THURLEY REFUSED PROMOTION

£1 800 for Famine ReliefProfits down on last year

Nearly £1800 has been collected during Famine Relief Week this year.Conducted by students from both Trinity and UCD, the six-day cam-paign was highly successful, even though returns fell short of last year’stotal.

The thirty-five volunteers whowent on 48-hour fasts at O’ConnellStreet and St. Stephen’s Greencollected more than £700 for thefund. Flag days, conducted onThursday and Friday of last weekreturned less than had been expect-ed. In addition, raffles, portraitsand shoe shining at front gate anda Buttery dance made up thebalance of the total.

Excluding flag sellers, about six-ty students worked on the fund.Geoffrey Stone, chairman of thecommittee said, "I was very pleasedwith the way everyone co-operatedin making Famine Relief Week asuccess. It is impossible to allowthe credit to rest on any one per-son’s shoulders; without this co-operation we never could haveachieved anything near £1,800."

Students may voicepublic protest

By THE NEWS EDITOR

Geoffrey Thurley has been denied the customary promotion after histhree years as a Junior Lecturer in the English School.

The University was, apparently, dissatisfied with his lecturing cap-abilities and with his research studies. He may however he asked toremain for another year as a Junior Leeturer at the end of which thedecision may be revised.

No juke-box forButtery-says SRC

At an S.R.C. meeting on Mon-

day a motion proposing the install-ation of a Juke Box in the Butterywas defeated by a single vote.

There was an allegation of bias onthe part of the proposer BeyVaughan, who’s Sunday night lifeinvolves spinning discs.

Someone suggested dancing dur-ing off-feeding hours, and anotherasked if one would be able to buysilence. It was agreed that Fortessatisfied the majority, and afterbitter protests concerning the alleg-ed mishandling of the vote, themotion was declared defeated.

Macmillan talks to

The news has had a very greateffect on Mr. Thurley’s studentsin the Sophister Honors EnglishSchool. The general feeling wouldseem to be that Mr. Thurley isin fact one of the better lecturersin the English School and manyof the students find it difficult toaccept the decision at its facevalue.

Last Monday a meeting was heldin Player’s Theatre to see if theSophister students were prepared,as a body, to register some form ofprotest. A move to submit a letteraccompanied by a petition to theUniversity Council received insuffi-cient support.

There was some mention earlierthis week of a boycott of all Eng-lish lectures, but this move wasalso discarded as it was felt thatit would serve no constructive pur-pose in the situation.

Geoffrey Thurley himself hasremained aloof from all this lobby-ing on his behalf. It is uncertainwhether or not he intends to re-main on in Trinity.

The students seem to be divided

1964 CommitteeMaurice Macmillan, M.P. talk-

ed to the 1964 Committee lastTuesday.

Son of the Tory Prime Minister,his image, speech and thought werehis fathers. The same calculatedvagueness, "Good gracious I’m notqmte sure what our policy is onAden". The scheming ignorance,"we borrow short and lend long--I don’t know if I’ve quite got thatthe right way round".

His dynamic views were insin-uated into a large audience. Hesaid England could be proud, thatEngland was rich. He said that theaccountants were at fault, and sowas Parliament. Action, he said,was taken first, and then the cost;never was action pre-costed.

Witty, with much to say, and thefacts with which to say it, he wasthe best Parliamentarian the 1964Committee have had.

amongst themselves on the questionof whether they should voice apublic protest. But they are allunited in agreeing that Mr. Thur-ley is an excellent lecturer. How-ever a meeting is being held to-morrow at which it will be decidedwhich comse they will finallyfollow.

Societies

SRC with

teeth"Trinity had a Union for a year

and a half but it was a completefailure. Nobody joined it." Thissurprising piece of information wassupplied by Jeremy Lucas at lastSaturday’s meeting of the Lauren-tian. The motion being debatedwas that "Trinity needs a Union".

