Dark Brings Distinction on Himself and the University. By Dr. W. L Macdonald Of Alt types of literary history and orltioism tne most vague and unsatisfactory It that which attempts to trace the "Influence" of one writer upon hla age or succeeding ages ot literature, or to estimate the "Influence" of an age or a vogue upon a articular writer. In his recent book, illeau end the Prenoh Olassloal Outlet In England, Dr. A. F. B. Clark Of the Department ot Modern Languages'has shown that this kind ot criticism, when undertaken with a capacity tor research nnd a will to enlighten, need be neither vague nor Unsatisfactory. Dr. .Clark's book is a distinot achievement In Its particular Held, and the author is to be congratulated by the University, by his colleagues, snd by all students of literature, especially those who are Interested in eighteenth century letters. The writer attains his end—the determination ot Boileau's influence on English literature during the period l|80-183f>-by a combination of generalship sod a capacity for attending to details. Never losing sight of tits ultimate objective he conducts an enveloping movement. Sometimes the student ot the campaign is at a stand to grasp the significance of certain developments of the argument, but very soon he finds that an outlying defence has been stormed, captured and consolidated and the ground cleared for a further advance. Finally after Bolloau'a reputation in Bugland has been established (Book I.), translations and imitations of his Works enumerated and evaluated (Book II.) and after the ground which certain other French classical critics had occupied on an exposed flank has been swept clear (Book III.), all is In readiness for a concentrated attack on the main position. In Book IV. we aeo how a critical strategist can drive home a carefully prepared attack. There la no holding out against Dr. Clark here. Doubting Thomas himself would have to agree that Boileau popularized the mock-epic as against burlesque, that he acted as plenipotentiary for Lou- glnus in England, and that he killed the Christian epic by shouting for an impossible alternative—the imitation of the pagan epic, which the still robust poetic sense of eighteenth century England knew to be a lifeless corpse. Throughout the entire book the writer exhibits the critical virtues of detachment and perspective. Unlike those critics who are inclined to estimate the worth of a writer by the amount of work they devote to him, Dr. Clark holds Boileau in no undue reverence; he Is quite able, like the eighteenth century, "to distinguish between Boileau and the inspired singers of the world." On tho other hand, when occasion calls for it he can assume the rote of eloquent advocate, as witness the passage In which he speaks of what he considers "Boileau's great, original contribution to universal criticism,— . . . the introduction or satirical criticism" (p. 394). Humor Is only an effect of perspective -anti It is refreshing to And that a scholar can produce a very learned book without continually pulling a long face "As who should say I am Sir Oracle," etc. Finally the book Is remarkable for it* style, which Is always readable, pervasively lively, and sometimes brilliant. In short, Dr. Clark has approached much nearer to the goal of his endeavors—"the high standard set up by the brilliant and industrious school of 'comparatlstes' "— than bis modesty permits him to hope. DEBATERS WIN HERE-LOSE IN ALBERTA Political Conditions In Canada Thoroughly Discussed—Les Brawn's Rebuttal Wins Contest fer U. B. C. Three votes out ot five turned the scale of judgment against the Wise Men ot the Bast in the intercollegiate debate of last Friday, held In the Auditorium. The away team, on the other hand, was defeated by Alberta by a unanimous decision. The argument centered around the question: "Resolved that a return to the traditional two party system would he beneficial to Canada." The U. B. 0. home team was composed of Messrs. H. Leslie Brown and Gordon Telford who upheld the affirmative against 8. Saper and V. Graham of Saskatchewan. Mr. Brown took the plunge by comparing himself to a young soldier waiting for the aero hour and ready to slaughter his opponents. He out* lined the nature of the two party system and the chaotic conditions of the present time. The two party system has lived a vigorous life, and has done yeoman service. It is old, well seasoned, and has survived strenuous times in Canada, Great Britain, and the U. 8. A. The old system did not mean stagnation aa was evidenced by the extreme groups within the parties. More than two parties caused deterioration and confusion in political thought, and national interests were sacrificed to local appeals. There was a lack ot great party leaders like Laurier and Macdonald in present day politics. Mr. Brown closed by showing that conditions would not become stabilised under the multi-party system aa the Progressives could not hope to form a majority. Bl-Party System Corrupt. Mr. Graham, of the negative, gave a history ot the bi-party Bystem from the time of Charles I. He showed that the Canadian parties signified nothing, and launched a sledge hammer argument by showing