Starvation Dance Success
After emphatically declaring tha tmen should wear socks over thei rshoes at the Starvation Dance, "Hon-est R. J." Killam attended wearingthe hard-heeled size fourteen's thathe had declared would ruin the gym-nasium floor .
A co-ed dance was announced andit was noticed teat two young menwere dancing together while acrossthe floor were two young wome ndancing together.
A trio made up of "Honest R. J." ,Derwin Baird and the orchestra's so-loist favored the assembled multi-tudes with a song but even the so-loist wasn't very good .
At the end of the dance, everyon eshoes seemed to be pale yellow incolor due to the layer of corn-mea lthat was spread to protect the re-finished floor .
According to Jay Gould, in chargeof arrangements, the affair was quitea financial success . A clear profi tof $25 was made to fill the ever -swelling coffers of the A.M .S .

reported for medical examina-tions, ascerding to Mrs. C. A .Lucas of the University Healt hService, and these students ar erequested to watch the ArtsLetter Rack for communica-tions.

Harry Bigsby and his Fresh Air or-chestra opened the Follies Freshair eThursday noon with a spirited rendi-tion of "Lulu's Back in Town" . Theceremonies were mastered by War dAllen, complete in green hat and fin-ger nails .
Cleopatra, Hamlet, Romeo and Ju-liet, Shylock nerd a few other o fShakespeare's letter known charac-ters appeared in "Shakespearea nHash," starring the winsome PeggyThompson as Cleopatro—who reallydidn't get bitten by a snake but die dat the hands of Hamlet—who resur-rected himself to kill her with apaper-knife.
"Hamlet, Hamlet," shouted Cleo . ,"who shall I marry, you or Romeo? "
"How about Gerry McGeer," shout-ed a scienceman .
Wally Peters was popular with th ecrowd as he presented two banjo sel-ections . He was about the only per-son on the program who didn't comaface to face with stray apple cores .
The orchestra, playing between theother items, made a hit at its firstpublic appearance. Some of thei rnumbers were "Cheek to Cheek, ""Footloose and Fancy-Free," "BugleCall Rag" and "Redheads on Parade"
Impromptu DanceThe bugle cull number inspired a
couple of back-stage assistants t odance violently across the stage. Thecrowd didn't seem to appreciate theirefforts, however .
Norman Depoe, Arts Pep Leader,told the Ubyssey that Bigsby' and hisband were going to be known in th efuture as the Arts Band .

A Cockney comedy-drama, "It's th ePoor Wot 'Elps the Poor," by HaroldChapin, will have a cast of thirteen .
"The Mask," by F . Tennyson Jesse,is a thrilling melodrama . This playleads to a dramatic climax .
The fourth play is a light comedy ,"Villa For Sale," by Sacha Guitry .The play presents some excellentcharacterizations, one of the Frenchauthor's idea of a typical American.
Mr. Larsen briefly outlined the his-tory of the Players Club, mentioningthat it was the oldest amateur drama -tic society In British Columbia .
"Our record of triumphs is some-thing to be proud of," he said, "andit is our duty to keep up to our highstandard of the past. We must re-member that a Players Club successis a University success, and work forthe club loyally"

The fan dancers may have bee nartistically competent, but architect-urally they were a failure .

The big sisters took charge of thei r"children" by spoon-feeding them,tucking in na?kins and seeing to i tthat they ate their vegetables.
Balloons and nursery pictures add-ed to the effect of carefree youthful-ness . Large pictures of strange cre-tures were plainly labelled "pig" ,"cat," etc .

Traditional AtmosphereToronto's campus, ancient and dis-

The university is div-ided into colleges : men's lodgings arein the celebrated Hart House, whic hincorporates our gymnasium, cafe-teria, and auditorium—together witha swimming pool.

Reaction extends evento the Arts Library, where men andwomen students are segregated . "Thisis also a bad things," Mr. Allenopined, "because I have spent manypleasant hours with women in librar-les."
Initiation Not DeadFreshman initiation and spirited
inter-faculty rivalry are still extant ,however . The university is situatedin the city, and the citizenry adopt apolicy of tolerance and silent suffer-ing, with an added mild amusement.

