These birds, one of which\nis a daughter of Hen No. 6, have\nestablished a phenomenal lead considering the short time which the\ncontest has been running. They\nhave laid a total of 370 eggs giving\nthem 376 points whereas their nearest competitor has only 319 points,\nit is interesting to note in this connection that Hen No. 6 is still actively engaged in producing eggs,\nhaving laid a total of 1197 during\nher long life.\n_\u00E2\u0080\u009E\u00E2\u0080\u009E ,\u00E2\u0080\u009E \u00E2\u0080\u009E \u00E2\u0080\u009E\u00E2\u0080\u009E ,\u00E2\u0080\u009E ,. -. m, ,,\u00C2\u00BB mm\u00E2\u0080\u0094.4.\nACADEMIC CONSULS\nWELCOME STUDENTS\nFROM OTHER LANDS\nMr. Stanley Mathews who has\nbeen acting as Academic Consul to\nScottish students and graduates in\nVancouver for some years is to\ncontinue this work which has so\nmuch assisted friendly international\nfeeling between Universities.

Barrie is the play chosen\nby the Advisory Board of the Players' Club for their Spring production sometime in March. Owing to\nthe resignation of Prof. F. G. C.\nWood, the play will be directed by\nSidney Risk, former member of the\nclub and director of more than one\nChristmas Play. He was also author of the prize-winning one-act\nplay \"Fog,\" In 1930.\n\"Alice Sit-by-the-Flre\" was first\nproduced in London in 1906, with\nEllen Terry, for whom the play was\nwritten, ln the leading role. Ethel\nBarrymore starred In the same play\nshortly afterward ln ftew York.\nThe play is a highly amusing and\ninteresting story of a mother's return from India with her husband,\nthe Colonel, to see her children who\nhave been under the care of a nurse\nfor many years. She finds it bard\nto realize that her babies have\ngrown up, and that she herself isn't\nas young as she used to be.\nProfessor Wood recalls that in 1918\nthis same play was produced by the\nclub, twice in Vancouver, and twice\nin Victoria. \"This of course was long\nbefore the time of, Spring Play\ntours; for in those days the Players'\nClub was aiding the crippled War\nVeterans instead of paying the debts\nof the Alma Mater Society,\" said\nProfessor Wood as he reminisced.\nProfessor Wood is also able to remember the names of his original\ncast, which include Viva Martin in\nthe lead, and Jessie Adams, Irene\nCowan (now Mrs. Ernest Rogers)\nand Mrs. Hunter Lewis, Bina Taylor\n(Mrs. Wilfred Stoess) and Connie\nHighmore who is now Mrs. Cecil\nAdams of Portland.\nThe men of the cast were Jim Al-\nlard and Fred Law, both of whom\nhave met accidental death.\nCouncillors Decide\nNot To Abandon\n1931-1932 Annual\nContracts Awarded and Work to Get Under\nWay Immediately, State* Rosemary\nWinslow.\nThe Totem, whose fate was undecided until the end of last\nterm, with a consequent delay in the work involved in its production, will be published about the end of March.

