An author-\natative source of information, he is\nvice president of Canada's largest labour organization \u00E2\u0080\u0094 the Trades and\nLabour Congress.\nThe present state of affairs is man-\nmade, according to Mr. Bengough.\nThe public indifference to actual\nplans for curing unemployment must\nbe changed before any improvement\nwill be made. The depression is no\nlonger the cause of unemployment.\nIt is the result of so many people being without work.\nWhile Mr, Bengough urged several\nsocial and legislative reforms, he said.f\n\"Do not blame *he government, for\na* long as people are satisfied with\nconditions a* they are, there will be\nno change.\" In Vancouver there are\nactual caaea of people working twelve\nhours a day, seven day* a week. One\nof the main points In the labour plat\nemployment Insurance. \"There is\nnot one country that having once had\nUnemployment Insurance has dropped\nit since,\" he said.\nThe limitation of migration Is another stand taken by the Trades and\nLabour Congress of Canada. Is it\nnot selfishness to prevent other artisans from enteiing the country\nwhen there is not enough work for\nour own men? In conclusion, Mr.\nBengough made the statement that\nthe Congress prefers to co-operate\nwith legal and peaceful methods in\nthe forwarding of their recommendations.\nform 1* the shorter working day. The\nN.R.A. may not be a success from the\nacademic point of 'view but from the\nworkman'3 it is a great improvement\non former systems. This applied to\nshorter hours especially.\nThe machine is a benot'ictcr to the\nsocial system and Mr. Bengough saw\nno reason why men should labour if\na machine could do it. The work,\nhowever, should be dealt out in\nsmaller quantities and higher wages\npaid.\nThe conditions of many workmen\nin Vancouver are really pitiful in\nsome case* for muny are on the verge\nof starvation. \"Relief\" as it is now\na'-Wiihistered,\" Is breaking the\" spirit\nSpring Play\nTry-Outs\nAnnounced\nPreliminary eliminations for the cast\nof thc spring play, \"Caesar and Cleopatra,\" were made by the Players'\nClub at try-outs on the auditorium\nstage on Friday afternoon.

It is very essential that these be handed in before Thursday, Jan. 18, or these students will not have their photographs\nin the Totem.\nThe photographers ask that the following notice which is enclosed with\nthe proofs be taken notice of; \"the\nenclosed proofs represent the picture\nin an unfinished state and will\nfade If exposed to strong light.

A\ntablet discovered in 1921, stated Dr.\nMcCrossan, poinls to the truth of this\ndisputed passage.\nTo certain other passages he gave\nstartling interpretations. Outstanding\namong these waa the prediction of\nautomobiles many centuries in advance of Ford and Chrystar, referred I\nto in the Bible as \"chariots with\nflaming torches,\" and, by the speak- j\ner's interpretation, signs of the sec-1\nond coming of Christ.

AU Interested\nstudents are urged to attend.\nAccording to a statement made by Max Stewart, President of Men's Athletics, the proposed promotion of soccer may\nnecessitate the demotion of some other major sport. At the\npresent time the major sports are: English Rugby, Canadian\nRugby, Track and Basketball. If such a necessity arises, the\nquestion of which sport is to receive a sub-major ranking will\nhave to be discussed. The supporters of all sports are for this\nreason urged to attend.\nThe points advanced by the soccer club as a basis for\nmajor rating appeared in the last edition of the Ubyssey. For the\nedification of those who did not read them they are here brief-\nly summarized:\n1. Soccer is one of the most active sports on the campus by reason of two teams competing in leagues and the interclass competitions.\n2. Varsity's soccer team last year was in the finals of\nthe Mainland Cup. The promotion of the sport to major ranking would insure a larger turnout and a better team.^\n3. Soccer will at all times have available a high calibre\nof players by reason of:\n(a) Elementary and high school teams.\n(b) Interclass competition.\n4. Soccer deserves major sport ranking because of the\nfact that former Varsity players are now playing on the leading coast teams.\nAPES\nAND\nIVORY\n-^^mmmmmmmmmm\n^____r^H____H\nBy ARTHUR MA?S\u00C2\u00A3\nWAKE UP GRADS!\nLack of cooperation has been lamentably obvious in\nregard to the Totem. Graduates are not taking their appointments seriously, and either do not turn up for their appointments at all, at the same time not notifying the Totem editor\nof their inability to come at the time indicated, or they notify\nthe editor when it is too late to substitute another name for the\nappointment, thus wasting the time of the photographer, the\nengraver, and all concerned.\nSurely the annual is one project for which students could\ntake some trouble. It is hard at the best to get the Totem out\non time,, before the Spring exams, but when the students take\nno interest, it is doubly difficult.\nEclipse\n(solo)\n\"Somewhere before the setting of the moon\nI chanced on a night-walking company\nClad aU in tailored weed and two-tone ahoon ....\nCans't tell me, Brother, who these wights may be?\"\n(solo)\n\"Quaffing my beer yest'reen I heard one say\nThat ere the morrow's morn was weU begun\nFull score of merry clerks from West Point Grey\nWould sally forth to undertake the Sun.\"\n(duet)\n\"Here by this lamp post, Brother, let us stand\nBeseeching all our gods with trembling lips\n.

