Professor Day Discusses Value of Debating
In Meeting World Problems

"University debating is a very valuable traininf for the
futura leaders of society," states Professor J. Friend Day. "Val-
uablb in discussing the problems of today. The historic debate on
the Moscow Road quegtion illustrates most emphatically Just how
keen thi public is in its desire to have different subjects dia-
cugged in a frank manner.
"One of the many important problems facing modern society Is 'Just where do the functions of governments end and
tiie rights of Individuals begin? All<$>
the more important because the
present world wide depression is
causing all kinds of theories as to
changes and developments in our
society.
It ig plain to bo seen that the state
haa been taking over more and more
functions of late years, and in the
minds of many there seems to be no
end te the way in which individual
rights are being limited-rights wen
at great cost by our forefathers. The
debate en Friday night will mean a
frank discourse on a subject of vital
importance to the city, tiie province
and ihe dominion," Prof. Day eon-

Nathan Nemetz and Ernie Brown

to the people of Western Canada
that debating is once more on a firm
footing at U.B.C. Bill Whimster and
Frank Miller perform against Manitoba representatives ln Vancouver.
Both teams are In high spirits and
are eagerly looking forward to tonight's struggle.
Prominent Judges
The Vancouver debate ia being held
in the Oak Room of tha Hotel Vancouver. Professor Day, honorary
president of the Parliamentary Forum will be in the chair. Several
prominent legal minds will do the
judging and contrary to the unfortunate result of the Imperial Debates
will decide tbe Issue themselves.
Ralph S. Lear, a pupil of Mrs. N.
Palsley-Benn has kindly consented
to sing before the debate.
Advance ticket sales have been
rather disappointing, the student
body failing to respond as enthusiastically ns before. Tickets are very
reasonable, 25c for students and 35c
to the general public.
Tonight in California Neil Perry
and Vic Dryer match wits with California State's best in an attempt to
decide the future of Western civilization.

ON UNEMPLOYMENT

The popular series of addresses
sponsored by the West Point Orey
United Church A.O.T.S., is to be
renewed on January 23 at 8:15 p.m.
when Professor O. F. Drummond is
to give an address on Unemployment Insurance. A cordial invitation
is extended to students to attend. A

work is to be taken.
Frances Lucas
Crowned Poet
Laureate of L.C.
Laurel wreaths—or, more colloquially, ivy strands — were bound
about the brows of the Poet and
Prose Laureate of the Letters Club
on Tuesday night, when the club
held its annual "Original Contributions Evening" at the home of Mrs.
H. F. Angus.
Frances Lucas won the award for
the best poem submitted, and now
holds the position which Ronald
Grantham had last year. Dorothy
Johnson has taken Bill Mathers'
place as Prose Laureate.
About twenty members assembled,
each of whom had to contribute a
short piece of creative writing.
Poetry predominated as the most
popular choice. Familiar essays, descriptive pieces, and parodies were
also represented.
After the readings and discussion,
ballots were cast for the best work
of the evening, and Mrs. Angus
crowned the victors.
Chamber
Symphony
b Lauded
Large Audience Appreciates Noon-hour
Programme
The Vancouver Chamber Symphony Orchestra, under the capable
direction of Mr. A. E. White, re*
calved an enthusiastic reception on
Thursday noon when it played to
a capacity audience hi the Auditorium. The Musical Society Is to be
congratulated on obtaining the services of an orchestra of this calibre,
whose whole performance was vested
with musical feeling and sincerity,
combined with adequate technical
abilities.
In the opening selections from
Humperdink's "Hansel und Oretel."
the various themes were well contrasted, although at times a alight
tendency to drag spoilt the rhythmic
effect. This shortcoming was sniply
made up for however, by the fine
rhythmic swing and brightness of
the concluding "Witch" valse.
The string section of the orchestra
were heard to especially good advantage In "Chanson de Matin" and
"Chanson de Nuit," two songs for
orchestra composed by Sir Edgar
Elgar. . The happy lyrical quality
of the termer song was well expressed by the players, but it was
in the more sombre "Chanson de
Nuit" that the best colour effects
and shadings were obtained. A little more contrast between the Adagio and the second rather quicker
movement would hav* Improved this
last selection.
i-3to orchestra was undoubtedly at
its best in Beethoven's Overture to
Fldello, the second of a series of
four which he wrote for the opera.
The dramatic possibilities ot the
overture were fully realized by the
conductor and the opening Adagio,
in which the clarinets and basoons
play the melody to the soft accompaniment of the strings, was especially effective. The Allegro, a movement Invested with many technical
difficulties, was smoothly rendered,
and the well sustained climax after
the trumpet call led to a stirring
close.
Due to lack of time the orchestra
was unable to give the encore which
the audience very evidently desired.

