Try-out Parts Are Dis-tribute; Judging

Begins

NO SPRING TOUR"Caesar and Cleopatra," by George

Bernard Shaw, Is to be the springplay of The Players Club. This Is aspectacular production with a largecast, and it means there will be n otour .

Rehearsals are being rushed asquickly as possible. On Tuesday, MissDorothy Somerset, director, outlinedthe plot at a general meeting of thePlayers' Club. On Wednesday try -out parts were distributed. This after-noon the advisory board o9 the clu bwill sit in judgment and make thepreliminary selections for the part .

14 Cleopatra AspirantsThis year there are only two female

parts, but they both are good ones.Consequently there are 14 aspirant sfor Cleopatra, and seven for Ftata-teeta, the nurse to the queen . Thegirls are offered one more chance inthe part of the boy king Ptolemy, wh omay be played by either sex.

Caesar is the leading male character ,and four men are trying out for th epart . Three of them were in "Alibi"last spring—Bill Sargent, Tommy Leaand Gerald Prevost. Masala Cosgraveand Margaret Stewart, trying fo rCleopatra, have also had spring playexperience . Still another is HaroldLando, one of the five competing forthe part of Rufio, Caesar's general .

Many Male RolesThere is no paucity of parts for the

men, there being nine important roles

DOROTHY SOMERSETfor them, as well as a plenitude ofdecorative duties as soldiers andslaves. The would-be Cleopatras, too ,will appear on the stage as attendantsand, ladles-in-wafting .

Miss Dorothy Somerset, the director,will have a particularly heavy task ,but she proved her ability to produceShaw last year in the VancouverLittle Theatre's presentation of "Bac kto Methuselah," which she directedand took to Ottawa for third placein the Dominion Drama Festival .

National Armament

Attitude Defined

A new executive of officers wereelected and the future policy of theInternational Relations Club was dis-cussed at its annual meeting Wed-nesday night at the home of Dr. andMrs. Carrothers .

George Luxton presented a papertracing the developments and achieve-ments of the world Disarmamen tConference. George Dolsen then read .a paper on The National Attitudesin the Present Disarmament Con-ference. Britain, France and Unite dStates and Russia, said Mr. Dolmen ,are pacificts In temper but Italy ,Germany and Japan are takingstrong militaristic stands . The worldIs biding its time restively with analmost complete lack of confidenc eafter the Sino-Japanese conflict . Forthis reason the world is returning tocompetitive armaments and secre tdiplomacy .

Can we have international Peace ?To this question Mr. Dolsen repliedyes—if we want it and are willingto sacrifice In the cause of peace tothe same extent as we do for war.

Canada has at least two means forpreventing war. Through her closeconnection with the British Common -wealth and the United States she caninfluence their policies for peace . Onher cwn account she may sever trad erelations .

The election of the president wasdeferred and the following officerselected : Vice-president, Helen Tay-lor ; secretary, Joan Clotworthy ; Com-mittee, Estelle Matheson and GeorgeDolsen .

'

It was resolved by Students' Council at their regular meet-ing on Monday night that a letter be sent to the president an dexecutive of the basketball club, requesting that some action betaken within two weeks to promote a larger attendance at game sin the U.B.C. gym.

Collins' Opinion

0

Conversation of council members

with the basketball executive ha d

apparently been frequent. To quote

Mark Collins, president of the A.M .

S. : "The games aren't properly ad-

vertised and basketball is going to

' the dogs. We should deliver an ul-

timatum that unless they take reall y

definite action in two weeks we wil l

either ask them to elect a new ex-

ecutive or appoint one ourselves . "

Council did not make very specific

charges against the executive . The

advertising methods of the basketball

executive came in for most abuse and

council were of te opinion that ,since they appare#ly could not ge tinto the papers, they ought to tr yplacards and attempt to rouse som eenthusiasm in the high schools andat the university itself.

THE UBYSSEY

Friday, January 12, 1934

WE GRIPE HIM

The Ubyssey ,Dear Sirs :

I have suffered in silence overlong,and I can remain silent no longer .Last Tuesday's issue was too much .

