THE KIDDIES CRIED today as Uhcle Les Bewley, far famed author of The Children's Hour was turned out into the stony cold world. For almost ten years Uncle B. eluded the Chancellor's tap and amused thousands of UBC kiddies in the column's of The Ubyssey. With An LL.B In Hand 'Uncle B' To Face Cold, Cold World By GEORGE ROBERTSON . Albert Leslie Bewley — Uncle B to the thousands of readers he has acquired as a columnist with the Daily Ubyssey — stepped yesterday into the grim outside world with the initials Ll. B. after his name. Botanical Garden At UBC Considered By Administration Botany and Horticulture courses may literally blossom forth at UBC. Possibility of an extensive Botanical Garden on or near the campus i.s being considered by university officials. According to Dr. T. Taylor, UBC botanist, the mild coastal climate of lower Brii'is'h Columbia is ideal for many varieties of plant life. More varieties bloom all year round here than anywhere else in Canada, he said. Outdoor labs will be provided for such courses as Landscape Architecture, Floriculture, Silviculture, Tree and Plant Breeding, Ecology and Entomology if the Botanical Garden becomes a reality. At present, UBC has a small Botanical Garden 'covering about ten acres which contains a collection of native and exotic trees. It was a great occasion , for thc bow-tied, mustached law student, because he entered his freshman year at University back in 1939. Since then, he had risen to editorial ranks with the Daily Ubyssey, joined the navy, became a staunch Tory, and achieved a reputation as star columnist. Veteran pubsters remember Bewley as the man who casually inserted a personal ad in a downtown paper, reading "Adventurous woman wanted for Machiavellian intrigue. Call—". He i.s also remembered as the man who set in motion a giant campaign to raise a memorial to Eric Nicol, a rival columnist. Bewley went on a one-man stump campaign to raise the money, shaking bottles at the entrance to the Brock and the Library. Finally, one spring evening, thc placque was unveiled in the north end of Brock Hall, by the late Dr. G. G. Sedgewick. It reach ''Loving memory of Jabez, (Erie P. Nicol) beloved campus humorist, who for a full decade gave to his fellow men the priceless gift of laughter." The wording, at the time was quite apt, but little freshettes are becoming worried. The other clay two of them were looking at the plaque and one said, "Didn't he die young." Stacks of Scholarships Open to UBC Students UBC Extension Department^" this week made public scholarships and bursaries available at UBC. One UBC student has already taken advantage of the B. C. Exchange Scholarship for a student from St. John's College, Cambridge. Value of tlie scholarship is $1000 a year for two years. Arts student Paul Gilmore, a student here last' year, has gone to Cambridge under the plan. James Michael McNamara was the recipient this year of the $300 T. E. and M. E. Ladner Memorial Scholarship. McNamara is a veteran with three children. 'Tween Classes Noted Geologist To Address VOC PROMOTE RESEARCH The Canadian Forest Industrial Entomological Scholarships provides $200 for two students t'o promote research hi forest entomolugy. The awai:d exists in universities across Canada, At UBC the B. C. Loggers Association and the B. C. Lumber Manufacturers Association provide the funds for the award. Three si'udents from New Westminster are attending UBC this year on $250 scholarships supplied through the courtesy of the New Westminster Rotary Club. Eleven sororities and fraternities at UBC are providing bursaries of $50 each for deserving si'udents.