that both the old parties wero controlled by the same Interests in Montreal and Toronto. The speaker dragged many political scandals to light to prove his point. Party platforms were corrupt, real Issues contused, and false Issues created to stampede the electorate. Constant systematic deception has done more to undermine confidence In the party system than all the radicals In Canada. The two old parties have refused lo understand change. They have Ignored I ho complexity of present day conditions. Mr. Telford, in a slow and deliberate speech, emphasized that fact that the three party system represents minority rule in the house by parties elected hy a minority of the electors. There waB no responsible government as each party could shift the blame for broken promises. Legislature is forced upon the house by minorities. When parties ally, new platforms are formed. Great national questions could not be considered. All these conditions were contrasted by the speaker to the -stability of tho two party system. Mr. 8aper le Orator of Evening. Mr. Sapor introduced more oratory Into his speech than those who went before him. He showed that there was always a group system in British government. In Canada It stood for parties, not principles. He outlined the class-conscious movement of the Progressives, and enumerated the points on their platform, Mr. Saper reiterated that there was uo difference between the old parties, that they had a tainted source of rnvenue, antl did not represent real Issues. The traditional parties were not fundamental In British Parliamentary rule and there wan no reasonable necessity for two parties. We are living In a period of evolution, he said, and Canadian public opinion shows that the two party system is obsolete. Mr. Leslie Brown starred In the rebuttals. The "young soldier" launch (Continued on Page 2) PUB. TEA The entire staff of tno Publications Board le Invited to the "Pub. Tea" to be held In the Cafeteria from A—5 this afternoon—NOT PREEI Co-Education— In Theory Only Men and Women Uuder Disadvantage at Dances. It has been suggested that more social events about the University might be made joint affairs between men and women as regards organisation and expense. Theoretically, at least, the formal dances ot each faculty are only accessible to the men. At the present time, tho organization of nearly all University and faculty functions is in tbelr hands. They do most of the work and toot the bill. The more fortunate warned; on the other hand, are called for, danced with, fed, and more or less luxuriously delivered ){o their respective homes. Obviously the division of labor and expense Is most unfair. At the same time many women attending the faculty- which the function is supposed to represent, have not the opportunity of attending. In most cases these women would willingly take their share ot the burden, for the sake of the privilege of attending the function. The remedy- suggested Is that, In functions already established and supposedly representative, the women he given an opportunity of sharing tho work, the expense—and, hy no means incidentally, the enjoyment. Otherwise coeducation is simply a theory, aud not a practice, In this by no means unimportant phase of university life. —Toronto Varsity. Contributions for S.F. Fund Sought During the last few years tho words international and international good will, and internationalism havo appeared with increasing frequency in discussions throughout the student world. In a few American universities this new interest has taken a definite form. Yale University students have adopted a sister university In the Orient, promising an exchange of students by scholarships and financial support. The students ot Canada express this same interest in other students through the Student Friendship Fund, to which many nations, Including Germany, now contribute. There nre few students who wouhl not give a great deal to spend a year lu a foreign university, In order to know the students of that land. Of course fow can do this. But through the Student Friendship Fund, International scbolarslps and conferences will to some extent be possible. The Fund also provides self help schemes tor studeuts wherever most needed. These are but a few of Its phases. Students of Canada are particularly undertaking the support of Mr. Nlkltln, ot Bulgaria, who is doing student work in hia native country. Student conditions there are still bad, aud many need a little financial assistance. As a result, U. B. C. students are all to be given an opportunity to contribute their nickels and dimes to help students abroad. Relay To Be Ron Over New Course Mr.LexMcKUIop,ArU'25, Donates Trophy Students who have been reading the Ubyssey and the local papers will have noticed that the present session gives promise of greater track activity than any previous term. The first of these outstanding events will be the Arts '80 relay, on February 84th. This year, for the llrst time, the race will not he run over the old course from Point Grey to Vancouver, but will be changed as follows.