However,\nthe delay in work on the annual has made its\nproduction before the end of April a doubtful matter, with the result that a hard-working\nstaff are more than ever in need of intelligent\ncooperation from the students concerned in\ncontributing.\nAll members of the graduating class as well\nas those on class or club executives are ex-\npected to have their photographs taken at the\nArtona Studio, to which the contract has been\ngiven. They are urged to make appointments\nImmediately, in order that the serious task of\narranging and compiling the annual may be\ncommenced without further delay,\nIf those students who enjoy the Totem and\nyet make no effort to comply with this request\ncould know the amount of time and labour\nthat goes into its production, there would be\nno further need of these scholarly exhortations.\nRead the article on the Totem printed in today's \"Ubyssey,\" for the necessary information, and let the staff have the satisfaction of\nknowing that their efforts on the students' behalf are, if not appreciated, at least not ignored.\n^ THE SHORT COURSE STUDENTS\nWith the opening of the spring term the\nenrolment at the University includes a consid-\n- erable number of men and women who are\ntaking the short courses in agriculture. These\nnecj^e are of course not members of the Alma\n'^ Miter Society; their stay at the University is\nof too short duration to permit of them taking\na prominent part in campus activities; their\ninterests and ages differ as a rule from those\nof the regular degree student. None of these\nfacts, however, provide reason why the short\ncourse students should not be accepted as\nmembers of the student body, which for the\ntime being they undoubtedly ,are. While it\nwould be impractical for the Alma Mater Society to make any organized effort of welcome,,\nthere are often opportunities for personal contact between regular, and short course students\nwhich should not be neglected.\nThe criticism has been advanced that a university is not the place for technical courses\nwhich do not lead to a degree and which are\nof brief duration. However this may be, there\ncan be no doubt that the short courses in agriculture not only make an economical supplementary use of available teaching and demonstration facilities but also fill a very real need\nfor people who are after all a highly desirable\ntype of student\u00E2\u0080\u0094those who are anxious to obtain knowledge which will help them with their\neveryday problems.\nAn institution as dependent on public funds\nas is U.B.C. can ill afford to neglect any opportunity to make a favorable impression on public opinion. A spirit of helpfulness and cooperation towards the short course students\nshould go far to convince these men and\nwomen that the University exists for some\nother reason than to confer on the children\nof the rich, degrees, which carry a certain\namount of social prestige.\ni\nWith their wealth of experience many profs\nshould now be able to obtain jobs as bouncers.\n* * *\nAfter adjusting holiday bills, the head of the\nhouse may feel like going on the nickel\nstandard.\nSome students are finding that examination\nresults are a poor tonic on which to recover\nfrom New Year celebrations.\nPeople are asking whether the low average\nof \"passes\" evidenced by the recent examination results can be attributed to the depression.\n* * *\nThe basketball squad appears to be getting\nmore practise at dropping games than baskets.\n* * *\nIt is hoped that the student who arrived\nwith a pack on his back to attend the short\ncourses in agriculture does not consider the\nUniversity \"the bunk.\"\n\u00E2\u0099\u00A6 * *\nOn his arrival in Bombay, Mahatma Gandhi\ndeclared that he \"would not flinch from sacrificing the lives of a million people as the price\nof India's liberty.\" During the Civil War,\nArtemas Ward, famous American humorist,\nannounced his willingness to sacrifice all his\nwife's relations to save the country.\nLast term some criticism of this column,\nfavorable and otherwise, was heard from various quarters. The column, let it be said, represents my own views, and not nec-\nOff essarily those of the editors or of stu-\nAgain dents in general. It does not attempt\nto please all the students all the time.\nSome have the childish attitude that The Ubyssey, including 'Pipe and Pen,' should comment\nonly on campus matters. With this I disagree,\nas I think most students do. Whether this column is pretty feeble, as some tell me, or the\nbest feature in the paper, as others say, I do\nnot know; but believing that the majority of\nreaders are satisfied, I ramble on, and try to\nmake it of general interest. Wishing all a\nHappy New Year, yours sincerely.\n* * *\nAmong the books I read during the holidays\nwas \"I Lived This Story,\" by Betty White.