C, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1933 No. 27 *Songs of Good Old Days' Enthusiastically Played By Three French Clubs Costumes and Lighting Good—Songs Well Presented—Mackay Esler Turns in Good Performance By JOHN CORNISH "Songs of the Good Old Days," rendered by the French Clubs, were witnessed by apreciative audiences in the Auditorium Friday afternoon and evening. The former performance was attended by high school students who packed the house and afforded the numbers a rapturous reception. The soap, with piano and string quartette accompaniment, were supplemented with resourceful lighting, bright costumes, occasional stage-settinga and miming which gave the numbers a clearer meaning and a greater at-*> tur. PEP MEETING TODAY Ethereal Debating A Reality Friday, February 3, marked U.B.C.'e advent toto ethered oratory when a Vardty team took on a pair of Alberta representatives to a debate on Inflation. The debate was held over the Canadian Nationd Rdlways Western Canada network, MUton Owen and Jim Farris speaking from CNRV and Harold Frlck and Harold Poole holding forth from the Unlverdty of Alberta's home station, CKUA. The speakers for the affirmative based their contention on the assert- ation that inflation is the only way out of Canada's present economic stress. On the other hand, the Ed- imonton orators attempted to prove that inflation would not be successful by citing the unsuccessful attempt of Germany to establish economic stability by this means after the War. Harold Frick, first speaker for the affirmative contended that inflation would only lead to a general rise in prices, and that these would increase more rapidly than the wages of the workers. Consequently, Canada would in no wise benefit from this practice and would be left with a huge debt. Mr. Owen stated that Canada had been pursuing inflation for some time and it would be in the best Interests of the country if Canadian currency sang the purely narrative songs, the were brought to the level of the traction and sensud beauty. How ever, th* combination of speetad* and song has Its pitfalls which these partidpants did not dways negotiate, when singing, but more often acting, trlumph*d at the expense of the ether. The former defect could doubtless have been partially dim- lnated after more adequate rehearsal. Highlight.

Elbert Paul To Lecture For V. C. U. On Wednesday in Arts 204 at 12:10 an open meeting of the Varsity Christian Union is to be addressed by the Rev. Elbert Paul. Mr. Paul is pastor of First Baptist Church in this city. His subject will probably be "Christ and Technocracy." Mr. Paul's views on this subject have been expressed in downtown papers^ and his lecture promises to be an interesting one. Much discussion was aroused when Mr. Paul gave the same address in his own church some months ago. All students are Invited to hear this most Interesting talk.

Alfie Evans and his Campus Buddies kept the motley crowd spinning With regular doses of syncopation, which fulfilled all that Sid Evans, the president, had promised. At half-time the floor swayed to the tramp of many feet marching, and when competition became rife, dashing to nearby feed bags. The function was under the direction of a joint executive. Patrons and patronesses were: Dean Bollert, Dean Buchanan, Dr. G. G. Sedgewick and Prof, and Mrs. Logan. NOTHING BARRED? Students who wish to get pictures in the scrap pages of the Totem are asked to turn ln snaps immediately as the deadline for engraving is fad approaching. "There will be three pages of scrap pictures, and nothing Is barred," states Pat Kerr, Totem Editor. Tickets For 'Iolanthe' Out Tomorrow Much progress Is being made by the Mudcd Society to their forthcoming production, "Iolanthe." Saturday, February 11, wUl be the day of the fird complete rehearsal. "This year's production," remarked Oordon Stead, "promises to be ahead of hut year's It la not so 'breesy,* however, and we have more tune to polish everything up." It was announced that the broad- cad of "Iolanthe" would take place on Monday, February 13. A correction is in order, however, as this is scheduled to be held on Sunday evening, February 12, at 9 p.m. over station CKWX. The entire cast and orchestra will participate in this broadcast of selections from "Iolanthe." During the first week of the sale of tickets for this production, the sum of $200 was realized. Tickets for Student's Night, Wednesday, February 15, are 25c, aU seats being unreserved. This is open to both High School and University students. Prices for the remaining three nights are 40c, 60c, 80c and $1.00. Seat may be reserved either at the campus box-office or at J. W.