Michael Adams, President of theSRC, who proposed the motion,felt that the considerable waste ofspace and money by societies inCollege could be substantially re-duced. All the administrative dut-ies of these societies would be takenover by a full-time professionalstaff, answerable for everything toa student e~ecutive. "At presenttoo many students are unwilling tostand for offices in societies inCollege because of the time-absorb-ing administrative duties involved."

Adams wished to see the scopeof the Standing Committee widen-ed and a more powerful studentvoice. Whether or not thesechanges would necessitate the sett-ing up of a Union was uncertain.

Jeremy Lucas felt that a Uniongave too much power to too fewpeople. He believed that Trinitygained a lot through its varietyand wide distribution of responsi-b.ility: He was also afraid of thepower politics which would be theinevitable result of the yearly cam-paigning for Union President. "Theman with the most money" wouldput up the most posters."

Willie Maxwell attacked theMajor Societies for using a formof bribery to attract members. Hefelt that we could solve our difficul-ties without the introduction of aUnion.

Surrealism atthe Phil

A Dada "happening" interrupt-ed David Roche’s paper on surreal-ism in the Phil. last Thursday.Two students emerged from theaudience and dragged the speakeraway. A sub-committee was im-mediately set up to bring himback, but after a scuffle at the doorthe speaker returned by himself.In the best Dada tradition the ab-ductors insisted on keeping theirnames to a cryptic "I’m Gray, he’sBarra".

This rather self-conscious event,like the paper brought little reac-tion from the audience. ForRoche’s long and detailed surveyof surrealism had soon left most ofthe audience far behind. Read inRoche’s absence by Mr. Saldanha,it traced the roots of surrealismback to medieval art and Blakespainting. It analysed its pro-run-ner, Dada, and expounded the posi-tion of the surrealist and his in-tellectual system.

In a charming vote of thanksJean-Paul Pittion uncovered thelargely uncovered field of surrealis-tic literature. The other distin-guished visitor, James White,Director of the National Gallery"I wanted to relieve myself",attempted a bit of surrealism him-self. His less intellectl:al speechwas more to the taste of theaudience.

ThurleyThe last few days have witnessed heated discussions as to whether

students in the English school should boycott lectures as a protestagainst the College’s decision not to promote Thurley.

The relative virtues of the various methods of protest are opento debate. What is important is that there is a healthy awarenessamong students of the implications of such a decision, in contrastto the College Authorities who appear to be losing sight of anyhealthy set of academic values.

The only acceptable reasons for a university to be dissatisfiedwith a lecturer must be that he lectures badly. Thurley does not.Have the people who make these decisions attended any of hislectures? How could they have done? If they had, they wouldhave seen that his lectures are always crowded; they would knowthat many students rank him as the best lecturer in the Englishschool; and they would have come away overcome by Thurley’sdynamism.

Why, then, has the University Council made this decision? Is itbecause he does not conform to the customary dreary lecturerimage, or because he does not always follow the college line, andhas the guts to speak out? Only last term he took a firm standagainst the rest of the English school over the controversial banningof ’Icarus’.

Nowhere is the right of freedom of speech more precious than ina seat of learning such as this. If the University is to lose Thurleybecause he claims that right, it is reasonable for the students them-selves to try to persuade the University Council to reconsider its’decision.

New Organ forchapel

A specification has been preparedfor a new organ for the CollegeChapel. The designer is RalphDownes, who was responsible forthe Festival Hall organ in London.

The Board have formed a com-mxtee, with the Hon. T. C. Kings-mill Moore as Chairman, to raise£15,000, the estimated cost of theorgan.

State funds cannot be used forany religious purpose, so the sumwill have to be raised by subscrip-tions and donations. The ChoralSociety are setting an example bycontributing the proceeds of thisterm’s concert to the fund.

Dean’s sermon cutA recording of Evensong from

College Chapel was broadcast bythe B.B.C. last Sunday¯ The pro-gramme was notable for the omis-sion of an important part of Rev.Perdue’s sermon concerning Viet-nam.

