Varsity SwimmersLose to V. A. S. C.

On Wednesday night the Varsitynatatorial stars fresh from their near -triumph in Victoria, stacked upagainst the V. A. S . C . experts withmost disastrous results . With GordieBaker out of the diving with an in-tooted ear, and two others of theirhighest hopes "turning up missing" a tthe last minute, Varsity went down tocomplete and entire defeat to the tun eof 88.42 .

Varsity won only two events, snar-ing a first and a third in the women' s60 yards back•etroke„ and a first andsecond In the women's 100 yards tree -style.

The women's relay race providedthe only thrill in a match thatwas too one-sided to be interest•ing. Vancouver's first swimmerheld a slight lead, but Bettie Tingley ,Varsity's last hope, swam a splendidrace to cut the lead so fine that afterfive minutes of heated argument an dviolent disagreement between th ejudges, one of whom could not b efound, having apparently fallen intothe tank, the race was given as a dea dheat .

In the 100 yards breast stroke, men ,Johnny Williams, Varsity skipper ,pushed Chuck Hills so hard that i norder to take the event, Hills had tocover the distance in eight second sless than ho usually takes over tha tdistance .

Varsity felt the loss of Gordle Bakervery keenly in the diving division, forthe Vancouver club uncovered a dis-tinct luminary in L. Liddlo, who wil lmake Gordle step to keep his place atthe top of the heap. Varsity droppe dthis event rather badly, for J . Cum-mings was also among those not pres-out, and the beat. Ernie Peden couldget was third place, although in theopinion of at least one of the judges ,and most of the crowd . he should haveplaced second, In the diving even tDeans, of Varsity, deserves a grea tamount of credit for his sportsman -ship. Although he had turned out onl yfor the plunge and had never don eany diving other than what was neces-sary to get into the water, he gallant-ly volunteered to dive for Varsity, i norder to make up the necessary tota lof entrants . His last two dives wer every creditable as they were divesthat he had never attempted previous-ly .

On last night's display, Varsityneeds to train, and train hard, befor etheir next meet, it they expect to ge tanywhere in the league .

Detailed results of the events willbe found on Page 4 .

Lectures are given every Fridayevening and the public is invited t oattend. No admission is charged .

Dr. Shrum's lecture on Friday even-ing of this week will be held at 8 :1 5in the big Physics lecture roo m(Science 200) because it Is quite Im-possible to transport the apparatu sand demonstrate the phenomena i nany down town auditorium . The sub •jest is "Cold Light ." A great man yof the spectacular modern phenomenaabout which we recut so much in th edaily press will he shown.

It Isto be hoped that this college Wil lshow some interest in the affair an dgive the beet team this institutionever boasted of some kind of stimulus .At a recent High School game it wa sremarked that the lower gradescholars showed more enthusiasm,spirit and pep than the whole Var.city.PAIGE COACH TO BE RAFFLE D

Theedeficit on the Christmas games hadbeen greatly reduced and will prob-ably be entirely obliterated b ySaturday .

WARATAHS ARE COMIN GVarsity is again to have the oppor .

tunity of competing with the world' sbest in the English code when thecrack New South Waled team reache shere late in February. Perhaps morebrilliant than the Maoris, theWaratabs have lost only three game sin their tour of the old country andthese by close scores against Scot -land and England . There is noreason why Varsity should not giv ethem a good run for their money .An old country authority claims thattheir forwards are equal to th efamous All-Blacks and that they pla ya straight forward style of gamesimilar to that of the New Zealanders.The Waratahs, now touring the cointinent, will leave for Canada in abouttwo weeks and will travel across th eDominion on their way south ,

British Secretary of State for Dominions AddressesStudents on Tuesday

Lieut.•Ool. Amery, British Secretary of State for Dominion affairs, gaveOlt Illuminating address to a large audience in the Auditorium on Tuesda y81IOnling. "Co-operation" war the subject of his address, He pointed out t othe students of British Columbia, the vast possibilities that lay before themin the field of co-operation .

