■•■ "Prom tht outset, it has been
unfortunate that tht so-called "Tlm

to mean something that it dots

Student CouncU had to rtfutt tht
Sodal PreMtmt Club permission to
present Tim Buck. Had it not, it
oould have been proved that direct
poUtical affiliations wtrt being
made bj the club in question.
*«Wl«h this proof before them,
tho council would have had no
dterantlvt but to declare tht
Sodd Club def und. litis we would
be very unwilling to do.
"Previous to this issue, ail
speakers that wtrt recognised poll,

couver Daily Province to pay full
expenses for beauties sdtctod by
other western unlvtrdtitt In a
competition here aomttimt next
week.
So far, other unlvtrdtitt havt
not definitely accepted the proposition but tht student bodies Af
universities of Manitoba and Saskatchewan havt stated willingness
to submit a candidate in tht beauty
competition.
It dl started whtn a group of
traitorous Saskatchewan students
at UBC wrote to a home-town
newspaper on tho prairies stating
that B.C. girls were no match for
prairie oo-tds. B. C. students indignantly accepted chaUenge to a
"showdown" beauty competition.
The ^Vancouver Daily Province
contacted newspapers in prairie
cities, found out that Wii
fib"
enter the ring with their campus
quttn.
Meanwhile, Student officials at
UBC are working on details of the
competition. Method of sdteting
UBC's entry is not dtdded, d-
though it is known that a general
meeting of male students to act as
flnal judges might not be an unpopular suggedlon.
Several student ogicials, entering
the real spirit of the occasion on
behalf of War Memorial Oym
Fund, have unselfishly consented
to undertake entertainment of the
lonely prairie girls when they arrive.
Nora Clarke, WUS vice-president
commented "Our digiculty wiU be
tc seelct candidates from the hundreds of beautiful students on the
campus. As yet we do not know
how the selections will bt made."
Iho Jokers' Tacoma oar parade,
hdd Saturday. November 2, to
provide a ohttring section fer the
College of Puget Sound • University of British Cdumhla footbaU
gamt, hat been pronounced an unqualified success by all who took
part.
The "shuffle," consisting of a-
bout 40 cars, left the rtndtsvout
point, PnttuUo Bridge, New Westminster, at 7: IS ajn., and proceeded from there to the U. S. border.
Evidently immigration officials
had beta previously notified of
tht mass migration, lor, titer only
a short stop, tht Canadians were
underway again.
Apart ffrom a few minor breakdown and a big parade around tho
campus of the Unlvtrdty of Washington, tht trek wu oomparltivdy
uneventful.

VETERANS1 BUREAU
IN SECOND YEAR
The Veteran's Bureau was established on the campus on October
1st 1945 with the primary purpose
of advising and councelling dl
veterans attending UBC. Since then
ithas also taken over the duties
of handling D.V.A. checks and
checking attendance and academic
standing of all ex-service students.
The two full time counsellors,
Major J. F. McLean and Dr. Black,
with the assistance of two part time
counsellors have given initial interviews to over 7,000 veterans In the
last year and a half. Almost a similar number of request interviews
have been granted in order to
stranghten out flnincial difficulties,
housing problems, course changes
and many of the other problems
facing vets.
DOUGH HANDLED
Many veterans hflve taken advantage of thc helpful apptitude and
mte-ost tests the Bweau has on
hand. These tests, especially tiie
Kuder appitude ted, have helped
a great number of undedded and
uncertain dudents in dedding Just
what vocation they are bed suited
for and has enabled them to plan
their course accordingly.
From the first of October, 1945 to
the first of October of this year the
Bureau handled over 29,700 DVA
checks.
EMPLOY VETS
Working in close conjunction
with the Veterans Counselling Service is the University Employment
Bureau, which is located in the
■'•irae hut near the south-east corner
of the Armouries. Although the
Fmploymcnt Bureau has not placed
as many people as it would like
to. it has nevertheless found part
time employment for more than
0,000 students fluring the summer
and the regular sessions. THE UBYSSEY, Tuesday, November 5, 1946 Page 2

PLAYERS' CLUB BORN
IN MATERNITY WARD
Twelve hundred alumni members, scattered over five
continents, and more than 100 successful play productions,
make up 31 years of UBC Players' Club History.
Professor Wood, founder of the
club, has taken a keen Intered and
pride In Its development from the
day it was organised, November 2,
1916, to Its present podtion as one
of the leading theatre groups in
British Columbia. He humoroudy
recalls that the club was'born! on
the Fairview site of the early
days, in a lecture room which was
later to become a maternity ward
o( the Vancouver Oeneral Hospital
annex.
POST PLAY
The first play produced was taken on a tour to Westminster and
Victoria. Funds raised were used
to purchase sports equipment for
the lSeth Battalion of western
Canadian university students, stationed on the camftis at the time.
The tradition, begun in the fird
year of its existence, has been
steadily maintained, by the club,
as plays have year by year been
taken further afield Into the province. In this way the Players' Club
has served as a link between the
university and the interior.
OUT-OF-TOWN MEMBERS
The dub has always had a large
membership of out of town students. Common interests found in
the Players' Club have thus
brought together students from all
parts of British Columbia.
Notorious screwballs, the thes-
pians, in spite of long hours of
play rehearsing, keep up their
studies. Beverley Wilson of Nanaimo, club president, is an honors dudent and scholarship winner.
In her past two years at university
she has given outstanding performances, and her lead presentation
of "The Shrew" in the Shakespearian production, "Taming of the
Shrew" will long be remembered.
Beverley also played one of the
lead roles as the maid In "Gaslight," produced at the Banff Summer School.
Gerry Williamson, vice-president,
a leading actor of the club, is also
v>ell known in B.C. for his radio
work.
Another out of town student,
Jim Argue from Cranbrook, fourth
year commerceman, fills the position of club treasurer. He has
1-lr.yed lead parts since first coming
U UBC.
Nancy Davidson, an acting member is dub secretary. George Baldwin, a committee member on the
flub executive is fnmous for his
.mtous comedy leads.

