Famed Duo Plays Here In Month • A GIGANTIC pass feature with Arthur Benjamin, the noted pianist and William Primrose, the famous viola player, scheduled for Feb. 23 in the Auditorium, it was announced today by the Special Events Committee. William Primrose, widely known and recognized as one of the greatest viola players of the present day made his debut In London at the age of 17 playing the Elgar Concerto with the Albert Hall Orchestra, on the violin. After further study in Belgium he was persuaded to take up the viola by the great master, Eugene Ysaye, gave his first solo viola performance In 1931 and has since been acclaimed thc greatest virtouso of this instrument in the world. Arthur Benjamin, who will accompany him on the piano is well known in music circles and is at "present living in Vancouver as Musical Director of the C.B.C. Prom Queens On Display At Pep Meet Tuesday • "NO FLOWERS at this Junior Prom," today announced Hugh Ritchie, Junior class president. Instead small button holes will be on sale at the Commodore on the night of the dance. Ambitious Program Set For I.S.S.

No. 27 '41 Q ueen Slick Thief Steals Cash • A THIEF paid a visit to the Delta Gamma table this week and stole a considerable amount of money from two of the girls. A purse containing $3.00 was stolen from Eileen Rushworth and |1.50 was taken from Bunty Jukes' purse. The actions of the thief show that she is not new at stealing. The fact that she left the large purse, after removing the money, and took the small purse seem to Indicate this. All Countries Must Co0operate Says McKenzie • R. T. McKENZIE of the extension department spoke before the C.S.A.D.C. Tuesday, taking ai his subject, "Towards a Planned Society." He commended the League of Nations idea even though it had failed in the past and said that in the future no one nation must take on too much responsibility in keeping such a league working. "There must be social security in all countries after tne war," he said. "But Anglo-Saxon nations can't do it alone. They must cooperate with other nations." The minimum requirements for a peace, according to Mr. McKenzie are: 1. International control of armed forces. 2. Common tariff rates. 3. Internationalization of colonies with a redistribution of raw materials. They will cost only 50c and all will be expected to purchase their own. The difference between the cost and the price of these button holes will be given to the Red Cross. There will be a pep meet In the Auditorium on Tuesday at 12:30. Entertainment will include a parade of Prom Queens and music by Ole Olson and his orchestra. WHICH ONE Nominations for Prom Qi •<">!? zrc Margaret Gardiner, Betty Harvey, Bette Anderson, Patricia Meredith, Vivian Dilger, Mary Drury and Mary Farrell, Junior class tickets may be obtained on presentation of Student passes at the A.M.S. office. A foolproof system has been worked out-to prevent the bootlegging of tickets. The name on the pass will be written across the ticket when it is issued, and the pass and ticket must both be shown at the Commodore. Unsigned passes must be signed be* fore tickets will be issued. All others may purchase their tickets in the Quad box office, commencing today, from 12:30- 1:30, $1.50 for single tickets and S3.00 a couple. Hi-Jinx Shrinks Too Many Frails - Not Any Males • NO MEN ALLOWED. This was the cry at the annual Hi-Jinx festivity of the Women's Undergraduate Society last night. Proving that there is something about a uniform, even if the uniform is draped around a female form, gay crowds ot girls in all types of military attire, paper hats, wooden swords, battled for balloons, etc., swung and marched to the music of the Wurlitzer after the grand march. Skits were presented by all faculties, and the Gym roof was lifted off its supports by the roars of laughter that greeted these earnest efforts. Totem Sale Prolonged . . . Again! • "THEY'LL do it every time. That's the way Totem editors are summing up Varsity students today, as they again extend their sales deadline, and put Totems on sale in the Caf. Last Tuesday had been publicized as the last possible time to deposit dollars down on 1942 Totems. Last Tuesday, a fair volume of business was transacted in the Caf. But Wednesday and Thursday, students streamed into the Publications Office, with various alibis for their tardiness, and so, despite the inconvenience of further sales extensions, Totems will again go on sale today, in the Caf, from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. and all day Tuesday In tho Pub Office — for the last time. Forumites Uphold King's^ Conscription