One ot tho reasons for\ntho preservation of those songs is\ntho position of the Islands, separated\ntrom the west ooast of Bootland by a\ndangerous strait. Miss Bassln then\nwent on to say that folk songs are\nthe songs that are popular among tho\ncommon people, and itave grown out\nof experience, untouched by modern\nInfluences. Many collections ot those\nHebredlan folk songs have been made.\nThe flrst of those appeared ln 1704,\nand Was published by Reverend Mo*\nDonald. Others who have contributed collections are Miss Francos tolmie\nof Skye, Miss Annie Johnson of Varra\nand Miss Murray. In 1908 one of the\nbest collections was published by Mrs.\nHenry Fraser; since then she has\nedited three more volumes.\nAs a background for her leoture\nMlsa Bassln described modern life In\ntbe Hebrides, which Is much like the\nlife in Scotland two hundred years\nago. The houses are long and one-\nstoried with rounded ends; the walls\nare of thiok stone, and the roots\nthatched, In the oldest type of house\nthe hearth is situated in the middle\nof the room; and ln the long winter\nevenings the people sit around the\nAre talking, and telling old-time\nStories and legends. Many of the in*\nhabitants are superstitious and have\ngreat belief in these old legends and\nfairy tales.\nAnother reason Miss Bassln gave\nfor the preservation of folk songs was\nthat a great deal of the work in the\nHebrides Is still done by hand. Churn*\ning and weaving are both carried on\nby hand processes, and the people\nnaturally break Into song while at\nwork. One of the most Interesting\nprocesses is that of \"waulking,\"\nshrinking of homespun. Miss Bassln\ndescribed this work, and then illustrated the kind of music sung at this\naffair, by singing ln the native language of the Hebredlans. In this type\nOf song one woman usually takes a\nsolo part, while the rest of the workers Join in on the refrain. Miss Bassln\nthen sang a reaper's song, In which the\naction of the reaping-hook was imitated.\n(Continued on Page 4)\nSenior Class will\nPlay a\u00a3'Whoja\"\n\"Too many cooks spoil the broth\"\nis a proverb that applies appropriately to class draws, and accordingly,\nwhen the lofty Seniors play the gentle game of \"Whoja\" on Thursday the\ncooks will be entirely absent.\nThis, alas, is probably the last\n\"Whoja\" Innovation ln which their\nTwenty-elghters will participate, and\nthe pleasant thrills of anticipation\nwill be modified by the sad truth that\nthe Senior Ball Is the biggest, best,\nbut last of Arts '28's series of successful olass parties.\nAs facts must be raced, even by\nSeniors, it is necessary to Bay that\nonly those students who have paid\ntheir class tees will be permitted to\nenter the draw. The Seniors are given until Wednesday noon to part with\ntheir hard-earned shekels and ducats\nto the grasping hands or the class\nsub-treasurers. Even Scotsmen ate\nnot exempt.\nIn addition, those shrinking violets\nand hardened cynics who have paid\ntheir tees but do not wish to enter\nthe speculation, are given tho same\nerlod of time to make up their minds\ndemand, courageously, that their\nnames be withdrawn. It is against\nthe Ideals of this University, so vail\nantly upheld In the past, that unwilling students should be conscripted into a class draw.\nStudent Insurance companies are\nnow open to business and will safeguard their clients against, all risks,\nIn short, the Senior Class draw will\nbe held on Thursday, February 23, In\nAp.

After a huge\nbreakfast the little company then pro*\nceeded through tho fog to the University itself where the visitors were\nshown over the various buildings and\nInitiated Into the mysteries of the revolving doors and elevator ln the Library. At luncheon the debaters were\nentertained at the Canadian Club in\nthe Oval Room of the Hotel Vancouver, and Mr. Paul of Acadia convinced his large audience that thu\nreputation of the debating team is\ncertainly well founded by his speech\non \"A National Ideal for Canada\"\nwhich was enthusiastically received\nby tho large group of. business men\nwho had assembled to hear him.\nImmediately after this luncheon the\nvisitors were taken for a tour of the\ncity that was necessarily very brief\ninasmuch as it was necessary to return to the Hotel Vancouver at -t:80\nwhere Mr. Hazen Fulton of New\nBrunswick addressed some 700 members ot the Womens Canadian Club.\nAtter a tea in the Lower Dining Hall\nthe men were taken to various homes\ntor dinner and ln the evening attended\nthe Science Ball, where for a brief\ntime they forgot the cares and\ntroubles of a prolonged and arduous\ntour.\nTo-day the debaters are in Victoria\nand will remain there till to-morrow\nafternoon when they return to Vancouver, reaching here about 7:00 p.m.,\nthus having barely time to have dinner\nbefore the Blggeat Debate of the Year\nwill be on at 8:SO In the Women's\nBuilding.

