PRANKSTERS RAID BIOLOGYDEPT; GOLDFISH MISSING

Mr. Pillsbury of the department of Biology and Botanyhas again become the victim of "campus pranksters."

"Students," he claims, "are carrying off my laboratorybit by bit."

Latest acquisitions of the pranksters are a pair of raregoldfish and also a pair of indispensible eye-glasses.

Last term culprits subjected the frogs to many indes-cribable indignities, and now he is worried as to what willbe the fate of the goldfish.

Question of NFCUS affiliation with IUS will be decidednext Tuesday at a general AMS meeting to be held in the Gymat 12:30 p.m.

Time shortage caused the vital issue to be shelved at last 4\ Friday's special meet.

The Tuesday meeting will be de-voted primarily to the question ofaffiliation, Grant Livingstone, AMSPresident, said yesterday. But studentshaving new business to be discussedmust present it before the council by5:30 Monday afternoon, he added.

The resolution, which proposes, withreservations, the affiliation of theNational Federation of Canadian Uni-versity Students with the InternationalUnion of Students, has caused con-siderable controversy at Canadianuniversities in the past month.

While two prairie universities havevoted down the motion, feeling far-ther east is more in favor of affiliation.

UBC students will decide Tuesdayif NFCUS-IUS affiliation is to be ap-proved on Canada's Pacific coast.

HOUSECLEANINGThe resolution calls for a two year

affiliation with IUS on condition thata thorough housecleaning of partisanpolitical actions is carried out by thatorganiziation. If the conditions ofaffiliation are not achieved in the twoyear period, NFCUS reserves the rightto withdraw.

The resolution points out that theIUS is a world union having as itsmembers many national unions ofstudents.'POLITICAL OBJECTIVES'

Its activities, the report continues,have not been limited to fulfilling thecommon needs and aims of universitystudents throughout the world, butit has participated in political ob-jectives.

It is on condition that IUS droppartisan political ties that NFCUS iswilling to make a long term affili-ation.

President Grant Livingstone saidthat a world federation of universitystudents dedicated to the promotionof understanding and good will be-tween them should be the aim of suchan affiliation.

Ballots Forged InAlberta Elections

Edmonton, Jan. 28—(CUP)—A stu-dent whose name was withheld, se-cured several "A" cards which givestudents voting eligibility and usedthorn to cast more than one vote fora political party during recent MockParliament elections at the Univer-sity of Alberta.

According to the elections rules,"A" cards were to be presented atthe polls and marked before thevoter received his ballot.

Reaction of campus political leaderswas unanimous in denouncing themisuse of voting privileges. Someleaders expressed willingness to con-test another election as a result ofthe inaccurate tally.

Party heads agreed to leave in-vestigation and further action to theParliamentary Committee as laidclown in the constitution of the Poli-tical Science Club.

Anti-red PamphletRefused by U of AUndergrad Society

Edmonton, Jan 28 — (CUP)—The University of Alberta'sEducation Undergraduate So-ciety has refused to distributean anti-Red pamphlet on thecampus, branding the publica-tion, a Canadian Chamber ofCommerce pamphlet called"The Communist Threat toCanada," as the "rankest typeof propaganda."

The Alberta Teachers Associationhad approached the Education Under-graduate Society requesting that theydistribute the pamphlets among theEducation students at the University.In an explanatory letter publishedin a recent issue of "The Gateway"University of Alberta student news-paper, the Education UndergraduateSociety gave their reasons why theyrefused to concur with the request.

GIVE REASONSThe three main statements concern-

ing the refusal were as follows:1. "While the pamphlet contains a

number of facts (?), it also con-tains a great deal of highly ques-tionable reasoning.

2. "Its distribution would not be inkeeping with our training andstandards as a profession or Uni-versity organization.

1. "We do not propose to be thepolitical tool of any organizationwhatsoever."

ANALYSE WORKThe society executive said that the

decision was made without outsidecomment or opinion and that it wasagreed after an objective analysis ofthe situation.

Though some students expressedthe opinion that they favored thedistribution of the pamphlet and thatthe Education students were easysubjects for lobbying left-wing groups,it is unlikely that any other campusgroup at the University of Albertawill agree to distribute Lhe anti-Redexpose, reliable sources said.