Four hundred and thirty-three black gowned students paraded before their brilliantly clad Chancellor, Eric W. Hamber yesterday when he admitted them to the ranks of graduates. Seven Honourary degrees were<£ awarded at the ceremonies, ene to an American and six to Canadians. The first honourary degree was awarded to Dr. A. E. Richards, leader of tho great Trek of 1922 staged by si'udents when they were demonstrating to have the university built at Point Grey. Tlie one time president of the Alma Mater Sociei'y is now principal economist of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. His citation says, in part, " . . .the Senate . . . takes both pride and pleasure in presenting him with i'he degree of Doctor of Science, honoris causa . . ." Citation for Dr. Homer A. Thompson says that he is one of the world's greatest living archeologists. He was awarded the honourary degree of Doctor of Laws. LAW DEGREES Prominent Lawyers who will receive i'he degrees of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, are: Frederick G. Cron- kite, Dean of University of Saskatchewan, Edwin N. Griswold, Dean of Harvard Law School, Vincent C. MacDonald, Dean of Dalhousie Law School, David H. Parry, Director of Legal Studies at the University of London, and Cecil A. Wright, University of Torento Dean of Law. Dean Cronkite's citation said of him that the public life of our country has been greatly enriched by his willingness to serve his country. Dean Griswold, the only American presented an honorary degree at this congregation was honored for his contribution to Canadian Legal education which the university is honoring. Mr, MacDonald's wit and humor in leaching earned his degree of Honorary Doctor of Laws. PAID TRIBUTE Wording of part of Dr. Parry's citation said, " , . .this university pays tribute to his long and enviable record , . . and to his able handling . . . of the onerous duties which fell to him during thc post war years." He was Vice Chancellor of London University and chairman of United Kingdom Vice Chancellor's committee. The List honourary degree, to Dean Cecil A. Wright was . . * Canadian legal education owes to this penetrating scholar and stimulating teacher ... an apt recognition." Grads Reluctant; Picture Proofs Pine Majority of the grads have failed to pick up the proofs of their pictures for the Totem. Picture proofs are still cluttering up the photo studio behind the Brock. Unless the students concerned collect their proofs, they will have to accept the editor's choice as to which print is published in the yearbook. The last day for pick up is Nov- mber 5. Dr. Griswold Warns Law and Justice Must Go Together Major problem of legal eduction today is the artificial separation between law and ustice, Dr. Erwin N. Griswold, Dean of Harvard Law School, said Wednesday in the official address to UBC's Fall Congregation. "We sometimes forget," he said, "that justice is the end of our legal education and the prime objective of die legal profession. "The artificial split between justice ss a moral idea and law in the sense of our legal cede may leave tho law- year in the position of arguing on behalf of the law with no regard for justice.. If we train our lawyers merely to interpret thc letter of the law we shall never progress. BUILDING DEMOCRACY "It has been said that we do not have democracy—we are building it, and I think this is something we should bear in mind at all times." , He stressed that it is in our concept of justice, which must cover our social customs and our accepted standards of behavior, that wo build our democracy. "The important thing in this difficult' building task is that we do not tire but keep on until we are much nearer our goal than we are at present." BROAD VIEW Dean Griswold told the congregation that we ''must not base our ideas of justice merely on legal precedent, interpretation of legislation and the tasks with which lawyers most often concern themselves. Wc must take a broad view of the problem of building democracy, wc must divorce ourselves from the nineteenth century trend toward legal formalism." Elaborating his theme he said. "Wo must decide, if we are to clarify this problem, what is law, what is its function, how far should the law student's, lhe lawyer's, and the legal educator's consideration and evaluation go? To me it is clear that no consideration of law is adequate which does not extend i'o the relations of law to justice. "It is one of the achievements of twentieth century thought that wc have linked law and social custom into some conception cf justice. While wc have by no means achieved our end, we will at least have a chance of success in propounding a sound concept of justice if we can continue to bear in mind that the split between alvv anrl justice is, really, only artificial." NFCUS Plan Five Million Dollar Scholarship Fund A five-million dollar scholarship plan is to be presented lo the Government of Canada by the National Federation oi University Students after a stormy meeting. The meeting, held at Ottawa, was* - the annual convention of the NFCUS. representing some sixty-thousand university students from Vancouver to Halifax. The brief calls for ten thousand scholarships of an annual value of $500, to cover thc minimum requirements of one year's university education. Emphasis was placed upon scholarships, rather than loans or bursaries. ill) PER CENT PROFIT American firms were said to make a ,10 per cent, profit on texi'-book sales. There was muoh speculation as to the "huge" profit made hy Canadian firms. A need for pulling Canadian education "on a democratic basis" was s'a veil as the uiol i\\ e lor tha proposal. "GOUGING" ON BOOKS During the latter part of the session deelgates tore into "the piescnl system of price 'gouging' on University text-books." Delegates said that though U.S. text-hooks enter Canada without duties or sales tax they wero marked up unreasonably before sale to students in Canada. Angry roprc- sen^.tives cited many examples, including that of a Hospital Construction text which sells for ST.aO in tie; States and $112a hero in Canada. A strong letter wa.s drafted I'or mailing to "those eight firms con- cei'iie I ''in this outrage."

