Just as the students worked for, and obtained successfully, the Point Grey site, the Gymnasium and the Stadium; soindeed, at the time of writing, a students’ <strong>ca</strong>mpaign to make BritishColumbia “University conscious” has just been concluded successfully. This <strong>ca</strong>mpaign climaxes numerous students’ <strong>ca</strong>mpaignswhich have been the outstanding features of several of the past years.During the course of the <strong>ca</strong>mpaign, student delegations interviewedthe Board of Governors, the Provincial Cabinet, and the Conservative Caucus; while student speakers pleaded eloquently for the maintenance of the first-class standard of U.B.C. before meetings ofnumerous organizations both here and in Victoria. <strong>The</strong> <strong>ca</strong>mpaignreached its peak when the students absented themselves fromlectures for two days and <strong>ca</strong>nvassed Vancouver and vicinity to securesignatures for a petition against the proposed cut in the Universitygrant. Students’ Council was <strong>ca</strong>pably represented on the StudentPublicity Committee by Miss Dorothy Myers and Mr. Earl Vance.As in former years, the usual “round table” discussions (poeticlicence), have been conducted over expense accounts of all varieties;fraternities and sororities; the Victoria Invasion; the Social Program; and the Alma Mater Society Constitution.<strong>The</strong>re have been no blow-outs on Council this year, exceptperhaps, the basketball game between the Students’ Council andthe Publi<strong>ca</strong>tions Board, which ended victoriously for the Council.It is best to mention that the women members of Council were ruled“ineligible” and expended their energy on the side lines, cheering forthe team.Talk! Talk! Talk! I blush with shame for my positionwhen I read over the long-winded eulogies in former <strong>Totem</strong>s ofthis “illustrious, etc., etc., etc., councillor;” and have decided toadopt the apparently original, if perhaps, less ornate policy of telling the truth in the Council ‘Write-Up——here it is:<strong>The</strong> members of the fair sex of this institution have scoredagain in their selection of the President of the ‘Women’s Undergrad.Dorothy has <strong>ca</strong>pably handled, and undeniably lived up to, thestandard of her position.

<strong>The</strong> Students’ Council(Cont,r,udf,-o,n Page Seoe,,ty-eighr)has been particularly noticeable for the Spring Term. Her invaluable assistance rendered possible the success of the Danish GymnasticDisplay. Usually around Budget-time, Isobel will be heard toremark, “Is it necessarj to go over that?” She was also the onlywoman member on Council that even <strong>ca</strong>me near to getting a trip;having arrived at the dock to embark for DUNCAN, before thetrip was <strong>ca</strong>lled off! Her chief bores are Alma Mater Meetings, longspeeches, and budgets.Cec. is the one indispensible member on Council. A meetingwithout a Secretary is unheard of, and even though she may muttermaledictions about letters, and say sweetly, “Oh don’t mind me!”—they are always done promptly. Her own private tribulationsare breaking in stenographers, and the supercilious air of men onCouncil towards the women. To rouse her, just suggest thatwomen on Council should be abolished. We all acclaim her asthe one who has out-argued the President and made him blush.She is the only one on Council to sport a <strong>ca</strong>r, and “Josie” has helpedout many a hurried councillor, even though she is generally out ofgas. Cec’s main grief is the number of trips given to Council men,and she threatens to send in an expense account for her numeroustrips to the Science Building. We wonder if she is afraid of incidentals?Our President has had a great deal of experience in Universityactivities and, although new to Council this year, he brings a wealthof good judgment in all affairs. We overlook his ideas on the importance of women in executive positions since they are woefullymistaken. A <strong>ca</strong>pable speaker and debater, he has proven himselfskilful in the handling of various types of meetings. His workduring the Students’ Campaign proved of the greatest value to the<strong>ca</strong>use of the University. A vivid sign of our President’s popularityis evidenced by the appearance in a January issue of the Ubysseyof a write-up where even certain articles of the wardrobe of ourdebonair Chairman have been minutely described.<strong>The</strong> President of the Men’s Undergrad is the official “keeperof the dates” and knows more about “what’s when” than any othermember of the Alma Mater Society. Jack has had previous experience on Council as last year’s Treasurer, and brings in to play hisgood judgment on all matters, especially as regards discipline. Healso holds the record for moving the motions for adjournment—having moved, if recorded properly, every Council adjournment thisyear!“Not unless it has been requisitioned, vouchered, andbudgeted!” Thus spake our Treasurer, and we knew that the fate[791(Co,ti,uedo,,PageEigIt sL)

