And'there is n o guarantee that a similarly high record would be built up i n American football, as compensation . Purthermore, the present urge for inter-collegiate competi- tion with the South can be satisfied by the basketball, rowing , boxing and debating schedules now in action, together wit h occasional games of English rugby, such as that with the O l pica last term . In fact, members of the English Rugby Clu b have been assured by sport officials at the University of Wash ington that, if desired, there is nothing to prevent the formin g of a rugby club there, and the establishment of competitio n with U . B . C . in that sport . Finally, we object to the introduction of American football , because it would cause this University to compete in a gam e around which has grown up many of the worst features o f American college life . Outstanding amongst these is a stres s of the physical and the temporary over the intellectual and th e permanent, Thus there is a tendency to exploit brawn, produc e mentally unequipped gladiators, and shower honor and rewar d upon the successful coach rather than the successful professor . The result is a loss, both of all-around development and of th e temperate spirit of amateurism . We draw from the considerations the conclusion that sinc e American football would have detrimental effects, it should no t be brought into U . B . C . until the U . S. Universities are willing to aid in that reform of the game, which many already admi t necessary . And as these injurious results would affect th e whole University, we consider the argument that the gam e should be allowed, if a section wish to play it, as palpabl y ridiculous .

American. Football

The Ubyssey objects to the introduction of American foot-ball into the University of British. Columbia on the followin ggrounds :

In the first place, the experience of other colleges goes t oprove that a "football season" necessarily develops : Englishrugby—just as good a game as American football—and soccerppla ed, of necessity, during this "season," would be sapped o fboth players and supporters, and our high position in the prov-ince in both these *ports would be destroyed. And'there is noguarantee that a similarly high record would be built up inAmerican football, as compensation .

Purthermore, the present urge for inter-collegiate competi-tion with the South can be satisfied by the basketball, rowing ,boxing and debating schedules now in action, together wit hoccasional games of English rugby, such as that with the O lpica last term. In fact, members of the English Rugby Clubhave been assured by sport officials at the University of Wash •ington that, if desired, there is nothing to prevent the formin gof a rugby club there, and the establishment of competitionwith U. B. C. in that sport .

Finally, we object to the introduction of American football ,because it would cause this University to compete in a gam earound which has grown up many of the worst features o fAmerican college life . Outstanding amongst these is a stres sof the physical and the temporary over the intellectual and th epermanent, Thus there is a tendency to exploit brawn, produc ementally unequipped gladiators, and shower honor and rewar dupon the successful coach rather than the successful professor .The result is a loss, both of all-around development and of th etemperate spirit of amateurism .

We draw from the considerations the conclusion that sinc eAmerican football would have detrimental effects, it should no tbe brought into U . B. C . until the U. S. Universities are willingto aid in that reform of the game, which many already admi tnecessary . And as these injurious results would affect thewhole University, we consider the argument that the gameshould be allowed, if a section wish to play it, as palpablyridiculous .

MUSIC AND CULTUREThe Musical Society have thie year planned an entertainment

which might well become one of our most valuable traditions . Underthe instruction of an experienced conductor, they are arranging fo ran "Opera Night" at which parts of the better known musica ldramas will be presented in costume, and with the proper stag eeffects . It is to be hoped that students will exert their latent critica lNeale sufficiently to realize that, with the known talent in the Society ,sdd an evening can not help but prove both enjoyable and valuabl yto them .

Music in other Canadian, and even Ameiroan Universities, holdsii` much higher place in the interests of the students that it does atV. B. O. This is not due so much to defloieuces in the Musical Societ yitself—and certainly not at all during the past year—as to a plainlack of education in the average student regarding things musical .By education we do not mean an acquisition of technical knowledg eor even of playing skill, but simply a recognition of the beauty an dthe variety in the world of music, and an appreciation of the skil land the art involved in its creation. There is scarcely to be foun dan . Arts student who did not see St. Joan, and who does not inten dsaris the Players Club's coming production, while there are hun -

ecda who only know Moseivitsch as a Russian name and have notthe slightest urge to attend opera . Yet music is just as high and just

Ufl1 ersal an art, and just as easily appreciated ; while amongs tthose who are really serious in their search for a cultural knowledge ,an active interest in it is as necessary as in the drama .