Quainton Discusses "For Sinner* Only" "For Sinners Only", the book which has gone through many editions since it was written last year, and which is seUing by the thousands downtown, wiU be one of the topics treated by Dean C. S. Quainton of Victoria today (Tuesday) at 3:00 p.m. in Aggie 100 (note change of time and place). The Dean's address Is entitled "The Oxford Group Movement."

This second lecture will be open to anybody who wishes to attend. The Dean of Columbia is well known In Vancouver as a most Interesting and entertaining speaker. He is making a special trip to Vancouver for the purpose of speaking to the students, and it is hoped that there will be a large turnout. Alpinist. Describe Exploits B. C. Mountaineers Show Scenic Slides Before Vancouver Instttiite Something of .the thriU of exploration was tasted, by a well attended meeting of the Vancouver Institute in Arts 100 on Saturday evening, as members of the Vancouver Branch of the Alpine Club of Canada described trips into mountains never climbed before. The speakers were not eloquent. They let the glaciers and the peaks and the snow speak for them through the medium of beautiful slides, most of which they had coloured themselves with a care and artistry such as only love for the work could breed. Panoramas from the tops of unnamed peaks revealed hundreds of square miles without a shred of vegetation, a sea of rock and ice, where the climber's skill Is tested to the utmost and his appetite constantly whetted by the prospect of new horizons from the summit. Mount Waddtogton, "Mystery Mountain," the highest peak entirely to B. C. ,lies toward from Bute Inlet only 175 mties from Vancouver, and around lt Is such an alpine paradise that Mr. Frank Smith, president, might weU say that Vancouver mountaineers, with the posibUtty of climbing 52 weeks to the year, were the mod favoured ln Canada. The opportunities for exploration work are particularly great, as la evidenced by the fact that it was only to 1930 that Mount Waddtogton was definitely located and climbed. Mr. Don Munday, accompUsher of this feat,, gave an account of lt to the meeting.

The class has managed to stagger through this term of Incarceration, but the adjective mud have been dropped by the y/aydde. Evidence of this fact was not lacking at the Senior class meeting on Friday noon. One or two were pres ent, among them Bernie Jackson, the president, who prodded. Several speeches were made to an apathetic house and a ubiquitous valedictory gift was selected. The library is to be benefited by the gift of a book endowment fund, and a plaque will be set up in the building commemorating the fact that the classes of '33 assisted in the work. The motion for this gift was put by Eric Brooks. Graham Ladner was foremost in the ranks of those who approved the notion of sponsoring a Public Relations Bureau. But it was decided that the sum of money which the graduating classes would have at their disposal would be totally ineffective In the furthering of such a work. An additional reason advanced against the proposal was the fact that this Public Relations bureau was really a matter for the whole Alma Mater Society to consider, rather than one single class. The Pep Club haa clicked again In a big way. Spurred by the addition of aome new Pepsten, Gordie Hilker, Lyle Stewart and "Long Doug" Perkins have been literally burning the wires for the past few daya, and will present at noon today one of the flneat arraya of talent ever gtaged on the U.B.C. boards. Final confirmation of negotiationa came Saturday when the Pep Club received the following telegram from Capt. Al Plunkett of the "Dumbellg:" "WILL BE GLAD TO ARRANOE FOR MISS AUDRE CARLIN AND MR. R. PLUNKZTT TO APPEAR AS P|R YOUR LETTER CALL ME VANCOUVER HOTEL MONDAY REGARDING ARRANGEMENTS AND CON- FIRM WIRE ROYAL VICTORIA THEATRE VICTORIA." Co-starring with Capt. Plunkett and Miss Carlin in the show will be one of Vancouver's most popular dance orchestras, Oley Olsen and hla Commodore Cabaret boys. P EUensburg Te Bow The occasion for th* show wUl of course be the arrival of th* EUens- burg Normal BasketbaU squad, which wUl be remembered as on* of th* strongest teams to Washington Stat*. Last year they took th* horn* crew for a considerable ride, and figure to repeat tonight. Vardty,' however, being to the middle of a winning streak, are equally confident that they can take the American vidtors. The Ellensburg boys wUl probably be Introduced from the stage, whUe charming co-eds wUl dispense student tickets for tonight's game which wUl be played to the home