Formidable AdanacsTo Face Varsity

Last Saturday night before a crowdof seven hundred people in the HasteIsla Park Horssohow Building, the/Manses qualified to moot Vanity inthe boil hoop finals by beating West.minster by 8048.

Varsity will have a real fight ontheir hands in view of the tact that

' the Adtnsos were better than the$00re Would seem to indicate . Theyare fully as feet as the Collegians an dWe skill and flashiness .

Butler, brother of Tunny, is perhapsthe most outstanding man . Put andhusky, he can worry the best of for .wards while accounting for a goodlynumber of points himself. Doug Frase rgets in a good game at guard while

TunnyButler can hold down anyone while heOften heads the scoring list. At for-ward Grant is in perfect form andWally Mayers is one of the best for.Wards in the province . This pair iseasily the best seen in the U .B .O. TedMclflwen at centre has improved somuch the last two months that he ha sbecome one of the beet centres in Van-couver. He has speed, reach, a dead•shot and he in rapidly getting expert•sues. Varsity's torte is the smoothcombination which has topped all oth-er teams so far.

Since both teams usually work theirfirst string five over the full route ,t ho games ought to be the best thi sseason. Varsity already has two win sto their credit over the Adanace bu tone can never tell what the West-minster boys can do . The first gam ewill be at the Westminster Arena,Tuesday, February 28th, at 9 p .m. Thestudents ought to get out and boost th eboys, at least in their home games.

DOCTOR LECTURESASPIRING MEDICOSAt a meeting of the Pre-Medica l

Club, on Friday, Dr, Seldon gave theclub some much-needed encourage •meet . The speaker quoted a resolu-tion adopted by the Vancouver Medi-cal Association, favouring the inaug-uration of a three year course in Medi-cine at the U. B. C. Thus withthe President and Faculty In favor o fthe idea, there remain the Senate an dGovernment tc, be converted .

Dr. Belden commenced his addressby deploring the slackness in medica ltraining In Wortern Canada . This, hesaid, was due to the lack of facilitie sand to the lack of support of medicalmen .

The reasons he gave for the estab-lishment of a school of Medicine her ewere numerous . In the first place, th eUniversity should be fully representa-tive of the public. The Rockefelle rFoundation chose Vancouver as thelogical place for a medical school, andwith B. C. students being refused ad-mission at. Eastern Colleges, the tim ehas come for a Faculty of Medicine a tthis University .

The cost, it has been estimate dwould be only $80,000 a year, exclusiv eof equipment, for a course In An-atomy, Physiology and Clio•Chemistry ,which would be the flrst three coursesto establish . Once under way, th eschool would be practically self-sup-porting, es endowments would bepractically assured .

A College Hospital is necessary forthe m edic a l Faculty, and that thes etwo should be established in one build-ing Is a matter of common sense .

After his address, I)r, Seldoo an-swered several questions, and close dby saying that the question is nowbefore the government and the Un1 -verity Senate,

COUNCIL DISCUSSESELEGIEILITY RULE S

A special meeting of the Students'Council was held on Thursday to dis-cuss the new elegibility rules whichwill come into effect.

Three members of the faculty, Mr.Jordan, Mr. Wood and Mr. Davidsonwore present, and gave their opinion son the question. Mr. Wood gave sta-tistics showing that very few peopletaking part in the Christmas Plays ,fail In the Christmas examinations.It was then decided that the Christ•mae plays be classed as a minor ac-tivity and they will not be affectedby the new rules .

Both Council and Faculty memberswore wholeheartedly in favor of th eregulations being adopted . Dr, David-son expressed the sentiment of th emeeting when he declared that "U .S .C . might just as well get in line withregulations of the other institutionsin which we come in touch ." Thematter will be put to the students tovote on at an Alma Mater meetingIn the near future.

PROPOSED REGULATIONS OFSTUDENT ACTIVITIE S

Council has considered for som etime the need of some elementaryregr'lattons of student activities .

It is felt that some regulations, nottoo restrictive, are necessary for th ebenefit of those few who do not im .pose their own restrictions, Conse •quontly on Friday next, Council wil lask that the Alma Mater Societyauthorise the Students' Council to pas sthe following regulations in the for mof a byelaw.

