Those men already qualified will be given preference but applications will be accepted from men who are not qualified but who merit special consideration. Noon hour lectures have been granted for 4th and 5tn year men talcing Applied Science. The times allotted are 12:45 and 13:25 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday in Arts 100. This relieves the strain upon the time of those red shirts who wish to have their afternoons and evenings clear. One Man's Opinion BY ANDY SNADDON e LAST WEEK Dean Dorothy Mawdsley, at the suggestion of the Ubyssey, contacted the officials of the Vancouver post office and discovered that between 250 and 300 part-time employees would be taken on by that office to handle the Christmas rush. However, prior to the Dean's Inquiry city high schools had been notified, with the result that senior matrlc students in the city had a head start In obtaining the positions. It ls no one's fault that the University students were not informed sooner. It merely emphasized the need for an employment bureau at this university. TWO EFFORTS We have two organizations on the campus which are supposed to handle this work. In the registrar's office one may obtain forms to fill out when a atudent desires employment, these are then kept on file. IF employers call up then an attempt to fill hla requirements ls made. It Is obvious that this system Is Inadequate, and Improvement Is not likely as the staff in the administration office have enough to do already with their own work, without taking on the extra load. Dean Mawdsley has made a commendable start In aiding students to gain employment to help defray the cost of their studies. A simple filing system has been Inaugurated, and attempts to contact employers has met with considerable success. After Christmas Miss Mawdsley hopes to have opportunities for summer employment for women students. INADEQUATE But once again we have a single department tackling a full time job aa an addition to their own work. Regardless of the excellent beginning the Dean has made, it is apparent that she will not be able to develop the work very far without more assistance. The time for the administration of the U.B.C. to open a full-time employment bureau Is the present. The shortage of labour due to the war makes it comparatively easy to obtain employment, but after the war groat difficulties will no doubt be encountered. Therefore if a bureau was set up now and competently run, It would receive co-operation from employers and would be ln a position to supply real service in harder times. Employers would no doubt appreciate the service as It would provide them an opportunity to contact and select the people most suited to their requirements. U. S. SYSTEM Columbia University in New York has one of the best systems on the continent. They have an elaborate filing system on both employers and employees, and a^e able to provide a desirable function in a manner satisfactory to both sides. This plan Is not one that could be developed over-night, but a carefully constructed program could be introduced. It is up to thc administration to brln£f someone in who would be competent to handle the program and to placo the plan on a sound basis lather than tho slip-shod manner in which it is now conducted.

Totem Editor Smiles Over Amateur Pix • TUESDAY, when Agriculture and Science clashed, George Speakman 'was "on the spot" with his camera. Oeorge Is a second year applied science student who makes a hobby out of photography, and he tok great glee In snapping pictures of Agros ln various postures of dishabille. Not only that, but he brought his pictures to the Totem, -who will publish them ln this year's book. Now — if there are any farmers (or artsmen) who have embarrassing shots of engineers, they have an equal opportunity of humbling their rivals. The Totem Is glad to accept pictures of campus activities. All pictures borowed will be returned. lite problem was publicity, and the materials university students. The obvious apparatus was the Ubyssey — a Theolog Issue — If It could be arranged. The question was: how arrange it? It had never been done before. That alone might have convinced many theologians It should never be tried. But not so the theologians of Anglican and Union Colleges. They got their heads together. Then armed with paradigms, lecterns, theological schema and hymn books, and disguised ln long black hoods, they set out to Invade the Pub Office and present their demands. The editor was at first astounded. Sacrilege for theological studenta to penetrate Into the sacred preclnta of the Pub! Then, finally taking command of the situation at the moment of crisis, he rose from his desk, drew himself to his full height, raised hla eyea to the level of the top of the door, cleared his throat with Impressive dignity, and said, in tones reminiscent of the utterances of all the great from Cicero to Churchill: "Okay." The editor had spoken. The decision had been taken. History was made. Dried Milk For Babies In Britain e U.B.C. ORGANIZATIONS now engaged in raising money for war organizations may soon be approached ln the hope that they may be able to assl-rt the "Milk for British Babies" Fund. Empowered by governmental charter to organize a drive for approximately $150,000, the Associated Kinsmen Clubs of Canada havo begun the movement to send enough dried milk to furnish 1,- 500,000 fluid quarts to the equally- embattled younger Britons, for which there Is a desperate need. Ten cents, will land enough powdered milk ln England to equal one fluid quart. Far from losing any nutritive value ln this process of dehydration the powder is of even more value than In fluid form. Plans are being made for the placing of 1000 collection "bottles" ln stores throughout the city. "Our organization and the children of Britain would be more than thankful for any contribution which you people on this campus might make" officials declared. Officials In charge of the fund may be contacted at PA. 1351. NOTICE — Publication Board meeting on Friday at 12.30. It Is Important that every member of the Pub. will be there.