gym. DumbcUs WeU Known Students wUl undoubtedly pack the Auditorium for the third and greatest Pep Meeting of the year. Audre Carllne has charmed audiences across the Dominion as the premier dan- seuse of Plunkett's weU-known revue, "The Dumbells". Capt. Plunkett himself needs no introduction to theatre-goers, his show having played in Vancouver practically every year since the War. Miss Carlin Is also well-known to students, and it is rumoured that an enterprising Commerce man will escort the petite star to the Alma Mater Ball on Friday. Oley Olson Popular Oley Olson, who has been one of the most popular band-leaders in Vancouver for the past two years, will offer up rhythms as they should be offered up. "Oley" first came Into prominence five years ago when he joined Jackie Souders' Strand Theatre orchestra as featured singer, and he has been continuing his solo work via the ether every Tuesday and Friday night over CNRV, and to judge from fan maU, the popularity of his band is growing aU the time. His band today wUl consist of Les Crane, piano; Jack WUUamson, drums; Eddie Larden, trumpet; Harvey Wilson, trumpet and trombone; Eddie Austen, sax; Harry HU1, base; and Oley hisself, sax. They wttl play a number of requests that they have featured at Vardty functions, including "Hell's Bells," "Goofus," and "Pink Elephants." Show gets under way at 12:10 sharp.

James Dunn, M.A., of the class of Arts '30, has been elected to the office of Poet Laureate of East House, Knox College, Toronto. Following the visit of England's Poet Laureate, John Masefleld, the students of Knox College decided to have a Poet Laureate of their own. Owing to the superior quality of Mr. Dunn's verse, he was immediately elected. His poems have appeared at various times in the literary issues of the "Varsity." After winning a Khaki University scholarship in October, 1929, Dunn graduated with first-class honors in Philosophy. Having followed this up with a year of graduate work here, he is now taking his first year in Theology at Knox College.

It is the first bequest received from a Vancouver citUen, For years the University has bean «trug- gling along as a sort of seml-politioal football, sometimes well treated by Ihe Government, sometimes left pretty well to its own resources. Tlie bequest ia a start towards putting tile University in a podtion similar to that of McGill University, which ia virtually independent of governmental support through its en- dowmenta. We venture to atate that .the action of the late Dr. Munro will put the University in a much more favorable light in a certain section of the general public. We would also venture the hope that men of similar nature and circumstances will follow the splendid example aet by Dr. Munro. Some sort of recognition ig being made by the students. The 1933 edition of tiie Totem will be dedicated to |he memory of Dr. Munro, and the frontpiece will be a likeness of him. CLASS SPIRIT. OH YEAH! Occasional Observations By FRANCES LUCAS Once again it has become necessary to remark upon the lack of class spirit shown by various classes. First the freshmen disarrange the set order of things by failing to turn out in sufficient numbers to carry on elections, then the seniors fail to appear and show enough interest to decide the vital question of a valedictory gift. Far be it from us to sponsor the decision of important questions by organized minorities, but if the members of a democratic group fail to take sufficient interest in their own government, that is what is bound to happen. If this attitude continues, it will become necessary to create a dictatorship to run class affairs. Sometimes we think it would be better thus. PEP Approximately three years ago five or six members of the Class of Arts '34 got together over a Cafeteria table and decided that the Campus needed "pepping up." With that in mind, they organized the now-famous "Pep Club." Like a lot of other ventures, it opened with a bang, and within two weeks had collected a lot of "loyal" members. Circulars were sent out to members—games were attended en masse, and, in short, it looked as if the Club was a permanent fixture. But the Campus raised a very snooty and dubious eyebrow and sat back to await the sad demise—it had seen two or three similar organizations start in a blaze of glory and then die out as quickly as they had flamed. It scoffed. Slowly, last year, it began to appear that the Campus, for once, was right. Members dropped right and left, and at the end of the year, the only standbys were the five or six "charter members." They stuck