1, Students of the first year be notallowed to represent the UniversityIn any senior activity, athletic or Iiter•sty, until they have shown by regula rexaminations their ability to carr yon successfully their academic work .

(I .e . No Freshman may play on thefirst team of any major sport nor tak epart in an Inter-collegiate debate un•tit after the Christmas examinations .The Christmas Plays are a minor ac-tivity of the Players' Club. AfterChristmas, regulations 3 and 4 wil lapply .)

2. No student whose academi cstanding is incomplete be allowed torepresent the University on any ac-tivity which necessitates absence fro mclass ,

(I.e . A student's academic recor dmust i)4 clear before he may repro -sent the University on any activit ycalling for absence from class . An ypast. supplementals must have bee ncleared off . )

3. No students be allowed to repre-sent the University In any senior ac-tivity unless he has full standing I nat least 80% of his required course .

(i .e . A student may take part in asenior activity if he has supplementalsin not more theq one-fifth of his re-quired course . In most cases thismeans one supp . In a throe-uni tcourse, More than this prohibits an yman from taking part In the activitie sof the first team of a major sport oran Inter-collegiate debate or thespring play, or the leading parts o fthe Musical Society's spring concert . )

4. No student be allowed to engag ein any activity calling for competitionwith organizations outside the Uni-versity unless he has full standing I nat least 60% of his required course .

5. Students shall be limited in thenumber of activities In which theyengage : That in no case shall a stud-ent whose academic standing is In -complete carry on more than two ac-tivities and there shall be of differ-ent characters, i .e . Athletic or Liter•ary or Executive.

(i.e . This is an extension of th eby-law of March 30th, 1921 . Therehas been a tendency for too few stud-ents to monopolize student activitiesand efllces, If a student le not cap -able of passing all his examination she Is not capable of taking part inmore than two activities . )

Varsity's second annual game of international prominence will get unde rway to-morrow when the first string team clashes with the New South WesWaratahs.

Still smarting from their last defeat, the whole squad have been doin gthe most conscientious training of the year. Early morning practices together with the regular afternoon grinds, which only finished yesterday, havebeen the last conditioning process of Coach Jack Tyrwhitt, and if conditio n

is any criterion by which to Judge ateam's ability, and it usually is, the mVarsity has good odds of ghov ►fnnggthe fast•stepping Waratahe some realopposition.

On Saturday, Vancouver was defeat,ed by the visitors in one of the moat,evenly contested matches of the year,losing three points. Earlier In the yearthe blue and gold took the "Rep"scalp 11 points to 0.

Varsity has suffered due to injuries 'and will feel the lose of Capt . Tupperwho is out, due to a bad ankle . Noble,long a mainstay of the serum, has astrained back and will not be seen i naction in this tussle. Morrie has notrecovered from a bad ankle.

CANADIAN RUGBY SYMPOSIU MIn place of editorial comm e nt we print in this iotsue statements

on both sides of the question of Canadian Rugby by people who ar equalified to express their opinion .

'4c Thgtu'ij Editor of the "Ubyssey . "Dear Madam :When thinking of elevating Can-

adian Rugby to a Major Sport i tthe would be well to consider the merits

of other clubs before they wer eelevated to this rank .

English rugby was the first sportIn the University and naturally whe nthe letter awards system came int oforce they were the first major sport ,The club has held its position throug hconsistently fielding good teams an dlast year they demonstrated thei rmerits when they held a worldfamed team the "Maoris" to 12 .8, thescore in the last half being 8 all, Thi syear's series with the Waratahs isproving that the calibre of EnglishRugby is us good here as any wherein the world .

Soccer was the second major sportand they were elevated to this post •lion after whining the Mainland Ca pnail the 11, C . championship . To wi nthis event meant playing real soccer ,It was an achievement of no smallmeasure, and the players deservedl yreceived the highest athletic rewar dour University gives,

Next comes our first Basketbal lteam. They were given well earned"big blocks" after losing the Canad-ian Championship by 2 points in 61 ,proving conclusively that Varsity hada first class basketball team .

