UBC Legion OffersHealth Insurance

VANCOUVER, B.C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1948.

Officials of Canadian Legion Branch 72 of the Universityof British Columbia will meet with the administration this

afternoon to discuss the cancellation of the spring sessions .Recent announcement by faculty representatives to the

effect that the short courses instituted for benefit of veteranswould not be held this spring has led to much discussio namong students .

The administration, through DeanBuchanan, requested the Legionto ascertain attitudes of studen tveterans to the spring sessionsabout three weeks ago. Responsewas considered to be sufficient towarrant consideration, in the opin-ion of veteran officials .NO STATEMENT

"Until after this meeting," sai dGrant Livingstone, president ofBranch 72, "we have no statementto make regarding our policy onthe matter,"

Student opinion on the campusseems to be at variance with th epreviously announced faculty de-cision .

Those students interviewed byThe Ubyssey look on the springsession as an opportunity to accel-erate their courses and consider i tof peat financial advantage tothe veteran .

VOL. XXIX

Koo ClaimsHungerSpells War

In addressing students assemble din the auditorium Tuesday Dr . T.Z . Koo, for twenty years secretaryof the SCM, outlined the essent-ials for a lasting peace.

He compered the forty nationsassembled at San Franslsco forthe purpose of again trying toweld themselves into an organ,"The United Nations," to fort ynational eggs. Each has been ncr-tured on the principle of nationalsoverignity and on the emotion ofpatriotism.KOO'S EGO

As Dr. Koo rem it, the only wa yto produce an international ome-lette is by reaching across nation .al boundaries to mix and form aworld community.

What is the real meaning ofpeace? he asked. No war, yes butthat is a very negative answer.The Chinese have three words forpeace .

The first is made up of the gym-bola for rice and mouth, put ricein the mouths of the people rea-cts the Oriental mind and thereis a condition for pace and con-tent .RICE AND WOMEN

Secondly, Dr. Koo showed theword made up of roof and a wo-man under it, the symbol of hom eiv the woman and under a roofshe is the bulwark of securitywithout which there is unrest.

Two and the symbol for theheart portray the idea of twohearts together and therefore hap-piness, friendship, underltandtngand co-operation.

We are trying to write peacewhich may only be a technical oneunless and only when the atti-

tudes of the constituent nationschange from suspicion and hatredto friendship and co-operation.

Christianity produces the will torise above wars, and nationalityand to think of one another .

Artsmen HoldUnique Vote

Fifty-two conscientious student sof the University of British Con-umbia, who showed up for theelection of an Arts UndergraduateSociety executive saw, in place ofdragging their feet through rou-tine nose-counting, a bout of spir-ited debating, creation of a newcommittee to their body, and fin-ally two ex-servicemen swept in-to top seats on their executive .

Elected to the posts of presidentand vice-president were Bob Cal land Ralph Huene .

On passage of a motion from thefloor by Grant Llvingeton—"thata body be appointed to preventmore such disgraceful turnouts asthin"—a pep committee was cre-ated, made up of the defeatedcandidates for offices. and twostudents from the floor who spokeup pro and con the following de-feated motion .

Discussion on advisability of ap-pointing a vice - president frompure sciences to the Arts execu-tive (which was imposible becaus enone of the three candidates forvice-president's post were purescience) was followed by a pro-posal from John Seitz that a "pro -visional government" be set upuntil the question could be thresh-ed out .

Motion was voted down onpounds that student apathy woul dnot be improved by delay.

Appointed to the new commit-tee were Joan Fraser, Herb Cap-ozzi, Rosemary Hodgins, John Bel-tz and Bill Galt.

McGill VeteransBlame Executive

MONTREAL, Nov, 27, (CUP) —Charges made by the preset ex-ecutive of the McGill Veterans'Society that last year's executive"acted in an unauthorized man-ner" have been denied .

In a statement to the McGillDaily, November 18, the new ex •ecutive claimed that, during theprevious year, "scanty records"had been kept of executive meet-ings; that a newspaper, believedto be a propaganda organ for th eLabor Progressive Party," hadbeen offered a list of the namesand addresses of society membersand that two checks issued hadbeen returned marked "insuffici-ent funds."

It was also charged that reso-lutions were forwarded to outsideauthorities without general ap-proval.