Amos refused to\ngive the story of his flight to the press, but did release a little\nadvance information on spring.\nStill, while his judgments on such matters are\u00C2\u00BB usually\ntrustworthy, readers are advised against pawning the winter\novercoat for a while yet!\n* \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nSea-Serpent Sonnet\nThe river Hassayampa hath a power\nMiraculous.

If so do\nnot pay any attention, for lt is quite\npossible that high blood pressure is\nnot due to over eating but to uncontrolled quantities of ions in the\nair.\nMeasuring Ions\nThe number of ions in the air varies with the conditions of the atmosphere. Over in the Physics department Tom How,,n last year's honor\ngraduate in Physics has constructed\nan Interesting machine for measuring\nthe ions in the air. The main part\nof the apparatus is a grey affair\nwhich looks like a telescope through\nwhich passes a current of air one\ntwo thousandths million mUliona of\nthe current that goes into an electric\nlight bulb. This special tube amplifies the current. All the while the\nmachine is operating there Is a steady\nwhirr of a fan nt the end of he tube.\nThe current of air passing through\nthe fan and the tube moves a little\nneedle encased in a box on the desk.\nBy means of this needle it is possible to calculate the number of ions\nin the air. The reason for the needle\nmoving is completely beyond the\ncomprehension of your Campus Explorer, who is not a graduate in\nPhysics and never will be. Enough\nthat it does move and that she had\nit on very good authority that it did\nmeasure the ions of the air.\nAttention, McCoy Fans!\nThese ions are very Important\nthings to our health. Dr. Desseaur,\na well known European professor,\nhas cured hign blood pressure by controlling ths Ions of the air.\nA professor In the U. S. insists\nthat rheumatic weather prophets, that\nis, men who can correctly foretell the\nweather by twinge* in their legs or\nshoulders, owe their power to the\nelectrical condition of the air.\nWhy Lectures Do Not Stimulate\nModem systems of ventilating take\nall the ions from the air and this\nmay be very oad for the health.\nMountain air contains lots of ions\nand is therefore very exhiliarating.\nProbably you can all testify that a\nroom, especially a lecture room which\ndepends solely on thc ventilating system for Its fresh air, and therefore\nlacks ions, is far from exhiliarating.\nTom How constructed the apparatus\nhimself during last term. So far he\nhas only been measuring the Ions for\na week and has found no irregularities. The amount varies with the\nweather conditions and the air contains from ISO to 1500 ions per cubic\ncentimeter. This is the first time\nthat the elecrical condition of the air\nhas been measured in B. C.\nOur Mechanic Shop\nThe mechanic shop, which is In the\nprocess of construction may also be\nfound in the Phy.lcs department. It\nis hoped that all the instruments\nneedec by the department may be\nmade here. The room at present has\nthe woody smell of a carpenter shop\nand the chief feature about it is the\nchips scattered on the floor.\nExploring the Spectrum at Boron\n! Just off the unfinished mechanics'\nshop is the lab of two more honour\ngraduates, Don Coles and Patrick\nMcTaggart-Cowan. They wish to\nstudy the spectrum of boron. This\nhas never been done before and lt\nthey are successful they should receive recognition by the scientific\nworld.\nJust at present they are engaged in\nconstructing the necessary apparatus.\nThe most conspicuous piece of apparatus is a long box draped in black\nwhich contains a spectroscope for\nthe analysis of Ught, This is one of\nthe most valuable instruments at the\nuniversity. Before beginning to analyze the light they must make ex\nceptionally fine quartz lenzes to put\nthe light through. They are engaged\nwith that at present and it will be at\nleast a month before they begin the\noperations on th. spectrum of bor6n\nwhich may bring them scientific\nfame.\nEMPRESS\nTHEATRE\nTHE SCOTTISH\nRETURN ENGAGEMENT\nJAN. 25 to 31\nMatinees Saturday and Wednesday\nMUSICAL PLAYERS\n\"TAM O'SHANTER,\" Jan. 25th, 26th, 27th\n\"THE COTTER'S SATURDAY NIGHT,\" 29th, 30th\n\"THE BONNIE BRIER BUSH,\" 31st-Mat. and Eve.\n$1.00,7S#, fO\u00C2\u00BB\u00E2\u0080\u0094Plus Tax\nTHURS., FEB 1, ONLY \"ga-*\nTHE VIENNA BOYS' CHOIR\nOlraat from luropa\u00E2\u0080\u0094Flrit tour abroad\u00E2\u0080\u0094tl boy* from tht famoui Ohoir\n'oundod In 14\u00C2\u00BBS\n92.00, $1.10, $1.00,7S#, SOe-Plus Tax\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2at tab (both attraelloni) now at Oono.pt Surtau, J.

