Coach Elmer C. Henderson, who sends his team against Cal. Tech tomorrow as the opening game on the 1923 schedule, was guest of honor and chief speaker at the alumni banquet held at the Elite at 12.30 o'clock yesterday.
Henderson discussed the type of athlete which was wanted at U. S. C. and told of the personalities of the men now on the team. He insured the alumni that the Trojans wanted only men of the highest calibre. He lauded the spirit which the players now have.
The Trojan mentor was rather gloomy about the prospects this year and talked to some length about the losses sustained by this year’s team.
Linton Smith, vice-president of the association, was in charge of the dinner-meeting, in the absence of Edward L. Doheny, newly elected president. Smith was introduced by Harold Stonier, executive secretary of the University’.
Chet Dolley, captain of the football team spoke. Frank Hadlock, athletic manager, also talked to the alumni. Mark Kelley, sport editor of the Los Angeles Examiner, made a brief talk. “Hank” McCann, U. S. C. cheerleader, led the alumni ln a
Great expectations are predicted lor the U. S. C. Glee Club for this coming jiFur. The Club, which guve ms^y successful concerts Loch here ?nd in the L".st last year, have a still greater program planned for this year.
Last summer the Glee Club made stops at San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Denver, Omaha, CouncU Bluffs, Valley Junction, Moline, 111., Rock Island, and Chicago. The engagement at Chicago closed the club’;? season, and one week was spent there at the McVickers Theater, Chicago's newest and best theater. While in the East, the Glee Club received offers to appear for the rest cf the summer, but it was impossible to lengthen the tour further. Engagements at St. Louis, Des Moines, an 1 Davenport, la., were cancelled to meet the Chicago booking.
Next summer the Glee Club will go to the Atlantic coast. Bookings have already been made in New York, where the club is booked for three weeks. Two weeks will be spent in St. Paul and Minneapolis, besides an engagement in Chicago. The Club now maintains a manager on the Atlantic Coast who is arranging further dates.
Critics in the East gave the singers excellent reviews, proclaiming them the best College Glee Club to have appeared there.
Applications for new members are now being received, and it is expected that the tryouts will be given on Friday, October 5. A definite announcement of this date will appear in Tuesday's Trojan.
Horatio Cogswell of the College of Music is director of the Club, and Howard Coy is President.

berth.	J
Hayden Phythian and Stark will most likely draw the applause at the end positions at the start.
“Other players will alternate with these men,” Coach Henderson stated last night. ‘‘This is more or less of a discovery game.”
The Trojan backfield will also see Johnny Loutalot calling commands at quarter before the day is over and Tony Wayahan and John Riddle transporting the ball at the half positions with Henry Le Febere sit^ ting in at fullback. Gene Dorsey and Gerpheide will bend an oar to signals at the end positions in lieu of “Keu-tuck” and Stark and while “Swede” and Cummings get their rest Newerf and Thomas will make their bow to' Trojan rooters. Holly Adams will get a chance at center when Rice goes to the showers, and other of Henderson's prides will also draw a chance to show their stuff.
Little is known of the individual merits of the Cal.-Tech warriors outside of their gameness in past bat ties and sportsmanlike manner of taking a yearly drubbing at the hands cf U. S. C. Despite the writing on the wall which points to a Trojan victory, the Athletic committee is preparing for a large gathering.
The teams win probably line up for the opening whistle as follows:
About 300 were present, representatives coming from all colleges of the University. Another alumni meeting will be held just before the game with California, it was announced.

Fifty Men Named As ‘ Y* Social Committee by President Reeves
Fifty men students will be responsible for the entertainments and gatherings sponsored by the U. S. C. branch of the Y. M. C. A.
Floyd Reeves, president of the organization, stated that in former years too little importance has been placed upon the Y. M. C. A. as a social unit of the university. “The committee of fifty are going to put things over big,” said Reeves, “and we shall soon show Trojans that the “Y” is interested in giving them a good time. Every Wednesday night at 5:30 we shall meet in the hut to talk of programs and amusements of the future and every one of the fifty is going to push for success.”

Liberal Arts Has An Increase of Nearly Five Hundred
Liberal Arts can boast of 2528 students to date as against 2050 of last year, according to figures released by the Registrar’s office yesterday. The returns from the colleges of Music and Pharmacy have not yet been announced, and the college of Dentistry has not opened.
“The total increase in the student body this year,” said J. H. Montgomery, Registrar, “will be around 500 students.”

