DEBATING FOR VARSITY ON MONDAYXMAS CONCERTPROVES VERY

SUCCESSFULMusical Society Maintaj~►

High Standard (X

The ninth annual Christmas concer tof the University Musical Society, giv-en last Saturday evening in the Kin gEdward High School auditorium,proved a decided success and delight-ed the large audience of students andmembers . of the general public wh owere fortunate enough to be present .

The most impressive numbers, thos eof the Glee Club, were especially en-joyed, from the opening number ,Lohr's "Slumber Song," to the ca-pable, refined and yet spirited render-ing of Alfred Gaul's "Daybreak." Asympathetic and careful treatment o fGaynor's delicate "Slumber Boat" wo ngreat favor with the audience and wa srepeated . Modulation, control and a nexcellent tempering of tone, in whic hthe men's alto section were especiall ycommendable, made for artistic an ddistinctive effects in these offerings .The men's section, as in previou syears, had to make up in quality fora noticeable lack of volume.

The Orchestra, though handicappedby a scarcity of wind and a contrast-ing abundance of violins, yet achievedpleasing effects, as that of flow andprecision by careful attention to thepeculiar rhythm of Luigini's "Egypt-ian Ballets," and brightness and firein two numbers from "L'Arlesienne "of Dizet. Mr. Wilbur Grant, the So-ciety's excellent conductor, obtaine dprompt response to his skilful guid-ance .

The work of assisting student mu-sicians was of particularly high stand-ard this year. Miss Rose Marin cap-tivated her audience with a brillian tinterpretation of Max Vogrich ' s "Stac-cato Caprice " and an almost fllawles srendering of the well-known "Lieb-straum." Almost equally popular wasthe spirited playing of Robyn's "Pan-quita, " a violin-clarinet-flute trio, giv-en by Messrs . Kania, Lucas and Todd .A. novel and very pleasing duet ar-rangement of Lieurance ' s popular na-ture study, "By the Waters of Minnet-onka," was sung by Miss KathleenBaird and Mr. Carl Barton, the combin-ed violin and piano accompanimentadding greatly to the charm of thearrangement . A violin duet, Labitz-ki's "The Herd Girl's Dream," byMiss Alice Metz and Mr. J. Kania,proved a very intelligent and gracefu lrendering of an ever-popular number .Solo numbers were also given withsuch success as to require encores .Miss Gertrude Dowsley, pianist, con-tributed the Schubert-Liszt transcrip-tion of "Hark, Hark, the Lark," andMiss Lillian Reid, soprano, Alex . Mac-Fadyen's "Love is the Wind," whileMiss Alice Metz also rendered a "Pier -rot Serenade" of Randegger. Thework of Miss Dowsley as accompanis tto the Orchestra, and Miss Ida Kerr,for the Glee Club, was also especiallycommendable.

In spite of the scarcity of studen ttenors and wind-instrument players ,the Society have been able to presen tan excellent concert.

They have tackled the labo rof preparatory debates with local an dVictoria teams during the last mont hin order to receive all the practicepossible before the big night arrived .

Surely we can spare a couple o fhours to go and add moral suppor tand confidence by our numbers .

A debate of this kind is one of theoutstanding events in the scholasti cactivities of any University . It iseven more than usually unique in it simportance at U . B. C., since we are ,this year, almost isolated from inter-collegiate debates .

University, don't miss this.It will be no one-sided affair. Our

speakers are not inexperienced andhave built up excellent reputations forthemselves during past years as wel las in the last month . The Oxford sys-tem mixes the speakers of both col-leges, anyway. A hot and even battl eis inevitable . Don't miss it .

Even if you don't give a hoot abouteconomic problems—or about collegespirit—for that matter, don't miss thi sopportunity of listening to distinguish-ed Englishmen with brilliant record sfor power, fire and finish in thei roratory.

Miss Rutherford Also Speaks

The S . C . M. held two meetings dur-ing the past week, one on Sunday andthe other last Monday . At the formermeeting, Dean Coleman gave a short,intimate talk on the problems ofhigher education and religion, em-phasizing his points by example sdrawn from his own life . He showedthat the problems the student is re-quired to face to-day are not in an yfundamental way different from thos eof his own student days. He claime dthat the most important tool necessaryin studying any such problem, whethe rthat of religion or economics, of capita land labor or world peace, was sincer-ity .