Your editorial writer gripes me . Ihave stood him fairly well so far, bu tthen I always try to practice self-control . During the noon-hour whenI read your sheet I have survived hispolitical meander&ngs with little dam -age save a tendency towards slightIndigestion during the ensuing after -noon. But now !

The news story which provoke dhis 'editorial was bad enough. Bothit and the editorial reek of the sen-sational, screaming excitedly aboutthe cultural level of universities ingeneral, and of thi3 university in par-ticular. One would infer from read-ing them that we are a lot of nin-nies, numbskulls, jobberknowls an dhoddy-doddles . We are not. At least

in competition that is as stiff, as, ifnot stiffer than that of any othermajor sport on the campus . This isthe Club's second year in the V. andD. First division, in which sectionof the league the teams are selectedfrom the pick of Vancouver's soccerworld and are not limited by restric-tions that are imposed on our team.Nevertheless, although the Socce rClub does not have a large turnoutof prospective players, it fields oneof the strongest teams in the league.If the Club were advancd to a majo rstanding, the turnout would be pro-portionately greater and the result•ing teams proportionately stronger. Atpresent Varsity is one of the biggestdrawing cards in the V . and D. FirstDivision, having but lately beate nthe Chinese (3-0) and drawn withSt. Andrews (1 .1) .

(c) For continuance of the presen tcalibre of the Varsity Soccer Club ,the following points will prove thestability of the game on the campus :1 . All Elementary Schools take part

in soccer leagues . High schoolscarry on the work, and various jun-

moat of us are not .

for leagues also produce players.You claim to have the results of 2 . This year two recruits from first

a survey designed to determine the year men made places at once onmost widely read publication among the senior team . Probably three ofthe students of U.H .C. I happen to I this year's Junior Alliance team arehave learned that your survey was ready for promotion. With mentaken in a small class of history hon- coming in from the High Schools,our students . They selected the Na- the problem seems met and likel ytional Geograpnic, Current History ,and so on. If it had been a class ofchemistr y students the choices wouldhave been Chemical Abstracts andthe Journal of the American Chemi-cal Society. So what?

Your survey was simply not sig-nificant, yet you based your "lead "story on it. Gentlemen, I ask you ,is that the practice of a reputabl epublication?

And what, may I ask, have you go tagainst McLean's Mngazine? As pop-ular magazines go its standard Is quiterespectable . To mention it in th esame breath with Liberty Is nothingshort of lese majeste . Surely youdon' t mean to imply that people wh oread more often for enjoyment thanfor increasing their understanding ofthe oppressed minorities in the Bal-kans are morons . I, for one, hopethey are not .

And speaking of literary quality,your editorial writer must himselfadmit that his effusions are far fro mbeing masterpieces of literary style.And to make matters worse, he fol-lows his dissertation on our literarylow-life with a blurb labelled, "Wan-na picture?" It's beyond me.

I have a few words for the CampusCrab, as well . Let him rant at thefutility of Latin and Greek if he will ,but please try to ii,stil in his heartan appreciation for German . He sai dit is useful in science, but that al lthe important works have been trans-lated anyway . If he will tell m ewhere i may obtain translations o fBeilstein, which comes in umptee nvolumes without which the organi cchemist would be lost, or of suc hjournals as Beriebte der deutsch echemische Gesellschaft from say 1850on, or of the Koiloid-Zeitschrift, whichis probably the hest journal of col-loid chemistry ;n any language, in-cluding the Scandinavian, I shall b enot only immene ly gratified, but Ishall also be sun prised .

To conclude on a more pleasantnote, please offer my thanks to Mr .Mayne for his story . It was more en-joyable than anything I have readfor some time.

Hoping you will be the same, I a m

Yours sincerely ,

(CORRESPONDENCE )

Editor, Ubyssey .Dear Sir :

In connection with the meeting o fthe Men's Athlete : Association whic his to be called next Wednesday t odecide whether or not Soccer is to beraised to the status of a major sport ,we, the 'executive of the Soccer clubhereby request that you publish thefollowing letter . It was submitted to

the M.A.A. Executive and the Stu -dents' Council and was passed b yboth bodies as a suitable basis fo rdiscussion on the problem. There-fore we desire this letter to be print-ed that the matter may be discussedbefore the meeting assembles .