— The start will be made from the aerial tramway, along Mar ine Drive to Imperial Street. Then north on Imperial to 18th Avenue, along this thoroughfare to Tolmie Street, down to the Bus Line and along University Avenue, finishing on the Mall in front ot the Administration Building. This new course has the advantage of giving spectators the opportunity to witness both the start and finish ot the race; In answer to those who state that this change In course will destroy one of the oldest traditions, the track executive wish it understood that the matter has received every consideration by them. They have favored the change because of the difficulty of running over the old course due to the greatly increased volume of traffic. Another feature adding interest to this event is the donation of a handsome bronse statue as a trophy to the winning team. This trophy has been offered by Mr. Lex. MoKil- lop, whb*rAn- in the felay leveral times aa a member of the team of Arts '25. This statue is at present on view in the book store. At the time of writing, Arts' 89 are whispered to be favorites, but Arte 'ii are not letting the grass grow under their feet. Ten days after this will be the lnter-class track meet on March 8th. The Introduction of much new talent as well as some of the old stand-bys points to a more successful meet this year than ever before. This will be used as far as possible as an elimination for the meet with College of Puget Sound ou March 14th. The last event, on this term's programme will be the Dunlop Road Race, to he run on Good Friday, April 2nd. This Is a live mile race, and was won hy Varsity last year. Possessing as we do, some of the finest distance men in tho Province, we look for Varsity to repeat this year. A handsome shield is the trophy in this race. Rules Governing Use of Notice Boards 2.

GORDON, Assistant 4 \\1 "MS AMERICANGAME IS UPHELD BY STUDENT Other Side of Question of American Football at U.B.C. U Presented. , Editor Ubyssey: At Point Orey at present, unlver* slty spirit, or as sometimes called, "undergraduate morale", Is at a low ebb; having gradually declined sines the time of Ab. Richards, during whose regime the great building paign was carried on. This camps1 served as a unifying influence witU, the university: all the students work- > ing towards one common objeetlvs,, \\ The building campaign Is now a thing ,( of the past, but nothing has been put In its place, and as a result the stud* ents have no "anchor." Might not inter-colleglate competition tie what we are looking for, and around which this 'esprit de corps" may be built up? It Is quite possible that this might solve the problem. Nsoossary te Compete with U. *% ' 'f. ■ Local competition will not suffice. L it did in the past, but since our te* $|| moval from the old buildings, there is need of something broader. Location at Point Grey has given us the external environment necessary to h, university. The Internal phase must be built up by some effort On our part. When the university begias to grow as it undoubtedly will with the growth of the province, the standard of athletics will corTespondingtrtigfr; tt is unlikely that local competftlo* ,*! will be able to keep pace with thii growth so that we will be forced to turn to sister colleges for competi* ■! tion. A game ot rugby, soccer, or ''"-'$ basketball with a local aggregation ,[\\ will not form a fitting feature tor a "homecoming" program, a tradition, '' which we hope will be established; here soon. Thus It is that inter*,' . collegiate competition Is necessary. Now where will we get this competi* * '8 tion and In what sports? Geographical location unfortunately forces us to look to American colleges. And the most logical sports to participate In are rugby, or as It Is called on the other side American Football, and , basketball. And of these two foot-,/ ball is most Important. Then we must focus our attention on American football. Advantages of Such Competition Let us look at the advantages to be gained from such competition. First, the unifying influence spoken of above, which would of a certainty result. Second, publicity. Tragic as it may seem, a university is known by Its athletic achievements. Adoption of American football here would mean more publicity for us than any other attainment yet achieved, No matter what phase of university life is being advertised—social, Intellectual or athletic—publicity Is a desirable thing as long as such publicity is not notorious. Through our American football activities last fall, this college received more favorable publicity than from any other event, with the possible exception of the Western Canada Basketball Championship of last spring. A third advantage and possibly the greatest, la gained from the fact that football Is a seasonal game. Thus a football player trains Intensively In the fall term, but after the middle of November his football activities are over and h« Is free to apply himself to his studios. The university Itself would be able to concentrate on American football before Xmas and on\\ basketball after Xmas. Concentrated! attention for three months is better* than half-hearted attention for six months. Supposed Disadvantages Dealt With Now let us look at some of the supposed disadvantages brought up in the "Ubyssey" last week.