With a reduction in grantof 43 per cent. of that of last year, and 57 per cent of the grant ofthe year before, the University has had to expect drastic curtailmentsin all branches of its work. <strong>The</strong>re has been the danger of loweringthe scholastic standing to a point where the position of the University, as a University, has been threatened. Prom the point ofview of the student body the situation has been very serious. Witha view to investigating the student position a committee was appointed by the Students’ Council to look into the situation andto take charge of any work which should be done by the students.It was decided to begin the <strong>ca</strong>mpaign along general edu<strong>ca</strong>tionallines, stressing the value of the University to the Province andpointing out the loss to the Province should the University lose itspresent high standing. Along this line the <strong>ca</strong>mpaign was quitesuccessful.

•jç kUN1VtN’Y1UTjM1Book ExchangerlrHE year 1931-32 witnessed the birth of another new activityJL when the Book Exchange made its appearance at the commencement of the fall term. It was organized last spring under the direction of Alan Campbell, who had studied the system in operation inMcGill, and follows closely the model of that university. Its purpose is to expedite and regulate the exchange of second-hand booksand eliminate the haphazard methods formerly prevalent.It requires a certain period of time for any organization tofunction perfectly and many difficulties which it was impossibleto anticipate arose and demanded solution. In spite of this, approximately 4,000 books changed hands and for nearly three weeksthe management was pushed from “pillar to post” to accommodateboth the supply and demand. Judging by the experience of thisyear, the Exchange will, with a few adjustments and possibly betteraccommodation, function efficiently as an integral part of studentactivity.<strong>The</strong> management for the past year included Ken Beckett, Arts‘32, Manager; Jack Kirkpatrick, Comm. ‘33, Assistant Manager;Scott McLaren, Comm. ‘34, Assistant. St. John Madeley, Comm.‘33, assisted at the opening until his managerial duties in the “Pub”office claimed his undivided attention.Student Publicity Committee(c,,tg,,ucd iron, Page Esghrq-threeto <strong>ca</strong>rry the <strong>ca</strong>mpaign to Victoria it was decided to launch a petitionwhich would be used to add emphasis to the student appeal. <strong>The</strong>result of this petition will remain for a long time as a monumentto student enthusiasm. <strong>The</strong> entire student body started out in theface of a snow storm to <strong>ca</strong>nvass the city and in a day and a halfsucceeded in obtaining sixty-five thousand signatures.At the moment it is difficult to say whether we have achievedsuccess or suffered failure.

