The debate was\nkeenly contested throughout, and the\nclose discussion manifests the even-\nnesB of the opposing forces.\nMessrs. A. McAlptne, Leonard Miller, and D. W. MacDonald were the\njudges, and Mr. Leslie Brown was\nin the chair.\nWith a pleasing and quiet method of\ndelivery, Orevllle Rowland opened the\ncase for the affirmative. His main\nthesis was that commercial imperialism found expression In the Investment of capital abroad by governments and private persons. This practise, he contested, created friction between rival imperialist nations and\nbetweon the exploiting and exploited\nnations. He cited the economic partitions of Persia, Africa and China as\nproof of this.\nMr. Winston Nainby opened the\ncase for the negative. He put forth\na clear and straightforward argument,\nand spoke; as the previous speaker, in\na quiet and convincing manner. He\ncontended that commercial Imperialism was a factor ln the preservation\nof peace. Thus trade and commerce,\neconomic unions, and the economic\ndependence of nations upon each other\nall fostered International accord. As\nexamples he took the pacification of\nIndia by England and of Africa by\nthe European powers.\nMr. Denis Murphy by a forceful\nand persuasive delivery made an eloquent speech and received an ovation\nwhen be concluded. He reviewed the\nwars of the last eighty years and declared that commercial Imperialism\nwas the origin of armament races,\nmilitary alliances, secret diplomacy,\nand International fear, which were the\nchief causes of these wars. If another\nWorld War breaks out history will\nrecord that Western civilization was\n\"weighed in the balance and found\nwanting.\"\nAfter a witty Introduction Mr. George\nBritnell proceeded to build up a very\nstrong case which the afflmative failed to destroy ln rebuttal. Mr. Britnell\nalso took up the wars that had occurred within the last eighty years and\nstated that nationalism and a desire\nfor territorial expansion wero the\nchief causes for them rather than\neconomic imperialism. Thus the Great\nWar, the Russian-Japanese war, and\nthe Boer War were so caused. Trade\nknows no flag and recognises no\nboundaries, binds nations together.\nCommercial Imperialism pre-supposes\npeace.\nRebuttals were lively and Interesting. Mr. Nainby led off stating that\nhis opponents had confused political\nimperialism and commercial exploitation with commercial Imperialism. Mr.\nRowland said that England dominated\nIndia for an economic purpose and\nIndia would soon become a menace to\npeuce. Mr. Britnell affirmed that the\nU.S. was merely policing Central\nCentral America for the good of those\ncountries and without an ulterior motive. Mr. Denis Murphy made a warm\nrebuttal declaring that nationalism\nwbh fostered hy Imperialism, that\npolltlcol and economic domination\ncreated war.\nIn the away debate against the I'niverslty of Munltoba, David Wuilllnger\nand William Masterson were defeated\nby a unanimous decision,\nNOTICE!\nInternational debaters are asked to\nattend a meeting on Wednesday noon\nIn Arts 100 to discuss the formation\nof a Debating Union. Prof. Angus will\ngive his opinions on the question.\nPhilosophers Hear\nProf. J. Henderson\nProfessor James Henderson, of Ihe\nUniversity of British Columbia, addressed a large gathering of members,\nat a meeting of Ihe Philosophy Club,\nheld at the home of Dr. J. 1). Wymun,\non Thursday last. Tlie subject of Mr\nHenderson's lecture was: \"What Is\nPhilosophy?\"\nThe speaker tlrst estimated briefly\nthe trend of Philosophy. Members of\nthu Club, he suld, should he congratulated for the part they are playing in\nfurthering the new tide of Interest\nbeing shown for Philosophy. The organization, he continued, is but tho\nsign of the times\u00E2\u0080\u0094the practical expression of a re-animated study.\nPhilosophy, once the dominating art\nof the Ancients, became a \"game for\nprofessors.\" In more modern times, a\ngradual revival ot interest gave it an\nincreasing popularity. The ability of\nthe organizers of the Philosophy Club\nto Interpret the present position of\nPhilosophy Is then commendable,\"\nsaid Professor Henderson; \"for the\nmodern trend makes a Philosophy So\nclety, here, a necessity.\"\nContinuing with his subject. Mr.\nHenderson pointed out that tt has always been felt that Philosophy was a\nhigh, ethereal study. Plato, In his\n\"Republic,\" believed that only true\nphilosophers should be made rulers of\nthe people, and In defining Philosophy,\nsaid that it was \"the feeling of wonder.