WHO’S TO BE WHO IN D.U.C.A.C..VConflict of Personalities

~’OR the first time in several years it looks as if there will be a con-|" tested election in D.U.C.A.C. at their annual general meeting. The~minee of the Captains’ Committee, Chris. Wood, is from a minor club{Fencing), which is unUsual--but D.U.C.A.C. and club officials stronglydeny that this is a contest of the "minor" versus the "major" clubs.Opposition candidate, C. J. Lea, is from the Football Club, but Chris.Wood claims strong support from some of the major bloc.

Some say C. J. Lea is doing too muchalready--he is active in two clubs--andfeeling is beginning to run high. As wego to press there is talk of a third candi-date, but whether he will get as far asthe A.G.M. is doubtful. John Baxter,present Secretary of D.U.C.A.C., said"negotiations " were going on at presentbetween the opposition camps. As he~elicately put it: " It has not yet been~ttled who is going to be Secretary."

Whether or not the A.G.M. gets anopportunity to elect a Secretary ’for atJaange, therefore, depends on how muchrapport the two can muster beforehand.All may yet be well--the Captains’nominee may well go forward unopposed.But there is a new and healthy interestamong would-be electors as to what theyare going to be asked to do, which up tonow has been conspicuous only by itsabsence.

Animal House for TrinityTrinity is to be the first place in

Ireland to have facilities for endo-:.¢rinol.ogical research. An animal housem going to be built at the back of theScience departments, with the moneydonated from the Wellcome Trust.Animals in good health will be keptunder ideal conditions here and will beused for studies in endocrinology,physiology and biochemistry.

When asked if this would attractmore research students, members of the

PFrohysiology staff¯ said that it wouldbably increase staff research activitieswhich would mean eventually more re-search students.

BOMBSHELL IN THECHEMISTRY DEPT.

The Chemistry Department has decidedto introduce a terua examination for allstudents except Senior Sophisters. Thereason given is that students do no workduring the term and this is shown in thelow standard in recent examinations.

The students, while agreeing that theprinciple of term exams, is good, feelthat the announcement should have beenmade earlier. The first to hear the newswere some students who had gone toProfessor Cocker’s house for tea onSunday. A notice went up in the De-partment on Tuesday.

The examination is to take place onthe Monday after the end of the lectureterm, still legally in the Michaelmasterm. Many students, however, havearranged to go home on the Saturdaybefore or even earlier. Some havearranged to take up holiday jobs withthe Post Office. Others are in-colved inChristmas plays and the like. Theannouncement has caused great indigna-tion and the Chemistry Department isbeing censured for its lack of con-sideration.

THE PHOENIX RISESOpera Group Bloody But Unbowed

The good Opera Company, almost bydefinition, suffers "in the cause of art."It is a curious fact that, on the whole,the opera-going public, while retaininga strange superiority complex over thosem~rtals who prefer the fillums, is con-tent to base its likes and dislikes on:much the same structure of criteria. TheOpera g0er likes what he knows. TheD.U. Opera Group’s financial debacle inthe music festival, therefore, was not

Art SocietyMiss Cheli Duran outlined the aims of

the Art Society in its meeting on the 14thNovember. The Society is to includewithin its wide-reaching arms all formso’f ’visual art, except anything that mightencroach on the precincts of otherassociations in College. Its meetings willbe in the form of lectures, debates andfilms.

The constitutional business of theevening was rather long, and one sectionof those present afterwards expressedthe opinion that the Society was con-centrating overmuch on constitutionalquestions. " Art was its business. Whydid it not get on with it?" But anencounter with the sincerity and en-thusiasm of Cheli Duran explained every-thing. " The constitution," she said, " isimportant. Without an approved con-stitution we cannot get a grant orrooms." But more important than thiswas the necessity, she felt, to preventthe Society being run by a clique, whichhas happened to more than one societyof a smilar type in College.

On the whole, there seems to be tre-mendous enthusiasm and drive behindthis Society. Whether this is only the" first flush " or not cannot be yet de-cided. Nevertheless the courage andhard work necessary to start such asociety should be commended.