Ho reminded the students ot tho requirements for the coming elections, and gave the dates.\nAll nominations tor president ot the A.M.8. must bo In by March 5th, the\neleotion being on March 18th. All other nominations for Council must be\nin by Msrch 18th, the elootions to be held on Maroh 80th.\nIn calling on the O.T.O. discussion,\nLeslie Brown, made it clear that la\nhis opinion, the decision ot the melt*\ning would in no way constitute a motion of censure on the Students Council for sancatlonlng the O.T.C.\nWhlteltye Bpseoh\nAlbert Whlteley, the leader for the\nmotion against the O.T.C., opened the\ndiscussion. He appealed eloquently\nto the Ideals of the audience as university students in a democratic\ncountry, and showed how the C.O.T.C.\nwas opposed to these ideals. \"This\nUniversity was not one to be in*\nfluenced by outside pressure.\"\n\"Tho O.T.C,\" he said, \"dictates its\npolicy to the Counoil, the Board ot\nGovernors, and to the Senate ot the\nUniversity.\" Not only the present\npolicy must be accepted but the Uni*\nverslty would be obliged to accept any\nfuture changes In this policy.\nHe then pointed out that the O.T.O.\nwas formed tor the primary object of\nmaking militia officers.\nThis military training course would\nnot be governed by student opietotv\nConsequently, although as yet entirely\nvoluntary, lt might become a compul-\nsary course, as it almost is ln some\nCanadian universities already.\nMunn seconded Wbltely's motion.\nYerburgh'e Speech\nRichard Yerburgh, In defending the\nO.T.C, said that its primary object is\nto train citizens. He showed that\nInternational Fraternities and the\nS.C.M. are perhaps controlled from\neven more outside places than Ottawa,\nand it might be argued that they are\nas harmful to democracy as Is tbe\nO.T.C.\nHe pointed out that the desire for\nan O.T.C. at this University had originated among the students, and tha\ngoverning bodies had authorized and\napproved this formation.\n\"Everyone,\" he said, \"has their own\nIdeals, and freedom of Ideals and\nactions should bo permissible in a\ndemocratic university.\"\nHe told of the benefits the O.T.C.\nwould bring, both physically and\nmentally. Switzerland waB an example\nof a nation which had benefited by its\nsystem of military training.\nIn concluding he said, \"We do not\nwish to buy our way with a gymnasium, but we feel we can benefit,\nthe University wtth this gym.\"\nGeneral Dlsousslon\nMunn showed that the O.T.C is not\nreaching towards ideals of peace. Pre*\nparedness for war directs thought\nalong lines of military action.\nThornber emphasised the benefits of\nan O.T.C, and showed that a university Is the logical place tor such a\ncontingent, for the necessary courses\nrun concurrently.\nHatfield reminded the audience that\nthis step was not static. \"It ia a gesture one way or the other,\" he aald,\n\"and a small step in the right direction helps a lot.\"\nPllkington said that the O.T.C. men\nhad their Ideals and liked war less\nbecause they realised what It was, but\nideals must come gradually. He do*\ndared that ideals were a matter of\nIndividual opinion, and that Ideals of\na university should Include liberty In\nthought, speech and organisation.\nLane said the O.T.O. had not the\nright to form here if It was against\nthe general desire. He agreed that\nIdeals should come gradually, but they\nshould be gradual In the right direction. History had proved that preparedness was aggressive.\nMcLean defended the fraternities by\nbringing to light, as he said, \"What\nfew students realised.\" This was the\n(Continued on page 4)\nARTS MEN HOLD\nWILD SMOKEFEST\nOn Saturday night, at the Irish Fusiliers' Hall, that shocking affair called the Arts' Smoker went over amidst\nclouds of smoke to the odor of Old\nChum.\nTo set the smoker rolling, cornoobs\nand tobacco were rationed out at the\nbeginning or proceedings. Then a\nsleight-of-hand expert showed the sophisticated sophomores that they uld\nnot know everything. For several\nminutes he mystified the assembled\nmob by tearing paper and restoring\nit to Its proper shape and demonstrating card tricks and ventriloquism.