jUNIVtRStTYISHiLUMBI4nd<strong>The</strong> Publi<strong>ca</strong>tions BoardrT9HE ‘Pub,” as an ex-editor has so happily phrased it, is the.JL happy-loafing ground of its thirty or more devotees. It isalso the lo<strong>ca</strong>le of earnest endeavors to inform, amuse and uplift thestudents and faculty through its various publi<strong>ca</strong>tions, notably theUbyssey. Whether the dozen or so persistent “Pub” inhabitantsare the dregs of an otherwise respectable student body (as somehave said) or whether their collective minds form the intellectualaristocracy of this University (as others have said) is a question onwhich this writer does not intend to commit himself. Opinionsdiffer and even the time hallowed maxim of knowing them by theirfruits does not seem to apply.A constant struggle against adversity has been the keynote ofwork on the Publi<strong>ca</strong>tions Board this year. <strong>The</strong> session openedmauspiciously with a veritable epidemic of resignations includingHimie Koshevoy, editor; and Doris Barton, senior editor. In factat the conclusion of the year there were only three people on thewhole staff who held the same positions as they did at the beginningof the fall term, all the others having either resigned or been promoted to fill va<strong>ca</strong>ncies <strong>ca</strong>used by resignations. <strong>The</strong> loss of HimieKoshevoy was a blow which struck at the very heart of the “Pub.”Through years of close association Himie had become a prominentfactor in the unifying force which held the organization together.Doubtless his departure had much to do with the overwhelmingwave of resignations mentioned above.Except for the <strong>ca</strong>mpaign against the proposed cut in the University grant, the year has been fairly uneventful. Perhaps this wasa reaction against the eruptions which last year disturbed thea<strong>ca</strong>demic <strong>ca</strong>lm and peace of mind of the student body. So quiethas been the session that Ubyssey editors have sometimes founddifficulty in getting news. Partly as a result of this condition, butchiefly in the interests of economy, the size of the paper was reducedin the second term, after being enlarged at the beginning of the session. It still remains larger than in any previous year.An important incident in the course of the term was the visitof W. F. Payton, editor of the Toronto “Varsity,” who <strong>ca</strong>me inthe interests of the newly formed Canadian Intercollegiate PressUnion. <strong>The</strong> Ubyssey has joined the association and will be servednext year by wire connections across Canada.When he was appointed Editor-in-Chief, Wilfred Lee was untried comparatively unknown, but he has succeeded in holdingone of the most difficult and responsible student positions withcredit to himself and advantage to the Publi<strong>ca</strong>tions Board. Blessedwith a genial disposition and the gift of informal diplomacy, he haskept in harmony with the staff and the staff in harmony with itself.I 7 ]Co,,i,,,ucd Oil Prig. Fiqi, iq Hoc

Hiseditorial policy has been consistent, diplomatic, and what theoptimists would <strong>ca</strong>ll “constructive.” Fraternities and the C.O.T,C.were given up as incurable diseases and left alone. <strong>The</strong> series ofeditorials which protested against the threatened reduction in thegovernment grant to the University has been highly praised as anexcellently argued and well presented <strong>ca</strong>se in favor of the University.Main Dingwall and Frances Lu<strong>ca</strong>s, as senior editors, have eachbeen in charge of one issue of the paper a week. Main <strong>ca</strong>refullysuppresses high literary ideals in a cheerful compromise with collegejournalism. Her avowed aim in writing editorials has been “to makepeople think.” Although now giving up the quest as hopeless shehas not become a cyni<strong>ca</strong>l iconoclast of student foibles and ideals.Frances Lu<strong>ca</strong>s is the “Pub” enigma. She is <strong>ca</strong>pable of highpoetic fervor when under the influence of the Muse but has alsobeen known to descend to the depths of “Muck” writing. A secretlove of yellow journalism has been her besetting sin and frequentlymanifests itself in hectic headlines. She never takes life very seriously, believing that an infectious laugh and breezy humor getresults as quickly as any other method and much more pleasantly.News Manager Madeley browbeats his reporters in the traditional manner of the hard-boiled city editor. Believing that politeness is wasted on the cubs, St. John is the terror of their younglives. Knowing everyone on the <strong>ca</strong>mpus and being versed in mostof the inner secrets of faculty and students, he has been a mostvaluable man in having whatever news there was run to earth.<strong>The</strong> position of Sport Editor, as Gordon Root will tell you,is no sinecure. First the other editors play havoc with his “copy”and then the <strong>ca</strong>mpus athletes play havoc with him. Gordon, however, has survived the year without becoming prematurely aged andhas edited the sport page in a satisfactory manner. He was assistedby Everett King, who began the year as sport editor but was forcedto give up the position in order to do justice to his curricular work.Day Washington, who was promoted from “the ranks” to occupythe position of Associate Sport Editor, has proved to be a “verypresent help in time of trouble.’’ Day’s official duties consist ofsuperintending the sport page in the Thursday issue, but the notinfrequent absence of other members of the sport staff has given theAssociate Editor plenty of chance to demonstrate his reliability andhis unusual talent for page make-up.

