ARTS '20 RELAY RACE IN LIMELIGHT , TRACK CLUB MAKES GRAVE ERRO R Votes to Run Race Eastwar d From Point Grey to Fairvie w We suggest that the Arts '20 Relay be ruin from the site of the , old building at Fairview to the University at Point Grey, The course r i t we advocate would follow the old route with one exception : it 'woul d turn up from Marine Drive to finish opposite the Library . In support of our proposals we present the following arguments . It is commonplace that the race was founded to establish a tradi s tion between the old university and the new, (we use these words to designate the Fairview and the Point Grey foundations) . In the yea r in which the race was founded Arts '20 desired to keep the idea o f the future Point Grey University continually in the minds of stn . ' dents both to assist the campaign when then begun and to enforc e more effectively the central conception of the new university . This at least was one of Arts '20's reasons for inaugurating the Relay . Although the University has since been successfully established a t Point Grey, i t would be well to preserve this tradition ; for traditifin a like institutions are easier to keep than to found . Yet what was the n intended to link the old to the new should now, we think, link th e new to the old . It is Fairview not Point Grey that must be retneip bored and perpetuated . Accordingly the tradition established by th e Arts '20 Relay, and implied by it, demands that the race be run no w from Fairview to Point Grey . The traditional aspect, however, is not the only aspect of thi s question upon which we bei g e nur •claims for the course we have tntlts gested . There is the care of the runners, and the traffic conditions oi l the route . If our proposal is adopted all runners will be at the 'UM- versity when the race finishes, and every runner will have at hi s disposal such training shack facilities as we possess . As to the traffi c problem, if the suggested route be followed all runners will be more or less bunched when crossing Granville Street, the Most seriou s traffic obstacle on the course . This would obviate much of the traffi c difficulty, and co-operation with city motorcycle officers would rende r the rest negligible . Having outlined the two chief advantages of the suggeste d course, we propose to discuss our objections to the route adopted a t the Track Club meeting . In the first place we cannot believe tha t the signi flea nee of the race will be mach enforced by running fro m Point Grey to hail view . We have given our opinion on this aspec t ah()\'O, 8101 need 11I1t 11teell upon it further here . Secondly, the idle . dents thrinselt es, for obvious reasons, would not tee down to Pair - \ 11'‘\' to ‘,( .e the finish of the 1i1)'4 . The end of the rave wools be a fellers both from the spectators' and the runners' points of view . Thirdly, the runners having no training shack facilities would suffe r ninth inconvenience and no inconsiderable harm . A few remarks in conclusion . As for permitting Vancouve r people to see the lame, neither route has any advantage . It must b e remembered that the course we propose is quite arbitrary ; we hav e insisted only upon the direction in which the race should be run, an d the Track Club would work out the details . It might for example , prefer 10th Avenue to Marine Drive and would lay out the lap s accordingly . We wish to recapitulate our position . We insist tha t there are most cogent arguments for running the Arts '20 Relay fro m Fairview to Point Grey instead of .vice versa .