After Dean Coleman's address, Mis sRutherford, Canadian Seeretauly ofthe S . C. M., lead a discussion on th esubject, "What is Religion? "

Freshies—don't neglect your French ,you may need it some day . This isno platitude, but an actual fact—thebitter experience of the team tha twent over to Victoria last week.

Of the trio that went to Victoria,Kobe was the only one to wake u pearly enough to get his breakfast inVancouver . Imagine, therefore, th efeelings of both Craig and Dunn whenthey discovered that the C. P . R. lunchmenu was printed in French . NowKobe's French was "non est," Craig' sa thing of the past, and Dunn's whollyinadequate .

The result therefore was a word ydebate (not on the original program )as to the comparative merits of Bee fau Gumbo, and Epigramme de Lamb.All speakers were slightly, though notappreciably handicapped by the fac tthat they had not the slightest ide awhat they were talking about .

Eventually, in order to prevent thatsinking feeling, the epigramme wo nout.

In French, we afterwards found out ,Epigram means "finish." It showsthat the French are not such awfulfools after all .

That epigram was almost the finishof its victims . In fact we have it onunreliable authority that the C . P. R.was bribed by Victoria College .

Therefore, little freshies, learnFrench, lest you, when you debat eagainst Victoria College next spring(if you do), should fall premature andinnocent victims of the Epigramme ,or even Beef au Gumbo, whateve rthat is .

The lattergame was a big improvement on theformer, there being considerably moreteam-work on the part of both teams .The Liberals had the edge throughoutthe fracas and were somewhat un-lucky not to get better than a tie wit hthe collegians . Purdy scored the Var-sity's points on a free kick from thetwo-bit line . Farmer scored the Lib-eral try and was given a big hand-outby the crowd for his effort .

Varsity fought their way up an -other notch in the First ivisio nLeague table when they took th eNorth Shore United into camp by a3 hletic Park enclos-ure last Saturday. The game wa shard fought as the score indicated ,and in the first stanza it looked asthough the North Van eleven weregoing to grab two points at the Var-sity's expense. But Chubb Arnott' shuskies staged a great comeback i nthe last period, and due to two bril-liant goals scored by Rex Cameronand Tanny Butler, and to stellar de -fence tactics, the students emerge don the long end of the score .

Shooting down hill in the first cantothe suburbanites had it all over Var-sity, and their sharpshooters bom-barded King from all angles whilstLavery, the North Van. custodian, wasstamping his feet to keep warm. Theefforts of the losers vanguard wereat length rewarded when Thompso nscored on a pot shot, that appeared tocatch King unawares . With only afew minutes left Auchinvole receive dthe ball and sent in a shot that wa sgoing wide, but the North Shore backcame to his assistance and deflecte dthe ball from his head into the net,completely fooling Lavery who ex-pected the pigskin at the other en dof the goal.

After the interval Varsity came tolife, and in only a few minutes RexCameron eluded Lawn and McInnis ,and scored with a shot that had Laverybeaten to a standstill.

After this reverse the North sider sredoubled their efforts and end to endplay was the order of the day for th erest of the fracas . Russell brough tthe stands to their feet when he beatKing with a fast low shot and tie dthe count. But in only a short tim eTanny Butler scored the winning goa lfor Varsity when he connected with abeautiful cross sent over by Emery .

Varsity's defence worked overtim eto keep the losers forwards out anddid so in a most effective manner .Crute and Phillips were outstanding .Baker and Ledingham bottled up theright wing forwards very nicely whilstButler, Buckley and Cameron provedto be good mud larks . Emery andWilkinson formed an effective lef twing in the last half. Auchinvole ha sa wicked shot when he gets the chanc ebut he needs feeding .

Clog Game SaturdayLa Saturday at the Y . M. C. A .

Varsity Senior A beat the Westminste rY in the most thrilling game of th eseason. With only one minute to gothe Royals were one point up whe n"Dad" Hartley, Varsity's centre score dthe winning basket from centre floor .The game ended with the score 22-21 .

Varsity had the game mostly in thei rown hands in the first period . Hartleywas in fine form and was largely re-sponsible for the success of the U. B.C . team. The second half saw West-minster staging a rally ; they almostpulled the game from the fire. Theclosing moments of the game foun dboth teams fighting strenuously forthe lead.

