on "The League of Nations and its necessity." He started by pointing out that the great mass of humanity desired peace; this being true, not only of the Christian world, but of the whole world. He then went on to show that the reason the desire of this large number of people was unattained, lay in the fact that the advocates of peace were not united—that they were prone to fight among themselves. He then answered some of the objections that are raised to the League. To the pacifist—the one that objects to the use of force in any form, even corrective—he pointed out that, to change the world to a unified, peace- loving humanity, would take time, a great deal of time, meanwhile what would happen to civilization, yes to the human race itself? Destruction! "Science," he said, "has made satanic progress in the past few years. We cannot afford to wait till the human heart is perfected. We would all be dead by then." To the man who argues that the League is political and does not use the weapon of religion in its fight against war, the speaker reiterated the fact that the League cannot take one religion for its ally since it is to embrace all nations. So, therefore, it must take the only other course; it must be political. To the man who says it is only a "Capitalistic League," a union of capitalists he gave the obvious answer, 'No matter what the form of society is the world needs the League." He went further and showed that, inasmuch as the League includes all kinds of countries, it is not purely capitalistic—some countries are "pre-capital- istic," some have evolved beyond that stage. Professor Eastman closed with words to the effect that, the world was to-day faced with two alternatives—■ mutual suicide, or mutual co-operation, i.e., the League. By The Way It was refreshing to hear a real debate, with a genuine attempt to present arguments on both sides,—after the tea-party repartee with which we were lately entertained. O "His poise was ever lofty, gentle, and symmetrical,—an excellent thing in chairmen." Every year matters are brought up by the Council that necessitate voting upon by the student body. Every year one or two students who are "agin the govt." on principle perpetuate the childish practice of throwing monkey wrenches in the machinery by clamoring for postponement and delay after everybody has had oodles of time to think the matter over. It is an old gag and a frightfully hackneyed one. the Varsity Clothes Shop of Young Wen Some men make up their minds, and most women their faces—but the ladies have something to base it on. o No, Alonzo, dead beats are not necessarily pickled.

Although some slight improvements were suggested, much satisfactiion was expressed at the favorable way in which the work is progressing.

HARD ON THE WOMEN Sir: As regards the coming election of officers on the Student's Council, I should like to deplore the lack of interest on the part of our fair co-eds. It is not a lack of.power to be interested for when discussing the last dance or the next new dress they get excited enough to upset the entire Reading Room. When they finally tear themselves away from these alluring subjects to go and vote, their choice of candidates is influenced by personal good looks and powers of light repartee. Apparently outward appearances rise above spiritual and inward glory. Nor do they show any more intelligence in the election of those of their own sex. Yours for some glimmerings of intelligence on the part of our women. Sincerely yours, A Man Who Thinks. MORE HASH To Hon. Editor, Universe of B. C.

