by the Chinese poet, Chang Huan. Of
him his creator wrote:
Battling was a type that is too
common in the eastern districts of
London; type that upsets all ac-
cepted classifications. He wouldn't be
classed. He was curious mixture of
athleticism and degeneracy. He could
run like deer, leap like greyhound,
fight like machine and drink like
a suction-hose. He was a bully; he

The University Mems Glee Club
will present it's annual concert in
the auditorium on the evening of
Wednesday, February %. Students
will be admitted on their A. S. U. I.
tickets. The price for others will be

at Hodgins'.
The club regrets very much the re-
cent sickness of Russell Scott, bari
tone soloist. In the concert tour
from which the club lately returned
Mr.. Scott's solos were everywhere
acclaimed to be among the strongest
numbers of the program. His in
ability to sing will make a gap in
the program which Prof E. O. Bangs
the director, is being hard pressed to
fill.
The other members have now be-
come rested from their recent ex-
tensive travels, and are in better
shape than ever, according to Prof.
Bangs. All attempts will be made to
make the home concert the best of
the season. Special rehearsals are
already being held.

With his quick sense of appropri-

that the fight of Battling Burrows in

the one man who, even if he has

arguments of the two teams in priv
ate.

The pair going to Vancouver,
British Columbia, is especially anx-
ious for victory. If the team of the
University of British Columbia is
talked down in Vancouver by the
Idaho debaters, Idaho will go on rec
ord as being the first school from the
States to defeat the Canadian college
in it's own halls.

"The Canadians have an annoying
little custom of picking out some
trifling error in grammar or delivery
in their opponents speech and dwell
ing upon it at length" stated one Of
the debaters recently. illogical as it
may seem, this devise has been used
by them with great success in influ-
encing the judges. In arguments we
are confident that we have them pin
ned down. What we are afraid Of is
their Canadian trickery."

question to be argued is, Resolved

advancement almost unlimited. .
In the old days it was supposed
that statesmen were born-that unless
they we're born with the knack they
could never sell. The big organiza-