The dances were a s follows ; Red hiding Hood Knows Her Onions ; Bundle of Love ; ; Me Too ; Red Rod Robin ; Moonlight on th e (lunges ; Girl Friend . At its meeting Wednesday, the Track Club decided (withou t neoessity, as will be shown below), to re-establish the annual Arts '20 Relay Race over the original, and only course of 1920 (and year s ,following up to 1926) . That course requires that runners start at a point on Marine Drive near the Point Grey Wireless Station an d follow a defined course to the finish at the intersection of Willo w Street with Twelfth Avenue . Over this course six relays have been run ; in 1921 a record was established for the distance by Sc, '24 o f 86 min . 28 sec . ; a time which was not bettered until 1925, when Art s '27 travelled the approximately 7 .5 miles in 35 min . 29 4/5 sec . Las t ' year the race was not run . History and Significance o f Varsity's Classic Maratho n Tradition of the Rac e In the Spring of 1920, the Senior Arts Class challenged all othe r classes to a relay race, and a course was mapped over which the rac e Wm to be run from the, then, undeveloped site of the present Univer - sity to the temporary buildings in Fairview . The choice of direction , and of the starting and finishing points was not accidental ; it was , on the contrary, significant and timely, and expressive of an intens e Interest, then held by every student, in the relation of Fairview to th e undeveloped tract of land on which was to be built a new university . While, in the beginning, these starting and finishing points wore chosen only because students felt they had a peculiar interest in both , it was inevitable, in view of later developments, that the truly dee p significance of the race should become more apparent until it is a t present, practically self-evident ; briefly the race became symbolic o f the fact that students of those days had, in Point Grey, ties whic h the runners tightened every year ; the runner on the first lap "hande d on" to succeeding runners, an actual contact with the site of the ne w university a contact which was carried into Fairview to the waitin g students ; every year the race had its effect of reminding the studen t body that it was to come into its own in Point Grey . For this reaso n the race became more, to students, than a race, and its unique signifi- cance reached its highest expression in the spring of 1925, the las t time it was run before its promise was realized . In the fall of tha t year, the University of British Columbia was permanently establishe d in Point Grey . No Race in Spring of 192 6 We have mild abet'(', "Last year the race lies not run ."

ARTS '20 RELAY RACE IN LIMELIGHT ,TRACK CLUB MAKES GRAVE ERRO R

Votes to Run Race Eastward

From Point Grey to Fairview

We suggest that the Arts '20 Relay be ruin from the site of the ,

old building at Fairview to the University at Point Grey, The course

rit

we advocate would follow the old route with one exception : it 'would

turn up from Marine Drive to finish opposite the Library. In supportof our proposals we present the following arguments .

It is commonplace that the race was founded to establish a tradis

tion between the old university and the new, (we use these words todesignate the Fairview and the Point Grey foundations) . In the yearin which the race was founded Arts '20 desired to keep the idea of

the future Point Grey University continually in the minds of stn . 'dents both to assist the campaign when then begun and to enforc

e more effectively the central conception of the new university. Thisat least was one of Arts '20's reasons for inaugurating the Relay

. Although the University has since been successfully established at

Point Grey, i t would be well to preserve this tradition ; for traditifinalike institutions are easier to keep than to found . Yet what was then

intended to link the old to the new should now, we think, link th enew to the old. It is Fairview not Point Grey that must be retneip•bored and perpetuated. Accordingly the tradition established by theArts '20 Relay, and implied by it, demands that the race be run nowfrom Fairview to Point Grey .

The traditional aspect, however, is not the only aspect of thi squestion upon which we beig e nur •claims for the course we have tntltsgested. There is the care of the runners, and the traffic conditions oi lthe route. If our proposal is adopted all runners will be at the 'UM-versity when the race finishes, and every runner will have at hisdisposal such training shack facilities as we possess. As to the traffic

problem, if the suggested route be followed all runners will be moreor less bunched when crossing Granville Street, the Most serioustraffic obstacle on the course . This would obviate much of the traffi cdifficulty, and co-operation with city motorcycle officers would rende rthe rest negligible .

Having outlined the two chief advantages of the suggestedcourse, we propose to discuss our objections to the route adopted a tthe Track Club meeting. In the first place we cannot believe tha tthe signi flea nee of the race will be mach enforced by running fro mPoint Grey to hail view . We have given our opinion on this aspec tah()\'O, 8101 need 11I1t 11teell upon it further here . Secondly, the idle .dents thrinselt es, for obvious reasons, would not tee down to Pair -\ 11'‘\' to ‘,( .e the finish of the 1i1)'4 . The end of the rave wools be afellers both from the spectators' and the runners' points of view .Thirdly, the runners having no training shack facilities would suffe rninth inconvenience and no inconsiderable harm.

