XIV VANCOUVER, B.C., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1932 No. 33 Extraordinary A.M.S. Meeting to Discuss Eligibility System New Standard to be Set for Inter-Collegiate and all Athletic Contests. Literary Also to be Controlled by New Rules. ■ Eligibility, that bug-bear of athletics, will be the subject under discussion at the extra-ordinary meeting of the Alma Mater Society meeting to be held Friday noon. What is commonly known as fhae) "point system" of eligibility has been evolved, but one member of council Is of the opinion that the regulations have been drawn up with the idea of favoring one particular sport The rules were drawn up by a special committee from the Men's Athletic Executive and were passed unanimously by that body. As the motion called for a revision of one by-law of the constitution, Students' Council did not consider the matter formally. Hence the A.M.S. meeting. The new system provides for all activities under the jurisdiction of the vAlma Mater society. That is, it covers men's and women's athletics, ond all activities under the scope of the Literary and Scientific executive. The idea is this: when the new council Is elected, one of their first jobs is to be the appointment of a points committee. The duties of this committee shall be to assign to each and every acivlty. Although no provision is made that nothing shall be rated at more than en points, it is generally conceded that ten points is the maximum. Any student, whether attending the University for the first time or not, is to be allowed to participate in extra-curricular activities up to a maximum of ten points regardless of his scholastic standing. If a student wishes to take part to a greater extent he must have a good and complete standing. Between ten and fifteen points, the student must have over fifty percent, fifteen to twenty points of activities necessitates an average of over sixty percent, and twenty to twenty-five over sixty-five percent, and twenty-five points Is the maximum. All these marks are referred to as "last available marks." That Is to say, unless midterms In all a student's courses are given, he can not be excluded for failures. The main trouble that has developed, seems to be the disparagement between the present system of eligibility in force and the set of rules enforced by the W.C.I.A.U. with which is affiliated the M.A.A. of this University. Advocates of the point system state that as long as fifty-percent rules are in force here, weaker teams will be representing this institution, than will represent other universities, because the W.C.I.A.U. rules call for a pass in two-thirds of a student's previous year's courses. There is also considerable dissatisfaction rife in athletic circles concerning the way the eligibility rules and the non-outside participation regulation, can combine to stop a student completely from participation In any sport whatsoever. It is claimed that this is totally unfair, both to the individual and to the sport ln which he Is taking part. The ten-point system outlined in this story Is modeled on the one at present In force In Oregon universities, and provides for a proper registration and classification of all students enjoying participation in any activity. The final responsibility for keeping this registration up to date rests with the president of the organization concerned. Receives Gift PROFESSOR F. G. C. WOOD For fifteen years Professor Wood has guided the destinies of the Play era Club, in his capacity of Director and Honorary President. Coming to the Players Club when it was in its infancy. Prof. Wood, by his untiring efforts, has made possible much of the success that the Club has met with in recent years. Members of the Players Club recently presented Professor Wood with a silver tray, in appreciation of his untiring services. Committee Will Report Decision To Senate Soon At thc first meeting of tho Special Committee appointed by the Senate to report on the resolutions passed by the Board of Governors at their meeting, February 8th, Dr. W. B. Burnett was chosen Chairman and Prof. H, F. Angus, Secretary. The Governors made the following resolutions at their meeting of February 8, and it is the purpose of the committee to report on them to the Senate, Wednesday night: "That in the opinion of the Board funds be allocated to the Faculties of Agriculture, Arts and Science and Applied Science as follows: First—That student fees be credited to the respective Faculties in which they register. Second: That after deducting the Musical Requests To Be Big Feature Of Leap Year Fete Harold King's orchestra will feature an all-request program at the fifth annual Co-ed Ball, when the Womens Undergraduate Society entertains to provide funds for the erection of a Women's Union Building on the campus. The function takes place in the Auditorium on Georgia street on leap- year day, February 29, from 9-1. All requests are to be turned in to the Publications Office not later than 3 p.m. Wednesday, and the entire program will be selected from these request numbers. This should assure a peppier program than usual for this year's effort. After the recommendation that no public parties be held, numerous private parties, both before and after the dance are being arranged. These will take the form of dinner parties, and after-the-ball suppers and dances. Rumour has it that Council will hold their weekly meeting on the usual Monday night, despite the Co-ed Ball. There seems to be enough of the august executive left for a quorum. Council seems to be luckier in its own meetings than in Alma Mater meetings. Originality In sports costumes ia RUSSIAN LIFE DISCUSSED BY LR.C.SPEAKER Miss Moran entertained the Inter- nation Relations Club with a talk, and led discussion on .Russia, at a meeting of the society held at the home of Margaret Black, Thursday, February 18. Miss Moran expressed the belief that there is much hope for Russian society. The abandoned palaces have not been harmed and the traveller may still see the luxury of the old regime. Moscow still has her art, her opera and her theatrical masterpieces. The cities overflow with people from the country. Congested traffic, huge street crowds and Jammed apartment houses show the concentration of effort on industry Instead of the devlopment of home and public utilities. Oood, but plain food, is cheap and easy to get. The Young Communists are Intelligent and democratic, with a wonderful interest in their country. They have made the government strong and effective. Woman's place in Russia is decidedly improved. Every woman works and participates ln everything receiving equal wages with men. Children are left at a community nursing centre while their mothers are at a factory. Hospitals are rough but well-supported and the medical attention is free. Surgery is of the best. Factories are also connected with Prison-houses where the inmates are put to work. These prisoners are cheerful and talkative. They receive wages and educational advan- wages, but the political prisoner Is severely dealt with, usually receiving corporal punishment. Because Russia Is afraid of blockade and war, she is thoroughly prepared for both. Everywhere there is a spirit of Independence and a readiness to fight for her ideals. Many interesting points were mentioned when the meeting was thrown open for discussion. Players' Club Presents Gift To Professor Professor F. O. C. Wood, Former Director and Honorary President of Players Club, Receives Token of Appreciation Terrible Toils Trail Troubled Totem Editors BY LEONA NELSON. Many good yarns have arisen out of the recent student publicity campaign, but if someone ventured to whisper that as good a story could develop in the insignificant office of the Totem everybody would laugh. Well, read thls:- The first unpleasant task of one of the assistants was to telephone the homes of all those students who had neglected to have their pictures taken. At some of the homes the students in question were there, but in others their mothers or fathers answered the phone. One poor woman said that she had done everything in her power to make her son have his picture taken, but he would not go down to the studio. I relate this incident as a rare experience because, according to our records, the flirst students to go down to the studio were the men. However, to get on with my story, I looked down my list, and discovered that I was tn call up a person called "Alvah." My first worry was to the sex I adopted an Ingenious method of getting around the problem. (Meek voice): 'Is Alvah at home, please?" (A woman at the other end):'No, Alvah isn't home now." (Persisting in saying Alvah): promised, judging from conversations overheard In the cafeteria and