Surprising. Despite the fact ’~hat the"Irish Independent" thought the Group’sproduction of two Menotti Operas "amusical event of the first importance,"and the "Irish Times" commented tbat’~he production was a "dari~ag and pro-vocative gesture." There was no stam-pede for tickets.

Obviously the g~oup now needs money,before attempting Artistic martyrdomin the holy cause of the unknown andunwanted once more. The next oroduc-tion, it is hoped, will be of "Trial byJury." There are thirty Chorus pa~’Ls,several solo parts, and we need stagemanagement, a.nd willing hands to makecostumes and scenery. We can’t affordto hire. The production, if all goes well,will take place "in the round," in themiddle of next term, we hope in theexam. hall. There will be auditions earlynext week, possibly on Monday at 4.0,at .the top of No. 6. Keep your eyespeeled.

SUBS FOR STUBBSPMike Stubbs, whose drawings you may

have seen in another publication, hasachieved the considerable distinction ofhaving a collection of his cartoons pub-lished in a neat little book by HedgesFiggis and Co. A brief glance revealedthat the drawing is better than the ideas;there are few who can better Stubbs’sthick-soled, narrow-trousered teddy boys.Not at all a bad idea for a Christmaspresent, especially as it cost a mere 7/6.

Happy EventWe would like to offer our heartiest

c~ngratulations to Miss Felicity L. Milleron her recent election to the CollegeHistorical Society (proposed by theAuditor seconded by the Treasurer).

DOMESTIC SCIENCE?Housekeeping is a serious matter,

certainly above the comprehension ofwomen. It must be approached in ascientific manner and the following sug-gestions of a scientist may be of value:

When surveying your shelves you maycome across things which smell doubtful.If you expected them to be edible, e.g.,meat or milk, throw them away. If youdid not, e.g., a milk jug or saucepan,boi! them with water before re-use.

Many students provided with one gasring have wished to contrive an oven.The problem is really one of making anequal temperature enclosure and has

exercised the ingenuity of the physicists.The following suggestion is an enlarge-ment of a device which has been success-ful on a laboratory scale:

Take a biscuit tin and line it with ~-in.asbestos sheet. Damp the asbestos andpress it into shape. Heat thoroughly todry the asbestos and then line againwith aluminium foil. Theoretically youhave now g’ot an equal temperatureenclosure. Provide yourself with athermometer. The oven may be heatedon a gas ring to the required tempera-ture; very little heat will be required tokeep it there. The thing might work.

THIS NUCLEARAGE

Professor E. T. S. Walton gave theintroductory lecture of D.U.E.S.A.’s" Symposium of Atomic Energy " lastWednesday. His delivery could not bedescribed as elegant, but he held hisaudience interested for about 1½ hours.He dealt with the history and elementarytheory of the subject in the last 70 years.The complacency at the apparent com-pleteness of physics by 1890 wasshattered by a series of new disco’veries--the electron, X-rays, radio-activity andquantum and relativity theories,

Much fundamental research was doneat the Cavendish Laboratory in Cam-bridge, where Prof. Walton himselfworked under Rutherford, and he spokeof the great physicists he had known--J. J. Thompson, who went round in abowler hat and a mood of abstraction;Searle, who watched total eclipses as ahobby, de Broglie, Geiger and others.

T h e fundamental particles, alphaparticles, electron, proton and later theneutron were discovered and investi-gated. Artificial disintegration of nuclliwas accomplished and the possibility ofa chain reaction suggested. This cul-minated in the atomic bomb and, later,controlled in the atomic pile for- the pro-duction of useful energy.

Many of the qustions then put to Prof.Walton were concerned rather with thenature of the particles than with theiruse. He was also pressed for details ofthe work for which he and Cockroft wereawarded the Nobel prize. His accountgave students cause for wonder at thework which could be done with limitedand even dangerous apparatus.

