The Fall Ball will be staged in the Armory this year insteadof the Commodore as planned by USC if a decision reached byStudent Council Monday night is implemented. <> A plea of "tender feet" raised by

Taddy Knapp, council secretary, fail-ed to influence council when theyvetoed the Undergraduate SocietiesCommittee ruling.

Jerry Macdonald claimed that theArmory could be decorated and thefloor polished at a very low costand that it was the psychologicaleffect' of having a cabaret type ofdance on the campus that intimidat-ed Council members.

Taddy Knapp retorted, "My feetare not psychological." 'At thispoint Nora Clarke questioned her,"Were your feet tired after FroshOrientation?" Taddy countered witha quick, "You bet they were."SOMETHING NEW

A M $ Plans FallBall In Armory

Western hospitality overflowed Tuesday for Canada's Num-ber One student, a quiet French-Canadian from Montreal.

A chorus of exhuberant students, 2000 strong, greetedtouring Maurice Sauve, president of the National Federationof Canadian University Students, with a rousing "Hail UBC"and "Allouette" when he happened on singing "Greeks" in thecampus cafeteria.

NFCUS President AddressesStudents From Caf Table

Joker Chief ChallengesLivingstone To Combat

Jokers President Dick Ellis yesterday afternoon challengedGrant Livingstone, president of Student Council "to personalbattle on the field of valor" at a pepmeet to be held by theJokers, Friday noon in the gymnasium. In a statement to The Ubyssey,

Ellis claimed that Livingstone "isafraid to see me". The Joker's presi-dent said, "Several times I have goneto the AMS office only to be informedthat Mr. Livingstone is too busy."

The Jokers, feeling they have beendone a grave injustice in the lossof their club house, intend to cham-pion their cause to the end.

Concluding his statement Ellis chal-lenged council members to a basket-ball game to take place at Friday'sPepmeet.

Grant Livingstone could not bereached for comment at press time,

AUS To SponsorWhitman Dance

Strike or no strike the Arts Under-graduate Society will sponsor a danceto honor the visiting Whitman Col-lege gridders in The Brock on Satur-day night.

Surprise entertainment will be pre-sented by the Jokers Club under themaster of ceremonies Dick Ellis.

Frank Nightingale's Varsity Or-chestra will be on hand to providthe music for what promises to beone of the best Saturday night hopsof the year.

Dancing will be from 9 till 12 andtickets are on sale at the AMS office,the Quad and the Cafe. Admissionwill be $1 a couple.

'Writers' CrowdJabez Night Class

Popularity of Eric Nicol, instructorfor the Department of UniversityExtension's night class "Writing ForYou" is apparently not confined to hiscampus admirers.

Mr. Nicol—known today by stu-dents as 'the late Jabez",—expectedan enrolment of about 25 persons inhis course, which was to have beena discussion group. He discovered 75students waiting for him at the firstclass October 14, in the VancouverNormal School.

To ease the tension for Mr. Nicol,and make it possible for all 'would-be.creative writers to take part, the De-partment has found another instruc-tor who will share instructional andtutorial duties.

He is Professor Bert Hughe of theUBC Department of English, in whichMr. Nicol is also an instructor.

Missing BusesMystify Pubster

Another of the small mysteries thatdefy solution came to light recentlywhen a reporter for The Daily Uby-ssey interviewed pickets at the 10thAve. and Trimble garage of thestrikebound B.C. Electric.

When queried as to the reason fortheir vigil the pickets explained thatit was merely a token gesture be-cause buses normally used to trans-port UBC students were, for theduration of the strike, locked up atthe company's Little Mountain gar-age.

But further investigation by thereporter revealed that there werebuses in the Trimble building. Acompany official in attendance re-fused to comment.

So did the pickets.

Patrolmen WarnStudent Drivers

Harassed traffic patrolmen ask stu-dents to observe the following warn-ings during the street car strike.

1. Use the Chancellor Boulevardapproach as much as possible to elim-inate congestion at University Boule-vard and the main Mall.

2. Park your car a little more care-fully so as to permit as many carsas possible to use the lots.

3. Lock your motorcycle or bicycleas patrolmen will not be responsiblefor the loss of any bike that is un-locked.

4. Do not let students off too closeto the firehydrant at the corner ofBrock road and the main Mall.

Council EnforcesTravel Rulings

A faculty crack-down on studenttravelling for games, and conferenceswas revealed at Student Councilmeeting Monday night.