\nFollowing this the meeting was formally opened by Professor Logan, who\nentertained the boys with two or\nthree of his inimitable stories, told\nonly as Professor Logan can tell\nthem.\nIn the next act, Arts *81 displayed\nmuch talent tn the art ot music. There\nwere several songs done to the height\nof perfection by the Freshmen's deep\nsonorous voices. In one ot these choruses, to the astonishment or the audience, a very beautiful young lady\npromenaded across the floor to the\ntune of \"Oh, Doris.\"\nFollowing this outburst a very creditable exhibition of boxing was put on\nby the \"he-men\" of that club. In the\nllrst bout Hayes and Woodbury displayed their ability as neckers. Woodbury showed much ducking to advantage, especially when the fight grew\nwarm. In the second bout two veritable Titans, Clltfo and Palmer, showed the advantage of an egg-crate wallop and a hefty fist. The final match\nwas the best exhibition of skill and\nthe contestants were very eveniy\nmatched. According' to 'Pinky\" \"Stewart, who managed the clinches, all the\nfights were draws.\nThen those members of the audience who could penetrate the fast developing smoke-screen, saw an exhibition of the noblo art of fencing by\nLieut, de Merveux, director of the B.\n(Continued on page 4)\nAnnual Staff Sends\nForthjvO.S.

Raid\nPEP IN GENERAL\nIn the last issue some energetic correspondent bewailed the lack ot\n\"pep\" and college spirit on tho campus. His criterion for tho\npresence of that elusive quality was interest tn athletics and well-\nonjanised pep meetings. We agree with him that the last Pep meeting\nwaa rather a fiasco (it oould be criticised from moro than one point of\nview), But no amount of gonial blah and \"rah rah\" stuff that is\nbanded over to the half-asleep mind of the student body will ever\nfive it pep or real college spirit. If the students have to he pampered\nand bribed into attending games and displaying interest in the conduct of student affairs by a lot of fatuous twaddle then the spirit so\naroused is not worth the rousing.\nBut there are other affairs in whieh that sleeping student body\nmight show a little intelligent interest. If instead of congregating to\nbe pampered into a state of artificial enthusiasm at a Pep Meeting,\nthey would interest themselves in a few of the worthwhile things about\nthem, they would derive a good deal more enjoyment and advantage\ntherefrom.\nThere is the matter of finances for example. How many students\nread the treasurer's monthly reportf How many know how the Altmt\nMater fees are being spent ? We think it advisable for students to display a little more interest in this. We suggest also that the Treasurer be\nrequired to publish a detailed report of the Alma Mater Society\nfunds every month in the \"Ubyssey.\" Not that we would criticize tho\nexpenditure of the money this year. But it is the tight and duty of\nthe students to know the financial condition in detail.\nMoreover there should be a good many more meetings of the Alma\nMater Sooiety, the Undergraduate Societies and the Athletic Associations. The real \"college spirit\" displayed at last Friday's meeting is\nsufficient proof of the effectiveness of these meetings. It is the duty\nOf the students to take a more active intrest in student government,\nand it is the duty of their executive officer* to see that they are given\nevery opportunity to meet and to express their opinion. Instead of\nthose executives establishing themselves in a position of splendid isolation as many of them have done this year, we suggest that they hold\nmore meetings and give the students an opportunity to express their\nOpinion. The meetings are good for them even if the business is not of\nweighty importance.\nTHE GIDDY WHIRL\nA glance at the calendar of forthcoming social events as well\nas that of recent weeks, gives one to realize that the social side of\na Universtiy career is being more and more over-emphasized. After\nall a university education is the goal for which we, most of us, arc\nstriving. And yet it is admittedly hard for any human being to devote\nhimself to the pursuit of this end, to the exclusion of all social diversions. And once drawn into the whirl of hoop hops, track dances,\nfaculty dances, class parties and so on, it is practically impossible to\npractise moderation.