In winning last Saturday's game ,Varsity showed a reversal of theirpoor form displayed the previous week.If they continue their splendid tea mwork they should give the other team sa run for the championship .

arsity ootball teams had a goodweek-end. e U. B . C . Miller Cupsquad improved greatly on theirleague standing, and the weakenedVarsity fifteen did well to tie th ePoliticians in the absence of Lang eand Brock. Varsity's first soccereleven exceeded expectations whe nthey beat the North Shore Elks, as th esuburbanites have a very strong team .

Brit Brock might well be called"Grit rock as he went on playingwith a broken rib in the ThanksgivingMcKechnie Cup encounter . Lange wastaking chances also as he developedblood poisoning symptons before thegame which later necessitated his re-moval to the hospital . Both Brock andLange will be out of the game fo rabout a month or so, but should b eavailable for the next McKechniegame .

Team work is most desirable in anysport, but you've got to hand it to th eindividual player when he wins a gam efor his team. "Dad" Hartley turnedin a stellar performance in a Senior"A" basketball game last Saturday,and won the game by a single pointwhen he scored with only a few sec-onds to go.

Canadian rugby enthusiasts met las tweek and judging by the interestshown, the game should get a holdhere this year. There is no reaso nwhy the followers of the English cod eshould be antagonistic to the gam ethat is played by all the big Universi-ties in Canada. Both games shoul dbe able to get along allright togetherat U. B. C. and if the majority stillwant to play English rugby, the Can-adian game will continue to be aminor sport. But the club should b erecognized by the Men's Athletics . I fit is not recognized the new game i snot getting a fair show .

Defeat For SecondsThe Varsi y second soccer

is lc 3-1 trimmingby the C. Electric_ team at Trimbl ePark ofi"S tnrday. U. B. C. has noalibis to offer.

Despite the fact that for thre equarters of the first half the B . C .Electric squad never got beyon dcentre, the Varsity forward line failedto score, passing up opportunitiesgalore . This more than anything con-tributed to the latter's defeat.

Whenever the car men came nea rthe U . B. C . goal they were dangerous ,their centre half and centre forwar dstarred . Nowcombe worked hard onthe forward line as did Alsbury. Halftime found the score sheet blank .

At the beginning of second hal fVarsity started off in a reformed man-ner and McLuckie soon scored prettil yfor the first count of the game . Thislead, however, was short lived forSweeten, the opposing centre, soon pu tthe teams on even terms with a lon gshot that Sutherland did not even at -tempt to handle . Warden and Robert -son made it 3-1, when they miskicke don two occasions in front of goal .

EDITOR FOR THE WEE KEarle Birne y

A RES ACADEMICA ECloser attention to studies seems t o

have been the keynote of this term.Students of the University are gradu-ally beginning to realize just what aUniversity is for, thanks to the man ywarnings of the faculty and the Stud-ents' Council.

Sports and other activities should ,and do, play a great part in our live sat college—but they should never beplaced before studies. Unfortunatel yduring the past few years, such ha sbeen the case, and the result has in -variably been a large Christmas with-drawal of incompetent students .

According to all signs, the exodu sshould be considerably smaller thi syear than in any other. The libraryis packed day and evening, many be-ing unable to procure seats, and thegeneral interest displayed in lecture shas been greater than usual. TheFreshman class appears to be work-ing hard, the wearers of the green oc-cupying a good half of the availabl elibrary accommodation .

It is only fair to our hard workingprofessors that this blessed stateshould continue—and it is up to our-selves to see that it does .

1E COMING ORDEA LThe posting of examination time-

tables has awakened even the sleepi-est student to the fact that Christma sexams are less than three weeks dis-tant . There is a general atmosphereof work and worry on the campus ,and penitent students are punishingthemselves with large overdoses o fstudy.

However laudable may be the spiri tthat prompts such application to duty ,there is no necessity for the largenumber of worried faces and impend-ing nervous breakdowns that makesemi-aknual appearances . As examsapproach, evidences of sleepless ight sand worn nerves are too apparent an dduring the actual period of writing ,the usual prevalent cold in which con-scientious students feel called upo nto indulge, adds to the general attract-iveness of the student body .