Now let us consider "Canadia nRugby," in every other sport aplayer has at least throe years pre yIns experience before coming toVarsity and with this experience i tusually takes two years to make afirst team, In Canadian Rugby itappears that a green man, who ha snever seen a Canadian Rugby bal lbefore, can after two weeks practisemake his place on the first team .For this they want to be given th emost coveted award in the University .

As for the standard of the Canad-ian game here, it is much lower thanIn the Prairie Provinces . ThePrairie teams stand no show what-ever with the Eastern Universities ,and they in turn can not be com-pared with the Yankee teams to theMonth .V Moreover, there is no chance of th estandard being Improved as highschool teachers are not In favour ofthe Canadian game for their students ,and say that they will never changeto the new game .

In short, It would be an injusticeto every other Major Sport In theUniversity to bring Canadian Rugb yup to this level .

Yours sincerely ,BERT TUPPER .

Prof, H . T. Logan, at the request o fthe "Ubyssey," discussed the questio n"Should Canadian Rugby be it majorsport'," but he desired that this ex•pressfon of his opinions should In noway interfere with the principles o fstudent government ,

Pint, he dealt with the term "majorsport," and what it involves . Hepointed out that any game which i smade a major sport should be madeso purely for Its own merits, and notfor any external value which It ma ybe given. In short the inter st shoul dcome before the prestige . t~

This interest should be deep enoughthat the game would be popularwhether it involved big blocks or not .That is, the interest should Insure per-manency for some time to come. Thispermanency would involve the suppl yof new material as well as the demandto see the game . And perhaps it wouldbe better to let the game itself de •velop a supply of players, than tocreate this supply by an artificial de-mand such as by making a game amajor sport prematurely,

Thus the question of Canadian Ru g -by would rest to some extent on theMerest and permanency of the game.Mttoh depends on the calibre of theparticular team each year, It shouldbe equal to the best produced in ou rpart of the world.

These questions as pointed out b yProfessor Logan are some of th ethings to be discussed when the stetdents decide whether or not Canadia nRugby is to be made a major sport.

Miter, "Ubyssey . "Dear Madam :

It is not because I have no decidedviews upon the advisfblllty of mak •1IK Canadian Rugby a major sport ,that I hesitate to accept your invita-tion to express them In the column sof the "Ubyssey." It seems to methat this is simply a question for th estudent body to decide upon, andcertainly, not a question that present sany great difficulty, We are al learnestly seeking to promote withi nthe University, the quality of sportthat Inculcates the spirit of fair pla y

I and self sacrifice which moved th esoccer club to initiate this movement

e to raise Canadian Rugby to the statu sof a major sport .

Unlike most of the other Canadia nUniversities the climatic condition shere are such that football can h eplayed throughout the Universit ysession . Any and all brands of foot -bull that succeed in inducing mor emen to turn out for athletics hivemy fullest support ,

It le my personal opinion that an yminor sport that attracts a squat] ofplayers for practice five times pe rweek at 7.45 a .m, for a period ofnearly three years, and at the en dof this period can turn out a recordteam of twenty-three men In uniformfor an intermediate game, should b eraised to a major status .

The winners of the Lipton Cup thi syear were virtually inter-collegiat echampions of Western Canada. Ifthe students decide to make this gam ea major sport, then it is no strai nupon my imagination to look for-ward and see U.B.C. winning theIntercollegiate Championship of Can-ada from McGill, Queens or Toront oVarsity .

I am yours sincerely,G. M. SHRUM .

UNIVERSITY CLUBPLANS LECTURES

The University Women's Club o fVancouver are planning two Monda ylectures In order to raise their annua lallotment towards the Scholarshi pFund institutes by the Canadian Fed .oration of University Women's Clubs ,The first lecture on February 27th wil lbe given by Prof . Clark Prescot tBiesett, Dean of the Law School tint .vereity of Washington, on "Mussolini,"and the second on March 12th by Mr .Glenn Hughes on "Eugene O'Neil ,America's foremost Dramatist . " Mr.Hughes is himself a playwright an dProfessor of Dramatic Art In the Uni-versity of Washington. Both lectureswill be given in the Fairview Bap-tist Church at 8 :80 p.m. and thetickets are $1 .00 for both lectures orthey may be obtained separately .