Colonel Amery showed how students who were now investigators in abroad field, would gradually come to specialise in a narrower field . Theywould have to choose from the existing order their abode, their patriotism ,and their politics. Then, havingchosen, it was up to the Individualto be strong enough to make his be -nets felt .

"Look forward," said he, "realisewhat is going to be, and make ad -Augments to suit ." He showed thatthe past had its lesson to teach, bu tour equipment should be made to fi tthe future rather than the past. Greatchanges have been made, but greate r

chhane. are vleoocot

me, and with an

The speaker told of the unimaginedpossibilities of Canada. The countrywas still to be made, its resourceswere yet to be developed, and itspopulation was bound to grow . We,of the present time have ttj~t onl ythe duty of filling our own nidllo, bu ta>tlso the privilege of taking a partin shaping the destiny of Canada.

Canada is a young country in ayoung empire. The Imperial Con .Terence last year marked the end ofone stage in the British Empire, andthe beginning of another. It was theculmination of the growth of self.government, and the birth of the free-willed co-operation among free in .dividual nations . The new methodis freer and more elastic ; perhaps i twill be more efficient. Thus theBritish Empire is setting an exampl efor nations to work together, an dyet not to lose their individuality .

Colonel Amery went on to tell howthe last century was an age of na-tionalism, an age of small patrioti cselfishness against the outside world .Now a more comprehensive spirit isfostered . He did not believe that asudden revolution from the old to thenew was possible, but that the spiri tof internationalism must come as agradual evolution. The Brithh Em-pire, with its free independent co.operating nations is the beginning o fthis internationlism, and has highe raims than for only pure economi cdevelopment or power. It aims fora development of international good -will, a spirit which will be good no tonly for ourselves but for the worldat largo .

Before the meeting adjourned ,President Klinck stressed Colone lAmery's statement that the tim ewould come for a narrowing of inter-est, and he hoped it would bring withit al deepening of conviction . "Colone l.Amery," said he, "has pointed out ou rduty to our country, our empire, andour world . "

President Klinck then introducedthe Honorable Mr. Bostock, Chair -man of the Senate of Canada, wh ohe hoped, would be able to deliveran address here in the near future ;and Captain E. Brant, M .P., who ac-companied Colonel Amery

Donr Mr . Brown :I shell he most grateful to you i f

you will convey to the Alma Mate rSociety of the University my dee pgratitude, to them and to you for thei rmost genterous gift .

May I wish you all a very happyChristmas and New Year .

Ours, I may say, is infinitely hap -pier, owine to your generosity an dgoodwill .

Yours very sincerely ,Lesley Mu ► •t ay .

INTERCOLLEGIATE SPOR TThe recent activities in athletics between Varsity teams and othe r

organizations representing both colleges and cities, deserve som ecomment by virtue of their work in adding to the renown of th eUniversity . In some respects athletics during the past few month shas made notable strides both in the number and importance of th emajor contests in which the various clubs have participated. Moreof a like nature are yet in sight and will in all probability prov equite as noteworthy as those that have already passed ,

As we are at the present moment approximately at the mid-waypoint in the University year it is quite fitting that we stop for amoment and compare what has gone before with what is still tocone. The two main events of the past term have been withou tdoubt the visit of Dalhousie, and the Rough-Riders series, the on ein English, the other in Canadian Rugby . The former, series may b esafely said to represent the Canadian Intercollegiate English Rugb yohampionehip if not the Dominion championship over all ; and re-gardless of the outcome, the very fact that such a series was playe dtend that our University was represented therein, speaks volumes forthe condition of athletiog here, It is a regrettable' fact that the sup-pbrt at the games was not sufficient to cover expenses but the situa-tion Is by no moans as bad aA at first reportett and should come ou t

, all right in the end.The same is true of the Canadian Rugby series for the champion -

ship of Western Canada in which Varsity boys participated . Regard-%ils the fact that they were beaten in both games, nevertheles sthey achieved success in a matter of equal importance, that o fassisting materially to establish the University as a sporting centr eof high calibre and undoubted prestige .