This proved to be a very successful venture, which, itis hoped, will become an annual feature in the Agricultural Faculty.<strong>The</strong> annual trip to Agassiz was held on Saturday, March 12,the trip being made by automobile. <strong>The</strong> stock-judging competition was held on the Experimental Farm. <strong>The</strong> year’s activities werebrought to a close by the ever successful and popular AgriculturalClub Banquet held March 24, where the trophies won during theyear were presented.COClassics ClubTHE Classics Club has enjoyed a very Interesting and profitableyear during 193 1-32. It is indebted to its Vice-President, MissNorma Douglas, for a very interesting innovation—the singing inLatin of such well-known songs as “Drink to Me Only With ThineEyes,” “Jingle Bells,” and “My Bonny Lies Over the Ocean.” Thisfeature has proved very popular, and it is hoped it will be continuedas a regular part of the Club’s activities.Many excellent papers have been given during the year, andthe subjects were as varied as they were interesting. <strong>The</strong> first threepapers ‘‘Greek Architecture,’ ‘‘Ancient Coins,’’ and ‘‘Greek Pottery’’ were very fittingly illustrated with lantern slides. <strong>The</strong>sewere followed by “Famous Wives,” “Ancient Ships,” and “Methodsof Naval Warfare.” Four papers are yet to be given on “Romansand Jews,’’ ‘‘Christian Persecutions,’’ ‘‘Crete,’’ and ‘‘A Dialoguefrom Lucian.”<strong>The</strong> Club has been very ably guided by its President, Mr.David. Ellis, while assisting him on the executive were Dr. Todd,Miss Auld, Norma Douglas, Charles Armstrong, Nora Mains andMax Humphrey.[ 96 1

As in the past, the meetings wereheld at the homes of the honorary members, to whom the studentmembers are very much indebted for their hospitality.<strong>The</strong> policy of the Club during the year was that most of thepapers should be presented by student members. Accordingly,about twelve of the papers were presented by students.<strong>The</strong> Dawson Club is affiliated with the Canadian Institute ofMining and Metallurgy as its student branch at the University ofBritish Columbia, and members <strong>ca</strong>n become student members of theInstitute if they wish.During the year the Club was unfortunate in the death of twoof its members.

It was founded in 1916, less than a year after the Universityitself opened. Since then the Society has continued to flourish, thepast year, especially, being marked by a considerable increase inmembership.Its aim is not to add to the instruction of the classroom, butrather to create an interest in all branches of chemistry, <strong>The</strong> members meet twice a month, once in an open meeting, at which anyone is welcome, and once in a closed meeting for members of theSociety only. <strong>The</strong> open meetings are held in the afternoon whenprofessors from the Department of Chemistry and prominent outside chemists speak. <strong>The</strong> closed meetings, at the home of somemember, are held in the evening. For these the members themselves prepare papers on some phase of chemistry which they read andwhich are discussed. This year the executive finds it possible todonate a prize for the best paper given by a fourth year student andone for the best paper by a third year student.Membership is limited to those students in their third or fourthyear taking Chemistry III or some higher course. <strong>The</strong> fee is onedollar per year.<strong>The</strong> executive for the past year consisted of: Honorary President, Dr. Archibald; President, Alan H. Cameron; Vice-President,Phyllis White; Secretary, Tom McKeown; and Treasurer, NormanPhillips.Law ClubnrHE Law Club was formed with a very practi<strong>ca</strong>l end in view,JL namely that of providing a means whereby students may obtainsome acquaintance with the study and practice of law. In the arrangement of its program the club has endeavored to further thisaim, while at the same time attempting to present the subject in amanner not too uninteresting to the uninitiated student. Speakersare invited to address the club on alternate meeting nights, usuallyon the subject of law and the legal profession generally. <strong>The</strong> remainder of the program consists of mock trials, with each memberparticipating in some <strong>ca</strong>pacity. Needless to say, these latter oc<strong>ca</strong>sions provide considerable amusement in addition to their instructivevalue in matters of court procedure, debate, and cross-examination.Meetings are open to all students interested in the activitiesof the club.[100

Parliamentary Forum‘sj ARSITY makes another venture into the realm of public speakV ing. Debating on the <strong>ca</strong>mpus has been entirely reorganizedso that at last this important phase of University activity seems tobe on a sound working basis. Very soon after the Fall term openedorganization meetings were held for the purpose of drawing up theconstitution and formulating rules of order. <strong>The</strong> new Forum ismodelled along parliamentary lines. With its Speaker of theHouse, Government and Opposition it aims to provide experiencein speaking and self-expression for a large number of students.Adopting the parliamentary form of debate enables as many astwenty students to speak at one meeting and does away with anyextensive preparation on the part of four chosen victims. <strong>The</strong>fortnightly meetings are open to all students of the University, giveeveryone an equal chance, and seem a sure method of training speakersof sufficient ability to bring home the coveted McGoun cup.Alberta Debate Wi ha mette DebateEleanore \\lalkee Nathan Nemetz Neil ikrry Victor DryerMembers of the Parliamentary Forum are very fortunate inhaving Professor J.