Plebiscite • THE STRIDENT GHOSTS of English 9 popped up Wednesday noon in Aggie 100 when a startled audience of some 50 students heard Foster Isherwood quote ". . . there is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune" as argument that the Canadian government should institute overseas conscription without its promised plebiscite. Gone Are These Days Alberta Waw-Waws Feed Soldiers Java On Parade By JOHN SCOTT • THE UBYSSEY hesitates to print this, as A.W.O.L. en masse will probably result, but the news must be told and tell it we will, even at the risk of depleting the strength of the U.B.C. contingent, C.O.T.C. The University of Alberta con- bii^mm^m«i^mmhb tingent, C.O.T.C, takes time out on drill parades for coffee and doughnuts! Before mass migrations to the University of Alberta start, how- evrr. it's only fair to tell you there is a slight charge of 5 cents for this service. The idea was conceivd by tho canteen and commissariat section of the Women's War Services (Waw-Wnws) who wanted to get practical experience in serving food to the troops. The grub is dished out to the men during break periods while they are in training. The girls have the serving down to a science. In five minutes they can serve 75 hungry, thirsty and tired cadets. Their equipment was supplied by the C.O.T.C. It is strictly non-profit, any money left over is turned back to buy more food. So women of U.B.C, remember that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, unless you do something about it immediately you arc faced with the imminent danger of losing your male population to the sweethearts of old Alberta. Leading speaker for the House, Michael Young entered a strong plea in defense of Mr. King's declared Intention to seek public release from "no conscription" election promises. "We, by this plebiscite, have shown the world that we have such a measure of control over our government that they cannot go ahead without our approval. We stand to lose no 'prestige* — we should not be ashamed, but proud, to say that our government has frankly come to us for approval." Isherwood sharply rapped the government for "its failure to recognize the change in public opinion." Lister Sinclair, Player's clubber, interjected a caustic note into the discussion. Flaying preceding speakers against the plebiscite, he chlded: "Some have been speaking with uncommon brilliance upon a subject which Is not being discussed here." • FOR THE first time in years the parking lot is almost clear of papers and bottle3, and is no longer a disgrace. No longer do sights of empty bottles, wadded paper, and orange peelings greet undergraduate eyes. No longer do irate motorists curse over cut tires. Their precious Fire- stones are safe. Banished from the student's list of fears are"the burly Big Block men, prowling the parking lot looking for culprits. This comes as a result of the uction taken by council during the Cleaned-up Now year in an attempt to tidy up the parking lot. Thc action taken includes the suspension of A.M.S. passes for throwing bottles and paper away in the parking lot and prohibiting the removal of bottles from the caf and the bus stop. New Teachers Experience First Pedagogical Trials by HAROLD BURKS • EVERY YEAR would-be teachers from the University sally forth to do battle on the minds of young Vancouver. It is doubtful who gets the most education but young Varsity certainly learns, as seventy-odd student teachers will testify. Back after tWO weeks In the wmmmm^^mmmm—mm—m—mm high schools across the city they tell of days of strain and worry waiting for inspectors and preparing lessons and keeping tab on large ungainly adolescents. Stationed at King Edward, Archie Bain reports. "It is hard to get used to seeing so many large children but after a while you assert your mastery." Dora Combolos, back from John Oliver, said she enjoyed it too. A decided opinicn from Harry Laronde featured his reaction to Kitsilano High School. "This high school is large and impressive and I found a great variation In the social and economic standing of the students." Another John Oliver student teacher told of a happy time there. "I enjoyed it very much," said Alva Nichols. "The thing that Impressed me most was the spirit between the teacher and the student." One unrelenting note came from Nancy Carr who was at Kitsilano High School. "No, I didn't like it. It was the big boys that gave the most trouble. However, the teachers were good to me." Page Two- THE UBYSSEY Friday, January 30, 1942 • From Thc Editor's Pen » » University Comradeship Just before the Christmas holidays a disastrous fire