Student Council created the Council last Tuesday night in an effort to co-ordinate and promote all activities of the University's war program. An executive body of eight members was also appointed as the Inner War Aid Council. This group will be directly responsible to the larger body and will execute the decisions made by it. The memberahip of the War Aid o Ubyssey uizzes Campus e TODAY and tomorrow Ubssey reporters will conduct a survey on the campus to determine the attitude of the student body with regard to large formal dances. The results of the survey will be announced next Tuesday. It is felt that this plan will give the Students' Council a basis for future policy with regard to these affairs. Students are asked to give the matter consideration and to cooperate with reporters who will question them. QUESTIONS The following four questions will be asked: (1) Do you favor, ln view of the existing war conditions, the continuation of the down-town dances? (2) Would you favor lower ooat dances in Brock Hall, with the profits going to war effort? (3) Do you think we ahould have formal functions at the University at all? (4) (For male students) Does the high admission cost of these affairs prevent you from attending them?

Page Two • From The Editor's Pen » » » • THIS ISSUE of the Ubyssey is dedicated to the theological part of our University.. While the University itself has no official religious content, it granted sites on the campus to such of tho larger religious denominations as planned their ministries to be trained in a wider than merely religious atmosphere. Colleges erected on these sites are given representation on the University Senate, and their students can substitute specified Theological subjects for Arts subjects in proceeding to the degree of B.A. These colleges are affiliated with the University. So far the Church of England in Canada and the United Church of Canada have availed themselves of this privilege. They erected Theological Faculties, and had their buildings ready when the University moved to Point Grey. Here the two Colleges do some of their work in cooperation. The number of Theological students is necessarily small in comparison with those taking Arts and Science. But this does not mean service is less Influential or vital. Like Law students, they are few in number but represent a necessary part of society. There are many branches of learning with few students, but one could not imagine a civilization without them. Theology has had an honorable and vital place ln education. Once it was known as the Queen of Sciences and there was little education in Christendom except what was fostered by the Church. Modern education has swung to the other extreme with the evolution of society. Neither extreme is good. Mediaeval scholastic philosophy drew maps of the world with Jerusalem as the centre, which was absurd. Modern science haa filled the worlc. with instruments of terrible destruction, and the result is worse than absurd. Education without religion, and religion with a narrow education alike end in frustration and defeat. There is no possible danger of theology ever dominating education again, but we are grateful for many signs that education ia finding out its poverty of content and frult- lessness of result in going to the extreme ln neglecting it. In British Columbia at last the education Department haa made Bible Study a recognized option for matriculation requirements. In many leading Universities in Canada, theological subjects may be taken by Arts students as options for their degrees. We are moving toward a more balanced system of study. The great enemy of a balanced education today is the extreme specialism which prevails. A university student goes forth knowing at most a mite of one subject and may be the narrowest personality imaginable. Often in proportion to this narrowness he thinks he has an education. The churches endeavour to save their ministries from narrowness by training them in colleges in the wider contacts of Arts and Science. On the other hand it ls quite possible that an Arts or Science student might be enriched and deepened and broadened with some knowledge of Theology. The day may come when theological colleges will play a greater part in our Universities. The great justification of a religious element in Education is the fact that life includes more than the things we can weigh with instruments, or even the culture and relationships of men. Beyond the force that science discovers and measures, or the mere culture of the,human mind in the sphere of Arts, is something more. Faith steps in where these end it searches a different sphere and brings into life ideals and Influences and results just as real as matter or pure thought. This is the sphere of Theology. The recognition of this is growing and augurs a happier day. Once Science explored the universe and posited no Ood. Increasingly scientists have confessed that in this science has gone outside its field. Its limits are the material universe and lt must leave to the theologian the fields which can only be entered by faith. On the other hand theology has accepted many conclusions of the scientists and has found itself on firmer ground ln ao doing. i The relations of theology with Humanism are less clear cut. But each needs the other. Theology needs the cultural influence of Humanism and the latter only shines with a flickering flame when the tougher moral atmosphere of theology gives it oxygen to burn. On all counts the University should welcome the presence of theological colleges on the campus. The Minister's "Work" Guest Editorial By Rev. H. R. Trumpour, B.A., D.D. • DOUBTLESS ALL theological students or would-be students, do not feel called to undertake social work. Their interest simply does not lie along that line. Dean Inge, when he was the Incumbent of St. Paul's, London, said to a group of students, "The gospel