This amount, together with the remains of the original stadium fund,

Council decided on Monday night to
bring the matter bexore the Alma

order to find ways and means of
raising the desired funds. Various
council members pointed out that
the field at present is of little use
and that It would be a vary creditable achievement on the part of the
present student body to put the stadium In proper shape, thus leaving
it as a permanent asset to the students of future years.
A possible means suggested for collecting the ' money was the time-
honored method of each student subscribing one dollar via caution money

agreed that however it was to be
obtained, the money should be raised

AMBITIOUS SCRIBE
MARVELS AT CITY
POUCEJLENTTUDE
Ubyssey scribes who put out the
"Sun" Tuesday were, on the whole,
satisfied that they had seen all the
inside workings of a big paper, but
they were disappointed that the communist riot scheduled for Tuesday
fell through.
So certain was one scribe that the
riot would take place that he penetrated the sanctum sanctorum of
Chief Constable C. E. Edgett and
asked what precautions had been
taken. He received the brisk reply
that police did expect no demonstration.
Nothing daunted by what he considered a blind, the youth joined a
Sun photographer to see Vancouver,
and for most of the afternoon he
and the camera-man travelled between Hotel Vancouver and City nail
In search of "dope." They found
nothing but a large number of spectators, plenty of cops and a few unemployed.
The City Hall was closed to all
but the press and employees and
was guarded by six officers and a
couple of plain-clothes men. R.C.-
M.P. and city cops marched the
streets in groups, and mounted officers paraded in formation.
But there was no riot; perhaps the
sight of hundreds of burly policemen
had discouraged even the most ardent communists.

record In the realm of world affairs.
After a distinguished career as an
educationalist in Japan, the United
States and Germany, he was honoured by his Emperor by being appointed to the Japanese House of
Pears. He was Assistant Secretary-
General of tha League of Nations for
seven years, and served as chairman
of the Pacific Council held in Kyoto
in 1*29.
Knew Wilson
He declared that his interest in the
League of Nations was largely engendered by his admiration for
Woodrow Wilson, with whom he had
been a classmate at John Hopkins
University in Baltimore.
The speaker disclaimed any similarity between the present League
and former organisations for world
peace such as the Holy Alliance.
'The old leagues were tin work ot
a few men. Their harmony lasted
only as long as the champagne lasted. Our League is the result of the
desires of millions.'
Dr. mtobe payed tribute to the
Anglo-Saxons for their organizing
genius and attributed tiie success of
the League to Anglo-Saxon momentum.
Japanese Attitude
He declared that the attitude of
Japan to the League of Nations Is a
very delicate question.
"I believe and hope that Japan will
never leave the League." There
were certain factors however that
prejudiced the Japanese against the
League. When the covenant was
being drawn up, Woodrow Wilson
vetoed a resolution signifying complete racial equality among the nations, which greatly hurt the feelings
of sensitive Japanese.
The refusal of the United States to
participate in the League meant that

SHAME ON YOU FROSH!
It is with considerable disgust that we learned yesterday
that a mere seventy freshmen turned out to their elections.
For years the Frosh have been noted on the campus for their
pep and enthusiasm. This year the enthusiasm seems to have
run to rowdyism and heckling—a thing to be deplored in any
meeting, let alone one on the campus.
Freihmen ghould remember that they are supposed to have
reached the age of discretion. It was found necessary in the
past to have the Junior Member act as class president lor the
fall term, but if the example Arts 36 has set is carried out in
future years, it will be necessary to deprive the Frosh of the
privilege of electing their own executive.
We gincerely hope that a better standard of behaviour is
get at the meeting today.
THANK YOU, MR. CROMIE
We, the members of the Publications Board, would like to
extend hearty thanks to Mr. R. J. Cromie, genial editor of the
Vancouver Sun, for his kindness in allowing us to invade his
newspaper and to edit three editions on last Tuesday.
This is the second time he has allowed the Board to descend upon his offices, and we hope the event has now become
an annual one. It provides 'pubbites' with an insight into the
workings of a full sized newspaper, replete in all its departments, and which the Ubyssey cannot hope to emulate. The
experience, however, is valuable.
Long will we remember the hectic rush.