MASS MEETING RESULTS Now that the flurry of lust week's mass mooting has disappeared, even upholders of the vigilance committee admit that the Alma Mater Society has only settled half tho question it raised. The blame lies primarily with the lenders in the opposition to the present system of discipline. Their campaign was so poorly organized that, despite the obvious fact that considerably more than the "three hundred5' favored publication of the names of the committee, no resolution to that effect waa moved. An unintentional oversight on the part of the chairman caused the meeting to be broken up without proper adjournment, and removed the last chance the opposition had of waking up and putting a new motion. The chairman's error, however, has left it open for opposers of ' the Secret Marshall system to demand a second vote. If Council had dismissed the meeting continually, we would say that the "three ■ hundred" and more should petition for a second meeting. So it Stands, however, the onus is technically upon Council to either call a meeting or to arrange for a poll. • . The later alternative Is, we think, the better. The question was • fully discussed last week, so that to hold another meeting would waste much time. But as it ia evident that a great many who voted 40Wn.Wednesday's motion aa being too radical are yet in favour of a vigilance system conducted on more open principles, it is imperative that the Council arrange for an immediate poll. CLASS DRAWS livery one has now recovered from the Christmas holidays, and having rested for a few weeks at University, is now ready to enter Sily into the season of class parties. And with class parties come oae heetic things, class draws ,and once again the old, old question: "Why have a class draw?" Class draws are not divinely inspired affairs; they have their jterjr serious drawbacks. In a university, all types of characters are to be found from the innocent to the wise, from the serious to go flippant. It ia dangerous, to say the least, to throw these oppos- f? types together, and expect them to enjoy each other's company, upon order. , ,, Which brings Us to a second objection to class draws. When, as a rule, students enter a university, they begin immediately to cultivate originality and individuality, (Witness the sartorial idio- SHeresies of the freshman.) And feeling their individuality, they ay object to being realized into pleasure. Pleasure, to be great, lias to be spontaneous, and that demon Luck often withdraws the spontanaety for some from a class party. The class party, however, is not for some, but for all. And the draw has proved the only way of assuring that all turn out for the annual event. In the first three years at least, tho classes are large, and divided; so that there is little chance for students tn become acquainted. Without the draw, many would stay home, simply because they did not know the members of their own year. By the time students reach their senior year, they should he able to run without the draw. Some other method of assuring that all seniors and seniorettes arrive safely should be devised. But so far, no feasible plan has been presented, and so those students of '26 who have the gambling instinct, may look forward to the Senior Class Ball. Draws that are not the most desirable method of giving all a good time, but so far at least, they are to be most expedient. AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT Like all really great newspapers, the Ubyssey is not too proud to acknowledge even the slightest of attentions, and it is to provide immediate proof that such an attitude is ours, that we here pause to bow, humbly, we hope, to recent comments by the lecturer in a well-known class. Amongst other constructive criticisms, the lecturer suggests that our organ might be raised to an even higher standard that it now enjoys, if some method were adopted whereby the editors could devote more time to their work. Such a suggestion comes to us as a pleasant surprise, indeed. We are on the point of initiating a campaign for the granting of university credits to undergraduates filling major posts in student government. We are, therefore, delighted to feel that already we have one member of the faculty who would be prepared to give us his whole-hearted support. Musical Society Plans Concert This year Varsity is to be favored by a distinct novelty. To those who do not know, let It be stated that tho Musical Society has scoured the services of a conductor ot exceptional ability. Mr. Williams, assistant conductor of the Capitol orchestra, is a man of lifelong experience In musical circles. From the exceptional quality of the offerings, and also from the character of a number of the pieces, we are Jus- tilled In calling the evening ot this concert our "Op«ra Night." Everything Is being done lu true operatic style—there are to bo costumes, settings, prologues antl the kind of orchestra that characterises the better typo of musical offerings. This concert Is being held In the Auditorium on the evening of Friday, February 26. Further details will be published later. Keep the date In mind. Women's Basketball Last Saturday night, Normal Gym. was the scene of great disorder. Figures darted hither and thither. Half a dozen would become entangled, until finally one would disengage itself—herself—and tear off, with a whole paok at her heels. Now a sharp, piercing sound would cause all to face reluctantly apart. Then a second similar sound again would set the wheels going. What was it? Well, merely five girls out to win honours for the Blue and Oold. It was a great occasion, that