swept the campus of Mt. Allison University, situated at Sackville, New Brunswick, completely destroying the Men's Residence. Four students lost their lives in the catastrophe. The other 200 inhabit-, ants of the building escaped, but lost all their personal belongings and books. This week our Students' Council decided to send the entire proceeds from the Harlem Globe Trotters basketball game, a- mounting to approximately $100, to the students of Mt. Allison as an expression of U.B.C.'s sympathy in their loss, and as our contribution to the re-establishment of the unfortunate students. Undergraduates at the University of Brunswick, closest rivals of Mt. Allison in all forms of competition, were the first to come forward with a contribution for their fellow students. Although they only have an enrolment of 350 students, U.N.B. has set on objective of $200 as their gift. Moreover they sent out a plea to other Canadian universities on behalf of the students of Mt. Allison, requesting that all follow their example. This was a fine gesture made by the New Brunswickians. We sincerely hope their requests will be answered 100%. As our cheque for $100 speeds on its way across the continent, students of Mt. Allison may rest assured the heart-felt sympathy of the students of U.B.C. goes with it. An Artificial Nation Criticism from almost every part of the Dominion has been heaped on Mr. King for his untimely decision to hold a national plebiscite. We say ALMOST every part, for there is one powerful section of Canada which still believes Mr. King should stick to his election promise of "no conscription", let alone hold a new vote on the subject. That section, of course, is Quebec. The other day Canadian Press released a story from Montreal relating how Premier Adelard Godbout had addressed a meeting composed largely of French Canadian students. This worthy Canadian statesman asserted he was sure Mr. King would not impose conscription, adding that he thought "conscription for overseas service would actually be a crime." After the meeting, the students marched through the streets shouting, "A bas, a bas la conscription." It has been generally conceded the reason why Mr. King was sidetracked onto a plebiscite instead of taking the direct and logical road of immediate action was the French Canadians. He would lose their political support if he came out flatly for conscription. And that would mean political disunity and chaos at a time when Canada can not afford it. Ever since Canada was welded into a nation back in 1867 there has been dissen- tion between French Canadians and English Canadians. No matter how much solder is heaped on the jagged crevice, the seam always breaks open, revealing two races running unnaturally side by side. Both races are intensely Canadian, in their own way. The trouble is, neither can see eye to eye with the other and friction results. Friction which might conceivably become hot enough to melt all the artificial bonds which try to make Canada one united nation. This is why Mr. King is playing around with words, plebiscites, politics. This is why we have to waste precious months and money when we should be getting action immediately. Jabcz Writes To The Gateway After Some Tinn Ed. Note: We told you before thai Alberta's Gateway had been reprinting the Inimitable 'Mummery*. Here Is the letter Jabot sent to the Gateway, just as they printed It. Wo don't think it should bo kept from our own undergrads. Droollng-on-Sea, Upswich Downs, B.C., Dec. 17, 1M1. Editor, Tho Gateway: Door Ed.—Some weeks ago, for reasons best known to yourself, you allowed "Ubyssey" agents to smuggle my column, "The Mummery," into the hitherto unsullied pages of your paper. Naturally I was entranced. According to a recent poll, I have no relatives In Alberta and It was charming indeed to find someone outside the family was interested in the Work. Moreover, sm curator of the largest collection of rejection slips this side of Fanny Hurst, I am always prone to salivate happily at the sight of my stuff in print. I have nix-notes from all of tho other good publications that don't print pictures of nudes. I have everything from a five-page essay, with bibliography, from the Atlantic Monthly, to a cryptic "Uh-uh" from the Reader's Digest. Tho only non-collegiate publication to accept my work has been the Christian Science Monitor. And then if I wrote anything worth while, they put it in quotation marks and said that Jesus said it. So I was delighted to discover my column, word for word, right down to the last typographical error, reproduced in your paper, whose merits I had never