SHADES OF 1925
The renaissance of the art of debating on this campus is
worthy of more than passing notice. Through the initiative and
efforts of the members of the Parliamentary Forum and the
untiring assistance of their Speaker, Professor J. Friend Day,
an entirely new spirit has superseded the former state of decrepit inactivity.
The fact thatlhe Parliamentary Forum is now fielding three
teams of debaters, one in California, one in Saskatchewan and
one at home is sufficient evidence of the amazing progress of
the last year. The high standard of the teams fielded bears full
witness of the excellent results attained. The debaters require
only an intelligent and active public interest to place their art
on a secure and permanent basis at this university and ln this
city.
The splendid audience which attended the British debate of
last season augurs well for the future. To-night the team of
Whimster and Miller meet a University of Manitoba pair in the
'Hotel Vancouver. It is the duty of every student to make this
event a success, both by his own presence and by obtaining the
interest of the general public. Student tickets are only twenty-
five cents.
The university requires all the support available from the
public of this province. The debating activities should bring forcibly to their notice that a program worthy of the taxpayers'
money is being carried out by the students.
Debating is a real contribution to the cultural life of the
campus.
Headlines and
Deadlines
By NANCY MILES
Epidemic
The ugly head of scandal has
raised its head on the campus of the
University of Toronto, according to
their edition of the "Varsity" for
January 13. A student gazing skyward perceived hanging by a string
from an Emmanuel College window,
bottles. This is the college where
the theologs live.
Investigation failed to confirm the
first suspicion but brought to light
something equally serious. The bottles contained an insidious oil, which
ferments producing en odor of cod

must be told. Toronto theologs use

Bright Idea
The new governor of Washington,
a Democrat, has had an idea about
education. He suggests that the University of Washington lower its entrance requirements, in order that
the less intelligent students may
have the benefit of a college education. Almost any day we expect to
hear of the honorable governor drain*
ing the Pacific so that the timorous
may learn to swim in shallow water.
Epidemic
"The Alarm dock," an undergraduate publication of Montreal made
its much heralded debut early this
month, according,to the McGill Daily.
The editors are political adherents
of the Cooperative Commonwealth
Federation, a political body of socialistic doctrine. The now magazine was greeted with complete sale
of the entire edition during the first
two days after puDucation, which
must have been gratifying. The sellout may be attributed however, to
the realms of favorable publicity lt
has received.
The criticism offered In "The
Bookshelf," a regular feature of the
"Daily," was that it was expository
rather than critical, and a more intolerant attitude was recommended.
Somehow* one suspects that "The
Alarm Clock" may after all, be
simple student burbling. However,
we may be leaping at conclusions,
since a copy has not yet reached the
Exchange Department of this paper.
Not to be outdone, Toronto University has broken forth with a similar publication, entitled somewhat
succinctly, "The Black Sheep." No
Information about this magazine is
forthcoming, beyond the fact that
the idea of the title has passed over
many heads.

THOMAS ANTOINE
On a hot day last August, I met
Thomas Antoine. I had Just secured
a position with the Granby Consolidated Company, to prospect for them
on commission, and aa the older prospectors called me "that green kid,"
I was flattered when Thomas Antoine
consulted me. He waa just an ancient
Indian, smelling abominably of fish,
but he brought me a lump of copper
70 per cent, pure!
Glorious dreams raced through my
mind. I would be rich—those prospectors would never laugh at me
again, if only I could bamboozle the
old native into showing me the source
of the ore.
He was easy. For $100 he took me
in his boat up the coast to an inlet
that wound back Into the mountains.
He guided me up a slippery trail,
reached a rocky cleft, and pointed
with his finger. I dashed forward and
found pure copper—but less than a
cubic yard of it.
Thomas Antoine was such a simple
fellow. I can hardly believe that he
tricked me, and yet—and yet—well,
I've come back to study psychology!