\n(Doubleday, Doran; 1930). I understand it circulated in sorority circles here last\nInside year, arousing considerable indigna-\nDope tion. And well it might, for it is a\nvery frank story of a girl's career at a\nmid-western American university, telling how\nshe at first believed in sororities and later, as\na result of experience and maturity, came to\ndespise them. Her attitude, although she was\na member of one of these organisations, is\nsummed up in the words of one of the characters: \"I prefer to lead my own life, developing my own personality, without the guiding\nhand of forty or fifty morons with a reforming\ncomplex.\" There are many choice passages\nabout the university in general, and fraternities and sororities in particular. \"Why, he isn't\neven a fraternity man!\" seems to have been\nthe most withering charge possible against an\nunfortunate youth.\nIt is said that Miss White was ejected from'\nher sorority for writing the book. Betcha that\nmade her sorry!\n* * \u00E2\u0096\u00A0#\nI also read \"Twenty Years Among the\nTwenty Year Olds,\" by James Anderson\nHawes. (E, P. Dutton, 1929). Mr. Hawes is a\nnational officer of a fraternity.\nA Naive The book does not deal primarily\nChampion with fraternities, but does so secondarily, and the author is very\nmuch on the defensive about them. He declares\nthat: \"There are proper objections to the fraternity system and to the too great loyalty of\nstudents and alumni to these fraternities and\nclubs. However, the fact remains that they\nfill a great need, and no opposition to them can\never succeed until a better scheme or plan for\nthe social life and housing of the students is\nevolved.\" Here, as elsewhere, he stresses the\ntwo strong points in favor of these organizations, and implicitly admits that there may be\na better solution.\nThe author admits, too, that fraternities are\nstrong conservative influences. For example:\n\"Whenever a wave of Socialism or class feeling of any kind sweeps the country, a small\neddy of the wave always strikes the fraternities in State universities.\"\nThat fraternities stand relatively low in\nscholarship is the one charge that can be to\na certain extent proved, he says. Political and\nathletic interference brings its own punishment, he adds vaguely. A fraternity tries to\nget prominent men in order to add to Its prestige, he declares simply, and goes on with naive\nzeal: \"Cases are innumerable of younger men\nsecuring business positions and owing their\nentire success in life to employment or assistance given by the alumni to them as members\nof their fraternities.\" Many, he continues, are\ninfluenced to join one or another organization\nbecause of greater business opportunities offered by the one body of alumni over another.\nIn other words, they choose as friends those\nwhom they can use to the best advantage.\nUnwittingly, Mr. Hawes denounces the fraternity system in these enthusiastic words:\n\"The less we depend upon artificial restrictions\nand the more we depend upon the wholesome,\nfriendly, gregarious instincts of the average\nAmerican youth, the better.\" (Applause).\nA South American general was shot the\nother day for \"conduct unbecoming an officer.\"\nA similar fate is due General Depression.\n# * *\nOther financially-worried countries should\nstudy the \"Swiss movement.\" The thrifty little\ninland republic is said to be in a better financial condition than any nation in Europe.\n* # *\nThe Irish Free State sweepstakes have\ndeveloped into a major \"industry.\" Sixteen\nmonths ago, when they were first authorized,\nthe \"Hospital Trust Co.

The writers failed to note\nthat the letter rate is now 3 cents instead of 2.\nReceivers are \"fined\" double for the oversight.\nShort Courses\nln Agriculture\nWell Attended\nPresent figures indicate that the\nenrolment for the short courses In\nagriculture which have been a regular feature of the spring term at\nthe University for the past ten\nyears, will exceed all previous records this year.\nWhile the majority of the registrations for these courses come from\npeople with practical experience in\nagriculture who are desirous of obtaining further scientific information,\nthere are this year a number of\nstudents who are taking the work\nfor other reasons. Several men with\ncapital who wish to know the status and conditions of B. C. agriculture have signed up tor one or more\nof the courses offered. Many younger students too have registered this\nyear, some with the Intention of\nfinding out what possibilities agriculture has to offer them.\nThe students themselves who arc\nat the University for the special instruction in agriculture present a\nwide variety of types. One man arrived with his pack on his back and\nwanted to. know where there was a\nplace to \"bunk.' More than one\nstudent was brought out by his parents, indicating a younger age than\nhas been the rule in previous years.\nYet another student is an ex-member of the British Civil Service. All\nhowever are bound together by a\ncommon desire to improve their\nknowledge of one of Canada's basic\nindustries.\nFour courses are being offered this\nyear. These include work in poultry husbandry, soils, horticulture\nand animal diseases. Lectures and\ndemonstrations will continue from\nnow until February 1.\nNews & Views\nOf Other U's\nINFLUENCE OF THE SCIENCEMEN\nDr. Roy N.