Les Armour Editor This Issue-DOUG MURR AY-ALLAN Assislmit Kilitors-BILLY WADDS A ND IRIS SANDERSON at's Going On By Bob Russel Vote Yes November 4 Next week students must decide on the question of international scholarships. Students voted funds at the beginning of last year for an international scholarship scheme, and UBC chose to bring students from the University of Hamburg. This is where the "scholarships in democracy" slogan came in, and where it ends now. But the Department of External Affairs maintained its ban on German nationals, and so, still in the spirit of the original resolution, UBC is now playing host to two DP students. In the normal course of events it is supposed that UNESCO would look after them, and so it is said that, in the aggregate, our contribution is meaningless. This may be true, but Canadian students have an organization in the ISS designed to help these students, and as students it is The End of An Era The sharp realization that university days are over came to over 400 graduates yesterday with the oracularly pronounced "I admit you." For these graduates it signified not only thc end of cooked labs, scalped essays and extra-curricular actviities, but the virtual end of the swollen post-war enrollment, Almost gone are the days when UBC was a large town on the end of Point Grey, when meeting a friend on the campus was the event of the day and when another lineup fitting that we should attempt to help the same .specialized group in another country. Twenty-five students have been brought to Canada by the students in Canadian universities this year, and if we do the same next year our contribution will start to count. We can easily afford the price of three packs of cigarettes to do this. Some of the students will not be able to return to their own countries, but we hope that this number will be small. These students can do the most good by returning home after their education here, where they can supply (he leadership so necessary there. But if they do nothing but become good citizens of Canada, that will be sufficient to justify the money spent, for we have helped a fellow man. was considered all in a days standing. Students will find themselves going out into a very different world than the one their brother grads entered 15, ten or even five years ago. But modern education has probably given them a more solid basis for coping with the complexities of modern society than any other year. On behalf of the undergraduates of the university, The Ubyssey extends its congratulations to the fall graduating class of li)49 and hopes that it meets with every success in all future undertakings. While The Sun Shines By Vic Hay STAGE: Miss Dorothy Somerset, Sidney Risk, and Cliff Robinson form the drama nucleus of the Extension Department at UEC. All enjoy a high theatrical reputation in this country. Last week we discussed Miss Somerset. This week I would like to formally introduce Sidney Risk, Born, brought up, and educated in Vancouver, Sidney Risk began his theatrical career at UBC. After his graduation here, he professionally directed the Players Club for two years. The next six years were spent in England. He studied with the Old Vic, acted professionally, was private secretary to a movie magnate and an attendant in the maternity ward of a large London hospital. Early in '39, he returned to UBC and resumed directorate of thc Players Club. From 1940 to '46 he was supervisor of dramatics at the U of Alberta. In '44 he bacame that university's first professor in dramatics in their newly formed Fine Arts Department. Those six summers he taught theatre at Banff School of Fine Arts. While at Alberta, he became noted for his premier productions of new Canadian plays. This alone marks him as an outstanding contributor to Canadian Theatre. But he has an even more important contribution: thc Everyman Theatre, founded in 1946. According to Sidney Risk, Everyman "aims to give opportunity and encouragement to young Canadian theatre artists, aid at the same time provide the best kind of legitimate drama at the lowest possible prices." Last year six thousand adults attended Everyman productions, few of them had ever been to a theatre before. Their chief reaction; they came expecting just another school concert; they went away impressed with native theatre. Their fir.st season, '4(!