In giving modern illustrations ofthe parable of the wheat and thetares he pointed out how theAmericans were slaughtering inno-cent women and children as wellas Vietcong.

The Dean of Residence was un-certain as to which of many poss-ible factors was responsible for theomission, but he intended this por-tion to be "the meat of thesermon".

BOARD

Dr. McQuaid Confirms BanProvost replies in Irish Times

Conflict between the Catholic Church and Trinity has flared up again.For the first time the leading figures of both Church and College r~avejoined issue in the press. Archbishop McQuaid, in an article in thisweek’s Sunday Independent reaffirmed that Trinity is still banned toCatholics. Dr. McConnell, the Provost, in a strongly worded replyaccused the Archbishop of misjudging the situation.

The Archbishop’s long article justifies the Plenary Council’s 1956statute which forbids "Catholic youths, under pain of mortal sin, tofrequent Trinity College". His main argument is that "Catholics musthave a truly Catholic education".

This is particularly important atuniversity level where students’attitudes and understanding are attheir most vital stage. A COllegemust therefore include religiousinstruction to a high levelin the various faculties. Dr.McQuaid goes on to refute argu-ments that Trinity would help theecumenical movement, or that auniversity "should embrace Irishyouth of any, or no, religion". Heends by saying that the Church willalways maintain the right of non-Catholics to choose Trinity Collegeas their university. The Churchmust however exact its right tochoose the most suitable educationfor Catholics.

It is interesting to note that theArchbishop’s article last Sunday isa direct copy from one of his Len-tan Epistles of 19,63.

In his reply Dr. McConnell saidhe greatly regretted the Archbish-op’s article; he had hoped a lessharsh era was dawning. The Coll-ege, however would continue to ad-mit the growing number ofCatholics.

There is much general disapp-ointment that the Archbishop hasnot relented. H o p e s h a dbeen raised following his silence onthe subject last year. It is agreedhowever that the situation has notworsened and merely remains as itwas originally.

Letters to the Editor

JU~E EXAMSSir,

Your editorial on the date offinal examinations suggest that Junewould be better than Septemberbecause, among other things, onecould then answer the question"What did you do with your sum-mer?", by saying, "I tinned peas"or "I loaded lorries", instead ofmerely "I worked for my finals".Is it not possible that some em-ployers would prefer the latter?

You state further that it is"hard" that most Honor students"have to record that summers werespent working for their year’s ex-aminations". Surely, however,either it is possible for them to keepup with their reading during thefirst nine months of the academicyear, in which case their summerremains, if they so choose, unsull-ied by mental toil, or else a .Tuneexamination would find themmarkedly under-prepared?

Again, you rightly say that "alllinguists should have the opoortun-ity to spend a period of threemonths or more on the continent"¯Agreed; but why should it proveimpossible for them to do ouite abit of serious reading while "onthe continent"? Lots of continen-tals do.

Being late in the job market isof course a serious objection toSeotember finals. It is all verywell for late graduates to be bettereouipped, but as a result of this"lost" year after graduation theymay reach pensionable age a wholeyear later than they would other-wise have done; and they may evenhave in the end to be content witha smaller and less ornate headstone.On the other hand, if they comeill-prepared to a ~une final exam-ination, they may only get a Thirdor an Allowed Degree, and mayget no headstone at all.

Life is not easy; and death getsharder every day.

Yours truly,O. Sheehy Skeffington.

UISGIUAEEDear Sir,

I am a Catholic mother of 14,and I think it’s disgusting. Oureldest child, Declan, started atTrinity College last October. Ourparish priest had strongly warnedhim against it, and now I see why.When Declan was home forChristmas he mentioned that theCollege is run by somebody called" The Bawd" This is a publicdisgrace! All the years of carefulupbringing of our youth come tonaught when they go up to Trinity.I had assumed that the College’saffairs would be governed by agroup of wise old professors, andfind it quite incredible that theyshould instead be in the hands ofa lecherous, immoral slut. Maybethis is somebody’s idea of a joke,but if so I think it is in very badtaste -- even if it is a traditiondating back to Elizabethan times.