She'll make you look like another person,\"\nIt seems to bo tha custom for U.B.C.\ngraduates to write stories on their\nwanderings In strange lands for tha\nedification of the younger generation\nIn the wild and wooUy west. (I know\nIt is wild and woolly because tha\npeople haw taU me so.) At any rate,\nI do not want to be an exception and\nwill try to describe a little of tht\nMichigan atmosphere.\nMoat of these stories begin by\npointing out the difference between\nU.BC. and the naw loafing grounds\nso I wUl begin by saying that tha\nchief difference between Michigan\nand U.B.C. Ilea In their respective\nages. Michigan was founded In 1187,\nand has been one of tha loading unl-\nversities In the U.S.A. over since. The\nunwary visitor stroUIng across tha\ncampus at night falls over rocks, pillars or flagpoles inscribed, \"Class of\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A076,\" or \"Men of *M.\" Nowadays gra-\ndilates arc much mora generous. After\nmaking tho first mUllon they come\nback and donate a couple of gymnasiums or a stadium, despising a mate\nrock ot flagpole. Anyhow, It is a\nvery, very old university.\nThe campus Itself Is largo, extending over a square mUe of buildings.\nThus some students have to be in\ngood training to get from one building to another In seven minutes,\nwhich Is the time allowed between\nlectures. Classes commence on the\nhour and end at seven minutes past.\nIf a prof, keeps a class the members\nget up and walk out.\nCoeds living In boarding houses or\nsorority houses are compeUed to \"keep\nhours.\" They must be in every night\nby ton-thirty, except Fridays and\nSaturdays, when 1:30 and 12:30 are the\nrespective deadlines. Every house\ntaking students for the university\nyear Is examined by official* who\nplace tha official stigma upon those\nunfit. This, of course, compels all\nhouses to have two ashtrays and a\nbathroom. Men, on the other hand,\ndo not keep hours, which prove* a\ncontinual source of Irritation to the\nfemales sines 'the males take town\ngirls out in preference to coeds.\nThe buildings hero are numerous\nand no two look alike. Some of them\ndate from tho foundation of the university while others are in the process\nof erection. The athletic buildings are\nquite as many as tho purely academic\nstructures, and are scattered all over\nthe campus and beyond. So far I\nhave counted five gymnasiums and I\nbelieve there are more.\nThe stadium deserves a new paragraph. It is a perfect concrete oval\nfar excelling the motion picture type\nof thing. It has a permanent seating\ncapacity for 87,000, while bleachers can\nbe erected for another 12,000. A perfect view of play Is possible from any\nseat. I know since I have sat In some\nof the worst.\nThe football games are an important feature of tho autumn. After\nChristmas football still holds sway as\nfellows discuss the important question: \"Why Michigan should place six\nmen on the All American team!\" As\nfar as tho game Itself is concerned\nI find that the band Is wonderful.\nMichigan has a band of 106 pieces with\ndrum major thrown In extra. At half\ntime It puts on a grand display, while\nduring the game It starts at the slightest protest, such as when the players\nget tired and sit down for a rest. This\nIs frequent. In fact, I never saw such\na coddled collection of athletes before.\nEven the U.B.C. basketball team Is put\nIn the shade. Whenever the footbaU-\nen here get tired they caU time out\nand lie on the grass while a very\nsplendid looking person brings them\nlemonade. This occure about twice\nevery quarter, a quarter lasting fifteen minutes. Thus footbaU Is after all\nmerely a matter of swilling lemonade.\nAs tar as play Is concerned, the\nstadium is equipped with loud speakers through which a gent with a\nsouthern accent announces what is\ngoing on. Thus thc students always\nknow when to cheer. This is Important as when things go wrong the local\nfans boo lustily, the object of their\nvenom generally being their own\nquarterback, or their coach and occasionally tho referees, of which there\nis a regular squadron. This year Michigan fled Northwestern and Purdue\nfor tiie championship but tho amaslng\nthing Is that Michigan played neither\nof those other two squads, fills, of\ncourse, Is arranged ao that studanta\ncan always argue on whether Michigan could beat Northwestern. The\npresent argument has lasted for two\nyears and la stlU a favorite dinner\ntopic. Personally I Imagine that footbaU practice Is far move Interesting\nthan a game. Then tho players do\nnot got lemonade but have to pose for\npictures which is an awfully trying\nbusiness. Yet footbaU pays. The star\nman hero haa a wonderful job which\nconsists in keeping a table warm at\ntho Michigan Union.