mas Dorothy Somerset

Coope is in charge of costumes.
Working behind the scenes, Chester Taylor is stage manager.
GRADUATE CABEEBS
Although all faculties are rep-
, resented in Players' Club mem-
bersnlp a few former members
have chosen careers following up
their interest in acting developed
at UBC. Amongd these CBC programmes director Kenneth Cople
is a UBC grad, and former Players' Club member. Sidney Risk,
another Players' Club alumni who
returned after graduation to direct club productions, has recently
resigned his position as director oi!
drama at the University of Alberta to form a western Canadian
Acting Company, soon to tour the
province, and Western Canada.
Miss Dorothy Sommerset, for many
years director of Players' Club pre-
entations, and known throughout
D.C. for her work as head of the
Extension Department, this year
lias started a drama course at thc
university.
CHRISTMAS PLAYS
Four Christmas plays are produced annually to give new members experience before the main
spring production. This year UBC
will be host to a western university drama festival, started last
ycar by Alberta University. The
Christmas plays will be entered
in the festival.
Homecoming
HelpsWarGym
Homecoming 1946 has meant
more than just a sentimental return by grads to their Alma Mater.
It has produced an increased
realization in the importance of
the Oym Drive, and has shown that
UBC's grads as well as her students are solidly behind the Drive.
Although direct results of proceeds towards' the Gym Drive on
Homecoming Day are as yet unavailable, it has been well established that the rcponse was enthusiastic. For instance, the class
of '26 presented the Gym Fund
with $500. as a result of their work.
The class of '26 was one of those
decade class featured on Homecoming.
OPENS CAMPAIGN
Homeocming Day fell on the
opening day of the Memorial Oym
Fund's renewed drive, and started
with a parade through the center
of the city. An advertising campaign over loed radio stations was
carried out, with the University
taking four of the stations.
In addition, a five-column ad
was inserted in each of the local
daily news papers.
\\
Aggie Students
Further Surveys
The scientific study of agricul-
urd problems is the medium
through which more than five
hundred students contribute to the
welfare of British Columbia.
In the pad year, studies, surveys, and research projects have
been furthered by the Faculty of
Agriculture under Dean F. M.
Analysis of soil types has been
continued to give a better picturu
of the potential crop-producing
areas of the Province. Twenty
acres of land in the Salmon River
VaUey have been put under cultivation for seed production and
extensive research has been continued in this department.
Outside of the strictly academic
pursuit of knowledge, faculty
members and students have attended and aided the numerous fairs
and shows which have been hela
throughout the province. By thu
and other means, such as lectures
and special demonstrations of processes, Information has been disseminated to the farmers, dairymen, and other groups of people
engaged In occupations relative to
this faculty's work.
CURRICULUM CHANGES
MUCH IN PAST YEARS
When it opened its doors on September 30, 1915, the
University of British Columbia was made up of three faculties: Arts and Science, Applied Science and Agriculture.
Early plans called for others, but as late as 1936 Bachelorates
and Master's Degrees were being granted only in the facul-
•d.
Students Support Drive;
Boost Alma Mater Fees
Commencing in September 1947, undergraduate Alma
Mater Society fees will be raised from $13.00 to $15.00. Under
this system, the AMS will direct immediately to the Gym
Fund the sum of $5.00 for each student.
The present enrollment of 8,98b
t'tT. na.v
From Its inception tho university
has been enlarging and enriching
its curriculum.
In September 1948 the Faculty of
Law was added to the university.
Other additions in that year were
courses leading to degrees In Social
Wcrk. and Home Economics.
NEW DEPARTMENTS
Tht ytar 1M6 saw the establishment of a myriad of now departments on tht eampus. Tht Department of Modem Languages was
divided into Departments of Spanish, French and Oerman.
Students now have the opportunity to study Russian under Dr.
James O. St. Claire Sobell, in the
Department of Russian and Slavonic studies.
Architecture, Agricultural Engineering and Farm Mechanics are
other departments which have been
coated this year.
NEW COURSES
To supplement the new departments courses are now being offered leading to degrees in Engineering Physics, Food Technology, and Physical Education. The
courses started this year in Dra-
iv.ti'-e nnd Music Appreciation are
expected to form the nucleus of a
department of Fine Arts.
students Is expected to drop to a-
bout 8,500 during 1947-48. This
means that the dudent body by
his efiort alone will be contributing In the neighborhood of $42,000
To this can be added the surplus
of $8,000 from the Brock Hall bond
issue which is to be called In ui
March of next year. By October
1947, the Provincial War Memorial
Fund will have been boosted by
approximately $50,900.
This annual donation of $5.00 pet
capita through the AMS office it
expected to be continued until
the War Memorial Gymnasium U
paid for.
In the pad, the students of the
UBC have rdsed the sum of $180,-
000, with which were constructed
the present Gymnasium, the play-
ing field, the Stadium and, more
recently, the Brock Hall.
No Income Tax
On Donations
Donations to the War Memorial
Drive are income-tax exempt under the War Charities Ad of 1939.

act, an individual can donate ten
per cent of his taxable Income to

IN WHICH WE SERVE
This special edition of the Ubyssey is
frankly designed to serve as one more appeal
to the people of British Columbia to support
the drive to build a War Memorial Gymnasium on the campus of the University of
B.C.
Apart from its doubled size and circulation, this Ubyssey is actually "special" in
only one sense. It has been especially planned to show to the people of the province
who live outside of Vancouver just what a
prominent part their sons and daughters,
relatives, and friends, play in the life of
the University.
But, ss a good many people know, every
issue of the student newspaper telle that
game story. The undergraduates known on
the campus aa the "out-of-town students"
always achieve more at UBC than their
numbers might indicate, and every time the
Ubyssey appears it tells their story, Every
time a scholarship list Is issued, a graduation
li held, a game is played, an election ia held,
or a play is produced, non-Vancouver ttu-
dentg are in the spotlight.
This has always been the case since the
University of B.C. wu born. The usual
explanation is that those students, and their
hometowns, have put just a little bigger effort in getting them to the University in the
first place, and that once here they make the
best of their opportunity.
Individually, their families and home communities know about the honors won by the
men and women they send to UBC. Often,
however, they do not get a chance to see
just how great a force is the total of the
endeavors behind those honors. For that
reason, the Ubyssey staff, itself including
many out-of-town members, has attempted
this time to present a view of that total
picture.
Unfortunately, it can be only an attempt,
for the subject is so great that it would take
a whole volume to tell the story of UBC's
closest relatione with the province which it
tries to serve. e
That service grows greater year by year,
day by day. More and more deserving
students from all of B.C. are being enabled
to attend the University. At UBC an
expanded course of gtudieg ig giving the
students better and better preparation for
the years when they will become citizens of
the province. Each year, a larger number
of graduates are taking up taskg vital to
the growth of B.C.
This province haa ita greatest years ahead
of it, and the University will be related
intimately with Its progress.
There is a sincere belief on the campus
that construction of the proposed War Memorial Gymnasium will help the University
to be of better service to British Columbia.
The Mummery
■y JABEZ
Once again the Totem people are busy
with their fall bleating about students not
having their pictures taken for. the annual.
Year by year these Totem photos provide
you with poignant evidence of the ravages
of higher education—the gradually deepening furrows on the brow, the greying temples,
the hunted look about the eyes—until you
finally come to your graduation picture,
which turns out badly blurred as a result
of the involuntary twitch you've developed.
I once had a Totem picture taken, having
been convinced by the glib editors that I
should have something to prove I had been
to college. This ghastly testimony now leers
out of a frame atop our radio in the living-
room, and haa been directly responsible for
guests hurrying home to drag their children
out of university before it wag too late.
I didn't look forward to having my photo
taken. I never do. I'm the sort who, instead
of beaming when suddenly confronted by a
sidewalk candid camera, darts wildly out
into the road and is' run oyer by a heavy
truck.
lite photographer seemed to feel the same
way I did about it, but we were caught in
the toils of a superior force. Muttering to
himself, he led me into his studio and sat
me on a kitchen chair. He wheeled over a
gleaming new camera, then approached me
to study my face, first one side, then the
other, with his lips pursed and his mind
obviously swarming with doubts. Shaking
his head, he returned to the new camera,
moved it aside, and drew forth from a cupboard an elderly wooden camera doddering
on its splayed tripod. This antique he placed
before me. He had chosen me to administer
the coup de grace. He was playing it safe
with his equipment, the dirty coward.
"Sit up straight," he said.
My vertebrae grated against the spokes
of the chair, as he switched on the glaring
floodlights.
"Your right shoulder is lower than your
left," he announced, in a loud, flat tone
probably reserved for his deformed, idiot
clients. "Lift it up. Now, look at that wall."
I stared at the wall, but my eyes soon
strayed involuntarily back to the camera.
Sure enough, the photographer was draping
it in black crepe, throwing it into mourning
before it was even in focus. He put his head
under the cloth, then hastily jerked it out,
his face white as a sheet.
"Try the other wall," fceeaid. "Quiok".
I uncorked the second profile. The white-
hot lamps were already beading my face
with perspiration, and I could sense the
points of my collar turning up like Persian
slippers. I felt vaguely like Humphrey
Bogart getting the third degree from the
mob.
"Smile," barked the photographer, and
my lips parted in a Bogart-type snarl of
defiance. You could see I wasn't going to
tell where I had hidden the secret plans.
You could also see that my twe upper front
teeth parted company at the roots and thereafter had nothing to do with one another,
creating an engaging gap for my tongue
to play in.
"Close your mouth." He sounded a bit
tired, now. Somehow I knew that he would
not ask me to watch for the birdie, not having a vulture in stock. He didn't. He snapped the shutter* while I wag gtill trying to
settle my aweat-smeared features into an
expreagion of intelligence.
Several weeks later I called for the results.
The photographer recognized me immediately, shrinking behind the counter.
"Do you want to see the proof?" he asked.
"What of?" I asked thickly, fearing that
the picture had revealed some trait that
linked me with Neanderthal Man. He presented me with a proof, saying: "We still
have to do some retouching, of course."
"Of course," I nodded, noting briefly that
I didn't photograph like a Man of Distinction.
I didn't photograph like a Man, even. Unless
the retoucher shaved me and shortened the
nose, I would go on record as the first Cocker
spaniel to get his B.A. from UBC.
Well, as I say, I have a print of that picture on the radio. My folks had it tinted by
a colorblind girl who needed the money,
and who gave my face a deep, ruddy hue
which compares too favorably with my
present complexion and awakens the visitor's suspicion that I am the victim of pernicious anaemia. Also, the green of the
collar ran a little, so that I seem to have
moss growing on the north side of my neck
Otherwise, it's a beauty.
Gwan, have your picture taken, I dare
you.
Two Courtenay Students
Operate Unique Setup
Pals from away back, Jerry Macdonald and Jack Hough
have a working agreement that Jerry is to take care of the
literary and academic side of their activities while Jack
handles the athletics. A glance at the record shows that their
pact seems to be working as well as anything on the campus.
Both claim Courtenay as their
PALS
home and it is there that this friendship has its roots. Throughout
their high school and their university they have become what may
bo properly termed ''inseparables,"
a situation which may be largely
accounted for by their parallel interests in music, athletics and
scholastic activities.
Music seems to have played a
dominant part in both their lives.
Both play the sax and tiie clarinet,
but Jerry claims tiie piano aa his
favorite.
In their scholastic efforts they
seem to have spilt the honors very
evenly. In 1943 Jerry was voted the
most outstanding all around student of Courtenay High School
while Jack made a follow-up with
the honor in 1M4.
In the athletic field Jack forged
ahead with Jerry running a clott
second. Basketball and skiing seem
to be his bright spots but he was
also very active in baseball, tooeer
and track and field.
With Vanity their respective interests flared forth again. Jerry is
at present in Sad year electrical
engineering while Jack sees a
medical career in the future.