The Hist. and Phil. are running

a fund for Joe Mooney, their ex.

billiard marker. A circular lette~has already been sent out, but both

Societies would be most grateful

for contributions, which may be

sent to either Treasurer.

The recently-established branch ofWorld University Service is to hold itsfirst meeting on Friday at 8 p.m. in WestChapel. The opening note is an auspiciousone in that no less a man than theAssociate Secretary ’from the head-quarters in Geneva, Mr. Cyril Ritchie,will t e present to speak on " Trinity inthe Y Tor d University."

The aim of W.U.S. will be to contributeto the material needs of Universities inunder-developed countries and, in Trinityitself, to help integrate foreign studentsinto College life.

POPPIES andDALUBAS

REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY has

come and gone very much as

usual. Every year it becomes in-

creasingly obvious that the real

point of this annual event is becom-

ing more and more widely missed.

The reason why we buy poppies is

not--or ought not to be--to

demonstrate our political sym-

patldes, or our broad-mindedness,

or our superiority to the natives, or

to air any Cause at all: the only

really important thing is that a

large number of people in this

country have been either disabled

from doing profitable work, o1"

bereaved of theman who should be

doing it for them, because of what

happened in one of two war~

Therefore, we give a little to help

buy a few of the things that other-

wise would have been naturally

theirs.The great majority of those who

died or were injured, suffered, like

all soldiers, for a " Cause " they

did not understand, because thesergeant told them to be in aparticular place at a particulartime, and they were too frightenedof him to run away. This is whatmakes the old clich4s fed to us lastSunday so repulsive: "for liberty,""a better world," "civilisation."The World Wars have indeed savedsomething of these, but men didn’tjoin the ranks because of that.This is a kind of ranting no morelikeable than its opposite: thepatriot who won’t btW a poppybecause "they fought for Englandand England can pay for them." Inthe face of death and poverty,politics are irrelevant.

But this year, Poppy Day shouldbe a little more poignant thwnusual here. Of all the countrieswhich sent military detachments tohelp keep the peace in the Congo,only Ireland sent her men out asif they were going to win a foot-ball match--and only Ireland haslost some fives there. In theCongo, the Cause was, if anything,more- obscure than ever; andLieutenant Gleeson and his mencertainly died with no more"noble" concept in their mindsthan did their compatriots in thelarger struggle---but all this isinsignificant now. Their familieshave suffered a worse bereavementbecause it is more recent and muchmore unexpected, and that is allthat matters.

We feel, therefore, that someeffort should be made in Trinity tohelp provide these families with afew of the things that the Statepension will never provide. The"Irish Times" has set up a fundfor this purpose, but for thosestudents who would like a con-venient way of making a small con-tribution, we have arranged totransmit such sums as are sent tous to the "Irish Times" under

Profile : BRENDAN KENNELLY

There is a deadly silence in the Read-ing Room¯ A young man in a beltedmack arrd a small brown suitcase swaysto and fro in front of the door. Heappears slightly inebriated. Some stoptheir work to look at him. He looks back,walks slowly to the balcony stairs, stops,and considers. He climbs the stairs,turns to face a sea of blank butexpectant faces. Then he takes hisculchi-cap off, whirling it slowly abovehis head, lets out a long piercing" wheeeeeeeeee " and replaces the cap onhis head. He ambles down the stairs,struts out into the coolness of the night.There is a stunned murmur.

The Gardai pretend they don’t notice.The husband stands there, looking atrifle annoyed. A young man is on hisknees on Grafton Street, proposing tothe Mrs. There is a huge plate-glass

window nearby. Two ’friends catch holdof this would-be Pyramus before all hellbreaks loose. T h e Gardai whistle,

relieved.She is an ordinary little girl, half

embarrassed by the intent rooks she isgetting from one of two young men. Theother is choosing shoes for a friend.The shopkeeper goes to get a ladder andbrings it over to where the shoes are.The girl begins to climb it. She nearlyfalls when she hears a voice growlingbehind her: " Get up them stairs, woman;what d’ye think I married you for . . . ?"