The Faculty Committee on StudentAffairs outlined their requirementsin a letter received by the Literaryand Scientific Executive yesterday.

They advised the LSE that all und-ergraduate organizations proposing totravel outside of Greater Vancouver,must first obtain the permission ofthe Faculty Council's president. Inaddition, they stated that all womenstudents proposing to travel mustreport in person to the Dean of Wom-en before leaving the campus.

PROCEDUREIn order to fulfill these regulations

the following procedure is to befollowed by all organizations desiringto travel.

A typewritten memorandum of thenames of those members of the organ-ization expecting to make the tripshould be submitted in triplicate tothe council at least one week beforethe scheduled time of departure. Onecopy of this list will be returned tothe organization and the remainingcopies placed on file with the chair-man of the FCSA and the secretaryof the Faculty Council.

Immediately after a poorly attend-ed meeting in the auditorium atwhich the student from the Univer-sity of Montreal had outlinesi theprogram of the NFCUS, a delegationled by Grant Livingstone, presidentof the AMS took Sauve on a tourof the Cafeteria.

CELEBRATIONThe sounds of the fraternities cele-

brating the end of rushing with ren-ditions of their songs had penetratedthe meeting and prompted PresidentN.A.M, MacKenzie to remark that"the place downstairs is by far theoddest place on the campus. I thinkthat Maurice should see it."

The sight of a lone man standingatop one of the tables brought silenceto the cafeteria where only secondsbefore 2,000 people had been singingand yelling at the tops of their voices.When Sauve began to address thegroup in his native French, the wholegroup spontaneously broke into astirring rendition of "Alouette",which the Easterner led.SAME SPEECH

After the roar of approval, Sauvewho is here on a national speakingtour, delivered the same speech whichhe had previously given upstairs.

"Chief aim of the NFCUS is toassist students to be of value totheir community" the speaker de-clared.

Fostering exchanges with Americanstudents, publishing a quarterlymagazine for Canadian students, andraising a $100,000 scholarship fundare other activities of the group,he stated,

Sauve pointed to the successfulcampaigns conducted by NFCUS tosecure reduced railfares which hesaid took seven years to complete.

At present the organization isworking to eliminate the unemploy-ment insurance deductions from stu-dents' summer pay checks.

At that time, according to Perrault,it was too late to initiate any of theplanned federation functions or ser-vices.

"However,' he said, "I am preparedto attack a meaty agenda at thisconference."

"I feel that without facilities nowunder construction and our presentclub setup, UBC can play an import-ant role in the consolidation of thisnew organization."

At the present time Saskatchewanis the president of the Federation,It will be decided at the conferencewhere the rotating presidency will gonext.

LARGEST ITEMLargest single item on the agenda

will be the establishment of a radionetwork linking the four westernuniversities,

Another aim of the conference isthe organization of an exchange ser-vice of scripts written by universitystudents for presentation on each in-dividual campus.

Coupled with this is the proposedplan for the transcription of univers-

LivingstoneBeratesCaf Clingers

The students who stayed away indroves from the NFCUS meetingTuesday were subjected to a tiradefrom AMS President Grant Living-stone."I am very disappointed that thecrowd downstairs in the caf is nothere in the auditorium," declaredLivingstone over a chorus of frater-nity songs, arising from below. Itshows a great lack of spirit. How-ever," he added, turning to MauriceSauve, NFCUS president, "you willfind that the students who take aninterest in NFCUS affairs are allhere."

German StudentsAsk Cooperation

Students of Friedrich-Schiller Uni-versity, Jena, Germany (Russian zone)are making an effort to re-establishtheir International Studenrat (Coun-cil of Students).

In a dispatch to the Daily Ubyssey,Helmuth Segeth, Studenrat officer incharge of relations with the BritishCommonwealth of Nations said hehoped that UBC students would givetheir utmost co-operation.

Segeth" states that his group wouldbe Yen( hdeEedeli rectildlod At&torial oinks* and emempondencefrom Canadian University students.He feels that this would give theman insight into the life and interestsof students in this country.

All correspondence should be dir-ected to:Helmuth, Segeth,

Jena, Ernst-Abbe-Str. 8,Russian-zone of Germany.

I am strong in my belief that thisis another step for mutual understand-ing. It is the wish of the students ofeastern Germany to establish andmaintain hearty and friendly rela-tions with your western universities.That is why I hope to be just a littlebit successful," he declared.

and events of general in-

This system would be further am-plifled by a pooling of ideas andeducational radio programs.