BEFORE a crowded Alma Mater Society meeting on Wednes-

of the Student's Council outlined the policy for their term of
office. After the Treasurer's Report, as printed in the Ubyssey ,
was adopted, the clauses of the policy were read out and adopt-
ed in order. The Honor System is to be continued and gam-

BALLROOM CROWDED
Thursday night was chosen as th efavorite evening for terpsichorean en-deavors, the major functions to beheld in hotels and the minor ones inless attractive surroundings. Finan-ceing on the campus will be conser-vatively done but all clubs will geta fair share of the money in the fallbudgets. With regard to the Ubysseya strong effort will be made to getincreased advertising and also to brin ghome to the students the necessity ofsupporting the Ubyssey advertisers.The Totem will again be publishe dif student support is forthcoming.Also special attention is to be givento antra-mural sport.
Co-op. ReportDepoe, as chairman of a committee
to enquire into the feasibility of or-ganizing co-operative clubs on thecampus, presented the results of thecommittee's investigations. The re-port was adopted with the suggestionthat a further research be Mitigatedinto the possibilities of the clubs an dthe results presented at the next AlmaMater meeting.
The remaining time was devoted toa spirited discussion concerning th econtemplated one-and-a-half h o u rnoontime period . One faction con -tended that if Wednesday were en-croached upon in the remaking o fthe time-table it would inconveniencethe rugby teams and that the ideamight well be given up. Gould ofCouncil, in a terse speech, stated thatthis ground had been covered lastyear and that it was unfair to putCouncil on the spot by going back onprevious decisions. In defence of theplan he stated that the recess wouldhelp to arouse college spirit. Theminority, he said, would make somesacrifices, but the majority would rea pthe benefits . His argument, deliveredwith obvious feeling, drew prolonge dapplause. However, a motion waspassed to the effect that it be sug-gested to the Senate that the Wednes-day afternoon be left unchanged ifpossible.
Agenda PublishedNext, Alan Morley moved that the
agenda of the policy and business ofthe Student's Council be publishedimmediately beforehand in the Ubys-sey in order to give the students achance to mull the ideas over.
A touch of humor entered the pro-ceedings when one member of th eAlma Meter Society, wanting assur-once of an efficient committee on theenquiry into the co-operative clubs,found himself quickly appointed tothat committee by Brynelson. Follow-ing this, the meeting adjourned .

The parade was peaceful and rel-atively uninteresting—far less inter-esting than the vigorous snake par-ade held last week—but of muchgreater import as far as the freshmenwere concerned .
Placards were unpinned, gob-hatsdisappeared mysteriously, many fin-gernails were immediately cleansedof all traces of green polish . Andfrom that time until the dance wasover at 1 o'clock, freshmen mingledwith students of other classes unob-trusively, with no striking signs ofidentification .
The Embassy ballroom was packedto capacity, with a crowd estimate dat more than one thousand in attend-ance.