-'47, Ihis company toured from Victoria to Winnipeg with Wilde's 'The Importance of Being Earnest' and a new Canadian play, Elsie Park Gowan's "Tlie Last Caveman,' In '47-'4S they toured B.C. Last season they began their school program on* a big scale, establishing Everyman in the Vancouver headquarters and building new audiences. This year, the same program wa.s expanded. The future: a combination of local development and a professional touring company. For the last three summers, Mr. Risk taught at UBC's summer school of the Theatre. He has been combining his duties as Everyman director and as part-time instructor in drama with the Extension Dept. UBC students will have an opportunity to see his work this spring. He is directing the Players Club major production for next March. RADIO: The Mutual Broadcasting system produces a day-time serial that is so much out of the ordinary that it deserves special mention. It is the only soap opera ever to win a Pcabody award. Sandra Michael's radio novel, 'Against thc Storm' is extremely well written. It presents characters that are so real and interesting, and a plot line so rich and dramatic that the usual run of soap operas seem unusually insipid in comparison. It plays for half an hour five mornings i\\ week. The CBC replace the American commercial announcement with mood music, much to their credit. Every production seems to end either with a tribute to thc program by a literary celebrity or a new award by some appreciative and significant group, Eastern Canada hears this wonder over the Dominion network every week-day morning; but wc don't get it here. It is undeniably unique and worthwhile; but we don't get it here. CBC brings us Laura Limited and Aunt Jennie each morning; they could bring us "Against the Storm." The CBC Wednesday Night next week features two interesting diverse hours of radio entertainment, from eight until ten. The first hour features Bernard Shaw's "Comediettina for two voices, The Village Wooing." Lister Sinclair and his wife Alice Mather will play the leading roles. Shaw's treatment of the love theme will be a refreshing: change from the usual American distortion. Benjamin Britten and the CBC Opera Company are again in the Wednesday Night spotlite. With Peter Pears singing the tenor role, Britten's "St. Nicolas Canata" will receive its Canadian premiere. Ubyssey Classified If we are to believe critics, J. Arthur Rank has done quite a good job on the film, "Christopher Columbus". We have been meditating on a possible Hollywood treatment of the same topic. The story begins wilh Columbus (Cornel Wilde) explaining to Isabella (Maureen OTIara) that he has a dream, a dream which has haunted him since he was so high. The setting is gorgeous, jewels and Goldwyn girls all over the place and the Queen looks gorgeous, too. She'is most sympathetic aljout the deal, particularly a.s Columbus i.s eyeing her in a true sailor-like manner, * * * Trie scene flashes to an ante-room, where the Andrews Sisters are waiting. They are talking excitedly. "Its the least we could do for Cousin Chris," says One. "Yeah," says Two, "he was just like a brother to us when we were poor and dad was on relief anrl the old lady was sick all the time." "Gee," says Three, "I hope the Qeccn'll do right by him. I've never seen a guy v/ho wanted to discover America (U.S.A.) so bad." At this moment hc of the voice appears and beckons to them. They troup into thc throne-room and Columbus registers obvious amazement, Xavier Cugat's orchestra, dressed in 15lit century frilled blouses and sombreros, rattles gourds and makes wiih Ihe accompaniment while the girls sing. "Columbus, Columbus, we're rooting for you, Columbus, Columbus, wc know you'll come through, You're a .sailor bold, so we've been told Better hit the sea before ya get. too old, And if you need those chips, to get those ships, Tell your troubles lo the Queen, the Queen, the Queen" Tell your troubles lo Isabella, fella." All thi.s ends with Columbus ' ' Queen gazim. eyes. A coach appears, the Queen leaps out (she is disguised but we have an idea who il. i.s even before she reveals her features) She rushes up to Columbus, throws back her hood, smiee/.es his hand while he kisses her, wishes him Godspeed, and scrams, But this has not gone unnoticed.

At sea for two and a half months (or fourteen minutes screen time) the crew is "waxing mutinous under the expert coaching of Mr. Lorre. There is a duel, when matters finally come to a head, between Mr. Lorre and Mr, Columbus. The latter ha.s just been dying to show lhe fencing proficiency he gained in proceeding films, and he wounds his opponent. Mr, Lorre will bring another tense moment later on. * * * In the meantime, entertainment is provided by the Andrew Sisters, who appear in the guise of stowaways, and one of the crew members (Keenan Wynn) who is a very funny man indeed. Finally land is sighted. It is a dramatic moment, complete with off-screen music. Columbus tries to look a.s Columbus did en that great occasion, but only succeeds in looking like Cornel Wilde.