In Ballylongford, the town which bredLord Kitchener (he tied Fuzzi-wuzziesto his cannons before an attack) there isa pub. In this pub, to the tinkling ofglasses and the rise and fall of theshrill Kerry accent, the same young ma~is pulling pints behind his father’s bar,He is short, heavy-shouldered, with haircut too close around the ears and a typeof quiff high on his forehead. He islistening in iambics. An argumentarises. It is about the size of a Panda’s

Faun and Fainne

tail and the price of green garters in theSenegal. The tinkers join in the con-troversy, as a voice cuts in abave theothers: "Whell .... you don’t knowand I don’t know . ¯ . ask Brendan thereif he don’t know, nobody does."

As a child, Brendan Kennelly had onlyone really unique point: the way hefolded his jersey after a match. Hiswide-eyed attention when grown-upstalked in the evening concerning theways of the world may have sufficed asa hint for the particularly observant asto the nature of his concept on life--it isbasically subjective¯ Later, he cameunder the influence of the eclectic in-dividuality of the parish priest, an unclewho wrote heroic poems about enemas inhospitals, and the E.S.B. (you can’t be apoet in the English-speaking world tillyou have done time in the Corporation,the Civil Service or the Public Utilities).

Following an older brother who set thefamily tradition of going to Trinityrather than U.C.D. (a no~el choice for aKerry Catholic), Brendan, writingessays in locker-rooms, poems in W.C.sand French compisitions under theCampanile (becoming remarkably pro-ficient at everything almost instan-taneously) soon began to established a"following." Even now the "following"is treated with an intimacy which isalmost too shocking for the casualobserver. A stately and aloof comrademay be hailed: " Hello you sum ....how’s your mother’s jaundice ?"

His preference for little dark-eyedLatin ladies is well known. These maywell be accosted with sumptuously ornateand pompously rococo odes on theirswarthy ethereality¯

His term-time home is near the~Coombe, along the 50 bus route. Hesees, more .often than the rest of usperhaps, the life which lies behind thepeeling industrial whitewash of com-mercial Dublin. No one really knowswhat goes on in that old head. Theconstant ear-to-ear smiles which shatterhis visage all day long, as he meets, oneafter the other, his numerous acquain-tances, belies his natural feeling for thepoor, the wretched and the unwanted whofigure so prominently in his lyricalcreation~¯

And the future? He will be writing.At twenty-four he has already publisheda book of poems, another coming inFebruary. He has written a play whichis soon to be produced. The Lope deVega of Trinity, his output isphenomenal. With Kinsella and Keane,he will be reading poetry this week-endin Cork. He is also the editor of thisterm’s " Icarus¯" A fluent Gaelic speaker,he wears the fainne to keep his trousersup, happier in the French idiom when itcomes to the ladies.

He will go to France to teach, perhaps,but his return will be prompt to the" . . . ground where dreams aboundAnd names are shaped from an age’s

wile."

RagOne after another they pile up in cup-

boards and drawers, on tables andwindowsills, till we burn them all in a fitof end-of-term ordliness. I mean theCollege newspapers from all over theBritish Isles, which Taithful CirculationManagers in Swansea, Leeds, Belfast,Oxford and Earlsfort Terrace send usweek after week.

Generally, we tend to dismiss them ashigh-class wastepaper because they referto places, people and situations of whichwe have no knowledge. Most of theircontents mean as little to us as " Fourand Six " would mean to the averageSheffield University socialite. But theyare not without value: they prowoke in-teresting comparisons. It is fascinatingto see the differing emphases, to com-pare Oxford’s " Cherwell" with the bestRed-Brick product--London’s " Pi." It isdisillusioning to glance at the Irish pro-duction after these glossy efforts, bBtdiverting comparisons can be made l~e-tween Trinity’s, Queen’s and U.C.D~’sjournals.