\"\n\"Philosophy,\" Professor Henderson\nsaid/ \"doveloped slowly and 'simply.'\nIts Inception may be traced to that\npoint when men found themselves\ntroubled with such questions as,\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n;What Is reality'?\"\nTHE RELATION OF PHILOSOPHY\nAND 8CIENCE\nThe speaker next turned to a principle division of his subject; namely,\nthat of the relation of Science and\nPhilosophy. \"Philosophy,\" he said,\n\"seeks to examine the WHOLE.\"\nScience, on the other hand, studies.\nnot the WHOLE, but aspects of It.\nIt Is Interested In abstract PARTS.\nThe Science, though they attempt to\ndeal with reijllty, seem only to study\naspects of the question.\nHere the Professor referred to the\nwell-known question of Evolution.\n\"Scientists, he said, \"tell us that there\nwas a time when the Universe began\nand that the present situation of the\nUniverse has co.ue by a process ol\nevolution. Philosophy must accept this\nan an assumption. Hut, as an examiu\nat Ion of the WIIOI.l'I Philosophy tluils\nItself confronted with these questions:\n\"Why should we argue from the\nsimple to the complex'.'\"\n\"Is it not possible the process has\nbeen in the other direction?''\n\"Can there bo a beginning? If so,\nwhat was there before the beginning?\"\nTHE ROLE OF PHILOSOPHY\nLeaving his audience with these\nconsideration^, Mr. Henderson, brought\nhis paper to a close, emphasizing in\nconclusion, that whatever the real\nprinciple of the Universe may be, we\nmust seek an explanation by that\nwhich is hlghost. Philosophy, it hus\nalways been felt, holds this high position; for, unlike all else, it strives to\nperceive the WHOLE.\nSENIOR HOOPSTERS\nLOSE TOJNEWSMEN\nIn one ot the most exciting and hard\nfought games ol Ihe season, Vaisll>A\nhoopsleis lost to the Province by \"!>\n2;i, al the V.

('. Commercials, 26-7 in the Normal gym. on\nSaturday evening,\nThe Varsity fans had every reason\nto be proud of their crew when they\nwatched the splendid team-work and\nneat pivoting of the women.\nFrom the \ery flrst Jump at centre,\nVarsity obtained the ball, and after\na clever pass, the flrst basket was\nnetted. At the end of the first\nquarter the score stood 5-2 in favour\nof the university.\nIn the second quarter, Varsity began a series of whirlwind plays which\nleft the Duffus women breathless,\nand by this means, the score travelled quickly upwards to 19-4 at half-\ntime.\nDuring tho third quarter, the Commercials played on the defensive to\ntry to prevent the Varsity women\nfrom scoring, but Varsity managed\nto break through their guard and as\nthe whistle blew at the end of the\nperiod, the score stood 21-5.\nBoth teams succeeded In netting\nonly one basket In the last quarter,\nwhich resulted in the final score being 2ti-7.\nThe Duffus, or as they were formally known, \"The Young Liberal\nCanucks,\" winners of last year's\nchampionship, have now won ono\ngame and lost one to Varsity.\nSpectators commented on the improvement in the Varsity passing,\nand also on the fact that the team\nhas realized that the Duffus have to\nhe checked from the centre, as the\nlatter depend on their long shots.\nThe success of the team is due\nprimarily to the untiring efforts of\nArnold Henderson, whose Invaluable\ncoaching has resulted ln such efficient\nteam-work.\nVARSITY SCIENTISTS DEFEAT\nSMOKE-EATERS' RUGBY SQUAD\nScience Team Wins by 11-8 Score: Arta Lose to King\nEdward Old Boys 14-0\nARTS GAME\nWeakened by the loss of Dicky\nBright due to injuries received last\nweek and playing two men short, the\n\"Collar Ad\" Brigade went down to\ndefeat by 14-0 before tho King Edward\nOld Boys who were fielding perhaps\ntheir strongest team this season. In\nthe first half King Edward failed to\nregister more than three points.\nArts fought back hard tn the\nsecond half but the game was loose\nand numbers were beginning to tell.\nConsidering even this, the team was\nnot like that which opposed the\nRowing Club the week previous. Both\ngames Indicate lack of condition since\nthe winning scores were rung up in\nthe second periods.\nThe team: Mclnnes, Smith, Richardson, Chapelle, McNeil, Bull, Noble,\nWilson, Phillips, Player, Mason,\nFarrls, Grauer.\nCourse Changed\nby Track Club\nParticulars of the Cross Country\nRace have been decided by Ihe Track\nClub.