VOCATIONAL GUIDANC E
Editor, Ubys. ey ,Campus ,Dear Sir :
I take this opportunity of callin gto the attention of the Undergraduat ebody a series of outstanding weeklylectures which will commence prob-ably on Wednesday, Oct. 16, at 12:15p .m. in Arts 100 .
Although these lectures are titledas "Vocational Guidance," actuallythey are much broader than theirtitle would indicate . The speakerswill be prominent citizens of BritishColumbia, in most cases large em-ployers of the University type ofmen and women. Each speaker wil ltalk on his or her particular busi-ness or profession, from the genera lviewpoint ant also with particula rreference to the opportunity afforde din that career for U .B .C. students ,
Nothing can he more interestin gand instructive than a successful, a"big" man, in the slang sense of tha tadjective, speaking about his lifework .
The University is indebted to th eAlumni for the organizing of thes electures, parti :ularly to Mr . T. Berto ,who has gone to endless trouble i narranging for the most eminent me nin B .C. to tell the University studentsabout the various B .C. industries an dprofessions .
At certain lectures last year th eundergraduates showed great dis-courtesy in two respects : while aprominent citizen was addressingthem a number of students would beblandly eating lunches from pape rbags; and at each lecture there werenumberless pec:ile who with muc hdoor slamming and general commo-tion would arrive late . Surely atthe Vocational Guidance lectures thi syear there will be no repetition o fsuch ill breeding .
It is of great importance that ther ebe a good crowd in Arts 100 for thes electures, because the impressionwhich the University makes on th espeaker depends mostly on the be-haviour and rice of the audience . Tobring out to the campus a prominen tman who has little time to spare, andthen confront him with a mere hand-ful of students, embarrasses the goodname of the L!,iversity in that man'seyes . He will remember it whenU .B .C. graduates apply to him for a nopening in his business .
The broad interest of the Vocationa lGuidance lectures lies in the fact tha tit is always worthwhile to hear aman who has risen to the top of hisprofession tell us about it .
Yours sincerely,JOHN R GOULD .
President, L .S .E .
Editor, Ubyssey,Dear S:r :
This letter is in the nature of aprotest against the articles on th e
Sports Page of lest Friday's "Ubys-
sey" concerning American Football .
I hardly think more unsporting thingscould have be: n written about thegame and the U.B .C. team generally.
While this new campus sport may no thave been very successful, neverthe-
less I feel that it was extremely poor
taste to adopt the attitude of "kickin ga man when down," rather than one
of "Too bad old chap, better luck
next time," as has so obviously beendone iay your sports writers. If thi s
is your idea of humor, I'm afraid i t
was not appreciated on the campu s
for the "bitterness of defeat" is mor e
than a catch phrase, and in this cas e
would be deeply enough felt withou t"rubbing it in ."
You may not realize it but the big
percentage of the fellows playing
American Football at this university 'are freshmen. Picture for yoursel fthe fine type of encouragement tha thas been given them after their firstgame by "Cheap Dirt Dirt Cheap" .What do you think their attitude wil lbe to Varsity sport, hereafter ?
While this is purely a personal let -ter I know I have the support notonly of the English Rugby Club, bu talso of ail other athletic organizationson the campus, A written apologyto the lads playing the American Foot -ball game, would, I think, in som emeasure redeem the authors andshow Is all that they have an apprec-iation of "playing the game . "
Yours sincerely,H. B. PEARSON ,
Captain, Senior English Rugby.