and a Discipline Committee are incompatible, but it appears that, at
this University, we have neither.
This was particularly evident at the
Pep Meeting held to "honour" the
basketball team from Yakima.
One cannot imagine that University
students are not aware of the possible, and, indeed, quite probable results of shooting peas with a peashooter, from the gallery of the auditorium at those below, particularly
when .many of those below were
looking up.
With regard to the students who
were participating in the horse plsy
one can think ot but two explanations for their conduct: either they
were too embryonic to realise the
probable results of their actions, or
else they were callously indifferent
as to the consequences to anyone
but their little selves. (It might be
noted in this regard that the child
of one of Vancouver's workers in the
juvenile delinquency field wss one
of the most enthusiastic participants
In this "sport".)
With regard to the Discipline Committee there appear to be but three
explanations: either they are not
aware of the responsibilities of then*
office as members of the committee,
and, or they are too lethargic to perform those duties, or they did not
have enough college spirit to attend
the pop meeting at which the visitors from Yajtima were expecting to
be welcomed. The first two are
probably the more reasonable suppositions if one were to judge from
the way student affairs have been
administered in the last year or so.
It is not likely that they would miss
the pep meeting since, though they
might not go to welcome the visitors
to the University, minds of such calibre would scarcely fall to witness a
Felix the Cat Picture.
"But," some students will ask,
"what is likely to result from this
demonstration of 'University Pap'?"
First, it is a fortunate accident that
one or more students have not lost
their eyesight. The inevitable costs
of such injuries would not be borne
by the "sportsmen" who caused them
both because there were too many
participating in this "sport" for the
injured person to pick the guilty one,
and because those who were participating were minors.
Then there are the probable consequences to the University. Think
of the publicity the University would
get from such an accident.
The members of the Discipline
Committee were elected because the
majority of the students had confidence in them; let us hope to see
this confidence better justified in the
future.
Yours,
SENIOR

Dr. Nitobe referred only very
briefly to the Manchurian situation
He regretted the fact that the League

CONFERENU
University of Washington was host
to the N. W. Students' International
Conferenoe this year, and will be
again next year. The campus forms
an ideal Mtttpg for such a conference because of the facilities for
group meetings as well as large
gateerinf*. lie conference head-

University YJU.CA, where a registration and ^formation bureau la
situated. A

of welcome, the chairman of tne
conftrenef, Mr. Shlfsaki Ninomya,
outlined Sao general program for the
day, and titedtlegates then went to
their respective round-tables.
The Round Tables on tiie Far East
were under ihe supervision of Dr.

At 11:11 the conference assembled
t« hear two addresses, the first by
Prof. H. H. Preston, on the Outcome
of the tnuaanne Conference, and the
second by Prof. H, F. Angus of U.
B.C. on the dignificance of the Conference ai Ottawa.
A reception at Eagleson Hall was
arranged by the University of Washington Club. Dinner at the Wilson-
Ian Hotel was followed by a social
hour. The Conference reassembled
ln Guggenheim Hall, where, after
purging the auditorium of certain
blasphemous literary propaganda, the
delegates and general public listened
to two remarkable speeches.
On the following morning the
Round Table convened as before. At
11 o'clock Prof. F. H. Soward gave
an address on the Results of the Disarmament Conference. Prof. 0. P.
Noble of Reed College then analysed
Recent German Policy and detailed
the international consequences.
The evening addresses were the
outstanding feature of the conference. Dr. Charles E. Martin, of the
Dept. of Political Science at the University of Washington presented a
most comprehensive review of American Policy in the Far East.

Capittliim'i Effect
On the Engineer
"You must give thought to receiving a training broad enough at its
bale to enable you to taxi on some
occupation for which you have not
specifically fitted yourselves. Don't
commit yourself too early to one
field."
Suoh was the advice given by
Prof. H. t. Angus to the V. B. C.