Dr, Davidson, in an interview, umpressed his views about Canadian Rug•by on the question of making it amajor sport at this university ,

"The interest which Canadian Rug -by has aroused," he said, "both in th ecollege itself and in the athletic circle sof the city would argue for its bein gmade a major sport . As a Canadia nsport, too, the Interest and backin gwhich it has and will receive fro morganisations would justify this step, "

On the other hand it is questionabl ewhether Canadian Rugby will bo abl eto maintain its standing as a majo rsport. Dr. Davidson pointed out tha tit would be Impossible to play regula rintercollegiate matches under the ex •fsting conditions, The main objectio nis the geographic Isolation of BritishColumbia from other Canadian univer-sities, Thus the question is whethe ror not the inter-city league provide ssuitable opposition for a major sportat this University ,

Editor•in•Chiet, "Ubyssey. "Dear Madam :

I have been asked by your staff tocontribute to this issue a letter die-cussing the claims of Canadian Rugbyus a Major Sport of U .B,C.

While I do not think I have any -thing new to bring into this discus'lion, I might, perhaps, summaris ethe Canadian Rugby situation. Thecriteria generally used in judging a,sport are : (1) popularity with thestudents and the public ; (2) the suc-cess of the Varsity team in question ,and (8) the extent to which the Varsi-ty participants are In earnest an dwilling to work . It any sport standsan examination according to thes ethree standards, It deserves Majo rstanding.

Now, the Soccer Club, which issuggesting that Canadian Rugby b ea Major Sport, and the CanadianRugby Club with its many supporterscontend that according to the stand-ards named above, and, indeed, ac -cording to any others which might bereasonably suggested, Canadiab Rug •by deserves this recognition . And ,although i am the most prejudice dperson on the campus, I do not se ehow anyone can very well deny th esport this standing. I am leavin gU.B .C . this year, and, quite elncernly .I would not support any movemen twhich I believed to he prejudicial t othe welfare of my Alma Mater . I amtherefore, T hope, unselfish in m ymotive .' in this thing .

To consider, then, how

('anarlta nRugby approaches these Htan Iurdt, I tIt obvious In connection with thefirst, that In no sport on the campushas there been bettor support o rmore interest than In Canadian Rugb ytills year . This is true both amon gthe students and, thank you, In th ecolumns of your paper . Our studen tattendances were high, Increasing a sthe season progressed to the clima xof the Rough Rider series when seve nhundred students saw each of thetwo games .

The success ot the Club is also, ithink, unquestionable. Is there anyneed to comment on the Club' sachievements in British Columbi aand Western Canada circles .

As to the third criterion, CanadianRugby is, and has been since its be-ginnings, the hardest working spor ton the campus. It a sport has as on eof Its aims the physical training o fits players, the daily practices In thi ssport are worthy of consideration .

This is all about local conditions .There Is one thing else . U.B.C. is eli-gible for playoffs with the WesternCanada Intercollegiate Rugby Unionand with the other Unions affiliatedwith the National body, CanadianRugby is a Canadian University game .in the fall of the year It is the Can .adlnn University game. That in It -p elf Is mttfilcie p t .

Very sincerely yours ,MAX CAMERON ,

President Canadian Rugby Club .

Editor of the "Ubyssey . "Dear Madam :

At your request I am writing m yviews on Canadian Rugby as a majo rsport .

Of course I am not In favour of it .i am for English Rugby, as the onlymajor football in this university, firs tand last, and I hope that the follow-ing reasons will show that my senti •meats are not purely prejudice .

Our record for the past five year sshows that we are playing "real "rugby. First the All Blacks wit htheir miracle team, showed us wha trugby was . Then came the Maori s—a team beaten only throe times I nthi r ty gamer with all the internationa lclubs in the world . Here we showe dthat we had profited by the All Blac kle4HOn, and we premed to the rugb yworld that our standard is second t onano, Finally' the ',Varatabs hav ea44U1'ed Um that our teams In B . C .are equplly as strong as the major .Ity that they have played on thei rtour.