They are\ndominated by three primary considerations \u00E2\u0080\u0094 loyalty to the state, the\nIdeal of courage and self-control as\nportrayed in the soldier and the\nthought that modern Japan is beset\nby enemies.\"\n\"There is utter -bhorence of war in\nthe minds of the young people,\" Miss\nChapell added. \"They consider it\nstupid and fuUle and are a little re-\nbelious now to the military training\nwhich takes from them two of the\nbest years of their lives.\"\nThe Japanese students have been\nforced to consider economic justice\nby the serious unemployment problem, and some of the most promising\nyoung men are becoming strongly influenced by communistic thought\nfrom Russia,\n\"Can these problems be solved by\none nation alor.e. Is it not necessary\nfor the 'men of good-will' to join to\nEwther?

Tenth Ave.\nEssays, These-, Etc. Preach\nHis name is Garnet Gladwin Sedgewick, but he seldom admits it.\nDr. Sedgewick is head of the department of English, an authority on\ndramatic irony, modern poetry, comic 'strips in the Vancouver Daily\nProvince and that modern corrupting influence, the talking picture,\nSince Dr. Sedgewick is head of\nthe department he has many privileges. One of these is to have a female member of his class close the\ndoors after his usual dramatic entrance. Also he can, and does come\nln the lectures late. At frequent intervals during the lecture Dr. Sedgewick runs his fingers through his leonine mane which can only be compared in quantity to that of Dean\nBuchanan.\nThat Dr. Sedgewick was born is\nan undisputed fact. According to reliable Information this blessed event\ntook place in Nova Scotia. How long\nago, or what was the exact name of\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2be town, city or village in which he\nllrst saw the Ught of day is not known.\nThe name of the town has several\nsyllables In it, and ends, it is believed, with\u00E2\u0080\u0094uagua.\nNot much of Herr Dokter's early\nhistory is known except that after\namazing the local pedagogues with\nhis learning he left for Dalhousie, a\nUniversity situated somewhere in the\nwilds of Nova Scotia. After Dr. Sedgewick had completed the course there,\nhe heard the caU of the west, in\nthe person of the town of Nanaimo,\nwhich was caUing for a teacher, He\nanswered.\nThe doctor spent two years there,\nand then not being a soccer enthusiast, he was forced to leave, and\ncome to Vancouver High School (now\nKing Edward.) Since he had boarded\nat a Greek restaurant in Nanaimo.\nDr. Sedgewick among other subjects\ntaught Greek. In or around 1910 finding that he had imparted enough information to the students of Vancouver to keep them going for a couple\nof years, he left for Harvard. There\nhe studied dramatic irony and since\nthat time he has continued to study\nit, so that he has > become what is\nknown as a whizz at the subject.\nIt is for the purpose of giving lee\ntures on this subject, that the Doc\ntor is leaving Vancouver to go to\nToronto this spring. It Is undoubtedly\none of the greatest honors that has\never fallen to the lot of any man,\nand more especiaUy to EngUsh professors, to lecture before the intelligen-\nsia oi Toronto. Or should one merely say Toronto? (If there is any\ndoubt on this point one can ask the\npeople of Toronto.)\nAfter he had completed his course\nat Harvard Dr. Sedgewick left for\nSt. Louis where he lectured at Washington coUege. After a short period\nthere G. G. grew tired of the \"you-\nall\" and \"them-aU\" prevalent in the\ncloistered shades of that city, so he-\nall left for that Boston of the West,\nVancouver. He came to the University\nof British Columbia where he took\ncharge of the English department and\none other man.\nHe has been lecturing here ever\nsince, between wanting to play the\npart of Hamlet. Dr. Sedgewick's hobby is pulling ears and tweaking noses. At that hobby he has become so\nproficient that he is rated as an expert. In one day he tweaked the ears\nor pulled the noses of 17 seniors, 21\njuniors and 34 sophomores, undoubtedly a new world record.\nHe resembles Mr. Bennett and the\nPrince of Wales ln so far as he is\none of the world'., most eligible bachelors.\u00E2\u0080\u0094 D.C.M.\n5 20: Guy Palmer\n2:10 Ethel Davis\n2:15 Phyllis Leckie\n2:20 Milton Owen\n3:00 Laurence McMullen\n3:05 Ian McQueen\n3:10 AUce F.