The letter follows :

"Secretary U .B .C. Men's A.A.,"Dear Sir :

"We, the executive of the VarsitySoccer Football Club, hereby mak eformal application for the advance-ment of the above organization fro ma sub-major to a major sport ratin gand for the following reasons :

(a) The Soccer Club is one of themost active sports bodies on the

campus . It fields two good teams ;one in the Vancouver and Distric tFirst Division and the other in the

V. and D. Junior Alliance . The In-terclass Soccer league is operated an dcontrolled by members of the Var-sity Football club, and provides ac-tive competition for at least 125 me nstudents at a conservative estimate(exclusive of the members of both

teams) .

(b) Last season the senior tea mwon its way to the final of the Main -land Cup competition . The final gamewas lost to Chinese Students by a

4-3 score . The Senior team this yea ris even stronger than that of las t

season. The Senior team takes par t

to be met from year to year.

3. There . is occasionally, every yearin fact, a good soccer player whois attracted away from the game bythe lure of a major sport and Itspossibilities of winning a Big Block .A major standing would eliminatethis loss of playing material.

4. The Interclass League uncoversdormant talent in a manner that isquite Impossible to duplicate insome sports on the campus thatpossess a major rating.

(d) players who have performedon Varsity's Senior Soccer team inthe past, and those who are playingat present, are of sufficiently hig hcalibre to be sought out as desirabl eperformers by teams of the Pacifi cCoast and Senior Soccer Leagues .This rates them as amongst the bestin the province.

"Some time ago the Soccer Clu brelinquished its major standing to theCanadian Rugby Club because It wasfelt by the executive that it was un-fair' to keep a stranger club from hold-ing a major position . Now that theclub is on is feet once more, and i scapable of resuming its major stand -

FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1934

RUSHING RACKETOnce more the fraternities are engaged i n

their annual orgy of spring rushing . As the

Ubyssey has pointed out before, the rushin g

system at this University has developed in a

very unsatisfactory way.So-called eligible freshmen are rushed fro m

party to party, dinner to dinner, in a perpetual

cycle of hand shaking and kow-towing. Many

of them, by their bewildered expressions ,

hardly know what it is all about .Others, considering themselves more sophis-

ticated, bask in the adulation of their seniors ,

and if their membership is . desired in several

fraternities, their vanity increases in direct pro-

portion to their so-called desirability .A system such as this is decidedly detrimen-

tal to the individual . The continual round o f

hectic social activities detracts bath from th estudies and the legitimate university interest s

of the freshmen . Fraternity members also suf-fer, spending more money than they can af-ford entertaining people, many of whom hav eno desire or intention to join the fraternity .

These abuses are obvious . To find a solu-tion to the problem is considerably more dif-ficult than to find fault. The Ubyssey con-siders, however, that steps should be take nby the Inter-fraternity Council before nex t

year, to limit not only the number of function s

which a fraternity may give, but also to limi tthe number of functions which the rushee ma y

attend .

patra" by George Bernard Shaw is an attrac-tive choice, offering a maximum of color an dgaining much effect from a large cast, whic hthough a setback in commercial production isa real asset in Club presentations. The playwhen first acted in London in 1912 produce dquite an effect as an earlier example of "de -bunking," or to use its more dignified designa-tion, iconoclasm. Since then debunking hasbecome a fashion, Maxwell Anderson's "Eliza-beth the Queen " produced recently at the LittleTheatre being one such product . The tenacit yhowever, with which heroic legends cling toundeservingly famous men of history, demon-strates the modern necessity of the debunker .

The Ubyssey last term voiced its criticism ofthe 1933 choice of "Alibi" by the prolific mys-tery-machine, Agatha Christie, pointing ou tVancouver's stock company could (and had )produced that type of play with finer polis hand suavity. This paper is therefore gratifiedto observe a return to the field of better drama ,and drama which benefits by that attention t odetail which the Players Club is able to con-

tribute .