busses. Tricky skirts and blazers, and knitted 'When will Alvah be home?" ensembles seem to be the general (Woman, becoming angry): "My choice for the women, while the men husband Is the principal of a city are considering golf togs and flannels. Kaleioscopic colours are probable. Tickets have been selling like the proverbial hotcake, but a speed-up is expected despite the depression. cost of administration, the balance of the Government grant be divided equally between the respective Faculties. Third: That this resolution be communicated with the Senate. The Committee appointed to report on these resolutions has been meeting every .evening anywhere from two to four hours, and its report will be handed to the Senate on Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. Cheques from the Book Exchange must be called for by Thursday noon. The Exchange will be closed after that date until the conclusion of spring exams. About a hundred cheques have yet to be claimed. school—you will be able to see him there at four o'clock." The woman was undoubtedly angry, but the hysterical inquisitor began to giggle. After making enquiries some time later as to the past life of friend Alvah she discovered: (1) Alvah is a middle-aged man. (2) Alvah has a wife and family. Imagine Mrs. Alvah's thoughts when an impertinent young assistant insisted on speaking to Alvah. Now for some news of what has been going on for the past month In tho Totem office. Monthly bridge; yes, but not participated in by the Totem office. They are not committing themselves. This year the 3taff decided to introduce some color into the annual. Two splendid ideas were born, But on account of the depression, cut, etc., we cannot carry them both through. Those of you who bought a last year's annual will remember the frontispiece—a bird's-eye view of the campus. The new idea was to have the same picture, but to "To F. O. C. 'Freddie' Wood from the members of the Players Club of the University of British Columbia hi appreciation of his 18 years invaluable service as Director and Honorary President." Thia Inscription surmounted by the University crest, and dated February 21, 1932, wu engraved on a large Stirling tray presented to Professor Wood by all the members, past as well as active, of the University Players' Club. A tea held last Sunday at the home of the President, Alice Morrow, culminated several months planning on the part ot the executive whereby some official recognition of Professor Wood's work might be expressed. Messages of congratulations and good-will came from all parts of the globe, including England, Mexico, and China. In a brief speech, the President intimated the value of the Professor's accomplishments and took pleasure in presenting i token of appreciation. Professor Wood replied, in what he called "His last thank-you speech to the Players' Club" with very evident sincerity and graceful adequacy. He pointed out that he left the club not without some regret, and many pleasant memories both of tour and of the founding of the club. He lauded the members of the first Players' Club executive, which with him, had the audacity to hire a down-town theatre, and put on the first Spring Play, during the middle of the World War, and had their efforts rewarded by a net profit of $167.50. He said that the club was very grateful for the valuable assistance rendered during Its rise by the cooperation of Dr. Ashton, Dr. Clark, Dr. Larsen, and Dr. Walker (the ptesent honorary president). He expressed his belief that the club had reached a very high standard of excellence, and voiced his hope that It would endeavor to maintain that standard. Among those present at the reception were two members' of the original executive, Mrs. James Lawrence, and Patrick Fraser. Other early members present included Mrs. Earnest Rogers, Mrs. Gordon Shrum. It was largely through the efforts of Professor Wood that the University now has a good auditorium. The Players' Club has bought over $2000 worth of equipment for the stage, including the background curtains, and all the electrical equipment, and a permanent plaster cyclorama screen. The screen is a valuable asset and when built was the only one of Its kind In Canada. Not only this, but the Players' Club paid for most of the cost of building the University Tennis Courts, and during the war was of very material assistance to the Red Crow. B.C.E.R. POWER DEPT. DEVELOPS NEW HOT-BEDS Some time last term, the Ubyssey received a news clipping from California on the value of electric hotbeds In agriculture. It is Interesting now to note that the light and power department of the B.C. Electric Railway Company has just carried out the installation of an electric hot-bed in the grounds of one of the most prominent commercial garden produce growers of the city. A great deal of experimental work has been done in recent years using electric -heat for hot-beds. This form of heat has many Inherent advantages over the old method. The apparatus is quickly and easily Installed, and the hot-beds can be turned off and on depending on the outside weather conditions. The electric hot-bed is very flexible. The gardener can iorce or retard growth at will, thereby fixing with greater accuracy the time of field planting. By simply shutting off the current the bed can be used as a cold frame. The equipment may be used for several years, and can be put into operation any time by merely turning a switch. Automatic control can readily be used to keep the soil at any predetermined temperature, all these advantages improving working conditions and reducing operating costs. Some idea of the importance of this development can be gained from figures supplied by the Provincial Department of Agriculture, Hortl cultural Branch. The annual value of greenhouse products ln British Columbia Is over $6,900,000. Of this amount the lower mainland produces $2,990,000 and Vancouver Island is 3,790,000 square feet. COMING EVENTS Friday, 3 p.m.—Upper Playing Field: Annual Inter-College Soccer Match, Union College vs. Anglican College. Sunday, Feb. 21, 7:30 p.m.—V.C.U. Church Service at Grandview Baptist THESPIANS EXPECT FULL ATTENDANCE F0RJARRIE PLAY Tickets for the Players' Club Spring Play, scheduled for March 9-13 may now be obtained from any member of the club. Archie Dick, business manager, expects a complete sell-out in view of the fact that the play, "Alice-sit-by-the-fire" is written by Sir James M. Barrie, and that three members of the cast have one Spring performance to their credit already. Anyone who has seen "Dear Brutus" or "Quality Street," cannot fall to appreciate Barrie's interesting style, and this play is no exception with its entertaining manners. The quality of the play Is alao attested by the number of famous actresses who have played its title role, among them being Ellen Terry and Ethel Barrymore. A feature ef the play thia year la that it will be done in the costumes and furnishings of London of 1903. The costumes and scenery committees are paying very close attention to this phase of the play, and have taken great pains to become well acquainted with the minutest details of the fashions of that period. It la expected that this feaure will create an especial curiosity for the students most of whom will not remember what their mothers and fathers, were wearing in 1903. The director, Sidney Risk, reports that the cast are now rapidly near- ing perfection. He expects to have no difficulty with any defects during the.next week because three of the cast, namely Midge Ellis, Nancy Symes, and Jack Ruttan were in the Spring play last year, and competition for the other roles has been exceptionally keen. The first dress-rehearsal will be very soon, and the first public performance will be In New Westminster, Match 2- After thia experience the actors should be In good shape for e^* first night In . Vancouver, Japan and League Subject of Debate At Forum Tonight The regular meeting of the Parliamentary Forum will be held tonight at 7:30 p.m., in Arts 100. The subject of the evening's debate is "Resolved that the present Sino-Japanese situation demonstrates the futility of the principles on which the League of Nations is founded." The consideration of a subject of such importance at the present time promises a hot debate. George Dolsen will lead the government party which comes into power again after two months in the wilderness of the opposition. Andrew Guthrie and Vic Dryer will lead the late government in an effort to gain revenge for the last two defeats. Prof. Day will again act as Speaker. All students interested are cordially invited to attend. Tryouts for the Williamette debate will also be held. This event is sched- (Please turn to page three) have it colored.