in Ap. Sc. 100, when he spoke on
"The Economic Future of the En-

Professor Angus declared that there

dass qualifications; If however, tho
present capitalistic system continues
after the depression, it la doubtful
whether any but the most extremely
efficient wUl be1 able to find remun-

the speaker oonsldesed that, following the depression, one of three
things will happen: either capitalism
will continue with small changes; or,
production will be Seliberatly alowed
down; er, on the oonteary, every pes-
sihle means will be used to speed
up production. Since ths world Into
which they will graduate will be
run on one of these systems (or on
the combination of the list two), it
li of Immediate interest for prospective engineers, to know what to
expect. ",fd«.>v
Only if the last named condition
prevails will the engineer come into

the pWessor.
Council Debates

was approved by Council. The performers in this will be members of
the French Literary and Dramatic
Society, but the concert will be held
under the auspices of the Alma Mater, Society.
A financial report from the Big
Four Canadian Rugby League was
explained by Al. Pike, of the Varsity Canadian Rugby Club. Varsity
receives no money from the league
this season, but will hold a credit
note for seventy dollars entitling it
to second call on gate recipts next
fall. This resulted from the fact that
three of the other Big Four teams
required money for payment of last
fall's expenses, and therefore U.B.C.
agreed to accept the credit note instead of cash.
Council granted permission to the
Varsity Swimming Club to send a
tea mto Victoria on January 28, and
to the Badminton Club to send representatives to the Mid-Island
Championships at Duncan on January 20 and 21.
The budget for Hi-Jinks was

Life Is > Problem?
"We all know that something is
wrong but we do not know what
that something la-there is no quiet-
i or peace," stated Mr. R. H.
Birch, B.A., hu an address on "How
to Solve the Problem of Life."
Mr. Birch listed the problems
which caused this turmoil under
three headings: (1) How are we going to be satisfied? (2) What happens to our failures and sins? (3)
What are we going to do about our
relationship with God?
In answering these questions the
lecturer said it was no good to go
to man to find the solution to the
problem of life. "We must go to
God. Natural man bears the marks
of his parents, out if he goes to God
he inherits the^ characteristics of
Jesus Christ.' Mr. Birch concluded
with the statement that "Natural
man ia moulded by man with hla
human failures but the'spiritual man
is moulded by the hand of God giving him power and the desire to rise
upward."

How To Wear
A Tuxedo
About the tux. or Tuxedo, depending on what you pay for it. Or them.
A tuxedo Is an absolutely colourless garment consisting of 17 pieces.
Or 18, depending on the studs. These
studs are rivet-like affairs designed
to hold the various pieces together.
They are Inserted, with shattered
dignity and a crow-bar, into the
shirt at various strategic points, for
the meaning of strategic, ask Xing
John to show you his dictionaries.
Or ask the C.O.T.C.
In front, protecting the chest and
tummy—or abdomen—is a cuirass (if
that's the word we want) of stiffened shirt-material. Why it is stiffened we do not know. It is rigid
enough to be uncomfortable, and yet
not armor-piated enough to resist
the onslaught of bullets, or icecream either.
The collar is also starch-impregnated to such an extent that it has
a saw-like effect on one's neck. Men
have been known to commit suicide
by rapidly rotating the head—and
neck, of course—against the collar.
The record time for. severing the jugular is 34 seconds, while the complete
decapitation has been accomplished
by one enthusiast in 3 minutes, 24
seconds. The runner-up to this last
advice had a fish-bone stuck in his
gullet, which materially slowed him
up.
If you wish to brighten up your
tux, don't, whatever you do, wear
loud yellow socks or a green tie, or
something like that. The thing must
be done subtly ,and unobtrusively.
Try a pair of scarlet cuff-links to
begin with.
You may also enliven your ensemble by wearing diamond studs
In your shirt front. I do not advise
diamond studs for the back collar-
button. And here may I interpolate
a word of warning. Wear a good
diamond—something about half an
inch in diameter. Anything smaller
is apt to be considered a trifle Wool-
worthy.
But do not carry this advice to
extremes. Do not go to a dance
with a tie pin stuck in your four-
in-hand. Not even a tasteful combination of rubies, emeralds and
lapis-lazull will do.