BIIrL McKAY has been ap-pointed Chief Returning Offi-cer, to serve during the forth-coming Alma Mater Societyelections.

k Underhill Rap S

laying In Cal

Habits of Caf customers have come under,fire from Cafeteriamanager Frank Underhill for the second time within a year.

Yesterday, Underhill informed The Daily Ubyssey that hehad taken action to have card playing in the Caf stopped. Heindicated that use of the overcrowded restaurant as a bridgeclub should not be allowed, in his opinion.

Last Fall he complained that Greek. Letter Societies were restricting theuse of Caf tables by reserving manyof them for themselves.

Sorority groups were the worst of-fenders, he said. However he addedthat others were also guilty.

"We haven't enough room now," hesaid. "Sitting there playing cards - isnot very good when we're busy."

LIVINGSTONE TOLDUnderhill said he had phoned AMS

President Grant Livingstone Mondayand asked to have the Discipline Com-mittee check up on Caf card playing.He referred to his complaint con-cerning reservation of tables by GreekLetters Societies last September.

"The Discipline Committee stoppedthem last Fall," he said.

`Eleven' Refuse To SponsorPoland's Former Premier

In an effort to maintain its non-partisan position StudentCouncil Monday turned thumbs down on a proposal that theAMS sponsor the appearance here of Stanislaus Mikolajczyk, @ former premier of Poland.

A New York booking agency offeredthe speaker to the InternationalRelations Club, which in turn handedthe matter over to the Special EventsCommittee. Spokesmen for the twoorganizations pointed out that anyinterested groups could sponsor thespeaker provided that they had the$600 guarantee.

PRECEDENTGrant Livingstone, AMS president,

pointed out that policy regarding paidpolitical speakers was defined last No-vember when Student Council decis-ion was promulgated following pres-sure from campus political clubs.

At that time Council had under-taken to sponsor the appearance hereof Kurt von Schuschnigg, former Aus-trian chancellor, and then hastily re-treated when campus politicians unit-ed to blast Council's stand.

MUST HAVE PLANIn self -defence Council passed a

ruling which stated that paid lecturescould be presented by clubs but onlyon presentation of a feasible plan forthe repayment of the speakers' fees.

The von Schuschnigg affair, whichdrew the editorial attention of adowntown newspaper, was finally set-tled when the Newman club cameforward with a private sponsor whowas willing to underwrite the fee.

Student ApathyDear Sir:

In the column 'Letters to theEditor' many students have com-plained about the apathy of ourpresent and past student bodies.To those 'go-getters' I would liketo point out that the history ofthis campus since the time of the'Trek' has been well marked withperiods of apathy.

Many of us—I include myself—travel out to the Mall for the strictpurpose of learning. It takes allour time to absorb our lecturesand that, to us, is more importantthan someone's political infancy.This semester I am studying onesubject, in the hospital, and so atthis time take the opportunity tothank you, the editorial staff ofthe paper, and the fairer half ofthe Legion for keeping me postedon the affairs, whether they are.to me, large or small, in their in-fluence on your future and mine.

Not so long ago we had a pur-pose, whether to fight or study.It seems that some of us have lostour drive for the sake of a littlebackscratching. Why not stop re-flecting petty world politics andshow them how to get on with thejob, and that for us is a mite, asmall instant of study.

PETER A. BOVING.

'Immoral' StatementDear Sir:

In regard to your indelible, ne-farious typographical error, or li-belous misquotation, I wish torectify your blasphemous state-ment. The proper statement chos-en by myself was "Women areinvariably more 'immortal thanmen."

Such a word as 'immoral' waslost in my finer views. Howeverthe statement as it appears in yourworthy publication can not bethoroughly denied by such an in-adequate observer as myself. Itwas a grand error, but please—notwith my name.

CITY EDITOR THIS ISSUE: Hal TennantASSOCIATE EDITOR: Loni Francis

THERE MUST BE A WAYOne of the least understood organizations

on the campus today is, oddly enough, a muchtalked-about group known as the Under-graduate Societies Committee. At its incep-tion, the USC was envisioned as a sort ofHouse of Representatives to stand in relationto Council as the House to Cabinet.

A quick glance at the Code of the AlmaMater Society tells us that the USC is to "pro-mote, direct, control, and co-ordinate theactivities of the various Undergraduate So-cieties" and "to act as a medium through whichthe undergraduate body can effectively ex-press their views on matters important tothem as members of the AMS."