fully appreciation before. Then, in successive weeks, more reproductions appeared. These were quickly brought to my attention. Or If they were not quickly brought to my attention, I tore tho paper apart looking for them. Mall day found mo waiting for the postman with ill-disguised anguish, standing first on one leg and then the other, until I could seize The Gateway from the terrified civil servant and strain the columns through my eager orbs in search of the goo. Some time afterwards, another pub member would come up and mention that you had reprinted my column again. Whereupon I would flick thc beads of sweat nonchalantly off my brow and murmur. "You don't say. Must be hard up for copy. Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha!" And then I would stumble off to some quiet corner where I could stop my knees from knocking. Life became a hell of suspense. I knew that once you stopped printing the columns, our editor, a sensitive chap, would be obliged, for the dignity and prestige of the "Ubyatey" to blot me out. When writing a column, I had constantly to ask myself: would Alberta like this? would this hurt the wheat grower? shall V mention grasshoppers? Here is some fine material about how one of our co-eds, Gertie Pugg, changed her skin in fror* ri the Library after a particular jeavy exam. But does Alberta know Gertie Pugg? Probably not; or under another name at least. And so the Pugg Incident must be ignored. Then, a few weeks ago Andy Snaddon blew the whole thing up. While flailing about for copy one day, he exhumed the idea of protesting about your not giving mo a by-line in a recent reprint. 1 was. appalled to r-Md this flagrant assertion of my rights. You could give the by-line to King Tut for all I cared, as long as the column was there, and I'm sure Tut wouldn't mind. But the fat was in the fire, as we say out here. Alberta exchange students snarled at me in the quad. Heated letters were written to the Editor, threatening to throw the prairies at us. It got so that I cringed abjectly before a pound of Alberta butter (36o a lb.). Of course, I more or less expected a warm rejoinder from The Gateway, with perhaps a riposte by Mr. Snaddon and a counter- riposte by The Gateway, with my reputation being pounded back and forth across tho Rockies, while I watched helplessly, like a spectator at a ping-pong match. But no. The latest issue of your paper contains a heart-warming open letter to JABEZ (in letters of « height inspiring nothing if not vertigo), a letter in which the Tuesday Editor, an obviously brilliant chap, has some very nice things to say about "The Mummery." Incredible as it may seem, It is to acknowledge with thanks these sentimento that this letter has been written. I would like to exchange photographs with the Tuesday Editor, if he's not already married. I am six feet high, in my stocking feet, and standing on a small stool provided for the purpose. I h.ve dark, curly bags under my eyes, and am reputed to have a winning smile, especially when I have my teeth in. I alco wash my things, like Claudette Colbert, in Lux. But on her they look good. — I am, ilr, Your obedient servant, at Union rates, -JABEZ. By DORWTN BATRD NO, NOT THAT! Surely these aging eyea are deceiving me! It couldn't have been that I read in a recent Ubyssey that students were complaining about Caf food? I hereby call all U.B.C. grads to rise up and do something about this. From time immemorial it has been the undented right of thc undergraduate to raise a beef about Caf food, with special attention toward the coffee. But— to carry the thing too far and gtt Council to contact the administration, well, that is too much. Remember this — it is highly possible that this complaint will result in improved conditions. That will mean — and consider this — that succeeding generations of students will be minus the greatest single source of spare time discontent. You can carry a thing like that too far. On top of it all, may I stick my neck out by saying that in comparison to some of the hash joints known as cafes down town, tho Caf Is a gourmet's heaven. In conclusion I'd like to spike a rumor that was rampant on the campus some years ago. It was to the effect that the B.CJD.R. buses sold their old crank case oil to the Caf as a base for the Collet. This was quite wrong. In fact the opposite was true, Caf coffee went into the buses — and served well there. Seriously though ~ the Caf is not a bad place to eat Much of what is wrong with the place i» the atmosphere, which is created by those who inhabit the premises. Tho trouble with some of those who complain