THROWING AWAY GOODWILL
The proceedings of Wednesday's Alm aMater meeting were disappointing, to put it
mildly . Students' Council managed to con-vince the meeting that the Recommendation o fthe revised timetable leaving free Wednesday
afternoons was a waste of time . And then, the
Recommendation being `before the house', i t
was, unbelievably, affirmed. Unless we ex-
cuse the house of stupidity, we can only sup -pose it was thoroughly confused, and we were
witnessing a neat bit of political manoeuvering.Since the new timetable had already
been mapped out, the purpose for which theRecommendation was designed was not further-
ed one scrap . The only effect of the move has
been one of mischief .The Faculty members who have laboured
at our request over the new timetable have
used Wednesday afternoon as a theoretical sub-stitute worktime with which to appease op-
ponents of the change. In fact, however, the y
have managed to work out a timetable that in a
vast majority of cases leaves Wednesday after-
noon free. They have managed, while leavin g
the lecture periods intact, and cutting off onlytag ends of labs., to arrange such occasionallabs. as did fall on Wednesday afternoon in away that left the occasional athlete involve dample time for his pursuits. All this without ex -tending any class past six o 'clock. Now wha tare our Faculty friends going to say, since w efoisted this embarrassment on them ?
Had the new timetable been explained tothe meeting Wednesday, doubtless the foolishRecommendation would never have been sug-gested . But a few selfish athletic students, fear-ful lest their own sport suffer any inconven-ience, and acting against the pleas of their per-sonal Council representative, would not accep tCouncil endorsement, and created a mischie fthat may well react unfavorably to the athlete sthemselves—to say nothing of the whole stud -
ent body .Fortunately the timetable had been passe d
by Faculty before the Recommendation, so tha tany ill will it may create can only react on late rissues .
And if we wish student government to en-joy the prestige which some members of Fac-ulty have themselves helped to build, for good-ness' sake let us never again show such vascil-lation of judgment which the Recommendationtoo clearly reveals .
GARBAGE THROWERS
When paper-throwing reaches the point i tdid yesterday at the "Folies Freshaires, " wefeel it quite time to comment with vigour o nthe abominable display of bad manners whic his apparently an integral part of student con -duct at all large gatherings on the Campus .
Students attending the University are sup -posed to come from homes where at least amodicum of training in the common attributesof gentlemanliness is a part of their youthfu llives. Unfortunately, from the display yester-day, we cannot help wondering whether the av-erage University student is not merely an abys -
HAIR TONIC DEPT.So called because it's intended to raise hair .The story is not original, it is . supposed
really to have happened, and if you've rea d"While Rome Burns," skip it .
An American who had a burning interest i nghosts happened to be in London, where hemet an Eiglshman with a similar interest . TheEnglishman owned a country house with whic hthe idea of ghosts was traditionally associated ,and invited the American to spend a week-en dthere with him .
The American arrived one Saturday after -noon to find his host would not be back tilllate that night, but it seemed a nice householdand he settled down to enjoy himself.
The house was huge and rambling. Thehousehold consisted of a cook, a parlour maid ,and a gardener, John Scripture ; and betwee nspells of mania, John Scripture 's father, wh ohelped in the garden ,
There were no electric lights, and after acomfortable dinner our American retired tohis great room with a candle to read . It wasbright moonlight and the candle seemed toodim to read by, so he blew it out to encouragecontemplation, and accidentally fell asleep .
He awoke some time later and the squareof moonlight flattened against the floor an dup the wall beside the door caught his eye .Against it, but out of the actual light, a figurewas silhouetted .
The head was bent in concentration onsomething held under the left elbow, while theright hand moved rhythmically, recalling t oour American the motions of embroidery . Dip,slightly strained pull, free semi circle .
He began to think of exits to the room, sud-denly remembered the bathroom had anotherdoor, and with fugitive speed he was throughit and into the hallway .
Just then he heard the car pull up on thegravel, and slowing into a casual saunter, al-ready feeling sheepish he met his host at thedoor .
Saying nothing of what he had seen, heaccompanied his host to the kitchen, wherethey lit a candle to prepare a snack .
Foraging in a dim corner of the kitchen th ehost stumbled over something, muttering male-dictions .
"I must check the cook for leaving thing slying about the floor here, " he said, as he car-ried the candle back to see what he had trippe dover. He lowered the candle and gasped .
It was the cook, at least it was the coo kfrom the neck down. The head didn't seem t obe anywhere around .
With a dawning horror of realization th eAmerican grasped his arm, and the two stealth-ily crept to the American's open doorway .
There, against the flat square of moonlight ,sat Old Scripture, tucked loveingly under hi slett arm, in the fashion of a mandolin, wa sthe cook's head, while with fascinated concen-tration the fingers of his right hand pluckedwhite hair by hair from the head .

USELESS INFORMATION
An expression recurring in Hal Straight'sSun Sports had me baffled this summer : "An-nie Oakleys for the ball game, "
I was going to write and find out about it ,but the detective in me got the upper hand ,so with a
"Quick, Watson, the encyclopedia, and tak ea note on your cuff, " I went into the problem .
First step was an hypothesis, the contex tseemed to indicate it meant a pass. Then en-quiry showed that anyone interested in affair sof the 1890's knew she was with Buffalo Bill'sWild West Show .
Tracking the rumour down, and corneringit, I found she was a crack shot . Yesterday Itook a flyswatter and scotched it .
Annie Oakley was the greatest shot, ma nor woman, of all time. She could punch a cardwith a bullet at a long distance .

You'll see all about Annie Oakley in themovies pretty soon .

