be used to house several types of activities .Room should be ' allotted for accommodat-ing spectators, but this space should no tbe excessive so that it would be usefu lperhaps only two or three times a year . Itmight be arranged that seats could be re-movable, leaving unobstructed areas forother purposes when no spectators werepresent .

In post - war years, inter - collegiat eswimming meets could be held . Intra-mural and extramural competitions wouldprovide U.B.C. with further outlets for herathletic talent. Prior to the war, Varsitysent representatives to a university mee tat Banff, but with no startling successes ,since students did not have good opportun-ity to practise during the fall term' beforethe contests . Here is one instance when apool on the campus would be invaluable .

If the men are in favor of such ascheme, they should begin work on theplans as soon as possible. A committee tointerview architects and to obtain sugges-tions from American and Canadian col-leges having such natatoriums should beformed. While it may be impossible to be -gin the actual construction immediately ,due to shortages of material, the ground-work of such a committee could be donewell in advance .

It is to be hoped that such a buildingcould be used by the women students a swell as the men. Perhaps the womencould devote some of their receipts fro mthe various drives they sponsor during th eyear to swell ' the fund. If this plan i sagreeable to all students, a woman repre-senting W.U.S. must be included in th ecommittee .

Now, with the rigorous training sche-dule for the youth of the country, physica lfitness has become more closely allied thanever with basic military training. Here isthe opportunity for the men to provide arecreational centre which will be in direc tconnection with their army, navy, and ai rforce training.

Student co-operation has succeeded ingiving the University of British Columbiaan Armoury, the equal of which is not t obe found on any campus in Canada . Whycould we not attain another tangible tri-bute to the initiative and interest of the me nin military training on this campus ?

Swimming Pool For UBC ?At a meeting of all male students i n

the auditorium last week, Col. G. M. Shrumput forth a suggestion which met with thewhole-hearted approval of almost ever yman present. He proposed, in the even tthat those men taking military trainin gwaive their pay as they have done eversince the re-organization of the U .B .C.contingent of the C.O.T.C. in 1928, thatthe money be used for the construction o fa completely modern swimming pool on th euniversity campus .

Col. Shrum explained that the buildin gprogram for the army on the campus ha sbeen completed with the addition to th eArmouries, and that there was no presen tneed for more buildings or equipment forpurely military purposes . In addition, hestated to the UBYSSEY that he felt th emen would prefer to waive their pay toprovide for some definite, much needed ob-jective, rather than turn over the moneyto a fund for some indeterminate purpose .

The construction of a swimming poo lis an admirable objective . The finishedbuilding would be of value both in a peace-time or wartime session .

Since the money would be subscribe dby members of the three services on th ecampus, in accordance with an agreemen tbetween the services regarding the waiv-ing of pay, it is fitting that they shoul dderive the maximum of benefit from suc ha scheme. A swimming pool provides awelcome means of keeping students inphysical trim, and in a maner which wouldbe directly voluntary on the part of eac hstudent. The gymnasium and the stadiumare, unfortunately, used only by a smal lminority of the students, except for th eweekly compulsory physical training per-iod of each man. It does not seem illogicalto assume that a swimming pool wouldappeal to and benefit a larger number o fpeople than any other type of athleticequipment which could be purchased atthis time.

It has been proposed that, through th eco-operation of the men in waiving thei rpay in the next two years, a sum approach-ing sixty thousand dollars could be accum-ulated . With this amount of money, asufficiently large, well-planned pool coul dbe easily constructed. If care is taken i ndrawing up the plans, the building might

• This is the Story of Duffy, the Dog whoDrank .Duffy wasn't really a dog yet when I

made his acquaintance . He was just awobbly, five-weeks-old bundle of curlyblack fur with four long legs sticking ou tat various odd angles .

His parentage was a rather curiou smixture ; his father was a collie, and Duffypromised to be like him in his size an dbuild . But his mother was a little blackcocker spaniel, and Duffy had inherited herkinky coat .

That was where Duffy got his name ,too, for "Duffy" in the Gaelic means "th edark-haired person ."

Duffy's master, whom we shall call Bil lfor the reason that it was not his name ,owned a farm . The puppy had just beenadded to Bill's menagerie, which alread yincluded several horses, cows, sheep, pigs ,chickens, a cat, two kittens, and one (1 )guinea pig .

Duffy soon developed a definite person-ality of his own. His first experience wit hthe two kittens was a sad one, and hecame away with a healthy respect for kit -tens. But he seemed to breed a cuttingcontempt for humans as time went on .

His earliest delight was to fool peopleinto thinking he had at last been house -broken, and then enlightening them . Whenhe was put outdoors in deep disgrace onsuch occasions, he would look at Bill wit han expression which plainly said, "Youpoor sucker, why do you want to keep th efloor clean, anyhow? "

Then one day Bill left a half-emptybeer bottle on the floor in the bunkhouse .

Duffy found it . It was the changing pointin his young life .

When we discovered him, half an hou rlater, he was sitting rather unsteadily onthe floor, with an expression of glazedbeatitude on his face and a visible pinkglow extending for a good two inchesaround his head . He was very glad to seeus, and he loved us all intensely for at leastfifteen minutes .

This mood didn't last long, however .Even as we watched, a bewildered expres-sion passed over his happy little face .Suddenly he started to stagger in the gen-eral direction of the door—but he didn' tquite make it, of course . Not Duffy ,

He lay there panting for a while in deepremorse, a very unhappy puppy . Then thereaction set in .

I suppose dogs do have hangovers ;Duffy certainly acted as though he ha done. He growled if anyone moved, and i fhe moved himself, you could almost se ehim holding his head . Finally he slum-bered, and we left him there to sleep it off .