is that their dignity is hurt by having to serve themselves. DrMOUT Presumably, the "dim-out" regulations have forced the university authorities to turn out the lights on the campus at night — that is, the outside lights. Yet tha lights in the library still glow to a late hour, and in a chem lab somewhere a light guides a lonely worker who watches an all-night experiment. A good many years ago I wrotj a piece in these pages all about the lights of the campus, and how, no matter what happened elsewhere, those lights should be kep*. burning. For together they indicate the light that is freedom of thought. They are still burning, but it must be harder now. It must be hard amidst all the war to keen LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Editor, the Ubyssey, Dear Sir: In the January 20th Issue of the Ubyssey, considerable publicity was given to the thought: "no flowers by request" as announced by the Red Cross Ball Committee. This request was made apparently to keep down the already heavy expense of those planning to attend. Why stop there? Why not request the ladies also to forego their usual hair-do, or perhaps that extra new pair of slippers, or whatever new might be needed! Or, if it is the gentlemen's purse that is being considered, why not a "gentlemen's agreement" that no pressing or cleaning jobs are to be done on the evening suit — maybe no refreshments — or, in a real desire to help the war effort, shouldn't gas and rubber be conserved and everybody use the street carl To go further, one might suggest doing without an expensive orchestra, and Instead, dance to the strains of "canned" music — and in a less expensive atmosphere. All this saving could certainly pile up to a heap more tor the real worthy object, wouldn't it — or would it? Far be it from me to suggest any of these ideas to this Committee, as I would be the last one to Interfere with another working man's livelihood. To me and my fifty odd employees, selling flowers is our bread and butter. To those in other businesses, selling their services is their only way of paying the taxes our government so badly needs. No one could criticise any individual if he chooses to do without a corsage, or any of our modern luxures, but is it a Committee's job to single out one item of expense for attenUon, or is it your duty to publish it? Tuum Est! Yours very truly, —Joe Brown, Arts '23 (ED. NOTE: It is not our job to dictate any Committee's policy, but It certainly Is our job to publicize the policies which are decided upon.) one's mind on sucha down-to- earth subject as education. Yet kep in mind what has happened to the grand universities of the old world. They are closed — either by edict or by bombs. Paris, Vienna, Berlin. Cities where great men did great deeds for the world, in the halls of universities that lead the world. When this is all over — the universities of the new world will have an added burden. Perhaps even here at U.B.C. the seriousness of that burden will make itself felt. Perhaps here the atmosphere will become like that of a university, less like a carefree high school. This has been a wandering thought — we can just mark it down to day dreaming Yet there isn't one of us who wouldn't be proud if U.B.C. brought forward a great man who would give the world a great deed. We'd all take a little credit for it. MORE FUN Last week's Red Cross Ball Pep Meet — the one where I dodged eggs — was a good example of the truism that you can have more fun at such affairs if you "do it yourself." It was a Varsity bond — a Varsity chorus — and Varsity entertainers throughout. It seemed to me that the audience enjoyed it a lot more than they have the occasional appearance of professional talent from town. Strangely enough, while this university has always stood high In Its production of drama by the Players' Club, operetta by the Musical Society, and publications by the Pub Board — it has flopped badly In the past in tackling the problem of popular musical entertainment. Up to now, it has been a campus without a good orchestra, without a vocalist or dance team worth mentioning.. These things shouldn't be overdone, but around here they have always been overlooked. The band on the stage the other day was GOOD. The chorus was ditto, showing hard training — and the solo effort by Farina, while not artistic, pleased the crowd. That in th'1 end, is the criterion by which we judge. One of these days the campus will boast a boy or girl, or both, who can write a good, compact little musical show. Then the picture of extra-curricular artistic effort will be properly rounded. (MEMBER C.UJ».)