Members of last year's execu-tive declared that the statementamounted to "red-baiting," wascomprised of "half-truths and ac-cusations," and constituted "an at .tack on the integrity and work ofthe executive"

They charged the new executivewith ignoring the campaign forincreased grants, and generally at-tempting to "take the steam outof the veterans' society and lay thebasis for its final disolution . '

LSE Establishe sFine Arts Board

Fine Arts Board will be set u pwithin the inner workings of th eI.SE, announced Jerry Macdonald ,LSE prexy. The board will con-sist of presidents of the followingclubs, Players' Club, Glee Club .Concert Orchestra and the Mus-ical Society .

The function of the board is tolook into the idea of putting on ashow representative of the finearts sometime in the spring .

One-Act Play sAt Drama Meet

Four one-act plays will be pre-sented when the second annualwestern Canadian Inter-Varsit yDrama Festival comes to UBCJanuary 17 and 18 .

The Festival, inaugurated lastyear by Lois McLean of U of Awas so successful that it was de-cided to make it an annual affai rand UBC will play host to th esecond performance . Four uni-versities will participate, withrepresentatives coming from Man-itoba, Saskatchewan. 4lberta andthose from our own campus.

This year's presentation fro mUBC, one of the comedies "Sol-omon's Folly" or "Pierre Patelin "which were presented last week -end, will contrast sharply with theplay produced last year, "Altar -Piece," a serious piece with aracial plot.

Two of the participants will pre -sent serious plays while the otherswill produce comedies. ,

January 1 6 has been set asidefor a special presentation for stu-dents only and reduced rates willbe offered .

ENGINEERS SCOREAt the same meeting of the Un-

dergraduates Societies CommitteeMonday, November 25, there wasstrong agitation by the EngineeringUndergraduates Society that stu-dents, particularly members of th egraduating class, be permitted toselect the proof of their picture forthe '47 Totem .

So far this year proofs have beenselected by the photographers . Lastyear students selected their own.

However, "The cost of publishingwould be increased by the addedwork and mailing coats entailed "and "Since the whole success of th eannual depends on it coming out ontime, and since too much time istaken choosing the proofs, we feelthat the present practise must becontinued", said Jean MacFarlane,editor of the Totem .

Student Funds

Help Fight TB

Funds from ISS are providingwidespread relief to the victims ofthe war in Europe, especially i nthe provision of hospitals and san-atoriums.

To combat the rising incidenc eof TB, ISS opened the Internat-ional University Sanatorium a tLeysin, Switzerland in February1945 . The sanatorium Is open toall nationalities and Italians hav ebeds with Dutch patients on oneside and French on the other. Areport from Geneva compares award in Leysin to an internation-al conference .

Whie academic courses are notoffered at the sanatorium, eachstudent, who has his doctor's con-sent Is free to organize his studiesfor himself. Education Is achievedthrough conferences and discus-sions with professors, writers, ar-tists and the 18,000 volume librar yat their disposal .

Besides the education offered thework acts as a vital factor intreatment of the disease—a typeof occupational therapy.

The Swedish Committee recent-ly announced that 25 places hadbeen made available for foreigeTB students in Sweden. The tre-mendous need for such accommo-dation is contained in a Polish re .port which states that the inci-dence of tuberculosis amongs tPolish students is extremely high,unofficially estimated at 00 percent, of which 30 per cent are ope ncases .

The retirement of HonorableJustice Denis Murphy from theBoard of Governors' was announ-ced yesterday . Justice Murphy, anative of British Columbia whohas been on the Board longerthan any of its members' has ser-ved almost continuously since hisappointment in 1917.

He served with the Boarothrough every major event in thehistory of the university and hashelped to guide it through theprecarious days of the depression,the war and its present expansion .

An authority on the history o tthe university as well as that o tthe province, he was noted for hisstrong liberalism and his progres-sive attitude toward educationand this university in particular .

NO HESITATIONEvery student interviewed gav e

his or her opinion without hesita-tion, an evidence that the subjec thas occasioned much discussion onthe campus. Both veterans an delvi laps were interviewed by Th eUbyssey.

Sufficient consideration does no tseem to have been given to theveteran who is trying to getthrough his or her course as ra-pidly as possible in order to be-come re-established in a civilianoccupation," said one civilian wo-man student.

An RCAF veteran said: "Thiswill lengthen my universityattendance by one year ascourses which I planned to tak eduring spring and summersessions would give me oneyear's credits."An ex-WD had this to say :

"Many WIYs will not be dischargedtill next month . Some of thesegirls planned to attend spring see-sion and thus accelerate their uni-versity work . Now they will haveto wait for a longer period durin gwhich time they may or may no tbe able to get jobs ."