A few remarks in conclusion . As for permitting Vancouverpeople to see the lame, neither route has any advantage . It must beremembered that the course we propose is quite arbitrary ; we haveinsisted only upon the direction in which the race should be run, an dthe Track Club would work out the details . It might for example ,prefer 10th Avenue to Marine Drive and would lay out the lap saccordingly . We wish to recapitulate our position . We insist thatthere are most cogent arguments for running the Arts '20 Relay fro mFairview to Point Grey instead of .vice versa. We have discussedthe arguments in favor of this proposal, and have suggested an obvi-ous course. We wish to repeat our statement of some time ago, tha tthe whole question is of such importance that it should be settledfinally this term. In view of idiot we have said, and in view of a,considerable agreement we have expressed with their views we hopethat the Track Club will re-open the question at another meeting .

At its meeting Wednesday, the Track Club decided (without

neoessity, as will be shown below), to re-establish the annual Arts '20

Relay Race over the original, and only course of 1920 (and years

,following up to 1926) . That course requires that runners start at a

point on Marine Drive near the Point Grey Wireless Station and

follow a defined course to the finish at the intersection of WillowStreet with Twelfth Avenue. Over this course six relays have been

run ; in 1921 a record was established for the distance by Sc, '24 of

86 min . 28 sec . ; a time which was not bettered until 1925, when Arts

'27 travelled the approximately 7.5 miles in 35 min . 29 4/5 sec. Last

' year the race was not run.

History and Significance ofVarsity's Classic Marathon

Tradition of the Rac eIn the Spring of 1920, the Senior Arts Class challenged all other

classes to a relay race, and a course was mapped over which the rac e

Wm to be run from the, then, undeveloped site of the present Univer -

sity to the temporary buildings in Fairview . The choice of direction ,

and of the starting and finishing points was not accidental ; it was ,on the contrary, significant and timely, and expressive of an intense

Interest, then held by every student, in the relation of Fairview to the

undeveloped tract of land on which was to be built a new university .

While, in the beginning, these starting and finishing points wore

chosen only because students felt they had a peculiar interest in both ,

it was inevitable, in view of later developments, that the truly deep

significance of the race should become more apparent until it is a t

present, practically self-evident ; briefly the race became symbolic of

the fact that students of those days had, in Point Grey, ties which

the runners tightened every year ; the runner on the first lap "handed

university a contact which was carried into Fairview to the waiting

time it was run before its promise was realized . In the fall of that

year, the University of British Columbia was permanently establishe d

in Point Grey .

No Race in Spring of 1926

We have mild abet'(', "Last year the race lies not run." Student s

may or may not ri call that the expressed iiitenti()n of the Tr i ad( CPO )

to re-route the Arts '20 Relay Race, was last Spring attacked in

these eolumnm We (h) not intend, here, to rehearse the argument s

readers may judge how nearly last year's "back-woods circuit run "

approximated the nature of the Point Grey-Fairview marathon ; an d

so agree with our statement "Laid year the race was not run . "

Faith Broken With Arts '20

Last year, then, the Trade Club merely tried to foist upon th e

student body a nameless race of their own devising and filched for i t

'the name of the Arts ' 20 Relay . '[' hey had absolutely no right to do

so ; the Arts '20 Relay must be run over He set course, and must b e

RELAY REMARKS

To the Editor ,Ubyesey ,

University of B, C.Pear Sir :

The Arts '20 Relay Course has bee nchanged again . At a meeting on Wed -nesday the students wont in favor o frunning the Arts '20 classic over Itsoriginal course. This course startsat the present University and finishesat the Old University in Fairview .This is the course to be followed thisyear according to the decision reach-ed by the students on Wednesdaylast . While we are strongly In favorof staging the race between the twoUniversity sites, we are convince dthat it should not be run from Poin tGrey to Fairview, but from Fairviewto the present University .

The argument may be abvance dthat this is not the Arts 20 Relayany more than last years course. Butis it not the logical outcome of ou rremoval to Point (trey? We feel surethat Arts '20 would agree with usupon this point. Anyone who objectsto the hills involved by reversing th eold course should drop running as asport and take up dominoes.