Yours, etc.,

JESSIE HICKUP (Mrs.),

LEETUIIESDear Sir,

Daedalus is mis-informed again.I challenge him to state when andwhere the SRC decided that ’theproblem of bad lectures is no con-cern of theirs’. He quotes appar-ently from a non-existent SRUdocument. I would very muchlike to see this document, and Ihope Daedalus can tell me whereto find it.

The SRC is very much con-cerned with the question of badlectures. We recommended sometwo years ago the abolition of com-pulsory lectures and the instructionof lecturers in lecturing methods.Compulsory lectures for Sophistershave since then been abolished insome departments.

Yours sincerely,J. Michael Adams,

President, D.U.S.R.C.

Apartheid inSport

Recently, Trinity’s Boxing Clubdecided, after a somewhat violentsprit, to fight South Africa’s Uni-

¯ versities Boxing Club. About everyten years, the White South AfricanUniversities have their boxers tra-vel over to fight in England andhere. They pay for the trip them-selves, claiming to be representa-tive of their country’s Universities.495 students signed a petition inprotest, 28 Professors and Lectur-ers "deplored the action of theboxing club", the President of theBoxing Club, Dr. Thornley, dis-associated himself from the matchand refused to attend, I30 protes-tors picketed the National Stadium,but Trinity, with less than 50spectators in the vast NationalStadium, fought the White Boysanyway.

The situation in South Africabores most Trinity students¯ Butin South Africa, no sporting eventcan be tainted by mixed colours.The University situation is morethan simple Aparthaid. The non-whites not only may not attendthe seven major Universities, butare further divided into casts to goto separate "Hut Universities".

ThnrnleyOn the same weekend that an

American Warship refused to allowits crew of 3,000 to set foot inthat country to protest againstApartheid there, at the same timethat the Minister for Sport declar-ed her stand against that country’sApartheid, Trinity gaily boxed thenight away and the papers--eventhe University press--equally gailydisregarded the whole question.

It seems that only bombs stir thenational conscience PresidentThornley said "As a member ofthe anti-aparthaid organization, Icompletely disapprove of any SouthAfrican Boxing Team claiming tobe representative of South Africawhen the country is so blatentlyApartheid", Yet the match tookplace, and Dr. Thornley remainsPresident Thornley. "I did notfeel I was called upon to resignover one specific matter". Howmany such "matters" does Dr.Thornley feel justifies his resigna-tion? Ten? Forty?

CnndanWhat then of fourth year medi-

cal student Condon, Captain of theClub for two years and no meanpugalist himself? "I didn’t feel",he said, "that boxing South Africawas supporting Apartheid". Hedidn’t "feel" that politics and sportshould be confused. But the Uni-ted Nations Student Associationhere has pointed out that SouthAfrica confuses politics and sport,politics and Universities, politicsand simple living. For every whitelike Mr. Condon, there are fivenon-whites. And none of themcould box with Mr. Condon. Buthe didn’t feel that boxing SouthAfrica was supporting Apartheid.

Mr. Condon is like the AmericanRestaurant Manager who refusedto allow negroes to eat at his tab-les. Politics and eating don’t mix,he said. But that’s America. May-be a few students here still remem-ber John Coker, boxer, sportsman,and coincidentally secretary of theBoxing club two years ago. But ofcourse he was black, Mr. CondomHe couldn’t have boxed for SouthAfrica--let alone attended Univer-sity there.

The Cut in the Intake of EnglishmIt’s a step in the right direction. All they want to do now is banNortherners arid we’ll be fine.

--More muddle-headness on the part of the Board, as usual getting itspriorities wrong. There are too many Irish students here as it is.

---With the Government not giving grants to students and ArchbishopMcQuaid sticking to his-antiquated attitudes, who’s going to take theirplace ?

raThe academic standard of the average English student is higher thanthat of the average Irish student. It’ll lower the tone of the place.