'Pinafore' Success Predicted; Opera To Run Four Days Entire Cast Work Hard Putting Finishing Touches to One of Most Delightful of Gilbert and Sullivan's Operas After putting the last finishing touches to their Gilbert and Sullivan opera "H.M.S. Pinafore" in the dress rehearsals, the Musical Society presents their second production from the pen of those famous men. The curtain rises at 8:20 Wednesday for the first time, but four performances are scheduled. The rough corners have been rounded off, and a polished performance is expected. Rehearsals have been almost dally since the beginning of the year, and stage work has been done steadily since the 27th of January, when Edgar Smith, dramatic director, took charge. The opera is being staged exactly as the D'Oyley Carte Opera Company do it. Costumes, chorus and all will be as nearly as possible a replica of the way these world-famous opera players have shown Pinafore all over the world. The scene of the opera is set on the deck of H.M.S. Pinafore. The Captain's daughter, Josephine, is in love with a sailor on her father's ship. Her father, however, will not consider giving his consent to a marriage with a "common tar," and wishes her to be bethrothed to Sir Joseph Porter, Admiral of the fleet. The situation is cleared up through the agency of an old woman, Mrs. Gripps, former nurse to both the captain and Ralph Rack- straw, the sailor, when she confesses that she changed the two infants, and that tho captain is in reality a common sailor, while Ralph should be the captain. Josephine marries Ralph and he takes command of the ship in a characteristic Gilbert and Sullivan denouement. Josephine, the demure daughter of j the captain is being played by Alice Rowe. The part of the Captain is taken by Bob Harcourt who is new to the society this year. Bob Brooks who will be remembered as the Major General of last year's "Pirates of Penzance," will play the haughty and pompous Sir Joseph. Another newcomer to the Club is Neil Perry who appears as Ralph. The comic element is supplied by Nelson Allen as Dick Deadeye. Allen can almost be classed aa a veteran of the society. H, M. S. Pinafore contains many beautiful solos and a great deal of effective choral work. The production of the Musical Society,promises to be a creditable and finished performance. Musical Director C. HADYN WILLIAMS Mr. Williams has been the conductor of the Musical Society for some years, and has done a great deal to bring the society to its present high standard. He is directing the choral and orchestral work for "H.M.S. Pinafore." Page Two THE UBYSSEY Tuesday, February 23,1932 fthr Xfagurg (Member P.I.P.A.) Phone: PT.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1932 THAT HAPPY MEDIUM The complicated question of eligibility ig to be considered once more and a special Alma Mater meeting has been called for next Friday for the purpose of submitting the matter to the student body. A group of students has presented a document setting forth a point basis for eligibility. As this new system stands at the present time the whole power of deciding who is eligible for the various activities rests with Students' Council. A great deal of discussion has been rife of late concerning eligibility and it would be foolish to deny that it has been the application of the existing rules which has caused the matter to be brought forward once again. It seems a pity that the students or their representatives cannot decide definitely what they want in this direction but of course if the rules really are unsatisfactory as they stand at present it is right that they should be changed and it is to be hoped that what is decided this year will not be found unreasonable next. The real point at issue appears to be whether or not a student should be allowed to take part in one major activity regardless of his or her academic standing. There can be no doubt that extra curricular activities form an essential part of a college education. Therefore if a student has the necessary qualifications to attend university he should be allowed and be capable of taking part in such activities. If the University authorities consider that the student is worth keeping at the institution he has every right to share in the opportunities which it offers and because his academic standing may suffer to a small degree, is no reason for arguing that he should confine his attention solely to his curricular work. However, in this as in all things it is probable that there is a happy medium. There are certain "major" activities on the campus which a student whose standing was anything less than second class could not possibly handle without almost certain loss of his year. It is obvious therefore that the greatest care should be exercised in determining what is a major activity for the purpose of eligibility. Whether or not playing on the first team of a major sport requires so much time that it will entirely destroy the balance between curricular and extra-curricular activity is difficult to say; only those who have taken part in such competition are qualified to judge. The Ubyssey believes that every student who has the standing necessary to remain at college should be given the privilege of taking part in some form of outside pursuit regardless of his or her standing. It further believes that there are certain activities on the campus which are altogether too much for a student of low academic standing and eligibility rules should be formulated which will prevent such students from participating in these activities. The point system which has been suggested would seem to make possible a correct determination of the relative values and sacrifices incurred by various activities. Only time can tell whether any committee of students is capable of efficiently allotting points to the different pursuits. BRAINS VERSUS BEAUTY Nominations for the position of President of the Alma Mater Society are to be submitted by Monday, February 29. It is always interesting to see the outcome of student elections, for on a small scale they are as rife with prejudice and thoughtlessness as the elections of a national state. The prejudice, be it said, is most often on the part of the voters who find in a popular, confident, smooth-tongued candidate all those superior qualities and characteristics supposed to mark the leader. The fact that everybody knows him, that he has had some executive experience, that he "knows the ropes," cannot be taken as proof conclusive of his real ability to handle a position of responsibility second to none other on the campus. The President of the Alma Mater Society need not be the man everybody knows. A while ago I said that students hoped the whole University would stand together in this j period of crisis. That hope has now been dissipated. A prominent senator Comments, and has criticised the faculty of A Sermon Agriculture and the govern ing bodies of the University. Students who have been watching the situation closely had expected an outburst from some quarter. The reaction to Dr. Vance's speech, as far as I have been able to gather, is that, whether the criticisms were wise or unwise at this time, it is a relief to hear one of the authorities speak frankly and boldly about the University. I leave it to the editors to comment on the speech as a whole (unless they choose to close their eyes to it), and will confine myself to discussing two or three points . Dr. Vance said the cut has wrecked the esprit de corps of the faculty. If that be true, then there must have been precious little esprit de corps to wreck. How much esprit is