Not only in these two games but also in others less notable, ha sprogress also been shown . Chief among these was the recent basket -

II game staged at Seattle between the Senior A boys and theW'Abington first string team. The improvement shown over lastyear's games was indeed surprising, and by this game and the re -turn one, to be staged here in the near future, friendly relations withWashington will undoubtedly be strengthened .

Besides this game with Washington at least one other importan tsporting event Is in More for students in the coming term . This ist e, tussle with the world famous Waratahs, a game which is likel yto be remembered along with the Maori visit as one of the outstand-ing events of the sporting calendar in, years. Other contests of im-ppoortance that are in prospect include the swimming team's trip toBanff and possibly a trip of the Senior A Girls Basketball team t oEdmonton. Track may be counted on to contribute one or tw ointercollegiate meets . It is regrettable that the Western Canad aIntercollegiate Tennis Tournament had to be dropped from the lis tof activities, hut because of financial reasons it is probablethat such steps could not be taken under any consideration .

We have then reviewed the high lights of the past term i nathletics and the outstanding events that are being planned for thecorning term. A mere glance will reseal the fstct that the progt r am-me covers practically every branch of sport and so is proof of ngenerally healthy condition in all major organizations concerned .The main purpose of intercollegiate and inter-city association is toestablish ourselves in the minds of others and to promote more inti-mate associations, especially between colleges . The sporting pro -gramme of this year in the diversity and excellence of its work i nthis line has succeeded admirably .

THE CHRISTMAS EXODUSThe number of failures among first, second and even third

year students this year leads us to reflect that there is somethingwrong either with the standard of examinations or with the metho dof preparing for them . While it is probably true that the standard saye being raised every year, this is not the sole reason for the largenumber of Christmas graduates .

The real reason lies in the feet that very few students kno whow to study properly . Almost without exception every student inthis University has the requisite ability to make a pass . It is a rar estudent who cannot make fifty per cent . in any subject if his effort sare turned in the right direction .

The first fault is cramming . We hesitate to mention a subjec twhich has received so much unfavourable comment. Procrastina-tion, the universal human fault, seems to be the pet sin of colleg estudents. The vague but confident hope that somehow one mill b eable to do the whole year's work in the last two weeks, leads onefrom one day of friendly idleness to the next ,

Nor are extra-curricular activities to blame for cramming an dlow standards. To be sure there is far too much emphasis placedupon them, too much hero worship on the part of the easily-swaye dmass of students of the "good follows," the versatile individual wh osacrifices his time, his studies and his marks in the glorious caus eof the Alma Mater and "college spirit" and (let it he remembered) ,for his own glory .

There are many who hide behind this barricade of student activi-ties, a will power insufficient to do a decent amount of work. It is notof these we are speaking . They know' as well as we do that there i sno executive position, or no collection of executive positions whos eduties are too exacting to prevent a little exertion of intelligence.

We are speaking of the general run of students who drif tconsciously or unconsciously, till the last two frantic weeks of th eterm. If those who do this could realize what a very littl eeffort it takes to keep up they would not allow their work to aecu-mulate and reach impossible proportions at the end of the term .

All this of course has the contemptible familiarity of a wor nout garment and we realize with a sigh that it will be equally des-pised, However, it is none the less true for all that, and though i tmay earn for us the epithet of a Pausanuis we will have our say .

It is very easy for students to keep a reasonable) check on theirwork. Everyone realizes when he is slipping back. Though theclasses are very large every professor has a fairly accurate know -ledge of the progress of his individual students, The intelligenc eand effort required to keep one's work up to the average standar dis not particularly great . If every student had the will power toexert himself even to this degree we would not have the disgracefullist of failures with which we are now faced .

A MYSTERIOUS MYSTER YThat night (evening time, when dark-

ness fell, on the stroke of twelve) afigure, form, apparittlon, professor) ,stole from behind the shrubbery an ddarted across the yard (11th Ave ., 12t hAve ., etc ., street, river, campus) . Slow-ly it crept (crawled, slouched, rolled ,staggered) towards the mansion (barn ,arts Building, Library, Ewer-parlor) .In his hand was a dagger (revolver ,rifl, canon, flask) .