There is planned also an inter-university news service in additionto a WURF Bulletin, the officialorgan of the Federation.

RADIO DRAMATo Perrault, himself an accomplish-

ed radio script writer and a buddingplaywright, discussions on a RadioDrama Festival will be of particularinterest,

Embryo plans call for each of thefour western universities to submita completely student play over thenetwork next spring.

Discussion of other individual pro-grams such as a roundtable discussionfeaturing a different university eachweek will round out the alreadycrowded agenda.

According to P,errault, � the generalpurpose of the conference is:

"Through the medium of the radioto cement relations between the fourwestern universities to bring therole of the university before the pub-lic in a practical and attractivemanner."

LSE chairman, Jerry Macdonald,replied, "If USC doesnt want to do it,LSE will and will turn in a profit of$1,000 more than the amount receivedif the dance , were to be held at theCommodore."EXPENSIVE EVENING

"The chief reason for having thedance in the Armory," LSE chair-man claimed, "is so that we can ac-commodate those ex-servicemen andtheir wives who cannot afford anexpensive evening at the Commo-dore.

At a previous meeting StudentCouncil passed a motion stating thatcampus social functions should beheld as far as possible either inBrock Hall or in the Armories. TheCommodore would be contrary toCouncil polic►.'"

Meanwhile, Ralph Huene, chair-man of the Fall Ball Committeeof USC, is protesting the councilreversal of the committee plan,declaring that "it is unfair forcouncil to override the decisions ofan established committee withoutfirst having consulted that commit-tee.""Although the Armory could be

made satisfactory for such an oc-casion, there are certain aspects whichare not in keeping with the prestigeof this important University affairas it has been held in past years."he declared.MONETARY CONSIDERATION

"If council is intent only on themonetary consideration then of coursetheir decision could be reversed onlyby a mass protest by the studentbody," he added.

SocialistsFace GrantSuspension

Members of UBC's Socialistgroup may face suspension oftheir AMS budget unless they!ollow Student Council rulingthat they must change theirname from the present Social-ist Forum.

Council ruled that the group mustcall itself either the CCF Club orthe Socialist Club.

The Socialist organization told coun-cillors any change of name would"narrow the scope of speakers"brought to the campus.

Technically, the change was to havebeen made by Monday, • and a pre-vious order from the Council leavesall "political club" budgets on thetable until the order is carried out.

Councillors approved a change ofname from the Student Liberal For-um to the Student Liberal Club, analteration which follows Council's"political" policy laid down severalweeks ago.

Legislators OK UbysseyCoverage OF Council

Two reporters from the staff of the Daily Ubysseycovered student council meeting Monday night as a newscheme to improve council news coverage got underway.

Official council OK was handed down after a briefdiscussion in which members pointed out that the reporterswould be responsible to the Editor-in-Chief of the Publica-tions Board.

University of British Columbia

That university students are free, whiteand twenty-one would appear to be a pointMr. Pete Canavan overlooked when he point-ed the finger of shame at UBC last Thursdayafter finding several students employed at thestrikebound Stock Exchange building.

Mr. Canavan, as business agent for thestriking Building Service Employees' Union(AFL), lodged the complaint with Grant Liv-ingstone and with the administration, re-questing that they do something about it.

We feel that Mr. Canavan's request is anunreasonable one. If four members of theUnited Church robbed a bank, the bankofficials could scarcely level criticism at thechurch, could they Mr. Canavan?

If the student strikebreakers had been

Today, moved by the horrified cries ofour readers, we reluctantly abandon ourpokings into the tender viscera of the weeklypress, and turn to other and more sordidsubjects. This is known as jumping out of thefrying pan into the fire.

Because we propose to deal with a par-ticularly choice bit of nonsense, we confid.ently await the screams that we are discussingnonsense. Well, of course. It is all stuff,drivel and nonsense. It wouldn't be discussedhere, if it were riot:

The particular nonsense we have in mindtoday is the, arrant and somewhat fractiousnonsense of one. Mr, Colin Cameron, provin-cial president of the CCF party, who address-ed a meeting on the campus last week underthe auspices of the student Socialist Forum.

UNOBJECTIONABLEOne part of Mr. Cameron's speech, at

least, was unobjectionable. That was his al-legation that the lumber barons are strippingthe forest resources of this province forpurposes of private profit and material gain.No objection, surely, can be taken to thisstatement. Mr. Cameron could say nothingelse; for no man in his right mind wouldplunge out into the great beyond and sawdown forest giants merely for purposes ofhis health. Or for fun.