This lecture is one of the series under the general topic "The War and Social Change", sponsored by the C.S.A.D.C. (Following is a letter sent to Harry Home after his report on Canadian-U. S. merger,—Ed.) Greetings Harry: Very pleased to read your report as printed in the Ubyssey. Enclosed please find part of a letter sent to one of the Vancouver papers. I have travelled extensively up and down the Pacific coast from Alaska's boundary to Mexico, and have met many people on both sides of the 49th who would like to have North America unified both for protection and efficient L production in tune of peace. Canadians are as much at home , south of the 49th parallel as they are while living in tho northern portion of this conlnent. An investigation shows that one third of the people of Canadian stock now live in the U. S.j while many of us In Canada live and work with people born In the U.S.A. without recognizing any difference. Why then do we maintain an interference boundary that prevents free flow of goods and services across this 49th parallel, and even Into Alaska? The war Is quickly making us realize the advantages of becoming one unified country, pooling all our resources to permit efficient production in abundance. It is not only the University students who are realizing the importance of eliminating ths International Boundary. —Cyril Large. (ED. NOTE.—The following is a letter written to a University coed by her mother.) Dear Frances: There is one thing you young people, who are a bit confused — there is one thing as I started to say, that you forget. It is that after a war is over the country is in greater need than ever before of doctors, engineers and scientists. That is why, until the enemy is overpowering us, our young people must be kept in school, to be fitted for the staggering task ahead. So you young people who hear the sound of guns, content yourselves to serve as best you can and learn as fast as you can. You will bo needed aa you never dreamed yoU would be. Learn all you can. Afterward there will bo the vast reconstruction period for which you must fit yourself. You cannot be the leaders If you are not prepared. So stick to your learnin.g.

Bail Clird Campus Crossword Rentals To ■ By jack McMillan Bridge Fans • STARTING February 2, U.B.C.'s bridge addicts will have to bring their own cards or do without, according to a new edict issued by the Student's Council, Thursday. "They haven't played square with us," said A.M.S. Treasurer Keith Porter, explaining the decision, "cards have been taken out, cards of inferior quality returned in their place, and the 50 cent deposit taken." Another reason given by tho treasurer was that the extra work of the office staff In issuing the cards and looking after the deposits was a waste of time. REACTION Student opinion seems to be that the Council's action was unnecessary, as many of the players thought they would have to bring their own cards in the future, because of the tattered condition of the A.M.S. cards. Typical comment by the student Culbertsons was, "The cards are just lousy, anyway, so what?" A third year Artsman came forward with a suggestion that students who are Interested would be willing to pay a little extra in order to continue the service. But the council decision remains.

It is now a question of whether the co-eds can cope with their problem, figuratively speaking, without recourse to elasticized garments. Various suggestions were offered by the coeds as regards the problem of correct carriage. One shy young thing, overwhelmed by our direct attack, murmured something incoherent about "Plaster of Paris" and then retreated precipitately. ft THE STUDENT COUNCIL, annoyed at complaints reaching them that many persons have attended parties in Brock Hall free by climbing up the fire-escapes, has sent over a request to Mr. Lee, Building superintendent, to cut off these ladders at the regulation height of eight feet Formerly, they were only one foot off the ground.