together. And decided that they would try, once more, to show that they were a "Pep Club" that really stood for Pep. Today we are glad to say that those boys have succeeded. Their attendance at games, their revival of Varsity songs and Varsity yells, and, most important, their Pep Meetings, have equalled, if not surpassed, any work that has been done in this line before. Congratulations, Pep Club! We're proud of you! "JUST LOOK AT THOSE MOUNTAINS!" I well remember when the above caption used to be a favorite slogan of mine, It is the traditional motto of the Literary Editor, who has., always been accustomed to flutter into the Pub office on fine mornings uttering it with ingenuous rapture. It got to be rather a curse, and the Editor-in-Chief made of it a bitter mock, but the tradition continues, and there have been known even those who are not Literary Editors to perpetrate the telling epigram. Well, all this verbosity is merely apropos of the fact that they are worth looking at these days. 0-0 CAP FITS AND CONNIPTIONS Various opinions have been expressed aa to the merits of our new column, about which I have not yet made up" my mind. It has been called everything from the flrat sign of cultural decay at thia university to the brightest thing the Ubyssey ever published. It Is neither, really. It fulfils the functions of the "personals" of a small-town newspaper, only its audience is, of course, much smaller. That audience ia rather intrigued, if one U to judge by the comments which have beta made in one ahort week. Of permanent cultural Value "If the Cap Fits" certainly Is not; of amusing if trivial interest to quite a large number of Ubyssey readers it would appear so far to be. Time will tell. 0-0 SPOUTINOS ON "THE FOUNTAIN" I noticed in the last "Apes" a review of Morgan's "Fountain" which interested me because I so thoroughly disagreed with it, as I have with almost all current critics' opinions of the book. D. R. says that the book is written in a thoroughly engrossing manner, and that one hates to set it down before reaching the end. Several thoughtful readers recommended it to me in similar terms, and I looked Into it during the Christmas holidays. I stuck it for seventy-five pages, after which I set it down with all the good will In the world, and fully intend never to take it up again. It seems to me that in that length of time the novelist ought at least to have caught his reader's attention. Mine wandered from the first paragraph, and when for a moment it chanced to concentrate on the non-committal it was immediately diverted by the writer, who set off on a digression into metaphysical discourse lasting for several pages. I did not even reach the delicate love-story, for the young lady appeared on first meeting some degrees more boringly introspective than the hero. Mr. Morgan seems at least to have inspired me with quite vitriolic eloquence. I had no idea that tiie book had had so much effect on me. Maybe there is something in it after all. Or have I become incapable, after a term and a half of cplumnizing, of appreciating the Better Things of Life? 0-0 ON THE MASTHEAD The Masthead seems to be usurping a place on Page Two nearly commensurate with that of the editorials themselves. (The Masthead, for the benefit of the half-dozen or so undergraduates who have not at one time or another worked on the Ubyssey, is the space in the upper left-hand corner devoted to listing the names of the staff.) And as if the Pub- sters regular were not enough, we have a whole separate division devoted to the Totem staff, as well as the Business high muck-a- mucks. Every now and then talk has come up of abolishing this institution. "If you did," a cynic remarked, "you'd lose three-quarters of your staff." Personally I believe this to be a calumny upon the large majority of our hardworking crew; they deserve what small credit they get, anyway. But there has always been a certain element which joined the staff merely for the glory of the thing. (I don't see where they figure it comes in, but apart from that.) This element never lasts long in the paper- strewn confines of the Pub. And there is never a sound of weeping and lamentation at their going. Contrary to widespread opinion, drones are not welcomed with open arms into our ink-stained midst, and their exit at pen-point or boot-tip or in a gentle drifting manner, is ever a matter for ringing hosannahs in the Fourth Estate. That's all right; you're welcome. So glad you dropped in .... O — O OBSERVED ROUND Not a thing that "Cap Fits" hasn't scooped me on. But wait awhile.