Mr. Cameron's distaste for lumber bar-ons should not, however, be taken for a deeploathing of royalty. It is nothing of the sort.You see, Mr. Cameron calls some men baronsonly that the rest of us will feel like peasants.This enables him to cash in on the ancienthatred that we peasants hold for the drunken,lecherous old man on the hill who demands,in slurred, wet accents, the right of the firstturnip, the first night and the first-born.

What really interests us, though, is Mr.Cameron's bland assurance that any manwho "accepts" a university education andthen leaves the country, is nothing morethan—these are Mr. Cameron's words—"acommon cheat."

Well, well, well.Nothing could be more indicative of Mr.

Cameron's peculiar frame of mind than thatword "accept".

FOUR MILE RUNDear us. Someone had better tell the man

that one accepts a university education asone accepts a four-mile run. In short, youdon't "accept" the damned thing at all. Youearn it. You put your head down, start run-ning, and work for it. And unless you havemore influence with the Bursar than wethink you have; you also pay good hardmoney, or contribute war service, for it.

Not so, says Mr. Cameron. The farmer,the miner, the fisherman and the logger areyour "patrons". Ipse dixit. If you desert yourpatrons you are a low burn, indeed.

For charity's sake, let us assume thatMr. Cameron is incapable of distinguishing

necessarily

supplied by the University Employment Bur-eau there may have been a case. The sixstudents who did the janitorial work severalevenings secured the jobs entirely on theirown. They were acting as individuals • . • notas students.

With this in view it is difficult to'under-stand how the university administration orthe AMS can reasonably be held responsiblefor the behaviour of students in their off-campus time.

We heartily agree with Mr. Canavanthat anyone who deliberately accepts employ-ment where a union is staging a legal (Bill39) strike is certainly acting unjustly.

We deplore the matter, but why theuniversity, Mr. Canavan?

By LES BEWLEY

a patron from a taxpayer. The taxpayer paystaxes. The Legislature grants an annual sumto the university. Not in tomatoes, Not in logs.Not in fish. In money.

If you want to be romantic about it,though, you might say that makes the tax-payer a "patron" of the arts and sciences.So he is. He is a patron, also of the citysewage and water systems, the garbage col-lection service and Oakalla Jail.

But not even Mr. Cameron would bedamfool enough to suggest (with equal logic)that any citizen who drank water, had hisashes removed, or graduated from Oakalla,should be prevented from exercising hisrights as a free citizen in leaving foreverthese sources of supply.

And not even Mr. Cameron wouldbrand, as a "common cheat" the boy whofinally grows up and leaves the mother whoconceived him, gave him birth, suckled, bath-ed and dressed him.

Which leads us to the conclusion thatwhat Mr. Cameron is urging upon his listen-ers is not poliacal morals, but political infant-ilism. Well, he is qualified.

STRANGE PHILOSOPHYThis is a strange philosophy. And it

makes us think, somehow of the fifteen hap-less Englishmen who wait in vain for theirfifteen Soviet brides, because the Sovietsuper-state decrees that too many valuablekopecks have been invested in their fifteenwomanly bodies, to make their departureeconomically and politically desirable.

Politically desirable. Oh, God. Nevermind the love of man and woman. Forget theunpolitical loyalties of the human heart andthe human soul. The question is—have wegot our money's worth out of them?

NOT SOIt was not always so, in this world. The

centuries past knew men who, accepting aneducation in their native lands, were commonenough to leave their homes and employtheir skills elsewhere—to our own great,good fortune.

We live in the new world, freed fromancient tyrannies, because of them. Christo-pher Columbus, the Genoaese, left his hometo work for Isabella of Spain. So did thePortugese Magellan.

John Cabot, the Florentine, was commoncheat enough to work for England. Erasmus,John Calvin—and Marx and Engels, too.

That list also includes Mrs. R. P. Steeves,who, under Mr. Cameron, is first vice-presi-dent of the CCF in this province. Born inHolland, and graduating from the Universityof Leydn with an LLD degree, she becameby Mr. Cameron's mad yardstick, a commoncheat the day she left her native land forCanada. Without, of course, Mr. Cameron'spermission.

Charge ..Editor,The Daily Ubyssey.Dear Sir:Last year, during the drive for funds

for the Memorial Gymnasium, circu-lard were distributed to most of theweeklies in B.C. urging support forthe drive. Some of the weekly news-papers felt the cause worthy enoughto warrant an editorial in its support.The Courtenay-Comox Argus was onesuch newspaper. (Naturally the edi-torial was without benefit of syntaxor studded with its due amount ofcommas). However, it reached a lotof people in that district.