While we are not as dismayed a swe may appear at the actually notice-able loss of beauty, we feel that wemay take upon ourselves the respon-sibility of giving fatherly advice aboutthe needless strain that students im-pose on themselves . The one timeof the year when the best possibl ecare of the health should be takenis the month of the exams. No stu-dent can do his best on a pape runless he is physically fit—in mos texams good health is as great a nasset as a knowledge of the subject ,and having the ability to think abso-

lutely clearly while writing a pape ris a good start towards obtaining hig hmarks .

-Cramming and extra studying ar e

necessary evils, and most young hu-man beings can stand them twice ayear without any great harm . Butwhile they are working unusually har dand under an unusual strain, student sshould try to take every precautionto keep themselves in the best pos-sible shape for the approaching tur-moil.

What Other Editors SayINSIPIDUS

"Rotten!" says Insipidus, as he roll shis juicy eyes from the scene of ablundered pass on the gridiron.

"Terrible!" says Insipidus, as h egrunts in protest against the antics o fthe yell squad.

"Fierce!" says Insipidus, as h elanguidly peruses the editorial effortsof a fellow-undergraduate .

Who is this Insipidus ?He might be you—or your brother—

or your brother's friend .He is the individual who is foreve r

and aye finding fault—not the construc-tive critic, the leader, the worker, min dyou, but the lackadaisical loafer, thepest, the chap with the "charmin gpersonality" whose ambition lies dor-mant beneath the stagnant scrum o flaziness.

He likes to be noticed . He crave slimelight . He attains his end by de-structive criticism, by yelling "Rot-ten! "

He hasn't any ideas which mighthelp leaders in activities to change .He just yells, "Rotten!" He yells itupon every and any occasion—so thathe may be noticed .

How can he be obliterated ?Sit upon him; close his babbling ,

blithering mouth with a well-aimed cu tto the right ; stamp on him . Prove tohim your disapproval by hard, vigor-ous action, verbal or physical .

He's not wanted—here at the Uni-versity of a Thousand Years, whereambition, new ideas, construction, ar eall-important .

An Oxford student, who toured east -ern universities in Canada and theStates with a debating team, gives aninteresting account of the impressio nmade on him by Canadian debatin gmethods. Careful preparation even tothe extent of memorizing one's speec hgives, so the critic asserts, too muc hrigidity to the form in which the Can-adian debater presents his argument ,ties him too closely to his pre-rehears-ed line of argument, and makes it mor edifficult for him to combat an unex-pected point brought up by his oppon-ents . These remarks are the moreinteresting as we will in a few day' stime have an opportunity of compar-ing at first hand English and Can-adian methods of debate .

BIOLOGj8TS DISCUSS--VITAL QUESTIONS

Members of the Biological Discus-sion Club engaged in a keen debateon "Vitalism vs . Mechanism," at thei rregular bi-weekly meeting held las tMonday. Miss Mathers supporte dthe cause of Vitalism and spoke fro ma philosophic point of view. Mr. Fee ,president of the club, submitted ascientific treatment of the case forMechanism. Both speakers were in-clined to stress the materialistic poin tof view.

Mr. Spencer, a student of wide bio-logical experience, summarized thegeneral points raised on both sidesand added valuable comment on thesubject .

Mr . C. H. Dugan reviewed the de-bate and quoted from noted authori-ties in European universities in criti-cism of the views taken .

Miss MacInnes Gives InterestingIllustrated Lecture

At the last regular meriting befor eChristmas of the Wo en's LiterarySociety, Miss -Isabel Maclnnes gave avery interesting illustrated lecture o n"Student Life in Germany . "

Miss Maclnnes began by tracingbriefly the history of the various in-stitutions of learning in Europe, em-phasizing especially the growth of edu-cation in Germany.

Before the Restoration, said th espeaker, there were seventeen univer-sities in that country but by 1914 th enumber had increased to twenty-two.Each college contains four faculties ,jurisprudence, philosophy, theolog yand medicine. Besides the universi-ties there are a great many so-calle d"High Schools," which are really thehigher technical schools .