is good news, not good advice. The Labour Movement can provide its own hired advocates, but the business of the clergy is to preach the gospel and tell the truth." All of this may be true enough; yet, even for those who are concerned about the minimum rather than the maximum of service, there may still be some incentive to consider the problem of social welfare. In faot, it is difficult to see just where the average minister fits into the picture, unless he knows something of the functions of society. I have heard students recently explaining publicly why they were called to the ministry and I noticed that in the majority of cases it was because they felt the urge toward social justice. First of all, then, the very trends ln social work at the present time demand the presence of the minister. Personally, If I were taking up the task of the ministry today, I know of no challenge which would appeal with greater force than this. The tendency toward professionalism in welfare work is becoming more and more pronounced. The technical side of social work is being emphasized in a great many circles today at the expense of the redemptive side. As George Bernard, Shaw observes, "There is nothing that people will not believe nowadays if it is presented as science, and nothing that they will not disbelieve if it is presented as religion." Hence the relationship of religion should be made plain, if we expect to make any headway with the social message of the Church. Social work is becoming not only more scientific and secular, but also more governmental. There is a growing tendency on the part of governments to regard appointments in this department as a branch of the Civil Service. Possibly in this particular we ate more influenced by our American than by our English friends. IN ENGLAND, tnere is still a large place for the non-professional worker, and the chief question asked is not regarding the service, itself, but the spirit in which that service is rendered. Here lies the minister's opportunity, for it is not only his mission to serve, as the Master served, but in the various Churches he will always find a body of men and women, who seek to serve not for the reward but for the joy of service. In fact, a very large proportion of social workers today are Church members and the Minister has the inspiring task of leading this army of workers in social service. The challenge is both human and divine, "Unless the Lord buid the house, they labour in vain that build it." Again, this work of the ministry is urgent because we need the practical to balance the theoretical. Tl^ere is much in the ministry which savours of the mystical. Recently I heard a cleric describe the minister as interpreter of the mystery of life. He must needs baptize the children, marry the living and bury the dead. The mystery of life and love and death is in his hands. The prophets of the Old Testament were men of mystery. They did not appear before the footlights but in the clouds. Yet, we cannot overlook the fact that the very word, minister, suggests service. The Master declares, "I am among you as one that serves." One of the great sayings of the Jews was, "Learn to do by doing." That applied not only in mental and physical affairs but in the spiritual as well. It is significant that persistent attempts are being made today to divorce worship and service. Hitler would possibly not prohibit the preaching of the gospel or administration of the Sacraments even to ministers of the Confessional Churches. But the moment they seek to exercise social functions they are forcibly restrained with the result that scarcely one of the leaders in the Church is at liberty to exercise his ministry today. In Russia the same process of delimitation is going forward. All Church activities, save services of ■worship, are strictly prohibited and even there the Church must conform to the ruling of the State. Russia looks toward the withering of the Church in the same manner that she seeks "the withering of the State." Tlie Communist ideal is for both classes and a church- less society. Surely these conditions constitute a challenge to the young men of today. There is no need for a new faith, but it must be socially as well as personally apprehended, if it is to prevail. For this, the ministry of today and tomorrow must be prepared to answer. —THE UBYSSEY (MEMBER CVJP.)

One day his son, on whom he spent a host of shekels, waa expelled from college. Hla neighbor, sympathizing with him over this altuaUon aald, "Well, I don't aup- pose there la any verse from the old Book to fit this." "Oh yea," replied the father "there lo a verae from the story of the golden Image made by Aaron for tho people to worship. When Moses reprimanded him because he had made the image Aaron replied "It waan't my fault, I put In the gold and out camo this calf." Grown-ups who think a great deal of us are saying that we are not taking our responsibilities for the leadership of youth. We are being accused of allbing that we are too busy when the fact la we just haven't the Inclination. There are few who can deny this. It ls a sad state of affairs to see on the one side the petty selfishness of the "too busy" who accept little or no responsibility for leadership, and to see, on the other hand a handful of old faithfuls who accept the whole burden of service without complaint as to the amount of work they have to do. Tlio church, tho community, our fathers and mothers havo Invested {.old in us. Wc havo fulfilled their trust if wc accept responsibility for leadership of youth. No mat - ter what my cynical friends may say to the contrary, the fact remains that we are the kind of people we are and we are In the position we arc now because of the sacrifices of others. We can do our share in making these sacrifices seem worthwhile If wo. put our Uvea Into the task of service. Unless we do this we are but the calves.