DON'T GET CALF- HEARTED, WE AREN'T GIVING YOU A BUM STEER! Institute Heart Alpining Lecture (Continued from Page One) at the head of Bute Inlet was described by Mr. Alec Dalglelsh, who mentioned the difficulties encountered in starting at sea level and packing supplies through the tangled bush on the lower slopes. These troubles were largely avoided by Mr. Tom Fyles, who told how he had explored the head-waters of the LUlooet River this summer by going up the P.G.E. and using pack horses to reach 'a base' for climbing. After establishing a base, each party worked In a similar manner, climbing all the peaks they could reach, taking pictures and making scientific observations and returning to camp for the nights. Sometimes their zed drove them on through mod of the night. They sdd little about danger, but every now and then a photograph would show up a yawning crevice treacherously covered with a thin bridge of snow, and the laymen in the audience were apt to shiver at the mere sight of most of the peaks that were so blithely scaled. Mr. Fyles and his party encountered special difficulty with the crumbly volcanic rock of the LUlooet District: They were never sure whether or not it was going to break away beneath them. Once, however, it made posdble an amusing exploit. They had climbed a mountain, but could not reach the topmost pinnacle, though lt was only a few yards away and but a couple of feet higher than they were. Not to be balked, they gathered a few boulders, threw them at the curmbling spire and knocked enough off the top of It to make their own standing point the summit. • Tbe student (boy) who has received a big Harper's Latin Dictionary is requested to bring this book back-4521 West Tenth.

Varsity Students In Radio Debate (Continued from Page One) trade at present. This increase in trade would thus create greater employment and place Canada on a firmer economic basis. Basing his argument on Canada's foreign debts and on previous un- suceesdul attempts at Inflation, Mr. Poole, co-speaker for the affirmative, maintained that If inflation were carried out, the payment of Canada's debt to the United States would become practically ImposribTw. He sdd that the unsuccessful attempts of Germany and Russia should be sufficient to show that this policy would not be ln the bed interests of Canada. There is no central bank in tills country, and thus it would be difficult to control Inflation—uncontrolled inflation would lead to deflation. Jim Ferris, Varsity Ciceronian, resorted to statistics to prove his point, showing that a policy of Inflation is now, and has been for some time, existing in Canada. If this policy is continued, Canada will be able to continue on a firmer financial standing. Harold Frick, in a three-minute rebuttal, reiterated that inflation is a result of previous inflation, and that inflation must deteriorate—pad conditions have proved this.