BROTHER, CAN YUH SPARE A DIME ?Recent criticism by Students ' Council of the

methods used by the Basketball Club ' s execu-tive in advertising the games in an ineffectualmanner appears to us to be unfair to the offi-cials of the athletic body in question . At pre-sent affairs in the basketball world of thiscity are in a sorry state with regards to fin-ance and public interest. Therefore it seem sto the unbiased observer that the basketballexecutive cannot be expected to producecrowds and gate receipts at a time when suchcommodities are practically an unknown quan-tity.

It is true that student support of the team i sdecidedly lacking, but this is chiefly due tolack of time and funds rather than lack of

spirit. In other years, when the depressionhad not affected the campus, basketball flour-ished and produced enough money to finance

BY NANCY MiLES

We 're goaing to start the New Year rather

bitterly with a doubtless futile attempt to re -

form you. Probably not you personally, buta certain element of the university, a distinc tminority, but a minority whose powers of self -expression are of the sort to make it appea r

a rather overwhelming majority, which black -ens the good name of the rest of the univer-sity .

It's the tendency of some members of thi suniversity when assembled to go violently col-legiate and become monotonously bromidic .This is a conversation distinctly heard and re-ported to us, by a sufferer who accompanied

a group of students, all unwillingly, in the same

pullman; the hour is 1 :30 a.m."Oh, Bi-ull .""I got the swellest new girdle, five dollars ,

it stretches three ways . ""Well, Jack, I guess you'll have to slee p

on a hat rack . ""Does it hold you in pretty well? ""Gosh, look at the cee-yute little lace

things. "

"Your hat's deplorable ." (Probably meaningadorable . )

1'A few spanks earlier would give her alot more charm than a three-way stretch ." Thi sin embittered tones from a non-partisan .

And so on, ad infinitum, ad nauseam .Average manners and consideration fo r

others are a requisite for every profession, wit hthe possible exception of chorus-hoofing, shop -lifting, and gangstering, and for the last name dbusinesses, a degree is not absolutely essen-tial . No wonder potential employers look ongraduate applicants with a somewhat dubiou s

eye. And the trouble is the loud-speakers are ,in a minority.

A little addenda to this moral lesson migh tinclude the etiquette in taxi-cabs. A little re-search among the taxi companies reveals tha tall drivers feel they have a heavy cross t obear. Cross examination reveals that the bur -den is Varsity students .

Chief offenses : putting feet beside them onthe seat, putting feet into the front seat, whic hnot only endangers the pristine freshness ofupholstery, but makes a driver nervous, andlastly sprinkling cigarette ashes with promis-cuousness .

It's enough to make anyone bitter .

EAVESDROPPING DEPT .Our bright thought for this week does no t

come from the university . What we've over-heard there this week would not even fit intoLiberty 's "Bright Sayings of Children " col-umn. This came from the heart of a highschool student, who looked soulfully into th eface of a dog on his lap, and remarked, "I 'dlike to bite her nose . I bet it would taste likea piece of wet Turkish Delight . "

USELESS INFORMATION DEPT.George Washington had a set of false teeth ,

a beautiful set, quite unique in history, becausethey were carved, en suite, from a piece ofrhinoceros ivory .

A spectator at the World 's Fair was heardto remark'cynically, while viewing the galler yof Washington pictures, "He must have bee nvery proud of that face of his, or else it mus thave hurt him to waste so much time bein gpainted.

NOTHING-IN-PARTICULAR DEPT .With a prince in the midst of our fair cit y

it seems timely to report something whichamused us in connection with the Mdivan ifamily in their recent matrimonial fracas .TIME, the newsmagazine, with its customar yenchanting impudence wrote the story of th etwo Mdivani romances in detail when the ysplit up. On the layout of the page were pic-tures of Mary McCormick and Poles Negri;under the first was printed, "She only wante dto lose him" and under the second, "—butshe wanted her money back . "

which surrounds Arthur Walrus and me today ,every once in a while we get this way.