I would venture to say, however,that circulars concerning UBC willprobably not receive such considera-tion. Naturally, it would be becausethe Courtenay-Comox Argus fearedto have its lack of syntax and sparci-ty of comas again brought to Mr.Bewley's attention.

Mr. Bewely probably fails to realizethat weekly newspapers do not main-tain a staff to polish their prose butare mainly concerned with distri-buting local news to people who areinterested in its contents, not its com-mas.

Peter G. Hughes

In Or Out?The Editor,Sir:

A recent edition of The Daily Ubys-sey does not make it quite clearwhether the Varsity Outdoor Clubhas been evicted from clubroomheadquarters along with the JokersClub, or whether the Jokers movednut so that the Outdoor Club couldmove in.

What I want to know is this: Is theVarsity Outdoor Club indoors or is itoutdoors? If it is indoors, why shouldit be? I believe In clubs practicingwhat their names imply. What pos-sible objection could the OutdoorClub take to being outdoors?

All last winter I was perplexed byparadoxical notices which appearedfrom time to time on blackboards,informing members of the VarsityOutdoor Club that the club wouldmeet at noon that day "in Arts 100."What could be more incongruousthan the Varsity Outdoor Club meet-ing indoors, unless possibly it was aVarsity Indoor Club meeting regu-larly in the botanical gardens?

If political clubs are being made toadopt names appropriate to theiractivities, why should other organiza-tions not be mode to adopt activitiesappropriate to their names?

. . . ReplyDear Sir:

Mr. Hughes, as is his right, takesus to task for our recent commentsupon the editorial content of theComox-Courtenay "Argus" whichpaper, incidentally, is published byMr. Ben Hughes.

While we have no quarrel with thewriter of the letter, we do feel im-pelled to remind him to the followingfacts:

(1) The Alma Mater Society is notresponsible or in any way account-able for the opinions expressed bycontributors to the Ubyssey.

(2) Under those circumstances, it israther unfair to suggest that the AlmaMater Society should be made tosuffer by an implied future non-support of the War Memorial Fund,or other AMS activities.

(3) To suggest such retribution isto suggest that the Alma Mater So-ciety shouud censor any form ofcriticism which may not be liked bythose from whom it seeks support.This is something the AMS cannotdo; and should not be asked to do.

(4) The "Argus" itself, as a news-paper, will undoubtedly be the firstto object to this form of advertiser-control over free (and Well-meant)criticism.

Weasel TalkDear Sir:

I read with some astonishment theletter of Murray D. Bryce, who pro-tests that your are wrong In assertingthat members of the Students So-cialist Forum "are disavowing theCCF".

Bryce claims (1) that the membersof the forum do not disavow the CCF;(2) that in spite of that they do notwish to become a CCF club, pre-ferring to retain the Student Social-ist title because "that name honestlyand clearly states the political philo-sophy in which we are interested";(4) that admittedly the club has in-vited as speakers five prominent CCFparliamentarians, and representativesfrom no other parties; but in spite ofall that they decline to adopt the CCFname.

Mr. Editor, that is weasel talk, andthere is too much similar weaseltalk in campus politics.

For instance, we have on the cam-pus a Communist (now LLP) club,hard by, and in addition, we havethe Social Problems Club, which hasan admitedly Communist president.What is this, hide and seek?

DVA OFFICIALSDENY RUMOR

For the benefit of veterans who be-lieve that they must apply for re-establishment credits before the endof the year, DVA officials announcethat application for credits can bemade anytime within ten years ofdischarge.

Officials point out that the mis-understanding has arisen from thefact that December 31, 1947 is the dead-line for vocational and educationaltraining and, in most instances, for'awaiting returns' applications,

'Bird Hoopmen PreppingFor Homecoming Contest

By DICK BLOCKBERGER

UBC's pride and joy, the Thunder

Robinson WinsCricket 'Blue'

by LES BULLENOne of UBC's most famous athletic

sons and 1940 Rhodes Scholar, BasilRobinson, this summer achieved thegreat distinction of becoming the firstCanadian ever to be awarded his"blue" for cricket at Oxford.

A cricket "blue" at Oxford orCambridge is perhaps the most covet-ed university athletic award in theBritish Commonwealth. In winning it,Basil reached the brightest point yetin his brilliant sports career.