is 'False*. If the clubs havt any

Dear Lenny:
They often tell us, Lenny, that there is a
life after death. If there is, then you must
be sitting off somewhere just across the road
from this world, wondering what in heck
UBC is beating its brains out about this
time.
If you're gtill cynical (I remember you
always liked taking pokea at hypocrites),
you are probably thinking: "Boy-O-boy,
that's just what I need, a 'living memorial'!
A gym, for instance, that you can all have
a damned good time in. Don't forget to put
my name on a scroll in tiie attic, though!"
The purpose of this letter, Lenny, is to
apologize to you and your comrades for
those (rare, I hope) people who regard the
whole memorial idea of the gym as just a
good healthy bluff to get money out of the
people of the province.
I admit that quite often you do have to
disguise things a bit; people might never
help us build a gym that didn't have a loftier
purpose than to provide floor-space for
basketball games. If we were just building
a straight memorial, it probably wouldn't
cost half a million dollars, either.
But you were an athlete yourself, Lenny,
and can appreciate the tie-in. The trouble
was, too darned many good athletes were
lost in tho war and perhaps the main idea of
having a gym instead of a cenotaph ia that
the gym will help replace them. Perhaps, too,
the new physical education instructors and
community leaders whom the university now
intends to train will be a sincere tribute to
the value of athletics in buildiag fighting
hearts and real men.
We can talk about your fightiag heart
Lenn, because some of your crew-mates
brought the story back. We know about
your last trip; how some strange fate picked
you out; how you lived for a Uttls while,
knowing you weren't going home this time;
and how you died quietly in a cold impersonal aircraft.
So, Lenny, whatever the new gym means
to anyone else, it means memories ef you to
all your pals out at Varsity.

JOKERS SUPPORT GYM
Civils increase,*
Work In Province
First graduating class at tht Ufc
C in 1922 contained IS Civil Engineers. The number rots steadily
until the war years when tht
number declined slightly because
of a larger demand for other typei
of engineers.
Civil engineering graduates usually are able to find employment
in British Columbia and, then-
work is to be teen in many projects throughout the province. The
Department of Transport, and
such civic bodies as local watot
boards employ a good perctntagt
of graduates.
During tht war tht professors or
civil engineering made themstlvtf
available to the armed forces for
consulation work. Moot of the
wartime graduates became technical officers in tht army.
The university maintains a materials-testing laboratory which
haa contributed txtremtly valuable information to Industry hi
the past. A naw laboratory la proposed which will render even better service.
BY BETTE WHITECROSS
(Kamloops, B. q,)
The University of British Columbia was the first university in the British Empire to establish a degree course
in nursing.
This may aeem a startling statu- '
ment fer a comparatively young
university, but In the calendar for
1919-20 it is stated: "It has been
determined to establish a Department ot Nursing In connection
with the Faculty of Applieu Science." McOill and ToronW tst-
ablishtd their nursing depart-
mania in 1920 through the co-operation of the Faculty of Medicine in eaoh university. UBC hat
carried on her courses without a
medical faculty or a hospital under its direction since the days of
the Fairview shacks.
OFFBBED CERTIFICATE EARLY
In 1919, owing to the Immediate
need for nurses in the public
health field, the Department of
Public Health was organized as a
separate department. This department offered a certificate course
to tiie graduate nurse aud wa»
later amalgamated with fhe nursing department. This waa the flrti
certificate course in public health
nursing to be offered at a unl?
vanity in Canada.
Tht Department of Nursing and
Public Health wu announced in
the Science building for many
years after moving to tht Point
Orey site. This year tht nurse*
art occupying converted army
huts near tht orchard. At in other faculties the classes art larger
than aver before with nurses
from army, navy, and airfares
taking advantage of re-establish-
meat grants,

Bare in British Columbia the

need for theta university trained

British Columbia's forest and
forest industries have been increased in value since the establishment of a Department of
Forestry at the University of
British Columbia in 1925.
Not only has the forest industr>
benifited by research done by the
department but also by the number of trained workers that have
graduated from tho University.
Over 90 per cent of tht universities graduates have stayed in B.L.
engaged in forestry work tor either private industry or the Government.
WORK IN HANEY
Work on the replacement of B
C. timber resources has recently
been done by tho department,^-
der the authority of the B.C. Research Council, in the district
north of Haney.
Members of the staff of the faculty are often engaged in fact
finding surveys for industry. Included ln these surveys art, general forest resource surveys, topographical surveys, and silviculture and forest management surveys.
Most provincial research in
wood utilisation has been carried
on by tht Vancouver Forest Products laboratory, but tho Department of Forestry has co-operated
with this lab In some of its research.
Pcnticton Students Call

There is no doubt that UBC needs a new gym. Varsity
also needg a war memorial — something to remind all students of the price paid by a good'percentage of those now
attending UBC, and the supreme pries, Ills Itself, paid by
some others who would have been here with ug had not fate
decreed that they should be the ones to "go ind not come
back."
JOKERS SUPPORT NEW GYM—Pyjama clad Jokers, come to classes In their pyjamas, but their distinctive blue