Meanwhile the Arts\nteam lost to the Mount Pleasant\n\"Fathers\" 14-0.\nTaking the toss Varsity bid to pick\nnorth and play commenced in mid-\nfield. The bollermakers were holding\nthe much heavier fire-eaters well In\ncheck in the scrum. Several members of the Firemen's pack were\nbarely able to see their feet. However, the old theory that the bigger\nthey are the harder the fall was\ndemonstrated and proved correct\nseveral times during the afternoon's\nperformance.\nFollowing a scrum the three line\nsecured the ball and \"Blondy\"\nOustafson avoided several of the opposition to set the ball down well\nunder the posts. Farrlngton's ponderous shanks turned the trick and\nthe second score stood 6-0 In favor\nof the bowler hat \"gentlemen-'\nThe hosemen kicked off, play returned to centre field and then\nstopped while they carried off the\nfirst \"crock.\" This did not deter the\nhook and ladder boys from going\nacross for their premier which was\nunconverted. In the next play Firemen pressed and looked dangerous\nwhile Science fought on their own\nline.\nTho pack worked like Trojans and\non u line-out Firemen secured the\nball but the attack was thwarted\nwhen P. Barratt brought down the\nopposition ln a fine tackle. Bill Locke\nkicked for touch and play went to\ncentre field. Ou a fumble Firemen\nagain pressed and a life-saver slid\nover 0:1 a new type of angleworm\nglide. The half ended 6-5 with the\nblack sweatered mob leading.\nFilled with the stimulus of hard\ncitrus juice the Scientists showed\nimprovement in the second half by\nstarting off with a bang. However,\nFiremen seemed so determined that\nplay stayed in centre field. The Blue\nand Gold were getting an even break\nin the scrums and nice three quarter\nruns resulted. Estabrook was showing some of his old time speed to go\nthrough the opposition. Gustafson\nwas taking his pass with better\nprecision than for some weeks Fell\nwas getting the ball regularly on the\nwing and although showing plenty of\nspeed he should try and get his head\ndown and run closer to the ground.\nFiremen again smashed through\nbut were stopped when Gordie Logan\ntook a hard tackle about 26 yards\nout. Bill Locke relieved to centre\nfield and play went to the opposition's home area. Following a little\nargument after a line out \"Mug\ncracker\" Sinclair picked the ball up\nfrom the loose and went over for\nthree more points. Farrlngton missed\nthe convert from a bad anglo.\nThe next feature came when\nGustafson picked the leather up from\nthe loose, passed out to Locke who\nmade a nice swerve and yards. Fell\ntook the repass and looked good for\na tug but was held up on the line.\nThe Smoke-eaters relieved and the\ngame went to mid-field. This did not\ndeter the scientific aggregation\nwho came right back In a pretty\nthree run. Receiving the leather\nfrom a scrimmage Estabrook, going\nstraight and hard, passed out to\n\"Blondy\" who averted two heavyweights to pass to \"Shiner\" Tupper.\nBert took the ball over the line like\na bullet. The extra points were not\nadded.\nAgain the black-shirts pressed forward and on a long punt the mixed\nplay looked good for a try until\nLogan brought the opposition down\nIn a fine tackle and the Firemen\npacked another \"crock\" away The\ngame continued lu Firemen's own\ntwo-bit area and ended with the Blue\nand Gold on the verge of another\nattack to the tune of \"Hall the Conquering Hero Comes\" by the \"Hook\nand Ladder\" syncopators.\nThe team: Logan, Locke, Tupper,\nEstabrook, Gustafson, Fell, 1', Harrati,\nFarrlngton, Sinclair, Morris.