Sneers and JeersBy the Campus Crab

Being ptslug comment on the pro-

per are and feeding of infanta, to-

gether with a few remarks on the

latest demonstration of unintentiona l

humor perpetrated on the campus,and an unsolved riddle as to who isthe goat, by The Campus Crab,

Gossip "about town" on collegiateextravagances is not usually reliable ,but the one about the Feat Party onNew Year's Eve during which a mem-ber insisted on baptising his new tuxby immersing himself in a ditch an dthen rolling on a very muddy road,appears to be well substantiated. Sodoes the other one about the infantil eundergraduate who attempted to heavea cat into the punch bowl, with a re-sultant breakage of glassware ,

Having spent the last ten years be -fore the mast, as a brakeman on rail -roads, or working in the mines, I amfar from being a prohibitionist, eithertheoretically or practically, but I havehad impressed upon me the fact thateven among the more brutalized class-es of society, the man who cannothold his liquor is regarded contemp-tuously .

The function of a University is notto be a guardian of public morals(God forbid), but this appears to be acase for action. I would be the firstto explode in indignant verbal pyro-technics if the Senate or the Boardattempted to interfere with my alco-holic consumption, but when we aresaddled with pimply white rabbits o fthe variety that persists in making apublic show of its adolescent concep-tion of virility, we are in need of dis-cipline suited to their junior highschool mentality.

Alternatively, if the Senate is jus-tified in rusticating students for lac kof industry or academic ability, wouldit not be equally justified, and muchto be commended, if it took steps t orid us of morons who are incapabl eof assimilating the culture and dig-nity we are supposed to inculcate ? Ifthey cannot become inebriated in adecent manner, let them depart tosome other sphere where their nau-seating juvenliities may gain the ap-plause they seem to think they de -serve .

If our vaunted superiority to thecommon herd exists at all, its firs tmanifestation should be the pursui tof our vices in a fastidious manner .

Has anything more deliciously ab-surd than the idea of University stu-dents filling local pulpits in order toadvocate' international peace, togetherwith the subsequent development o fthe idea, ever occurred on our cam-

Olympus itself is quaking wit hthe cachinnation of the High Gods .

Do you need a diagram, dear read-er, to appreciate this mirth provokin gillogicality ? Here it is .

First, the minor chuckles . It ap-pears that some fifty or sixty pulpit sare to be supplied simultaneously withperfervid orators, to impress the pop-ulace with our pacifist leanings . Ca nyou imagine the sponsors of this fore -ordained fiasco rushing madly aroun dthe campus behind bloodhound strained to recognize competent speak-ers at sight, or, rather, smell ? Wha tare the odds on their finding the re-quired battalion of spellbinders in ourstudent body ?

Or if they accept the services ofthe self-elected silver-tongueds thatare doubtless waiting to sacrificetheir modesty on the altar of frater-nal love, can you Imagine the ang-uish of the suffering congregations ?

The speakers are to be official rep-resentatives of the University . Would-n't it be rather embarassing for thefive or six clubs behind the move-ment to find the O .T .C . or the mili-tant churchmen who voted last yearto fight "for King and Country," de-meriding an opportunity to expresstheir views, as is their undeniableright, if the movement professes tospeak for us all ?

But the main side-splitting occursIn the deliberations of the club sthemselves. These cooing doves, thesehighly advertised "turners of th eothers cheek," held a banquet to dis-cuss the best method of damping th epugratious instincts of the public .It was a long and arduous discussion .So far as has been learned, no liveswere lost, but the argument flame dhigh .

Christian turned the other cheekto Christian, till patience wore thin ,and they sought opportunity to bur ytheir fangs in each others' juglars .Bhuddlst and Mohammedan, Jew an dAtheist, gave practical demonstrationsof their traditional love for each other ,with occasional healthy digs at theirChristian brethern .

These werepromptly returned. In fact theChristian delegation was by no mean sthe most backward in passing com-pliments .

Finally they propotcd to take ref-uge in the usual storm cellar of anygroup of Varsity students when facedwith problems beyond their tender in-telligence . They considered formin ga new club . If this promising bu dever flowers, we may expect to fin da President and Secretary of Inter -

The Campus Crab has refused toaccept the position of official refereein the new organization.

salutarily humbled . He has just dis-covered that the Master of Concen-trated Phrase long ago covered th efirst portion of this outburst in onesentence . Listen, and revere .