The Thunderbirds, employing a tight zone defense, held the edge over the losers in their close checking, their rebound and loose ball recovery, their speed, and in their shooting. Syme Marches On Cup Team Invades Victoria This Week • FRIDAY NIGHT AT 12:00 o'clock Varsity's English Rugby team will take the boat for the Capital City in the annual invasion classic. The long delayed game with the Victoria Reps will be played on Saturday at 2:00 o'clock. Confident of victory, after three weeks of gruelling practices, the team is in fine shape both morally and physically. Fielding a strong scrum backed up by a co-ordinated backfield, the boys of U.B.C. will give the Victoria team a real fight for the laurels. The game was attended by a pathetically small student gathering most of whom dropped la out at habit and stayed to watch the most enjoyable game of she year. The 'Bird shooting quite outshone the Stacy crew. Varsity made 19 out of their II free shots good while the losers had to be content with sinking four el their II. Paced by that snappy Me Bar- tea, Franklin, end Kermode, tho studeats outsmarted tho ..Stacy crew and showed every possibility of auklng a good showing la tho playoffs. To got in the playoffs tho students need one more was over tho Stacy entry. The game started out slowly, and it must have been five minutes before Bumstead then Samson in quick succession chalked up four points for the Stacy crew. It looked as it it was going to be the same old story all over again. Then Varsity pulled up their socks and started. Led by Harry Kermode, who accounted for five markers In the first quarter, the studes quickly pulled up to and passed the losers to end the quarter leading by 11-9. Once winning the lead the Varsity five never relinquished it throughout the game, slowly forging ahead point by point till the game closed. Franklin and Kermode Spark Team The second quarter saw Varsity pull slowly ahead of tho tiring Stacys, with Barton accounting for •ix more tallies, which drew the students out in front by M-17 by the half. After the breather the 'Birds really started to roll. All through the last half, the students capitalized on their superior speed and defense to lay a series of sneaker and set up plays that left no doubt to their playing superiority. Franklin, and Barton had an 'on' night. Their checking left little to be desired, and their long shots drew cheers from the sparsely pop ulated gym. Kermode's playmak- Ing was good, but several blunders in the early part of the game might have cost the team their win against stricter opposition. This Saturday night the 'Birds will make their delayed jaunt to Victoria to tackle the highly rated Dominoes. This game was originally scheduled for the V.A.C. gym but has been transferred to the Island City because Maury Van Vliet is travelling with the McKechnie Cup rugger squad who are playing the Crimson Tide in the afternoon. Cagers Invade Victoria Saturday It is not definitely known whether all of the team will make the trip but some of them may have run afoul of the military authorities because of too many skipped .parades.

Here's how they scored; Varsity: Franklin 11, Barton 9, Julien, Ryan 4, Johnson 4, Dean, Hay 3, Sully, Mottishaw, Kermode 9. - 40.

Sports A Year Ago Today e CAMPUS SENIOR "A" basketball team was the talk of the city a year ago today. The Maury Van Vliet coached squad had just stepped out and trimmed the last year Canadian Champs, the Maple Leafs, for thc second straight time in the season. Final score of the game was 31- 36, and the win was given the students by virtue of the last quarter's spirited drive which sparked them to victory. Pat Flynn was top scorer of the evening with a total of 15 points. Scott, Barton and Ryan wore outstanding for the winners also. e ICE HOCKEY players on the campus had their playoff fato hanging in balance a year ago today. Scheduled to tangle with Plywoods the Blue and Gold puck- sters needed a win to get In thc city playoffs. e ANOTHER BUNCH of hopefuls a year ago today were tho members of the Track team. Having trained all year the cinder and field men had high hopes of a meet with colleges south of the border. Stu Madden, Mike Young and Founder could all be seen going through their paces in tho stadium. e IN THE SOCCER set up a year ago today things were mighty sad. The highly rated Varsity team had only tied a lowly Woodward team 1-1. Stu 'Rochester' Roach and Laurie Young played brilliant games for the campus squad. FIRST IN TWO YEARS It is two years since Varsity seat a football team to Victoria. Last year, the invasion was ably handled by the basketball squad. Thlt year it will be a double header. The rugby team will play In tho afternoon, and the hoopsters wil star in the evening. Charlie Cotteral, Manager of the team said, "The forces of tho squad are intact, and the boys will do their best." On Monday last, coach Maury Van Vliet said that the team felt that it was up to them to prove that English Rugby was still a major sport oa the campus by winning Saturday's game. If Varsity takes the game from Victoria, and Victoria takes a game from the top place Vancouver Bulldogs, and then Varsity takes a game from Vancouver, Varsity and Vancouver will be tied for top place. Only two games have been played to date, and Vancouver has won them both. STUDENTS SHOULD GO It is hoped that as many persons as are able will go with tho team to give them the support which they need. The time may never be as good again. For tho ono trip, the loyalists that go will be able to see a football game and a basketball game. It was rumoured at press time that those players who had been declared illegible would perhaps be reinstated for the week end game. This will affect Bud Spiers, Ian Richards, Boyd Crosby and Wally Reid. If these men are allowed to play, the team will bo greatly strengthened. Even if the hope is unwaranted, Varsity will still be able to field a very strong team, capable of licking Victoria with little effort. Victoria is the traditional rival of Varsity. They won the much coveted cup last year, and all U.B.C. is hoping that this year, revenge will be ours.