An American veteran, who Isnot affected by Canadian DVAgrants, had the following statemen tto make: "I had planned on takingthree courses during spring see-sion and others during the sum-mer to accelerate my course. Thisdecision will put me back on eyear. Ex-Service students are eagerto complete their courses as quick-ly as possible. Many are in theolder student group with familyresponsibilities. , An extra yearcan make a great difference totheir plans."

UNAFFECTED, OUTCommented one of the "older

group" : "I am in my final year sowill not .be personally affected bythe faculty decision. However, Iattended spring and summer ses-sions last year and if it had notbeen for this, I would not be ableto graduate till next year . Re-cognizing the difficulties for theadministration entailed in extrasessions, I think that If It is at al lpossible the spring sessions shoul dbe Continued .

"It is possible that there may besome loss of standard in the springsession work as time Is such animportant factor, but the financialadvantage to rthe veteran mustalso be considered . "

Another veteran suggested thatthe cancellation of the spring ses-sion would be of no aid to theproblem of overcrowding.

He was always a staunch support-er of student activity and govern-ment.

In announcing his retiremen tPresident N, A. M. MacKenzi emade this statement . "Both t h eBoard of Governors and I person-ally, deeply regret the retirementof the Honorable Justice Murphyfrom the Board . His long experi-ence and wide judgement weninvaluable and enabled him t omake a contribution which it wil lbe impossible to replace."

A member of the administrationsaid of Justice Murphy, "He hasbeen, since the inception of th euniversity its staunchest and mostuntiring champion . "

Justice Murphy was born in th eCariboo where his father was well

With the Gym Drive coming to an end,

this is as good a time as any for the under -

graduate officials concerned with such thingsto take a stand against the continual an dpetty attacks suffered by pocketbooks o n

this campus in the name of some worth ycause or another ,

All too often in the past minor function shave been transformed into benefit per-formances, until it has become difficult fo ranyone to find some event when somedemand is not made upon the under -graduate's finances .

The tendency to impose a charge on var-ious events, or to increase the establishedrate, has served more as an annoyance thanas a worthwhile money-raiser. The GymDrive has undoubtedly been the chief of -fender in this regard, almost to the point ofridiculousness. No matter how inspiring acollection of fifty or a hundred dollars maybe, it has served mainly to impose unex-pected expenditures upon student budgets .Furthermore, it would take ten thousandsuch collections to build the gym.

The philosophy seems to have been that"No one will miss ten cents here or two-bit sthere; " the fact is that some students do fee lthe pinch from such small amounts. It is

The announcement of the retirement of

the Honourable Justice Denis Murphy fro m

the Board of Governors is sad news for th e

University. In the history of UBC there isperhaps no other single person who hasworked so unceasingly for, and contributedso much in wisdom and experience to, ou rinstitution. Few students realize the deb twhich they owe to him personally, as achampion, of their rights and privileges anda firm believer in the self-governing prin-ciple of student government .

The Honourable Justice Murphy hasserved on the Board of Governors for almos ttwenty-five years . He helped to guide theUniversity through the first post-war con-

THE FORUM'S STANDIt is heartening to find that a great man y

UBC students value their civil rights enough

to stand against their being denied to Cana-

dians of Japanese ancestry. This feeling

was displayed clearly enough in the Parlia-mentary Forum last week when the mem-bers present, unable to find anyone to argu e

against the return of Japanese students t o

this university, held a panel discussion onthe subject. In voting unanimously for the"return", they indicated their realization o fthe danger in persecuting minorities, andtheir distrust of the deep-seated prejudicewhich characterizes the residents of th ecoast area.

That the Japanese have not yet been rein -stated in the coastal zone, and that Cana-dians of East Indian and Oriental ancestryare yet disenfranchised in this province,prove that Canadian democracy has man ysteps to take before it can be calledcomplete .MINORITY DISCRIMINATIO N

The persecution of the Japanese—an dwhat else can our treatment of them becalled?—was excused on the basis of WarEmergency. Their presence in the coastalzone might have been dangerous both tothemselves and to others during the war. Atany rate, public opinion had to be satisfied ;reason seldom cries above the noise of panic .