"There'3 men as can drink theirwhack and be no worse for it ; them'sgrown men, but the boys drink fo rhonour and glee/ —Lord'elp e'm—an dthey should be dealt with different ."

In dealing with the explanation sof the 5 different kinds of variables,Mr. Gage said that in the case of theeclipsing binaries, one darker bodyis believed to revolve about a brighterone. The maximum brilliancy occurswhen the stars do not obscure one an -other. The primary or more markedminimum brilliance occurs when thedark body hides the bright one andvice versa. The Doppler effect i sused in determining the orbit of thecompanion star .

In the case of the Cepheids, Mr.Gage said that there are many theor-ies. Sir James Jeans has formed theFission theory that the Cepheid is astar about to become a binary . Thereis also a theory that the revolvingcompanion draws a cloud of nebu-lous matter behind it. Here how-ever, observations and theory do no t

agree. Eddington's pulsation theorypostulates that the star contracts . Th eheat thus produced expands it again .But it overcools and contracts agai nuntil a pulsation is set up. The ob-jection to this theory is that onl yabout one star an a million is a Ce-phpheid and such a phenomenonwould be much more common if tha twas the real explanation.

The lecturer said that the variationof the long period variables Is prob-ably due to a slight contraction an dexpansion. There is also the sunspo t

theory . This theory may apply t othe irregular variables .

The Novae are the most sensationalof the variables. They rise and fallquickly in brilliance and then tailoff gradually into obscurity . Theyare of what is known as the super-giant class and are yellowish-white .One theory is that they may, like ameteor, pass through a nebulouscloud and increase in hest and lightvery greatly .

Mr . Gage showed some interestingslides of light curves of differenttypes of variables and of photographsof Novae and star clusters and so on.

Gage Talks On

Variable Stars

Tuesday Night

Variables Give Evidence of

Other Universes

"Approximately 5 per cent of al l

the known sitars are variable," saidProfessor W, H. Gage of the U .B.C.,in his address on "Variable Stars, "

given to the meeting of the Vancou-

ver branch of the Royal Astronomi-cal Society on Tuesday.

Variable stars have been known

and observed at odd intervals from

some time before the birth of Christcontinued Mr . Gage, but it is onl ycomparatively recently that they havebeen examined carefully and thatscientists have tried to explain thephenomenon.

Tycho's Star

The first important one was Tycho' sstar, seen by Tycho in 1510. Thisstar appeared in the sky and in afew days attained almost to the firstmagnitude. Then it faded rapidl yinto obscurity. This particular typeare called Novae. There have ap-peared about 50 Novae since 1900.Some years later, observers saw an-other varying star, Mira in the con-stellation of Cetus. This was a per-iodic variable ; changing from the 9thto the and magnitude and back in300 days .

Changing MagnitudeThen in 1973 Algol was discovered

to be a variable. It is in tha classknown as the eclipsing binaries . Itsperiod of change was 234 days. OnFebruary 21, 1901, Anderson discov-ered Nova Parsee. It changed its ap-parent magnitude from 2.7 to 0.0 in2 days and was exceeded in bril-liance only by Sirius . It returned to ,the 3d magnitude in 7 days for 14months. It is now fluctuating be-tween the 13th and 14th magnitude .

300 Light YearsIn 1888 said Mr. Gage, Pickering of

Harvard institued a photographic pa-trol. Photography is a great aid inthe discovery and examination ofthese variables . It reveals a nebu-lous mantle around Nova Parseewhich seems to be almost character-istic of Novae . Incidentally, Nov aNersae is so far away that the lightwe seen now left it aproximately 300yeses ago. Most of the variableshave been discovered by accident an damateurs have done a lot of workin this field. The discovery how -ever, is the easiest part, for all avail -able data must be collected and lightcurves plotted and the periodic mag-nitude found .