There are several other argumentsin favor of reversing the origina lcourse . From the competitors poin tof view the original course would hav emany objections. After running aheart-breaking lap the runner wouldhave to travel over to Fairview tosee the finish and come all the wayback to Point Grey before getting ashower and being able to dress . Thisis very undesirable . From the poin tof view of students and faculty theoriginal course has drawbacks .

Students cannot be blamed for no twanting to travel over to Fairview tosee the finish, and this attitude woul dcertainly apply to the majority of th estudents . Therefore, as we see it ,the only course for the Arts '20 Re -lay Is to revers() the original cours eas far as possible and above all t ohave It finish at the present buildings ,

SASKATOON AS OURDEBATERS SAW IT

"That, " our Greeter said, after webad been properly introduced an dwere beaded for the residence, Is theWoolworth Building ." "Oh yea," Iaaid, . trying to catch a glimpse of abuilding through the pieces of ice onthe car window. "And this is theSaskatchewan River ." "Oh yes," Isaid again,—silently noticing that yo ucould never tell it was a river, excep tfor the fact that there were no tree sgrowing on it . It was all snowy andnot like the rest of the surroundingcountry . "Now we are crossing Uni-versity Bridge—the main road to th eCampus ." "Ours Isn't a bridge ." Isaid . "It would be it there was a rive runderneath it• • • I mean if we werehere - • that is - - " I decided to mak econversation by talking about th enew lights that had been put up in -Stead .

We awoke next morning as a resul tof what might have been anythingfrom a nightmare to a fire alarm . I thappened to be the breakfast gong ,a triangular piece of steel that yo uhit with a rod . It must have been 1n -vented by some scheming Scienc emen, (who get up for breakfast) ,simply to worry the Arts men, (whodon't) . Theme latter, however ar eused to It now, and sleep in until thei ralarm goes of at quarter to nine .

A tour of the buildings that day re-vealed a material Institution some -what more advanced than our own .A College Building, with an midi .torium,--pardon me . a Convocatio nhall,- .- .and a library under its rac y ;a physics building, an engineerin gbuilding, a theolog' college, a powerhouse and a Chemistry Building tha tsmells like the second floor of ourScience Building, and has a largerlecture room than Arts 100, with th eseats going up at a much steeperangle. I hope I make myself clear .Those buildings are all made of ston eand are permanent .

Compulsory physical training, ex-cept for seniors, is part of the curric-ulum at Saskatchewan . Tho Seniorsare said to get their exercise in othe rways. The scheme, however, is agood one, especially since the gym •naslum is located right on the Cam -pus . A physical director is part o ftheir faculty . Inter-faculty basket .ball leagues—both men and women-- -take the place of our inter-clas sevents, as the college there has som eseven faculties .

CorrespondenceTo the Editor, Ubyssey ,Dear Sir :

May I draw your attention to atats-statement in your otherwise In-teresting account of the Maoris? The ywere not "a conquered people", bu twere annexed by Britain, peacably ,at their own oft•reapeated request an dfor their own protection .

Yours truly,J . B . WYMAN .

January 26, 1927 .The Editor, "The Ubyssey . "

Will you be so kind as to publis hthis humble epistle, drawing attentionto the lamentable state of affairstinder which some of its have to labor .

Due to the fact that there is an in .sufficient number of lockers in whichto hang up our clothes, we are forcedto lay them in the upper commonroom. if we lay them on a chair theyare carelessly thrown helter-skelter o nthe floor by some thoughtless student ;If we lay them neatly on the floo rthey are kicked aside and scatteredall over the common room. Cannotsomething be clone ?

We suggest a couple of rows of coa tpegs similar to those in the librarybasement or anything of this natur esuitable .

Yours t r uly ,Owners of Nattered Clothes .