Electrical; Keep
Tab On Industry
One of the largest contributions
of the Electrical Engineering department to British Columbia is
providing for B. C.'s young people
the opportunity to get tho high
degree of training necessary in
technical fields.
The university has helped to keep
these high standards at tha tame
timt keeping ln touch with in-
dustny te make the training suitable. Several of tht professors of
the department are members ot
the Examining Board of professional engineers.
Contributions ht the field of radar were made by eloctewl em
gineers from UBC during that war.
Electrical engineers also served in
the Navy aa engineering officers.
To B. C. the electrical engineers
supply the technical skill to keep
our long lines of telegraphic and
telephonic communications open.
Without them ccmnmunlcattdR across the province could not eon-

Among tho Ptntlcton studam
veterans I mtt occasionally on tht
campus art tome who wtrt much

grounds at home. There's Bernard
Beesloy, Don Bertram, Bill Me-
Farland, Oeorge Pearson, Haiti*
Noel, Gordon and Bill Halcrow-
all kids I want through tohool
with.
Others, a little younger than 1,
but none the leas familiar friends,
are Nancy Macdonald, Hendrik
Padberg, Jean Halcrow, Alan Bat-
aley, Margaret and Slgmund Techy, and others.
These people will agree with mt
that "our Varsity" needs a new
gym.
We realize that tht people at
home art campaigning for thtlr
own War Memorial Centre—an indoor skating rink will be much
more fun and a batter guarantee
of skating than Guernsey's pond
ever waa.
Tht old Scout Hall is far too
small for tht crowds that attend
the winter basketball games.
But UBC also natda • naw gym.
Our present gymnasium it ne larger that tht Scout Hall, if anything a llttit smaller.
The population ot UBC is close
to MOO, almost tht present sisc
of Penticton, and about J000
greater than the population
of Penticton before the war, three
quarters of the students here use
the gym regularly. As I recall it
hardly ton per cent of the people
at home used tht gym. So you can
see our need.
There art a ftw other forme*

for, lads who would have bean out

I'm referring now to men like
Doug Bruce, who was shot down
over the Mediterranean; Grtgor
Moore, who sacrificed his life b>
crashing his own plane Into a

Jack Sammet and Bob McBeath,
who just "didn't come back." Then
there's Stan Steenaon feud Ted
Burton—their kites weren't ever
armed when they were shot down
I remember theta fellows best
because they were In my classes
in high school. Their education,
like that of a lot of ua, was Inter-
upted by the war. We came back
to complete it—they dldnt.
On their behalf, and on behalr
of those of us who did return, I'd
like to ask the people of Penticton
and district to "Help Build a Better British Columbia—Support tht

SCIENCE GRADS
WORKWITHATOMS
In the field of pure science University of British Columbia graduates have distinguished themselves in ways which
serve to benefit the world and British Columbia immeasurably, said Art Sager of the University Extension Department.
Graduates in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Botany and
Zoology have contributed extensively to wartime research
and British Columbia industry.
- In wartime research, Dr. G. M.
Volkoff, a UBC grad, headed the
group of Canadian scientists who
helped in the development of tht
atomic bomb.
NUCLEAR LAB
When tht physics building is
completed on tht UBC oamput it
will oontaln tht flats! lab for nuclear research ia Cawwlw, said Sager, and Dr. Volkoff will head the
scientists in totting applications of
tht by-products of tho radioactive
materials to medicine, agriculture
biology and ether fields.
Starting in the session of 1M5-46, a group
of male students on the campus of UBC
began to make a name for themselves. Originally only eleven In number, these veterans
soon gathered around themselves another
180 veteran and non-veteran students to
form the now world-famous Jokers' Club
of UBC.
Their name first became widely known
when, during inauguration ceremonies, Ace
Joker (president, that Is) Dave Hayward
was thrown Into a lily pond. A out on his
foot kept him in hospital for a time and put
the Jokers on the nation's front pages.
The Jokers then proceeded to put on two
or three stunts and the newspapers caught
hold of the idea. To quote Perth Webster,
present vice-president: "The papers got one
jump ahead of us and we spend the rest of
the year trying to keep up with them."
"Trying to keep up with them" entailed a
lot of work for thf Jokers. They had to prepare scripts for half-time entertainment at
all sports events on the campus, and at the
game time attempt to think up other stunts
so that they could retain their proper position ahead of the pi

Since Vancouver ia tht place
where the greatest building programs in tht provinot will bt carried out, tht department intends
to think in terms related to tht
scale of Vancouver at a growing
metropolis. It mutt bt dearly understood, however, said Prof. Lae-

the age-old art came when the Jokers persuaded a coed to swallow one. "No numbers
are available, but there was a distinct shortage of goldfish around here for a while,"
quipped Perth Webster.
Their name became known from London
to Manila.
From being a club originally designed
merely for competition in intra-mural gport,
the Jokers goon realized that they had tre-
mendoug potentialities. Their effortg became devoted entirely to the Gym Drive —
Speaking of Cards
to the tune of $4000. "Invasion" of New
Westminster, raffles, car parades, a show
in the Orpheum theatre, Joker ball, roller-
skate marathon, their big support of Visitors' Day and many "stunts" added pep and
money to the university's memorial drive.
Still keeping their eye on their original
idea, the Joker'a sportsmen copped for their
many teams the cup for the highest aggregate points in the intra-mural setup. Prominent on this year's list of sportsmen are
footballers Rex Wilson, Dmitri Goulebef,
Gus Sainas, Dave Storey; hoekeyist Bob
Smith; English ruggermen Harvey Allen,
Barry Morris; tennis player Dave Sparling
and swimmef Lou Atwell.

Navy while working on wartimt

The British Columbia Scientific
and Industrial Research Council,
directed by Dr. Maddigsn, Is working in close contact with UBC. Only fundamental research ls done
on the campus, but the Research
Council will take lt through what
is called the "Pilot Plant Stage"
and apply it to such B.C. industries as fishing, lumbering, agriculture, mining and all other primary fields.

Many important contributions
have been made to other fields by
UBC graduates. Dr. R. C. Palmar,
at the experimental station at Summerland, discovered that a lack cf

Co-ed Sport Corner
By BETTY STUART
THE WOMEN'S CHANCE TO HOWL
A recent poll among the members of the Publication
Board sports desk disclosed the fact that very few women
had written a column for the Sports page; complete foreigners
from the City desk—yes. But few women. Come boys, something must be done about this. The coed is indubitably here
to stay.
Let us cheer for the little coed who broke through the
Varga covered wall surrounding the Sports Editor's desk.
My career as a pubster has been short and slightly involuntary. A freshette, faced with the incontrovertible fact
that articles were a prerequisite to not being evicted from
the Pub, I rather offhandedly wrote some excellent articles
on coed grasahockey, tennis, indoor track and other games
which UBC coeds are continually occupied with.
The Sports Ed. Matters
Our late, great Sports Editor, whose body is still un-
buried somewhere in the campus, pushed my career along
rapidly. This year's boss, a different type altogether, will,
appreciate a picture of Lena the Hyena for his Varga girl
collection tmore than my thanks for his smoothing my path
with his little pneumatic drills.
I do not profess to be a long-frustrated columnist. I do
not even profess to be a sports scribe. But, I will not proceed
to romp merrily through an account lof 'my day', to fill it
with something, you understand. Actually, Sports Editors
frown on it, and besides, Mother thinks I still go to lectures.
A column hiding in the Sports page should chatter on
some sporting subject. The one at hand, and inviting the
best possible comeback is the Gym Drive.
The Girls Are Interested
Contrary to rumors spread by first and second year coeds
(who are obliged to take P. E. and loathe it because swimming ii the only thing that will fit their timetable and the
Crystal Pool is ten miles away), UBC women students are
quite as strongly interested in the Memorial Gym Drive as
uie men.
We women seem to get the small end of the stick rather
often. Take, for instance, the case of the Women's Rifle club
who long for a decent range on the campus; the hoop girls
who sigh for a gym where they and the men will have a
practice court apiece, and the little coeds who struggle with
their girdles in the cramped locker room.
There are 1800 women students at UBC; approximately
half of them take some form of Physical Education. There
are three hoop teams, three grass hockey teams, several
swimming classes, scores of badminton-minded lassies, prospective champion archers and fencers. Were opportunity
provided, might not many more of our coeds, reluctant to
squabble over the gym floor or trek down to the Crystal
pool, become fanatical sporsters and bring fame to the hall
of our Memorial Gymnasium?
Intramurals Are (Thriving
And now a few words about the Intramural system. It
can hardly compare to the men's system in size, but its
scope is just as large and includes all the aforementioned
sports as well as bowling, softball, plus indoor and outdoor
track events.
Speaking of outdoor track reminds us the UBC sportsmen and women move indoor at this time, pursued by
Vancouver's imported Queen Charlotte Islands mist.
Wind and weather will not bother us in our new gym-'
nasium, so forward, girls, on with the Camgaign! And remember, boys, when you're making up those ambitious plans
for the Memorial Gym, never underestimate the power of
a womon or a UBC coed with a trophy just beyond her reach.