Referring to the preparation schoolsof Germany, Miss MacInnes stated thatone of the most important is the"gymnasium," which has a nine yearcourse. These "gymnasiums " arereally more advanced than our highschools, since they also cover thework studied in the first two years o fUniversity . In these schools there i svery little individuality. Students areheld down by the same grinding study ,day after day . Hence there is muc hless freedom and independence tha nis customary in our High Schools, an dthe re-action when they are given free-dom at university is very great .

Miss MacInnes explained that asGerman universities are under stat econtrol, professors cannot make criti-cisms of the Government for fear o fbeing dismissed as radicals. She ad-ded that, since students travel fromone university to another, there is alack of that school spirit which isfostered so strongly here .

The social life of these institutionsconsists mainly of clubs and "Studen tCorps," Miss MacInnes said, adding,too, that the lack of athletics there iskeenly felt by anyone accustomed t oour own institutions. This neglect o fphysical training, together with th efact that women were not allowed t oattend lectures until quite recently,shows the conservative spirit whichrules in the universities of that coun-try.

After the lecture, Miss MacInnes ex-hibited some very interesting lanternslides, depicting many phases of stud-ent life in Germany and showing somefine views of different university build-ings there.

VARSITY TEAMS

(, NEEDSUPPORTVarsity has engaged in city competi-

tions no fewer than four rugby an dthree soccer teams . Yet week afte rweek a mere sprinkling of supporter sturn out with the boys. Surely hereis a sufficiently diversified program toattract hundreds of live undergrads .

Last Saturday Varsity Juniors wer ea goal down with but a few minute sto go, fighting tooth and nail to main-tain their record . The home team hadabout 25 supporters with them . Var-sity had three . As every body beganto regard the game as settled, thes ethree sportsmen got together and rais-ed a yell between them . Varsity wen tthrough and evened up . A week ag othe McKechnie Cup Squad beat Van-couver Rep to the post in a game tha twas absolutely even . What did it ?Ask the players !

Here is a conclusive argument whyVarsity should get out and help th eteams which she puts in the field.When shouts mean goals it is up t othe students to let loose and scoreheavily . Let's see what you can do,for once!

•

ep Meeting Fridayhe long expected Aggie's pep meet-

ing is at last scheduled for Friday ,noon. Just what form the programmewill take is not divulged, but theAggies in charge have a ferociousl yhopeful expression and they areknown to be still smarting from thei rdiscomfiture at the last meeting. Itis earnestly hoped by recipients o fofferings of fruit and vegetables a tthe last meeting that the Aggies willrefrain from producing specimens o ftheir "higher culture" in this meeting.

Fresh/men Tie Wit hV Ex-King GeorgeThe Freshmen rugby squad drop-

ped their first point ut-ttrs' season o nSaturday when the ex-King Georgefifteen held them to a three-airThe Varsity touch came in the firs tstanza when Chappell secured the bal lfrom a loose scrum, ran about te nyards and passed to Shields who wen tover near the flag. The ex-KingGeorge squad pressed for the remain -der of the half.

Upon resumption of play the ex-High team continued to force the pla yand their efforts were at length re-warded when one of their forward swent over for a touch that was notconverted and hence tied the count.

The rest of the game was featuredby end to end play with the Freshie smainly on the defensive. The ab-sence of Adams and four other regu-lars who were playing Miller Cup ,weakened the Frosh considerably .A tie was a good indication of the runof play, however .

AT THE CAPITOLThe this week is putting o n

an all fun bill . Anyone, not acquaint-ed with the mirth-provoking ability ofHarold Lloyd, would have thoughtthat a free-for-all fight was takin gplace inside the Capitol, if they couldhave resisted the temptation to goin. The audience howled and roare dwith laughter. Originality is the key-note of Harold Lloyd's success, an dclosely blended with that is his de-lightful sense of humor and abilit yto make the public feel with him .

As if this was not enough another2000 laughs are produced in the ex-tra two-reel comedy .

Next Week the program is changedfrom "real" comedy to "real" drama .Gloria Swanson in "Wages of Vir-tue" is the feature .

SOC,CER JUNIORSIE WaH–C-.P.-R.

Varsity Juniors met C. P. R. in areturn league fixture, and took a wel learned point, 3-3 . As the score in-dicates the second encounter betwee nthese two teams within a week wa sstrenuous, and following an early dis-aster, only Varsity's fighting spiritenabled her to maintain her record.