Purves\nSiamese Consul\nSpeaks To Club\nVisualize a country endowed by a\nbounteous Nature with an ideal climate and a fertile soil, a country the\nbeauty of whose scenery is only surpassed by the puchritude of its womanhood, n country in which the\nrich patina of ancient culture is delicately overlaid with the intricate design cf modern civilization. This was\nthe picture by means of which Captain Armstrong, the Siamese Consul, portrayed thu country he represents before a supper meeting of the\nCosmopolitan Club on Sunday evening.\nNo Unemployed\nIn Introduction Capt. Armstrong,\nstating that most Canadians have not\nan intimate knowledge of the country or its people, gave a brief but\ncomprehensive geographical description of Siam. Its area, he explained,\nis 200.000 square miles (three-fifths\nthe area of B. C); its population is\n12,000,000 but there are no unemployed! It is divided geographically\ninto three parts; a mountainous northern country, central plains and a\nsouthern region situated on the\nNorthern Malayan peninsula.\nElephantine Donkey Engines\nThe chief industry of the northern\ncotintiy is lumbering. The extensive\nteak forests are logged under strict\ngovernment supervision so that a\nprocess of natural reforestation la always in progress. Elephant* make\nefficient and economical donkey-\nengines. The product of the fertile\ncentral plains, cultivated by a hardy\nand frugal peasantry, is rice, much of\nwhich eventuaUy finds its way to\nCanada. The south is the site of\nmany beautiful summer resorts, numerous beaches and golf courses providing an unsurpucwble natural playground. Cooling breezes from the\nGulf of Siam transform what would\nordinarily be a tropical heat into a\ntemperate climate.\nA Progressive State\nAlthough Slam's age makes it an\narcheologist's paradise, the country\nhas kept abreast of modern progress.\nIts railway system is one of the most\nefficient in the world; an extensive\nair-mail and passenger system is\nmaintained, and a \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 well-equipped\narmy, navy and air force is ready\nat aU times to prevent foreign aggression.\nCosmopolitan\nThe population is so cosmopolitan\nthat Siam has often been termed a\n\"Little League of Nations.\" Purebred Siamese .ve rare, Mongolian,\nChinese, Malayan and Portuguese\nblood being commonplace. This, however, does not prevent a strong nation il pride although an international\noutlook is fostered. Tlie Sianrase are\npeace loving and entirely devoted to\ntheir king.\nProhibition is unknown, but sober\nhabits characterise the people as a\nwhole. The idea of drinks served in\nbarbecue fashion appealed to the audience. Wealthy Siamese citizens often\nhold parties at their luxurious estates\nwhich may last for three days or\nmore. Anyone who has ever met the\nhost is welcome without even the\nformality of an invitation.\nUnUl recently Siam was one of the\nfew absolute monarchies still ln existence. Last year a democratic constitution was drawn up and a parliament formed. Although a Siamese aristocracy exists there is no Senate or House of Lords. All classes\nare eligible for parliamentary membership. Titles are awarded as a result of achievement in political or\nadministrative fields.\nEducation High\nThc level of education in Siam is\nhigh, according to the speaker. There\nare numerous public and high schools\nnot to mention a university at Ban-\nkok. Students who show signs of\nunusual ability are given every\nchance for rapid advancement.\nIn conclusion Capt. Armstrong mentioned that a trip to Siam is fairly\ninexpensive and expressed the hope\nthat many of his listeners would have\nthe opportunity to visit the country\nhe ha. described.\nExchange Views\nBy Nancy MUes\n\"A VOTE FOR WIMPY IS A VOTE\nFOR WIMPY\"\nThe Washington DaUy, not alto-\ntogether in approval of the candidates who have reared their lovely\nheads for the offices of A.S.U.W.,\nhave entered their own candidate into the field. A photograph reveals\nthat their man is of decidedly Simian\ncast of countenance, Indeed the original Simian, for he is an ape whose\ncognomen is J. Wellington Wimpy.\nOne of Mr. Wimpy's chief attributes\ns his enormous strength which enables him to carry his platform from\nmeeting to meeting, a decided advantage to his campaign managers,\nof whom there are forty-five.\nRare among candidates the world\nover, Mr. Wimpy is very succinct before the press. His campaign slogan\nyou will see above, \"A Vote for\nWimpy is a Vote for Wimpy.\" His\ngratitude to his supporters was expressed as follows:\n\"I want to thank youse guys for\nSneers and Jeers\nii\nThe Campus Crab Is heartily nip-\nported by tho co-eds. He addre-ses a\nshort homUy to the Players Club, and\nhighly applauds the Studenta' Council.