<strong>The</strong> Players’ Clubr-’HE year 1931-32 opened for the Players’ Club on a note of.1Ldeep regret as it be<strong>ca</strong>me generally known that Professor F. G. C.Wood had definitely decided to retire from active participation inthe Club’s work after fifteen years of invaluable services as Honorary President and Director. <strong>The</strong> Club was fortunate in obtaining Dr. F. C. Walker’s acceptance of that position. <strong>The</strong> AdvisoryBoard, consisting of Mrs. James Lawrence, Miss Dorothy Jefferd,Mrs. Gordon Shrum, Dr. F. C. Walker and Dr. W. A. Carrothers,selected four entertaining plays of different types for the Christmasproduction. <strong>The</strong> evening opened with “Part Time Job,” a comedy,illustrating the difficulties of a “working wife.’’ <strong>The</strong> <strong>ca</strong>st consistedof Nancy Carter, Arts ‘34; Jane Stevenson, Arts ‘32; Olive Norgrove,Arts ‘34; Marjorie Patterson, Arts ‘32; and Doug. Brown,Arts ‘33. Miss Jefferd and Mrs. Shrum directed the play.“Hunt <strong>The</strong> Tiger,” a fantastic piece in which an eccentricParisian nobleman persuades would-be suicides to amuse him byshooting at each other in his darkened parlor, was directed by Dr.Walker, John Emerson, Arts ‘34, and Betty Jack, Arts ‘33, actedwell as the eccentric nobleman and the beautiful but jilted Mme. deV., while Hugh Palmer, Arts ‘35, took the role of the mournfulpoet.“Vindi<strong>ca</strong>tion,” a play on a tragic theme, was directed bySydney Risk. <strong>The</strong> feature of the play was the fine performance ofNaoma Benyas, as the ill-used daughter. Margaret Powlett, Arts‘34; Alistair Taylor, Aggie ‘32; Frances Tremayne, Arts ‘32; andRann Matthison, Arts ‘35, completed the <strong>ca</strong>st.“<strong>The</strong> Tender Passion,” a piece in a lighter vein, portrayednight scenes on the London Embankment. <strong>The</strong> scenic effects werewell <strong>ca</strong>rried out and afforded a good background for the philosophicdrolleries of Frank Miller, playing the half-tipsy tramp. Othersin the <strong>ca</strong>st were Eleanor Walker, Arts ‘33: Dave Martin, <strong>The</strong>ology;Fred Hobson, Arts ‘35; and Bob McKeown, Arts ‘35. <strong>The</strong> playwas directed by Mrs. Lawrence and Dr. Carrothers.Sir J. M. Barrie’s play ‘‘Alice-Sit-By-the-Fire,’’ a success offormer years, was chosen for this year’s Spring production. Careful attention was paid to the costumes, which took us back to thedays of the motoring veil and the narrow trousers for men. SydneyRisk was selected by the Executive, in collaboration with the Advisory Board, to direct the play. This has been his first major engagement as a producer. Here’s wishing him success! MarjorieEllis, the star of last year’s performance, again secured the leadinglady’s role as Alice Grey.