So far the major dunces are th eArts, Aggie, and the Science in theFall and Spring . Men only, rid them •selves of their hard earned shekel sfor the privilege of taking one of th efair sex of this Institution to the affair .Why should there not be given ever yLeap Year i .e . once every four years ,it (lance by the Women's Undergradu-ate Society, tickets to he sold only t othe girls .

CHEMISTRY SOCIE1 Y\ (ewes! sleeting of the Chemistr y

4otiety was held on Wednesday after .noon In roonn Sc. 117. iV1t', Lyl eStraight delivered a very Iutereslin rtool well prepared paper on "'l'tu' Pol-arity of the Halogens,' tracing th edevelopment of the subject since thework of Noyes In 1901 . The pape rwas followed by a lively discussion,

Pres. Oliver Gives

Convention Report

At A.M.S. Meeting

Miss Dorothy Brown presided ove rthe first Alma Mater meeting of th eterm, hold on Monday noon, at whichMr. Horace Seymour of the Tow nPlanning Committee, Mr. John Oliverand Mr. Harold McWilliams addressedthe students .

Mr . Seymour, who was speaking fo rthe Town Planning Committee of thecity, wished to Interest the student sIn the "traffic count ." He reportedthat tt'ame Is bottoming no congeste dIn the city that It hi necessary tohave it under bettor control .

Mr. Oliver then gave n report of theConvention of the Camulian Nat tona lPoderatlott of University Student'sheld at Montreal In the Christma sholidays, and outlined the par .pose of the Federation, which ,In general, Is to overcome racial andeconomic differences, to create a bet.ter understanding amongst universl •ties throughout Canada, and to stimti •We interest within the universitiesthotnmelvos . The students, Mr. Oliverstated, are becoming tired of loca lInter•colleglate sport, but that gameswith

distant

universities alway sarouse Interest. It was thereforeplanned that teams from the differen tuniversities should travel across Can .ada competing with the variou scolleges. Different teams wouldtravel once or twice a year, but nodefinite schedule would be drawn up .The Federation will also enable the .nnlverslties to learn methods of Stu -dent control used In the different tint-verslties. Mr. Oliver said that unlik ethis university, which can observe themethods used In the Pacific Coastuniversities, the eastern colleges hav enot the same opportunities to observ eStudent control .

in a student organization such a sthis, where continual cross countr ytravelling will be necessary, the rail-road rates are of the greatest impor•tttnce . Unofficial promises, of cheap-er student rates have been made ,which rated might also be extendedto all travelling university students .Moreover the Federation would organ-ize student tours to Europe similar t othose conducted from England ever yyour .

Textbooks would be bought on co -operative methods, which need no tresult in their standardization, bu twould merely make them consider-ably cheaper.

The Federation 1s to be financed b ya twenty-five dollar initiation fromeach university, and a six and ono-hal fcent per capita charge, for each stu-dent above the first hundred enrol-ment .

National Scholarships will be givento create a feeling of fellowship amon gthe students . There will also he a nexchange of undergraduates, onto pe rcent. of third year students goingfrom the smelier universities to th ela rger and vice versa .

Referring to the C .E.I ., in Europe ,Mr. Oliver explained that his organi-zation is comprised of all the universi-ties except those of Italy and Russia .America Is now applying for member -;;hip, anti Canada will probably he ad-nlited in iww yPers .

'rht're hill h „t Vtlt'e lntermt tli ;tte s('hnlarlihll)s fa rhost graduate study in any universit yunder the (' .1.I? .

Mr . Oliver stated that at the Con-ference there had been no false en-thusiasm, that, in fact, the interes twas at that hostile. The difficultie swere seen and were looked at ration -ally . Temporary officers were chosen .Mr. Oliver then read the Constitutio nand it was accepted unanimously bythe students .

Mr. McWilliams then presented th eFinancial Report as prepared at De-cetnher 31, 1926. The adoption of th ereport. was moved by Mr. GeraldStevens and seconded by Mr. HarrySeed and was accepted by the stu-dents 'rhn meeting then adjourned .