This ancient\nand more or lets honorable agglomeration of Thespians should watch\nits step over the Spring Play.\nIn spite of the reputation achieved\nby past triumphs, it seems to have\ndeclined to the common attitude of\ncampus clubs\u00E2\u0080\u0094that \"anything is good\nenough.\"\n\"Anything\" is NOT good enough.\nThe last Spring Play achieved nothing but the destruction of the loyal\nfollowing that the club has buUt up\nfor itself over many years. If they\nwent on tour this year, many towns\nthat have always heartily supported\nthe club would not provide tiie box\noffice with enough to pay the janitor for sweeping out after them.\nThe Christmas plays showed some\nimprovement, but not enough. Except for \"The Pie and the Tart\" their\nfinish and timing was terrible. One\neven neglected the basic necessity of\nclear enunciation to such an extent\nthat it was almost unintelligible. This\nis NOT \"good enough.\"\nThe Players' Club, whether lt realizes it or not, has an uphiU fight\nahead of it. If (he new director lives\nup to her excellent reputation and\nthe members seriously attempt to improve their standards, it may climb\nback to the peaks reached in \"Pygmalion\" and \"Friend Hannah.\"\nIf it does not, it will continue down\nthe chute it started on with \"Alibi,\"\nand end as just another group of\ncampus stuffed shirts.\n...\nLet us all kowtow to the Students'\nCouncil! According to a Ubyssey\nheadline this omnipotent body has\nresolved that basketball MUST become more popular.\nBut one thing puzzles me. If our\nrepresentatives can achieve this most\nworthy object, as they appear to believe, why must we cut all our budgets by 20 percent? v\nAny organization that can decree\nthat anything MUST become more\npopular and get ttway with it, could\neasily earn us enough to increase our\nbudgets by many hundreds of percent.\nThink of what the Conservative\nparty would pay us to have them\nresolve \"That Dennett MUST become more popular\", or the dividends\nthat we could draw from Hitler to\nhave them decide that \"Everybody\nMUST lbve the Nazis.\"\nHave we had such a gold mine in\nour midst for years without discovering it?\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 .\nWe beg to announce the prospective ar pearance in our midst of a new\nPresident and Secretary. An Aeronautical Club is to be launched on\nthe campus.\nThe rustle you hear is the existing legion of Supreme Potentates\nsqueezing over to give them room.\nAs perhaps we have mentioned before, we consider the ranks of these\nluminaries a bit crowded.\nThe objects of the new club are\ndoubtless very laudable in themselves\nbut we already have so many activities and organization, on the campus\nthat the place is as active as a can\nfull of angleworms\u00E2\u0080\u0094and gets about\nas much done.\nI would suggest that the Council\nrefers the application ef the new society back to its sponsors, and then\nrefers the sponsors to a place of residence even farther than that. A\nfew of our already existing activities could weU be invited to accompany them.\nHowever, if my suggestion is not\nacted on, it wiU be a consolation to\nknow that the addition of a new\nPresident and Secretary to our extensive Mugs' Gallery will increase\nthe exclusiveness of the Society of\nUndergraduates Who Do NOT Hold\nOffice .\naU the things you have did for me,\"\nfollowed by tears. \"When the campaign is over and I have won, I'm\ngoing to invite you all to a big dinner.