Chaucer’s perfect young man was the acme of medieval elegance :

"Embrouded was he, as it were a meedeAI ful of fresshe flowers, whyte and reede".

Few men in Trinity live up to the Chaucerian ideal; sartorially speaking, many are reactionary and lack taste.They still wear the tweedy, checked sports jackets of their prep. school days teamed with herringbone or striped

trousers, or, horror of horrors, trousers in a different check.

There’s nothing wrong with brightly-coloured clothes~ provided that the colours match or tone. We arereturning to an age of really exciting fashions for men, so why do the majority look as drab as ever? InTrinity, those who are fashion-conscious are apt to jump so energetically onto the bandwaggon that they all endup looking identical (witness the current epidemic of policemen’s cloaks and moth-eaten fur coats.)

The sad fact is that most men now feel diffident about wearing dramatic clothes. Why? Regency andEdwardian dress was stunningly elegant and beautifully tailored. At that time a man who took a pride in hisappearance was not considered effeminate or kinky. Today foppery is back in vogue. Girls love to be seenwith well-dressed men; the more original their clothes the better.

"Trinity News" asked design student John Fleming to adapt some styles from the past for modern-daywear. They have tremendous impact, are chic, and we would like to see more clothes like them.

i Anatomy

Last week the Irish nationaldailies carried an advertisementheaded ’A Bequest’. This markedthe end of over one hundred yearso[ self-imposed silence by theSchool of Anatomy.

Located between the Zoologyand Chemistry buildings with a de-ceptively small frontage, its where-abouts usually remain unknown tomost. For those who find it, doub-le doors and ’No Visitors’ signs arefirmly backed up by departmentalvigilance. Sensationalism has al-ways been a problem, but no longeris there any real danger of it suffer-ing the fate of the Aberdeen Anat-omy House burned down duringthe last century by an angry mob;but rigid principles of decorum, inorder to preserve respect for thedead, are applied to both staff andstudents alike.

The department itself was mod-ernised in 1957. Gone is the lay-man’s idea of cold dank rooms,now replaced by a long light airydisection room, surprisingly decor-ated with reproductions of seven-teenth century prints and bronzestatues; all executed by the presentprofessor.

The modern problems of theschool are however very real.Everyone realises that doctors mustbe trained in anatomy, but fewappreciate the difficulties in obtain-ing subjects for dissection. The

Anatomy Act of the last centurypermits, at the discretion of welfareofficials the use of unclaimed bod-ies by anatomy schools, providedthey are accorded full burial ser-vices within two years. Howeverwith the increase in social welfareover the years the number of un-claimed bodies has dwindled tovirtually zero. Thus the depart-ment is entirely dependent on

donations.The principle behind the be-

quest is extremely simple : as thelaw attaches no property value toa body no one can actually willtheir body to an anatomy school.The wish however can be expressedto relatives, and after death it isthen at their discretion whether ornot the wish is carried out. Cus-tomarily, relatives, even near ones,

MIKE WELCH

have not objected: for on seriousconsideration the bequest cannotbe rejected on moral grounds, norare there any religious objections.The essential difference is only thedelay between death and burial,the latter being provided for fullyby the department in completeaccordance with the religious beliefof the deceased, and if so desiredin a specific burial ground.

This idea has been well receivedby the few that know about it, andamongst those who have giventheir bodies are members of al-most every profession. Up to thepresent time however the variousanatomy departments in the IrishSchools of Medicine have beenmet with an almost insurmountableproblem : how to inform the gener-al public of this vital need: onwhich the very existence of medicalteaching in th~ Republic depends,and yet to avoid sensationalpublicity.

After considerable deliberationthe schools concerned decided thatthe problem could best be broughtto the attention of responsiblepeople by the direct use of judic-ious advertisement. This methodhas already been used with greatresponse in the United States andin England.

The situation is immediate andserious. In Trinity’s case it threat-ens one of the medical schools inthe British Isles. Whether thepublic responds depends very muchon how near the surface our primi-tive superstitions of death are.