At the Pep Meet for the affair, organized rowdyism on the part of the Sclencemen brought flEhts, flying bottles, and swishing lunch bags to mess up the Auditorium . . . Declaiming that "No leniency will be shown those responsible for this disgraceful behaviour',, A.M.S. prexy Harry Lumsdan warned that such actions may bring a possible ban on pep meets . ..Then in a brawl th'at was called a rugby game, the traditional rivals Arts and Agglos battled to a 3-3 draw . . . Everyono felt better after Thursday night when the Ball was staged amid oriental splendour. Girls gave up the splendour of corsages, however, for ribbons. . . , In other events of the week, Frank Underhiil declared war on "pig-sty" conditions in the Caf, ancl moved sorority tables to make room for more watepaper baskets . . .And the Ubyssey staff celebrated its victory of "Totem Est" in the Totem slogan contest by holding ita annual censored party . . . L'ART by EZRA POTTND Green arsenic smeared on an egg- white cloth, Crushed strawberries! Come, let us feast our eyes. Friday, November 21, 1941 The Gatepost BY LIONEL SALT e IN FOUR YEARS of attending this institution, I have found among much other collected trivia the easiest way of killing a member of Students' Council. You merely sidle up to a Councillor, hiss "Downtown publicity" ln his ear, and wait for rigor mortis. The results are guaranteed, the effects are horrible. Take, as an example, the latest actions of our 1941-42 crew. Tuesday night, when the question of complimentary tickets for the Arts- Aggie dance was raised, our administrators went on record as feeling that the downtown dallies should not be given free passes to ANY Varsity dance. REASON GIVEN The reason given for this change ln policy was that Council did not want the publicity coverage from downtown papers. don't like our not giving them enough explanation. If the papers don'5t like our not giving them passes, then they don't have to write up our dances. We don't want the publicity anyway. Havo you guessed the $64 question? Why do we not want the publicity which In previous years we have gone out of the way to coerce from local editors? Apparently the answer Is all mixed up with the war. EMBARRASSING All of a sudden, our Councillora have found It exceedingly embarrassing to rationalize to a critical British Columbia publio tha rea- aona for Unlveralty atudenta, exempt from the oompulaory four- months military training, staging lavish and costly balls In Vancouver night cluba. We are aaked, by Studenta' Council, to pay $3.00 at the beginning of every aehool year to help retire the debt Incurred in the construction of Brock Hall, our aoclal centre. And then, we are aaked to pay 93.25 to dance at the Commodore. And aa far aa the ignorant people of this province are concerned, it'a all very hush-hush. Pearl casting again. Well maybe its right. After all, we don't owe the people of thla province anything. We pay tuition feea, darn high onea too. And because they won't give ua grants, we build our own buildings. Our men march six hours a week, our women knit countless hours a week, we deny ourselves once a week. We buy popples from tho veterans, and apples from the Kinsmen. In short, we're a very philanthropic outfit. And besides, aren't we to be tha leaders of the next generation? QUESTIONNAIRE During the next few days, the Ubyssey is going to send over the campus its better reporters, who will conduct an inquiry of student opinion on the question. Personally, I have no doubt but that a vast majority of students will go on record as favoring the removal of the cause—that Is, will favor taking our social functlon_, away from the aegis of Vancouver ballrooms, and bringing them out to the campua. However, this Is a matter for the atudent body to decide, and for Studenta' CouncU to abide by. WANTED—Three male boarders, good room and board; close to bus and street car. Phone AL. 1307.