BC£lectrlc HIAT WITH *AS Page Four THE UBYSSEY Tuesday, February 7,1933 Fast-stepping Varsity Hoopmen Defeat Leading Sparling Cagers Play Ellensburg Normals Tonight Speedy Attack Over comes Storemen in Thrilling Game Varsity Only a Game Behind Leaders In a game packed with action from start to finish, Varsity Senior A cagers took revenge for their defeat of two week ago when they sent Sparlings down to a 33-27 dereat at V.A.C. gym. Saturday night. The Collegians took the lead after about five minutes play, and dthough the amount of that lead varied condder- ably, the Storemen were never able to wipe lt out. Game Starts Fad Vardty began the gam* at top speed and peppered th* Sparlings' backboard with half a down unsuccessful shots. Th* Mclntyre aggregation, also travelling at a fad clip, missed a number of shots at the other end before Harvey Mclntyre, the captain dropped in a one-handed shot from th* dd*. He added a foul before Osborne sank a long shot for Var- dty's flrd tally. For a few minutes the lead varied between the two Quintdtea, with Purves and Mclntyre replying to scores by Barddey and Osborne. With the score at 5-6 agalnd them, the Blue and Gold offence began to function, and with th* whole team combining beautifully, baskets came rapidly. Barddey, who had been getting through a great deal of work, was given a well-earned red, and Rann Matthison came on In his place. Rann's presence seemed to speed the squad up still more, and they rushed the Sparlings outfit off their feet. As the score climbed to 14-9, Sparlings cdled time-out. Varsity Leads at Half-time With the resumption of play, Dick Wright came on in place of Laurie Nicholson, Ken Wright going to cen tre. During the few minutes left to the interval, Varsity added four more points on combination plays as against one basket by Kennington. The half time score was 18-11 for the Blue and Gold. The second period started out in much the same manner as the first with Mclntyre scoring the first basket and Osborne replying for Varsity. After a basket by Eddie Armstrong, Rann Matthison ran In two tallies, the first on Ken Wright's re bound and the second on a beautiful combination play with Nicholson and Wright. However, having tang led with the lengthy Purves once too often, he shortly after drew his fourth persond, and was replaced by Jlmmie Bardsley. Sparlings Down 16-28 Varsity continued on the attack, and baskets by Bardsley, Nicholson and Osborne pushed the score to 28- 16. Sparlings tried a number of combinations hi an effort to stop the wave of baskets, but were unsuccessful for some time. However, with Wills on in place of Eddie Armstrong, Freddie Armstrong in place of Kennington and Jackie Sherman filling the great Mc- Intyre's shoes, the Storemen started a rally which brought the score to 30-28 for Varsity. At this point Varsity called time-out and did a Uttle reorganizing, so that when the game began again, they managed to add a point or two more before the game ended. The final whistle found the score at 33-27 for the Blue and Gold. The Varsity squad were all in form Saturday night, working as a team throughout, and after the first five minutes, missed few opportunities. Osborne and Campbell made a good job of holding "Long John" Purves, about whom most of the Sparlings plays centre. The scoring was evenly divided over the whole team. The team: Varsity — Osborne (7), Bardsley (4), Matthison (6), Nicholson (3), Campbell (7), K. Wright (6), D. Wright, Mansfield. Sparlings — Kennington (3), Mclntyre (6), Purves (10), E. Armstrong (2), Smith (2), Wills, Sherman, McRae, F. Armstrong (4). ■t?

He works with Jlmmie Barddey, Laurie Nicholson and Rann Matthison on the attacking Une, and whatever combination is on the floor, he is sure to engineer a number of successful combination plays. Possessor of a fine one-handed shot, Ken is one of the high scorers of the Blue and Gold aggregation. Red Cross Show — Aid the Needy Racketeers to Hold Tournament The Vardty annual Badminton Tournament will take place next week on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights.