Further down, we find that the duties ofthe USC includes fostering co-operation amongthe Undergraduate Societies in the interestsof "successful prosecution of drives, benefitsand schemes affecting the undergraduatebody."

A further duty is the setting up of stand-ing committees for action in discipline, fin-ancing and other aspects of the universitylife, essential to a smooth running studentgovernment.

The measure to which the UndergraduateSocieties Committee has succeeded in carry-ing out these objects and duties is somewhatdoubtful, although it is readily conceded thatthe actions of this group have been of valuein the past.

A lonely traveller upon th9 vast Saharaof sadness that is our lot, your Uncle wasjogging along last week, following in the foot-prints of a lurching humanity in the sands oftime, when he came upon signs of a scufflein the desert.

Judging by the number of splintered ad-jectives lying around, it was clear that theUniversmitybastids, a wild and woolly tribe ofdesert Bedouins, had passed this way. Anold file of Daily Ubysseys revealed that Sheikel Grant Livingstone, their elected chieftain,had been doing some disciplinary smiting.And a large puddle of crocodile' tears nearbyshowed clearly that those professional tribalweepers, the eLPP's, had also been involved.

A second puddle, composed of real tears,showed that other members of the Univers-mitybastids, seeing their chieftain smiting theeLPP's hip and thigh, had broken into sobs.

Well, if this little note, sealed . in a beerbottle and left in the desert, ever reachesthem, this is to tell them not to worry; andcertainly not to waste real, honest tears any-more, when eLPP's get smacked on their bot-toms and break into crocodile tears of self-pity. You can't hurt an eLLP by hitting himwith the flat side of an adjective.THE SYSTEM'S FAULT

Youll have to take your uncle's wordfor that. Long ago (when he was very young,indeed) he used to be a Socialist, given toprove that if there was any evil in this world,it was the fault of The System. even triedto blame his own bummy condition in life onthe fact that he was a Victim of the System.

This was too much for his stomach, how-'ever, and he stopped being a Socialist. Beforehis stomach gave way under what he wastrying to feed it, he met a lot of Commies (be-fore they became eLPP's, and he, too, did alot of weeping.

He wept over the thought of the starved,Victims of The System, lying in cheap coffinswith the heelmarks of capitalists stamped allover their pale, pinched faces; he wept overSacco-Vanzetti; Scott Young; Upton Sinclairin the Jungle; the innocent victims of Hay-market Square; and near laid himsef out withcrying every time the editors of Commie pub-lications rolled up the shirts of Earl Browderand Norman Thomas to show the red wealsthat unkind adjectives had left on the backsof these two worthies.

Perhaps one of the first ways that USCcould be helped to its rightful position clrecognition would be to add some prestigeto the body through the election of its presi-dent on the same slate as the president andtreasurer of the Students' Council. At present,the office is filled during the third period ofelections along with the presidents of WUS,LSE, WAA, and MAD.

It is unfortunate that it is too late thisyear to see what kind of an effect this movewould have on the actions of what could be avery important body. There seems to bevery little reason why USC should not befree of council domination. This does notappear to be the case at this time.

One more suggestion might be in order.A fundamental step in thorough going publicrelations of USC would be a change in thename of the body. Perhaps a more impressiveand logical label would be simply the "Boardof Representatives." It must be admitted thatthe "Undergraduate Societies Committee"sounds like a cozy little gathering of minutereaders to the average student. Perhapssuch an ominous-sounding name as that sug-gested would do the trick.

At any rate, it is plain that somethinghas got to be done about USC, if only to en-sure something better than a 30% turnoutat their meetings.

Before he stopped weeping, he learnedthat the Commies (who apparently have muchstronger stomachs than he) were the mostscrofulous little bunch of hypocrites that thisworld, at least, has ever seen.COMMIES AND SOAPY SUDS

He learned that the Commies revel in thesoapy suds of an illusory persecution the waythat a movie star soaks up a bubble bath.They take it like dope because it makes themfeel important. They couldn't get along with-out it. And if there isn't a real half-grain ofpersecution around, they'll do anything toget the jolt that a sense of persecution brings.

That explains such tipsy spectacles aseLLP's standing up, well-fed and rosy, in acampus lecture room which is heated, sup-plied and booked regularly for their use by anoppressor govmint, to cry in all seriousnessthat there is no freedom of speech and onlyfreedom to starve.