Show Good Teamwork in Exhibition
Second Half Disastrous To Tourists
By ARNOLD WHITE
Varsity Senior A basketballers
showed Tuesdsy night that their victory over Yakima during the holidays
was no mistake when they again triumphed over them by a 40-41 score.
As in the first game, the first halt
wm close, the half-time score being
11-14 for the local boys, but Varsity
ran wild in the second stansa and
tossed' In baskets with abandon to
out-score the tourists 22-7 .
Yakima Load at Start
Yakima started the game with a
rush, and grabbed off a 4-polnt load
before Nicholson dropped In the first
Varsity score. The Southerners, however, managed to scrape along in the
lead for the first ten minutes, until
Campbell and Nicholson combined for
two beautiful baskets, to give Varsity
the edge at 9-8.
The tourists called time-out in an
effort to alow up the Blue and Oold
squad, who were travelling at a fast
pace. On the resumption of play they
once more took a one-point lead
when Captain Davis sank one from
near centre. Soon after this, however,
Laurie Nicholson and Rann Matthison,
who had replaced Bardsley, ran in
three beautiful baskets to give Varsity
a dot mite lead. Half time came soon
after with the score at lt-U.
Second Half AU Varsity
Tha Blue and Oold started the second halt with a rush, and soon had
pttaned their lead up to eleven pouits.
Campbell and Matthison were showing great form, and were sinking baskets with great abandon. The Yakima
boys seemed a little upset at the way
things were going, and began to shoot
from well out Instead of working the
ball in well. The result was that they
were held to three field goals and one
foul during the period.
When Varsity were holding a nine-
point lead at 29-20, Coach Allen sent
in Ex-manager Mansfield for Nicholson. From the tip-off at centre Rann
Matthison combined with Campbell
and Ken Wright to score the prettiest
basket of the game. Just before Bardsley came In to replace him, he scored
two more beautiful baskets to round
out a nice evening's work. He was
given a good hand as he left the floor.
At the same time Dick Wright replaced Ken Wright at guard, Pi Campbell going to forward.
Varsity Press Till Finish
Shortly after Nicholson came back
on the floor for Campbell, PI had
been playing a great game at both
guard and forward, and got a big
hand as he retired from the game.
The new formation kept up the pressure, with Dick Wright running In
five points in the few minutes ot play
left. Substitutions by the Yakima
squad failed to check the Blue and
Gold who were under the visitors'
basket as the gun went. The final
score was 40-21.
Captain Davis lived up to advance
reports as a hard checker, filling his
position at guard well. Bishop, snapshot artist, was high man for the
Yakima squad with six pouits. He
could get his shots away with amaz-
the-hole plays.
Campbell was outstanding for the
home squad, both on guard and on
attack. His ten points were well-
earned, and represented a number of
fine combination plays. The Varaity
boys fought hard the whole game,
and played more as team than in recent games.
The teams: Varsity—Osborne (6),
K. Wright (4), Mansfield, Bardsley,
Nicholson (S), Matthison (10), D.
Wright (5), Campbell (10).
Yakima—Jones (S), Judy, Bishop (S),
Antles, Movlus (4), Fields (5), Jerrit-
son, Davis (2).
BOB OSBORNE
Captain Bob Osborne will have to
Instil a little more fight into his
Senior "A" Baakeball squad if they
are to finish the season at the head
of the Burrad League. On Wednesday
night they lost thdr second straight

Team Loses Second
Game in Row, 33-31
Student Squad Give
Poor Exhibition
By DAY WASHINGTON
Still ln a daze as far as league
games are concerned, Varaity Senior
A basketball team dawdled around on
the floor for forty minutes and were
decidedly outclassed in every department by the fighting Province quintette at the Westminster Arena Wednesday night, losing 88-31.
Spirit Ucking
Although the students almost pulled
the game out of the fire In the last
minute, they were, nevertheless, playing a losing game from the first, and
no possible alibi can be offered for
the defeat. Bather it may bo said that
just as long as the team continues its
Indifferent attitude, and plays more
like a bunch of strangers than a peppy hard-working unit, then Just as
long will it continue to be defeated.
In the last two games there has
not been hardly a single spark of team
spirit or determination in the Blue
and Oold camp. The team that had
previously captured the admiration of
every fan for its splendid cooperation
and strong team spirit has, for the moment at least, bean self-transformed
into a lackadaisical group of halfhearted individuals.
Play Adanacs Saturday
They have a chance, however, to
redeem themselves hi a large measure
on Saturday night when they engage
the Adanacs for the second time this
half of the league. A win for the students tomorrow, night will put them
once more in a strong position for top
place, while a lose may make It hard
for them to grab a play-off berth.
U.B.C. Ahead At Half Time
With the score 10-7 against them
after about ten minutes of sloppy
playing, the Blue and Gold outfit got
together on their combination, and
Bardsley, Hooker, Wright, Nicholson
and Osborne each scored a basket
without a reply from the opposition
to give them a five-point lead.
After this rally the students wilted
again and let Peeblea through to score
two baskets and end the half 15-14.
Score Tied
Three minutes of play in the second
period ended with the score tide at
18-18, but while Varsity struggled hard
to get five points, the newspaper lads
broke through for six baskets and a
foul shot to take an 8-polnt lead.
Varsity Almost Win
With four minutes of play left, Pi
Campbell snared a basket and foul,
and started a rally that all but pulled
the game out of the fire. Ken Wright
and Nicholson each got a basket, and
Bob Osborne a free throw to make the
score 31-31.
Ten seconds before full time Helem
popped in a basket for Province to
give them victory, and Varsity its