SHOW VARIED INTERESTS
By AILSA CROIL
The Girls' Intramurals already underway are tennis,
volleyball, basketball, swimming, and bowling. Golf, which
was to have taken place during the fall term, has been postponed until spring. Archery, softball, track, table tennis,
and badminton will all take place in the spring term.
TENNIS
Grad Manager
Has Busy Time
One of the busiest men on the
campus today lis a gentleman who
has never known any other life
than a busy one. When it was announced that Varsity Would this
yeah have a graduate manager of
athletics, it seemed that Luke
Moyls was just the man'for the
job.
Luke has certainly had experience of the kind that is necessary
for the new position on the campus. Combined with a rather
tough graduating course, the Publications Board of the Ubyssey kept
him busy throughout his life at
UBC.
For the last two years, Luke was
Sports Editor of the sheet whtn
he became famed for his well-
LUKE MOYLS
... a reel worker
known column, "the Gospel, according to Luke Moyls."
As graduate manager of athletics, Luke becomes practically a
right hand man to Bob Osborne,
Director of Physical Education.
Luke is in charge of all publicity
for the teems on the icampus, whether travelling or at home.
Moyls is hardly green in the field
of publicity. Besides working on
the Ubyssey, he has been affiliated with the News Herald for three
years.
Varsity Powerful
In Grass Hockey
With Varsity taking a 4-1 win
over Vancouver at Brockton Point
and UBC managing a 3-1 score
against North Shore, the men's
grass hockey club has well begun
the season.
Presidency of the Club is in the
hands of Ned Larsen who has been
associated with grass hockey on
the campus since its revival a year
ago.
The league functioned smoothly
all last season with Varsity capturing first place at its end. The
experience of some of the Old
timers, notably Dr. Warren, Coney
and Dick Williams-all UBC Grads
—was of great help to members
of the university club, many of
'whom were new to the game.
FIVE TEAMS
Benefitting from last year the
cstmpus hockeyists now have two
strong learns for this season. The
present City League brings five
teams into play. Another team is
telng organized to even up the
entrants to a six team league.
The Varsity team line up is as
follows: Nick Herrick, Ned Larsen, Dave Pudney, Bruce Benham,
Walt Swing, Don Currie, Stefan
Arnason, Joe Augustus, Tony Mc-
Lauglan, Stan Tower and John
Bradshaw.'
UBC players are Eric Greenius in
goal, Arnold Greenius, Dave Morgan, Bob Paul, Art Hill, Elmer
Cheng, Tom Wilkinson, Norm
Grieve, Norm Tupper, Les Bullen
and Joe Piercy. •
Piercy is handling the interfaculty matches this winter which feature weekly lunch hour games be.
tween Arts, Science, Geology and
Applied Science.
Players from out of town in the
Hockey Club are Elmer Cheng who
haito from Llllooet, Mai Macdonald
and Allen Brooks from Vernon,
and Dave Pudney from the Island.
Tennis intramurals got off to a
good start at the opening of Varsity but has come to a stand still
now—thanks to the impossible
Vancouver weather. The first sets
have progressed to the Second
round in the singles but the
doubles have not yet started. AU
girls taking part in ' the tennis
intramurals are reminded that the
tournament must be completed by
November 15.
VOLLEYBALL
The volleyball girls are hard at
it every Friday noon in the gym.
They go after that ball as if all
life hung between it and the net-
it can do just that in some of
those rowdy games. As the score
stands, Arts I and Arts III are
deadlocked for first place. The
Arts II and Commerce teams are
close behind.
BASKETBALL
On Tuesday noon the gym is
taken over by the basketball enthusiasts. The girls really run
themselves ragged in those games.
As the battle of the hoop
ceases for a moment, it appears
that the Home Ec. and Arts III
girls are tied for first piece with
the Aggies and Nurses teams close
behind.
BOWLING
The bowling tournament Is to
start this week. All girls who are
interested are asked to get in touch
with their intramural captains.
The tournaments will probably be
held on Fridays at about 4:30, at
one of the down-town alleys.
SWIMMING
A tentative date has been set foe
the splash party—November 30 at
the Crystal Pool. It will be a
mixed party and will be rim on an
intramural basis. There will be relays as well as individual events
such as diving and stunts.
CAPTAINS
Jean MacKinnon looks after the
Arts I girls while Joy Curran manages the Arts II team. Arts III
pnd IV are under captains Nora
McDermott and Eilleen McKillop
respectively, Peggy Bowe manages
the Home Ec. girls and Sheila
Hicks the Aggie girls. The Commerce team is run by Mary Sainas
and the Nurses by Elaine DeLisle.
The Graduates are headed this year
by Mary Ann Norton.
BUSY BOY-Pictured above is
cne of "the best known figures on
the campus today. He is Herb
Capozzi from Kelowna, B.C. Besides captaining the newly formed
American football squad, Herb is
an old reliable on the basketball
courts. He is also secretary of the
Men's Athletic Directorate.
Boxers Feature
Future Greats
The Boxing Club has followed
a very checkered career on the
campus but it's sporadic character seems to be definitely settling
down into a steady life.
The club has a strong slate of
fighters to enter the field this year.
Numerically, the lightweight class
is the best represented, through the
heavy class has a strong contender
in Phil Olson, last year's club
president and runner-up for the
West Coast Golden Gloves Heavyweight title. Olson is a heavy hitter who haild from Hope, B.C.
Fleming McConnel will represent
the novice entry in this class.
John Hamilton is filling the
middle weight bill since Art Beaumont made his exodus to the welter division where he carries one
of the bright hopes of the club for
a title this seaaon.
LIGHTWEIGHTS STRONG
The lightweight class has a strong
panel of talent. Southpaw Wally
Gray, present club president, holds
top spot.
Danny Oliver looks good in
workouts and plenty of speed is
carried by Jim Casey. A few fights
will give Jim the necessary experience to put him in the top
notch bracket. Len Turner rounds
cut the lightweight quartet.
In the featherweight division thc
club boasts a couple of ex-navy
boys in Jack Mather and Harry
Monroe.
"The Memorial Gymnasium is a
wonderful solution to the overcrowded conditions of our club",
stys President Wally Gray. "'The
club is right behind the drive for
funds and plans to put on benefit
fights for this worthy cause when
conditions permit."