\nIn a few short weeks the conviction that has already been borne\nupon many of the students, will be brought home to all of ns; there\nare far too many social functions at present officially aanctioned by the\nstudent body.\nOf course a certain percentage of the students would not be a\nwhit better off if all social functions were cancelled. However, for\nmany the nights which are. lost to study because of the necessity for\npreparation as well as the actual dates of the functions, might be far\nbetter utilized. And many of the weaker-willed students would thank\nanyone who might enable them to spend at least one or two profitable\nevenings in each week.\nORCHESTRA WILL GIVE CONCERT\nLovers of orchestral muslo will\nbave tbe opportunity, on March the\n2nd and 3rd, of hearing a group ot\nwell prepared selections which are\nto be rendered by the Orchestra of\ntbe University of British Columbia\ntinder the baton of C. Haydn Williams. The orchestra, which is composed ot more than twenty students,\nIs exceedingly well balanced, the\nviolins and clarinets forming a sweet,\ncombination, tbe tone of which is\nrounded out and strengthened by the\npresence of a quartette ot trumpets.\nOt tbe many, musical numbers to be\npresented, each a gem in Itself, the\nmost outstanding Is tbe old favourite,\n\"Light Cavalry Overture\" by Suppe.\nwblcb la a spirited and rythmical\npiece. Realising that no orchestral\nconcert would be oomplete without a\nmarch or two, this aggregation la\noffering both \"Tbe Wee Macgreegor,\"\na Highland Patrol, and \"Prepared*\nness,\" a stirring maroh. The \"Wee\nMacgreegor\" Patrol Is in tho nature of\na descriptive selection, and as It is\nplayed, one baa tbe vision ot a Scotch\nBand appearing afar off: with well\nmarked tempo It approaches; one\nhears thai: beloved Scottish air, \"Annie Laurie,\" tbe band passes and\neventually Its martial strains are\nlost In tbe distance. The other\nmaroh, \"Preparedness,\" Is no less\npleasing with ita spirited six-eight\ntempo. Another favourite is the\n\"Minuet In 0,\" composed by Beethoven\nwhich is delightfully and daintily\nplayed by the strings and wood wind.\nVery d*Jocrlptlve and very colorful\nIs the novelette, \"In a Chinese\nTemple Garden,\" which Is In the\nsame category as \"In a Persian\nMarket.\" From the flrst note to the\nlast the listener Imagines himself to\nbe transplanted to the mystical East\nwhere he finds himself in a Chinese\ntomple garden. The piece openo\nwith a brilliant fanfare ot muted\ntrumpets and shortly after that there\ncan be heard the peaceful and soothing notes of a huge organ,\u2014the\nviolins and clarinets. The crash of\nthe cymbals and another trumpet\nfanfare rouse the listener trom his\nreverie and the selection comes to a\nclose, leaving htm with the impression\nthat there Is much activity In the\nChinese Garden.\nBesides offering this Interesting and\nvaried colection of high olaas numbers the Unlveralty Orchestra will be\nheard to fine advantage wbllnt accompanying the University Choir of\nabout sixty voices. The accompaniment for each choral selection has\nbeen written by the conductor In\nsuch a way as to further add to the\nharmony and tonal beauty of the\nvoices.\nIn rendition ot all the choral numbers the orchestra plays an Important\nrole, making the ensemble effects\nparticularly delightful.\nTickets for this Musical Concert,\nwhich is to be given on Friday and\nSaturday evening, March Snd and\n3rd, can be procured from any member of the Society or at the Kelly\nPiano Co. at 667 Granville Street.