Nearest home is U¯C.D¯’s modest effort," Awake." The exhortation of the titleis not totally successful: like a certain,organ in this Uni,:ersity which some-times belies its title, it suffers from a

the general beading of the "TrinityNews" Fund. Contributions madethrough this newspaper, therefore,will be gratefully acknowledged,but not published.

This idea is entirely withoutpolitical significance: it is simplyintended as a gesture of sympathytowards some very unfortunatefamilies, and we do most sincerelyrecommend it to every student inCollege, no matter what his back-ground, or his ideas on any publicquestion. At the very least it isone of the few chances we have toshow Trinity to her country in arather more favourable light thantqsual.

lack of real news. Last week’s headlinewas the startling and rather desperate:" FILES DISAPPEAR. S.R.C. RecordsMissing.,’

To counterbalance a rather grave lackof photographs and inadequate sportsco’verage, there is some sound literarymatter--for example, excellent articleson James Joyce and paper-back books¯Politics seem to be vigorously avoided,which is not really surprising. A,t 4d.this paper is expensive--probably, likealmost everything else in Ireland, itsuffers from lack of funds.

Down from Belfast, armed with thisfront page headline: " BrookboroughAddress," comes Queen’s "The Gown"breathing Ulsterdom. Some excellent lay-Out and a fine, photograph-accompaniedsocial column are the best features. Anexcess of society reports (look who’stalking!) and lack of real meaty readingare the main faults. But there are eightpages of pleasant, glossy paper for 4d.

London University’s ,’ Pi" is a beauti-fully produced newspaper. There is somereal, genuine " news "; I suppose this ishardly surprising in so vast an in-stitution situated where there is nearlyalways something happening in the edu-cation world even if in no other sphere.(The highly important question of meanstests for grants was last week’s mainstory.) There are as well some reallyauthoritative film reviews. The implica-tions of the Lady Chatterly trial wereeagerly and wittily discussed in anarticle which uses to devastating effectone of the much-famed four letter words.The beautiful and expensive presentation(surely it must be subsidised) make thisgood ’value at 3d. Perhaps its poise andassurance have something to do with thefact that it is only produced fortnightly.

Oxford’s tabloid " Cherwell " is betteroff for news than any other UniversitypaPer. In several issues the Biltin Tokercontroversy is exploited to the full; thearts section is lively and expresses acoherent viewpoint. Sports coverage isadmirable, though who could fail withsuch material as an account of Oxfordv. Springboks rugby match?

Next week I hope to consider somemore Red-Brick publications in detail.

PROSECUTOR--THE CORINTHIAN,

This is a cocktail of bitter truths,4newspaper headlines of recent years

I 0ncocted into a remarkable satire on theBundesrepublik. As nearly all good films

that left German studios after the war,it deals with the shadows of Nazismhaunting the new democracy, this timewith the corruption af the judiciary.Public prosecutor Schramm has takenthe hurdle of National Socialism byforging or withholding some documents(Class V "has always been against it "),but 15 years later the past begins tothreaten him. At the time when hedeliberately holds back a warrant for arabid anti-Semite who escapes to Egypt(as schoolmaster Zinn and Dr. Eisele hadactually done, the latter under " strange"drcumstances), former private Klein-sehmidt, sentenced to death by him in thelast days of the war for buying twoboxes of Air Force chocolate on the blackmarket, crosses his paths agaln~ withthe cherished treasure of his deathwarrant--signed by Schramm--:which heshows to pub friends in "humid hours."After 90 minutes of persuasion, in-

trigues and blackmail, Schramm has pro-vided newspapers with headlines ofanother " Justizskandal," and Klein-schmidt can devote himself to the un-avoidable and insignificant love affair.

The poignant satire on the judiciary isembedded in a comedy of manners ofWest Germany. The middle-aged believerin the Teutonic creed "to be German andto have character is the same thing "clashes with his teenage son, the obedienthousewife, who revers only her husbandmore than domestic peace, left helplessas an intermediator. Nor is the post-war generation with its sole concern forbusiness and money much more attrac-tive. Some matey and hearty lorrydrivers must restore the balance, apart’from t h e endearing carelessness ofPrivate Kleinschmidt who occasionallyreminds one of Lucky Jim in a rathermore sinister surrounding. The film isnot dubbed, the sub-titles miss a gloriouspun about justice, " die wie eine frischgetwaschene und strahlende Wassernixeaussieht, weil sic so oft baden geht."