UBC has also contributed two
fine grid coaches to the local sport
scene. Johnny Farina was awarded a Big Block in 1939, '41 and '42
for his Canadian football activities.
Ranji Mattu, mentor of the Vancouver Blue Btombers, wears a Big
Block for his activities in Canadian Football in 1940 and '41 and
in 1939 and '40 for English rugby.
Last year two more University
personalities—Johnny Owen, stadium boss, and Dr. Gordon Shrum,
head of the University Extension
Department—were awarded honorary AkuBlocks.
Two Co»ed Hoopla Teams
For Action In City Leagues
Approximately 20 amazing young UBC coeds are representing their university in the yearly hoop battle for city
and provincial trophies. The members of this group of comely-
lasses have come from many points in British Columbia to
make "p terms which they expect will surpass last years
efforts.
The quintettes playing in the V
and D Minor League under thc
names of Intermediate A and Senior A. have well-experienced
coaches to guide them. Ruth Wilson ot the Senior A's is a UBC
graduate and former coach and
member of Hedlunds.
Sparking the Senior A's is experienced hooper Mearnie Summers, absolutely the star of the
team, in the girls' opinion. Playing
center spot with Mearnie is Dave
Campbell's sister, Doreen, who
holds record height in the team.
TWIN GUARDS
Guards Daryl and Dorothy Vincent will be familiar to hoop followers from their performances
with Shores last year. These identical twins are so hard to tell
apart that they have to be numbered 6 and 9.
Rounding out the group are Nora
MbDermott, Winnie TaU, Phebe
Manley, Pat Macintosh and Pat
Gardiner, all from last year's team.
Eileen McKillop, sole ex-service
member, played for the B. C.
Championship team three years
ago,
Distant home towns seems to be
the rule with members of the
Inter A's. Chiliiwack is well represented by crack shots Elaine De-
Lisle and June Brett. Betty Gray,
spotted in many campus activities,
comes from Vernon and Ann Carney from Kelowna High.
TALENT GALORE
Duke of Connaught (New Westminster) contributions are Jane
Pendleton and Marlon Bennett, and
from Burnaby South comes Betty
Crooks. A few members call Vancouver their home town, Marie
Sommers having played Inter A
for USC two years ago, Mary Ny-
holm for Shores and Jackie Sheer-
man for the UBC Inter A's.
Vajda Coaches
Varsity Skiers
Every sport at the University ol
B.C. is planning on a championship trophy winning year and
judging from reports, the Ski Club,
working with the Varsity Outdoor
Club, has the nucleus of one of the
best ski teams in Western Canada's
history.
Under the expert guidance of renowned Peter Vajda, the ski team
is rapidly approaching the peak of
perfection. Daily cross-country
races, Friday night calisthenic
classes and week-end skiing classes
when snow conditions are suitable,
are the rules laid down by Peter.
Several dozen noted skiers, like
Garvin Robinson, Arnie Teasdale,
Gordy Cowan, Don Anderson, John
Frazee, Gerry Reynolds, Denny
McKimn and many others are
turning out for practices like clockwork and, if they don't win, it
won't be from not trying.
A heavy ski schedule, starting
this Sunday at Mt. Baker, will get
the actual skiing lessons under
way. Another first for UBC will be
a special ski train expedition
which will include every member
of the Ski Team and many VOC
members. It will leave for Revel-
stoke around December 27 where
special instruction on jumping,
slalom and downhill will be carried out under direction of Mr,
Vajda.
Other instruction will be carried
out on Grouse Mountain .starting
early in January. Vajda will be
assisted in these undertakings by
several qualified members of the
ski team.
Additional lectures on ski technique, ski safety and other important facts will be carried out on
the Campus at a later date.

Rugger Squads
Leading Circuit
By HAROLD MURPHY
Upholding the Blue and Gold
traditions this year has been taken
over with a vengeance by the English Rugby teams. The turf ot
Brockton Bowl has felt the im-
pnct of winning student teams each
Saturday afternoon this fall sea-
much to the chagrin of all
son,
the other teams in the Miller Cup
race.
' Enrly this fall the powerful turnout of interested players indicated
a big year for rugby, and Coach
Roy Haines had considerable difficulty in choosing the lineups for
the two first division teams. The
lesult has been very satisfactory
and both UBC and Varsity, as the
two teams are named, are evenly
balanced machines.
VASITY WINS
When the two groups finally met
in the Stadium, UBC held Varsity
very well for most of the game
and it was cnly in the last few
minutes of the game that the
weight and experience of the Varsity team triumphed.
Both teams feature veteran Ruggers who are well known on the
campus. Last year's players who
are on the Varsity lineup include
stocky Hart Crosgy, Ray Grant,
Bud Spiers, Harvey Allen, Barrie
Morris, Geoff Corey, and Bill Dun.
bar. The UBC lineup also includes
famillaritites such as Kabush,
Wotherspoon, Braid, Moon and
many others.
Of particular interest however
are the many newcomers, mostly
out-of-towners, who are starring
this season. The Varsity lineup is
featured by a former member of
the Crimson Tide, Russell Latham.
OUT-OF-TWNERS
Oak Bay is represented on the
UBC team by Scott Kerr who has
been more than holding the scrum
together.
The speedy form of Jim McKeachie, who last year graced the corridors of Victoria College, is nn
ever present potential threat to
the opponents of the UBC team.
Another Victoria CoUege man is
Denis Crockett, who this year is
managing the hustling UBC squad.

Vancouver league, and the McKechnie Cup, symbolic of British
Columbia championship, will remain on tlip campus for another
Ivor Wynne, who halls from
Hamilton where he played quarterback in football and captained

Jack Pomfret, a Lord Byng and
University of Washington boy, is
assisting Greg Kabat in piloting
the Thunderbird football team. He's
coaching hoop teams as well.
On the female side of the department, Miss Marian Henderson takes
over as directeor. She is a Toronto
girl with basketball and softball
as her favorite sports.
Assisting in the department is
Miss Jean Carmichael who has a

The maple court experts are at

of the V and D Basketball League

have taken to tossing around the
old melon again. The Birdmen
have not and will not be playing
any conference games until after
Christmas, but their little brothers ln the Inter B, Inter A, and
Senior B Leagues will be well on
the road to victory by that time.
The Inter B hoopsters had a little trouble getting started, but
now that they are on their way,
arid under the able tutelage ot
Coach Frank Turner, good results
are forecast.
The Inter A league was filled
to overflowing from the first
practice held. The freshman laddies have already played a few
games in the city, and are fresh
from a victory over Arrows last
Thursday night.
The Inter A upperclassmen have
had one loss in one start, but this
is definitely not any indication of
things to come.
The Senior B's, sometlime.

Northwest Conference Football Loop
By CHICK TURNER
Thunderbird football entered a new phase this season, when Varsity switched its alle*
giance from -the Western Intercollegiate Union to the Pacific Northwest Conference. The
change, pointing towards an eventual affiliation with the bigtime Pacific Conference loop,
entailed an alteration in football tactics to the American code, with its quicker pace and
field-length blocking.
The Blue and Gold after completely dominating the basketball setup in the PNWC last
season went into the grid season as heavy underdogs. Coach Greg Kabat, pilot of the 1945
edition of the Thunderbirds who swept to the Hardy Cup at the expense of the University