jUNiVtRSTYJiSHibiUMBIAi<strong>The</strong> Musi<strong>ca</strong>l Society“Such sweet compulsion doth in music iie”—Miltonj ITH the second successful production of a Gilbert and Sullivan‘Y’Y light opera, the Musi<strong>ca</strong>l Society has established a tradition ofwhich it may well be proud. <strong>The</strong> opera “H.M.S. Pinafore” whichculminated this year’s activities met with very favorable commentfrom all sides. Its success reflects the able and painstaking directionof Mr. Haydn Williams and the faithful work of members in alldepartments of the society.Though the vo<strong>ca</strong>l and instrumental ability of the membership was, with few exceptions, of quite average quality, an ensemblewith almost professional technique was built up during the year.<strong>The</strong> <strong>ca</strong>st and orchestra were made to feel from the start that successdepended upon mutual accord and co-operation rather than uponthe performance of a few outstanding artists. That this ideal ofteam work was realized was apparent at the final production inwhich the choruses and ensembles reached a perfection seldom foundin an amateur group.Among the principals were several members who had provedtheir worth in “<strong>The</strong> Pirates of Penzance’’ last year: Sophie Witteras “Buttercup”: Alice Rowe as “Josephine”; Nelson Allen as“Deadeye”; and Robert Brooks as “Sir Joseph Porter.” New andexcellent material was uncovered in the persons of Neil Perry as“Ralph”; Robert Harcourt as “Captain Corcoron”; and CharlesArmstrong as “Boatswain.” <strong>The</strong> remaining principal roles, thoughof less prominence, were very adequately filled by Kalfe Coles as“Hebe”; Gordon Stead as “Carpenter”; and Gordon Wilson as“Sergeant of Marines,” <strong>The</strong> youngest midshipman was DouglasTodd, A very valuable contribution was made by Mr. EdgarSmith who directed the dramatic work of the production.In addition to this major activity, the Society has made severalnoteworthy contributions to the musi<strong>ca</strong>l life of the <strong>ca</strong>mpus. Following the precedent set in former years, five noon-hour recitalswere given periodi<strong>ca</strong>lly throughout the session to which the studentbody and public were invited. A special attempt was made to present programmes of high musi<strong>ca</strong>l order, and judging from the largeand appreciative audiences, this met with general approval. Amongthe outstanding items of these recitals were: a Rachmaninoff Suitefor two pianos played by Isobel Campbell and Vera Ings; and aString Quintette composed of Ira Swartz, Grace Dresser, MarieBryant, Wm. Jones and Maurice Miles. Other artists who contributed were: Louie Stirk, contralto; Norma Gallia, pianist; ReesMacconachie; violinist. <strong>The</strong> programme of the last recital was( Con?: n :,edo,Pogc On:Hu,,:Irc:f and‘roe ire,,?[1171

<strong>The</strong> Awards CommitteeTHE appearance of the Awards Committee in these pages is aninnovation for <strong>Totem</strong> readers. Very little is known by themajor portion of the student body about the Awards Committeeor the work which it has to perform. As a branch of Men’sAthletics, the Committee has the duty of granting awards to deserving men. <strong>The</strong>se awards include Honorary Awards, Big Blocks,Small Blocks and Plain Letters.Decisions are based on standards set by the Men’s AthleticAssociation, but rest finally upon the judgment of the Committee.An attempt is made to adhere as nearly as possible to the samestandards from year to year. Perhaps most students do not realizethat time played is not the sole criterion upon which an award isbased. <strong>The</strong> Committee also considers <strong>ca</strong>refully the type of sportsmanship displayed, and the enthusiasm of the players for the sport.<strong>The</strong> Committee for the year 1931-32 is composed of GavinDirom, Chairman; Dr. Davidson, Faculty Representative; Dr.Letson, Alumni Representative; Ralph Thomas, Track; BobOsborne, Basketball; Dick Nixon, English Rugby; and ErniePeden, Canadian Rugby.1124 1