As a result of these great steps th eUniversity is at last going to sen da rugby team to distant parts of theworld . Next year a team is to besent to New Zealand and New SouthWales. Even in Japan rugby i splayed and only a month ago we re-ceived an invitation to send a teamthere with all expenses paid .

When this University sends a tea mto represent it in these countries i tmust be the beet . We will be in theeyes of all the world and we mus tprove ourselves to be equal to th ehonour. Two major rugbys in theUniversity will not permit this . Theobvious conclusion is that Canadianrugby must wait till It has proved It-self worthy of the highest awar dthat this University gives to sports .

I believe that Canadian rugb yexecutives and players have donewonders in lifting the game as the yhave, and that they have much creditcoining to them, but it is surely ob •vlous that Canadian Rugby as no wplayed is not a major sport .

Yours sincerely ,DON FARRIS .

Editor, "Ubyssey . "Dear Madam :

For several years a group of inter-ested energetic students of this uni-versity have been devoting time andenergy to the furthering of a reallyCanadian game—Canadian Rugby, Th etime has now come when their at.torte seem to have been rewarded .Canadian Rugby has become prob-ably the most popular game on th ecampus . It only remains to gran tthe sport ofilofal recognition as amajor sport—which Indeed it now 1 sIn everything but name .

Undoubtedly, there will be opposi-tion to any move in this direction, asthere always is to any progressiv emove . But there can be very littl efoundation for any such opposition ,even by the most conservative,--o rshall we say prejudiced,--among us ,After all, the real criterion by whicha major sport is chosen, is popular-ity among the student#dy. Caned-Ian Rugby has attrtgllted largercrowds in past games than an yother sport has done for years . Theattendance at the games with theRegina "Roughriders" was sufficien tto warrant the establishment of Can .adian Rugby as the first sport at ou runiversity, lot alone giving it a plac eof equality with Track, Basketbal land English Rugby .

Moreover, Canadian Rugby is agame devised by Canadians, for Can-adians and played by Canadian salone. it Is a truly national game .Can we, a university ot Canada ,ignore it ?

The majority of other universitie sof Canada have recognized it a stheir most important,—their bestsport. If we are to hope over tomeet our Western neighbors asequals in intercollegiate competition ,we must adopt ourselves to thei rlines of athletic endeavor . Atpresent, it we wish Canadian inter -collegiate competition, we mus tbring a team from the easternboundaries of Canada, and losehundreds of dollars by so doing. Byall means, let us choose a morecongenial, more popular, and les sexpensive medium for athletic com-petition with Canadian Universities ,

Even at the present time, afte rsome four years of existence, thestandard of playing ability at our col-lege, is as high es that of any of ou rother major sports. Our Big Fourteam is acknowledged the best i nB. C. and one of the three best i nWestern Canada. Does that appearto be the status of a minor sport ,

The recognition which the Canad-ian Rugby Club is seeking, is on ewhich they deserve and one whic hwill benefit our university's standin gamong Canadian Universities, Th egame has become tar too popular, tooimportant to be classified longer asa minor sport . In due fairness to theClub, to the players and to ourselves ,we must make Canadian Rugby amajor sport .

Yours sincerely ,STEWART REID.WM. M. CRAWFORD .HUGH GRANT .DAVID GRAY .W. MAYERS .WILLIAM MATHISON .

Long has our Cat. nourished an dflourished, long has It fed the worship-pers of the god of nutriment : that aw-ful deity that no often demands huma nsacrifice, But from across the cam-pun comes the beckoning lure of newerand fairer fields in which the seeker sof refreshments can browse . In thelast issue of the Ubyssey there ap-peared (Atli insidious, sneaking pro-paganda) with the calm complacenc eof an old establishment the startlingannouncement that the "Union Col-lege Dining Room Service" would sup -ply luncheons and dinner for muc hless than a dollar, in fact only the In -significant of thirty-five cents .

SCRIVENERS TO GETAWARDS

At a special session last week th ePublications Board in conclave de-cided to reward the hard-working den-None of the Pub . Office with a mark ofmerit,—a pin.