TRADITIONS 1It was In the year A.D. 6032, five

hundred years after the War thatWrecked Civilisation, A swarm o fhalf naked savages were lining th ebeaten track that stretch Itit'011g11 thewilderness from Point Oroy lo Fair.view ,

From time to tins the tom-tomsbroke into a crescendo of frenzy .Bearded priests gesticulated madly I nfront of the excited horde and soresm •ed wild words that had survived as ameaningless ritual from the dim t'e •asses of the Past, "KilsilunoKapulano Slwaskaw!" Young urah.Ins perched on the moss grown ruin sof what had once been full of curiousbundles of thin white sheets, and ha dbeen looked upon for ages as theInviolable Place of Silence under Ta-boo. Others perched above a pit ful lof white slabs that was regarded as aburial place of poisoned thousands .Still others climbed above the tradi-tional refuse it which was full o rrotting pieces of round tables, an dbore an almost Illegible and quiteuntranslatable notice, "• - ens- Cent-o nR•-m. "

The crowd stretched for miles an dended at a few charred beanie androtting timbers that legend reveale dwas the home of a race of mightymen who had suddenly migrated to .ward the West . At intervals of abou ta mile stood anxious groups of youth uclad in loin cloths and bearing myster•Ioum symbols such as 28, 27, 30 Ag ,and Sc . All were nervously glancingtowards the West as if in great ex-pectation .

A group of young men, similarl yattired were couched in a line at thewestern end of the track, each bear-ing a short stick painted in fantasti cstripes .

The King of the People, ChiefJonioliva XXII!, raised his hand andshouted "Go!" Immediately th eyouths ran at full speed along thetrail, accompanied by the excite dhowls of the horde of savages .

Such is the result of starting aTradition !

Wild Profs, I Have

Sc .—Is slowly filling with P-- . Ielutiettts, There Is no very vlo •lent oagerneNS on the part of theNludetlti to reach their Heat suntil a short, thlckleh man In a greytweed milt appears at one of thedoors.

The proressor approaches the lec-ture table, places his right elbowupon It and allows his massive browto rest upon his hand. Ho extend shis left arm and firmly grasps thetable-edge. The lecture opens . Th eeyes behind the professor's glasse sstray over the class, quelling here a nIncipient smile, there the beginning ofa whisper ,

Ho dictates his notes In a slow ,solemn voice, emphasizing his Im-portant remark', by the statementthat this is "Dig Stuff! "

As the lecture progresses the lee.Neer raises his broad brow fromhis hand and with this now disen •gaged hand, he seizes his coat lape land rune his thumb up and down th eback thereof, as one searching for apin, With his left hand he toys neg .llgently with the apparatus spread ou tbelow him upon the table ,

Midway In his lecturing he sudden-ly snaps out "All right, take half -time," At this extraordinary remarkevery member of the class arises an dstretches violently . After these ex-ertions they subside and the lecturepi ' oceetis ,

At the end of each note the lectur-er remarks, "All right," in a des-pondent. tone of voice that indicate sthat all Is wrong and that there isvery little hope ,

At times he fires an obscure ques-tion at Individuals of the class, an dpasses from student to student It, avein :search to get an answer frame dIn the exact terms he wants—an dthen wonders why the, rising genera .tion is so obtuse . He very politel yfinishes all his commands with therequest "Will you?" The bell rings ,and the professor, apparently as re-lieved as the class, dismisses It al -most immediately with his blessing .

HOW IT STARTED

The Philistine all-star team washard pressing the Israel first fifteen ."Red" Saul, captain of the home teamwas In despair, Hls chief source o fwoe was the opposing full back ,"Bruiser" Goliath who had causedmore than one of the Ist'aotltes to becarried to the drossing•room .