there in an esprit de corps that melts away so quickly in the face of difficulty? Dr. Vance added that no self-respecting man will stay if he can get another position. It seems to me a strange kind of self-respect that would make a man desert U.B.C. at this time for the sake of a higher salary. Student officials know only too well the difficulty of obtaining satisfactory information about University finances. In the city and province, as well as on the campus, a complete and detailed investigation of the whole matter would be welcomed. "The University needs leadership, organizing ability, policy, inspiration and unity," declared Dr. Vance. There is an appalling lack of these things everywhere today. Of temporizers, reactionaries, dictators and would-be dictators, of little men with big voices, of opportunists and charlatans, there is no lack, but, in all the capitalist world, what men are there willing to meet the present problems boldly and progressively? To my mind, a true leader has one aim— the welfare of the people. He must not follow bewildered "public opinion," but lead it; he must not wallow in party politics; he must be above all hint of pettiness, corruption, and private gain. His task is to preach a gospel, to set forth social ideals and work sternly for them; he must be plain-spoken and bold—a man for whom men of good-will will work, a man whom the people will follow; an inspirational leader, yet one who can produce results. He must be a man of education, of foresight, of broad humanity, free from the conventions, ties and bias of any circle, and devoted solely to the interests of society. Examine the records, motives, ideals of our "leaders." However well-intentioned, they fall short of real greatness. Mahatma Gandhi, imprisoned in India, ridiculed by the world, is the nearest approach to an inspirational leader that there is today. How is the present crisis being met? What measures have been taken that are more than palliative? "Economy" is the watchword: at the command of financiers, governments and private businesses reduce expenditures, discharge employees. How does this help, from the point of view of society? The people's'bur- den increases, yet they have little control of the financial machine. Society is not organized. It has muddled through before, and is expected to do so again. In Britain, Ramsay MacDonald found the task of social leadership too great. He backed down and let the people be bally-hooed into reaction, and it is now hoped that business can be artificially stimulated into prosperity. In the United States, He may find it easier to steer a just and even course if he isn't quite so much the friend of a dozen different factions. On the other hand he must be a man who has some knowledge of a serviceable kind of the inner mechanism of the University, and of student activities in particular. Of course, if a candidate's popularity is really the reward of long and painstaking service in the interests of Varsity, if his experience is of the kind likely to be of use in his new position, if he is known to have tact as well as discretion, he may with justice be regarded as a likely man for the position. Nor is it always to be a maxim that the man with a year's experience on Council is invariably the best one for the position of A. M. S. candidate. The justice of this statement will itself preclude any intimation that the Ubyssey is a partisan of any candidate. It is a fact that there are a number of men on the campus who never held places on Council, but who are undeniably well-equipped to compete with the more experienced men. Should some of these consider running for the position it is at least fair to say that their innate ability should in no way be disparaged because their opponents may have been members of Council. Correspondence PROS AND CONS? Editor, Ubyssey, Dear Sir: While not questioning the wisdom of the Co-eds in deciding not to have supper parties at their annual dance, allow me to point out a few objec- tllns, which, I hope, may influence them the next time they have this decision to make. It is a sad thing to have to drive straight home after such an affair. It leaves me, personally, in a dissatisfied state of mind. I find It impossible to get back to work the next morning. And I might also state that on Tuesday I have a very important Chem. Lab., which demands close attention, and an untroubled mind. Nor is that all. Far from it. I do not know the reasons for this decision, but I imagine that the present depression has something to do with it. I hardly think that is fair. For do not the men of the Varaity take their partners to supper after the Formals of the year? And does this not happen three times to the Co-eds' one? Surely, If we can afford it three times, they can afford it once. I have also heard a person stating that the appearance of Varsity women in public places after one o'clock would give an unfavorable impression of Varsity's social functions. To that I can only reply that anybody that is up and (of necessity) dining and dancing at such an hour are not the people to point the finger of shame at us. I am not accustomed to writing letters which will appear in print, so I find difficulty ln expressing myself clearly. What I am trying to point out Is that the people who object to us being ln evidence at such a time should themselves be In bed. If they are In bed, they will know nothing anyway of our nocturnal and pre- matutinal excursions. I realize that you, Mr. Editor, cannot afford me much more space, ao I will conclude by suggesting that the refreshment one receives at these dances (not, of course, this one in particular) is hardly suitable to support a strong man after the exertion of dancing all evening. I mean to say, there aren't enough calories, what? Yours very faithfully, ONE WHO HAS STOPPED, LOOKED AND LISTENED. • * • Editor Ubyssey, Dear Sir: Allow, me to put forward some suggestions through the medium of your valuable paper. When revenue to the University from the government is falling off at a tremendous rate, one way of cutting down the cost of higher education would be to exclude women from the University. After all It is generally the man's job to support women and men need a University education more for that reason than do women. What help is a degree when you are washing dishes? What help is a degree when you are scrubbing floors? I should Imagine four years at college would be a hindrance rather than a help to marital bliss. The cultivation of expensive tastes so common among the women of this University in particular, is hardly conductive to easy economy even in the girls' own families in such a time of low income as exists at present. Besides women are a distracting influence. Class parties and other dances occupy far too much of the average student's time. If there were no women on the campus such would not be the case. While I am on the subject of women, let me express an opinion about the Co-ed Ball. Such a reversal of the ordinary state of affairs cannot but result in the breaking down of morale and the engendering of moral turpitude in an institution which should be free from taint.

GUIDE CLUB Mrs. Moxon, Point Grey Divisional Commissioner, spoke on the value of camp in a Guide's life and the Guiders' duties at camp, at the meeting of the club held Thursday, January 18, at the home of Jean Witbeck. She stressed the fact that Guiding in its best aspects is carried on in the out-of-doors, and that camp affords an opportunity to study and observe nature first-hand, demands co-operation among the girls, and develops character.