Arts '25 Wins Game As the result of the game on Monday against Arts '26, Arts '25 has proved itself winner of the inter-class basketball competition. Arts '26 stands second, while Arts '27 and '28 have yet to play for third place. From the start, the game was marked by fast play and was witnessed by a large gallery. Arts '25 displayed good combination, while firm checking by both sides was the cause of the score not being higher. At half time the score was 6-4 in favour of the seniors, and when the final whistle blew it stood at 10-6. Arts '25 Team—D. Shorney, D. Murray, I. Russell, M. Bell, C. Williamson, E. Angell, K. Inglis. Arts '26 Team—W. Straight, D. McKay, F. Musgrave, G. Swenciski, A. Moffatt. BRIT. BROCK MAY MAKE MAINLAND On Saturday, the 14th of February, the world famous All-Blacks,now visiting Vancouver, will meet British Columbia's best in a game that will undoubtedly be remembered for many years to come. The seat sale has been tremendous, and the largest crowd ever assembled at a game in Vancouver will witness the battle. Among the thousands that will be present, will be many University students, for the game has a double attraction for the followers of the Blue and Gold. They will be there to root for their city and their Dominion, represented for a few hours by the white-shirted players of the All-Mainland team. But this is not the only reason they will turn out in force. Although at the time of going to press, the All-Mainland team has not been chosen, it is almost certain that at least one University man will be among the fifteen picked players. If such is the case, the favor will probably fall on Brit Brock, well- known member of Science '26 and star of the McKechnie Cup Rugby team. Of all University players, probably no better man could be chosen. Brit is a steady worker, always where he is needed, and a fighter to the last trill of the whistle. His entire season's play has been of a very high calibre, and the few University rooters who saw the Varsity-Victoria game a few weeks ago will never forget his sterling work. Witih five regulars off the scrum he led the patched up team in brilliant style, saving try after try by heavy tackling, and inspiring the rugby team with the spirit- that eventually held Victoria scoreless. With Brit representing the University, as is generally hoped, all rooters should turn out and cheer Canada's representatives on, if not to victory, at least to a shameless defeat. Arts '27 Takes Cup For Second Time Arts '27, unless the miraculous happens, have grasped with the greed of Shylock the Governor's Cup for their second time. These intelligent sophomores have won five firsts and one second in the great inter-racial, interdenominational, inter-class games to date and are far ahead of all competition. Perhaps it would be interesting to enumerate the events in which '27 has left the others struggling behind. It is like descending to a treasure. One views all around the bones of dead ships, the wreckage of ruined enterprises. The sophs, won the track meet rather unexpectedly, the basketball, badminton, tug-of-war, soccer and took second place in swimming. They are conceded a chance in rugby and the relay. Arts '27 has won by taking each event seriously and training conscientiously for it. The year has thus established what is apparently a record in inter-class sports.

Science Shuffle l/Is Snowy Success It was thought, after the Science Dance last year, that a degree of excellence had been reached which could not be surpassed. But this year words fail and one can only marvel at the depth of ingenuity in a Science man's mind. The decorations were novel and original. Countless flakes hung motionless in the air. Two huge snowballs were suspended on either side of the room. Green streamers draped the balcony. At one side of the.orchestra loft was mounted a huge electrically lighted University crest, across which flashed "U.B.C. Science." On the other side a large pumpkin ! face smiled, frowned and winked at what it saw. To add to the enjoyment of the evening there were moonlight dances—very often. The supper was a credit to our home catering. There were meats, cakes, ice-cream and coffee in abundance. On the tables were placed novelties—feathers stuck in burrs, whistles, horns and paper hats. After the supper the snowballs opened to let fall hundreds of smaller ones and showers of silver confetti, which caused a great deal of good na- tured amusement to the dancers who immediately engaged in a good old- fashioned snow-fight. Another original note was struck in the programmes which were cut in the letters, S. C. Peter's Orchestra contributed the most necessary part of the entertainment in a way which was delightful to the guests and brought credit to themselves. The Science women, that is, the nurses, made the snowflakes and snowballs, twenty-two thousand flakes and three hundred snowballs, which materially added to the enjoyment of the evening. The Science men report that a sum of sixty dollars will be donated to the campaign as the proceeds of "The Perfect Dance." Canadian Rugby Varsity Seniors went down to defeat before theJ5x-King_George'team; while in the junior fixture the Blue and Gold boys won a rather listless game from the Tillicums. In the second ihalf the Ex-King Geor- performances this year, Varsity had, if anything, a slight edge on her opponents, during the first two quarters- The game see-sawed back and forth with a great deal of scrum and little wing work. The second period closed with the Score even, 6-6. In the second half the E-King Georgians adopted new tactics. They began to rely more and more on their lightning-like backfield and wing plays. Varsity continued to use the direct centre pass system, and, though they dented the ex-students again and again, they could not break through. Result—the game ended with a 11-6 win for the Ex-King George team. Bates, "the tower of strength," and Winn who bore the brunt of the centre rushes, were marked men and therefore were unsuccessful in their attempts to carry through this type of play. Noble put up a game worthy of his name. However, the man to whom the rest of the team can take off their hats—helmets is more nearly correct— is Anderson. Though small of stature he certainly is "all there" when it comes to stopping the enemy. He tackled incessantly and brilliantly. ^IIGH~JINKS Time—7:30. Place—Auditorium.