Those people who do give theirbodies will always remain a minor-~ty nevertheless, a minority towhom we all, directly or indirectly,owe a considerable debt for thefulfilment of a great need.

GAys ARE GOOD

The Cq::rtified RadicalsBy THIIMA5 McEllNIfiLE

I am told that if you shout loud enough; if you can publish a thinpropaganda sheet; if you bold meetings at which you papishly investigateand solve the problems oF the world; if you can create action groups,discussion groups and groups within groups m then by the grey hair onthe chin of Karl Marx, I am told, you become a radical and your groupbecomes a radical group.

Trinity College has in its midst a one hundred per cent guaranteedcertified radical group in the form of Internationalists.

I suppose one could begin todescribe this group by providing allthe readers with a list of recom-mended readings in AbnormalPsychology which would providea proper framework in which toset this peculiar opaque molecularstructure which is against liberal-ism, sophistry, racism, colonialism(both neo and overt), Americanforeign policy, English duplicityand the Irish social system.

Next I would advise a reading oftheir propaganda sheet calledWORDS--.that is if you wanteda taste of what it was like t6 readCatholic Truth Society pamphletsof ten years ago or if you wanteda taste of the rehetoric of ComradeStalin during the 1930’s or if youjust wanted a nice juicy slice of

fanaticism, from any historical per-iod unsullied by reason or truth.

For the advanced student Iwould recommend actually talkingto an internationalist. The mostinteresting results can be obtainedby baiting this poor soul with a fewhighly reaction producing words,such as : Vietnam, Rhodesia, capi-talism (this word is particularlyeffective coupled with a mild re-buke towards Comrade Mao),South Africa, etc., etc... The ad-vanced student will notice the inter-esting phenomena of truth togetherwith history flying out the windowpushed by an enthusiastic grounds-well of double think compoundedby triple think laced together bybarbed wire on which is affixed thecurrently popular sayings of Marx,

Lenin, Mao, Lumumba, etc.My condolences are then tender-

ed to Trinity College. It seemssuch a pity that the first radicalgroup had to be so narrow, so par-ochial and so old fashioned.

There is a need for radicalismat Trinity, an institution, whosefaults Feek with the stench of thepast. But there is no need, exceptfor psychological clinical observa-tion, for a group purporting to beradical but which is in realitynothing more than a group of peop-le who share certain basic emotion-al and personal needs which aresatisfied by the holding of meetingswhich provide the illusion of sett-ling the fate of history, a mimeticcombat of planes of destiny andthe vicarious sense of power whichis the dillusion of all such groups¯

Perhaps one’s basic criticism ofthe Internationalists is that theyonly talk the words of radicalismwhich by their actions and attitudeshave become a substitute for theactions that those words demand.So in this they are just mere stu-dents, no better or worse, thanthose who are drunk on stoutrather than. on words.

SportsShorts

By HflBNEY HIEE

To continue on last week’s con-gratulatory line, first praise todaymust go to the soccer team. Asreported elsewhere on this page,they have won the CollingwoodCup and for this honour to the

..University, we congratulate TOMNOLAN and his team.

After the competition, the IrishUniversities’ Soccer team to meetthe English Universities was selec-ted. Travelling to play will beRON BALLARD and T O M M YMCCREADYj whilst other selectedTrinity players felt they had toturn down the honour because ofother pressures. They were A. AN-DERSON, J. REANEY and Trinity’scaptain,T. NOLAN. Our commiser-ation to IAN POINTER, who wouldcertainly have been selected butfor a leg injury which he receivedin Trinity’s semi-final game.

Staying on international hon-ours, I hear that the ladies’ lacrosseclub have just recently acquiredtwo new Irish caps. After a trialwhich included five Trinity girls,two were selected to represent 1re-land in the game against Scotlandthis month. They were SALLYMcFERRAN and JUDY FURLONG.Sally has been given the [urtherhonour o/ being chosen as the sub-stitute/or the British Isles on theirtour of America in April.