\ns)>e\"fi*\u00abi\u00bb^\u00bb \u25a0\nCorrespondence\nThe Editor,\nThe \"Ubyssey\"\nDear Madam:\nThrough your columns may I be permitted to draw the attention of the\nstudent body to a most important\nevent, not only ln the history of this\nUniversity, but also tn the history ot\nIntercollegiate relations throughout\nCanada T I refer to the debate with\nthe team that will conclude ita transcontinental tour of the Dominion on\nWednesday evening at the Women's\nBuilding. This debating tour has been\nsuccessful, and enthusiastic audiences\nhave welcomed the celebrated representatives trom New Brunswick,\nAcadia, and Dalhousle at both University and non-University centres across\nthe oontlnenti yet I ahould aot be very\ngreatly surprised if the debate with\nthis University which they have been\nlooking forward to as marking the culmination of the flrst tour under the\nauaploes ot the National Federation of\nCanadian University Students, should\nbe but poorly attended by the students.\nIt might be worthy of note that over\none thousand of the oltisens ot this\nolty have already heard these debaters at but two meetings, namely the\nluncheon at the Men's Canadian Club\nand the tea at the Women's Canadian\nOlub, yesterday. Hence lt is apparent\nthat those having no relation to tbe\nUniversity are prepared to welcome\nthese visitors of ours (T) even tf the\nstudents themselves do not.\nThis Is but typical of a general state\not affairs at the University, tor Dr.\nRoberts' lectures on Canadian literature are attended by an audlenoe that\nIs mostly composed ot the general public from the olty, and a great many of\nVarsity's athletic teams (especially Is\nthis true in the case of Soccer) are\napplauded by sportsmen who have\nnever seen the Inside ot University\nbuildings.\nSuch a sorry (or would \"laughable''\nbe a better word) state of affairs is\nnot to be merely, \"deplored\" as so\nmany ardent correspondents point out,\nbut should be very thoroughly relieved.\nThe most Important Canadian Inter-\ncolleglate debate for a great many\nyears will be that of to-morrow night.\nSurely, if not to encourage Messrs.\nTelford and Murphy of our own Institution, and if not to welcome these\nfamous men from the opposite extreme of the Dominion, the very serious obligation of maintaining the dig*\nnlty of our University before the people\nof Vancouver, demands that the students should attend In large numbers\nat this momentous occasion and thus\neliminate the danger of the majority\nof the audience being from the general\npublic.\nYours truly,\n0REV1LLB J.

The Dean flrst explained\nthat he would confine his discussion\nof Japan to the qualities inherent in\nthe people ot that country, whioh\nhad brought them to the standings of\na flrst olass power. The total area\not the islands of Japan Is one-halt the\narea of British Columbia, and aupport\na population of sixty million people,\nplus an additional eighteen million\nliving In Korea. The speaker remarked that only one-sixth ot the\nland waa possible ot cultivation, and\nthat at the present time the population had reached the saturation\npoint.\nTurning to the history of Japan\nthe speaker atated that the country\nemerged about the same time -<*\u00bb\nRome. The Japanese were originally\neaat Asians but rapidly developed\ndistinct national characteristics. The\ngovernment was flrat a centralised\nsystem. In 1198 a dual government\nwas set up, resulting In civil war for\nsome time. Peace was Anally established with the Mikado as the\nsupreme fountain ot authority and\nspiritual leader of the people. The\noivil government, however, was in\nreality controlled by the Shogun.\nLater the country was unsuccessful*\nly invaded by Kubla Khan, while\nJapan was successful ia acquiring\nKorea. The islands were flrst discovered by the Portugese in the sixteenth century. In 1549 St. Francis\nXavier went there to christianise the\nnatives. This brought an Influx of\nvarious religious sects, and when\nEurope was torn by their conflicts\nthey reaoted ln Japan. The Japanese\ninsisted on toleration and since this\nproved fruitless, they expelled the\nforeigners. As a result Europeans\nrefused to trade and Japan became\nisolated by 1641,\nAt this time the islands were\nruled by the Shogun and a class of\naristocratic soldiers. It was a primarily agricultural state. The pursuit of\nmoney was despised and merchants\nwere regarded as parasites. later\nthey grew more powerful and aided\nthe renaissance in literature and art\nby their patronage.