"Bruiser" was in his glory, "Com eon, you shrimps," he yelled, "I'l lsmash any one of you single-handed . "No one accepted this kind invitation ,as the game was tar rougher in thosedays than It is now,

At last the whistle blew for half •time, but Goliath stayed on the field ,shouting insulting challenges to hisopponents, "Do you want a fight? "ho yelled . "Come out and give m eopposition . The florists need Meek -elm "

"Young" David, an Insignifican tlooking member of the third linescrum could stand it no longer . Hepicked up his slingshot and steppe dout into the field .

The Bruiser grabbed part of th egoal post and rushed at his adversary.

David took careful aim, and sen ta stone at Goliath's head . It bouncedoff "Bruisers" forehead and droppedto the ground . "You can take it fromme," said David grimly ,

Scalpings

There is a little note placed in afairly prominent position . In the Caf-eteria requesting that seats should bevacated as soon as the meal Is fin-ished. This is particularly asked i nthe "rush hours", that is, between11 .30 and 12.30, and includes peoplewho dine before 12 o'clock.

As matters stand, two-thirds of theCat . Is full of fair young ladies, whouse the space as a sort of Women'sBuilding or School for Scandal oranything else but a dining room . Theycome RI the rush hour and refuse tovacate their seats until at least 1 5minutes after they have finished theirprotracted meals .

In addition, they reserve seats forthemselves by tilting their chairs o rpiling books on the table, and woebetide the unfortunate student wh odares to Interfere with their "rights . "

All this is very well, but It i sslightly annoying to carry a tra yaround looking for it seat while th eroom Is crowded with people whohave brought their own lunches anddo not have to wait their turn .

More "college spirit" needed !

Maori Athletes i nPerfect Condition

The Maoris breezed In to town las tnight at 7.80 and were welcomed bythe Vancouver and Varsity teams .Physically the Maoris certainly liv eup to advance press notices, bein gabout the huskiest crew of athletesseen in Vancouver for many, manymoons. Thair general appearanceleaves the Impressions that NowZealand tailors need use little pad-ding but must reinforce the seams Inmaking their suits . They state tha tthey have had wonderful reception sall the way across Canada and par-ticularly enjoyed the Banff Winte rCarnival . All the men are in perfectcondition and promise to administe rthe heaviest coat of whitewash t othe Vancouver Rep since the All-Blacks cavorted at the Point .

To-morrow at noon the Varsit yteam will round off their trainin gwith it light workout . For the lastfour weeks the men have undergon ethe most strenuous training progra mof the season, including outdoor prac-tices, gyms, workouts and roadwork ,Cast Wednesday's practice was th eclimax of the training seh pduh . ,nt a going through it high speed te . ohour drill . The coaches declare them-selves satisfied that every man Is i nthe pink of condltioin with no chanc eof going stale . They believe tha tafter weathering the practices of thelast two weeks in snow and slush o na hard frozen fleld,'the men are toug henough to wipe the grass with anyfifteen-man aggregation on earth .

The Varsity team has not yet bee nchosen, the final choice dependin glargely on the style of play adopte dby the Maoris. Certain men woul dbe of most use if the Maoris plan akicking offensive, while other possi-bilities would be of more value i ncase of a forward or passing attack .All the squad and the coaches wil lattend the Vancouver-Maorf Rame to -morrow afternoon to familiarize them -selves with the Maori play . After thegame the team will hold a confer-ence to decide the most effective man-ner to cope with the Maori attack .A three day period of complete re-laxation will follow this before th eMaoris kick off Wednesday afternoon .

Granger will address a squa dof puck chasers at the University to-day, on the right system bt attack an ddefense, He lives right near thearena and can make the Varsity turn •outs. When interviewed yesterda yon the possibllity of making hockey alive Issue at the University, he wasquite enthuslustic . Ile says thatVarsity could turn out teams tha twould make any of them step If theywill undertake the right steps nex tyear . He will attempt to systematiz ethe workouts this your and lay thefoundation of a groat season nex tyear. According to him, Varsitymust be allowed more than fortyminutes practice by the Arena officialsas he believes that condition in th egreatest factor in hockey, The boy sat the present time, he said, woul dbe 100 per cont . better if they coul dget two practices in each week Insteadof the one they are now getting .Varsity can now only play a defensiv egame and thus they can never bea scoring aggregation . He is strongon the theory of lectures on tactics toplayers. When they get on the leeor field that much time is saved .

