COACH NICHOLS SPEAKS
Captain Brennan, Manager Lew is, and the Coach Outline Plans for Future
This affair at the Biltmore on the night of Nov. 10 is rapidly taking on a tangible form. Tickets are going fa6t. California has taken 500 and U. S. C. at present conditions looks as if it is going to beat that by a Delta Sigma Rho, national hono wide margin. As only a limited rary debating fraternity, was host to number of tickets have been printed this year's forensic aspirants last it is absolutely essential that* every Thursday night at the Phi Kappa
person intending to be present purchase his ticket immediately. Many are making the mistake of planning to purchase their tickets at the door. At the present rate of sale they are doomed to disappointment for they will find themselves turned away.
Several novel features are insured. Leu Stepp and his orchestra will furnish snappy up to date music. Having first performed at I^oew's State Theater and being so enthusiastically received, much is expected in the way of good entertainment. Decorations are said by the committee in charge, to be unusually different. With Ralph Mathesen and Jessie Haynes acting, as promoters, something great is j sure to be the result.
“This dance is to be strictly informal, as those coming from the northwill not be prepared for any formal function. So all those intending to come in formal dress—please change their mind,” says Buck Oud-dermeulen, prexy of Trojan Knignls.

Louis D’Liea, member of Delta Sigma Rho, spoke first and went into the history of the fraternity, telling Oi its many chapters Tn leading universities and the qualifications necessary for entrance.
Captain Brennan of this year s team next introduced Coach Allen Nichols who welcomed the new de baters and explained the squad sys tem. This method is the simple result of years of experience and ob servation on the part of the coach Under it U. S. C. has become one of the foremost powers in intercollegiate forensics in this country. A record of 28 victories out of 35 de bates testified to the truth of this statement. Only one of the seven unsuccessful contests was lost by a decision of all three judges. The others were split decisions.

Cider of uncertain vintage and tons of doughnuts were consumed in lhe ensuing battle, and everything would have been beautiful only the doughnuts created a craving for liquid sustenance and said nourishment was not forth-coming. To put it bluntly, the cider ran out.

Jabs, fullback from Santa Ana, carried the ball over the Trojan Babes’ line for the first score that has been made against the visitors this year and for the only Bear score of the game.
The game was hard fought all the way and fumbles and snappy plays mingled throughout. The punting of both teams was exceedingly good with Mills of California having a slight advantage over Lee and Field Thompson of the Trojans.
