Deprived of its test match with Brae Burn, which had been scheduled tentatively for last Wednesday, the Varsity will enter the Toronto encounter without having met an opponent since the game in Montreal on December 23. Practice sessions however have resulted in a shift in the first forward' wall which probably assures a place in the starting lineup for lan Baldwin '33 at left wing and Benjamin Beale '34, who has been transferred to right wing from his defense position of the early season.

A spokesman for Yamanaka & Co. said last week that three years ago there was scarcely an important Japanese print left in Japan. Wall Street collapsed, and Tokyo dealers began quietly to buy. Today, even with the collapse of the yen, rare Utamaros and Yeishis bring far more in Tokyo than in New York. Brokers know that when U.