HONOLULU ORCHIDS AS PROGRAM PRIZES Orchids are coming UBC's way this Saturday. Four shapely orchids are to be given away at Saturday's Homecoming football game in the stadium as program prizes. United Airline is flying in the expensive flowers straight from Honolulu and they will be in Vancouver by Saturday morning. Sensational Defenseman Carnered By 'Bird Icemen Cal Oughton, sensational ice hockey defenseman who has been sought by half a dozen professional clubs this year as well as the amateur Kerrisdale team, will definitely play for Thunderbirds this season. Oughton contacted manager Al^— —— —— Theisfcen and coach Frank Fredrick son of his intentions late Tuesday. WITH CALGARY BUFFALOES Cal is a product of the great Calgary Buffalo hockey organization which last season was rated as the greatest junior team in Alberta history. They walked away with the tough prairie junior loop last season, losing in the western Canada playdowns to the great Brandon Wheat Kings in a tremendous seven game series. Cal Oughton was one of the stars of the Buffalo's, leading the league in scoring by defencemen and placing second in total point's. He is a great two-way threat and will give much strength to an already potent rearguard. CAL OUGHTON , , . definitely playing for 'Birds WAGNER AS FORWARD The addition of Oughton will release smart Wag Wagner for forward duty thus strengthening the team in two departments . Cal comes to the squad of his own volition, turning down several pro offers in turn for an education. He is known to have received offers from Detroit Red Wings, as well as several senior prairie teams. Ca!, a big good-looking fellow who is a great defender due mainly to his anticipation and hockey sense, is the type of player who will fit in with the great players on the 'Bird squad. He is another addition in the outstanding type of player attracted to the 'Birds. The list seems destined to continue forever in a great new tradition. CALGARY LAD Cal Oughton was born in Calgary twenty ycava ago and has spent' his entire previous life there. Big Cal is a left defenceman and weighs about 180, spread upon a six- two body. He is enthusiastic about playing with the locals, having previously played against another outstanding newcomer, Jack MacFarlane, Things are .looking up. Fem Hoopsters Drop Game to Majorettes "Varsity." one UBC basketball team entered in the girls' inter A league, suffered a 113-18 defeat to Majorettes on Tuesday night in King Edward gym- Maureen Walsh proved to be most outstanding UBC playei', when she sunk one basket ns well as six out of the team's eight free shots. Missing from the string was Gill Wallinger. one of Varsity's keenest basketeers. They managed to Hold their opponents down in the first quarter, but fast-moving Majorettes pulled ahead for a 33-18 win. This is the second win that Majorettes have made over UBC teams since the league started last week. Thunderettes lost the opening league struggle a week ago yesterday in the same gym. Varsity team consists of: Maureen Walsh, Doreen Brinham, Kay Stewart, Gill Wallinger. Phyllis Lewis. Van Nixon, Jean Whitehead, Frances Ver- chere, and Jane Corhett. Schedule Change Forces Puckmen To Play Friday 'Birds Unprepared For Early Start Last minute switch in the Thunderbird hockey schedule, catching the unprepared university team orf guard, forces them to play their season opener in Nanaimo tomorrow night. Original plans called for the locals to make their season debut on November 5. The local squad will go into this fray with very little practice under their belts. The team will practice tonight at the Forum at 6 p.m. This will be but their fourth practice, very little when compared with the Clippers who practice dail% and have' played eight games already this season. NOT TOO MUCH EXPECTED Too much is not expected in this initial contest but the boys will be in there trying and will give the Clippers a game even if it is in the Nanaimo Civic matchbox. The starting line-up is still in doubt and will likely be selected tonight. Don Adams is almost certain to start in goal. He is undoubtedly the best goalie in the league and will be a big factor in the showing of the squad. Whipped Cardinals 'Birds Aim To Upset Badger Win Streak Twenty-Five Back Field hAen Lead Pacific Lutheran Attack Unbeaten Pacific University football eleven, with an impressive list of high-class talent on their roster, will try to keep their streak of good fortune intact when they line up against UBC's fast improving Thunderbirds in the Stadium Saturday at 2:15 p.m. Five games without a loss Is the<$> ecord set so far this season by the powerful Badgers. Opening their football year against Pacific Lutheran, Badgers, still not loo sure of themselves, came out with i 20-20 tie. FOUR STRAIGHT From then on, they won their next Jour statrs. Western Washington succumbed to the Badger attack by a score of 33-13. Old P.U. trounced Linfield 25-0, outlated Whitman 33-27, and last Saturday duped Chico State 33-0. Coached by Dr. Paul Stagg, son of Alonzo Stagg, the grand old man of football, who is now in his third year as head football coach for Pacific, the team has developed a fine system of play and Stagg has done much in developing his boys into hard ballplayers. TWENTY-FIVE BACKS * Backfield men come at a premium in Pacific University, with no less than 25 backs listed in the team of only 54 players. With