NIVtRTVDIUTiSW4LUMBIA4<strong>The</strong> “Big Four” Canadian Rugby TeamALTHOUGH Canadian Rugby at U.B.C. was atadisadvantage£.. at the commencement of this season as compared to last, it <strong>ca</strong>nbe truly said that the 193 1-32 season finished inablaze of glory.Unfortunately it was not possible, owing to financial difficulties, to hold last September the pre-season training <strong>ca</strong>mp whichwas the distinctive feature inaugurated in the Canadian RugbyClub’s activitieswhen Varsity opened, to field, almost immediately,ayear ago. This meant that Dr. Burke was forced,ateam in theBig Four that was not adequately trained as compared to the otherteams in the league. This, it is felt, was responsible for U.B.C.’sshowing in the Big FourHowever, in face of this handi<strong>ca</strong>p, Dr. Burke, with the assistance of Joe Price, didavery praiseworthy job. Varsity, when defeated, lost by close scores and formed strong opposition. Victorieswere registered over Victoria, New Westminster and Meralomas.<strong>The</strong> Big Four games served in place of the training <strong>ca</strong>mp with theresult that the Varsity team was gradually conditioned, experienced,and improved. <strong>The</strong> acquisition of Doug. McIntyre who returned tocollege helped greatly to strengthen the team. Gay. Dirom’s weightand strength in line crashing meant yards to Varsity, while ArtMurdock’s kicking was brilliant. In Dick Farrington, Varsity hasone of the best ends in the province. He, along with Captain ErniePeden, made the Western All Star Grid Squad.<strong>The</strong> Intercollegiate game with the University of Manitoba atAthletic Park, November 14, was the big event of the season.<strong>The</strong> U.B.C. players prepared themselves well through intensive,conscientious training for this event. <strong>The</strong> game was marked by thedetermined manner in which every player fought. This game remains vividly in the minds of all. U.B.C. defeated the Universityof Manitoba 4 to 3, and once again the Hardy Cup, emblematic ofthe Western Intercollegiate Championship, was brought to the University,afitting climax to conclude the season.<strong>The</strong> success of this game financially was due to the CanadianRugby Club Executive, Johnny McLean, as president of the Club,being in charge. In this, as in the year’s Canadian Rugby activities,he has been in large part responsible for the success attained. RoyMcDonald, Vice-President and Business Manager, handled theticket sales, while Archie Dick acted as Publicity Manager. Al.Pike was Strip Manager throughout the season.Among those who will leave us this year through graduationare Captain Ernie Peden and Larry Jack, middles; Jim Stewartand Jimmie Mitchell, insides; and Gay. Dirom, half. <strong>The</strong> absenceof these men will be greatly felt when the team takes the field nextseason.F 133]

As such,they played V. A.

Last week the boys surprised even their most ardentsupporters by taking the strong V. A.

This was done, the first ratingbacks playing for “U.B.C.” and the forwards for “Varsity.” Eachteam played good football but the division of strength told as the“Varsity” team won only two games and tied one, while “U.B.C.”won one and tied one. It gave more players exceptionally goodexperience in the senior .division, however, and helped to build upan exceptionally strong McKechnie Cup team. <strong>The</strong> strength ofthe present Miller Cup team was easily shown when they playedthe “Oc<strong>ca</strong>sionals,” the Varsity Graduate team, and beat them decisively last Thanksgiving in an exhibition match, and in a leaguematch two days after Christmas trounced the Ex-King George team,then the league leaders, 17-3.From this union of two teams the McKechnie Cup squad wasformed. Up to date Varsity has played only two McKechnie Cupgames and prospects have never seemed brighter for regaining thecup.On November 12, Varsity played its old rivals, the Vancouver Rep. Keen interest was aroused for this game and a recordnumber of students attended it. To arouse even greater supporta pep-meeting and a miniature “Rugbyssey” heralded the game.<strong>The</strong> play was keenly contested throughout but Varsity went downto a glorious defeat in the second half.On January 9 the team travelled to Victoria to meet theVictoria Rep., and by their brilliant showing convinced all whosupport the game that Varsity has a team of which it may justlybe proud.<strong>The</strong> game, played before a huge crowd, and put on the air forits Vancouver supporters, was one of the most thrilling witnessedin years. At half time the score was 6-6. Early in the second half,Victoria scored and converted, making it 11-6. It was here thatthe team’s fighting spirit <strong>ca</strong>me to the fore. With Howie Clevelandoff the field with minor concussion suffered in the game, and playingone man short, Varsity drove time and again at Victoria’s line andfinally, in the last few minutes of the game, scored twice. It washere that Phil Barratt, playing his last McK.echnie Cup match, madehistory, for it was this red-haired flash that made both the winningtries—Score 12-11 for Varsity!With such a team, the prospects for winning the McKechnieCup trophy, emblematic of rugby supremacy in B. C., look bright,to say the least.(C rn, r r ,,ucrl on /‘nrrc 0,,r !lcr,,cirerl n,,d Tirirt u dgI,t[1371