' We are sure that once the average student realizes the necessityof musical experience, if ever he is to make a serious claim to odium -flea, a worthier patronage of musical events at this University wil lresult. As a step to attaining that end we suggest, in the absenc eof spontaneous attention, a cultivated interest in the work of th eMusical Society, and, particularly of the Opera which they are pre-venting'on Friday night .

WANTED ! COOPERATIONIt seems to be the work of the editorial staff to be forever taking

exception to something, and so once again we wish to register a pro -test . This time it is on a matter that concerns us very closely .

There has been the usual criticism of the "Ubyssey" this year ,,criticism, which to say the least, is thoughtless . The students hav eSnot taken into consideration the fact that this is our first attemp tt issuing a twice-weekly paper, and that added to the . problems in

that connection we are having to edit the paper at the Point unde rentirely new, and rather unsatisfactory conditions . What we needthen, is constructive, aid not destructive criticism, and co-operation .We have asked for this before, with little result . Now we are force dto take drastic action . From now on the following rules will be inforce :

All reporters and secretaries handing in copy must have it in th ehands of the editor by noon of the day following the event . And al lforecasts of events must be in the office by nine o'elo, k. of the daybefore the paper is issued, i .e . Monday and Thursday .

If these rules are not obeyed the offenders must take the conse-quences. Any copy coming in later than this will not be printed .

In most teapots, however,they seem to be more English tha nwe are. One habit which seems quiteprevalent among both students an dfaculty, is that of having afternoo ntea. The weary manipulators o fscientific apparatus retire regularlyto the cafeteria to consume tobacc oand tea, alternately, in the approve dEnglish fashion, This custom, I a mtold, is also quite prevalent through•out the city, The business men andtheir matt have tea every afternoon .

The faculty and students seem toassociate together in a social wa ymuch more than they do here, whichwould seem to be a great advantage.Several members of the faculty whohave not yet given the circular em-blem of slavery to a fair damsel, an dperhaps some who have and are ther mfore anxious to find some peacefulspot on earth, belong to the traterni-tiee .

No B. A. C. DegreesFor the encouragement. of some of

our Christmas graduates I will givehere a bit of news that has leakedout. At the U.H .C. no students re-ceived the B.A.C, (bounced at Christ-mas) degree this year . Whether thisis a tribute to the ability of the stu•dents, or the forbearance o.f the fateulty, you may decide for yourselves ,

Our welcome to the U .B .C. wasmost hearty. They left nothing un •done which would conduce to ou rcomfort and enjoyment while wewere their guests, and we bespeakfor them an exceptionally cordia lwelcome when they come to Saska-toon as our visitors .

The citizens of Vancouver are veryoptimistic as to the city's future.With the further development of trad ewith the Orient they hope to build upa city that will be the envy of Mon-treal and Toronto. If kindness an dhospitality have any effect, they wil llikely be successful. "

GRASS HOCKEY

Varsity grass hockey men lost tothe Burnaby team at Brockton Poin ton Saturday . The score was 8. 2 . Thecollege boys had a bit of hard luck i nthe game, To begin with their goal -keeper did not turn up, having fol-lowed the crowd to the Rugby game,and to cap the show Charlie Wain-man, the star forward, got hit In th eface by the ball and had four teet hloosened. He continued to play bu tBurnaby had the edge all the way .

The fair nurses of our noble institu-tion have caught the spirit of hilaritywhich has possessed the Arts, Aggles ,and Science students during the pas tmonth . Last Tuesday night a goodl ynumb of the future Florence Night-ingales tripped the light tantastie, farinto the night at a (lance which ru-mor pronounces to have been inter-esting both for its beauty and what i sknown as "pop ."

"An Evening with La Fontaine" asthe members of La Causerie designat-ed their last meeting, proved, as usual,to be highly instructive and amusingfor all present . Bernice Barton gav ea paper on the life of La Fontaine,after which four fabler were read bbtBertha Thompson, Altos Myers, MaryReid and Katie Usher, and were Illus-trated by a slowly unfolding menu•script on which were depicted thevarious incidents in the fables .