Wind, and Referee's Whistle\nSpoil Game\nThe McKechnie Cup Varsity English Rugby team came\nback from Victoria with a one-point hold on the coveted trophy.\nSaturday afternoon playing on a rain drenched field and with\na 30 m.p.h. wind to complicate matters Varsity were held to\na 0-0 score by the championship Victoria Rep. team. ,\nThe play during the game was fairly^\nevenly matched with Varsity if anything having a slight edge. Throughout the whole contest Varsity's scrum\nwere superior, utilizing their weight\nand experience to advantage. The\nbackfield, despite the handicap of a\nmuddy rain-soaked baU, handled weU.\nVanity Threatens\nVarsity won the toss and elected to\nplay with the wind. During this half\nVarsity pressed repeatedly but the ex-\nceUent clearing kicks of Mclnnes and\nStipe prevented a score. During one\npart of this half Pearson, Varsity\nscrum man, crossed the line with the\nball only to have it slip from his\nhands.\nVic. Rogers, former Blue and Oold\nplayer now scrum leader for Victoria,\nwas forced to leave the game when\nhe was kicked on the head. Jack\nDunn, fleet wing three-quarter for\nVictoria, left the game for a short time\nbut later returned.\nVanity Scrum Good\nDuring the second half with the\nwind behind them Victoria kicked repeatedly. It was only this that prevented a score. Varsity scrum continued to have the advantage of play\nwhile the three-quarters tackled weU.\nDuring this half Strat. Legatt broke\naway for a couple of long runs which\nhad the small crowd to its feet. Victoria came close to scoring in the\nlast few minutes when Bobby Tye\ntried a drop kick which fortunately\nwas touched down by some of Varsity's players.\nSenkler .Morris, Brand Star\nSenkler, red-headed scrum man from\nVictoria, shone for Varsity, turning in\none of the best games of his career.\nMorris and Upward were also good\nln the scrum. In the backfield Tye,\nBrand and Legatt shone.

The scon\nwas 2-1.\nMcDougal Late Again\nVarsity started off with only ten\nmen. McDougal arriving half an hour\nlate. Vikings went ahead during this\ninterval through their left-wlngman,\nwho beat Greenwood in Varsity's goal\nwith a pretty effort. The students retaliated with several rushes, and Martin and Smith were unfortunate ln\nnot scoring. Wolfe also met with hard\nluck, when his long drive barely\nmissed the left top corner of the goal\nwith the custodian out of position.\nThe CoUeglans' attacks, however,\nwere not concentrated enough to be\ndeserving of a counter. Accordingly\nit was not until half way through the\nsecond half that Varsity entered the\nscore column. Costain ,who had moved from fullback to left wing at the\nchange-over, put across a long centre\nwhich Smith met squarely and crashed into the net. At this stage of the\ntussle Varsity was definitely superior\nand looked like winners. However, in\nspite of several dangerous sallies, the\nstudents could not get the ball past\nthe Viking custodian, partly because\nof stellar work on his part and mostly\nbecause of execrable shoothig.\nGreenwood Hadn't' A Chance\nAt the other end of the field Vikings made good use of their few opportunities and on one of them pushed the sphere past Greenwood, who\nhad no chance with a hard bouncing\nshot. The rest of the encounter saw\nVarsity constantly on the attack, but\nunable to secure the tieing tally.\nKosooUn Good\nFor Vanity, Kozoolin was outstanding, with Hughie Smith on the right\nwing a close second. Thurber and\nSutherland, two new recruits from the\nJunior squad, showed up weU. Martin at centre forward seemed to be\ncompletely off his usual game, and\nArchie McDougal also had a slump.\nThe rest of the squad turned in good\ngames and played sound ball.\nMillar McGiU and Dave Todd, who\nare both out of the game with injuries, are due to return to the fold next\nSaturday and wlU greatly strengthen\nthe squad for its coming league encounters.\nWHAT'S HAPPENED\nEnglish Rugby\nFirst Div. 0\u00E2\u0080\u0094Victoria Rep. 0\nSec.