Hold\nSURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST\nWe notice in I/ihI Sunday's Province ti letter, presnmnM*,' from\nan irate parent, eoNilcinnintf the University iiiillmrilies for 1 lit*\nnumber of fnilurc-H i\t Christmas. Aiming u number of oilier inn*'\neurncicH the writer makes Hie statement that those who do not\nmake lixty pot* cent, are asked to withdraw, The writer of lliis\nlottor has been misinformed. The standard has this year been\nlowered to some extent, candidates being- now required tn make\nonly 40 per cent, instead of the usual 44.\nAnother piece of misinformation which the letter contains is\nthat studentH aro asked to withdraw because of overcrowding. While\nit is true* that wo are rapidly becoming overcrowded here, it is not\ntrue that any students are asked to withdraw for that reason. The\nonly cause for withdrawal is failure to attain the standard demanded\nby the University.\nThat those standards are not too high is provided by the number who can and do succeed. To lower them would be to lower\nthe efficiency of the University. It would, moreover, be an, injustice\nto the tax-payer who supports the University to burden it with\npeople who are unable to keep up to tho now-prevailing standard.\nWe quote the following statement by Morton Snyder. \"The\nselection of those who shall be admitted to tho privilege of a fine\neducation at much less than cost is fundamentally a study in social\njustice. It involves the rights of faculty members who are investing their own lives in the next generation, the rights of generous\nphilanthropists and hard-working tax-payers, the rights of those\nwho will finish as well as those who will withdraw.\"\nLit. Head Gives Debates Plan\nWith the proposed passim; ol the Literary and Scientific Deptartment, and\nthe recent Saskatchewan debate, the\ntime is ripe to Investigate thoroughly\nthe question of debating at the University of British Columbia.\nAt present, the feeling is that do\nbating haa fallen on evil times, and\nthat complete reorganization Is necessary. Obviously, however, no blame\ncan be attached to any one person,\nas those In authority have been working against tremendous inertia.\nIt Is unnecessary to repeat at length\nthe varied criticisms leveled against\nthe system of debates now in existence. At present there Is a distinct\nhiatus between the Debates Council\nand the Literary and Debating Society. The former is a part of the L\nS. D. and is practically a non-existani\nbody. The actual work is done by the\nDebates Manager, who conducts tin\ncorrespondence between the U. II. C.\nand other colleges. Tryouts are held\nat the beginning of each college year,\nat which about ten star debaters are\nchosen for Ihe inter-colleglate contests. The other debaters are left\nstrictly alone for the rest of the year,\nwithout any couching, criticism or en\ncouragenient.\nThe Literary Society, on the oilier\nhand, affords an opportunity for any\nstudent In the I'niversily lo take part\nin debating. It. trains its members in\npublic speaking by means of the Students' Parliament, and in addition conducts the lnter-class Debates, the Victoria and High Schools Debates, and\nthe annual oratorical contest. It has\nscarcely any say, however, in intercollegiate debating.\nIn reorganizing debating In this University, although a Utopian objective\nmust be kept in mind, the questions\nof student apathy and the finance situation must be considered These two\nproblems may prevent any rapid and\ncomplete change of Ihe debating organization for some time.\nln putting forward the following\nproposals, I must acknowledge my Indebtedness to Mr. Orevllle Rowland,\nthe Debates Manager, and lo Mr. Wll\nHam Taylor, I'or many details of the\nscheme.\nThe flrst detail to be attended to Is\nthe coordination of the various student organisations inleresled in pub\nlie speaking. This has been the weak\npoint of past schemes,\nFirst, there should be a body known\nns the Debutes Advisory Mould, which\nwould consist of members of the fac\nulty, Alumni, and citizens interested In\ndebating. This body would supply\nJudges and critics, and help Hie sin\ndent body In all forms of debating.\nIn addition there should be one or\nmore debates COill'lies, either volun\ntary or paid, Ihat will listen to nil eon\nteHinnis nnd tell each one, Indlvldii\nally, exactly what his or her particular faults un-. This Is nol done at\npresent A lew \"tlpH\" and \"corree-\nJ Inns\" will launch many speaker* on a.