Yet when the war ended, and presumabl ythe danger with it, hot heads and loud voice ssucceeded in forestalling the return of fullcivil rights to the Japanese against whomflaw, if any, charges of disloyalty, sabotage ,and conspiracy were even lodged . Instead,

quite obvious already that many student s

do not get full value from their AMS fees ,

and in some cases that is not their own fault .That being the case, the best policy wouldbe one of levying additional charges onlywhen necessary . Any time that an ordinary

event can be staged for nothing it shouldbe organized that way,

A case in point is the siphoning off of th eproceeds from the reduced rate which th eAlma Mater Society secured for tonight'sperformance of Henry V . A good many ofthe students who would most want to se ethat picture would very much appreciatethe chance to save a little money in th eprocess. Instead, it was seen fit to chargethe full price to the students and to grabthe difference for the Gym Drive.

If it is necessary to raise money forspecial projects, then special functionsshould be held for the purpose or only th elarger functions already planned should bedevoted to the purpose . It has been prove nin the past that one or two large functions ,specially dedicated to a worthy cause, maybe much more efficient (and much less an-noying to most people) than a flock ofpenny-grabbing efforts tied onto otherwisefree affairs .

version period, was its most vigorous sup-porter through the difficult depression yearswhen its very existence was threatened, an,'has since taken a lead in the formation o fplans for expansion. ' Though a man in thelatter years of life, he is nevertheless note dfor his strong progressive and liberal atti-tude, his faith in the future of UBC, and hisunshakeable confidence in youth .

On behalf of the student body, TheUbys,sey would like to pay tribute here toits most respected Governor, to extend t ohim our gratitude and our wish that he willlive to see this University achieve the dignityand stature which his faith in it hasguaranteed.

deportation proceedings were begun Theboatloads'of "Canadians" leaving Vancouve rharbour for Japan not long ago make sorryreading in the history of Canada.

RIGHTS OF ALL INVOLVE DThe prejudice against the Japanese—as

against so many minorities on this continent—owes its morbid existence to misunder-standing, fear, economic distress, rumor, andmisrepresentation. It cannot claim the fa-therhood of fact . Yet prejudice is permittedto grow into a fat, complacent parasite whichwill surely gnaw out the heart of democracy.

For the civil rights which so many peopl esincerely believed they were defending inwar cannot be given to some and denie dothers Canada was built of minorities, andseems today to be almost a federation ofminorities . There is no one national or re-ligious group in this country which can claiman absolute majority of the population .When the rights of one minority are threat-ened, therefore, the rights of all are threat-ened equally. When one group is perse-cuted, the precedent thus established putsanother group in danger . .

PUBLIC'S DUTY

Whatever it is about the Japanese that thepeople of B .C. fear or dislike, persecutio nis neither a wise nor a safe solution . Munici-pal and provincial legislation can preven teconomic malpractice ; public education ca nguarantee Canadian loyalty. Repression isnot the answer .

The Parliamentary Forum here at UB Chas taken a broad and fearless stand towardreinstatement of civil rights to the Japanes eCanadians Students who ally themselveswith liberal and progressive causes mustfollow the Forum's lead.

When he referred to the rats Inthe Arena, he obviously referredto not one rat, but several—per-haps even several large families o frats .

Theonly difficulty with this theory isthat there were only two photo-graphers at the concert, and onlyone of them was an accreditedPublications pixie.

It would not seem to be askingtoo much forbearance on the partof our critics to allow for the ne-eessities of adequate coverage of'big time' events on the campus .

Nervous, oversensitive peopl ewho attend these concerts only t ocriticize and watch the audienceare the only people who noticedthe flashes . Many people havecommented that — although Mr .Melchior was 'Without a Song'they did not notice the flashes atall . How now, mad critic ?

Mr. Melchior asked Bob to waituntil the end of the concert, an ddesignated "Vive la compagnie" esthe most suitable song for the tak-ing of pictures.

The Legion Dinner Dance willbe held at the New Veterans' Mem-orial Centre, 618 Burrard Street, onthe night of Thursday, December19th . Lance Harrison and his or-chestra will be providing the music ,hot and sweet. Dress is optional.

Students who worry about examscan relax that evening. The dancedoesn't conflict with most examschedules, and 'it is a great chanceto drive your worries away an dhave a good time. And you meetthe nicest people !

Tickets are now on sale at theLegion Office and they're goingfast. There will be no last-minut ebookings, so come in early and ge tyour tickets and your table reser-vations.