Hot and Cold:By DONALD CARROLL

About this time of the year, as land-ladies and the weather become increas-ing wretched by the hour, coffee housesre-emerge as the vital hubs of studentactivity. For it is in these crowded,smoky dens--far removed from thearidity of the lecture halls--that the realpulse of College life can be felt. There-fore, as a public service, I have reprintedbelow the expurgated edition of my caresociety handbook, a truly forgettablevolume which has stirred an unpre-cedented groundswell of public apathy.

Coffee Inn.--Besides the good coffee,the main attraction here is a brown-maned transvestite finger-painting withhis ketchup--frequently observed tryingto score with the servante by makinggarbled overtures through the denseshrubbery of his upper lip.

Letter to the EditorSir,--We stood it for a whole year

with patience and hope--even last week’seditorial augured better things ~ butthere seems no end to it. In the pastwe have frequently been urged in yourcolumns to be "good chaps," contentedstudents, abstaining from the excesses.ofTrinity Week and devoting all ourenergies to the clubs and societies to helpout those hard-pressed individuals whodo everything in College; and this propa-ganda to the " good chap " ideal is pur-sued with a rigorous insipidity in yourweekly " Profile."

: Thinking back, can we ever remembera: specimen who was not a good mixer,affable, humorous, never made enemies,etc. ? They are like the advertisementsfor toothpaste and deodoxants that sendone searching one’s own inferiorities. Ofcourse, we howled inwardly withpolitely reserved mirth to learn of

To-night in the Phil,, Mr. GabrielFallon, Director of the Abbey

Theatre, will speak to a paper on

"S ~ a n O’Casey," by Bernard

Adams.

" Bubbles " and that Tony (" he used toinsist on Anthony ") plays "invariablymixed doubles " on a Sunday afternoon.The latter seems to serve ~s a re-assurance, in view of the society ofwhich he now finds himself the head, asto an awareness of the opposite sex.After such jolly appraisals one feels oneshould trot politely along to all themeetings if only to catch a glimpse ofthis genial, giant o’f a " chap." Or wemay seriously begin to question whetherwe have been frequenting the rightcircles in College that we have met sofew people with such an abundance ofgood qualities.

This compelling insistence on the" good chap" ideal is comparable perhapsto the myth o£ the "Victorian gentle-man "; it has bedeviled your excellentjournal too long. If " Profiles " we musthave, could they not be, occasionally atleast, of the shy, meek little rain-coatedspecimens who are to be seen at intervalsbetween lecture and reading rooms;perhaps we would see more of us all inthem, and it would at least relieve thepain, sometimes verging on nausea, ofthese huge-hearted, thoroughly good" chaps."--Yours faithfully,

!i]t and Powell was unable to travel, and bearing in mind the fact that the~ii~ :,It: ~i!llltlli

three-quarter line was of experimental composition, this performance

against keen and fit opponents was not as bad as one might at first

assume.

[:

On his return to first-class tugger aftera long lay-off, Dorman showed touches ofreal class in his handling, running andpassing, but failed to grasp the tacticalsituation in the second half when thetouchline should have been exploited inorder to give us some territorial rewardfor possession of the ball.

As it was, the three-quarters could notescape the attentions of their oppositenumbers and attacking kicks fell withmonotonous regularity into the hands ofthe very competent Kiernan. Thus notonce did Trinity get in their opponents’"25" in the second half and the onlyscoring was a penalty by Kiernan whenone of the Trinity backs was alleged tohave handled on the ground.

Trinity’s defence held on desperatelytowards the end of the game, with Hallgiving a very courageous performance.He repeatedly went down on the looseball when just after half-time he hadincurred a severe rib injury.