\nAll of which brings us to the Michigan Union. This Is a-club to which\nevery male member of the University\nbelongs. It Is a building on State\nStreet, tho main drag In Campus\nTown, and Is really a hotel on rather\nan elaborate Scale, containing billiard\nrooms, barber shops, cafe, dining\nroom, dance floon and other student\nnecessities. It has one really Inestimable advantage. No woman Is allowed In the place except when escorted by a member and even then\nshe must enter by the side door. At\nno time Is a female allowed In the tap\nroom\u00E2\u0080\u0094favorite loafing ground of tho\nstude.\nThat eternal blight on college life,\nthe fraternity, la rife on the Michigan\ncampus. Men are either fraternity or\nIndependent, and may tho goda help\ntho latter. Elections are aU fraternity politics while at election\ntimes campus town Itself divides\nsharply Into sections and signs implore tho dated passerby to vote for\ntha \"State Street Ticket\" or the\n\"Washtenaw Candidate.\" The difference la that the latter party haa money\nwhile tho State street people are\nmore plebeian, according to the caste\nsystem at present In vogue at the\nmodern university.\nAll In all, It Is a wonderful placo.\nThe life Itself haa a glamour all its\nown. Ninety percent of the students\nare Uvlng away from home and thus\nvisits are made to single rooms,\nwhere the guest takes the chair and\nthe host pretends he is comfortable\non the bed. Apples and cigarettes\nappear and the place becomes real\nhome. I think some one should write\na book on \"How one room can become\na palace of comfort.\"\nAt any rate everything is here to\nmake the student happy and comfortable. There is one innovation I would\nlike to make. I would like to Introduce the wearing of gowns by faculty\nand senlon. After aU there is nothing\nlike a gown when a man needs a\npen wiper.\nOh! Mr. Culbertson\nRufus McGoofus and Henrietta Negg\nlast night cut down their opponents'\nlead to only one rubber In the month-\nlong contract bridge tournament being staged in the Business Manager's\noffice. Using their card-ln-the-sleeve\nsystem they forced Ahtony and Cleopatra to forfeit their 4000 point lead\nduring the night's play.\nThe contest has completed its first\nweek. Antony remarked after the\nend ot the bout last night that McGoofus and Miss Negg were not playing their system. \"They had all the\ngood cards, too,\" he stated.\nCleopatra, one of the world's greatest exponents of \"Toe-tapping\" methods In contraot bridge, had nothing to\nsay concerning the play except, \"I've\nwon more rubbers in contract bridge\nthan McGoofus has in his whole lifetime at strip-poker.\"\nRufus, however, is firmly convinced\nhis card-in-the-sleeve system is better than that of the'official toe-tappers. \"Let me illustrate,\" he begged.\n\"In hand No. 287.3 North (that's Antony) had four aces, four kings and\nthree queens as well as a bunch of\ntent. He contracted for two no-\ntrumps while wo expanded' for six\nhearts. Our bid was doubled. We\nre-doubled. Cleo was astonished.\nAntony exclaimed, 'Et tu, Brute!' Mr.\nLannlng tha referee expelled him from\nthe building for talking but ha came\nback dressed at Martin Luther and\ngot by tho ref. So wo had to play\nour hands. I led an ace from my\nright-hand cuff. Antony played his\nace, my partner trumped it and the\nEgyptian queen took tho trick when\nno one was looking. At one time in\nthat particular hand wa wore down\nfour tricks but we had another one\nup our sleeves. At just the right moment Miss Negg pointed to a desk in\nthe corner and told our opponents it\nwas the table at which the great\nArnold Henderson worked. While\nthey stared in wonder we copped the\ntricks and, Incidentally, the game.\"\nThe players have found it necessary to foUow a special diet. Being\nin more or less of a gruelling match,\nthey drink gruel at every meal.