S e e

Those veterans who applied forthe Memorial booklet, "Hollandand the Canadians", may now ob -tain them by calling at the Leg -ion Office. There are a limitednumber, however, so applicant sare advised to come early .

g e e

In view of the fact that examin-ations are taking up most of themonth of December and that stu-dents are under a great pressureof work, the Legion has decidednot to hold its monthly GeneralMeeting for December. The dateof the January General Meetingwill be announced.

At least three of the four speak-ers on the panel virtually ignored

the substance of the resolution

and treated themselves to harsh -

sues against what they called"race prejudice" or "race hatred'with table thumping too.

If I may stand in the Parliamus.tart' Forum as an IndependentMember, let us say representingthe constituency of the West CoastI will gladly introduce, and de-fend in debate, a private bill a :follows: "Resolved that settlementof Adntic people in British Col-umbia should be discouraged. "

USC Chairman Promises

To Air Student Opinion

By LAURA HAAHTIWith its new executive painlessly elected, the Under-

graduate Societies Committee, official "conscience" of theStudents' Council, promises to polish up its hitherto un-spectacular record.

Through the clear-sighted policies of its new chairman ,Bill McKay, the body shows definite signs of passing fromthe wobbling 'infant to the short-pants stage.

It's Time For A ChangeBY WARREN DAMER

All it takes to build a $500,000memorial is a whopping big warand about eight thousand of itsvictims and its veterans.

Right now, the facilities as the yexist must be tiled to their ut-most, and this means practicingthe rules of co-operation .

It's nice the way six people ge tall their clothes into one locker .The first man In Is the last ma nout . This is very helpful, since th earrangement is to get the skinn yand physically run-down man infirst. Then he will get the Vast-eat benefit of one of "iron-man "Doug Whittle's physical trainingcourses. As the year progresses,the number of men to qualify forthe position dA first man increases .

Anyone over five foot-two hasa chance of losing sire head ens •route from the locker room to theshowers . There was once a move onfoot to have the obstructing steampipes moved but the furnacewould have to be put on the bas-ketball court. Even Bob Osborn ewould have trouble coaching ahot team while contending with afurnace.

The request from European stu-dents for correspondents in Can-ada is gradually becoming a floo dwith sixty letters now on file andmore arriving every day. A re-port from the Canadian Commit-tee in Toronto says that the thirs t

Dr. Earle Birney and Dr. Ed-mund Morrison of the Departmentof English told of the days when,a, editors of the Ubyssey, thei rpolicy was to find some issue socontrovesial on the campus as t olead to the expulsion of the hstaff from the student paper.

Ken Drury and William Bell ofthe News Herald, Dean G . F. Cur-tis of the Law School, ant DickElton and Pat Keattey of the CBCnews staff, spoke briefly of thouexperiences on student newspap-ers .

university education is supposedto give you, this Department runsa series of rhythmic and dancingclasses.

All this is very well for theTotles who take regular classes inarchery, fencing, swimming andothers 'arts, or manage to wor koff their exuberance according toa schedule .

Some of the serious - minde dstudents, a majority nowadays ,would like to get in a little hand -ball, or go for a swim now an dthen. In fact, there are a lot ofathletic things they would like t oknow how to do.

In the past there has been sovery little effort at teaching theseaspirants to play these invigor-ating and relaxing games that the ycannot now afford the time need-ed to learn.

It takes a lot of fine examplesof vigorous, clean-living physics:Instructors to set the examples re-quired to uphold the physics .•ment$l and moral precepts leadingto a full life.

Such people fill Canadian hist-ory and must fill our future.

Coach Hobble Hobson has mould-ed a squad that is supposed to bea great deal stronger than the entrythe Duckmen had last year. Thewhole team with the exception o fone man will be returning to dobattle.

That one man however is onewho local casaba fans have cometo know as a great hoopla artist .tain of the Oregon quintet andHe is Bob Hamilton, former cap -four-year letterman . A constantthreat at all times, Bob was Indeeda smooth operator when It cameto handling that melon .

TWO VICTOR1E8In the six tilts that the two teams

have played, Varsity has managedtwo victories and strangely enough ,both victories were on the Oregonfloor . That was on Jan . 2 and 3 ofthis year when the 'Birdmenchalked up wins of 72-61 and 62 .60.

In November of last year, theOregon squad took two tilts fromBlue and Gold quintet in the pre-conference training period. Theother two tilts were played herewhen Murray Van Vliet was coach-ing the Thunderbirds two yearsago.

The Oregon boys are touted asone of the best teams in the Paci-fic Coast Conference this year. Theconference itself is symbolic ofbasketball of top calibre, so if the'Birds manage to snatch even onewin In the two-game series, theywill do very well for themselves ,considering that the season is stillvery young.