Basil was an outstanding memberof four crack teams: North ShoreUnited, Dominion soccer championsin 1938; Varsity's famous rugger teamof 1938 (the "wonder" team of MajorDobbie) ; the B.C. Junior Cricket teamof 1939, which swept the Inter-Pro-vincial Junior Cricket Championshipsheld in Vancouver; and in 1940, theVarsity XI, Mainland League cham-pions.

Picking up his Rhodes Scholarshipat Oxford last Fall, Basil played soc-cer and rugger for his college duringthe winter term, and in April turnedout for the cricket trials, along withscores of cricket hopefuls from Eng-land, South Africa, Australia, India,New Zealand, in fact from nearlyeverywhere in the Empire.

Although Basil is no slouch whenit comes to batting, it was his fineoff-spin bowling and brilliant fieldingwhich finally won him his place onthe Oxford XI against such stiff com-petition.

After several trial matches on thefamous Parks Ground at Oxford, inwhich his best batting performancewas 51 against Lancashire, he waschosen to go on tour for two weeksas one of 14, from whom the 11 wouldbe chosen for the match against Cam-bridge, and the winning of the covet-ed "blue".

All Oxford's matches were against1st Div. Country teams, the "BigLeague" in English cricket, and inthese games Basil turned in some neatbowling performances, to clinch hisposition on the XI,

Against Worchester he took 6 wick-ets for 55 runs, 4 for 34 vs the M.C.C.,2 for 15 against Middlesex, and 4 for150 against the touring South AfricanTest Team, one of his victims beingMelville, the S. A. skipper. Finallyin the Cambridge match itself, hetook 4 for 51, a magnificent per-formance.

UBC is proud of you, Basil andespecially the Varsity Cricket Club isextremely happy that one of thefounders of the club has achievedsuch distinction in playing "the finestgame yet devised by the wit of man."

New BasketballTimetable Ready

Here is the latest men's basketballschedule. There was one posted lastweek but "there have been somechanges made." This one is reallydefinite.

A copy of this list has been postedin the hall of the gymnasium.

INTERMEDIATESPRACTICE

Wednesday-4:30-6:00Friday--6:30-8:00Monday-7:00-8:30.

SENIOR BPRACTICE

Wednesday -4:00-8:00Monday--8:30-?

Special attention to the Senior Bcall is asked of the last year's SeniorB team, the Acadians, the combinedLaw-Commerce teams. All playersinterested are asked to turn out forthese practices.

Homecoming Day - the day thatthe alumni return to the scene oftheir crimes - the day that the Uni-versity is thrown open to the publicin general - the day that old friends,and new will meet in the Brock Hallfor the Homecoming Dance.

SPORTS PLANNEDBut most important to the Sport's

page of this edition, it will be theday that perhaps the American foot-ball team will break into the wincolumn and that the fans will havetheir first chance to see this year'sThunderbird basketball club in ac-tion.

If you are a sports fan this willsurely be a BIG day for you. Whetherstudent or grad, there will be thrillsa-plenty in store for you.

The gridmen have been taking somepretty awful beatings at the hands ofother universities, at other univer-sities. That is, of course, if we be-lieve all we read. But this will bea home game and the crowd is instore for a sight of hard-driving,hard-hitting football.

PIONEERS HEREThe team our entry will meet on

the field of battle will be the Lewisand Clarke "Pioneers". These boyshave been playing fairly well thisyear but it still may be UBC's chancetb Win.

The team, as well as the wholeUniversity, was sorry to hear of JoeFairleigh's bad luck at Salem, Thatthey will miss him from the line-upthere is no doubt, but they will stillbe trying hard out there on the field.

Game time is 2:30 in the Stadiumand regular prices will be charged.(50 cents - student rush)But if you lean towards indoor

sports and are not the "outdoorsey"type, there will be a fast and furiousbasketball game for you in the even-ing.GRADS VS BIRDS

The Grads, starring such promin-ent mellonmen as Ron Weber, HarryFranklin, Sandy Robertson, HunkHenderson, and a lot of others, al-most the 'Loma club intact, will meetthe Birds at 9:00 in the UBC Gym-nasium. Hornet player of last year,Reg Clarkson, is not expected to bein strip because of an injured hand.BIRDS READY

The Birds will be pretty well stock-ed and ready for anything the Gradshave got to offer.