The exact form of this pin is atpresent unknown, but a specially ap-pointed committee is now at workchoosing a design . For the FeatureDepartment this iiln will probablytake the form of the Indian vs . Devi lRoad Race that appears above th eMuck Page every week . As an al-ternative there is the suggestion of adesign consisting of a copy of Colleg eHumor and a pair of scissors.

For the Pub . in general probably atypewriter would be the best emblem ,although many favor a fountain pen .Others contend that tile most. appro-priate symbol would be a mob-scen ewith a few torn I'byssey 's in thet'oregrotlnil . One cynic suk'.Kt seed tha ttl waste paper basket would do th epaper hi-lice .

As to the distribution oI thos eawards, the cut, reporters will re-ceive bronze pins and the assistan teditors and business department wil lget sllver emblems. Gold pins wil lbe the reward of the senior editor swhile the editor•in-chief will sport u nenamel badge. Finally, the Featur eDepartment will be prsented with ajewelled motif in a platinum setting .

Of course, it must be understoo das there is no representative of thethat these plans are only tentative an dMuck Department on the committeeIt is quite likely than an inferior sys-tem will be devised whereby the un-fortunate Feature writers will be givenmere gold pins .

Critic Lectures onMusic to Students

"Listening to Music" was thesubject chosen by Mr. R. Jamiesonof the "Province" for his music loc .ture on Friday afternoon . A specialfeature of the lecture was the Ortho•phonic, loaned by the J. W. KellyPiano Co., which was used to illus-trate the speaker's comments .

'In Opening Mr, Jamieson men-tioned that different kinds of musichave a different effect upon the emo-tion of the listener, After hearing amusical performance one shouldthink the matter over before oz.pressing an opinion. Many peopleare displeased with a musical con.oert because they tangy to sit wheremusic is being performed to hear it .Really to appreciate a selection, how-•ver, one must listen to it intently.Turther to emphasise his point, Mr ,Jamieson said, "Only halt the musicis created by the performer, th eother halt by the listener." Everycriticism on a musical performanceshould be respected, provided that I tis sincere, and that comparison andlist rtis*I cation have been used . "Pramfloe slope makes perfect in listeningaN well as in performing."

Mr . Jamieson said that ensemblesingles must be sun so one voice ;this members oI a choir should ai mit Obtaining this effect . The speake rthen. went on to say that it is only

en No come to the higher emo-Manai music that the strong differ-ence between shirt listeners becomesmanifest .

Toillustrate this point Mr.

stn bsofl had two selections playedpa the Orthophonc; the first was aass piece, which immediately pro-aced the effect that the speaker de-

aired ; the second was "Ave Maria„*high touched the devotional feeling

the audience. Mr, Jamieson re-arked that the Olt selection re-

quired no mentality to follow It, whilethe other aroused the desire to hearit again ; the one caused the heelsto stir, the other compelled attainLion.

Mr. Jamieson then discussedMaurice Rivera recital given re-cently in Vancouver. The speakersaid that no musician, however giftedshotld attempt to play his own works .]fir. Jamieson then caused severa ltttilOotions to be played on the Orthophonic ; Schubert's pieces played bythe Philadelphia Orchestra ; "TheUnfinished Symphony," and Chopin' s"Polynese in A sharp. "

In closing Mr. Jamieson urged Dr.Macdonald to develop this idea ofmusic lectures in the University.

STUDENT CHESS HOUNDSDRAW WITH PROFESSORS

Thursday evening saw a most san-guinary Chess Match staged at theUnion College between four membersof the Faculty and four staunch up•holders of the Chess Club's prestige .Dr" Shrum welcomed the gladiatorsfrom the Upper Common Room andhaving seen that his guests receiveda stimulating dinner, rallied his fel-low professors around him and ledthe way to the scene of battle . Dr.Shrum engaged to play Plant of th eClub, while Mr . Sayer and Rod . Pllk •ington rolled up their sleeves at an -other board Discoursing all the whileupon certain aspects of politica lscience, Mr . Angus agreed to attemp tto take Denis Carstairs into camp ,while ,1r, Preston Mellish and Grevlll oRowland drew swords In deadly earn-est at another table . Dr. Shrum' nthoughts began to stray upon subjectsrelating to fourthrdimension posslrbilities with the result that Plant leap-ed upon him, and succeeded in effect-ing his extinction. "Thumbs down,"was also the opinion of the gallerywhen Mr . Sayer's position was ex-amined . However, the professors weremore successful upon the other boards ,Mr. Angus gaining a strangle holdupon Carstairs, and Mellish gleefullystabbing Rowland through the hear tagain and again with well-thought-ou tmoves .