Mimeographing — Multigraphlng "I Make a Good Essay * * " tens of millions are suffering, but the state continues to evade its responsibilities, preferring the dubious expedient of a hefty hypodermic injection into the hardening financial arteries, rather than an intelligent effort to deal with the root of the trouble. Why do we lack great leaders? Several influences are hindering their development. Private profit is the chief and often the only motive of most of us. The normal-complex induced by the zeal of modern psychologists makes people afraid of being considered abnormal, yet a great leader would have to dare the devastating analysis of our psychological sages. Athletics, organized, financed and propagandized as never before, exalted above their real and considerable importance, distract and deflect people from the intellectual and the "spiritual." The stage and screen, concerned chiefly with absurdities, monstrosities and sex, work powerfully to the same end. Sex-consciousness and sex-interest are catered to and developed inordinately, at the expense of a sensible attitude and other interests—such as an interest in social progress. The popular ideal of "the all-round man" does not encourage the development of leaders. Few can be "all- round" and rise above the mediocre: the great man must break away and devote himself to his work. And lastly: sometimes churchmen speak on current affairs, but it is considered improper for them to take part in shaping current events. If men of this type would forego dogmatic theology and take their faith and inspiration into the council chambers of the people, they would do more for mankind than by retiring to churches, there to fan the flames of a dying religion. The social precepts of Christ are of universal significance and importance: the task of the great leader is to present the vitality of these teachings to the blase masses, and to lead the way to a society that is Christian in practice as well as in theory.

BANKERS TO THE ALMA MATER SOCIETY C. R. Myers, Manager The Fishsoup Mystery By M. E. This mystery has been baffling everybody Including the author, but he has at last got It straightened out and submits the last Instalment. CHAPTER MIL Blowout peered through the door and saw Medley talking to Chang Suey. He reached for a mucky and in his eagerness, he upset an armoured knight as well aa our plans. ■ Chang spun round on his heel andj-Don't let your baby get cold feet. Don't forget to tell her this is Leap Year and that Leap Year comes but once in four. After you have tried everything else and you are still waiting for the question, inform her that you may be going to the Co-ed with someone else. I will admit you are treading on risky ground when you do this, but it is your last chance. If it doesn't get you anywhere you may consider yourself a hope- took In the situation at a glance. "Ah, Messrs. Blowout and Scribblewell, you have come," he burbled in his quaint accent. "In the name of the law, I arrest you, Chang Suey," answered Blowout as he reached for a pair of cuff-links. "One moment, please," interrupted the Chinaman, "I have something to tell you. The instant you lay hands on me you will be blown sky-high." And with a sweep of his arm he pointed to a crouching form hiding behind a typewriter. "That is not a typewriter," explained Chang Suey, "it is—it ia—It la—It Is, well I must say that is funny, I've forgotten the name." "Never mind that," blew Blowout, "Who killed Freddie Fishsoup?" "Never mind Fishsoup," countered Mr. Suey, "your doom is sealed. At tho stroke of the musical note, you will be blown up. The—er—typewriter will not fall me." And he disappeared through a hole in the wall. "Get him," yelled Blowout, and Medley leapt through the gaping hole and disappeared ln the darkness. I turned to the typewriter and began edging my way towards It. The crouching form behind the machine quivered, raised both its hands and then f,tood up. "I didn't mean anything, I was only playing," is gasped. I recog- nixed the voice. So did Blowout. It was Three Gun Pete. "What is that typewriter for?" queried the detective. "Suey was only bluffing you. It won't blow you up. It's the crime- wave machine. It won't work anymore. The carburetor is plugged and It won't wind up." "Go on, go on," we prompted. "I will, I will," answered Three Gun. "Chang has had me in his power for months. I killed Fishsoup. But the crime-machine is broken new. Chang Suey turned it on me and then told me to kill Fishsoup." "But why," we asked. "Because-er-because Fishsoup chewed gum In the library, snored in lectures, kept his spoon In his coffee and whistled •Pinafore" tunes on the bus. Oh yes, and he was a fratman." "This Indeed Is a revolution," I exclaimed. "You mean a revelation," corrected Three Gun. "I hear Medley returning," Interrupted Blowout. "Will Chang Suey be with him?" The returning footprints grew louder and louder. And still they grew louder. Surely Sin j in should appear. But no; The footsteps now sounded like a throbbing drum beat on Afrlc's shunny sore. And then the dull pulsating throb changed to a pie-hitched, high- pitched, I mean, double-back action, self adjusting scream. Then Freddie Fishsoup turned over and shut off his "Wake you gently" alarm clock and crawled out of bed. And he doesn't chew gum in the library any more. And he doesn't snore In lectures, keep his spoon in his coffee or whistle "Pinafore" in the bus. Ed. note: We know this is a weekend but M.