Emerson Hit
Of Pep Meet
For Yakima
By V. L.
That outside talent is unnecessary
to give spice to U.B.C. pep meetings,
was again proved on Tuesday noon.
Amidst the clamouring of tho thundering herd, some In disguise in their
red Jackets, the meeting started with
a sissling Skyrocket. Harold King
started off the music with "HaU
U.B.C," followed by "Sleep, Come
On and Take Me," but Judging from
the applause, the arms of Morpheus
embraced no one.
The actual highlight of the program was undoubtedly 'Jack Emerson's playing of his own composition.
Emerson's' versatility as a musician
Is widely renowned, but he exceeded
himself in this number. Many remarks were passed that Emerson
should have' this as yet unnamed
composition published, as it surely
compares favorably with the popular
hits of the day.
The Yakima team, Introduced by
Bob Osborne from the stage, were
given a rousing welcome. We deeply regret, however, that our spotlight literally could not touch a certain member ot the visiting team, but
the good-natured Yakimanian didn't
teem to complain.
In spite of the kindly audience offering him, in fact insisting that he
accept, the remains of their midday
repast, Milt Owen made an announcement that nominations for
Freshman elections were due on
Thursday, the latest Bill Whimster
then spoke on the forthcoming Alma
Mater meeting.
"We want Mickey!" was the cry of
the assembly, but Gordy Hilker
made the startling announcement
that a Sclenceman had Jammed the
film Into tiie projection. (Strange
how, after that disappointment,
everyone's'generosity towards Hilker
with their lunches was demonstrated)
... Oh well, thc way of all leftovers ... or sumpin'.
The orchestra soothed the raging
crowd with several numbers. Harold
King enacted the ideal "All-Canadian Girl," and at last admitted himself a pansy . . . and in front of
everybody, too. A modernistic "poem"
was aptly rendered by drummer
Malcolm Pretty who , ln his flowing
robes and matted beard, did look
quite the "prexy." King and Charlie
Poulette then gave their interpretation of "Wabash Blues." Other featured numbers by the orchestra were
"Goofus," and "Louisiana Hayride."
Also, Emerson fiddled Mendelssohn's
"Spring Song" with vo-do-de-o-dos
and other sound effects supplied by
the orchestra.
After a final cheer, during which
uncooked beans were showered from
the gallery, Felix the Cat drew the
meeting to a close by performing
his antics on the asbestos curtain.
(By % the way ... I like bean soup.
There were lots of beans strewn
around. To make bean soup, you
wash the beans and coo«. them. We
had no beans at home. We had bean
soup for Tuesday night's supper.)

SPORTORIAL
At one time U. B. C. possessed a track club of which it
could well be proud, but during the last few years Interest in
this branch of sport has been becoming more and more laxa-
daisical. Track is listed as a major sport, but athletic authorities
around the campus are beginning to become very dubious Of
its remaining as such.
There is no reason in the world for this attitude as it betrays a lack of confidence in the students' ability to support an
institution in campus athletics which has been one of our proudest boasts. With such men as Harold Wright, Canadian Olympic
star, and Haddon Agnew, discuss and weight star enrolled this
year, it's only fair that the students in the university should give
the track club every support.
Inter-Class
Comments