CorrespondenceThe Editor, "Ubyssey . "Dear Madam :

I would be much obliged it yo ushould see fit to allow me a smallspace in your correspondence colum nin order that I might point out avery evident reason why CanadianRugby should be promoted to amajor sport this year.

Apart from the fact that thisathletic activity has been immensel ypopular with the student body in th epast; season, it is worthy of atten-tion to note how keenly interestedthe players themselves have been .When a group of men, without pre'.iota experience, can turn out andtaco the discomforts of early morn .!fig practices with a grim determina-tion to make a real game out of aminor sport, then the rest of us ca ncertainly assure ourselves that thereis a fascination Influencing thesemen .

Fascinations are contagious and t oany of ws who are familiar with thesports of the east and middle.west,will home the realisation that th eCanadian Rugby germ has becom eextremely prevalent in those parts .And It is not confined to the players ,For example, when Toronto or Mc -Gill put their teams to field, everyavailable seat and standing space i nthe Stadium is filled and the whol ecollege is there. College spirit i snatural and not artificial or forced .My point Is briefly this : a majorsport which can interest, absorb,thrill the whole student body, is theone and only factor which can teete ra healthy, voluntary college spirit.Canadian Rugby has served thi spurpose in many of the collegesspread across the country. Give it achance here ,

Yours very trul yF. T. KEELING ,

Editor, "Ubyssey . "Dear Madam :

It is with some trepidation that Isupport and enlarge upon your editor-ial concerning the Leap Year Ball .

It Is becoming only too apparentthat such faith as we have had inthe commonsense of the the co-edswas misplaced, Above all things elsea university education should giveone an approximation to a true senseof values and it is when we realizetheir shortcomings, I am only goin gto refer to two things which I believeIllustrate the present state of warpe djudgments . In the first place ther eis the matter which you mentionedin your editorial, namely the 'before 'or 'after' parties . From careful ob-servation I have come to the con-clusion that the average student isable to bear comfortably only thoseexpenses directly connected with so.cial functions and the imposition (to rthat is what it amounts to) of extra smost unfairly taxes his resources .Now, here, was an opportunity fo rthe co-eds to show that these 'extras 'are entirely unnecessary (as theyreally are) to make a successful an denjoyable ball . To our dismay, how-ever, we find them not only subscrib-ing to the unnecessary and burden -some features but carrying them t oextreme lengths .

The second matter of import is th emanagement of the ball itself and oneexpected the co-eds to demonstrat etheir ability to avoid certain deleter-ious features which are creeping int oour social customs . I refer, 1Viadahn ,to the habit of arranging for (lance sprior to the ball . It should Ito eel -dent that the value of social coma slies chiefly in the opportunities theygive for social intercourse and th edevelopment of a larger circle o facquaintances . The present systemconsiderably reduces these opportun-ities for in the haste to fill the pro-grams the people best known arecalled upon " The co-gds have in thi sconnection once again gone far be-yond the questionable actions of themen for we find them preparing thei rprograms weeks previous to the eventno that the element of novelty or o fchance is reduced to minimum. Greatis the fear of competition in non -essentials .

Your truly ,All, WHITELY .

Arts Ruggers Snuff

Out Science Men

The first inter-faculty Canadian Rug •by game ended in 27.21 victory forArts last Saturday. The Science teamthough strong in the line, could no tcatch the flashy Arts backfield . Bur.ley, Odium and Camozzi bucked th eline for Science but their gains wer enot consistent, and were speedily car pcelled by long runs by the Arts backs.