I am in receipt of over thirty letters, from Artsmen, Aggies, Scienemen, and even one from a co-ed. Last week I recommended taking your baby to the Shakespearian plays. I will take it for granted that you have already done that. Your next step is to take her to tea in the caf., but be careful what you feed her. A baby's food before the Co-ed is always a problem. I would suggest somehtlng hot. Let her drink from the bottle freely this week. There are also some things you must remember not to do. less case. My first letter reads: Dear Mr. M. E.: I have followed your advice regarding the Co-ed, and I think 1 am progressing favorably. I have already taken her to the Shakesperlan plays and also to the Canadian Bakeries Ltd., where I covered her with flour sis you said. I bought her a pound of dates and told her that she could give me something In return—She sure can kick and scratch. I told her that you said she was to take me to the Co-ed and that you were always right and that you were going to be there with Alice- slt-by-the-fire who was an Indian princess and besides she had never taken me out anywhere and anyway I was tired of being broke all the time and that it was time that the woman paid. Say what kind of a time Is tills anyway? Well here I am and she's mad at me. Do you think she'll take me to the Co-ed? While awaiting your reply may you receive the sincere thanks of "One who is eternally broke," Willie slt-by-the-furnace. • «-■ • You are getting along splendidly Willie. Although you missed the suggestion about covering her with "flowers," I believe you meant well at heart. The date idea was good and should bring results. If it doesn't give her a bag of lemons. • • • You shouldn't tell lies about Alice- sir-by-the-flre and myself. I am not going to the Co-ed with her. Alice (1 call her Alice for short) says I am too good for her and she vill not stand ln my way Instead she sits by the fire. That's the way to have them trained, Willie. More power to you, Willie slt-by- the-furnace. Get hot! Dear Sir or Madam, (as the case may be): At a time like the present your new 'column comes as a welcome aid. I have been truly worried as to my technique and now you have vindicated my methods with your sanction. That Is all but the part about being sorry there were to be no shows on February 29. I thought about that but decided it was too risky. After all, you know, all the regular shows are going on that day. I decided to mention that I was sorry there were no decent shows on February 29. Do you think that would do? I would like a Uttle advice on whether I am allowed to put my arm around her. Shouldn't she make all the advances? And what should I order afterwards. Last year I asked for a planked steak rare, and a double order of French-fried, but when it came she ate half of it— v.'hat should I do to stop that? Do you think I should drop any hints as to what flowers would go well with my swell new shirt that I'm buying specially for the occas- YOUR BABY AND MINE ion? Don't you think aspidistras are nice? I don't know what they look like, but the name sounds so aristocratic. I'm just dying to get your answers to all these questions. And how's Ethel? Yours in anticipation, "Puzzled" • • • "Puzzled" did right in telling his baby there were no decent shows on the twenty-ninth. Martin Harvey is playing at the Vancouver that week. Yes, you may put your arm around her (if you can get it around). • • • Should she make all the advances? Certainly not. If the mountain won't go to Mohamet, Mohamet must go to the mountain. You say she eats half your supper. Evidently you can't eat fast enough. • • • And you want flowers for a new shirt you are going to buy. (Will ycu lend me your old one)? Aspidistras are nice, all right, but she'd have quite a time getting them unless she knows how to pronounce the name. The season is a bit too early for dandelions but I believe those would go best with your new shirt. « * » And about "How's Ethel," manger own business. Dear Mr. M. E.: If you must be free with your advice to college men (?) that want bids to the Co-ed, why not make it good? For one thing, the best way to interest a girl at Varsity is to write her essay for her. (I have five essays due now). And another Good Thing is to take her to the C 0. T. C. Ball. It's rather suggestive, If you see what I mean. But the best way to get a bid to the Co-ed is to suggest that you go Dutch. And if that doesn't get a bid, nothing will. Anything else you'd like to know? ONE OF THE BABIES • * * Glad to hear from you, Baby. I'll bo In the north whig of the Library tomorrow afternoon to write those essays for you. You can go Dutch to the Co-ed but I'll go crazy first. Incidentally, the C. O. T. C. affair is after the Co-ed but I guess I can make It. Japan and League Subject of Debate At Forum Tonight (Continued from Page One.) uled for March 2nd and the subject, "Resolved that Congress should adopt legislation providing for the centralized control of industry," will give an excellent opportunity for budding capitalists and socialists to exchange verbal blows. The U.B.C. team willj uphold the affirmative and will consist of men picked from the Forum. Vic Dryer, Neil Perry and Harold Brown are some of the leading candidates for the team. The subject has already been debated In the Forum resulting In a defeat of the government upholding the negative. The constitutionality of the question is waived, consequently preventing any quibbling over the political practicability of the question. The standard of debating on the campus seems to be on the upgrade if the results of the Inter-collegiate debates are any Indication. Both teams lost by very narrow margins and the possibilities of victory over William- ette seem excellent.

Theatre Review "THE SLIPPER HANGS LOOSE" A Play by Sophipides, in Collaboration with George Bernard Ibsen This is a delightfully intimate little story, In the modern risque manner, of the Love-Life of A Garbage Man. The Garbage Man, Algernon Percy Wistlewaite, is, of course, the leading man. So many of the modern plays ot this type have involved a Third Woman, that it ia very refreshing to find here a story of a man who loved only one woman. What if she was a wife? She was hla wife. There are some gorgeous settings ln the play. The street scene, in Act 1, is simply magnificent. The Incinerator in the background lends reality to the scenery. The street itself reminds one of the watery Highways of Venice, under the moonlight. One thinks of the gondola's meter gently, almost shyly, ticking out its inexorable fifty cents an hour. The costumes in the Garbage Men's Annual Ball scene are enough to turn any Parisian dressmaker's head. Yards and yards of silks and satins rub elbows with quarts and quarts of diamonds, emerald and ruby gems. These, by the way, are genuine, or so their press-agent told me. The play is outstanding for its skillful direction, Its exquisite acting, Its richness of diction and language, and for its fresh, delicate plot. * • • Reviewers Note: We had to give this show a good write-up, because the company gave us free tickets. Really, though, the play is one of the most unholy collections of pure, unadulterated bilge that it has ever been my fate to have to listen to. I'm so mad I even went and finished my last sentence with a preposition, and I don't even care. The leading man is an illiterate, uncultivated, unintelligent boor. He can't even think, he can't imitate the outward semblance of all that's good In a Garbage Man.

SUPPORT FROM THE EAST In an editorial entitled "University Conscious," the U. of Western Ontario ably supports universities in general and U.B.C. in particular. After reviewing the situation here, the article continues, quoting General Sir Arthur Currie: "There was never a time in the world's history when the contribution of the university to the community and to the nation was as great or as necessary as it is today. Our days are days of perplexity; hysteria and confusion of mind." Besides transmitting the best thinking of one generation to the next, the university makes innumerable material contributions which are greater in communities where the institution exists. In these times of financial stringency, it is necessary for every business man to make certain savings in those departments that are not absolutely essential to the continuance of operations. "This hurts me worse than you" is probably the sentiment expressed by the B.C. government regarding the cut of $230,000. \\ Do the people of British Columbia really appreciate their university? Evidently they consider it of secondary Importance—something to be reduced, to decrease the "overhead" expense of the province. We wish the U.B.C. students Im best of luck in their efforts to convince the legislators that now, more than ever before, the university can serve the community. The "intellectual muscle" of youth Is needed to solve present day problems. It should not be discouraged. The University of Western Ontario seems to have sized the situation up to a nicety, and we take this opportunity of thanking the "Gazette" for its noble support. What is your favorite dance number?