evening when Varsity Senior A Team met Ex-North Vancouver High girls to decide which was supreme In the world of basketball (but bo few rootors were there to appreciate the game). Who was supreme? Well, Varsity, to bo exact. Score? A mere 27—4. Outstanding players? The faithful Doris Shorney (16 pts.) and Flora Musgrave (11 pts.) What shall we do? Say "thanks, awfully," and give them a skyrocket. Varsity Wins Debate (Continued from Page 1) ed a terlfBc counter-attack that shattered the forces of the enemy. He proved that a return to the two party system could be brought about by an amalgamation of the Liberals and Progressives. He defeated the argument of his opponents concerning the success of the French group system. Nothing whatever had been said against the two party system. If one party went to the dogs, It did not affect this system. The traditional British two party system placed her In the splendid financial position which enabled her to pay off so much on the U. 8. A. debt. The only essentials to good government were two parties; a strong government, and an opposition. - *ay TEA FOR OUT-OF-TOWN GIRLS A ten will he given for (lie third and fourth year out-of-town glrln, In the upper common room of the Art! liiillding.

And when one considers the number of Varsity students present, both members of the Players' Club, and the mere components of the vulgar throng, one la almost tempted to wonder If there were many non-students lu the vicinity. However, that Is not the point, at present. What we are trying to do Is to thank those who mads It possible for the sudents to see that 'farce comedy" practically FREE. The play was certainly worth the money. But seriously It was good. The plot was extremely mlrth-pro- voklng and at times humorously sati rical. The acting, especially that of Nella Jeffries as Mrs. Shut tie worth, who felt that "something must be done," and of Barry Jones iih the dead husband, was really excellent. "Cameron Matthews and his distinguished English company" are to bo congratulated on their presentation of "Too Many Husbands." REMEMBER !

The hosts of verdant Freshies are almost scared to death, They tremble ai. their shadows, and have to hold their breath, They cast affrighted glances and give affrighted leaps, They hide from one another and mutter In their sleeps; And all the other students, when the lectures have been done, Just cluster in the common-room, prepared to cut and run, And listen to the stories that the Seniors tell about How the Vigilants will get you It you don't watch out. And all the older Btudents Bay, when the night comes on, And the bright lights flicker, and tbe profs, have gone, And the motor buses "peep" and the fog is grey, And the janitors have made their rounds and gone away, You better read the by-laws and have your hand-book near, Be humble to your sen lorn und never, never Jeer, And never lu the hallways try to take a smoke, or shout, For the Vigilants will j?et you If you don't watch out.

(I knew at once that she had boon rending Edgar (luost again). "Rut," I protested, "'tis when I most tlo write that 1 havo most to fear." Upon the face of the sweetest editor appeared a Mona Lisa smile. 'Truth is mighty," she said vaguely, "and will prevail." Therefore, I take up again tho subject of the change in the Arts '20 Relay course; for, though truth will prevail who knows how- long it will take? Several of the track stars have apprehended me since my last article, but unfortunately have totally failed to apprehend my meaning. I find that the present course is unsatisfactory because of traffic interference, both by delay and by emission of a noxious gas, to wit: 0,0. Now, to the best of my knowledge, last year saw a new record established over the old course; and If traffic was ever to interfere seriously, last year was the time for It to do so, 1 contend that It Is only on the last lap that there Is danger of traffic Interference; and before taking upon themselves the serious responsibility of doing away with a race established by a former class, track officials would be well advised to rrake one more strong effort to have the old course clear. An Explanation Long Over-due Numerous Inquiries have been received by tho feature staff as to why this page Is not humorous or even honestly funny. These questions do not find a sole source In the alert minds of the student body; several cultured professors have uttered damning strictures regarding the lack of wit so evident in these columns; often the editorials elicit more laughter. We are now In a position to reveal to our critics the difficulties under which we labour. Last week's page, as sent to the printer, was hilariously funny. So funny was it that the editors havo become, lu consequence, chronic hypochondriacs at the thought that It can never be published, let alone equalled. Compositor after com- por.itor essayed to set up the page, and one exceptional man did get through Home half-dozen lines, but even as the rest, he collapsed, shrieking wilh laughter, his physical form throateiieil with (ittcr disintegration. Fven were we. at |*Teat cost, to httVe the pane published, evil alone would ensue. The campus, hy one o'clock, would be srewn with outstretched and helpless forms of students; and by each pathetic body would be a Ubyssey, open at the Muck page, mute testimony to the strength of our humour. Therefore, we modestly refrain, and keep the page as dull as ditch wuter. We wish lo call the attention of tho attorney gonetal to the disgraceful fact that, despite tho fact we voted against prohibition, McLaughlins, the ginger ale people, have made Canada Dry.

