Participants represented three colleges on the campus. Liberal Arts hcwever, furnishing the majority of the aspirants. Two women placed for the finals missing their last years representation by one. it is expected that they will again give the men a run fo rthe cups.

S. C. Musicians, Under Harold Roberts' Direction, Execute Stunts at Stanford Uame—Fifty Band Men in Uniform Made Trip to Palo Alto Saturday
Par ade ‘ Up Broadway Before Cal. Game Is Plan of Committee
Just to do things vp brown, tlie thousand Trojan rooters who went up to Stanford last Saturday took along the U. S. C. band, and it appears that the band tooted its horn rather impressively before the Northern folks. In fact, the band helped to stamp memories of S. C. game in the minds of San Franciscans almost as much as the score and the impression created by the rooters themselves.
One San Francisco paper foundo---
occasion to mention the work of the band. Spectators at the Stadium were free in their word of praise as the bandment formed the letters,
“U. S. C.” on the field in between halves.
Led by Harold Roberts the band entered the field just before the game began, following along behind the Cardinal football squad, and preceding the Trojans’ emergence some few minutes. The audience gave them a great hand, both Stanford and U. S. C. stands voicing their aporeciation.
Besides cutting capers during the rest between halves, the band joined in with the general hub-hub when Holly Adams scooped Up a touchdown and ran across the goal line to a strain of music in his ears.
But the band came into its very own at the end of the game, when the gigantic serpentine victory march of the Trojans, they played “High O'er the Field of Battle.
The band serpentined around the Stadium with a thousand S. C. rooters following arm-in-arm in groups of four for fifteen minutes and then stopped in front cf the Card’s rooting section. McCann led the Tro jan rooters in formation in front of the Cards and yells were exchanged.
Then the band struck up “Hail, Alma Mater” and lusty Trojan voices, now hoarse, took up the strains in unison.
The performance of the U. S. C. band by far surpassed the Stanford band, and many favorable comments were made by Stanford students to
this effect.
A parade up Broadway! Three thousand noisy, rootin’ Trojans to follow the band and ferment pep Friday afternoon, Nov. 9 for the California-U. S. C. battle in Los Angeles Coliseum! A giant rally caravan composed of several hundred profusely decorated students' cars, sprinkled here and there with fancy floats! Such is the plan of Hal Williamson, chairman ai the rally committee.
The parade will begin at the University at 2:30 p. m. and will strike for the heart of the city. Thirty floats are expected to be contributed by each campus organization, particularly the fraternities and sororities. Each organization is asked to begin at once on the preparations for building their float. According to reports, Los Angeles will sit up and massage their eyes when the Trojan parade will inform them that U. S. C. means to have Bear meat galore on Nov. 11. More mature plans will be announced later, said Williamson.
The Song and Yell Contest for the ?200 prizes offered will close Wednesday noon, ihe winning contestants to be announced the first of next wgek. Hugo Kirchoffer, the Song-king of U. S. C., will try out some of the songs ti:at have been submitted during T hursday’s chapel hour and some of the new yells will also be tried at that time.
LITTLE MATERIAL
Th'.s contest has not brought forth he amount of material that was anticipated, as only a few songs and practically no yells have been submitted. Hal Williamson, of the Com mittee which is to select the winners, says that some of the songs pres^n* ed are very good but that the one or two-yells that have been rceived are hardly worth considering. The main objection to most of the yells being that they are “high school’ in tone and are all directed against particular colleges, and could only be used in one game during the season.
From a student body as large as that on this campus it has been hoped that a flood of yells and songs would be sent in, as the Trojan spirit needs these new songs for its support and again the prizes offered are certainly worth the small amount of effort re quired to create them. Tf a large rumber of songs and yells were submitted a few exceptionally good ones would of necessity be discovered. The T'niversity song and yell book is sad ly in need of a few new numbers if it is to stand comparison with the songbooks of some of the other col leges of the coast.
LAST CALL
TENNIS CLUB
All members of the student body and the Faculty are invited to join the College of Music Tenuis Club. Regular practise hours will be assigned and later on a tournament wi’I be scheduled. There are no dues at present.