this small army of runners and blockers leading the attack, Pacific can hardly go wrong. In the line, 29 men are allotted to hold up the forward wall. Five letter- men tacklers help keep the line working against their opposition. I END WEAK SPOTS Only possible weak spot in the forward wall is in the end slots, a fact which may result in their downfall. If UBC features their sweeping 'round end plays as rhey have so successfully so far (his year, Pacific may find themselves with one loss on their books. But the bulk of the line is solid. Captain Bob Magette and Dan Rollins have held down starting roles for the last two years in the tackle spot, but two more lettermen, Jim Hudson Grass Hockeyists After Second Win UBC's men's grass hockey team, fresh from their win over the faculty Cardinals last Saturday will be looking for their second win of the season this weekend when they meet Indians at university Saturday at 2:30 p.m. Downtown Indians crew have identical records with UBC, both having garnered one win and suffered one loss. Last week's game with the Cardinals, which UBC took by a 2-0 score, showed up some of the new talent that has come to the team. Rick Van Rooy and Keith Murroeg, the former having learned his hockey in Holland while Keith is a promising goal-keeper, and Lyle Brown, back them up. RECERVES FROM JV Reserve force consists of a couple of hard-hitting Junior Varsity prospects. Taking the spotlight from the rest of the 25 backs is Senior Stan Russell, who received honorable mention as Little All-American and All Northwest Conference halfback. Russell is the triple threat sensation of the Badgers, handling much of the passing assignments for the club, as well as taking the ball for ground gains. STARTING ROLE Sophomore Jim Sunderland alternates with Russell while at right half position Marv Buntin, two letterman, will probably have the starting role. Badgers feature the "winged T" formation which combines all the advantages of both the single wing formation plus those of the famed T. Deception and power both may be had from this lineup, and with all those backfield men to do the ball carrying, they should have plenty of both. PRIVILEGE PASSES HONOURED AT 'BIRD-GRAD GAME Privilege passes will bc honored for thc Grad-'Birds Homecoming basketball game Saturday evening. Those holding privilege passes will be seated on the west side and In the two ends of the gym. East side seats will only be held by reservation. Reserved scats are now on sale at the office of Graduate manager of Athletics In tlie Brock Hall. Price of the reserve seats Is seventy-five cents. Sports Editor — RAY FROST Associate Editor—Harold Berson 'Birds-Grads Battle For H oop Honours Alums Henderson, Osborne, Nicol Return to Defeot 'Birds Again 'Birdmen Out to Stop Oldtimers From Taking Honours Again Feature sports fixture in this year's Homecoming program will be the classic Bird-Grad basketball game to be played on the UBC maples Saturday night. According to all reports the twelves- men currently turning out at the Thunderbird hoop workouts will be stripped this weekend as will two or three additional men to be brought up from the Chiefs. SAME AS PAST The manner of play will be about the same as in past years, with the first half being devoted to letting the crowd see the actions of some of« the Alum greats of the past. The second half will treat the fans to a preview of things to come as the 'JJirds clash with the strong, recently graduated portion of the Grad squad, A rapid glance at the Grad roster which reputedly will include the names of some 28 basketball alumni, shows some interesting stars of years gone vby. Returning grads from as far back as the top team of 1925 will show men like Dal Grauer and Arnold Henderson. Sixteen year-old "rookie" of the 1931 championship club, Bob "Tony" Osborne, will also be in strip. LOOKED GOOD Incidentally, Bob was out a few nights ago and he really looked good, believe it or not. Btack from the 1937 group will be Jimmy Bardsley and Hunk Henderson, as well as Rann Mathison and Eddie Armstrong. Of more recent vintage will be men like Ron Weber, Harry Franklin, Sandy Robertson, and the "man with the globe trotter style," star for UBC and the great old Victoria Dominoes, Ritchie Nicol. Also hanging around the old maples this Saturday night will be well remembered names like that of Jimmy McLean, the boy that smiles while he plays, and also lanky Bob Haas, stellar bucketman from not too many years ago. At any rate, if numbers count for basketball courts with a triumphant anything, the Grads will sweep the trouncing of the 'Birds. Campbell Winner Of Three Mile Cross Country Winner of yesterday's three-mile handicap cross country race was sophomore Ken Campbell, who finished the course in seventeen minutes and thirty-three seconds. Campbell, Varsity soccer forward, started off without a handicap along with Slight who placed second in the race. Chowne was third with a minute handicap, Oates was fourth with a two* and a half minute handicap and veteran trackster Al Bain came fifth with a three and three quarter minute handicap. This first running ever^t of the year is a preview of the 2.6 mile intermural race which will be run off on November 2. This race next Wednesday will bring promising tracksters out into the limelight. Such long distance men as Oates, Black, Porter and others.shaultl be out front, leading the way.