SEY. 5737 Page Four THE UBYSSEY Tuesday, February 23,1932 CAMPUS SPORTS SOCCERMEN ABSORB 1-0 LOSS AGAIN Varsity saw the last of their chance to win the Iroquois Cup when the Senior Soccermen took a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Point Grey United, at Kerrisdale Park Saturday. / The game Illustrated once more that the team's great fault ia inability to Mite opportunities. Equal to their opponents in defence and mid- field play, they failed to make good their openings, and paid the penalty. For the first fifteen minutes of the game, Varsity penned the "Greys" in their own half of the field, and did everything but score. The Point Grey custodian waa called on to save from almost every member of (he forward line, while Kozoolin skimmed the bar with an effort from outside the penalty area. Munday almost succeeded in converting two of several well placed corners, heading over the bar from close range. However, Point Grey staved off disaster until they found their feet, and Varsity's chance was gone. Point Grey finally managed to reach Varsity area, and from then on the game was even. Finally, in a scrimmage in the Varsity goalmouth, a penalty was awarded to the "Greys." Frattinger was on the job, however, and pulled down the Keddie's drive under the bar. Play ranged quickly from end to end, and after a nice bit of combination by Kozoolin and Dave Todd had failed, the suburbanites returned to the other end to score the first goal through Keddie. It was a first time effort through the corner, and gave Frattinger no chance. It was the only goal of the game. The struggle now produced some very good football, and was very fast. McGill and Grant were a sure defence, while Varsity's attacks, although often penetrating the penalty area, brought no results. At half-time the score was 1-0 for the United,. After the Interval Varsity switched the Une-up, Kozoolin going to centre-half, and Costain to centre-forward. This appeared to strengthen the team, but failed to produce any goals. The play In this stanza was a repetition of that of the later half of the first period. There was little to choose between the teams, and both goalies had several anxious moments. Varsity appeared at times to have the equalizing goal, but each time they were foiled by the opposing goalie, who turned in a fine g&me. During this half, a little ill- feeling crept in, but the difficulties were smoothed over without anyone being sent off. Toward the close of tht struggle, Costain sent in a beautiful over-head shot which the goalie just managed to snare under the bar. Soon after the whistle ended the game and Varsity's hopes for the silver-ware. McGill was again outstanding for Varsity, and was the mainstay of the defence. Kozoolin, especially in the second half, showed up well, as did Frattinger in goal. The main fault of the team was the lack of finish in front of goal. The team: Frattinger, McGill, Grant, Wright, Kozoolin, McDougal, Smith, Munday, Costain, D. Todd, and L. Todd. PPOegp^a^i4algWsaaaa'f'^alBPW^a'aw''^sagHf^B p^BSPV^s^MEp POT SHOTS PRESS BOX ! Olympiad Rowers To Find Comfort At Los Angeles Los Angeles, California.—Construction of boat houses, floats and other equipment necessary to complete preparations for the rowing events of the Games of the Xth Olympiad, which are to be celebrated in this city from July 30 to August 14, is now under way, according to the Organizing Committee for the Games. The races will be held in Long Beach Marine Stadium, 40 minutes from Olympic Stadium, for five days beginning August 9. Events include four-oared shells with coxswain, pair- oared boats without coxswain, single sculls, two-oared shells with coxswain, four-oared shells without coxswain, double sculls without coxswain and eight-oared shells. Long Beach Marine Stadium comprises a fresh-salt water course of sufficient length to contain a splendid 2000-metre straightaway course. More than 100,000 spectators can view the races from the bordering shore, and grand stands to accommodate 10,000 more, are being built. Construction work now going on includes also dressing rooms, containing lockers and shower baths for the oarsmen as well as lounges and dining rooms. FROM THE PRESS In less than two weaks the Blue and Gold basketball stars of the University of British Columbia will start a campaign In defense of the Canadian Championship which they won last spring, and the boys are beginning to take things seriously. Under the guiding hand of Coach Arnold Henderson the student hoopsters have been showing some improvement throughout the year, but lack of competition haa caused the collegians to eaae up on their training. • • e Then there has been the question of eligibility, which hain't helped the cage artists any. Some of the basket men have felt that they weren't getting a break where the council had a hand in it There has also been to some extent the attitude that the present squad was not strong enough to compete in the Dominion playdowns. Thia has been dispelled, however, by the con- testa with Ellensburg and Blaine, and the students at. getting over their Inferiority complex. • • • The eligibility rules are coming up on Friday for consideration at a meeting of the students. There are two sides to the question, naturally, and both aides have sound arguments to back their views. Plainly the supporters of the new eligibility code are far more biased than the Students' Council, and Council has not lent Its support to the move. The student executive has nothing to gain by throwing out any changes suggested ln the regulations, and It would seem that the action of the Students' Council has been solely for the good of the University and the Alma Mater Society. • • • Varsity track men are working out three times a week in preparation for the Interclass and Inter- faculty contests, as well as for the meet with the College of Puget Sound which will be staged in Vancouver some time in March. The cinder men are certainly showing plenty of ambition this season, and should easily avenge the defeat received In Tacoma last year. Ralph Thomas, the track prexy, has lined up a formidable aggregation, and is doing heroic work in building up a first class team. • • • Another college basketball squad is coming to the fore In search of Dominion honors. McGill hoopsters are worrying the opposition in both the Intercollegiate and Montreal leagues. A short time ago the Eastern students handed the smart "Nal- ocs" squad a 30-24 trimming, which gives them quite a boost as the • * * The co-eds arc having quite a time in their Interclass athletic endeavours, and from all appearances are taking them quite seriously. We had the good fortune to sit in on a basketball "game" in which the senior girls out-battled the Freshettes by an 8-6 score. But the co-eds are having a lot of fun ln their rather aimless wanderings on the gym floor, which after all is the chief aim of these contests. • * * The women have also started to train for the Spring track season, and weekly workouts in the gym are being well attended. Margaret Wilson, the petite senior, is one of the big boosters in the girls' cinder organization, and, if you are interested in turning out, can give you a general idea of what Is going on. Comments From Here and There on Inter^Class Sports BY DAY WASHINGTON The semi-finals in the girls Interclass basketball league will be played off this week, with the four top teams battling for a place In the final round. Arts '32, '33 and '35 and Education are the four teams in the top position. Arts '32 and *33 will fight It out on Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock, and the Education ladles will tackle the freshettes at four o'clock on Thursday afternoon. The winners of the two games