\nforensic career who, under the pres\nout\nent system are \"squashed\" at thi\nset.\nThe actual fountain-head of authority for the Forensic Department\nshould be the Students' Council. Debating should eventually have a representative on the Council, In exactly the same way as Athletics Is represented now. For the present, however, debates should be discussed by\nCouncil, with the President of the\n(proposed) Forensic Department attending in a non-voting capacity.\nThe governing body of debating ac-\nilvlty should be a Debates or Forensic\nCouncil, consisting in representatives\nof all campus organizations Interested\nin public speaking and debating. This\nCouncil should consist of the President (a man) and the Vice-President\n(a woman) of the Literary and Debuting Society, the President of the\nAgriculture Discussion Club, representatives of Science and Theological debating societies, and the Premier ami\nSpeaker of an (independent) Students'\nParliament. In addition there snoiihl\nbe a President of th,. Debates Council elected by the Students' Hody\nThe actual business of tlie debates\nshould be done by a Debates Secretary (I'or the correspondence ), a Tiva\nsurer (lui the finances). a Publicity\n.Manager (for publicity), and assistants These ollleers should be ap\npointed by the Debates Council and\nresponsible to it.\nAll societies would be Independent,\nor rather interdependent, and carry\non their functions In a manner resembling that at present Ui force. Debate try-outs, however, should be more\nfrequent, and the contestants classified into (a) Intercollegiate Special;\n(b) Intercollegiate Oeneral; (c) Kx\ntra Mural (Vancouver Debating\nLeague, etc.); (ill lnter-class; and (e)\nBeginners. Awards should follow the\nlines of athletic \"letters,\" with an enamel pin* for \"A\" class debaters, gold\nfor \"B\" class, sliver for \"C\" class and\nbronze for \"D\" class. The grading of\ndebates would follow the above system.\nAll debates should be thoronghlv\ndiscussed and criticized by competent\nauthorities.

C, men nnd\nwomen ho much pleasure us tiring\nballs at prairie defenders to keep the\ntrophy they won two years ago.\nNevertheless the spring may bring\nsweet revenge when British Columbia\nstacks up against Washington and a\nfew other schools across the line und\ndemonstrates that they can reverse\nthe decisions handed them last year.\nHeaded by tho national star, Gordon\nShields, and assisted by such talent\nas Wally Mayers, Hugh Grant, nnd\na hoot ot others lt will take the best\nthat the northwest can produce to\nwin out. The old story laBt year\nwhen Varsity went down to defeat\nrested around the fact that Shields,\nMayers and Seed were not In good\ncondition and they are going to see\nthat the story Is not repeated this\nspring. With practice and plenty of\nit to give the men the proper tuning\nup it should be a good season.\nWashington has a decided dearth\not first class men this year as Mel\nDranga le out of school, Windy\nLanglle will be missing, Howard\nLanglle Is also out and the Frosh\nUlent last year was not at all sensational. However, Coach Jimmy Arbuth-\nnot can be depended on to whip a\nsmart team Into shape and by getting\nthe drop the others will start the\nseason out right by collecting a B. C.\nscalp.\nShields at tbe top ot his form can\nbeat the best of them In the Pacific Northwest Intercolleglates, but\nlast spring Mel Dranga, captain of\nthe Husky squad, handed him a\nstraight set lacing in the first meet\nand then came back ln a three set\nvictory in Seattle a week later. Later\nln the summer Dranga would have\nbeen a good player to have taken a\nset. That shows just what practice\nwill do. Shields ranked second in\nthe ratings at the end of the season\nwhile Dranga took sixth place. In\nthe doubles, the team of Shields and\nRyall took flrst place and won the\nright to represent the north coast\nsection at the National finals at Forest\nHills, and in the flrst round met\nHennessey and Williams one of the\nBig Three doubles teams ln America.\nA 4 set victory for the Indianapolis\npair speaks highly for the class of\ntennis put up by the greener western\nteam. Shields tells ot the match not\nas an alibi for their showing but as\nproof that the brand of tennis in the\nwest Is not as far behind the east\nas many suppose.