Tyrell Plays Spectacular Game at Center Intercepting Passes

SCORE REACHES 13-0
Next Thursday Opportunity will knock at the door of every Trojan, for it is then that the tickets will go on sale for the thirteen great events of the year. For three dollars and fifty cents the purchaser will obtain a pass book that will admit him to a series of entertainments that would cost at least thirty dollars in single admission tickets. For an additional dollar any seat in the auditorium may be reserved for the entire season. Those who plan on getting in on this big buy should do so the first day, as only about half of the tickets are available to the students. Five hundred are to be sold to friends •f the university and five hundred to the general public at a price of five dollars each.
Joe Ryan Manager Joe Ryan, the manager of the coming productions, stated: “Nothing in (his line on so large a scale has ever been attempted by the university. Every student should back it to the limit and put it over strong, as it is upon this year’s success that the success of the future years will be based. A great many other schools have these programs, and U.S.C. must not fall behind other schools. It is not only affords the students wholesome entertainment at a nominal fee, but serves to unify the student body by bringing them together for entertainment as well as for school work. It is the duty of every Trojan, not only for his own good but for the good of the school, to get behind this movement.

Fumbling in Backfield Prevents Gaining of Higher Figure
Defeating Long Beach High Varsity, one of the best high school teams in the State, 13 to 0 last Saturday, the Peagreeners of U. S. C. have proven that they know how to play football. Had it not been for fumbles in the frosh backfield, the score would have been much larger than it was.
Twice the Long Beach ends recovered the ball on the two-yard line, when S. C. backs fumbled. Riddle played a great game, ripping off yardage each time he carried the ball. Kellar and Bone shone in their work at the ends.
Tyrell played the spectacular game, twice intercepting Long Beach forward passes and galloping fifty yards for touchdowns. The first of these came in the third quarter, when the Long Beach quater, after making gains of 20 and 7 yards, attempted a pass, the ball sailed into Tyrell’s arms, and he tore half the length of the field for a score. Despite the reported speed of the Long Beach team, they were unable to catch the frosh center.
Tyrell was not content with his j first accomplishment, and in the fourth I quarter intercepted a long pass from Hyde, Long Beach right half, and galloped over the Jackrabbit lines for the i final touchdown. Line-up:

expressed themselves as being behind the movement one hundred per cent. Murry Heichert, the senior class president. says: “This is the very best system of handling our entertainments. We have been handicapped heretofore on account of the lack of a suitable auditorium, but with this removed, we can not only put on our own productions successfully, but can bring to the students high class outside entertainment.”
N. O. McKay, assistant manager of he Trojan, says: “No loyal Trojan could think of going to football games m single admission tickets, and it should be this way in regard to this series of entertainments. The budget system of handling these productions hould be the ideal way and the price of the season ticket is a mere trifle in comparison to its value.”
The Philharmonic Orchestra of Los Angeles will probably give the first entertainment The Philharmonic needs no introduction to the students of the ! LT.S.C.. as it has been heard by nearly j all of them, and those that have not had that pleasure, have a treat in store for them. This will be followed by the | Lance and Lute production, and others j which will be announced soon.

To Wilshire Saturday
Pigskin Art Is Now Elucidated
BACKWARD, TURN BACKWARD, OH, TIME, IN THY FLIGHT, ME A CHILD AGAIN, JUST FOR TONIGHT
MAKE
Harking back to the days of childhood, the entire student body of the University of Southern California will stage a great Hallowe’en festival at the Wilshire Country Club, Saturday evening.
’Round the last of October comes the time when goblins lurk in the shadows, and witches mount their traditional broomstick flivvers and drink home brew from the big dipper. Perhaps, mysteriously, oh, so mysteriously the parsonage steps were detached from their accustomed place and dropped in some tree top, and likely as not, whole fences disappeared from the face of the earth.
All for Joy
Reeta Walker asks every student in the University to report at the big jollification. Tradition has made the annual Hallowe’en party the big campus, social event o, the year. Every college prepares a stunt and all fraternities and sororities lend their support. Last year the affair was held in the U. S. Armory at Exposition Park.
Just what the program will be remains a deep, dark secret. Which not even a Trojan reporter could uncover. In ye olden days before Fords and shimmy dancing the major Hallowe’en sport was to walk downstairs backward with a mirron in the left hand. At the end of the ordeal the
face of your future spouse was popularly supposed to make itself visible in the mirror, provided, of course, that the aforesaid mirror wasn’t broken in an ungraceful fall downstairs.
Girls Go Bobbing In the land of genuine Scoach the fair damsels go bobbing for apples in a tub of water. This, too, is interesting albeit a trifle damp. Whether U. S. C. girls will “Annette Keller-man” remains to be seen.
Just for one night will the ultraexclusive Wilshire Country Club be given over to shades of the evil departed. Instead of Peach Melbas and pate de foi gras, the chef will concoct hellish brews of unknown qualities. No fatalities are expected, but Capt. Rogers, the football M.D., will be on hand to administer the smelling salts.
Shades of Terpsichore!
Only one item of entertainment has been made public—that the Engineers’ jazz orchestra will purvey the latest soul-stirring, shoulder shaking arias from Remicks. As an extra item of interest the club floor has been made especially shining and slick.
“Every man is asked to bring an ‘S. C.’ lady friend,” “aid Merle McGinnis. “We want no stags wandering around loose, but girls are emphatically urged to come in groups or as organizations. Remember, everything is free!”