\nIn 1854 Commodore Perry secured a treaty of friendship with\nJapan and ln 1868 a commercial\ntreaty was signed. The treaties had\nbeen made at the command of the\nShogun, and the Mikado led a popular uprising against this breach of\nits policy of self-seclusion. However,\nforeign battleships soon convinced the\npeople of the error of their ways. In\n1808 the Shogun was overthrown and\nthe Mikado restored to full powers.\nDean Brock then described the\ncharacter of the people. He showed\ntheir profound love for nature, making them appreciate cleanliness and\ndaintiness. Shtntotsm, the national\nreligion, teaches the people the love\nof simplicity, of peacefulnoas, and or\nharmony.\nMATHEMATICS CLUB\nAt the last meeting of the Mathematics Club, held at the home of Mlas\nIleth Pollock, Mr. It. M. Petrle, Arts\n'28 spoke on \"Spectroscopic lllnarles.\"\nMr. Petrle explained that these double\nstars were called Spectroscopic Binaries by reaaon of the fact that they\nare not distinguishable as double by\nthe naked eye, or by means of a telescope, but. by observation of the spectrum.\nHe went on to show the methods of\ndetermining the radial velocity and\nthe orbits of these stars, giving Illustrations from his own work on the\nsubject.\nCHEMISTRY SOCIETY\nAt a meeting of the B. C. Branch\nof the Canadlau Chemical Associate* eld last Tuesday evening at the\nUniversity Club, the U. B. C. was well\nrepresented by the Chemistry Sooiety.\nFollowing the monthly dinner of the\nAssociation, seven IT. B. C. students\nspoke on \"Tlie Chemical Aspects of\nAutomobile Manufacture.\"\nA meeting of the Society will be\nheld on Wednesday, February 22, In\nSc, Room 300, at 3 p.m., at which Dr.\nM. J. Marshall will Kp\u00abak on \"Distillation In the Laboratory.\" All students are welcome to this meeting.\nLALOUETTE\n\" ie regular meeting of \"I\/Alouetlo\"\nwas held Thursday, February 18th,\nat the homo ot Mr. 80s tad.

Chaperon Rouge.\" Miss Haddock and Mr. Beattte presented a\nshort play \"Lul et Bile.\" Miss Berry\npresided at the piano. Games and\nsongs concluded the programme.\nRidington Elected\nBookworms' Prexy\nIt IS with pleasure that the University of British Columbia learns ot the\nrecent honor bestowed upon Mr. John\nRidington, librarian of the University\nlibrary. Mr. Ridington has been appointed president ot the newly-formed\nCanadian section of the American Library Association. This new body was\ntemporarily organised at the 1817 A.\nL.A. meeting, held at Toronto.\nIn an Interview Mr. J. Ridington,\nU.B.C. Librarian, pointed out that\nleaders of the new movement were\nprobably unanimous In their decision\nthat no attempt be made of organising a rival for the A.L.A. Rather. It\nwas hoped the Canadian Association\nwould funotlon aa a branch ot the\nAmerloan body. Under such an\narrangement, the American Association would deal with all library mat*\ntors of a general nature, whereas the\nCanadian Association would take as\nUs own sphere ot activity those\nspecial problems essentially Canadian.\nIn abort, the focal point of the Canadian Library Aasociatlon Is to be Canadian matters. The existence of a\nproperly functioning Oanadian body\nshould not only further what co-operation already exists between libraries\nof the United States. Britain, and\nCanada, but should alao promote a\nclose relationship between libraries of\nthe Dominion\u2014-a ueed, the importance\nof which cannot be overemphasised.\nStudents are Invited\nto Fencing Exhibition\nIn view of the Interest in fencing\nevinced at the Arts Men's Smoker,\nLieutenant Oerard de Merveux, director of the British Columbia Sword\nClub, has extended a cordial invitation to ALL University students to\nattend an exhibition In fencing to be\ngiven at the British Columbia Sword\nClub's gymnasium on Tuesday, February 28.\nThis exhibition will stress the various tricks In fencing, including the\nspectacular \"disarm,\" in which the\nsword Is knocked out of the opponent's hand.\nThe Sword Club gymnasium Is at\n830 Oranvllle St, The exhibition will\ncommence at 8.30 sharp.