have a very definite effect on
some of the clubs, have been passed by the intramural committee.
These rules state "that any member of a Varsity team which engages in outside competition, shall
not be allowed to participate in
that sport in Intramurals," and
that, "no man playing American
Football or English Rugby shall
be allowed to play touch football
in the intramural setup."
These rules were drawn up because it was felt that if a man
plays on a Varsity team he will
be getting all the play he needs,
whereas others have an opportunity to play In intramurals only.
The volleyball league is well under way now, and It is hoped
that in about a week or so the
scores can be posted. Touch football is also being played at present.
The basketball season will not
be officially under way until after
Christmas, but lots of enthusiasts
can be seen in the Gymnasium,
practicing their shooting and passing. Basketball Is probably one of
the main sports that will be effected by the new ruling, that outside players can not play intramurals.
Fish, Game Club
Latest Addition
Newly organized on the campu*
is the Fish and Game Club, brain
child of Ralph Shaw, former president of the Calgary Junior Fish
and Game Association.
The Club already has a membership of approximately 50 members, with indications showing
plenty more to come. All of the
students have their own special
interests, but whether their tastes
lie in fishing, duek shooting, or
big game stalking, they will have
their appetites filled through benefit of the club's various subdivisions.
Hockeyists Enter
Junior Puck Loop
Despite the wilting 11-2 drubbing
they received at the hands of the
Vancouver White Spots in the Forum last Wednesday night during
their Inaugural game in the Pacific
Coast Junior Hockey League, the
University of British Columbia
Thunderbirds are not overly discouraged.
They point out that the Spots
had been organized for a longer
period and have had more practices. Then, too, the Thunderbirds
are having trouble icing a team
that fits the requirements of this
over-under age league.
Teams must be composed of seven players of junior age and the
other seven must be under 23 years
of age as of November 1. All of
the UBC juniors have been signed
up as there were very few
SAUNDERS STARS
Of the over.age boys, the star
of the fast moving centerman is
Bob Sa'unders, who played for
Vernon and won a Big Block with
his flashy manouevering with the
UBC team in the Industrial League
last year.
Terry Nelford, who pucked with
Prince Albert Black Hawks, and
Owen Woodalde, an old stalwart
of Johnny Clark's junior team,
compose the first string defense.
Stewart Johnson, smooth-skating
forward from Copper Cliff, promises to be a great help to the Blue
and Gold. Jim Bowledge, a last
year UBC iceman, and Hugh Berry, from Moose Jaw Canucks, are
two other forwards who turned
in speedy performances last Wednesday night.
To finish off this list of the outstanding players, Bob (Shut-out)
Smith must not be forgotten. Last
year Bob handled himself very
capably in the net and this year
will be first choice for the 'Birds
again.
Linemen of yester year who returned to don the gear were lead
by big Herb Capozzi, king of the
Okanagan. Other stalwarts of the
front wall were Bill Mcintosh,
Gus Sainas and Alex Lamb.
Kabat's roster was swayed by the
addition of two swivle-hipped
backfielders who gained their
cleat lore while packing a pigskin
on an English rugger field. Reid
and Nesbit have consistently turned in stellar performances for the
squad, and between them they
have accounted for 27 points.
KABAT COACHES
The coaching staff is headlined by
Kabat, a great football player in
his own day when he filled the
slot of guard on the Wisconsin
eleven from 1931 to 1933. In 1932
he was rated an All-American,
and the football wizardry he gathered in the Big Ten has been gradually Inculcated Into the playing
of his inexperienced charges.
Jack Pomfret, a B.C. boy who
made good in the athletic circles
of the University of Washington
as a star on the basketball and
football teams, and incidentally
cracked a world record in the
50 yard breaatstroke, has returned
to the land of his birth to take
up duties as Assistant-Coach.
PROVINCE REPRESENTED
Although the nucleus of the team
hails from the metropolis, a few
gridders have come from far and
wide in the province to play ball
for the university. Aside from the
Capozzi brothers, Herb and Joe,
there are Phil Nixon who considers
Victoria hit homo town, Hank
Sweatman from Duncan, and
Bill Mitchell who bases himself ln
Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Two Roundball
Squads Active
By BUD HARFORD
The university soccer taems, Varsity of the first division and UBC
oi the second division of the Vancouver and District League, ore
propping for their biggest season
in the last decade.
With the appointment of UBC
graduate and ex-Coast leaguer,
Millar McGill as head coach, with
the return from the services of
many former players, a team of
Coast League calibre is expected
to be developed.
MANY RETURN
Many returning members of last
year's Varsity team include Grant
Moreton In goal, Jack Cowan, Gus
MacSween and Armand Temoin on
defence, and Stu Todd, Pat Harrison and Pat Campbell on the
forward line.
Welcome to the Varsity fold this
year are Hank Sager from Kerris-
dale, Ken Myers and Stan Nicol
from Vancouver United, Jimmy
Gold from Nanaimo, last year's
UBC rookies Stew Wilson, Gordy
Shepherd and Bill Thomas, and
finally Dave Thompson, Varsity
stalwart of years gone by.
NEWCOMERS
The UBC team is made up mostly of newcomers: Jack Sttveha and
Cliff Midwinter from tht Island,
Mike Moran and Bui Berry frees
the Fraser Valley, and Bobby
Moulds, Hugh Ross, Murdo McKay,
and Jack Blackball fresh frOa
high, school soccer teams. Last

SUN LIFE OF CANADA ,11-'

By LAURIE DYER
SPORT AND THE COLLEGE LIFE
What is it that makes coUege life what it is? Whatever
that certain something is, a great deal of it is shown at a
footbaU game when the Stadium grandstand is thronged with
screaming coUege guys and gals, banners streaming out,
and two great teams colorfully arrayed on a green turf—
fighting with all they have for the Alma Mammy. Yes, there
seems to be some link between that intangible "coUege spirit"
and the "world of sport"
And for that very reason, Bob Osborne has done a great
deal to put sport on a big time scale on the campus during
the last two years.
Last year, it was basketball that brought Varsity into e
higher operations in the world of sport.. This year, with the
entry of Varsity into the Pacific North West Conference
American footbaU schedule, UBC has taken one more step
towards higher recognition.
Mitt Fortune Hat Frowned
It's very true that the team has not had too much luck
as yet, but when we remember that this is the first year that
the boys have ever played the American code, they are doing
a great job. No team has as yet "slaughtered" the Blue and
Gold squad. AU of them have been impressed by the show
put on by our lliunderblrds.
However, ii can not be said that Varsity has not played
basketball before. Last year, they went out and proved it to
the teams ln the Conference by trouncing them all soundly
and walking of! the maples after the final game with the
honours tucked safely away.
So now the 'Birdmen are nearly ready to take to the
maples again to defend their hoopla title against teams which
have been strengthened a great deal since last year. Although many of the old reliable stars have left, mere are
plenty of promising newcomers who have returned from
last year's roster.
Breathing It Forbidden
Once again, we come to the old problem of where we
aro going to put the fans that want to see the Thunderbirds
in action. It is rumoured that the gym will hold 1500 fang
but that doesn't allow for breathing apace.
That isn't the only reason that UBC wants a gym. Imagine a coUege with a population of 8,000 with a gym that
can have approximately 50 people on the floor at one time.
That means that there are sue men at each of the hoops
and the rest are playing marbles in the small circle in the
centre of the floor.
The plans for a new gym would include a swimming
pool, geparate hoop courts, voUeybaU and handbaU courts
and aU the other things that a good gym should have. AU
this and room for 8,000 enthusiastic fang to git and yeU for
the dear old Blue and Gold.
A Gym It Mott Suitable.
Besides, what could be a more suitable War Memorial.
It's something that the University needs that the Province
can be proud of.
I heard a story recently about a group of youngsters
that have a club called the "6400" club because they live in
that block on West 13th Ave. here in the city.
Every year, for the past four years, these kids have had
some kind of a carnival to raise money for the Red Cross
or some other worthy cause.
Last spring, a representative of the club walked into the
gym and produced $25.00 that he said was to be put towards
the Gym Fund.
They Did Their Part
The members of that club received nothing for their
thoughtfulness except a receipt and a thank you. Yet they're
happy because they know that they have helped to buUd
a gym that they wiU be able to use some day.
It t>eems to me that they deserve a lot of credit. When
a bunch of youngsters can be so interested, surely the rest
of us can get behind this thing and push it over the lop.
But then I guess talking can only do so much. Action
is more to the point. Just remember, Tuum Est.—It's up
to YOU. '
SOCCERMEN IN DUAL WIN
Blue and Gold soccer teams
went on a scoring spree over the
weekend, amassing a total of 12
counters in two contests. UBC
playing on tht eampus completely
outclassed the Postal Servlcw
crew by downing them 7-0, while
Varsity, not to be outdone by
their second division brothers,
smothered the rugged Chinese
student squad 5-1 in tht ftaturc
V and D game at Larwill Perk.
The first counter required pe*
feet teamwork. Thompson's driving shot hit the crossbar but centre Bill Thomas, backing up the
play, made no mistake with the
rebound. This was the only score
in the first half but the students
had much the better of the play.
As the second half opened the
Pender Street men took advantage of a quick opening of pla^
to knot the score at 1-1, Freddy
Soon being the marksman. Frou.
this point on the game was all
Varsity's. Being unable to keep
pace or solve our intricate passing
plays the Chinese Students resorted to bodily play, the btui being the secondary factor.
Stan Nicol converted a penalty
kick to put the Blue and Gold out
in front 2-1.
Immediately after the goal sev
eral irate members of the Chinese
team and their Pender Street fani
questioned the ability of ths referee, causing a near riot.
On the resumption of play thtrt
was no holding the College Kidt
as first Pat Harrison .trtuked in
from his right wing slot to notch
the third marker, to be quickly
followed by Gordy Shepherd's
conversion of Hank Sager's pass
Bill Thomas notched his second
marker a few minutes before full
time for the final tally.
At the Campus, UBC playlna
under their new coach Percy
Paige for the first time, romped
to an easy win as they scored at
will over the Postal crew. Jack
Blackball started the ball rolling
on a smart play soon after the
opening of the game. Bill McKay
then proceeded to get himself a
hat trick, converting two of the
counters before the half time
breather and the final one on a
pass from Blackall shortly after
the resumption of play In the second half.
Intramural Cross Country
Tomorrow's Sports Event
The annual roadrace of the campus, the Intramural Cross
Country run slated for tomorrow, headlines the sport picture
this week, sharing attention with the Varsity Thunderbirds'
final home game on Saturday afternoon against the Linfield
CoUege gridmen.
Although individual entries are accepted and encouraged,
the battle of endurance is waged between upwards of 25
intramural organizations who wiU be vieing for top points.