will meet In the final round some day next week. The two games this week should prove to be real thrillers, and we strongly advise you to take an hour off and drop around to the gymnasium to see the girls play ball. • • • The men's section of interclass basketball has entered on the final week of Its league schedule and next Saturday's game will complete the league. To simplify matters the classes were divided into two divisions, one consisting of Arts '33, '34, Sc. '32 and '33 and Theologs. The other group comprises Arts '32, '33, Sc. '33, '34 and Aggies. With the completion of the schedule the top team in each division wil play off. • • • Science '33 came out on top In a game against Arts '38 to aid their league standing materially. Arts '33 humbled Science '31 on Wednesday, swamping them by a 30-10 score. Tha engineers had no combination and a poor basket eye. Science '33 came along again on Saturday to take Arts '34 Into camp. This Science '33 team looks like a good bet in their division. , • • • This week's schedule la as follows: Tuesday noon Arts '33 vs. Aggies; Wednesday noon Sc. '33 vs. Theologs; Saturday noon Sc. '35 vs. Aggies. Artimen Defeat Engineers 2-0 In Soccer Contest Arts '34 eliminated Science '34 from tlie Inter-Class Soccer Competition yesterday noon by giving the Red- shirts a 2-0 whitewashing. Owing to the absence of a ball the game was delayed for about half an hour, but when finally one of the Sciencemen produced the necessary sphere, and the ref blew his tin whistle, things started off with a bang. Three minutes had scarcely elapsed when Dick Smith, playing on the extreme left for the Artsmen, sent a high shot at goal from forty yards out which completely fooled the lanky Redshlrt goalie, and the ball fell into the net. Play continued at a rapid pace with spectacular combination and mlsklcka on both sides. Arts, however, did most of the pressing in this half. Science, with the wind in their backs, changed their tactics in the second half with the result that they almost tied the Artsmen on a number of occasions. Though the game slowed up somewhat in this period, yet both teams fought bitterly for the ball at all times. Hughie Smith, not to be outdone by his kid brother's extraordin- ory effort, convinced the onlookers of the Artsmen's superiority when he broke fast through the Redshirts' last line of defenders, tricked the goalkeeper and put the ball into the empty goal. The game ended soon after. Co-ed. Hockeyists Tie With ex-Kits Varsity Women's Grass Hockey team tied with Ex-Kits in a no score game at Memorial Park on Saturday. With the quick clearing of the ball by D. Johnson and P. Campbell, fullbacks, and the series of rushes made by the inside forwards, Mary Macdonald, Isobel McArthur and Muriel Partridge, the co-eds game showed marked improvement. The Varsity team played an attack game in both halves but the tendency of the half-backs to leave their checks and the inability of the forwards to find the goal resulted ln a no score game. ARNOLD HENDERSON Veteran of the squad that brought the first Canadian Championship to the University of B. C, Arnold Henderson is now engaged in developing a team to defend the title. Despite the setbacks which the cagers have received this season, the boys feel confident that they are capable of making a good showing against the Vancouver and District League winners in the Lower Mainland series. TEN YEARS AGO TODAY Varsity week, second celebration of its kind, opened with a bang last Monday, the first shot being a mass meeting and student demonstration of wit and vigor. Since then the "pep gun" has been firing away in tug-of-war competitions, basketball, and oratorical contests. The biggest shot of all will be Theatre night no doubt. For the winners of these interclass contests a silver trophy has been donated by the Board of Governors. The Farmers won an inter-faculty debate with the Scientists, affirming "that the adoption of a policy of Free Trade would be beneficial to Canada."

Tennis Club To Have Busy Spring Season With the bright sunshine and warmer weather of the past week, tennis has once more taken its place among the active sports on the campus. The awakening is much earlier this year than usual. The concrete courts have been very busy and all indications point to the most successful spring season the Club has had for several years. The President, Reg. Price, has several announcements of interest to all tennis players and particularly club members. Club hours have been granted to the club by Students' Council, and are aa follows: Monday 1:05 p.m.; Thursday 1:05 p.m.; Friday 1:05 p.m. Only club members who may be required to show their tickets will be allowed on the courts during these hours after this week. Members who have paid their fee of $1.00 may now get their permanent ticket from the secretary, Cliff Yolland. Tennis players who have not yet joined the club may do so for 50c for the balance of the term, and enjoy the use of the courts during the club hours. The executive is busy at present arranging a number of matches to take place within the next month. The first of these is a challenge match between Arts and Science which will take place on Saturday, February 27. Efforts are also being made to arrange a match between the club and members of the faculty, following the above. Correspondence, with a view to arranging matches with Victoria College, Washington, and other outside bodies, has been entered into.

POST MORTEMS With Stu Keate The firm of Farrington, Hedreen and Eyre can point with pride at their Canadian Rugby proteges, the Blue and Gold Senior City aggregation. On Saturday a sturdy line and smashing backfield carried the boys to a 6-0 win over the strong V.A.C. squad. Joe Dwyer was one of the big factors in the Vac's defeat The 130- pound freshman forward-passed and drop-kicked the clubbers until they were dizzy. His two drop-kicks were the only scores of the game. Wilf. McKnlght, ex-golfer, waa on the receiving end of a lot of Dwyer's passes. Senior City company went well with Jack Steele, too, who found that he wu not so greatly outweighed hi this league as he wu In "Big Four." Arts '34 won the annual interclass swimming gala at Chalmers pool on Thursday night with a total of 41 points; Arts '33 were only 5 pointa behind. George Copeland, a freshman, upset the dope when he defeated Jimmy Wilson in the men's 50-yard free style event Jimmy took sweet revenge when he won the 100-yard sprint over Ron Wilson of Science, and Copeland, his Frosh rival. In all, Jimmy copped four firsts, two seconds, and a third, to take individual honours. Ken Beckett garnered two firsts. "I won the breast stroke," says Norm Gustafson, "but they wouldn't give it to me because I used the crawl." Figure that one out! Arts '34 were eliminated from any hopes of the interclass basketball trophy when with four men, Saturday, they dropped the count to Science '33 by 9-7. Next Thursday an almost historic golf fued will be renewed when Charlie McCaddon meets Arnie Powell in the first round of the University Championship. These boys have met twice in previous years. Both times McCadden has won on the last green. It looks as though the championship might be settled In the first round! From all reports the Blaine Senior A" basket encounter was not so hot, both teams playing listless ball. The boys from the 49th parallel haven't the finish of the Ellensburg squad. Pi Campbell hit his old stride in this game and Bob Osborne hung up 13 points as they should be hung up. Ken Wright and Jimmy Bardsley showed to advantage when they were on. The schedule has been drawn up Final Clearance of All Skiis tot inter-fraternity Softball and the Greeks will commence play within the next week or two.