Madness? No - merely the narcotic of thedelusion of persecution - plus, sometimes, thecalculated promotion of dissatisfaction, inorder that they may sell you the salve for theitch they are trying to promote. Not manenough to admit that some things may be hisown fault, your Commie naturally yelps ofpersecution at every earned reproof.

Figure it out yourself. When a Commie,inside or outside of veteran's organizations,demands that the government make sharpincreases in pensions and allowances, he makesit - not for the benefit of the persons con-cerned - but in the knowledge that Parliamentis not prepared to grant that amount, and inthe hope of promoting disaffection amongstveterans when Parliament does the expectedand turns it down. That way, he has every-thing to gain, and nothing to lose.

So weep no more, dear Universmitybas-tids, when the crocodile tears begin to fall.The "witch-hunting" you decry is a wonderfulterm - a wonderful propaganda term. Nobodylikes anybody who would drag out an in-nocent lady and burn her at the stake forwhat she is supposed to believe.

As he leaves this scuffle upon the sands,your Uncle, from his own experience withthe maggotty habits of his old Commie com-rades in arms, can only wonder that el Living-stone held his temper as long as he did. Andwhy so many good, honest tears should fallafter the crocodile ones.

Which to Destroy?In reply to the report appearing

in Wednesday's Ubyssey regardingmy verbal battle with Mr. Shul-man I wish to clarify the reportwhich appeared in the Ubyssey.My question arising out of thespeech given by Mr. Shulmanoriginated from the remarks onthe advantages of a planned econ-omy under Marxian doctrines. Onespecific instance of his speechdealt with the capitalist practiceof destroying tons of foodstuffsand how this practice would beeliminated under a planned econ-omy.

My chief question dealt with thecontrast of destroying food in acapitalistic economy and the liq-uidation of the peasant class inSoviet Russia who refused to sur-render their grain to the SovietState.

All I wanted was an answerfrom Mr. Shulman as to the rela-tive merits of the Russian systemof destroying people and our ownsystem of destroying food. Myquestion arose from the speech ofMr. Shulman and was not as re-ported, an attempt to switch thetopic under discussion to that ofalleged mass murders.

I attended the discussion as anindividual and not as the accredit-ed apresentative of the NewmanClub. If I was speaking for myclub officillly I would have saidso.

Social StabilityDear Sir:

Mr. Tupper gives us to under-stand that he has been filled withnausea and alarm to no smalldegree by Harold Winch's sugges-tion that we must combat delin-quency with eugenics and steril-ization. Mr. Tupper has been re-minded of Huxley's reeking bravenew world - prematurely agedby his years with the air forcehe shambles away muttering be-tween ashen lips.

But if Mr. Tupper will take asecond look at Brave New Worldhe will find that Huxley is notlaying bare the Perils of Socialism,but is describing the inevitableconsequence of devotion to themaintenance of social stability—ofthe status quo. Mustapha Mondis the acme of consistent Conser-vatism.

Within recent years the Englishpsychologist, Sir Cyril Burt, haspointed out that natural selectionand the absence of large familiesamong the more intelligent mem-bers of the community is leadingto a general lowering of the levelof intelligence. The English gene-ticist, JBS Haldane, claims that,without some eugenic measuresthe human species is going toevolve backwards instead of for-wards. But Mr. Tupper is nause-ated.

There is only one solution. Willyou lead us in prayer, BrotherTupper,

MISIMPRESSIONS CORRECTED

by W. A. B. EWAN

Space Given To Livingstone TiffUnwarrented, Says Reader Ewan

ED. NOTE: The following isreprinted from a previous issue inorder to correct several ntisim-pressions left through the unfort-unate advent of a typographicalerror. Of the letter itself we wouldpoint out that while we concourwe think it in the students' interestto keep them informed on theactivities of their elected leader.

Dear Sir:You have extended improper

service to Mr. Livingstone. Thefront page prominence given Tues-day (Jan. 13) to his vitriolic at-tack upon unnamed UBC person-

alities was completely unwar-rented.