ELIGIBILITY RULE CLEAR
Question of Uniform Gate Charges Held Over for Further Consideration
Mr. Lhevinne here, a very worthy substitute in the person of Ethel Le-ginska will appear.
Particular interest is being paid to the Stuart Walker production of “The Book of Job.” This is one of the best of the old miracle plays, and is simple, dignified, and beautiful. The background of music is based on the old Hebrew chants, and the orchestration is carried on entirely behind the scenes. The production is essentially a spoken drama, however, but the whole is distinctively musical in its atmosphere.
Season tickets for the entire course are $3 and $5, according to the location of seats. Patrons support the work to the extent of five $5 or nine $3 season tickets, which are reserved, transferable, and may be disposed of as the patron desires.
To obtain tickets .notify the U. S. C. Women’s Club, 3551 University Ave., :Lo8 Angeles.
The 'Pacific Coast Conference met at Portland, Oregon, on September 14 and 15 to draw up new rules and -regulations as well as to clarify some of the rules which were then in effect but were much disputed. Representatives from all the schools were there which include California, Stanford, Washington, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon Aggies, Idaho and "the University of Southern California. Professor La Porte of the Physical Education Department of U. S. C. was the representative from here. He was accompanied by Professor Willett of the Mathematical Department as a visitor.
The first thing that was done was the changing of the interpretation r.f the rule defining participation The rule was first interpretated to mean that if a man even went out for the football team and never played in a single game, it would mean that he was to be credited with a year's participation. Now the rules read to the effect that a man must play in a game, whether it be conference or non-conference in order to receive the sanfe rating as that stated abtive. Even if he should play five seconds in a regular game, he is included in the rating. •
Secondly, it was decided that a player must have passed at least two-thirds of his normal curriculum in the preceding semester in order to participate. For instance, the non mal curriculum of a player might hive been eighteen units for the preceding semester.
The third rule is along the same line as the second and states that «o player could play if on his records there were failures in excess of one-fifth of his total. The following points were also brought out at tuis time that: (1) An incomplete grade is not considered either a passing or a failing frade as far as eligibility is concerned and (2) that a condition here is considered a failure until removed.
Fourth, that wnen a conference team is playing a non-conference team, conference rules are to be used. Of course, the non-conference team cannot be forced to use them, but they will be requested to do so.
Fifth, that no scouting for athletes by members of coaching staffs or managers of the same organizations will be permitted. At the same time there can be no complimentary Tickets passed out to any high school athletes, nor can they be entertained by any organization for the purpose of inducing them to enter a certain school.
Six uniform eligibility blanks are to be adopted thus saving much writing and misunderstandings.
These six rules were the only ones that were definitely passed. Several other points were brought up. but were not passed upon. The question of charging a uniform price for all the conference games was laid aside for further consideration.

Co-op Bookstore Popular With Students of U. S. C.
In what promises to be one of the greatest enterprises ever launched by the student body, the Associated Stud ents’ Store has opened with a bang of rushing success .Dean Fiske is more than overjoyed with the closing of the first few days of business and is confident that the general attitude of the students is in favor of their own store.
Being strictly co-operative, the new store is the outcome of several years of anticipation with many obstacles overcome. At last the deed is done. Carrying a complete line of books, supplies,jewelry and athletic equipment, the new store is able to supply every need of student and faculty. Since the store is not operated for the purpose of profit, the most reasonable prices are given. An additional cash refund will be available at the end of each semester to those who retain their purchase receipts. This will be derived from profits which may have accrued after the necesSHry running expenses have been taken care of.
The management is experiencing many handicaps with the first few days of business. Due to the late hour of opening and the late notices by a number of professors, many books and requirements are not yet available, but are being placed in stock as fast as the orders come in. “Our greatest handicap,” says Fiske, “is that we’re still somewhat green in our line. To overcome some of this, we want criticism and suggestions. Students, what is your attitude toward your store? Let us hear from you.”
In addition to Mr. Fiske and his chief assistant, Miss Baird, about 12 or 13 students are employed for part time to handle the early rush *for

Four Frosh Teams Used to Wear Down Strength Of Opponents
BY STEVE BiLHEIMER
Using a system which had the sophomore team completely baffled, the U. S. C. Frosh shoved across two goals and won the annual push ball contest between the Freshmen and Sophomores, which was held on Bovard field yesterday afternoon.
At was the first time in several years that the incoming class succeeded in beating the sophomores. Last year, a rope tie-up was substituted but the traditional push ball contest was revived this season.
Superior team work and a larger amount of material from which to choose, was responsible for the Freshman victory.
The contest was the scene of many bloody noses and torn shirts. The peagreeners came through with the unexpected and shoved the big ball acros the line twice, making the V) in favor of the freshies.
Over one hundred peagreeners were out on Bovard cow pasture at the start of the game while the Sophomores could raise only about twenty-five huskies. Leo Calland coach of the freshman squad, acted as referee and was assisted by Art Metcalf, chairman of pushball com-tionmittee; Geo. Orme, Junior class president; and the Trojan Knights, under Buck Oudermeulen, president of that organization.
Frank Ormsby was the capptain of the frosh, while Don Ormsby president of the Sophmore class, led the sophs.
Both teams lined up for a picture and then received instructions from referee Calland. The freshmen unearthed a yell leader in Archie Lewis, a little fellow who performed in great style.
Both teams lined up at their respective ends of the field and the whistle blew for the first quarter. A husky Soph reached the ball first and started the slaughter. The ball sea-sawed back and forth and was shoved out of bounds by both sides. The first quarter ended with the-ball out of bounds in the sophomore territory.
The peagreeners shoved in an entirely new team to start the second quarter and pushed the baTI across the goal line for the first score. The sophs came back and shoved the ball in the middle of the field until the half was over. Score Frosh 2, Sophs 0.
The half opened with a new freshman team and the sophs fighting for the ball. Some old veteran at the art of pushball, gave the freshmen the low-down and at once the sophomore shirts disappeared much to the Sophs’ discomfort. The Freshies, amid much cheering, got the ball started toward the goal line and succeeded in shoving it across a second time. By this time the Sophs had neither their shirts nor their dispositions, £nd the freshies held the ball until the half was over.
It was a big day for the class of 1927 and they serpentined over the field. Not satisfied with this; they marched up L niversity avenue and informed the entire campus by yells of what they had accomplished.
It was a well-fought battle and the freshmen won because of super-