The Rugby moguls have beenbusy this week planning a mult-itude of games. Slated for this

RECONNOITRE COURSE

The seven man entry from the

Point Grey metropolis headed forSeattle yedterday afternoon, andwere slated to reconnoitre thecourse before retiring early to thei rrooms at Hotel Meany near theWashington campus . Confidentlytouted as the finest group of longdistance runners ever to represen tVarsity, the pacers, with two toughmeets behind them—the IntramuralCross Country Classic, and thetime trials—are rated in perfectcondition, and are granted an evenchance to cop the laurels for thefourth straight time.

Beside *Thereon, who dons thestrip for the fourth time in hisspectacular university career, ar efive veterans of the gruelling grind .and a promising young freshmanfrom star-studded Lord Byng Hig hSchool, Bob Piercy .

SPEED PLUS EXPERIENCE

The experienced members of theteam—a team literally loaded withtrack savvy—have been slashingtheir times consistently within th epast twelve months, and when suc hperformers as Pat Mlnchin, Al BainDoug Knott, Pete de Vooght, andGil Blair, are in the process ofimprovement, Speed itself had bet -ter look to its laurels.

However, in keeping with thepostwar revival of sport, the Uni-versity of Washington Invitationhas replaced the former affair heldunder the auspices of the SpokaneRoundtable, and the resulting in-crease in publicity that the Husk ypublicity machine will give thegrind, augurs well for the brand ofcompetition to be offered by theAmericans.

Already several appneatlonshave been received by Ivor Wynn'sIntramural Council for admittanceInto a league that should be in-augurated after Christmas and thePhysical Education moguls are cur-rently hunting for additional poolspace in which to stage tie games .

`Birdmen, Ducks Do Battl elnTwo-G~me Oregon Series

By LAURIE DYER

The casaba kids of the Blue and Gold take to the roa dthis weekend for a two-game series south of the border. Theopposition comes in the form of the Oregon Webfoots, one

of the toughest teams in the Pacific Coast Conference .Although the fracas will not be

an official conference tilt, it is a

series that the 'Birds have come

to look forward to over the last

two years . In that short time, thetwo teams have met In hooplawarfare six times and in each case ,the context has been a honey ,

Unfortunately, the local fans willnot see the Webfoots in action thisyear as the Oregon quintet cannotwork a Vancouver game into theirschedule but the two game seriesthis weekend will make up for itand It Is hoped that next year, theDbcks will be able to return to theUBC campus.

tfeilNa16ONo,

e,.a

N#4t'OA.

Definitely scheduled are the Mc-Kechnle Cup games for the Pro-vincial Championship. Entered inthe series will be Victoria's Crim-son Tide, Vancouver's Lions andthe cup-holding Varsity's Thund-erbirds. Games are scheduled forthe end of February . Varsity wiltplay each opponent once in theStadium, will play one game InBrockton Bowl, and will thentravel for the fourth game to Mc-Donald Park in Victoria . In caseof a tie, as last year, the teamswill play a knockout series fortotal points.

INTRAMURAL SCHEDUL E

VOLLEYBALL SCHEDULE

BY HAL TENNANT

Varsity's 1946 tribe of Chiefs promises plenty of action for casaba fans when the hoopl afive that ranks second only to the Thunderbird basket brigade tackles Stacey's mightier o fmaples at Varsity gym one week from 'Saturday night .

Final selection of the Chiefs' roster has yet to be made, but what with a generou ssupply of hoop artists turning out for practic es, it should be merely a matter of picking th ecream of a bumper crop for display at the Chiefs' debut into the city's 1946 senior A

basketball loop.The Varsity' basketmen will have

a high standard to live up to, sincelast year's Chiefs romped throughthe 1945 schedule, taking a placeposition behind the loop-winningLauries Pie-Rates.

Armchair experts are dubious asto the potentialities of the Lauriecrew, since the Pie-Rates have ha dtroubles of their own this year ,They have just re-entered the 1946card after dropping out for lac kof players.

Staceys may have a alight dropon the student crew In the let-ter's opener, since they will havehad one league game under theirbelts before visiting for the cam -pus affair.

PRE-SEASON TILTThe Chiefs, on the other hand

will have only the experience o fan early exhibition tussle behindtheir opening efforts, having gonedown before the Meraloma five ina pre-season encounter.