Does he have free use of yourspace to shout "They are mur-dering me!" while he twists theknife among the ribs of some-one else's character?'NOT REFUTED'

Mr. Livingstone has not yet re-futed the charge quoted on thiscampus, not by communist rumor-mongers, but by our own publi-cation. A repetition of all theanti-communist nonsense to whichwe have been subjected since theclose of the late war does not con-stitute a reply to anything, nor

•a condemnation of anyone. Mr.Livingstone's deft use of the word"liar" in the best tory ward-mantradition as a substitute for aproper and decent reply is all theassassination of his own characterhe need look for.

At the general meeting of Branch72 held in December the entireemphasis of Livingstone's contri-bution to the formulation of thebranch resolution was that its de-mand (read urgent request) shouldbe limited to assistance for studentvets with unemployable depend-ents. The NCSV does not concur,as Don Lanskail ably reported,

but asks for that which will fillthe needs of the present situation—a cost of living bonus. Does Mr.Livingstone feel that the NCSVhas again been irrational? Theywere irrational last year, werethey not? Mr. Livingstone saidso at the same meeting.'HIRE A HALL'

If Mr. Livingstone feels the needto relieve himself of such stuff,let him hire a hall. I don't thinkthat the students' interests areserved by employing Ubysseyspace in such manner.

HAL MURPHY, Acting Sports Editor

ASSOCIATE THIS ISSUE: Fred Moonen •

SportatorialIn spite of the absence of several of our editors, who Are

busy putting out the sports page at the University of Washingtonthis week, this department is besieged on all sides by fans andtheir comment. Today's mail brought an interesting note froma hockey enthusiast.

Dear Sirs:

After witnessing Sunday's hockey game in which NewWestminster Cubs defeated UBC, I feel compelled to complainagainst the rough tactics and biased refereeing which took theheart out of the UBC team. Our team should be commendedfor putting up such a good fight against impossible odds. Orchidsto Haas Young, who returned his share of blows in two fights.The bad calls against Hugh Berry, Terry Nelford and HaasYoung make it imperative that our team have the full supportof all fair-minded UBC students in Wednesday's return match.Come out and make revenge sweet for Frank Frederickson andour game team.

Yours sincerely,H. Frydenlund, Arts 2.

o these serious iarges the campus can by no means re-main indifferent. This department felt that it would be in theinterests of all Blue and Gold fans to publish the followinganswer, written by hockey writer Fred Moonen. Fred has beento most of the UBC hockey tilts this season and is, in ouropinion, well qualified to comment on the blade boys activities.

Dear H. F. and Readers:

In replying to your letter I can only say that I echo yoursentiments entirely. I might also add a plug to yours, and urge allstudents to make the trip out to the Forum tonight. Let meassure all those that do, that they will witness a first class hockeygame, with a good deal more spirit and vigour than that seenin many leagues of so-called higher calibre. The 'Birds have beenplaying hockey since early fall, and with the exception of one'big' night last November, they have been playing without agreat deal of support from the student body. So, I repeat,come out to the Forum tonight at 9 to see the game of the year.

Remember, its a grudge battle between the 'Birds and theCubs, and promises to be a real tilt.

'Bird Pucksters Meet CubsTonight In Grudge Battle

By FRED MOONENThe battle between the New Westminster Cubs and UBC

Thunderbirds scheduled to go at the Forum tonight at 9, hastaken on all the aspects of a first class grudge meeting. Afterlast Sunday's fiasco at Queen's Park Arena against this sameclub, and the referee to boot, Frank Frederickson's boys aregoing all out to garner a win against the first-place New West-minster outfit

A slight change in lineup willfeature two new members to theVarsity squad. Harold Enqvist andTom Willis, both freshman hickoryartists will supplant the regulars,John Frazee, Doug Fraser, ArnieTeasdale, Gar Robinson and 'NickAnderson.

It \vas the Banff downhill courselast year that led UBC to 0 smashingvictory. Last year's course was anindirect schuss race but this year, thecourse has been lengthened consid-erably and will feature. a Kandahartype finish (trail running).

Montana surprised the field lastyear when two of their membersschussed the course for the first timein its history, They had, of courseslow wax jobs which enabled themto survive the 2000 foot drop schuss.This year, with a lengthened course,such a procedure would lose moretime On the lower regions than gain-ed On the uppe• part.

SKI NOTICESki trials in Cross-Country and

Jumping will be held on GrouseMountain on February 8 and CoachPeter Vajda wants all skiers inter-ested in making the team to turn outby 11 a.m. on the Sunday morning.