Winning the toss the C. P. R. menrushed into Varsity territory, but thehalves held . Then the backs who tooksome time to settle down, first allowe dthe opposing centre forward to walkright in on Stewart, and their hastykicking resulted in the corners, fro mthe last of which the ball was heade dpast the helpless Stewart. For thenext fifteen minutes Varsity turned andsimply bombarded the goal mouthwhenever they passed the centre line.Only great work by the custodian kep tVarsity from getting half a dozen. Atlast Gaudin beat him clearly, andSpillsbury made it two-all with abeautiful overhead shot. C. P. R .fought back gamely and scored an ap-parently off-side goal which was al-lowed. This lead they held until afew moments from full time, and wer eoften dangerous in the second half .The backs were now playing a wonder-ful game, and following a charge, Gaud -in slipped through to register the tie-ing counter . The final whistle was arelief to both teams .

Line-up—Stewart, Smith and Dyres,Hawarth, Miller and Taylor, McKinnon ,Gaudin, Stevenson, Spillsbury andBlack.

)<Ice Hockey Start sThe Vancouver Amateur Ice Hocke y

Association having at last come toterms with Frank Patrick concerningthe use of the Arena, the Universit yHockey Club held its first workoutthere last week . The turnout wa slarge and the enthusiasm of the play-ers high. Among those appearing forthe first time were boys from the in-terior and ex-high school stars . Thegreater part of last year's regular swere also on hand but they will have t oplay their best brand of hockey tocatch a place on this year's squad.Everything points to a big year inthe speedy sport .

M BOVING'S ADDRESSA interesting talk was iven to th eomen's Athletic Soci

by its Hon -orary President, Mr oving, at noon ,Wednesday, November 15th, in RoomZ. Mrs. Boving spoke of the grea tpleasure it was to her to be connectedwith University Athletic activities asthe honorary president of such a soci-ety, and dealt with the great import-ance of physical exercise in studen tlife . On the whole athletics havegained greater support from the stud-ent body each year, but the presentnumber of 250 participants out of the618 women registered is not sufficient .The Swimming Club is popular, butgym, basketball and hockey are not s owell favored. Mrs. Boving advocate dmore inter-year sports, since they arereally more important than leaguegames . Inter-year matches requireboth representative and practice team sfor each year, whereas league gamesrequire only one team . Active inter-est in all branches of sport does mor ethan anything else to foster collegespirit . The meeting closed with a fe wremarks from Miss Shorney, in whichthe Victoria trip was explained.

Literary CornerINES

I met a lightsome-hearted girl ,And she was ten and four,

And oh, the Spring of Love was ours —But never will be more .

We had a million magic thoughts ,We saw what only lovers see ,

Sweet airy nothings, for in youthWe hope for things that cannot be .

But as the Spring and Summe rchanged ,

Her Youth grew shy, and lightlyled ,

It disappeared with something strange ,And left a common girl instead .

Oh why should Youth so fresh an dfair,

Appear to thrill, and vanish then ,And leave a thousand memories

Of what will never be agaiF .

- fCo-ed Teams Plan'

For Victoria Trip'With Christmas comes the annua l

trip to Victoria when Varsity sendsover her best teams with the hope ofcoming out on top. This year, thedifferent clubs hope to send teamswhich will prove themsieves the bes tyet, and to this end much hard workand practice are being done . TheGrass Hockey Club, which is playinga more prominent part this term ,hopes to turn out an excellent team ,while the Basketballers promise to b einvincible . The Swimming and Bad-minton Clubs, as usual, are preparin gefficient and well-trained teams . Thusthe athletic prospects for the trip t othe Island look bright .

It has been decided by the Athleti cExecutive that if the members of anyteam have not bought their ticket sto Victoria within 24 hours of sailing ,the game will be cancelled . This i sto prevent Varsity from turning up t oplay with incomplete teams .

OXFORD DEBAT EvMONDAY NIGHT !Debaters from the University o f

Oxford will arrive here Sunday next,to spend most of the following wee kin Vancouver . On Monday night the ywill meet with the representatives o fthe University of B . C . to discuss themightiest question of the day, therelative merits of Socialism and Capit-alism. M. C. Hollis and J . D . Wood-ruff of Oxford, with the assistance ofMurray Hunter of our own University ,will defend the Capitalistic systemagainst the attacks of Malcolm Mac-Donald, S . Kobe, and James Craig,speaking in the cause of Socialism .