If\nyou don't believe me read the following harrowing tale:\nIt was the night before the fatal\n'day of resumption of lectures. Owing to a rather too great propensity\nfor mince pie and \"Jap\" oranges,\nsleep came slowly to my troubled\nbody. For a long time I lay awake,\nUstenlng to the steady drumming of\nthe rain on the roof and the yowling\nof the neighbor's radio. And as I\nlay thus ruminating, a steady beat\nas of tom-toms came to my can.\nLouder and louder grew the cadence\nand voices joined the recurrent drumming. As far as my horrified brain\ncould distinguish, the noise came\nfrom outside my window.\nThe tumult waxed louder and\nlouder and then suddenly stopped. To\nmy ears came the sound of a sharp,\nclear voice saying, \"Class, halt!\" This\nwas followed by a period of silence\nthen a sound of rustling paper was\nborne to me by the gusty breeze.\n\"Have you all got the right page?\"\nsaid the voice again. There was no\naudible reply. \"Forward, then,\" declared the unknown leader, \"and be\ncareful not to dirty your nice white\ngowns.\"\nTo my utter astonishment shrouded\nfigures commenced to enter by my\nbedroom window. They passed completely through the glass without any\nvisible effort. In silent they grouped\nthemselves around the foot of the\nbed and raised copies of the Student\nHandbook before their faces. A figure\ndraped in black stepped forward and\nraised his clenched hand to the level\nof his face and said \"Doh!\" Immediately all the shrouded apparitions\nintoned \"Doh!\" and all its possible\nvariations.\nThen the leader rapped sharply on\nthe frame of the bed with his\nknuckles and commenced to beat\ntime.\n\"One and two and,\" droned the\nghostly mentor, and, on the second\n\"and\" all the concourse of visitants\ncommenced an unearthly chanting.\n\"Todd,\" they intoned, \"where Smith\nhad had 'had,' had had 'had had,'\n'had had' had had the approval of the\nexaminers. Now is the time for all\ngood men to come to the aid of the\nparty.\"\nSuddenly the whole troupe of apparitions disappeared, and I was at\na track and field meet of long ago.\n\"Remember,\" the coach was saying\n-in my ear, \"the third hurdle is the\nhardest, after it the race Is won or\nlost.\"\nI was crouched at the mark.\n\"Crack!\"\nWe were off.

January 12 will be the first\nchance students will have of seeing\nthe home crew in action and with\nthe Multnomah club as opposition, a\nbig crowd Is expected.\nPlaying in Seattle on December 28\nwith only six men the Varsity boys\nlost to the University ot Washington\nsquad by a score of 74-21 before a\ncrowd of two thousand spectators.\nWeakened by the injury to Osborne's ankle and by the absence\nof \"Pi\" Campbell the six Varsity,\nmen had to play, against a squad\nthat had the equivalent of three\nteams. Numerous substitutions\nthroughout the entire game wore\ndown the Blue and Gold crew. The\nPuget Sound team averaged 6 ft. 1\nin. in height artd Laurie Nicholson,\nU. B. C. 6 ft. centre had to contest\nin the toss ups with a giant opponent measuring 6 ft, o in. The game\nopened fast and the Washington\nquintette sent the ball through'the\nhoop for 22 points before Varsity got\na point. The continuous substitutions on the Seattle team undoubtedly had an effect on making the\nscore as one sided as it was.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nPlaying at Lethbridge In the first\ngame of their Canadian tour, the\nVarsity cage five were handed a\n43-31 beating.\nPlaying in a small gymnasium, tlie\nlocal boys appeared to be affected\nby the restricted conditions. The\ngame .was not a brilliant exhibition\nof basketball and the Blue and Oold\ncrew lacked that extra bit of pep\nwhich they usually possess. \"Pi\"\nCampbell and Bob Osborne were the\noutstanding players on the Varsity\nside.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nThe Raymond Union Jacks handed\nthe U. B. C. hoopsters a last minute\ndefeat on New Tear's day when a\nlooping shot gave the prairie team\na two point margin in the dying\nmoments of the game, the final\nscore being 32-30.