CCorrespondence )CRITICIZES EDITORIAL
Editor, "The Ubyssey, "
Dear Sir:
In your editorial of Friday, Octo-
ber 4th, dealing with the Snake Par-
ade, you make a very serious charge
against the conduct of the Vancouver
Police and the public authorities,
You state that, during the recent Re -
lief Camp "Strike", when unemployed
paraders entered a department stor e
(the Hudson ' s Bay Co.), the police"approached the .column of men ,
biffed the end two on the head witha handy gadget designed for such seravice. . . . Then the next two in linereceived similar attention. At thispoint the gathering, acting on a veryunderstandable impulse of self preser -vation, broke ranks and started a gen -eral melee . "
You go on to state that this is an"eye witness account" and not "anyreport printed in the papers."
As the matter under ,discussion hasbeen thoroughly investigated and evi-dence given in the courts of law, yourstatement is very serious. Your read-era are entitled to know the name ofyour witness and any evidence of hisreliability you may possess, so thatthey can form an opinion as to hiscompetency and good faith . Other -wise the "Ubyssey" and its editorialstaff are open to an accusation ofmaking a deliberately misleadingstatement.
Yours truly,ARTSMAN,
(Ed. note—The eye-witness acceount
was retailed to a reliable member of
the staff by an employee of the store,
known personally to ourselves. Weaccepted this account as more likel y
to be truthful than newspaper ac-
counts, on humanistic grounds, as we
said at the time. In such an event
the editorial was not presented as a
"charge" against Pollee conduct, whic h
Is of the political sphere. We with -
hold the name of the employee as `vehave no desire to involve her unwill-
ingly In anything .)

Ralph Killam"I deeply rein et the abysmal lac k
of co-operation and intelligence instudent affairs shown by the stu-dents at this University," This quo-tation is not from any well knownmember of the English faculty, bu tfrom R. J. Killam, Junior Member onour Students' Council !
Killam is the reporter's idea of theperfect interview, he'll talks loud an dlong on any snhject that is broughtup, in fact he'll go further and bringup a lot of things the reporter wouldhave forgotten. He was in no moodto be irterviewed just after the Al -ma Meter Meeting on Wednesday,being slightly iritated with peopl ewho put Council on the spot .
"The students around here are abunch of sheep," he added, "th etrouble is that they won't admit tha tthey are—they like to fool themselvesinto thinking that it's the other fel-
low who has no initiative . "
Asked for his opinion on the co-eds of the campus, our Junior Mem-ber would not commit himself . "Thisis a question," he said, "that,is easie rto consider in individual cases. Butyou can menton that my heart andsoul is in the Women's Union Build-ing project
. "
Ralph Killeen was born in Vancou-ver, but spent a good part of hi searly life in Eastern Canada . Suchplaces as Inverness on Cape BretonIsland, Yarmouth, Montreal, and Hal-
ifax were the temporary homes ofthe Killam family. Coming back tothe coast, Ralph attended high schoo lat Prince of Wales, and then cameto the university .
Killam is taking an Arts and Corn-merce course, v: ith a view to "goingin at the bottom of a big businessand working up .' He says he hasthe "big business" already picked out .
In addition to his other persona lqualities, Ral .;'h has rather a sweetvoice . At the Tea Dance Wednesdayhe surprised the assembled multitude sby singing the lyrics of "Love inBloom . "
A few Killam facts : queer buttonhole flowers amuse him . . thinks th eUnited Church of. Canada is dabblin gin politics too much . . . smokes afair cigar . . . belongs to the RowingClub and the International RelationsClub . . . also plays squash and gol f. . . has very little faith in newspape rmen , . thinks the Ubyssey shoul dprint less 'dro d' about Council blow-
ing smoke rings . . . is a smart dress-
er, but doesnt like that broadcaste d
. . . would like to emphasize agai n
that the studeots here are a buch o f
sheep .
Don MacDonald versatile Sport s
Editor in 1934-35 left Wednesday for
Australia . Working his way on a
tramp simmer, the erstwhile edito r
is out to see the world. Despite the
fact that he is a prominent Commerce
Grad Don prefers roaming to th emore settled commercial world .