We will go to the winds' end, Where the clouds are all blown by, To the seas' end and the stars' end, Only you and I.

Where the seas end and the stars end, And the clouds are all blown by, There we'll learn the way to love Only you and I. Interesting Lecture ^yOn Ancient Athens "Athens, the Glory that was Greece," was the theme of an illustrated lecture given by Rev. J. Williams Ogden, F.R.G.S. at the .Vancouver ^Institute last week. The speaker rapidly surveyed the remarkable progress made by the founders of early Greek architecture. He reviewed the work of the old masters and traced the gradual growth of the disthetic sense among later exponents of the early principles. The slides which accompanied the lecture were of a most entertaining nature. The solemn grandeur of the magnificent ruins was very impressive and words of sincere appreciation were tendered by the chairman at the close of the evening. Mr. Nelson of the Arts Historical and Scientific Society under whose auspices the main speaker for the evening had been secured, spoke briefly on the financial needs of that organization and urged public co-operation in the work of the local museum. An illustrated lecture on "Forests and Water Supply" is the subject for to-night. The speaker is Prof. H. R. Christie. A Jewish gentleman knocked at the door of a K. K. K. office. "Who's there," inquired the guard from within? "It's me, Sol Cohen." "Go on. Beat it," commanded the voice from within. "Don't you know you can't join this organization?" "Vot? Join?" replied the son of Abraham. "I don't vant to join, I vant to see the man vot buys the sheets." —Technique. From the Ground Up. Percy: "By Jove! Hasn't that girl in the daring gown wonderful eyes?" Willie: "Dunno, old deah. I haven't reached her face yet." ■•■■■■§■>■■— Co-Ed—"I suppose you've been in the navy so long that you are accustomed to sea-legs?" Middy—"Lady, I wasn't even look- in'."—Tiger. The young man approached the father of his sweetheart with the request to marry her. "Can you support a family?" the old man asked. "Heavens," said the indignant suitor, "I only asked for the girl." Prof.—The first member of my family to arrive was a baby. The second addition was twins. My mind was greatly relieved by the third addition in the form of triplets. Student—Why? Prof.—It might have been a geometric progression. We Cive 10% Off To Students CAPS IN TWEEDS, VELOURS AND CHINCHILLAS. % PATTERNS AND BLOCKS OF THE NEWEST STYLES.