At 3 o'clock, In the\nCafeteria, Mr. Millar of the Vancouver\nChess Club, who is one of the city's\nmost brilliant players, will give a simultaneous exhibition of play against\nseven or eight of the best that the\nUniversity haa to offer, and has also\nagreed to defend his reputation\nagainst any obstreperous onlooker who\nmay be Impelled to challenge him.\nAt 8 o'clock, however, a long await*\ned opportunity will be offered to certain of Varsity's Chess stars to avenge\ngrievances that have been carefully\nnuraed for many months agalnat certain members of the faoulty. A matoh\nhas been arranged between tbe stu*\ndents and these members ot the faculty to be played at the Union College\nand should be the scono ot a very keen\nand exciting struggle, tor members ot\nthe Olub have become rather sensitive\nas regards their reputation and have\nfinally decided to \"call the bluff\" ot\ncertain membera of the auatere faculty who have been heard to cast certain supercilious and derogatory remarks against the \"alleged\" ability\nof the Cluba players,\nMr. Rod.

Varsity has never before\nbeen so fortunate in having two\nfoil-backs, ot such equal ability, both\nready to do battle at a moments notice. The season this year has been\nexceptionally long, and the tenacious\nperseverance whioh the ruggers show\nin continuing to turn-out for long\nworkouts Is most praiseworthy. The\nthree-quarter line Is endeavoring to\ncover up many week spots. Poor\npassing can only be rectified by continual practise and the everlasting\nruns which the threes are always doing will produce good results.\nBaton is always ln the pink ot\ncondition and makes it his business\nto put the best of it into every fray.\nBert Tupper is still suffering trom\na sore ankle but latest medical attendance reports a big improvement\nand advices that sufficient progress\ntowards recovery will have been\nmade ln another few days to again\nenable this football fiend to do his\nstuff.\nPhil Barratt has quite recovered\nfrom a sore back, sustained several\nweeks ago, and will vie with Estabrook for the position of flve-elgths.\nGunboat Sparks has improved his\nstability and will try to maintain a\ngood stance in the scrums.\nThe two bruisers, Noble and Wilson, are not getting any thinner, this\nmay be due to hard workouts.

All games\nwill be played oa a neutral floor so\nthat teams, like the Adanacs and\nHuskies, may not have the advantage\nof familiar surroundings,\nVarsity Is conceded a very good\nchance to dean up the series. Their\nspeed, combination and tricky ball\nhandling cannot be surpassed In the\nprovince.\nWally Mayers and Tanny Butler\nare perhaps the two outstanding men.\nThe former is the best forward and\nthe latter tho steadiest guard around\nthis neck ot the woods. Ted Mc*\nEwen and Hugh Grant Improve with\nevery game, Paulson, Henderson and\nRobinson are dependable, brainy\nplayers while McDonald and Straight\nat relief guard can always put up a\ngood show. Jaok Pentland Is keeping the boys down to a strict train*\ning regime with the result that they\nform the fittest squad In the circuit.\nSaturday night's game was scarcely\na workout tor Varsity. Hugh Grant,\nwho Is beginning to regain his last\nyear's style, ran wild, snaring 14\npoints. Hugh notched them from\nany and every angle, some of his\nshots being most sensational. Wally\nMayers played a good game but was\nway oft ln his shooting. Tanny\nButler and Henderson showed up well\ndefensively as tbe score indloates and\nalso managed to seoure the odd point.\nTed MoBwen played a whole of a\ngame. This boy Improves steadily\nbut is slightly inclined to play too\nstrenuously, being sent off eariy on\npersonals, Paulson, Robinson and\nStraight broke Into the game for a\nchange to give the regulars a rost\nand showed all their early season\nstyle.

Another asked, \"If we\noppose the course ln military science,\nwhy not oppose chemistry? I don't like\nit myself.\"\nAnother argument against the motion, was that according to the B.N.A.\nAct the Provincial Government lias\npower to cancel anything detrimental\nto this university which may be \"put\nover\" by the Dominion Government.\nThe speaker challenged his opponents\nto point out any concrete ill effects\nwhich the O.T.C. had produced on\nother universities of Canada.\nKeenleyside questioned the financial\nside of the problem, and asked how\nthe O.T.C. could guarantee even $760\ntowards a gymnasium. In answering,\na C.O.T.C. supporter referred to Mr.\nWhiteley's favourite C.O.T.C. manual.\nA standing vote was taken on the\nmotion opposing the O.T.C. and thu\nresults were 676 for, 231 against.\nIt was decided that copies ot the\nresolution should be sent to the\nSenate to the Faculty, and to the\nBoard of Governors.