Romance on a windowsill! Th e

son Maclntosh and Bill Braidwood
perched on the windowsill . . . and
chatted.
There seems to be no doubt about
it—the birds of a feather stick to-

KEEPING UP THE OLD BLUFF
Premier Bennett said last night in Cornwall that he is going towin 10 or 11 seats in British Columbia .
Haile Selassie says that at any moment now he will drive the Ita-lians back to Rome.
Recently Mr. Max Baer said that he would murder Mr . Louis, th ecolored fighter.
Mr . Benett is basing his hopes of victory upon British Columbi agiving him 11 seats . That is not at all what British Columbia is goingto give him .
If the Tory hopes are based on such prognostications, Vancouvervoters know how much to rely on them.
Mr . Bennett has fought a splendid fight, and it is not the fault o fhis heart and his courage that it is a losing fight .
Canada recognizes his immense efforts, and it is going to rewar dhim next Monday by giving him a long rest from office . Mr. Bennetthas earned his night's repose . So has Canada .

Although it may be a bit early toforecast the strength of any of ournext year's teams, we can't help di-vulging our fond nopes for Basket -ball . It was suit a blow to us whe nthe news came ui this summer of thewholesame migration of hoop talen tto Trail, but it is indeed cheerful t o
realize that, in spite of the fact tha tthe incomparable "Bugs" Bardsley islost to us forever more, Art Will-oughby and Ralph Henderson will re -turn to their Aima Mammy next fall .
To add to the cheerful note for thefuture comes the news that RannMatthison of the Royal City will alsobe back. Rann was a member of thefamous Varsity Bardsley-Matthison -Wright combination of a few years
ago, but lately I.e has been starring
for the Adanacs .
It will be rather difficult for otherInter-City teams next years to matc h
the forward line composed of these
three men. Willoughby was admit-tedly one of the best point-getters inthe league lost year, and although
both he and Henderson played foot -
ball until Christmas they were wel l
up in the scoring column. Matthison
was fifth in Individual scoring hon-
ours.Who and hew good the remaining
members of the team will be is asyet not very clear. It remains for
this season to develop a few potentia l
stars from the crop of so far un-known value, who will be able tohandle the guard positions, and toprovide good relief for the regulars.

The aims and objects of this Spor tpage are often mistaken by persons
slightly over-enthusiastic of their ownimportance in this little "world of
our own" at Point Grey . For the
benefit of these persons in particularand of anyone else who might b einterested we will proceed to give a
general outline of them .The Ubyssey as a whole has o f
course as one of its purposes thetraining of such students as might beinterested in newspaper work either
as a profession or as a hobby. Asfar as the Sport page at least is con-cerned, these ve . iters attempt to pre -sent facts to the student body in a n
interesting and attractive form . The
students have a right to the truth ,and they are going to get it .
We want nothing that smacks of a
"cow college ." We want no undu epraise for any of our teams ; and we
want no undue excuses for any o f
our teams.The general editorial policy of th e
page can be summed in a few words .The Sport Department will aways
strive for the riddance of Universit yAthletics to the greatest advantag eof the students and of the Universit y
as a whole .
If our platitudinous critics hav eanything constructive to offer alongthese lines by all means let them doso .

Taking this as an indication o f
strength, Varsity should win handily ,
but the Brits tray be depended on

from the Frosir Smoker, will fill asecond row serum position . Bird i sthe safety man far the game, playingfull back . Leggat, Roberts, Mercer ,and Stokvis arc the three-quarte r

Possibly the most interesting ath-
letic history, and undoubtedly one of
which we may well be proud, is tha t
of the University English Rugby
Club . This Club has held the colleg-
iate world championship for several
years, and has always been at ornear the top cf local leagues .
University Rugby sprang into fame
in the year 1929, when a team defeat-
ed the famou,. Stanford Universit y
Olympic Champions for the Worl d
Cup, emblematic of international col -
legiate supremacy. The followingyear U.B .C. entered the provincia lchampionships, competing with Van-couver Rep., Victoria, and NanaimoHornets for the traditional McKech-nie Cup. To the astonishment of th eBritish Columbia's rugby public th estudents won the championship . Forfour years U.B.C. was successful i ndefending the trophy until the year
1925 when Vancouver won .
Varsity "Miracle Men"
In 1928.27 Varsity developed one o fthe most spectacular teams ever see nin B.C. Starting out the year poorly
the boys developed into what cam eto be known as the "Miracle Men . "This team won every major troph y
possible . They regained the WorldCup by defeating the Stanford Olym-pic squad. After a heated struggl ewith Vancouver Rep. they won theMcKechnie Cur . And later to cap thewhole season U.B.C . held the world-famous New Zealand Maoris to ascore of 12-6.
During the years 1927-28 and 1928-29, Varsity's team suffered heavil ythrough graduation of many of theold stand-bys. However the teamwas not altogether unsuccessful. In
SweepstakesFor Glofers
This year Golf sweepstakes will beheld in which members of the Var-sity Golf Club and members of th efaculty will p.rt ;cipate . The honor-ary president of the club will beProf . Knapp while the elected pres-ident is Ted Chatlton, the well knownmember of tilt B . C. Willingdon Cupteam.