The students finished the first half ahead of the\nchurch squad by a 16-10 score. In\nthe second period, however, Chalmers crept up and the final whistle\nfound the two teams deadlocked at\n32 all. In the five minute overtime\nVarsity held their opponents scoreless and at the same time scored one\nbasket to win 34-32.\nThe whole Varsity team turned in\ngood performances with Prior leading the scoring with 8 points and\nMorrison, Thurbur and Wolfe playing especially well.\nRyerson Comes From Behind To Win\nVarsity started off strongly in the\ngame with Ryer.on, and lead 16-10\nat half time. However, in the second\nperiod the students repeatedly missed\nchances to score and allowed the\nboys from Kerrisdale to forge ahead.\nThe fact that only six players turned\nout, also handicapped the Varsity\nsquad as adequate substitutions could\nnot be made.

Senior A game at\nthe U.B.C. gymnasium Friday. It was the first game Varsity\nhas played without the assistance of Frank Hay and Ralph Henderson, who were declared ineligible for further play. George\nPringle and Dick Wright alternated at filling Hay's former position as guard with Captain Osborne.\nVarsity pressed strongly from the t to dominate the play to the final\nstart with Bob Osborne opening the\nscoring foUowed ty a basket by Jim\nBardsley. Osborne played at the top\nof his form gathering 10 points in the\nfirst half and was largely instrumental in putting the students in the lead.\nPringle also turned in a capable performance at guard.

The second team, which held\nthe league leading Nanalmo team to\na tie last time they played them,\nfielded a scrub team which through\nlack of experience were unable to\nstop the hard fighting coal heavers.\nDue to the fact that it was necessary for the touring ruggers to pay\ntheu* own expenses it was difficult\nfor Coach McConnachie to field a\nteam. So difficult that he was forced\nto break his former vows and play\nhimself. The team was largely composed of third division players who\napparently have more money than\nthe second team players.\nOnly once or twice during the game\ndid Varsity press at all. Nanaimo\nopened strongly and continued to\nforce the play throughout the game.\nThe opening score came from a beautifully executed drop kick by a Nan-'\nalmo player. From then on they\nromped across the Blue and Gold\nline about every five minutes. Their\nconvert kicking was poor.\nRoy McConnachie was forced to\nleave the field when he twisted his,\nknee after 15 minutes of play. |\nVarsity scrum played well but the!\nbackfield, especially the Inside men\ntackled poorly. Nanalmo thoroughly deserved to win.\nVarsity team was as follows:\nWhitelaw, McConnachie, Sanderson,\nSmith, Agnew, Macdonald, Goumeniouk, Wood, Rennie, Douglas, McMullen, Madeley, Colthurst, and\nManager George Armstrong.\nThe Senior B BaSketballers had\nhard luck in their last game when\nthey dropped a close contest to Spencers after an overtime. It was anybody's game up to the last few seconds, and the full-time score was 23-23.\nGeorge Mckee an! Kay Spence, mainstays of the team, both failed to make\na basket.\nThe game was a ding-dong affair\nfrom the opening whistle, first one\nteam scoring and then the other.\nHowie Sutton whs going great guns\nin the first half, and at half-time\nthe score was 14-10 for Varsity. The\nStudents held the edge of the play\nduring this period.\nSpencers dominated play more ln\nthe second half, and only a strong\nVarsity defence prevented a straight\nwin. Early In the second half Varsity was ahead 20-10, but they faded\nrapidly after that and at full time\nthe score1 stood at 23-23. Spencen\nmade the odd point in the overtime,\nand Varsity had dropped another.\nSutton and Little showed up best\nfor Varsity. This loss leaves Varsity\nwithout a chanse to get in the playoffs.\nLine-up: Sutton 10, Pamore 6, Little 4, Spence 1, McKee 1, Phillips 1,\nHarper.