In conclusion, it only remains ’for yourcorrespondent to pay tribute to the

The Mardyke was deceptively muddyafter two days’ rain, but the game neverdeveloped into the dour forward battlethat the conditions warranted, becauseTrinity preferred to use their more thanadequate share of the ball from scrumand line-out to keep play open. Through-out the game the Trinity backs were fed,but keen tackling and covering, theglutinous surface and an unfortunateseries of injuries limited their strikingpowe~.

The first quarter of an hour was allTrinity, and three points was an in-sufficient reward for their endeavours.After two sweeping, passing movementsthat gave each wing m turn a run,Y~orrison’s cross kick was desperatelycleared by the Cork defence. But froman ensuing scrum, Dorman " scopped"for Siggins to collect and when he wastackled, Endall was conveniently on handto pick up and score half-way out. Hallmuffed the con’version.

After Trinity had threatened to scoreagain from two long runs by the chunkyEndall, Cork retaliated when a defensiveclearance by Rees was charged down, theresultant try being scored in the corner.Kiernan’s frst-class conversion from thetouchline only served to emphasiseTrhfity’s lack of a reliable place kicker.

Kiernan now changed his tactics,realising that the only answer to ourpossession of the ball from the tight andthe dangerous potential shown by thebacks, was to use his backs defensivelyand utilise his forwards’ speed in theloose. Thus the Trinity backs weregradually "bottled up "--Lea was blottedout by the Irish international Welsh;Morrison was heavily tackled andseverely damaged his shoulder; Endallnow ~ound the gaps in the centre closing.

Rees and Do,nan were each brilliantin patches, but at times were ex-tremely shaky when the ball fell loose.

Squash ClubAfter three matches. Trinity’s squash

teams are still undefeated. The firstteam--R. Roberts (Captain), P. Heaney(Irish international), J. Barrington andA. Rice--is one of the strongest in thecountry and should end the season at thetop of the league. M. Bagley and C.Sprawson, two Freshmen playing in theB and C teams, respectively, should im-prove with practice and. give the leadingplayers sound support.

Two ladders are now in operation andlater in the season it is hoped to runhandicap and knock-out competitions.

sterling work of the Trinity pack in thetight. Hill and Dowse monopolised theline-outs and the front row outplayedtheir counterparts in the tight scrums.The pack for the Colours match mustalmost pick itself now, though there seemto be signs of complacency amongst t:~:~most experienced players because of thelack of competition.

The reverse is the case in the backs,where the constant experimentation,while definitely making players fight fortheir places, can also make for aminimum of teamwork in the endeavourto impress individually. It is a fact thatthe same backline has yet to ~eature intwo successive games and it is to behoped that representative matches willnot be all out to prevent the formationof a settled backline for at least twomatches before the Colours match onDecember 3rd.

Forwards DisappointTrinity, 2 ; Beckenham, 2

On a rather miserable afternoon atLondonbridge R o ad a re-organisedTrinity side gave a good account of itselfiu drawing with Beckenham. The sidehad two changes from the one that lostto Three Rock Rovers. Prestage, a new-comer, was on the right wing, and Fullerwas at inside-right.

The defence played very well. Thefact that Beckenham had only threeshots at goal in the whole match saysmuch for their covering. Blackmore hasrarely played better for the club and allthe remaining backs played well up tostandard.

The forwards at the moment seemrather disorganised. McCarthy is notplaying well and nobody else seemscapable of scoring goals. However, itwas not a day for goal scoring and twoshould have been enough to secure a win.

After a scoreless first-half, in whichTrinity squandered several very goodchances, they were the first to score whenMcCarthy beat Hamilton from near theedge of the circle. Ten minutes later,Prestage ran on to a centre from Roweand pushed the ball past the goalkeeper.In the last few minutes, Beckenhamscored twice. Once a rather un’fortunateerror by Wood allowed their right-wingto score and a few minutes later theirinside-right pushed the ball past theadvancing ’keeper.