The Oxford men are all arrayed onthe side to which their convictionslead them, and indications point thatVancouver will hear an exhibition o fpublic speaking unrivaled in its his-tory of these events . Their methodsare anything but orthodox and in thi sconnection the Coach of Debate fo rthe University of Kansas has writte na tribate to their technique and of thestorm of discussion their speeche sraised . The Oxonians, he writes ,were easy, informal, frequently witty ,sometimes ironic, inclined to a phil-osophical rather than a severely log-ical attack, and familiar with classical ,historical and biblical material applic-able to the subject . They abhor satis-tics and quotations from authority, an dtheir attacks on seemingly impregnabl earguments will long be remembered bythe huge crowd of twenty-one hundre dpeople who attended.

The Oxford men will speak severaltimes before leaving to engage th eUniversity of Washington speakers .During their stay a long program ha sbeen aranged for their benefit, Da lGrauer, President of the Alma MaterSociety, being in charge of the ar-rangements .

Malcolm MacDonald, the socialisti cmember of the visiting team, has hada long and varied career as a debate rand a politician. In this latter con-nection he has run twice as a LabourCandidate, and each time was defeatedby a small number of votes . JamesCraig, who will assist him, is a wellknown local debater . Craig rose tofame in sensational fashion during th efamous debate in which the Wyomingteam was vanquished . S. Kobe wasthe other member of the team on tha tmemorable occasion and he also willsupport MacDonald . Kobe is a Japan-ese student of Arts '26 and is wellknown in literary and debating circle sin this province.

J. D . Woodruff, capitalistic supporte rserved with distinction in the Foreignoffice and Admiralty in Holland, dur-ing the War. His scholastic recordincludes the winning in 1921 of th eLothian Prize and a first class in th eFinal History School . He is a Liberalparty leader and a supporter of Mr .Asquith. M. C. Hollis, the third Ox -ford man, who was educated at Eton-ard, entered Bolliol College, Oxford in1920 . In 1923 he held the distinguishedposition of President of the Oxford Uni-on . He is well known in contemporaryliterature through his work in the Eng-lish papers. Murray Hunter, memberof Arts '26, is well fitted to suppor tthese two men. His efforts in inter -class debating have made him wellknown .

The decision will rest with the audi-ence, but it is not yet decided wha tsystem will be followed. So that thespeeches may be more widely enjoyedthey will be broadcasted by radio fro mWesley Church, commencing at eigh to'clock on Monday night . Of courseit will be much better to be in attend-ance at the Church, and to what ex -tent people are realizing this is show nby the enormous sale of tickets.

SPEAKER DEALS 'WITH EINSTEI N

A most comprehensive and elucidat-ing address on "The Truth Ab oEinsteinl" was presented at th eco Institutelast week by Mr . A .L~

Killen . B.A .Instein, the mysterious mathemat-

ical wizard and scientist, the first manto discharge and direct an artificia lthunderbolt, is a man of marvellous i fnot phenomenal powers of visualiza-tion .

In 1919 he published his theory o frelativity which set the world think-ing. At the outset he vigorouslydenied the possibility of absolute mo-tion. He ignored Newton's contribu-tion to the studies of physics andmathematics by asserting that ther ewas no such thing as gravity.

"There are many problems in th eworld which baffle and humiliate thehuman intellect" continued the speak-er in conclusion. "Countless genera-tions of thinkers have pondered overthe questions of time and space ,and the broadest minds and keenestintellects are able to conceive butvague ideas of those two question swhich border on the Infinite ." YetEinstein dismisses "time" and "space "with a wave of the hand.

Early in 1925 Einstein purposes toset forth his latest theory on "Attrac-tion and Terrestrial Magnetism. "Scientists are looking forward with agreat deal of interest to this comingpublication .

Mr . McKillop is of the opinion thatEinstein's theory has not yet beensatisfactorily proved and established .The scientist has obviously overlookedsome of the elementary principles o frelativity and his theory is somewhat 'over-visualized .

To-night in the Physics LectureRoom at 8 .15 p .m., Professor W . E .Duckering will deliver an address o n"Religion in Science, and Science inReligion, by a Layman." Students ar einvited to attend .