Thla was\nfollowed by a neat basket by Mary\nCampbell. At the end of the third\nverse, the soore waa tied 10-10.\nThe last quarter was by far the\nmost exiting. Tho guards, Ruth\nHerbert and Margaret Richards,\nplayed exceptionally well In the last\nstand, and prevented the Whippets\nfrom scoring. With only three minutes to go, and neither squad having\nscored this period.

Sword Club, and Dr. Zlto, an exponent of the Italian aspect of the art.\nOne could almost Imagine oneself in\nthe Palace of Versailles, with the hero pressing the villain with his trusty\nrapier. The demonstration was particularly Interesting owing to the fact\nthat the French and Italian styles\nwere employed.\nAfter this outburst, thoso who had\nknives cut spaces through the fog and\nwere rewarded by seeing two grotesque figures ln pyjamas throw\nthemselves around. These figures\nwere none other than \"Jiu Jltsu\" experts, and gained great applause, especially after every thump from the\nArts' \"he-men.\" Next the audience\nwas startled by the appearance of a\nveritable armory on the floor, but\nwere calmed when it was explained\nthat these were not from the C. O.\nT. C, but two Japanese fencers, who\nwere prepared for the hard cracks\nthat were to come. \"Arts\" won and\ntho gladiators were heartily applauded.\nFollowing this, Mr. Soward mounted the rostrum and gave a delightful\nlecture on \"The Professor as the Student Sees Him\" and \"The Professor\nas He Really Is.\" Needless to say\nthere was quite a difference between\nthe two.\nA very romantic skit was next put\non by the Publications Board, in\nwhich Mr. Irvine Keenleyslde and Mr\nF. St. John Madeley played the pails\nof Romeo and Juliet, respectively (but\nnot respectably). Incidentally the act\nwas done In modern slang, which add\ned a glamour to the situation but\nmust have made Shakespeare revolve\nrapidly in Ills grave.\nMr Angus then treated the audience with some very naughty stories.\nTli\"se were (censored). Dr. Sedgewick followed hlni with an interesting\nsketch on \"Why My Family Made a\nSuccess of Life.\"\nFinally the Attree girls of Arts '30\nfame were put to shame by a Hawaiian Innovation from the Royal\nEgyptian Ballet of the Society of\nThoth.

Since Christmas, the Blue\nand Gold have been represented in the\nIntermediate series by an entirely remodelled crew of extremely Interested\nrahs. The majority of the players\nhad never taken part in the game before, and for that reason, It is very\nmuch to the credit of every man that,\nsuch a remarkably efficient team was\nproduced.\nTwo losses to Richmond and two\nlosses to the Meralomas comprised\nthe net results of Varsity's entry In\nthe Intermediate league. But with\nthese losses the University team has\nprofited by an experience which the\nmen could not have gained had they\nbeen up against weak teams. It is\nsafe to say that had luck been with\nthe Blue and Gold at any time throughout the series, as It certainly was\nwith the Meralomas on Saturday last,\nthen the local team would have chalked up a win which they duly deserved.\nWhen Canadian Rugby calls for a\nturnout next fall, between twenty and\nthirty new converts will feel the urge\nto answer It and several strong teams\nshould be formed. Much credit Is due\nto the coach, Dr. Burke, ably assisted\nby Bill Haggerty, for the style of\nrugby this team exhibited. Max Cameron, president of the Canadian Rugby\nClub, executed his duties, in attending to the business of the team, in a\nmanner which could not be criticized.\nTwelve of the Meralomas' fourteen\npoints, scored agalnBt Varsity's nil\non Saturday resulted directly from\nthe recovery of the local team's fumbles. The other two points came from\ndeadline kicks. Hedreen, Johnson,\nIlerto and Coleman distinguished\nthemselves In their positions, Hedreen and Berto tackled with such a\ndisregard for their persons that the\nMeralomas felt sick. Coleman and\nIlerto niado made yards on lino bucks\nund Johnson, in the backllolil, protect ed by a line which held admirably,\nused his head and his toe In perfect\n)ftV*iiL&