No ill effects were noticeable the nex tday. He seemed rather quiet, for Duffy ,but none the worse for his experience .One good result was evident, however ,he had lost his scornful attitude toward sus .

He stuck close to Bill, hardly lettinghim out of his sight, and was tolerant ,even friendly, to the rest of us .

I guess he just realized that humansaren't the only creatures on this earthwith their faults .

Varsity, Jericho In Practice Gam eLeagueStartsSat'day

• :Off The CuffBy CHUCK CLARIDGE

• WELL, along comes the first of October, the mornings aregetting a bit chilly and the night is descending fast upon

the tired sleepy town . Much earlier in the evening than afew short days ago. How descriptive! Doesn 't it stir some-thing within your appreciative soul? Can't you tell just b yreading this 'that the World Series is about to start ?

Of course. And who out here hasn't missed the od dlecture or lab just to sit around the radio in the Brock o rother remote spots on the Campus to listen to the Fall classic .CARDS AND YANKS AGAIN

This season again it features the New York Yankee sand the St. Louis Cardinals, champions of their respectiveleagues, American and National . Not that you didn't knowthat, of course, but there might be the odd freshman stil lwandering around who hasn't followed the papers durin gthe summer .

Now, as most of you already know, St . Louis won thi saffair last season to upset the fabulous Yanks . What willhappen this year remains to be seen as the saying goes . Bothoutfits have lost heavily to the Armed Forces since last yea rand the line-ups will be changed considerably .

The Cards probably have the edge in the pitching andcatching side of the battle but the New Yorkers undoubtedl ytake the nod as far as the hitting goes . They still have amurderers row, but reduced considerably in potentiality fro mthe days of DiMaggio and Dickey .YANKS FOUR-TO.ONE

So I will stick my neck out and pick the Yanks to takethe classic in five games. They will drop the fourth counterto St. Louis by a 3-1 score when the Birdlings will pick u pa pair of counters in the first half of the eighth to break thedeadlock .

Not only that, but New York will score first in the thir don three consecutive singles, and St . Loo will come backto tie the affair up in their half of the same frame . This isall in the fourth game, mind you. Not a word about theothers .

STUFF FROM THE CUFF : Varsity seems to have th epick of the hoop teams so far this year . While in the predict-ing and psychic mood, I nominate the 'Birds to cop the four-team league and then go on to the B .C. Championship, takingthe Pat Bay Fliers, who will undoubtedly *in the IslandCrown again. Lacrosse? Who mentioned that? That's asore spot with me. Salmonbellies should take the Pat Ba yFliers (get around don't they?) in four games. They will beat home for the whole series . Soccer should come in for abit of prediction too . If the boys field two teams, I pick th efirst squad to move up to second spot next April and the Bteam to hold down fifth place. The English Rugby is stil ltoo indefinite for my brain to figure anything out . BesidesI don't know a thing about the blasted game. Give me Can-adian Football every time . Give me two . Waiter, two moreplease .

Soccer Team

To Play Pro-

Recs Sat.• SOCCER gets off to a

flying start tomorrowafternoon at Cambie Stree tgrounds, Time: 2 o'clock . Onthis most solemn occasion ,the Varsity squad will takeon Pro-Recs in a practicegame.

All players who intend to makeeither the "A' or the "B" teamshould turn out, as everyone wil lbe given a tryout in this contest .

Practices will be held ever yMonday starting at 12.30 on thefield beyond the stadium.

Right now there is an urgentneed for a good trainer to look af-ter rub-downs and first-aid equip-ment . Any freshman who has ha dexperience along these lines woul dfind this position to his advantage,and he would be considered for a naward .

Dave Stone, the associate man-agdr and also a very capable play-er, announces that the team listswill be posted sometime nextweek

. Hoop EChatte rMOYLS

e At 5 :30 on Tuesday, I am casually strolling into th egym, and what should I see but a gang of giants runningtheir feet off. They are chasing a rather large ball around,and from time to time they are picking it up and throwingit at the most peculiar looking basket I have ever seen . Iam saying it is peciliar because it has a hole in th ebottom .

Who should be yelling at these scantily-garbed mon-sters but a little guy all dressed in white . Despite his size ,he seems to be having it all over these overgrown fiends ,because every few minutes he is stopping them and tellingthem they look lousy and they better run faster and thro wthe ball around more .

Now, I am wondering what this whole thing is about ,so I am sidling up to another rather overgrown character .But this one seems to have developed more around th ewaist than in an upwards direction. I am asking him whatthe score is, and he is saying : "They call me Louie theLump." So naturally I am asking him his name, and h eis answering : "Oh! The boys are just having a littlework-out . "

Thoroughly disgusted, I am removing myself from hi srather morose presence, and I am sitting myself down ona bench beside one of those great, sweating creatures Iwas telling you about .

This fellow is much more sociable . He is giving mehis name as Ole, and immediately I ask him, he is tellingme all about what is going on. From what I am hearing,this is a game they call "basketball," and the energy -wasters score points when they get the ball into the ,basket .

As for the little guy all dressed in white, Ole is tellin gme that this is the coach, Mr . Van Vliet, and because beis the boss, he has to do a lot of screaming.

I can see that Ole is a good man so I am thanking hi mprofusely and saying he must tell me more at the next"work-out, because I must get the whole set-up on thi sextraordinary game if I am to be a Sports Scribe .

Then I am dashing over to the "pub," and, pouncin gupon the nearest typewriter, I am sweating more thanthose basketball Joes as I swish off another story.

Quick, copy boys, a coke !