McKecknie Game Near \ A crisis is approaching, a crisis in the history of Varsity senior rugby, namely on February 28th, two weeks from Saturday, when the McKechnie sam stacks up against the Vancouver .'.ep. A win or a draw means that the "cKechnie Cup will reside in our halls ■■• another year. A defeat means the ss of the cometed trophy—and this unthinkable—the Varsity MUST n. 'The team is doing its share—they nave been training hard, and for the next two weeks will be at it early and late. The game promises to be the best of the season, and it will certainly be the most important. INTERMEDIATE B z/tfAS GREAT TRIP Varsity's Intermediate "B" basketball team, which trolds the Provincial Championships, played two games over the week-end in the Interior. The Kamloops Intermediate "A" and Revel- stoke Internjediate_'-'JJ" were their opponents. On Friday the team played against Kamloops. Varsity started the scoring and had three points before their opponents registered, but the students were unable to hold the Kamloops team down and when the whistle blew at half time the score was 19-8 in Kam- loop's favor. In the second half, however, the game was more even, but the Varsity team were unable to overcome the lead of their opponents and when the game was over the score stood 29-19 in Kamloop's favor., The people of Kamloops were very kind to the boys during their short stay and gave them a good time. The next evening the Varsity squad played against the fast Revelstoke Intermediate "B" team. Varsity got away to an excellent start and at half- time were seven points ahead of their opponents. The second half, however, was very disastrous to Varsity. Some of her men were hurt and this seemed to turn the tide; for it was then that Revelstoke took the lead for the first time during the game- Some good combination plays were made and every basket was well earned. The stall system used by Varsity was new there and although it did not meet with the approval of the crowd it was effective in getting two baskets. The final score was 39-37 for Revelstoke. The Revelstoke people gave the Varsity students a good time, showing them the famous ski-hill and other attractions about the town. One thing that must be commented upon was the wonderful support given to the home teams, which helped materially to their winning the games. Those who made the trip are—J. Swanson (Capt.), E. Lee, S. Arnold, W. Turpin, B. Taylor, K. Thurston and K. Stewart. Brilliant Student WilVAddress S.C.M. Mr- Ariam Williams, of India, will address a student meeting on Tuesday next, at noon, in Room Z. His subject will be "Some Phases of the Indian Problem." Occasionally we are offered the opportunity of hearing of movements first hand. Ariam Williams' visit in Vancouver next week is just such an opportunity. Mr. Williams is a native of Ceylon and a graduate of Singapore College. For the last five years he has been doing graduate study in London and Edinburgh, making a brilliant record for himself as well as doing considerable work among his fellow country men. He is now on his way home to take up educational work there. This winter he has been on the staff of the Student Christian Movement, and has been progressing through the colleges by easy stages, with the intention of helping us to arrive at a clearer and reasonable view of our attitude towards other nations. He knows the student movements in India and Great Britain and has had an active interest in the 13. S. R. Add to this fund of experience an arresting personality and the art of forceful speech and you can judge that it will be worth your while to look him up during his stop here; also to attend the meeting on Tuesday, at 11:45, when he speaks on "Ghandi" and his influence on India. BASKETERS IN CRUCIAL GAMES V For the next three Saturdays the Senior Basketball team will be playing very important games. All three must be won if the Varsity team is to make first place in tihe League once more. The capture of the League Championship will mean a chance at the Vancouver Island teams for the B. C. championship. The games to be played in the next three weeks are therefore crucial and worthy of whole-hearted support on the part of students. Watch the Saturday papers for details and time of the games. Feb. 14, at Y. M. C. A.—Varsity vs. K. E. O. B. Feb. 21 at Normal, Varsity vs. Rowing Club. Feb. 28, at Y. M. C. A.—Varsity vs. New Westminster Y.M.C.A. Victoria College Basketballers will invade Vancouver Saturday to meet Varsity in the return contests. The College has decided to send their best men and women for the games which will be held at Normal. Varsity's fast Intermediate "B" squad will meet Victoria's men, while the Senior "A" women will oppose the Victoria co-eds. A dance will be held at Normal after the game.

Arts '28 Notes The Freshmen's undefeated rugby team Will play Victoria College in a return game this Saturday. The Victoria men were beaten in their home town by Arts '28, but the game was stopped before time on account of the muddy condition of the field. It is supposed that the teams will battle on King Edward grounds on Saturday morning, but (definite (arrangements were not made before the Ubyssey went to press. * * * Eight Freshmen will run from Point Grey site to this institution in the Arts '20 relay at 4 p.m. next Wednesday. The men have a good chance to come away with first class honors and it is up to all the students to turn out "en masse" and support them. MR. SHORE PLEASE NOTE / If on any Thursday at twelve noon, Mr. Shore will attempt to propel himself along the middle landing near the reading room door, when a thousand odd students are making a synchronous rush to a stack of Ubysseys, and the banisters groan and bulge outwards, he will perhaps be convinced that the Publications Board commands more than a "small sectional interest" in the life at U.