John Carson drew out at the last minute so that his fraternity, Phi Delts, would have no advantage In playing on his table. Several opinions were given out at the last meeting of the Directorate, which ordinarily, had Maury been present, would not have been said. One of these slight discussions was the beef that many of the Greekers are objecting to the length of the Cross Country Race. CROSSCOUNTRY RACE It must be admitted that 2% miles is a long way (if you consider the distance from U.B.C. to Imperial St. far — a mere 40-min- ute walk) but everybody seems to forget that it is a CROSS COUNTRY; RACE. Doug Lee is definitely going to be the man to beat, with "Galloping Stu" Madden very close behind. Here are this week's basketball scores: Alpha Delta 13 — Sigma Phi Delta 14; Delta Upsilon 25 — Phi Kappa PI 11; Psi Upsilon 9 - Zeta Psi 16; Kappa Sigma 20 M Phi Kappa Sigma 17. The Kappa Sig, Phi Kappa Sig game was a real killer—for the Phi Kapps. Led by Art Monahan and Doug Watt the Phi Kapps really made the Kappa's look silly in the first half that ended 16-5. Then 6 ft. 6 Mike Goodwin stood on his toes and felt the basket with the result that the Phi Kap's fell apart getting only 1 point to the Kappa 15. Too bad 'Skulls'!. This makes the Kappa Sigs and D.U.'s tied for top with 3 games apiece. sity getting the edge. The Blue and Gold scored first on a.fluke penalty shot. Doug Todd took the shot and passed to Fred Sasaki, who bounced the ball off a Pro-Rec player, and Todd sped in for the rebound. He put it through for the initial Thunderbird score. Gordie Johnstone, student forward, chalked up another from a scramble in front of the Pro-Reo goal. But Harry Carter, Pro-Rec winger retaliated for the fitness boys after a series of clever plays. At half time, Varsity led 2-1. GOALIE SMITH STAR The second half opened with a "bang". Pro-Rec completed a dangerous attack (from Varsity's point of view) which forced goalie Herb Smith to make a spectacular save. Then, Varsity grabbed control of the sphere and Fred Sasaki registered one for the students. Five minutes later, Jim Morton, Thunderbird forward, scored the fourth Varsity goal. Then, with the ball game pretty well sewed up, Varsity led 4-1 at three-quarter time. Pro-Recs rallied for a short spurt as Len Coombes scored their final counter on a penalty shot. But when the whistle blew ending tho game, U.B.C. was pressing the play. "Wednesday's game saw the Varsity team playing well, but no one player was outstanding, with exception, perhaps, of goalie Herb Smith, who turned in a really fine game," commented Jim McCarthy, team manager. Varsity, by tlvir victory on Wednesday, was able to move further ahead of the third place Woodsonias. But the top place Police eleven swamped Woodsonias and five points still remain between U.B.C. and leadership in the league standing. LINEUP The line up Varsity used on Wednesday: Goal, Smith; Fullbacks, Young, Oughten, and Walker; Halfbacks, Louie, Wallace, and Greene; Forwards, North Sasaki, Johnstone, Tupper, Todd, and Norton. .* —The principle exports of Sweden are hired girl3. • • • • —Floods from the Mississippi may be prevented by putting big dames in the river.