Suddenly a sho t(bang, He, pop, gurgle) as hearts an dreverberated around the . . , place .A scream (yell, grunt, howl, tilt) ren tthe atmosphere (air, silence) .

The next morning (time when (ark -ness was not, instant) the detective s(Sherlock Holmes, sleuths, janitor ,librarian) came to the place of th emurder (dark deed, foul act, crime ,Party) and with their keen wits Im -mediately solved the mystery .

A man (woman, dog, freshman) hadbeen shot (stabbed, choked, poisoned ,decapitated, maybe killed), Some on ehad done it and the crime investigat -or knew who,—for the doer of th edeed was still upon the scene, It wasa suicide .

They got too fresh and called me ahulking fish. I kept quiet but Tomsaid Bob (Arts '31) had hair like wooland we weren't going to have ou rRambodilleta insulted behind thei rbacks, so we bounced the Arts andTom, but let him in afterwards andmade him put clean straw down .

POOR JUDGMENT IN ENGLIS HRUGB Y

Generally speaking, the intersection •al series in which Dalhousie rugger smet representative British Columbi ateams, was something of a Huge flop ,and poor judgment was shown i nbringing the Easterners here at thi sseason of the year .

There Is not a howling Interest I nEnglish rugby, as was shown whe nU. B. O. students refused to suppor ttheir own team in the first game . I twe must bring a big squad of playershere, the money should be spent infurthering star soccer clubs, or repro •'tentative CANADIAN RUGBY teams ,and not spent on a comparativel y"lack of interest" sport.

The press gave the Eastern team abig ballyhoo, but this was slashed con-siderably when the receipts and at .tendance at the first game were mad epublic .

True, the sport has its select follow.!ng in Vancouver, but the Rugb yVnlon lost a cool $2,800 on the yen—Lure . Aggregate attendance for threegames was 8100 with gate receipts o fonly $1478.

, A mighty poor showing when anEastern team plays here.

Women's Senior "B"Defeat Y.W.C.A.

The Women'. Senior "B" basketbal lteam played the Y.W.C.A. in theY.W.C.A. gym. Wednesday 7 p .m. anddefeated them 94.

The Varsity "B" team is now lead-their league having played s o

far without losing a game, Had theT.W.C,A. won, they would have tiedVarsity for first place, but Varsity isnow two games up on them .

The Y.W.C.A. led 6.2 in the firs tquarter, and they were still leadingin the third quarter .

Those playing for Varsity were :Mary Campbell, centre 4Dot . Patterson, forward 2Kay Kidd, forward 0Tola Worthington, forward 1Margaret Richards, guard 2Lois Tourtellotle, guard 0Ruth Herbert, guard 0

Canadian Rugby MakesGood Start

The Canadian Rugby Spring seaso ngot away to an auspicious start whe none of the best Spring squads o frecent years started practice in thecold grey dawn of Thursday morning.Several of last fall's Intermediate'swere on hand and with some promis•ing new men available, anothe rProvincial Championship may com eto U.B .C .

Of last fall's Intermediates Cole •man, Hodreen, Fish, Harrell andStanley are showing up well . Cole •man and Hedroen are good prospect sfor next year's Senior team . Nowmen include Borto, Campbell, Dunlop ,Johnson and Ackerley, and other me nwho have not had it chance to sho wtheir talent as yet . Berta, Fish andStanley are working for the quarte rback position, and Bailey is castin gcovetous eyes on the same place .Laurence Robson, Ackerley and Cam p.hell are training for halves, and Ed .Johnson is showing good puntingtalent. The line is still an unknownquantity, though Peden, Hodreenand Coleman will probably gfet. places.

The Intermediate team is enteredin the Lower Mainland League, andthere is a possible playoff In store forthe Provincial Championship ,

At the close of the "Big Four "season Victor Odluii was electedCaptain of next year's team. He, wit hother Seniors will attend the pramMee and perhaps help Dr . Burke andNorm. Burley with the coaching ,

There will be practices on theVarsity oval for the Intermediateteam every morning. The men mustbe on the field in strip at 7.46 a.m .sharp. If enough men turn out ther ewill be a junior team formed .