\nThe game was played before 500\nexcited fans who saw some snatches\nof really snappy basketball. Both\nteams started at a fast clip and Varsity drew first blood on a free\nthrow. From then until half time\nit was a see-saw battle and the\nscore stood at 11 all at the half way\nmark. The Jacks took a seven point\nlead In the second half but Varsity\nspeeded up the play and the score\nwas tied with three minutes to go.\nBoth teams were working hard and\nU. B. C. went into the lead on a\nlong shot which was equalized a\nfew seconds later when Raymond\nconverted two personals. With less\nthan a minute to go the Union Jacks\nscored with a long looping shot\nfrom the sidelines which spelled defeat for the coast aggregation.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 * *\nPlaying a long shot, open game\nthe Varsity hoop five showed their\nproper form at last when they defeated the Calgary Moose Domers\n43-31 on Saturday and broke Into\nthe win column on their eastern\njaunt.\nThis game found the Blue and\nGold boys a little more accustomed\nto atmosphere conditions and apparently more used to continual travelling. Play was not spectacular but\nshowed Varsity in much stronger\nform. The boys played a steady\ngame with every member of the\nteam working hard and teaming well\ntogether.\nThe Blue and Gold boys played\nin Regina Monday night and will\nperform in Moose Jaw tonight, after\nwhich they leave for Winnipeg for\nthe first game of the Intercollegiate\nseries.\nU.B.C.

Vienna.\nICE HOCKEY\nMEN TO PLAY\nThe Ice Hockey Club of Varsity\nhas entered a team in the Junior division of the Vancouver Amateur\nHockey Association this year, and\nfrom all indications an interesting session is to be expected. The U. B. C.\nboys have a bye on Friday, but they\nplay the Canucks the week after at\n8.30 p.m. and the following Friday,\nJanuary 22, they meet the Vies at the\nsame time. Both games are scheduled\nfor the Arena.\nThe efforts of the Basketball Club so far'this year have\napparently been crowned with a conspicuous lack of success,\nand in view of such a situation we may be accused of \"alibying\"\nin seeking to attribute the failure of the squad to the influence\nof unusual circumstances. We wish to point out several factors,\nwhich we think should be more generally recognized before\npassing judgment on the hoopsters.\nIn the first place it must be remembered that the clubs\ntook certain steps at the beginning of the season to try and\nsafeguard the academic standing of the members of the senior\nteam. In so doing, the Club was forced into a situation which\ndenied them the benefit of meeting teams of their own calibre\nin active competition, and in consequence the players suffered\nthrough inactivity and showed a lack of practice which soon\nbecame a serious handicap. Realizing the inevitable outcome of\nsuch a state of affairs the management began negotiations which\nare at last bearing fruit 'in providing competition which is\nvitally necessary if the basketball team is to fittingly defend its\nlaurels as champions of the Dominion of Canada.\nWe must remember then that the present efforts of the\nClub are to be regarded rather in the light of an attempt to\nface a serious situation and endeavoring to stage a \"come-back\"\nrather than a triumphal tour. The result will probably fail to\nimmediately satisfy our student ego, but we should recognize\nthe necessity of momentarily sacrificing a little prestige in a\ncommendable effort to assure the ultimate return to status quo.\nRuggers Hope\nFor Success\nThis Season\nThe English Rugby Club is once\nmore operating at full pressure and\nthe boys are already in good condition and practising regularly. Practises this term will be on Tuesday,\nWednesday and Thursday at 3 p.m.\nThe number of teams participating\njthis year is restricted to three besides the McKechnie Cup team.\nThese are one Millar Cup team and\none team in the 2nd and 3rd divisions.