Today we publish no rugby re-port, since the joyless internationalmeant that no senior club gameswere played on Saturday. But Imust record here that the 1stXV met Ballymena in the Northin a mid-week game and won by3 - 0. Itwas a scrappy game play-ed under terrible conditions andthe decisive score was a try by ROBHUTCHINSON.

This makes three consecutivevictories for the team--an improve-ment on last term’s performance,and just the tonic they need with-the Leinster Senior Cup games dueso soon.

The hockey players continue ontheir way [rom one representativehonour to another. This time itis in the Irish under-23 trial whereTrinity is represented on the Pro-bables by TIM KING and also, upto a point, by PETER STIVEN, whois now playing with Ox[ord Uni-versity. Freshman PETER MURPHYis at left inner [or the Possibles.

The Irish forwards carried mostof the blame for last Saturday’sdefeat by. England. But the manwho made the winning English trypossible was Trinity graduate DANHEARN, whose tackle on BRESNI-BAN allowed MACFADYEAN throughto score.

HEARN, who once turned downa Munster trial, won his co]oursonce whilst in College. Then hedislocated a hip and might pos-sibly never have been able to playagain. Some way to repay us onhis first visit to Lansdowne Roadas an international!

SOCCER

NONO PENALTYBRINGS

CUP TO TRINITYThe Collingwood Cup has come

to Trinity at last. With homeground advantage and possibly thestrongest team the club has everfielded, hopes were high before thecompetition. But at the back ofthe confidence in Trinity’s abilitylurked the knowledge that Queen’s,Belfast, who .dominate the Cup’shistory, play in a higher grade ofsoccer than any of the other uni-versities. The final against Queen’swas close and it was left to NONOto bring home the trophy with apenalty kick.

Trinity ...........................................................9College of Surgeons ..............................0

On Thursday, Trinity met Coll-ege of Surgeons in the first round.A 9 - 0 victory was a fair commenton the home side’s superiority.

Yet it took Trinity 22 minutesto score their first, when NOLANtook a short free kick to NONO andthe winger’s first-time shot flashedinto the far comer. Eight minuteslater, a NOLAN cross found NONOagain, who slowly pushed it toREANEY and the goalkeeper wasgiven no chance as Trinity increas-ed their lead.

So it continued~by half-timeNONO had scored two more. In thesecond period REANEY scored three,

NOLAN one and MCCREADY one.Good football had been played, butSurgeons had been no real opposi-tion. Harder tasks were to come.

Trinity .............................................................2

U.C.G .............................................................O

Trinity’s next game was to be avery different affair. Galway’s styleof football is void of skill, all hitand hope, and guaranteed to spoilany skill that the opposition has.

Galway attacked early but theirefforts were balked by BALLARD,RAE and ANDERSON. Trinity scor-ed on their first attack in the eighthminute. NOLAN crossed to NONO,who shot. The ’keeper was unableto hold the ball and REANEY wasthere to push it into the net.

From then the game deteriorated.In the second half POINTER, a starat wing-half in both games, wentoff injured and D. WADDELL sub-stituted. In the 76th minute NONOtook a comer kick and floated theball across the goal. The ’keeperjumped, caught and dropped theball backwards. The score was2- 0 and the game held no furtherinterest.Trinity ............................................................1Queen’s, Belfast ....................................0

The final was a more enjoyable, game. Two evenly matched teams

produced good football. POINTER’Sinjury prevented him from playingand after 18 minutes SOWERBY, thegoalkeeper, went off with torn liga-ments and j. KYNASTON deputised.

BALLARD had his third goodgame and ANDERSON was forcefuland unbeatable in defence. MEARSand JACKSON, the full backs, held

Queen’s wings and the latter clear-ed his line at least a couple oftimes. NOLAN, the captain, waseverywhere and Trinity’s forwardswere dangerous with K. KEYS, theQueen’s sweeper and captain, beingthe main reason they could notscore.