\n\"We took the courts,\" says Shields,\n\"after one of the most torrental\nrains the east had experienced for\nmany months. Needless to say the\nsoft grass made the footing almost\nImpossible and any thought of a fast\ncross court game was out of the\nquestion, We were seriously handicapped from the start by the fact\nthat we had not brought spikes along\nand the footing without them was\nhopeless. Time and again both Ilyall\nand myself slipped heavily to the\nground when attempting a return.\nUnder those conditions to take u set\nfrom two stars of alternate Davis\nCup selection was not a bad achievement.\"\nRICHMOND RUNS\nRUGGERS RAGGED\nVarsity's game crew of young\nenthusiasts who bumped up against\nRichmond in the Intermediate Canadian Rugby League last Saturday\nwere taken In tow to a count of 12\nto 3. With a quarter-back ln the\nperson of Tommy Berto, playing tho\ngame for the flrst time, and with\nmany others on the team without\nprevious experience, the Jfllue and\nGold did all that could ho expected\nof them. Richmond was In better\nform than had heen anticipated and\nemerged victorious.\nEarly in the tussle, Varsity gained\na point on a dead-line kick and fulled\nto score again until the last quarter\nwhen two points were added by a\nsafety touch. Kennedy and Rolstoti\neach scored a cnuntor fur Richmond\nand a safety touch gave their side\nanother two points,\nBerto used good Judgment and\ntackled with a grim determination\nwhich will make him a star player.\nColeman was bust on Ihe bucks\nKvery tlmo ho carried tho ball lie\nfound a weak spot In Richmond's\ndefense and seemed to be the only\nman who could make any headway\nIn line bucks. Johnston played a fair\ngame as kicker.\nFOOTBALLERS FALL\nBEFORE LEGION\nOn Saturday, Varsity's tlrst soccer\nteam was eliminated from the Province Cup by Canadian Legion by a\nscore of 2\u00E2\u0080\u00941.\nThe feature of the game was the\ngreal display by Cy Manning, the captain, ut centre-half, ills play on offensive and del'et.slve was of an excellent quality.\nAt the beginning of the game the\nplayers had great dllllculty ln Judging\nIhe ball. For the flrst twenty minutes\nnildlleld play was the order, with\nneither team having Hie advantage.\nCanadian Legion began to tighten up\nami opened Ihe scoring aflei twenty\nminutes' play. Varsily tried hard lo\nequalize, and Mel Gaudin, lanky centre, made several brilliant ui tempts.\nAl Todd and Guy Waddington combined ulcely on the left wing, but Wad\ndinglon's shot missed the murk.\nDuring Ihe tlrst hull' Ihe Canadian\nLegion had been using their exlra\nweight lo lull advantage and time and\nagain ihey played the man nil her than\nIhe ball. The Varsily halt-backs had\nbeen working well getting rid of the\nball quickly and feeding their men\nwell.\nNothing exciting took place early In\nthe llrst stanza, and It was not until\nabout twenty minutes hud elapsed that\nCanadian Legion scored u second\ngoul on u misunderstanding between\nAnderson and Wright. Vurslty worked hard, but worked in vain for about\nfive minutes. Stan Duffell then wrenched his knee and became practically a\npassenger thereafter, Varsity fought\nback and within two minutes Doug.\nPartridge scored Varsity's goal. Try\nas they would, Varsity could not equalize. Two or three times Al Todd and\nMel Gaudin came desperately close,\nbut alas! they could not penetrate far\nenough. The final whistle left the\nBcore at 2\u00E2\u0080\u00941 for Canadian Legion.\nLazy Leatherists Are\nLashed I\nIntermediate und Freshman Rugby\nplayers are not showing the proper\nspirit by repeatedly failing to turn up\nat the weekly workouts on the oval,\nOften only four or five players\nfrom each team are turning out, the\nrest using any excuse to avoid going\ndown to the field.\nPlayers who fall to turn out should\nremember that their failure to oo so\nmeans the disruption of the entire\nteam, causing ill feeling, discouragement, and disappointment to the fal'h\nful members who do turn out.\nAll pluyers are asked to show up tomorrow at 3 o'clock, when the two\nIntermediate teams will be put through\na stiff workout by the conch, Dob\nGranger.\nSkin Kickers Receive\nKnock-out\nOn Saturday last, Varsity Juniors\nlost !>-l to Ex-Queen Mary at Dunbar\nPark. Ex-Queen Mary scored after five\nminutes, but Varsity soon i quallzed.