According to tha results of the past semester at the University of Michigan, the average grade of athletes stands well above the average of those who do not participate in athletics." Moreover with training shacks at Point Orey, the two hours spent travelling to and from the University could be spent In training, (8) "It would entail a great ox- penoe," I fall to see the objection since gate receipts Invariably cover expenses. I see an advantage here since a student can gain valuable experience In juggling accounts, AH our games last fall were a financial success, (8) 'instead of being almost unique and a thoroughly respected institution, our University would become a minor imitation ot those academic nacblnes which at present disgrace many states of the Union." I think the only disgrace a team could bring to a university would be through unsportsmanlike conduct—a thing which we do not heed to worry about as Is testified by the Kamloops and College of Puget Sound papers referring to our basketball and football teams respectively. This is what the Puget Sound Trail says of our football team: "They have one characteristic which would be an asset to any college In the country—that spirit of sportsmanship which will remain to many of us, the outstanding memory of a day which will make foot- tall history," That from the pen of Prof. Hedley of that Institution. (4) "The actual playing of games would become limited to a small group of carefully trained supermen, trained to fight our battle against another institution, while the majority took their exercise rooting." In English rugby fifteen men compose a team, and no substitutes are allowed; thus, It a man Is injured he must either quit the field, leaving his team at a disadvantage or continue to play as a passenger. In the American code eleven men compose a team, but substitutes are allowed. The first team of most American colleges is composed of upwards of fifty men, exclusive of the freshman team which has a schedule of Its own. The main objection seems to be the danger of "commercialism." It Is interesting to note the attitude of American colleges regarding this problem. One of the major coast institutions recently made a proposal that only such men could participate In athletics as could prove that they themselves or direct relatives were financing their college career. Whether or not this proposal was adopted ut the confer- emv meeting, is not yet known. For the above reasons the adopt ion of American football would he in the best interests of the University. It Is a serious step and needs the thoughtful consideration of every student before the vote Is taken. WM. E. THOMSON, Arts '28, Vlce-Pres. American Football Club. B.