The team will be composed of NevMunroe, "Bobbin' Bobby" Scarr, PatMcGeer, Bob Haas, Veteran HarryKermode, "Long John" Forsythe,Gordy Selman, Dave Campbell,"Smilin' Jimmy" McLean, and JerryStevenson.

Two newcomers to this year's 'teamwill be out for the game. They areReid Mitchell, winner of last year's"Most Valuable Player" award forhis work on the Chiefs, and "BigBill" Bell, Inter A ball player forVarsity last year.STUDENT EFFORT

Both the football and basketballgames will be thrillers from start tofinish. This Homecoming programwill give the students of UBC a chanceto show the public that they are onehundred percent behind their Collegi-ate entries, win or lose.

We really need a big student at-tendance on Homecoming Day, Let' ,

have it.

MEETINGThere will be a meeting of the

Men's Intramural Representatives inHut G-3, today, Wednesday, October22, at 12:30. This is urgent.

Miss Smith knows her swimming.She has been engaged in competitiveaquatics since she was 17 and holdsseveral records in BC and PNAChampionships over the 50 and 100yd distances.

This annual tournament lastyear saw the Birds succumb 88-41and 73-37.

Reid Mitchell, who has been addedto the squad this year, has come upfrom the Chiefs, the Senior A quin-tet on which he was high scorer be-fore he was forced to retire due toinjury.

Bill Bell, is a lofty pivot man fromthe Inter A soph team of last yearwhich went on to take the provin-cial championship.

IVOR WYNNE .. .... 'mural boss

Dear Mr. Editor:Some rather broad statements were

made by a Mr. Hunter in a lengthyeditorial on the Sports Page of lastWednesday's issue. Mr. Hunter seemsto have been influenced by the rathersketchy and baseless observation ofa certain downtown sports columnistwho is an 'avid supporter of theCanadian code. Mr. Greg Kabat hasa few different views and may besaid to carry a little weight whenspeaking of either game. Mr. Kabatwas an All-American guard for Wis-consin at one time is said to havebeen offered a job coaching theDetroit Lions, Mr, Kabat furtherdistinguished himself by some brainyquarterbacking for the Wnnipeg BlueBombers in his day.

So that when a self-confessed"non-expert" takes the liberty oftaking exception to certain of Mr.Kabat's opinions on a comparison ofthe two codes, readers may rightlyfeel that Mr. Hunter is wading ina little too far.

Mr. Hunter claims that the sweep-ing "end runs" of Mr. Glenn Davisof Army's 1946 squad, prove that endruns are effective under the Ameri-can code. Anyone who has followedArmy's victory stretch by radio dur-ing the past four years knows thatMr. Davis ran up his yardage eitherthrough off-tackle plays or runningthrough a broken field and had verylittle to do with end sweeps. I wishto offer a few figures, which uponreflection, would seem to show thatDavis cannot prove Mr. Hunter'spoint,

firi) 1100 offense last year, 1MrDavis gained 712 yards rushing and396 yards passing for a total of 1108yards. This average as good enoughto rank him tenth among the topoffensive backs. But the top manwas a Mr. Mackrides of Nevada wholost 70 yards rushing but gained 1254yards passing for a total 1184 yards.A Mr. Layne from Texas tossed 77passes for 1122 yards and gained 338yards rushing and a Mr. Harry Gil-mer had a habit of running backpunts; 37 of them for 436 yards! Howmuch of Mr. Davis' 712 yards waspicked up on "end sweeps" is un-known, but he was thrown for a totalloss of 123 yards through the seasonand ranked second in this respectbeing surpassed only by Tidwell ofAuburn. Undoubtedly the first classArmy line missed the odd block onthe odd "end sweep".

The above would seem to indicatethat order forms of offense are farmore effective than rushing. This isof course far from truth. Even IF Mr.Davis had picked up half of hisyardage on "end sweeps," the cap-abilities of an individual player can-not be the basis for the rule. If an-other budding "Davis" should turnout for practices under Coach KabatAND if the blockers should suddenlyblossom into Pooles and Folbergsand Tuckers, then perhaps Mr. Kabatmight make an exception and run theodd "end sweep". The Canadiancode, on the other hand, is conduc-ive to end-round plays with back-

Joker Hoop TeamTo Meet Council

The maples of the gymnasium floorare in for a terrific beating thisFriday if the members of the newlyorganized Jokers Club have anythingto say in the matter. The gym is tobe the scene of proposed Basketballgame with the members of the Coun-cil out to defend their decision con-cerning the Jokers club.