When I ask, therefore, concerning the worth of the Anglican Theological College of British Columbia I turn not to the college itself but to its graduates. During its existence more than mmmmm^__,_____—_**, 100 men have graduated from the college. They have gone to serve not only in Canada but in all parts of the world—China, Japan, India, Ceylon, Africa, Australia and elsewhere. They have not gone to all parts of the world just because there are jobs there that anyone can do but feeling by going they can best serve God and mankind— you cannot do the flrst without the second. In this way the small college has Influenced thousands ot people In all parts of the world— Influenced them for good. It Is easy to sit and paas judgement upon men that have gone forth— to criticize them as individuals—lt will be easy for people to do that to me when I have left—but that ls not the important issue. SERVICE Rather let us ask if the college through the training it has given men has been of service to the world. I am convinced that It has— 1 have met people from eastern Canada to the Pacific, from the Yukon to the southern states who assure me of this. This, however, is not a cause for boasting e . t >r priding either ourselves c-iir college—this Is -what should r> ■■•■!> from the existence of the cc l)<-'.-!e and if it did not, then the colles: should be either abolished or _>c changed that it did result. I have often been asked what people should expect of the people who graduate which, Indirectly means, what the college should teach to those who attend lt. I believe that there are two things here. First of all people have a right to expect thot the graduates should have a knowledge of the teaching of Jesus—this is fundament-... Secondly, I believe they should have a right to expect that the graduates have some knowledge of the real issues and conflict-! of life today. COLLEGE DUTY These seem to be, in my opinion, the two fundamental things that the college should present to those who attend It. It Is up to the graduates, once they have attained this knowledge to correlate the two ln such u way that It will be of use to men and women faced with the problem of living and living with other people as we all are. I think that the college has tried to do this In the past, I hope lt la doing it in the present and that it will do It ln the future. If It is going to do thia then, Uke all things that are of value in this world, It must change and develop as life around us changes and develops. Students Gain Training On Week-end Job e JUST AS the students of the science faculties at the University receive their practical work in the laboratory, so the students at the Theological Colleges receive a great deal of theirs ln thc course of their weekend duties. These duties vary from taking a Bible Class to assisting in tn. services, and, in some cases, taking full charge of some of the outlying churches. The following churche3 and missions are served by the students of the Anglican College? St. Saviours, C. W. Bryce: St. Mary's, Kerrisdale, L. Divon; Church of the Ascension, H. G. Bird. P. Stadius; St. Augustine's, W. Askew; St. Lukes, C. Williams; St. Marys. South Hill, C, H. Smith; St. Marks, J. Wwlning, J. L. Dalton; St. Matthews, Abbol -stord, F. Butler; St. Stephens, Bu.-quitlam. R. Hanslow, T>. Patterson; Oollege Chapel. J. Orman; St. Stephens. North Vancouver, H. Oldfleld. ♦ said the speaker. "They use it simply as a way of qualifying for a better job, rather than as education for the sake of education itself. In many of our universities the Faculty of Arts Is on the defensive. "Is the solution to be found In requiring all students to take an Arts course before starting specialized studies? Not if this were to mean Increasing the number of years before a student's final graduation," he said. The obvious solution, then, the speaker suggested, was to provide some training In the general fields of the humanities and social studies for students preparing for various specialized professions during their regular course. This should be done, he contended, even if lt meant postponing training in certain aspects of professional specialization until the period of practical or field experience following graduation. Students Assisted City Boys e ALTHOUGH Theological students pursue a very heavy course of academic work on the campus, they also take an active part in church work throughout the city, especially amongst Young People's groups. This year, Union College students have been going out to various Young People's societies In the city, to speak to them and to come into more intimate contact with them. At most of thesa meetings the students have held panel discussions dealing with the homo mission work of our church and they have also emphasized tho Young People's Forward Movement which ls helping to revitalize and deepen the spiritual life of many eastern Young People's societies.

The game, which Is not open to the public and which will be viewed by all ranks of the C.O.T.C. prior to the official opening, will be featured by ceremony In the military manner. It is expected that Major Oeneral R. O. Alexander will kick off at 1:30 to start things rolling. And decidedly a feature for long-time Thunderbird followers, will be the return of Major A. O.

CONDITIONING After the dispirited showing in the Armistice Day McKechnie Cup game when U.B.C. frill 16-11 before Vancouver Reps, Coach Tom Stewart has been stressing conditioning with Its accompanying vim and dash ln the workouts. He has also weeded out the deadwood ln an effort to pep up the scrum. Senior Manager Charlie Cotter- all claims the boys have taken a new view of things and are all set to go. Reminiscent of a certain British Prime Minister, he quotes bravely: "Win we must, and win we shall." Bud Spiers will be missing from the five-eighths slot due to leg injuries, and Don Ralston will not be out on the wing because of eye trouble. Al Gillespie will move from the three-quarters Into Spiers' place. Otherwise the team that will play under the banner of the C. O.T.C. will be built around the regular Thunderbird outfit.