Rampant Logger Backfield
Kayoes 'Bird Grid Squad
By HAL TENNANT
TACOMA—Not even a 175-mile jaunt by a foUowing of
faithful fans was sufficient to cast the UBC Thunderbird grid
team out of the depths of cellar-dwelling despair. The inexperienced underdogs of the Pacific Northwest Inter-Collegiate
football loop went down in a 34-6 deluge when they met the
CoUege of Puget Sound Loggers at Tacoma on Saturday
38a=g= afternoon.
Big Four Battle
Still Unsettled
Decisions by tho UBC Thunderbird grid team and the University's athletic directorate may yet
stand in the way of tha proposed
challenge game between the top
team in the Big Four grid loop
and the American-coded aggregation.
Either the 'Birds themselves or
the directorate has the power to
give a thumbs down to engaging
in such a short notice affair against the Canadian-playing pigskin artists.
'Bird coach Greg Kabat would,
in the event of the Big Four challenge being accepted, have only a
scant six days to remould his
charges into a reasonable facsimile of a Canadian team. Such reorganization would include the addition of a blocking back, since in
American grid there just ''ain't no
such animal."
NOT POLICY
There is more than one reason
that the Thunderbirds might answer the challenge with a definite
negative, since it is the policy of
the team to play only Inter-collegiate games. Exams, too, /rill be
giving the gridders more tnan enough to think about right at th<
time when the proposed contest
would have to be played.
The Men's Athletic Directorite
of the University hopes that the
proceeds ot such a battle, if such
game ever' comes off, would gi
to swell the coffers of the UBC
Memorial Gym Fund. Whether the
officials of the City League would
play under these conditions is not
known.
Vic Martineau was one Tacoma
boy that wrought havoc in thc
'Birds nest. The flashy CPS back-
fielder toted the leather off tackle for the first scon of tht afternoon, and followed through In thc
following stanza with a similar
end for the speedy Taooman In thi
third canto for another six potato
AU In all the mighty Mr. M
frustrated many Thunderbird past
attempts with his tllmely interceptions, and accounted for IE
markers on the CPS side of the
scon sheets.
8S-YD. RUN
Harry Manfleld is the lad wl*.
now has an 85-yard pay-off gaii
lop to his credit, a Jaunt that put
up the final touchdown polntage
for the home team. And hustling
Harry can also claim an assist
foi CPS tally ln the second quarter, since he hurled a surprise attack pro pass to teammate Ed
Huntington, leaving the latter but
Inches to run for the cVosslng.
Tom Ruffin's educated ^eda
digit was responsible tot **»o oi
the afternoon's tallies, but Ruffin's
activities were not confined te
ihe ancient art of bootery. He
also tossed a convert into the
'Bird sanctuary, and managd a
45-yard one-man crusade against
the visiting Blue and Gold gridders.
REID, NESBIT AGAIN
Champions in the Thunderbird
camp were the old reliables, Reio
and Nesbit. This time it was Reld
who received the lion's share ot
the laurels for his second stanza
offensives. The bonnle fullback
laddie hurled an underhand forward pass to Nesbit to brhu the
play to the CPS twenty, then personally carried the ball in twe
more plunges, going right through
the forward line of Loggers in
the second trip to make with the
touchdown.

VARSITY RUGGERS DOWN
10MAS IN OVALECONTEST
Campus Ruggermen split the weekend bill as Varsity
shut out Meralomas 6-0, and last place Rowing Club got its
first win, 12-11 over UBC.
At Brockton Bowl, rugby fans witnessed one of the best
games of thc season as the two league leaders gave their all
for a win. «_»^_——————
Varsity was not scored upon although 'Lomas threatened throughout most of the game and on three
occasions had good opportunity to
score on penalty kicks. Ace 'Lorna
booter Jock White couldn't get
control of the ball, however, and
the campus men mantained their
lead.
In the first half Russ Latham
scored on a penalty kkk for the
first points, and at the half the
score was still 3-0.
In the second half the two teams
turned on their power. Sparked by
Holden, the 'Lorna three line
tlireatened many times but Varsity
fullback Bill Dunbar saved the
day on more than one play.
FORWARDS FAST
Led by fast moving forwards,
the students msde the score 6-0
when Gerard Kirby went over the
line but the kick was wide.
Holding the three line together
was diminutive Pete Hobson, who
turned in a stellar performance
until he was Injured half way
through the game. In the second
period the play fell more on the
forwards. Alex Carlyle, tht two
Kirby's, and Hart Crosby showed
up particularly well.
The backfield played a steady
game, particularly In the first half,
and all the threes had a share In
the battle.
In the Stadium, a handful of
spectators watched a renewed
Rowing Club fifteen walk all over
an outclassed UBC squad. Although UBC threatened to tie the
score in the last few minutes of
the game, they lacked polish in the
first half and appeared disorganized
throughout most of the game.
ROWERS OPEN
Taking a penalty kick in the
opening half, Rowers opened the
scoring early, and had soon crashed
over for two more trys. UBC scored finally when Jack Armour raced
over on the end but the attempted
convert was no good.
In the second half th« campus
crew settled down a little but after
a fumble near centre field, the red
.shorted Rowers made no mistakes
and after a five-yard scrum, went
over again. None of their kicks
were good. Varsity ran up a few
more points when Tisdale went
over, and later Buddy Lott plunged over again. George Biddle split
the posts for the convert.

Hailing from Banff, Alberta,
Wheeler was captain of the English rugby team last seeson. His
enthusiasm and good sportsmanship went far to make the squad
what it was.

UBCs second feminine grasn
hockey eleven carried off a 2-1
win against North Van in Saturday afternoon's game at Connaught Park.
Both teams kept the bell rolling
up and down the field in theii