Annie Taylor and Muriel Roberts,guests of the club, acted "La Cigale e tLa Fourtni ." The French accentswere excellent and the interpretationof the parts all that could be desired .The most amusing feature of the even-ing was a short play "La Coq et leRenard," given by Messrs, Black, Mc-Intyre, McKie and Heelas. The glee-ful crowing of Mr. Black could onlyhave been achieved after long prac-tice and the got loam of the other mem-bers of the oast were very realistic o fthe canine species.

Plans for the admission of ne wmembers were brought forward andIt was decided, as In former years ,that only juniors and seniors wouldbe eligible . A spelling match, inwhich all members of the club willparticipate, was arranged for the nextmeeting.

Miss Mildred Lynn made a charm-ing hostess and an enjoyable eveningdrew to a close after enlightened for -tune tellers had prophesied brigh tfutures In store for all,

Four Students

Killed in Rush

Four students of the Universitywere trampled to death yesterdayafternoon in a crowd which taugh tfor tickets to the Spring Play .

A bystander reports that a memberof the Players' Club was seen to en •ter the Arts building on his wayfrom the cafeteria, counting over hisfew remaining tickets as ho walked .In answer to a question put to him bythe bystander, he said loudly, "Theseare my last tioketsl" Instantly thecrowd which thronged the hall, seisedwith a panic that they might not b eable to secure admittance to thissparking comedy, made a simultane•ous rush for the Players' Club mem-ber, madly thrusting one anotheraside, heedless of the fallen .

The member, due to his quick re•treat to the telephone booth, was ableto keep the mob at bay until th etumult had died down. He thus es •()aped serious injury .

The dead were crushed beyond rec.ognition, and were taken to the Fu-neral Parlors to be claimed, It issuggested that a subscription be tak •en up by the students to erect a mon-ument to the slain, suitably inscribedwith "Pygmalion,—we died for thee!"

Madame DearestIt gives nu+ great pleasure in rising

Secondly, unaccustom-ed as I am to public speaking, I feel I tmy duty to call to your attention, tha tif viewed In an Impartial, unbiase dand prejudiced frame of mind, youcannot but admit that you will be bu tgrasping a great opportunity of im-proving civilization . Madame dear•eat, the choice lies before you, Onthe one hand is folly, failure, andfutility, on the other hand there i sme, '

Being confined to parliamentarylanguage I cannot express myself t othe full concerning my worthy oppon-ents . However, I am bound to stat ethat they are arguing by a false induc-tive method when, from the assump-tion of your charms, which I on behal fof the Affirmative admit to the full ,they erroneously conclude that the yare worthy of your consideration. Istrenuously refute that dastardly im-plication ,

Aristotle, Tutankhamen, BaronMunchausen, and Dr. Sedgewick, intheir monumental works are all ar-ranged on my side to prove my argu-ments, Remember, I pray you, BriffClown's remarks on the nationality o fCleopatra . I challenge my esteeme dopponents to contradict these out-standing lights of immortal genius .

from a difficult angle . Varsity slowedup now, although "Casey" Gasselmanand Johnny McLean were, doing thei rbest to balance the score for theircollege team. It remained at 10-0 ,however at half time .

Varsity came back in the secondhalf with new vim, but their tacklingon the whole was not nearly as goodas shown in the ex-King Georgegames. Prenter, Rep. fullback, o fthe ball and passed to Lange, whogave to Gordie McLean, who slid overfor another three points. Gwythermissed this convert . Varsity beganto fight much harder and made somefine runs, holding the red and whitesin their own ground and struggling a tthe five-yard line. Howard Eatonscored Varsity's only try when, takin ga pass from Harold Kelly and dodg-ing three or four Rep, men, he wentover behind the poete. Caseelma nconverted quite easily.

Vancouver got away again on an-other run with Farmer, Lange an dBoyd, the latter scoring another throefor his team. Gwyther added the ex-tra two and final points of the game ,making the score 18 .6.