At first Varsity was In the lead, but the Meralomias gained in the last events. Indeed, It was a hard-fought contest all the way through, and the hundred or so spectators were kept on the edge of their chairs all owning. The events were as follows:— I. Men's back stroke, In which Art Daw, of Meralomias, took first; Reg. Wilson and Phil Matheson, of Varsity, took second and third. Time 1 min, 8 8-8 sees, 3. 60 yards, ladies, free style, in which Nellie Melllsh captured third for Varsity. 8. Men's plunge, Alan Stewardson was first with 49 ft 2 Ins., and Matheson second with 48 ft. 1 ins. 4. 100 yards, breast stroke, ladles. Sylvia Thrupp was easily first, and Mary Ross second. Time 1 min. 39 1-5 sees. 5. 100 yards, men's free style, in which Tike Abernethy won first place and Stewardson second. Time 1 min. 11 2*5 sees. 6. Ladles' diving. Jean Oi'ley was a close second, and Nelly Melllsh third. 7. 60 yards, free style, , men, in which Doug. Bell won a close third, being about 1 second behind the first man. The time was 3 1-5. 8. 100 yards free style, women. Miss Atkinson took second and Sylvia Thrupp third. Time 1:20 8-6. «. Men's diving. Tupper of Varsity was first, Lering Stokes of Meralomias third, and another Meralomias man third. 10. 50 yards ladles, back stroke, in which Mary Carter won third place for Varsity, II. 200 yards free style, men. Tike Abernethy captured a close second for Varsity. Time 6:58. 12. 100 yards breast stroke. Monty Wood took second and Arland third. 13. Ladies' plunge. Jean Gilley was easily Arst in this event, and Miss Munro second. 14. The ladles' relay was lost owing to the futlgue of the Varsity swimmers. 15. The men's relay was the "big" event of the night. The swimmers raced neck and neck from one end to the other, and the "finishers" ended In a dead beat. Therefore, the judges awarded' the decision to both, each club splitting the points. The Varsity team was made up of Doug. Bell, Al. Stewardson, Reg. Wilson and Tike Abernethy. Varsity suffered a defeat, but It wits a glorious defeat, and everybody is certain that if such swimmers as Otto Gill, Bruce McDonald, MacKeclcnle, Mary Robertson, Lllooet Green, and Johnnie Lyons had been able to compete, U. B. C. would havo had an overwhelming victory. However, this match was not a league match, so that Varsity does not suffer. The next contest with Meralomias will certainly mean victory to U. B.

Senior 'A' Shows Return to Form Varsity demonstrated on Saturday night that they will be very much in the running for B. C. basketball title when they took the Westminster Y into camp 26-28. It was a heotlo struggle and was by far the best game in the Senior A ranks this year. The passing was good and for the most of the way the boys had their eyes right on the basket. Long shooting was the big feature of the game. Varsity started the long passing game while New Westminster favored short passing and dribbling. Doug tirlmstone opened the score for the Y with a dribble down the floor. H. Henderson equalised right after with a close-In shot. In the first half Varsity was a little off In their shooting but held Y down to 18 points while they collected 8. The second half was crowded with action, Westminster having the advantage of a 7-polnt lead which they held most or the way. With three minutes left the Blue and Ootd were 5 points behind. Freddy Newcombe rose to great heights when he pulled the game out of the fire with two beautiful baskets followed by Nes- bltt's field basket and a free throw. Tanny Butler added another point on a free throw, with thirty seconds to play. Varsity—P. Newcombe, 9; D. Hartley, 2; A. Henderson, 2; H. Henderson, 2; W. Turpin, 2; R. Gordon, 2; D, Nesbltt, 8. Westminster Y—Brick McDonald, 6; 8. McDonald, 2; E. Paulson, 8; Lynch, 2; M. Shiles, 6; D. Qrlmstone, 2. SECOND S0CCERITES WALL0WT0 WIN The second soccer team sallied forth on Saturday like a band of husky heroes to do battle with the Kerrisdale team. The latter, however, could field only eight men, and with this lineup were naturally outplayed, although at all times they worked hard. Rain fell in torrents during the game with the result that there was as much mud slinging as in a real political football game. Manager Llersch made a good showing, but was repeatedly penalised tor injecting his umbrella Into the fray. In the end the reforeo kicked him off. Plump Oeorge Dynes was the first to bathe his ample figure in the muddy treacle, and from then on, player after player fell and rose completely changed. Evans scored three goals in the first half and one in the second, while Tom Warden and Swanson each put on their spectacles long enough to chalk up a marker. Kerrisdale were unable, now with nine men, to break through the Varsity defence, and the game petered ont, the score standing at 6—0. Incidentally this win may save Varsity from relegation to the third division. The Team: Sutherland; Dynes and Warden; Swanson; Leek and Robertson; Miller; Stevenson; T. Warden; Evans, and Splllsbury. BADMINTON Men's interclaas is scheduled for next Tuesday In King Edward gym. at 8 p.m. Both singles and doubles will be played. The first match of the term will be played when Varsity meets the 7th Battalllon A Division on Saturday evening in the Drill Hall.
