2 FOGGY FOGGY DO
With our customary understatement, we hoped i n our
l a s t E d i t o r i a l , that the Dance would he the "chaotic a f f a i r
you expect". The fun started when we t r i e d to s e l l the
l imi ted t i cke t s to thousands of clamouring savages) when we
acknowledged defeat, and got r i d of them by l o t t e r y . The
fun f in i shed when our punch drunk sports s t a f f to t te red to
bed. In between came a go l f match, featur ing the FELIX
Ar t E d i t o r , and ably commented on by the we l l known
Rhodesian go l f e r , Sloggem Hard Wearne.
Few po t en t i a l r e ve l l e r s were deterred by the fog, and
FELIX i s able to report that he made near ly as much money
as planned.
We wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to a l l
our readers ( e spec ia l ly those who write to u s ) , to Satorius
G.Thomas (the FELIX Board Bu t l e r ) , to our salesmen and
t y p i s t s , to Mr. Eisenhower, and, for i m p a r t i a l a l i t y • s sake,
to Mr. S t a l i n , to the Government (whom we hold t o blame for
the fog), and to the taxpayers who keep us a l l at co l l ege .

Dear Sir, Mr, Fisher thinks that a page in FELIX devoted to
U.L. activities should have the precedence to the sports page if lack of space prevents the inclusion of both
tea f a r e s . Mr Fisher rightly assesses the world situation as
grave. The remedy he xuggests, namely 'a resurgence of critical and constructive thought in mankind" is a well sounding phrase with vacuum behind it.
We have a lot of crntJval and constructive thought going on. What is lacking in the world to-day is to 1eranee and good will.
To promote tolerance and good will we have to be primarily interested in people and their problems. We can practice that splendidly at I.C,,
To take part in the activities of U.L. means a lot of time, '.i'hose who fully participate in the life of I.C often cannot afford it. It does not mean that they do not work towards the objectives Mr. Fisher is rather vaguely worrying about.
He also suggest that to practice sport is to be
directly preventing understanding in the world.
Something is seriously wrong with someone's reasoning
here!
To practice any form of sport the way we see it is llo develop those very qualities which if present all over the world, would make for better understanding among nations.
At sport we train to achieve our objects by fair means, with courage and zeal. We learn team work and inward discipline. We learn to know one another. We have, no language barriers. That i s very important. activities.''I am merely saying that they will never be generally topical at I.C. , We will not lose atmthingby that. Nor will the world at large .'lose anything and with it the cause Mr. Fisher is fifyh'tlng for.
Your faithfully, J, PRZEWLOCKI, 2M

Sir ,
As your intendant book reviewer I must most vigorously
place myself detached from the spelling and punctuation
in the Union Library assays of the last three fCbiX" a.
Would your correspondent please justify. Can he justify
it? Is he sha^,? Yours etc.,
S.H. WEARNE Dear Sir,
As, I hope, 'FELIX' is an impartial animal and the views of his staff are not unduly forced on the College; I do deprecate the waging of a private c rusade , on the matter of punctuation, within its pages, , Even more so is tih^i a matter of concern, when one cons iders the fact, ttmt the author of this campaign is one, who is urging us • via I.C, Library • to a better knowledge of the finer points of the language, whose English is' incomplete without full punctuation, and whose writing is often n rtdered thereby ambigous or even unintelligible.
PAUL YOUNG
FELIX
I f yon find a spare toe xx^xng about the Union Library, the odds are that "Evelyn "faugh has shot i t off one of his characters; which seems a good footing to start a dissertation on book's to take out for the holiday.
Cronin made a shattering impression on me when I read "The Citadel". I f you want a powerful book, unpleasant yet fascinating and conscience s t i r r i n g , thats the one I recommend. Almost eaually s t i r r i n g i s Arthur Koestlers "Darkness at woon", an account of the Moscow t r i a l s , containing an unforgettable picture of p i t i l e s s electric lamps and the inhuman method of theoretical f e t i s h i s t s . On a more human le v e l , Alan Patons "Cry, The Beloved Country" i s a parable : the writing attains a poetic beauty foreign to this century as the problems of Africa are s k i l f u l l y , sympathetically, l a i d hare.
Somerset Maugham i s a safe bet, though he rambles a b i t , and, thank heaven, occasionally steps outside the grammar books. "The Razors' Edge" w i l l hold you when the f i r e s gone out. So will Beerbohm's only novel Znloika pobson", which outlandishly outWaughs Waugh, and which must be the only book containing a proposal l a s t ing several pages. Also, though I havent had a chance to read i t , glorious things are spoken of Monseratt's "The Cruel Sea".
But, i f you want i t straight from the jaw, try Shaw's "Quintessence of Tbsenism", part of his Major C r i t i c a l Essays, or else, "The Story of my L i f e " , the autobiography of Helen Keller, a deaf and blind American heroine.
Hemingway, who makes lawyers cay peculiar things, and Linklater, who can be shocking at times, appeal to many people. Books by the latter,, togethet with Cronin and Scotland are the most sought-after works i n the l i b r a r y at the moment (there are now 150 members). Tolstoy i s also popular, and i f everybody read "War and Peace" there would be no more war - there wouldnt be time for i t .
This- series of art i c l e s has now rambled into i t s last paragraph. Though Tra far from finished, youve no doubt had enough, and everything has to stop some time, as John C-ilpin-may have said. I t only remains for me to thank jfchose. °- you who have read this far, to remind you-.that everybody can take out, and has time to read, a book over the Christmas holiday, to express gratitude to my friend G. Bonham-Thomas for help and critiscm, to acknowledge spelling inspiration from the late G. B. Shaw and considerable assistance from the Library Committee, headed by John Midgley and the Union Librarian, Dr.Hiilsi, and to sign off.