At the start ofJL the year Varsity entered four teams in the different leagues, twofirst division, one second and one third.During the first half of the league it was soon seen that changeshad to be made in the second division, for in every match they wereoutweighed to a man. To their credit let it be said that they neverlost heart and in spite of the results their play did improve.With the ending of the first round of the Miller Cup series inthe senior division, it was decided that one of the Varsity seniorteams should be dropped. Consequently the original second teamwas moved down to third division and the old senior team tookits place.Prospects now looked better for the second half, This teamhad more weight and speed but were woefully lacking in team play.This fact was borne out on January 19th when they played theleague-leading North Shore All-Blacks, the score being 11-0.

However, according to latest reports the league is going to resumeactivities in the very near future, so the swimmers intend to getinto some effective competition before the end of the term.In spite of this set-back, the Club has held two successful interclassgalas for the Allen and Boultbee Trophy, one each in the falland spring terms, both meets being won by Arts ‘34.At the beginning of the second term Norman Cox took over thecoaching duties relinquished by Don Tyerman and already a greatimprovement is noticeable in many of the swimmers.<strong>The</strong> Club has two possible Olympic prospects in Ernie Pedenand Harry Andison, who should give a good account of themselvesat the Olympic trials here this summer.<strong>The</strong> outstanding performers for the Club this year have been:Harry Andison, Ernie Peden, George Copeland, Jimmie Wilson1161](Co,,tinued or, Page One Hundred and Sixiy.t1,rce)

This is probably dueto the fact that boxing as a sport has had to make way for the morebrutal, if more spectacular sport of wrestling. Last year the clubheld its work-outs in one of the down-town gymnasiums, the difficulty in obtaining an instructor presumably making this necessary.After the Christmas holidays the Club was fortunate in securing the services of a competent instructor, who, as well as havingdone considerable professional boxing, is a university graduate.Several of the most promising ring artists this season are Firstand Second Year men who, in spite of the present general depressionin the pugilistic sport, will doubtless prove themselves qualified toput boxing among the trophy-winning sports of the University.<strong>The</strong> Men’s Grass Hockey Club(Continued from Page One Hundred and F ftcI-o,tr)W.

Largely due to his enthusiasm the practiceshave been more effective than ever before, and the quality of playhas improved.Thanks to the energy of Sid Semple the club has now a permanent playing field, fitted with regulation goals and nets, to thesouth of the soccer field, This has resulted in better attendanceat the weekly Wednesday practices, and also in more opportunityfor effective coaching and practice games. Sid Semple also effecteda raise in the status of Grass Hockey from that of a sub-minorsport to that of a minor.Graduation should not affect the line-up to any great extentthis year and all in all the prospects for a successful season in <strong>1932</strong>-’33 are bright.

“WORDS FAIL!”<strong>The</strong> currency of words is little worthIn the ever-changing market of the mind.How <strong>ca</strong>n we word the feelings which now bind,Now loose our starry souls from this dull earth?How with a sonnet could our wondrous WillUnlock a heart he s<strong>ca</strong>rcely understood?How shall a poet write, in transient mood,Those glories whose expression passes skill?How in poor letters <strong>ca</strong>n one prison LightOf glorious yesterdays, tomorrow dead?<strong>The</strong> greatest moments of our life they passWithout true words to keep their memory bright:And lo, the gray will soon replace the redAnd friendships fade unsung, like last year’s grass.SONNETOn Listening to a Tchaikowsky Symphony<strong>The</strong> soft sibilant whispers of sweet stringsRise from a pearly mist of shimmering toneAnd change into the pulsing tragic moanOf wind in. forest <strong>ca</strong>verns. <strong>The</strong>n it ringsInto a hymn of joy, and fiercely singsOf fearless majesty in massive chordsWhich thunder <strong>ca</strong>nnonades, flash flaming swords,Gladden the sad, and hearten cringing things.My heart dulled by the pain of sightless timeIs lifted by the potency of soundTo heav’n, Where aching sadnesses are drownedIn moving depths of music vast, sublime:And my whole world is filled with awful lightCharging my puny weakened soul with might.—GuIDo[1321