Big Crowd Anticipated Ardent followers of th* bounce and dribble gam* are all agog over the chance of witnessing In action the snappy EUensburg Normd quintette from Washington, and coach Gordon Allan's fast-stepping Blue and Gold squad, and a packed house Is expected to greet tnese two teams when they take the floor. Vanity's league-leading Senior B team will play North Vancouver hi th* preliminary starting at 8. V. S. Boya Consistent Winners The Washington team have established an enviable record In the consistency with which they win games. They may proudly boast of the fact that they have not lod a game for the lad three years in the Washington Normd League, and show no signs of weakening yet. So far this season the Yankee outfit have lost only two games, both by very smdl margins. On January 8 of this year they dmost upset the top-ranking University of Washington Huskies but were nosed out in the last few minutes of play. They were actuaily leading 14-11 at half time, and were tied 20-20 with ten minutes left to play, only to lose by a few points. Their other game they lost by one point to a Tacoma five. Beat Yakima Kittens The simple statement that Ellensburg beat the Yakima Kittens means nothing to most people in Canada. But when this is qualified by the statement that the Yakima Kittens beat the Spokane Sparklers, who in turn whitewashed the Vancouver Crusaders team of a few years ago, the connection is obvious. Thinking in terms of family relations we may cdl them "great-great-great winners" over the Crusaders. Needless to say, with such a brilliant record behind them the visitors will be in no mood to take things lightly to-night, but will be all-out to continue their winning streak. 17.B.C. Determined However, there Is another dde to the question, and one which carries a lot of weight behind it. This "dde" is commonly known as Varsity Senior A basketball team, and Is a mod serious handicap to any team against whom it is matched. The Blue and Gold lads hava won their last four league games, ond Saturday night defeated the league- leading Sparling crew who had won nine consecutive games. The form they displayed Saturday dthough excellent, was not however the limit of their capabilities. They have played better games and all indications leave ihe impression that tonight they will be inspired to give one of the greatest exhibitions of their career as a team. They will supply the ability and the determination. The students will supply the Inspiration. The Ellensburg team will supply the toughest kind of opposition. The game wiU supply YOU with 40 minutes of the best in basketball, each minute packed with thrills and excitement. Get your tickets now and come to the gym early.

This week's reports are circulating about that the game which Arts '35 played with Arts '33 has been annuled by protest, the reason this time being tnat Heathering- ton, a Theolog .was playing on the soph. team. Certainly, In one of the mod Important branches of college sport there should be some effort put forth for organization. Did He Spoil Their Fun, Tho! The Frosh and the Juniors daged a good contest on January 26 when Doug. Mclntyre gave the Freshles something to think about. From beginning to end Doug, romped around to the consternation of the Freshmen, popping in baskets whenever he felt like it. You'll Get There Yet The Soccer Club has been rather inactive of late due to terrible play- j ing conditions. The boys hope however to get back in the game near the end of the week if the weather warms a bit. Last minute news in this line is that the club will have the Chilliwack game postponed, the fields are pretty hard. I am afraid the boys are going to miss the dance more than the game but that is beside the point. MEN'S GYM CLUB There will be no turnout tonight, February 7, because of the Ellensburg basketball game. LOST—Season's pass to Senior Basketball Games. Number 96. Urgently needed. Return to Ubyssey office. Defence Star PI CAMPBELL Shifted this season from forward to guard, Pi Campbell has proven equally effective in that position, and teams with Osborne to form a defence almost as impregnable as the famous Henderson-Osborne team of former years. Despite his position on defence, Pi rarely fails to drop in the odd basket, and is one of che squad's most consistent scorers Tervo Tribe Cinch Place ln Voand D* Beat Y.MLC.A. by Score of 44-38 in Overtime Vardty Senior B squad cinched the first place in the V. and D. league last Thursday night. It was one of the hardest fought games of the year and about 60 spectators were thrilled from the first to the find whistle. Varsity started right off to get a lead of 7 points in the first five minutes. The Y.M.C.A. weren't going to be outdone like that and retaliated with five baskets