Light CurvesMr . Gage described and explained

the light curves of stars and showedwhat kind of curve certain particulartypes of variable have . On the basisof light curves, he said that Picker-ing of Harvard has made the follow-ing classification . First there are per -iodic stars and then non-periodic . Un-der the periodic stars are the eclips-ing binaries, the short period vari-ables or Cepheids and the long periodvariables . Under the nonaperiodicare irregular variables and the Novae .

The variables ore also classified b ytheir spectra revealed the speaker .The spectrum is an indication of thecondition and composition of thesource. The Doppler effect is veryimportant . The direction and amountof displacement of the lines in thiseffect gives the direction of move-ment of the star and its velocity .

At last Varsity teams are to have acognomen. No longer are mere Cou-gars, Bears, Vandals, Lions, Grizzlies ,or Huskies to daunt the victoriou smarch of the Blue and Gold Brigade .

We Spot Our Men ! With that her-oic stanza ringing in their ears, de-votees of every conceivable sport onthis fair campus are foreseeing greatthings for their alma meter.

Flinging aside Spartans, Thunder -birds, Corsairs, Musqeams and Gold-en Eagles, future leaders of BritishColumbia, have voiced an overwhelm-ing demand for their preference .

Dalton Scores !

Interclass basketball started out witha bang this week with both '37 classe swinning their games in respectiveleagues. Both these wins were overthe much touted class of '34 .

Fair GameThe Science game on Wednesda y

was a nice mild workout for '37 . Inthe first half they piled up 18 point swhile allowing their opponents a nicefresh goose-egg. The second half wa sa repetition of the first, except that '34got one basket and two foul shots,one of which was technical . The scoreended at 40 to 4 for ' 37. Bill Swanand Bill( Big Bad) Wolfe were out -standing on the winning team .

Upset DopeThe Arts game revealed at last a

team to topple the ' "super-Classers".Arts '37, chiefly through the efforts o fFrank Hay and Ralph Henderson ,former Senior A players, beat th eformerly unbeatable team of '34 bya score of 23-12.Sc, '35 vs Sc. '36 . Thurs. Jan, 18

Vancouver weather detracts some-what from the veracity of this value ,however. In an exclusive interview ,Prof. J. Friend Day informed th eUbyssey that the commercial value ofGuano deposits depends gn an abso-lute absence of rain .

invasion Saturday

TEAM EXPECTS HARD BATTL E

After a comparatively lengthy lay-off, Varsity's' senior Soccermen wil ldon their armour for the first timein the New Year tomorrow, to mee tthe invading Vikings on the Kerris-dale plains.

Hard Battl e

At the start of the present seaso nVarsity administered a crushing 5-1defeat to the Norsemen but the lattercame out on top in a cup-game by a1-0 score. So the rubber should be de-cided tomorrow. And as Vikings onl ylast week held the fleety Chinese Stu-dents to a 2-2 draw, U .B .C. "whatses"will be sure of an exceptionally hardbattle .

Stray ElevenWith this in mind and with an eye

on the valuable brace of points. Var-sity's management has selected a form-idable eleven to take the field . Withthe exception of Millar, McGill andDave Todd, seasoned performers, th eCollegians will be at the proverbial"full strength tomorrow when "Baldy "Clifton blows his judiciary whistle a t2 :30 p.m .

Line Up :Here is the probable line-up: Goal ,

Stan Greenwood ; Backs, Jock Waugh ,and Ernie Costain ; halfbacks, BishThurber, Bill Wolfe, Ruse Stewart ;forwards, Hughle Smith, Paul Kozool-in (c), Jack Martin, Archie MacDoug-all, Gerry Sutherland or Tong Louie,

Beet Game of the YearThis promises to be one of the best

basketball programs this year and alarge turnout is expected . These arethe first of a series of games in whichthere will be keen competition for theleague title.

Henderson, Hay—OutThe loss of Henderson and Hay ha s

severely crippled the Varsity tea mbut some promising material is unde rconsideration . However, at present, n onew men have been signed on . Os-borne is the only guard left, an dWright and Pringle will probably bemoved back from the fojward lineto take the place of the missing de -fence men .