The game was loose because of lackof practice and training, Fumbles werefrequent, and added interest to th eproceedings . However, some goodfootball was forthcoming, the contes tbeing featured by aggressive tacklingand individual play.

Wentworth started the scoring bymaking a touch-down after a seventy-yard run in the first five minutes .After that Arts had the best of theplay, the quarter ending 11-0 in thei rfavor.

The second quarter belonged t oScience who were able to check up tw otouchdowns, the half-time score being11.10 .

In the last half Arts scored thre etouchdowns, converting one, makingtheir score 27 points, Todd was res-ponsible for ten of these points ,Shields for five, Wentworth for fiveand Parker for five, this last comin gafter a beautiful sixty-yard run aroun dthe left end, Helmer made the loneconvert, and one deadline kick.

Science made two touchdowns afterconsistently gaining ground by buck.ing the frail Arts line . Burley crossedthe line twice, showing the boys ho wqueen's men use the straight arm .Odium also did some fine backing an dchalked up a touch-down for the Redand White. Cummings used his speedin scooping up two fumbles and load .ing the Art's defence for two touch.downs . Sandy Smith uncovered hisdrop-kick for a Science convert .

SUNNYSIDE TROUNCES

JUNIOR SOCCER MEN

On Saturday last, Varsity Junio rSooceritea lost a hard game to Sunny -side 2.0 . Varsity were outplayed formost of the game but splendid workby Fernlund and Mackenzie, save dthem from a bad beating . As it wasSunnyside scored once in each hal fand their clever forwards gave th eVarsity defender's a heavy aftornon ' swork .

Although Robson put in some goo dwork he nullified this by being fre-quently out of position . Fernlund ,playing with a badly injured knee ,turned in a glorious performance ,while Mackenzie, In an unusual posi-tion, played first class football .

Varsity were represented by Mc-Gregor Fernlund, Mackenzie, Sander-son, Robson Price, Wright, Wright ,Mitchell, McKellar England .

U.R.C. BEATS WEST-END

The feather game between B teamand West End, was played off Satur-day night, at the Drill Hall . Delayproved eventful for Varsity, as theywalked over their opponents 17-4 . Forthe nun, Shields, in spite of minor in -Juries front Rugby, played a grea tgame : and Kerlin, who had played fo rA 'leant In the afternoon, was stil lup In top form in st hacking the feath-er at eight, Jean beach deserve smuch credit, as this proved her bes tgame of the year.

Saturday did not prove itself a sfruitful for A team. Although theirgame with Kerrisdale in the after-noon almost resulted in a tie, the ywere finally forced down to a 18-1 1defeat .

Second Soccer Squad

Scores Another Draw

Varsity's second division soccerteam annexed another point by virtu eof a thrilling come-back in the sec-ond half on Saturday.

The boys were two goals down atthe finish of the first half althoughthey had a slight edge on the play asa whole. The forwards could notseem to take advantage of their op-portunities and several glorious chanc-es to score wore lost by poor finish-ing. The second half was exceeding-ly fast and productive of much bette rfootball . Varsity had a decided edgein this period and outscored Ceda rCottage 8.1 to tie the score, Mel .Gaudin scored the first for the Blueand Gold reducing Cedar Cottage' slead to one goal, Varsity's hopes weregiven a decided setback when theCottagers scored again‘ but Don Alla nbooted in a second goal for Varsityand our stock went up a few morepoints, After a great many excltngmoments Mel . Gaudin equalized thescore with only a minute to go ,

__._ .o•SOCIETY OF THOTH

When the scribes of Thoth met las tThursday noon, Scribe F. Underhillread an interesting paper on the sub•pot : "The Demerits of the Ubyssey, "

Mr. Underhill set out to criticise th ecollege paper, and to suggest wher eimprovements might be made . Mostof the reports on the front page weregood, be said, except that far to omuch space is allotted to write-ups angames, suggested that letters and eds-torlals should be more "concise, brief,and pithy . "

Once in a while there is a "gleam o flight" on the Muck-Page . On thewhole he thought that the matter, andmanner of statement of the "Ubyssey "could be greatly Improved,