The big battle is all part of a Jokerpep meet that will take place at12:30 in the gym. The Jokers feelthat they have a moral right to takeover the Brock Hall, or at least theoffices at present occupied by theCouncil.

In announcing the game, AceJoker Ellis has given the line-up thatwill take the floor for the honourof the Pack. They expect to haveDick Pen, Norm Watt, Bruce Thomp-son, Perth Webster, Dick Ellis, andpossibly, according to rumour, theLevy Brothers may even be out.

In his statement concerning theoutcome of the game, Ace JokerDick Ellis said, "We'll be pullingplenty of tricks out of the deck andwe hope to lose the Council in theshuffle.

The Jokers feel that it is onlyright to caution the fans that it mightbe a rough tilt as they expect to score

fl few baskets with the Council Mem-bers making the trip through the hoopthemselves.

It's all part of the big pep meeton Friday at 12:30 in the gym. TheJokers are in action again,

field motion giving plenty of timefor beefy fullbacks to wind up andfollow 4 or 5 blockers.

The general attitude seems to bethat the Thunderbirds cannot playa good game and lose. Mr. Huntermakes a point of this when he men-tions his opinion of Mr. Kabat's re-marks to the effect that "the boysioukcd a lot better out there (Bell-ingham) than at any other previoustime". Did Mr. Hunter really ex-pect us to win that game? UBC musthave been playing pretty well de-fensively to keep the score down to32-0! It is sometimes surprising justhow deceptive a score can be whenconsidered in the light of the playon the field. We've got a greenteam and it will take time; the sametime that every other team has takeno reach the top.

As an example of how a score candeceive, just scan the following fig-ures on the Wisconsin-Californiagame which took place last week:First downs 13 10Net yards rushing 325 335Net yards passing 128 140Aver. dist, of punts 45.5 41.8ards penalized 20 50

FINAL SCORECalifornia 48; Wisconsin 7

Yours sincerely,Football fan

ED. NOTE—(The following Is AlHunter's reply to above letter).

While many of your statements arewell taken, I feel that I must takeexception to certain of them. Yourpoint re Glen Davis and end runsmakes it clear to me that in thisrespect I was in error.

However, I cannot accept your in-ference that I was influenced by theobservations of a "certain downtownsports columnist". If you will readagain the article in question I believeyou will find that I took exceptionto statements made by both Mr.Kabat and Mr. McConnell. I failto see any instance in which I was"influenced" by either.

Also, I was slightly confused bycertain of your statements concerningthe relative records of the best Ameri-can halfbacks. You claim that the"top" man was a "Mr. Mackrides ofNevada" who gained a net total of1148 yards. Yet in the next sentenceyou state that Layne, frotit Texas,gained a net total of 1460 yards. Iam afraid I do not follow your lineof reasoning.

In your statement, 'The generalattitude seems to be that the Thun-derbirds cannot play a good gameand lose", you are obviously refer-ring to my attitude; again I takeexception. If you will check thesport page of the Daily Ubyssey forTuesday, October 7, I believe you willfind that I gave the Thunderbirdsconsiderable credit for their showingagainst College of Puget Sound.

From your statement's regardingthe Bellingham game and the accom-panying yardstick of the Wisconsin-California match it would appearthat you did not witness the contestin Bellingham.

In case you are laboring underthe delusion that the Thunderbirdrecord in Bellingham was compar-able to that of Western Washington,I would ask you to refer to the offi-cial yardstick of the game, publishedin the Ubyssey of October 15.

Lastly, I have heard of no lawconcerning the "Divine right of foot-ball coaches" and therefore feel thatI, or anyone else who so desires, isat perfect liberty to take exceptionto remarks made by same. I main-tained, and I still maintain, that the'Birds were not up to par in theirmatch with Western Washington.

Whittle WorkingSenior A Entry

Coach Doug Whittle is reallybeginning to give his Senior Aboys the well-known "works".

With the Senior A circut gettingunder way in the first of November,time runs short to work out the fini-ishing touches on the team. '

Some two dozen aspirants havebeen present at the frequent pract-ices in the last two weeks. Prospectsfor the entry appear to be prettygood.

Foremost among those turning outare Gord Broadhead, of last year'sChiefs, Art Phillips and Rob Aber-crombie of Dunbar Inter B. TreyShaw and Gord Blake from VarsityInter A.

"The team will be composed of 12men. It will be picked just beforeour first game in November," saysChuck Marshall, Chief manager."Till then, who knows?"

OHomecoming Day this year will be

held on Saturday, November thefirst.