Varsity forwards are undaunted b ythe fact that they are greatly out -weighed by the New Zealanders ; forthe Varsity pack has been outweigh-ed in every game this season, yet hasalways had the advantage. TheMaoris are not only heavy but ar ereputed to be very fast and aggres-sive. Jack Tyrwhitt, therefore, turn-ed track coach and has been puttin gthe forwards tlYrough r. series o fsprints for the last month, achievingremarkable success in the speed ofthe scrum as a whole . Noble and Sin-clair will play outside where thei rspeed in breaking away may be count-ed on to spoil many Maori backfiel dplays, while the tackling ability o fMahon and Morris places them in -side. Several hooks are in Ilne forthe three front line positions, al lhaving given neat exhibitions durin grecent practices . The anlouut or scot .ins; done l :y Varshy %alit depend most -Iy lurch the regularity with whic hthese tuutks reed the backs .

The Varsity backfield will have thebulk of tho tackling to do for theMaori backs are the dangerous men ,All the Varsity backs are sure tackl-ers, but whether they can cope wit hthe speed of the Maori backfield re -mains to be seen. Eaton Is concede dto be the fastest man in local rugb yand much interest is taken in how h rwill compare with the visitors . TheMaoris are very spectacular in thei rruns, hurdling and wedge bucks be-ing features which need excellen ttacklers to block successfully. Allthe backs have had stiff tackling prat -flees and will undoubtedly show th eresults when the Maori attack begins .

Or MacInnes' prospects for being en-tertained at fullback yea* s could b ewritten . Probably every red-bloodedman in Varsity has felt envious o fMacInnes In McKechnle ('up game swhen sterling play brought him rous-ing applause, but. It Is extti . mel ydoubtful whether there is a soul hiVarsity who would care to fill Spike' sshoes on Wednesday afternoon .

Council Arranges

Maoris Programme

U. B. C,'s share in the entertainmen tof the Maoris during their visit toVancouver was the chief business dis-cussed at the meeting of the Students 'Council on Monday, January 24 . Thisis to be left for the most part in thehands of the Rugby Club, but theMaoris are to attend the Arts '29 Clas sparty on January 29, and the basket -ball dance after the games with Vic-toria on February 5 .

The constitution of the Tam•O-Shan •ter, the women's rooters club, whic hhuh just been formed in conjunctio nwith the Women's Athletic Associa-tion, was read. The main clause wa sthat women wore to join in withorganised rooting by the men .

Thu Senior H basketball team wa sgivers leave to make u trip to Pentic-ton and Kelowna, the expense to b easaunied by the basketball club ,

A special dance, to be held for theMaoris, was suggested by Mlss Brown .As there were very few availabledates for such a function, the ide awas abandoned, Finally the offer ofArts '29 to Invite the Maoris and th eVarsity rugby team to their class part ywas accepted . An amount of $66 wa sgranted to Arts '29 to cover the addi-tional expenditure,

There was a difference of opinionalso, about the number of guests tha tshould be Invited to the dance o nFebruary 5, and who should supervis eit . A motion was put through tha tthe number of guests should be limit-ed to the Maoris, the Varsity Rugb yteam, and the Victoria teams, an dthe dance should be conducted by th eBasketball and Rooters' Clubs . Theadvisability of limiting the number a tthe dance was discussed, but such astop was found to be impossible owin gto the difficulty of charging two ad -mission fees, one for the dance an done for the game. The dance will beheld as usual In the Normal Gym .and no one but guests will be allowedto cut in on dances .