one right after the other. The struggle continued till at half time the score was 23-22 with Y.M.C.A. in the lead. As the whistle went again, Chater for the Y opened the scoring. They fought point for point up till nearly full time, when Vardty forged ahead. Y however got a shooting streak in th* lad minute or so to tie the score at full time. After th* overtime started, Lucas got a foul shot which he made to break th* tl*. McDonald scored soon after, again on a foul shot. Thar* th* score stayed till 18 seconds before full time, when Lucas of Vardty scored. He was fouled but the baskd counted. His foul shot bounded off the hoop but he caught lt and scored another two pouits Jud as the whistle went. The find score wu Vardty 44, Y/M.C.A. 38. McDonald wag high scorer for Vardty, netting 15 points, but bis playing was not outstanding. Every player on the team played excellent basketball. Chater was outstanding for the Y, scoring 18 points and turning in a fird clam game. The suspense in the overtime period was broken at exactly eleven o'clock, when an enterprising janitor turned off the Ughts in the gym. After considerable persuadon by both players and spectators he consented to turn the Ughts on for another five minutes, protesting alj the time that It was against the rules. This game gives Varsity the first place in their V. and D. league. They play the winner between Y.M.C.A. and Normal Grads who are tied for second place, in the playoffs. Second Division Ruggers Win 19-0 Varsity Second Division English Ruggers resumed after their layoff with a 19-0 victory over the R.C.M.P. at Lower Brockton on Saturday. Varsity were definitely superior, and pressed throughout the game.' Ted Madeley opened the scoring for the Blue and Gold when he went over for a try which Sanderson converted. Sanderson himself went over soon after to make the score 8-0 for the Collegians. There was no more scoring In this half, although Varsity pressed the Mountles at aU times. The PoUcemen were on the receiving end again in the second stanza, and the Blue and Gold ruggers ran in another eleven pouits. Pugh was the first to score, sUdlng over for a try which Sanderson converted. Continued pressure on the Mountles sent Steele over for the fourth try. This went unconverted. The scoring waa brought to an end with a try by Whyte . The convert again failed, and trie score remained at 19-0 until the end. The team: Grubbe; Sanderson, Whyte, Steele, Pugh; Smith; McDon- dd; Pyle, Beddd, Clement, Madeley, Johnson, Weld, Wood, Sumner. VARSITY SWAMPS MERALOMAS Friday night saw the Varsity Intermediate A basketball squad play a good brand of ball to take the strong Meraloma cagers by a score of 63- 27. The College boys quite outplayed the Kitsilano crew in every department and had things very much their own way the greater part of the game. Harper was high scorer for the students with 14 points but was followed close behind by Wood, Idyll, Phillips, and Kelly. Team: Harper (14), Thurbur (4), Wood (11), Little (6), Kelly (9). Phillips (9). Red Cross Show — Aid the Needy U.B.C. Swim Team Lose To Victoria Harry Andisson Performs Well For Varsity Plenty oMVlaterial In Club Vardty swimmers took a severe beating from Victoria Y Saturday night at the Crystal Garden, with a final score of 66-33 when Y splashed their way to ten firsts in fourteen events. In spite of these disheartening results, the Varsity team on the whole shows promise under Norman Cox, though mod of them are new to competition swimming. Andlson Stan Harry Andlson, Vardty ear, won by a good lead hi both 80 and 100 yards free style. In th* man's rally, Bill Shelley, swimming first kept even, until Norm Gustafson, second, picked up a long lead. Ron Wilson and Andlson again held even and Vardty finished wdl ahead. The ladles' relay was lass successful. Florence Jackson, who has been swimming free-style for leas than a week, surprised herself and everyone els* by holding aimed even, but Vardty finally lod to both flrd and second Y teams. U.B.C. Men Good Vardty man showed particularly good sportsman ship by competing hi the 3-meter diving. The event was taken by Art Stott, Victoria star, whining with an aimed flawless performance. Marian Sangster, Vanity's modest diving Venus, did well to win over Kewpie Unsworth, juvenile Juno of Victoria, on a strange springboard. It looks like demure Darrel Gomery, who placed third is beginning to learn how. Coach Cox's Views If there were any spedd features attached to the evening of the Varsity-Victoria Y gala they were according to Coach Norman Cox the following: 1. The great and successful effort of Norm Gustafson swimming second man In the exciting find event—the men's 200 yard Relay—Gustafson pulled up a ten foot loss and struck in with a five foot lead. 2.