The game swung from end toend, good goalkeeping was shownby both ’keepers, some powerfulshooting from both sets of for-wards. In the first half RAE andREANEY both almost scored.

Yet a .draw seemed on the cardsuntil, five minutes from the end,REANEY was brought down in thepenalty area and the referee point-ed to the spot. NONO, the slow,casual right wing, stepped up andstroked the ball past the ’keeper.The Collingwood Cup wasTrinity’s’.

Team: T. Sowerby; T. Mears, D.Jackson; A. Anderson, R. Ballord, I.Pointer; A. Nono, J. Reaney, C. Rae,T. Nolan. T. McCready. Subs: D.Waddell, J. Kynaston.

LADIES ’HCCKEY

A Hat-Trick for Miss Milligan

The Ladies’ Hockey team hadan encouraging league win by 3-0over Hermes on Saturday. Allthree goals were notched by MAR-GARET MILLIGAN. It was pleasingto see the Trinity team combiningso well. The quick passing of theforwards cut holes in the suspectHermes defence.

For the first time the half-backsgave support and good service tothe inside forwards, who in turnplayed to their wings and centreforwards.

At half-time, Trinity had a one-goal lead and in the second halfthey played with a great new con-fidence. The College goalkeeper,MARGARET PHILP, was not testednearly as much as she had beenin the first half, and the Hermesforwards were never dangerousafter Miss Milligan had completedher hat-trick.

Team: M. Philp; M. Pike, M.Hayes; C. Cox; J. Kingston, C.McMullan; S. Taylor, M. Milligan,S. Brock-Utne, I. Morrison, W. Lyttle.

TENNIS

League defeat

The Tennis Club lost their firstmatch in the Winter League by2-1 to Glasnevin. The No. 1pair, F. GRAHAM and A. POUSTIE10st in straight sets to a steadierGlasnevin combination, v. ROWANand M. STARKE were unlucky to godown in all three sets.

The only pair to win was H.ARMSTRONG and h. GRAHAM, play-ing at No. 2. They lost the firstset 9 - 7, but recovered to take thenext two easily for the match.

MEN’S HOCKEY

Fair resultAvoca ............................................................1Trinity ............................................................1

One minute of Saturday’smatch at Newtownpark Avenuehal elapsed when a through ballto the Trinity circle caught thedefence in a tangle and an ensuinginfringement resulted in Avocascoring from a penalty flick. Torub salt into the wound, the scorerwas last season’s Trinity centreforward, BRADSHAW. This is thesort of situation which usuallypresages ill for Trinity, but onthis occasion a welcome point wassalvaged through a fine individualgoal by MURPHY.

The match was played on avery bumpy pitch and skilful hoc-key was .difficult, but Avoca werethe more resourceful side in thefirst half. Trinity had the rightidea, but their hard-hit passes toooften went straight to an Avocadefender. After the interval thepitch of determination was raisedand a long siege of the home goalalmost brought a score. In the finalanalysis, however, a draw was pro-bably the fairest result.

Team: R. Whiteside; J. Heaney,J. Douglas; T. King; S. McNulty, M.Pettigrew; H. Fry; P. Murphy; J.Findlater; M. Freestone; D. Budd.

GOLF

Coiours victoryIn the first of this season’s col-

ours matches the Golf Club scoreda convincing 7 - 3 win over U.C.C.

Trinity led 2- 1 after the four-somes, in which BLACK and FLEURYh~d an easy win. CALDWELL andMORRISSEY were not playing attheir best but managed to win onthe 18th. BISHOP and HAUTZ hada very bad spell after’the turn los-ing four holes in a row and lost2&l.

In the afternoon, Trinity againstarted badly by losing the toptwo matches, mainly as a resultof missing short putts. BLACK al-ways had control of his match, butcredit must go to CALDWELL, whohas been struggling to find form,and FLEURY, who was three downafter eight holes of inspired golf byj. RIORDANj who both won on thelast green.

FENCING