Last Saturday the 2nd XI entered the2nd round of the Railway Cup by beatingNewtimes. 2nd 8-0. S. Fuller (5) and D.Williams (3) scored for Trinity.

Junior League Show the WayU.C.D ............................... 5Trinity ............................... 3

The Trinity team, though under-strength, played a good match againstthe more experienced U.C.D. team lastThursday. Trinity scored the openinggoal, but were unable to maintain a lead,even when two U.C.D. players wer~ outof the water. O’Brian Kelly and Jagoewere prominent in attack, but betterunderstanding between forwards andbacks must be achieved.

In the Junior League, Trinity A de-feated Dublin by three goals to two, torecord Trinity’s only win .of the evening.The Trinity attack, supported by H. S.O’Conrmr, tested the Dublin defence tosuch an extent that R. Brownlee and R.H. Rooley had little difficulty in scoring.Brownlee’s second goal came from a goodpassing movement involving most of theCollege side.

Harriers and Athletic Club, 1959-60Last season the Harriers and Athletic

Club celebrated their 75th anniversary,in perhaps what was the most successf:~lseason ever. In the jubilee match ~ocommemorate this, they were ordynarrowly defeated by the Rest of Ei’e,a t r u I y remarkable pe~’formance,emphasising the dept of talent within thecIub.

Another noteworthy feat was thethird placing of the team in the U.A,U.Championships. Tjerund Lunde rose togreat heights, winning the individualtitle in the pole vault and the high jump,and Colin Shillington, last year’s captain,set a new championship record of 1 min.51.5 secs. in the half mile.

In all, seven College records werebroken, some of them being near inter-national class. Of particular note wereLunde’s 6 ft. 1 in. in the high jump,Francis’s 22.2 and 49:4 in the 220 and440 yards, and Shillington’s 1 min. 5].5secs. in the 880 yards.

In the Eire Championships this year,no less than eight titles were won byClub athletes, and several went on te winall-h’eland titles.

Next year we shall have virtually thesame team, under the captaincy of BobFrancis, so we can look forward to yetanother successful season. In the sprintsand quarter we have a formidablequartet in Francis, LovelL Kirkham andO’Clery, and we hope to see Mason, aformer Eire sprint champion, back to

form. In the longer distances we haveShillington, who ran in the BritishGaines and also had the best times of1 min. 49.8 secs. and 4 mins. 06.4 secs.to his credit; Quinlan and Roe. In thefield events, Lunde is our oustandingperformer and maintains a consistentlyhigh standard in no less than six events.Of last year’s team, he will be ably

Therewere 15 novice entries, and the experts,headed by Alec Malcolm and DaveLeonard, showed the way. J. Chaufourin a Peugeot handled his cary very wellwhen he remembered how the testsshould be done, and D. Southerland inthe Porsche showed how they can bedone with a minimum of fuss.

A Review of the Fiat SeasonBy "Windsor Lad"

The 1960 season will not be remem-bered by many, the pove~y of the3-year-old colts, save St. Paddy, and theimplementation of the Betting Bill in-troducing lice.nsed betting shops in¢0England as fram January, 1961, beingbut two of its unsavoury aspects.Honours went to Sir Victor Sasson,leading breeder; Noel Murless, leadingtrainer, and Lester Piggott, who at theage of 25, became the heaviest jockeyto win ,the championship since Fr~.Archer--a remarkable achievement anda tribute to the skill and power of thisfine ho~’sema~, undoubtedly th~ greatestclassic jockey in Europe, and a geniusat Epsom.

English horses, especially the colts,were a very poor lot. St. Paddy, byAureole out of Edie Kelly (a shortrunner) alone did the coun,try any creditwinning the Derby and St. Legor. Ofthe two-year-olds Sostenuto, a chestnutcolt, reminiscent of Hyperion looks aDerby-type, as does Test Case. Irelandproduced a fine strong colt in Chamour,Irish Derby winner, and Floribunda wasprobably the fastest 2-year-old sinceAbernan¢.