Ford Upsets Swinton In Link Semis e BOB FORD, a comparatively unknown golfer from Victoria, added to his rapidly growing reputation in Varsity golf circles this week by qualifying for the final of the U.B.C. championship with a 20-hole semifinal victory over Hans swinton. Ford is the lad who caused a sensation in the ranks of the charter members of the Varsity "Big Six" team last week by Knocking off champion Ken McBride ln the quarter finals. Swinton, like McBride, had a particularly off day. Leading by four holes at the 12th tee he proceeded to lose a golf ball on the fairway and then knock tee shots into the woods nn two other holes to throw away his edge by the time the two had reached the 18th green. Tan on the.first exu-a hole, Ford hung on by sinking a nine-foot putt for a half and won the match on the 20th with another putt ot the same length for a par. Ford now meets the winner of the Bob Plommer-Ormy Hall semifinal match for the University championship. Plommer won his quarter-final match Wednesday against Tom Hunter 3 and 2. All square at the turn and one down at the lltn, (Plommer suddenly caught fire to win the 12th, 13th and 14th In a row to win easily. He carded an approximate 78. HALL WINS Ormy Hall qualified to meet Plommer atfter a terrific battle with Jim Allan In a match that waan't settled until the last green. Two down at the turn, Allan squared the match on the next two holes and was leading one-up at the 15th. Hall won the 16th to even the match and the game went that way to the 18th. Allan looked like a certain winner on the last hole when his tee shot stopped 20 feet from the cup, but Hall pitched up within three feet with his second approach and sank his putt for a par while the highly jltteded Allan took three putts to get down in a boggy four.

In Tie For 2nd With Woodsonias By BILL GALT • TURNING IN THEIR BEST game of the year, the Varsity soccer team dropped a hard- fought game to the Police eleven at the Upper Playing field on Wednesday landing on the wrong end of a 3-2 score. Unexpectedly enough, the other game at the Cambie St. pitch, where the Pro-Recs fought it out with Woodsonias ended in a draw. So that in spite of their recent defeat, Varsity are now tied for second place with Woodwards, while the Health and Happiness boys hold down the cellar position. Taking an early lead on a clean goal by Norm Tupper, the Freshman sensation, Varsity outplayed Police for most of the flrst half, and the Cops were only able to tie the score by tallying on a penalty shot, which was neatly scored by constable Hagman. By thu half, the Varsity eleven were rated by the sideline experts as the quicker and cleverer team of the two, with their passing and checking attack reaching a new high for thia year. MORTON FEEDS Varsity took the offensive again early In the second half, when a long sideline dribble by Jimmy Morton followed by a pass resulted in another tally for the Gold and Blue. The pass from Morton to Tupper was received not ten foot from the goal mouth, where Tupper had no difficulty in chalking up another Varsity score. From thia point the game accelerated to a furious pace, with the brothers Todd, Stu Roach, and Tupper outrunning, and outplay ing the heavier Police entry. We missed many chances here only becauae ot the excellent guardian of tho peace In the Police goal. COP DRIVE Then In the dying mlnutea ot the game when the very encouraging atudent crowd were conceding Varaity the game, a power play by the Coppers tied up the score on a shot by Campbell, followed not five minutes before the final whistle by a winning tally by Dyer. The Varaity team rallied gamely and a 'sensational field-long dribble by Doug. Todd almost resulted In a tying goal tor the Blue and Gold, but this was not to be, and the game ended at 3-2 for the Constables. No record of this game would be complete without mention of the game played by the Varsity team. Outweighed by every man on the Police team, the diminutive students fought every Inch of the game, outwitting the giant Cops time an again by daring paaaea and checks. But the superior power of the Beatmen proved to be too much for the valiant scholars. FAST PACH Special mention should go to fullbacks Quan Louie and Dave Thompson, who repulsed attack after attack by the aggreasiv Police forwards by as brilliant checking and feigning aa haa ever been seen in these parts. So busy waa Louie that at one time when he lost his shin-guard he played for ten minutes clutching It In hia hand, before he had a chance to stop and put it on again. Sparked by such brilliant playing as waa turned in by Fred Sasaki and wily Stu Todd, the Varsity team was beaten but not conquered. The soccer cup may yet rest in the Varsity showcase this year!