\nEx-Queen Mary again took the lead\nbefore half time. In the second half\nKx-Queen Mary outplayed Varsity and\nput on three more counters. Varsity\nmade it game fltrh\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 but were beaten\nby a better team.\nFar Varsily. Mitchell played a clever\ngame and scored the only goal. Mc-\nKellar played his best game this year,\nwhile England and Wright were always dangerous. Stafford and Fern-\nlund performed well at back and\nSanderson Justified his Inclusion in\nlho team.\nBatters Down Varsity\nStick Artists\nLack of combination In the forward\nline was largely responsible for the\nI - o defeat administered lo the Men's\nGrass Hockey team by Ihe Cricketer-\nat Connauglit Park on Saturday afternoon.\nIndividually Hie players put up ;\ngood showing, but as a team working\ntogether, Varsity was decidedly weak.\nCricketers won the toss and in it\"\nllrst half scored three goals. Several\nI lines the Varsity forwards bad a\nchance io score, but the opposing de\nfence was loo si rung lor Individual\nplay, so the students lulled to reg\nIslef\nIn Ihe .second half the Varsily tie-\nlence tightened, IcMillK filllv one goal\nthrough. The whole lentil was si oik\ning hard Mheirer and Dhaml were\nsen effective us halves, ami IPeh\nlliolld Was gotitl ell the defence '|'||,.\nloissards, howeser, were nol combining and ccnseqilenlly lulled lo reg\nIsler.\nIntermediate Rugby\nVanquish Meralomas\nOn Saturday tho Intermediates defeated the Meralomas hy 6 to 3, Tho\ngame was a fast one, both teams being\nfairly well matched. Vin'slty had the\nedge on the play however.\nPlay was fust In the first half,\nespecially, No score wus made for\nsome time. Then by a forward rush\nInto the enemy's twenty-live, and u\npretty three-quarter run over tho line,\nWilson planted the spheroid for a\nthree-point try, Leek lulled to convert from a difficult angle. Later on ln\nthe proceedings Wilson again rushed\nthrough the Meralomas for another\nthree. The kick fulled.\nWhen the quarrel was resumed In\nthe aecond period no score was recorded until ubout live minutes from the\nend. With the centre-scrum man,\nLeek, retired trom the fluid wtth mud\nin his eye Meralomas scored three\npoints. Then the whistle blew,\nThe Intermediates have been\nstrengthened by some Canadian Hug-\nby players und have a good chance to\nwin tlie league,\nSenior \"A\" Basketers\n(Continued trom Page I)\nscores, while the Province wus forced\nlo depend chletly on long shots thai\nseldom found the mark. Just before\nhall-lime Province scored three quick\nbaskets to ma!;u the count 15\u00E2\u0080\u009411 for\nVurslty at the Interval.\nBoth teams came on alter the rest\ndetermined to giv a safe lead at the\nstart. Province counted flrst on a\nbeautiful Bhot by McMaster from the\ncenter of the floor, Henderson re-\n'\"\"t..i with I wo quick baskets In sue\ncession, arid from then on the game\nwns u battle. McMaster sank two\nmore shots from the center of the\nfloor, and MacDonald made a pretty\nbasket over his head i'or Varsity.\nThe game gave several indications\nof being very hard fought, such, as\nAve men being laid on the floor at\none time.\nVarsity was leading, 2.1\u00E2\u0080\u009419. rienry\nthen scored for Province to tie the\ncount, and for a while It was anybody's game.\nProvince was awarded two free\nshots and missed them both, while\nthe crowd held Its breath. Butler put\nthe Blue and Gold ahead again with\nabout five minutes to go. Varsity's\nload was short-lived, however, as the\nnewsies staged a closing rally that\ncould not be stemmed, running in four\nbaskets without a reply, to stack up a\nwin of 29\u00E2\u0080\u009423.\nVarsity \u00E2\u0080\u0094 Mayers 2, Henderson 6.\nMacDonald I, Butler 11, Paulson, Robinson, Grant and McEwen.\nICE HOCKEY\nOwing to confusion as regards the\nteams, the Intermediate tussle billed\nfor Friday night did not come off. Two\nmembers of the Junior squad have departed and a third will be unable to\nplay on account, of sickness. If a full\nteam can be recruited, however, the\nJuniors will sllll play Ex-KIng George\nMonday night, following the Senior\nlilt. The Intermediate playoffs are\nstill uncertain.\nWANTED\u00E2\u0080\u0094Freshman who Is free\non Tuesday afternoons, for work on\nBusiness staff of \"UBYSSEY.\" See\nRalph James In the Pub.