\nThe practise turnouts have been\nquite satisfactory so far according\nto the club president and everything\npoints to a successful season. The\nfirst big game takes place next Saturday when the McKechnie Cup\nsquad hooks up with Victoria Reps\nIn a tussle at the Island city.\nBy HIMIE KOSHEVOY\n(Reprinted from the January 1st edition of the Vancouver Star.)\nWhat with reviews of this and that\ncrowding the pages of all journals\na resume of Varsity sport for the year\n1931-32 would not be very much\namiss and so with apologies to the\ncopyright owners it can be said that\nthe collegiate theme song for the year\nwas \"Hall the Conquering Hero\nComes.\"\nUnversity of B. C.'s athletes dashed\nhither and yon in one of the most\nsuccessful years that sport has had\nbut at the Point Orey institution. The\nhoop lads popped baskets in such a\nmanner as to lead them right into\ntho Dominion championship.\nCaptained by Arnold Henderson,\nvoted the V. and D.'s best all-round\nplayer, the cagers vanquished all before them In the race for the provincial title, squeezed the threat from\nVictoria and went on past Winnipeg\nToilers and St. Catharines Orads.\nAfter laying back all season in the\nBig Four'race, the student gridders\nrose to inspired heights when they\nvanquished the all-conquering brown\nand gold squad from tiie University\nof Manitoba. The sight of Art Murdoch booting the winning points and\nDoug. Mclntyre weaving through\ntacklers to save the day Is one that\nwUl linger long In the memory of\ngrid enthusiasts.\nVarsity women cagers were not idle\nand took unto themselves the B, C.\ntitle after an unbeaten season. Graduation, however, has taken a great toll\nand the coeds are not the team they\nused to be.\nWith the ushering in of 1931 came\nthe desire for more sport at the U.B.C.\nso inter-class leagues were formed in\nbasketball and soccer and the students\nindulged in more and more sport.\nAlao with the increase in sport-consciousness came the desire for their\nown stadium.\nThus was born a great drive equalling that when the students campaigned'for a new site for their university,\nBy- means of sport exhibitions and a\nvariety of contests and sales the collegians garnered enough shekels to\nget started. Now a well laid out stadium ground adorns the campus and\nawaits only bleachers to complete the\ninitial ambition.\nTennis was also in for a revival\nat the university and in the fall term\nthe executives staged the first tournament in many years, which was worked through to a successful conclusion.\nThe English ruggers battled courageously for the McKechnie Cup in\nthe spring but were beaten out.\nSoccer worked up a little in the\nsecond division, while swimming,\ngrass hockey and badminton had a\nfair season. Trackmen were in good\nform and lost out by the odd few\npoints to CoUege of Puget Sound in\ntheir annual meet.\nBasketball was in the limelight\nagain when the Point Orey squad\nwon the western intercollegiate title.\nThe perpetual challenge cup offered for tiie Inter-class joccer\nchampionship by the University Soccer Club two years ago is one of the\nhandsomest trophies representative of\nIntramural athletic supremacy on\nthe campus. Interest in the competition last year was very keen, and\nsome fast games were served up by\nthe various classes. This year promises to furnish an even better class'\nof soccer and in consequence, a\ncloser and more hard-fought struggle for the cup. Science '34 are\npresent holders of the trophy and\nare again out In front in the Science\nLeague this year.\nMen and nations can only be reformed in their youth; they become\nincorrigible as they grow old.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Rousseau.\nALLAN'S\nfor\nFirst Class Shoe Repairing\nBest Material Used\n4529 10th Avenue West\nDDHIAI HEI8H1S\nTAXI\n10th and Sasamat\nPhones: DAY, ELL. 15S1\nNIGHT, BAY. 8359\nSTOP PRESS!\nResult of Monday Nights\nBasket Game in Regina\nREGINA .\nVARSITY.\n11\n31\n*\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nHockeyettes Meet\nNormal In First-\nGame of Year\nU.