DAVID A. CLEVELLAND Secy.
A yelling, cheering, fight mad crowd hut refused to visualize defeat even n the darkest moments of the game! That was the Trojan rooting section at Saturday’s great struggle in the Stanford stadium.
The largest Trojan rooting section that ever assembled in hostile bleachers greeted the Southern California warriors when they trotted out into he Palo Alto turf Saturday, and from the moment the thousand men in the S. C. section rose and thundered forth their welcome to Henderson’s men, to that last delirious serpentine about the Cardinal stadium, those men. and
sound swept down from the Trojan section and rolled across the field to where the Red and White rooters sat in stunned astonishment at their team's failure to deliver the punch.
Again when the Cardinal jerseyed team did succed in smashing across the S. C. goal line, and the Palo Alto supporters were bursting forth with raeans of joy, the Big T echoed over the field louder than ever. There was a sound of appeal to it then, almost of desperation, but never K note cf defeat.
Then, when the tide of battle turned, and Henderson's men forged from be-
The Committee is sending out this last call for material and compositions will be received until noon Wednesday. It is ne-er too late, they cay, and ideas are what are needed ight now. There are plenty of musically gifted individuals available on the campus who will be able to apply the finishing strokes. The day of he BIG GAME is getting nearer and uenrer and on that grand occasion it is hoped the Coliseum will ring from end to end with the triumphant reverberations of new Trojan songs and yells.
By AUBREY IRWIN
“Lick Cal,” replaced the “On to Stanford” spirit of last week and will be the talk about town until the largest crowd of grid enthusiasts to have assembled before a western encounter are ushered to their places in the Coliseum on November 10. Beyond a doubt this game has already created more interest than any other game which will have /been played this year, and with the results of Saturday's play the dope barometer has reached a maximum.
Since a definite check upon ticket sales for this game has not been made, a conservative estimate regarding the number expected to witness the tussle cannot be given out, but it estimated that a packed stadium will be the results of the present height of enthusiasm.
EFFECT OF W. S. C. GAME
When asked for his opinion regarding the interest to be taken in this battle, Gmynn Wilson stated, “Due to the Trojans unique comeback and to the fact demonstrated by W. S. C. that the Bears can be held to a low score and even have their victory threatened by a weak team, U. S. C. is rated as the most probable contender for the championship. This will show as a result a rise in the early seat sales.” Wastington State has been rated as the weakest team in the Pacific conference being badly /beaten by Idaho and Gonzaga in the early season's play.
While interest in this game even reaches far eastern centers, the entirety of California will be well represented in the stadium according to the number of seats held for fans from the far corner of the State. Fifteen thousand are expected to represent the Northern Bay district while the balance will be composed of those around Los Angeles and south to Mexico.

Engineers Striving for New Members In Big Campaign
“There are quite -a few engineers who have not paid their dues,” said George Shindler yesterday. “This is possibly due to the fact that the new engineers have not entered Into the spirit of the A. A. E.,” he con tinued. “The A. A. E. belongs to all engineers alike, not only to the upper class men but to all classmen, whether or not this drive is to be successful lies with the incoming engineers."
Now that Stanford is put away, the engineers turn to their campaign with renewed vigor. Only one more day of the campaign remains. To date about 50 per cent of the engineers
have paid. “This isn’t so good,” as K. C. Mobary puts it. “Don’t, after the drive is over, have someone point at you and say ‘he didn’t pay his dues.’ Instead let them say ‘he helped its get 100 per cent membership and a beautiful loving cup,” continued K. C. *
Today and tomorrow all members of the committee on membership will canvass every unpaid engineer.
Only $2 is required to be paid now. The other dollar may be paid late.* on in the semester. “Beg, borrow or steal that $2, but get it not late than Wednesday,” stated George Shindler in closing.
Trojan Varsity has won over the Cardinals. Every year the Cards have set out to “get” LT. S. C. But they have lacked the supporting belief in their ability until this year. Before the latest game, sports experts up and down the entire Coast had predicted a Stanford triumph at last. But the Trojan come-back was something of a sensation to Pacific Coast football, and once again the big Red team from the big Red team from the big Red team of the North tastes the cup of defeat.
THE VARSITY GAME With the defeat by Washington still ; rankling in their hearts, and supported by the gamest exhibition of Trojan fighting spirit on the part of the student body ever shown by U. S. C. the colors of Cardinal and Gold were written by the Trojan warriors in vengeance in Stanford stadium at Palo Alto last Saturday afternoon.
Southern California won from Stanford 14 to 7. Thirty thousand rabid rooters looked on at the battle.
] Twenty thousand of these sat silent, dumbfounded, nonplussed, when the last whistle blew and the game was over. These were Sanford supporters. Ten thousand of these—the rest of the spectators—went wild over a great victory. This latter portion, represented Trojan supporters.
Cards Lost Game A Week Ago
In reality, Stanford began losing that game a week ago today at 9:30 a. m., when 3,000 students met the defeated Varsity with a rousing demonstration of confidence, on their return from Seattle. The Trojans p'.ay-ed Saturday as they never played before, us U. S. C. team never fought before. There was co-ordination, snap, perfect organization of attack. Altho Stanford had a decided edge in the first half, particularly the first quarter, the Trojans came back in the last half and completely dazzled the big red team into submission, outplaying them at every turn.
Holly Adams Counts Both Touchdowns Holly Adams, at center, ably aided and abetted by Harold Adams at end, and “Sw'ede” Anderson were a trio of line crashers that was too much for the Stanford backfield, and especially the Cardinal half, Nevers. Four times were Nevers’ punts blocked by one of this trio. Twice, that fatal twice. Holly Adams scooped up thte blocked kicks and bounded over the goal line for a victory that so pleased “Gloomy Gus” that he almost swallowed his ears.
Southern California’s first goal wa3 made in the second quarter, after Stanford has just scored. Nevers drew back to punt from his own 30 yd. line, and then, as the ball was snapped, Harold Adams shot around the Cardinal interference and bounded Into the air smacking the ball to (Continued on Sport Page)