from Carey, the scrum-half . Pushis supplied by the husky men, Harri-son, Mitchell and Housser in thefront row, Porter and Senkler in th esecond row, with Maguire, Pyle an dPearson in oehind them .
The third team is also playing . Th egame is at Oak Park at 3 p .m. Theteam — Harrison, Burton, Robertson ,Knox, Petapieee, Wood, Rennie ,Campbell, P. Griffin, Wilson, Cun-ningham, Trussel, Walsh, Smith ,Whitelaw .
both years they came second in thefight for the provincial champion -ships .
1929-30 Successful Year
During the season 1929 .30 another
outstanding team was developed . Thesquad got off to a bad start in th efall but finished the rugby year wit h
a bang. The team by virtue of abrilliant offense and an iron defens ewon the Tisdall Cup, emblematic ofthe cluk championship of the city ,the mainland club championship, an dthe Rounsfell Cup, a trophy donatedfor the club championship of theprovince .
In 1930-31 the U.B.C. team won theMiller Cup but fell before Vancou-ver Rep, in the McKechnie series .Next season Varsity finished well upin the McKechnie Cup game but losttwo games to Victoria Rep .
Stanford Holds World Cu p
In 1932-33 a combined Stanford -California team took the World Cu pin a Christmas Day game in Vancou-ver 10-8 . Since that time there ha sbeen no further competition for th etrophy. They also won a leagueknockout series that year.
The record of the rugby team lastyear needs no refreshing in the mind sof the present students. They onceagain failed to capture the McKech-nie Cup, but the Miller Trophy, em-blematic of the Vancouver Citychampionship now reposes in ou rcupboard .
A large share of the credit for Var-sity 's rugger success has always bee ndue to the coaching—previously o fJack Ttywhitt, and now of CaptainDobbie .
2nd Div.Rugby To Play
On Saturday a rejuvenated Secon dDivision English Rugby team willface the Rowing Club on Douglas
Park West at 2 :30 . The line-up,which follows, promises to uphold th ereputation built up by the senior

No Definite Arrangements Yet
The rumoured intercollegiate series of Canadian football
games is very much "in the air" at present and probably will
not take place at all this season, according to Prof. G. M. Shrum.
No word regarding this project, either for or against, has yet
been received from the eastern men concerned .
It is hoped, however, that one or two games may be ar-
ranged this year, with a more complete schedule to follow nex t
year. Improved economic conditions on the prairies make thi s
all. the more feasible. Dr. Shrum believes that the British Co-
lumbia team would have a good chance to come out on top or
near it, judging by past performances when Varsity teams have
gone in and beaten much heavier and classier Canadian teams .
He says that the boys "always seem to fight harder and to pla y
away over their heads when playing against other Canadian col-
leges." Such a series might also reclaim lost talent such as Joe
Roberts, Bob Twiss, and Ed Senkler .
Dr. Shrum pointed out that these games should be regarded
as only a supplement to the American Junior Conference games .
"Canadian football was tried here for nine years without getting
any farther than local club competition before the other brand
of the game was taken up." He believes that this is probabl y
the last year the prairie colleges will play Canadian football and
that they will be changing to the Americacn game soon.
Change to Canadian Easier
Head Coach Ivor Moe asserts that it is much easier t o
change a team from American football to Canadian football than
vice versa, especially when the American players have al l
played Canadian before .
Although John Harrison, president of men's athletics, has
written to Ellensburg Normal requesting the cancellation of the
conference fixture scheduled for October 19, if Ellensburg
agrees to the change, Varsity will most likely play V .A.C. on
that date .