SOCCER
Just how long will it be before
class representatives come out of
their shells, and realise that they were
elected by the members of (their
classes to control the class athletic
duties?
Today, news reaches us that ln an
Interclass soccer game the Theologs
won a game by default from the Frosh
—this is bad enough, but this happens
to be thc second defaulted game of
the freshmen.
Only last week thc same question of
organisation arose in tho lack of organization in inter-class basketball,
and now tills weak it is soccer.
If we're going to have Interclass
sports at all let's get organised!
I hear that the Soccer Club is seriously considering s project of dropping any team in the Inter-class Soccer League defaulting any more than
three games.
Only one more time, Frosh.
Wednesday's Arte '83 Education
interclass soccer meet wu postponed
until next Monday—the pedagogues
had a noon lecture.
The two League loaders in the interclass soccer will play off for tho right
to moat the winner of the Knockout
series, we hear. If under any circumstances the winner of tho Knockout
series should be a league winner, tho
team standing second in that section
will take the place of the league leader in the league play-offs.
BASKETBALL
Although Hal the great has been
banished from the ranks of Arte '34,
the Juniors have been busy rebuilding their squad and are pretty confident that they can take all the games
which they are forced to re-play.
Tommy Mansfield has left the class
team for the Senior A team, but
Biff McLeod and Oeorge Prlngle of
the Senior B's should fill hi well. The
re-vamped line-up swings into action
with a game on January 26th against
the Frosh.
Freshmen bounce and dribble boys
Inform us that Alec Clarke, Intermediate A, Is laid up with injuries. Gordon Douglas, one of the leading
lights, will be in the game when they
come up against the Juniors on the
26th.
It looks pretty tough for the
Freshles.
Sen* Ruggers
To Encounter
All-Blacks
Game to be Played at
Brockton Point if
Weather O.K.
Eager To Avenge Previous Defeats By
N. S, Squad
Unless old King Frost lifts his
frozen paw before Saturday, the rugger match between North Shore All-
Blacks and Varsity will probably have
to be called off. Those two aggregations have clashed twice before, and
on both occasions, North Shore
squeezed through with narrow victories, and sq Varsity Is out for blood.
Despite the fact that a practice was
impossible yesterday, the University
of B.C. will field a strong team; in
all probability the McKechnie Cup
team ef last week will be used against
the Tisdall Cup-holders. Owing to the
completion of the Miller and Tisdall
Cup schedules, this game, If played,
will be an exhibition.
Varsity Fielding Same Pack
Headed by Rogers and Morris, the
scrum will be the same as that which
opposed Victoria last Saturday, with
the possible exception of Max Stewart, who wu injured. Button, Senkler and Gross will play flrstwtk with
Brown, Pearson, Sogers and Morris
ln the secondary phalanx.
INTERCLASS SOCCER NOTICE
The games In the interclass soccer
league for next week are as follows:
Monday, January 23, Arts 33 vs.
Education.
Wednesday, January 25, Arts 36 vs.
Arts 34.
Friday, January 27, Aria S3 vs.
A.T.C.
These will be the last league games
in the Arts league. After these have
been played off, the league will turn
to the knock-out series to determine
the league winner.
With Tye at half and Kenny Mercer at five-eighths, flanked by Young
and Art Mercer, tho three-quarter Une
looks u speedy u ever. Cleveland
and either Owen or Leggatt will fill
the flying wing positions, while Brand
should be holding down tho full-back
berth.
The men are anxious to rectify a
few of the flaws that crept Into the
game hi the first McKechnie Cup encounter, and u a result, are osier to
play u many games as possible before
they meet Vancouver "Reps.'* With
plenty of practice and plenty of support their chances of taking the prize
silverware this year seems u good u
either of the other teams.

Ambulance Scare
False Alarm
Visions of battle,, murder, and
sudden death flashed across the
minds of scattered observers on the
campus yesterday as an untoward
sight met their eyes.
Escorted by the law, In the well-
known form ox Sitting Bull, a large
ambulance clanged down the Mail.
Was it another Arts-Science brawl,
now a thing relegated to the more
prosperous past, when one ruined
suit—or senior—more or less didn't
matter?
Had some freshman, in a belated
mood of vicious revenge, attacked
and done for a sophomore? Or vice
versa? Had the secret of the Spring
Play been revealed, and "Alibis"
proved useless? The campus was
athrill with expectation.
But all in vain. The vehicle hesitated at tbe end. of the drive, then
turned back without stopping, and
sped down from Varaity without
collecting a single victim. The un-
dergradate yen for gore wu not
satisfied on this occasion after all.
