C, DECEMBER 4, 1919 Number 9\nAuditorium Crowded on Presentation\nof Christmas Plays by 'Varsity Talent\nNEW MEMBERS OF PLAYERS'\nCLUB SHOW ABILITY TO\nCARRY ON WORK OF FORMER\nYEARS\nThursday, Nov. 27th, saw the opening\nperformance of the best presentation of\nChristmas playlets yst staged by the\nU. B. C. Players' Club. \"First-nighters\"\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094ready, perhaps, to extend a sympathetic interest to those making their\n\"first appearance on any stage,\" or to\noverlook any contretemps in the matter\nof scene-shifting\u00E2\u0080\u0094breathed a sigh of relief before the first play had proceeded\nfar, and settled down to enjoyment un-\nmarred by any amateurish mistakes on\nthe part of the actors.\nIn the selection of plays, or rather\nplaylets, this season, the Players' Club\nhas adopted an ambitious policy. A\nspice of novelty was introduced by the\npresentation of a fourteenth century\nmiracle play, \"The Sacrifice of Isaac,\"\nand a mediaeval French farce, \"Master\nPierre Patelin,\" as well as the more\nusual selection of two modern plays by\nMasefield and Pinero.\nA noticeably tense feeling held the audience during the entire performance of\nthe miracle play, which reproduced a\nsection of mediaeval life\u00E2\u0080\u0094the acting of\nScriptural scenes by the choir boys of\nthe fifteenth century. Mr. C. T. Robson,\nas Abraham, and Miss Evelyn Eveleigh,\nas his son Isaac, played the principal\nparts in this, while Mr. Manuel sustained\nthe role of the Angel admirably. The\neffect of the chanting of the choir boys\nwith their swinging censers, and the well\ndelivered exposition of Mr. Coates, was\nimpressive and bore out the solemnity\nof the scene.\n\"Master Pierre Patelin\" proved a\nspirited farce, which enraptured +':e audience from start to finish. Mr. M. J.\n1 Saunders, in the title role, played the\npart of the sousless man of the learned\nprofession to perfection, while Mr.\nKirby's artistic imitation of a sheep took\nthe audience by storm. Miss Helen\nClark, of Arts '23, took the part of the\nmuch-tried wife of the needy lawyer,\nand Mr. J. C. Berto and Mr. A. Webster\nfilled the roles of Mons. Joceaulime and\nthe Judge respectively.\nOf an entirely different nature was the\nnext play. \"The Locked Chest\" proved\nof most compelling interest, and, with\nits swift movement to a highly dramatic\n(Continued on Page 6)\n'VARSITY WILL\nPLAY FIREMEN\nThe U.

The subject was,\n\"Resolved that Canada's railroads be\nnationalized.\" Messrs. R. Hodson and\nD. A. Wallace, Science, supported the\naffirmative, while the negative was upheld by Messrs. C. Traves and C. P.\nLeckie, of Agriculture. President Klinck,\nDr. Davidson and Prof. Boving acted as\njudges.\n\"Because of her geographical position,\" declared Mr. Hodson, leader of\nthe affirmative, \"the railway is practically Canada's only means of transport. Therefore, it should be run for\nthe convenience of the nations \u00E2\u0080\u0094- in\nother words, for the people by the people.\" Furthermore, if the various lines\nwere consolidated, much needed expense\nwould be eliminated for stations, offices,\netc.\nMr. Traves, leader of the negative,\ntraced the development of some of\nCanada's railways. He quoted figures\nto prove conclusively that the Government methods of construction were\nmost extravagant. In a vigorous, convincing speech, he fully showed the inefficiency of the present government-\nowned railways throughout the world.\nThe supporter of the affirmative, Mr.\nWallace, continuing his colleague's arguments, pointed out that fully two per\ncent, of the profits of private companies\nwere spent in rectifying mistakes and in\nlegal controversies. He quoted the\npostoffice as an example of Government\n(Continued on Page 3)\nProf. Kickers Are\nBeaten By Students\nUNDERGRADUATES WIN SOCCER\nCLASSIC BY SCORING ONLY\nGOAL OF GAME\nThe Time\u00E2\u0080\u0094Wednesday, November 26th,\n1919; 3.15 p.m.\nThe Place\u00E2\u0080\u0094K.E.H.S.

Urged on by the rapturous applause of the side-lines, the Profs, made\nseveral dramatic attempts to pierce the\nUndergrad. defense, but Wolverton and\nBaker were always in the way. The\nOvergrads. were undoubtedly the favorite team, and the defense work of Dr.\nHutchinson and Dr. Davidson was immensely popular. \"John,\" however, was\nthe most popular figure on the ice, and\nthe applause reached a climax when he\nsucceeded in bringing his foot into violent contact with Swencisky's facade.\nThe scoring, which was the least \"interesting feature of the game, was accomplished near the end of the first half,\nwhen Joe Denham slipped the ball past\nDr. Davidson from a scrimmage in\nfront. The contortions of the players,\nas they attempted to retain their balance\non the slippery field, added greatly to\nthe enjoyment of the spectators. When\nFoley failed to get the right angle of\nelevation on the ball from the penalty\nline in the second half, the Profs.' one\nand only chance to score went soaring\nover the goal-posts. For the rest of the\ngame Keenleyside was left in shivering\nisolation.\nThe best feature of the game was the\nfact that the Profs, proved themselves\nsuch good sports as to turn out at all.\nSuch games increase the respect as well\nas the liking of the students for their instructors, and after the game on Wednesday the Professors were hailed as\nthe best of sports by everyone who attended the game. Which leads to the\nremark that it would be no bad idea to\nmake this game an annual affair.

C.\nARTS '22 WOMEN\nUPHOLD REPUTATION\nThe postponed meeting of the\nWomen's Lit. was held on Friday, Nov.\n28th, when the Freshettes and Sophomores met in their annual debate to\ndecide the question: \"Resolved that\ndebating as a forma.1 exercise is beneficial to the mental interests of debaters\nand audience.\"\nThe subject was upheld on the affirmative by Misses L. Cowdell and Reid for\nArts '22, and on the negative by Misses\nM. Portsmouth and K. Allardyce for\nArts '23.\nMiss Cowdell dealt with the value of\ndebating to the individual, maintaining\nthat it strengthens power of independent thinking, trains the debater in\nsifting important from trivial, and demands an accurate knowledge of sound\nfacts.\nMiss Portsmouth argued that formal\ndebating fosters love of argument for\nargument's sake, rather than an intelligent knowledge based on fact; that\nthere is a tendency to look at the question from one viewpoint, whereas truth\nof matter must be looked at fairly and\nsquarely from all angles.\nMiss Reid pointed out that, by previous preparation, a debater is enabled\nto present to his audience a broader\nview of subjects, and that he presents\nfor debaters in embryo a model in manner and style of delivery.\nMiss Allardyce, with illustrations, held\nthat the emotional element conquers\ncold logic and most often decides our\nopin;ons.\nThe rebuttal was brisk, clear, and decisive. Professor Angus acted as judge,\nand, after an instructive criticism on the\nmer'ts and demerits of the individual\nsneakers, gave his decision in favor of\nthe affirmative.\nE^PLOY^ENT BUREAU\nFOR U.