Actually the contest should be thebest Senior A tilt run off this year,and although the Students will prob-ably trot onto the maples as under-dogs in the betting, more than a fewcanny observers give them an evenchance to take this one.BAKKEN MISSING

Although the trip was good for themtheoretically, the Leafs are undoubted-ly very tired. Added to this is thefact that Wedensday's game will betheir second in as many nights; bothof them without ace pivotman OlieBakken who remained behind in SanFrancisco for a while.

On the other hand the Chiefs havenever been in better shape and theirrecord shows it. The Students havefive straight wins to their credit in-cluding a victory over the league-leading Luck les.BOSSONS RETURNS

Another bright spot on the Blue andGold horizon is the fact that veteranguard and ace scorer Freddie Bossonswill be back in strip.

Bossons was forced to leave Satur-day's game at Chilliwack early in thefirst quarter after injurying his back,and for a time it looked as if hemight not be able play for some time.However, latest reports state that Bos-sons is well on the road to recoveryand will definitely he back at hisrearguard position alongside cohortBobby Boyes.

PORTLAND FLYERSHERE FOR WEEKENDTILTS WITH BIRDS

Smarting from the set-back that theywere handed Saturday night on theUBC maples at the hand of a SeattleCollege quintette, the Thunderbirdsare steadily prepping for a two gameseries with Portland College thisweekend.

Here for two games Friday andSaturday night, the powerful inde-pendent Portland squad has had animpressive record so far this year.Typical of this Is the 82-43 shellackingthat they handed Whitman Collegetwo nights ago.

Game time Friday night is eighto'clock. Tickets are available at theoffice of the Graduate Manager ofAthletics.

Blues, Whites WinIn Varsity Minors

Minor League hoopers sawaction a-plenty on the campusMonday night as the Inter A:olds waltzed to a 45-25 winover an Acadia Senior B quin-tet, and a spirited Inter AWhite team came from behindin the last seconds to edge theSciencemen 40-36.

In the initial contest of the evening,the Golds held only a slim 8-7 lead atthe quarter. However they forgedahead and lead 18-10 at the half timebreather. Coming back after the"pause that refreshes", the Golds add-ed another 10 points to their score.In the last quarter the Acadians madea vain attempt to gain leadership butfell short of the mark. Final scorewas 45-25.

Holding a 9-6 lead at the quarterand stretching it to a 19-14 margin atthe half, the Golds seemed well ontheir way. However, an inspiredScience team came back to catch theWhites and lead 36-35 with a scant45 seconds to go. Just then the Whitesturned on the heat that paid off.Denny Wotherspoon lofted a long one-hander to put the Inter A boys infront by one point, Seconds later BillyWalker scored on a fast breakinglay-up and Hugh Rae followed witha scored gratis throw. Some 20 sec-onds remained and the die was cast.Whites won 40-36,

The team will be at full strengthfor the game tonight, with House ingoal, Nelford and Saunders on onedefense and Wilde and Hughes on theother. Three forward lines will prob-ably see action, with the make-upof the third still in doubt,

Haas Young, Fred Andrew andHugh Berry will go into the game asthe first attacking unit, with thesecond line of Koch, Wagner andTorfason another sure bet to seeplenty of Ice.

REID DOUBTFULThe third line is still tentative, with

Lerbeckno and Rowledge flankingeither Mac Porteous or Gus Reid. Thelatter has been on the injured list forthe last couple of weeks, and Porteoushas been filling in at centre. If Reidis fit to play he probably will, thusallowing Mac to take up his manager-ial duties once more.

Team members stated after the gamelast weekend that penalties killedthem. The Cubs rapped in their win-ning tallies while the 'Birds were twomen short.

TEAM RED HOTHaas Young who was the 'Birds had

boy in the last tilt when he garnered9 minutes in penalties, for partakingin various skirmishes with Wright ofthe Cubs, should be red-hot in to-night's contest and the Cubs will haveto watch him. Rumour hath it thatWright still carries scars from his lastmeeting with One Punch', and willnot lead with his chin if he boardsany more 'Birds.

Unless something unforeseen occurs,such as the Birds running out ofsteam in the third period, as has hap-pened in several of their previoustilts, UBC students who witness thecontest tonight will have a victoryto shout about.

MEN'S TENNIS