I.C DOES W E L L IN UL CUPS Rugger—
AU.L. RUGBi CUP. Second Round.
I .C . - 28 Northern Polytechnic—3. ThiB game was played on a treacherous wet surface
with a north wind blowing sleet and rain the length of the ground. Starting against the wind I.C. looked a faster and better side than their opponents and were f irst to score through an Unconverted try by Coppelman. Northern Poly, replied with a try, but just before half-time Hearn touched down a kick ahead to regain the lead. In the second half the college quite overwhelmed the visitors; making fu l l use of the conditions by incessant long kicks downfield. There was some good play by the back, although attempts at handling were a waste of time. On several occasions a tackled three-qutirter was able to release the ball and get a foot to i t to start a rush. Six more tries were scored; one of the best coming when Groves, who had followed up a diagonal kick by Hykin, was able to. gather a fortunate bounce at fu l l speed The scorers were Groves (3), Crossley (2), Cbppelman, Hearn and Hykin. Robinson made two conversions inspite of the mud.
I.C. are clearly capable of retaining the University Cup i f they play intellegently, and choose the correct tactics in succeeding rounds. The keen support for the four lower XV's ensures a number of good reserves on the fringe of the first team as an insurance against injuries. The semi-finals are not until Feb. 18th when I.C. play Wye College, and Q.M.C. (last year's runners-up) play Kings, who have half-a-dozen University players.

.2nd. ROUND U.L. CUP
I.C. versus St. Mary's. Won by I.C. The U.L. Squash Cup ia contested with only three
players; this se cond round looked like a really hard fight, with St. Mary's playing the U.L. captain as their f irst string, and with I.C. playing three Varsity men, J.Kenyon, A.A.Williams, and M.D.Martin.
The third pair went into the court f i rs t , and proved to be the most interesting squash, from the gallery point of view. The first two games brought out some excellent squash, but Mike Martin then found a good length on his corner drives, and alternating with s ide-mi l drop shots, soon had his opponent very exhausted; he eventually won, s t i l l appearing very nrach fresher than the St.Mary's No.3. by 3 games to 1.
A.A.Williams did not get much opportunity to use his 'disguised wrist-shots' ; his opponent was somewhat of a slogger, with the result that the game did not prove very interesting to watch, a great pity because Tony Williams' subtle play is usually very impressive. He won by 3 games to 1, without appearing at a l l pressed.
John Garfield, the U.L. captain, was in excellent form and proved too much for Jeff Kenyon, who lost in three straight games. Garfield's corner drives were irretrievable, and his side-court drives soareely left the side-walls at a l l . This match was again disappointing, for had Jeff Kenyon been 'on-form' we would have seen some f i r s t -class squash.

AU.L. Cup. Second Round. Kings 1 I.C. 6
I.C. fought their way into the semi-final of the U.L.Hockey Cup competition by a convincing victory over King's College on Wednesday,26th.Novemberof six goals to one.The match was played almost throughout in a cold driving drizzle but the standard of hockey was surprisingly good.
The first ten minutes were cr i t ica l for I.e.,but the defence stood up to the test well,and from then on the half-back line gradually gained control of the game. Consequently,in the second half the I.C.forwards were kept well supplied with passes and proved too much for the King's defence.The first four goals were scored by Latter,Power,and John Smith(2),and the fifth was the result of a demonstration by Forster of how a penalty corner should be taken.King's struck back and scored but I.Chad the last word when Haye3 went through and scored from the edge of the circle.
The semi-final wi l l be played on February 4th. when we shall probably meet our old foes,University College,who at present have the Cup in their possession. We are looking forward to relieving them of this responsibility.

Ist.XI v Dulwich A Lost 2-0
The recent form of the first XI indicates that i f the forwards can produce a l i t t l e extra punch (metaphorically speaking) in front of goal and the defence indulge in strong first time tackling, the team should give a good account of i t se l f in the second half of the season. Unf fortunately the same cannot be said of the second XI which is having a very lean season. There appears to be despondency in the team and unti l this is. got rid of the games w i l l continue to be lost. A contributory factor to this apathetic condition is probably the difficulties experienced by the club officials in selecting teams. An availability l i s t i s in operation and correct use of this should ensure that there are no crossings off but recently last minute withdrawals have had disastrous effects as a quick glance at the record shows.