The social season of the Societas j Sociatus was opened on Saturday , afternoon, October 22, when Miss j Florence M. Bischoff. president of the organization, entertained at tea. If this function can be taken as an indication of the year’s events, the women of the law school are very much alive and will be heard from often during the present school year.
Miss Bischoff. vice-president of the law school student body, automatically became president of Societas Societus. Mrs. Loraine Beyer was elected vice-president. and Mis Mildred Murphy, secretary-treasurer. Standing committees were appointed as follows: Misses Loraine Burckard, Jean Johnson, and Hanah Dande, executive committee; and Mrs. Ella M. F. Atchley

At a recent announcement concern-1 ing a party soon to be staged at the |
Wilshire Country Club, the statement was made that no fellow was to bring afi “outsider.” Do you not think that this is leaving the married ex-service man in the cold?
During the next chapel service, why hot have someone get up and invite all married Federal Board students to [bring their wives in place of some (co-ed?
Many wives of the above mentioned [student^ ar<j younp and handsome, and if scattered among your own co-eds I no one would be the wiser.
How about it, fellow students?
There was some discussion of athletics for the women of the college of , law and quite an enthusiasm was worked up over the prospective tennis club, which will be organized Wednesday evening at 6:30 in the Women’s I Room at the law school.
The executive committee announced I a strenuous program for next Satur-I day, including the football game, din-! ner at the Cinderella Roof, and the j All-University Halowe’en party at the I Wilshire Country Club, which they will I attend in a body.
November 5
“Only card-holders will be allowed to sit on the north side of Bovard Field, for there must a solid U.S.C. representation, and there are plenty of loyal rooters to fill that side. If you want to sit with them, you must have a ticket. Not even alumni can sit there, although they have special alumni tickets.”
The above clipping from an editorial of The Trojan of October 7th has just been called to my attention.
If this is to be interpreted literally, it is astounding, to say the least. The idea that only collegiate activity or organization can get along without the aid and backing of the alumni is a grave fallacy, which needs instant refutation.
During the years since graduation I have been attending as many of the college functions as I have been able to find the time for. Especially has this been true of the football games, and it has been my personal observa-tionthat not less than 20 per cent of the U.S.C. supporters at the great majority of the games have been alumni; and they sat on the U.S.C. side of the field and yelled just as loud as any undergraduate.
Now. you propose to bar them from their side of the field, to force them to sit with the enemy, to forego participation in organized rooting, to be, in fact, outsiders. It is disgraceful and insulting to the alumni, and the few I have had opportunity to see since reading the editorial, are very ready to express themselves as not desiring to subject themselves to such humiliation. In other words, they will not attend the games under such conditions.
If this is the result desired by those responsible, they have succeeded admirably. If they persist in the execution of this plan, however, they will have to look to some supernatural power for help, because the alumni will not do it under these conditions. And when the alumni of a college desert it, either by request or otherwise, it is a sure sign of decadence in that college.
Hoping there is some mistake and that the error may be rectified,
I am,
Sincerely for U. S.C.,
W. E. WILSON, U.S.C., ’17.
Convention of A. W. S. Women to Be Held in Berkeley on November 7
“A. W. S. was organized by the women for the women, to bring all the girls together as a unit, and it is the only organization on the campus which does that,” said Mildred Heinze, president, in an interview yesterday. “I want all the girls to realize that, and to feel that their membership in this organization serves as an introduction to each other when they meet on the campus. It will create the atmosphere of friendliness among the women which we want here in U. S. C.
“One of the biggest things that the A. W. S. does is to loan money to girls who are in need of a little financial help. There is a loan fund for that purpose.”
Miss Heinze also spoke of the convention of A. W. S. members to be held in Berkeley, November 7 to 10. All women who are going to remain in Berkeley the week following the game, and are interested, should see her immediately.
“I wish to urge every woman student in U. S. C. to remember that she is a member of the Associated Women Students, and as such, she should attend every meeting if possible,” she said in conclusion. “We cannot transact business unless we have a majority present. There will be another meeting at noon on Thursday in the Auditorium, and I want every girl to make an effort to come.”
Football is becoming so prominent that it should come into the candle glow for its panning. The first and j
last thing that makes football such an ^	c .	r~i
•	Oregon bupenor to 1920 Eleven
interesting game is the fact that the i v .. rw . i i w i i , ,	XT	* e* L/ereated by Wider
rules need changing. Nowhere in Still-1
man’s guide for coaches is there rules on how to treat the sore players; how to swear without the referee hearing it; what the different effects of “rough I	-
on rats" and liniment are on the play- Pomona Game Will Show More ers; and what a zits play is.	1
The reason that there are so many injuries in a game of football lies in the name itself. Now, if the name was changed to handball or baseball, there wouldn’t be half so many crippled players in the line-up. The game is always started with three cripples, namelj : the quarterback, and two halfbacks, who don’t seem to notice that they are missing some of their anatomy.
When a player is kicked in the head and his asterial body is visiting other planets the game is stopped. This would be perfectly permissable for the first three or four times, but after that the curiosity of the players will wear off and they should be forced to go on playing without waking the poor fellow up. Time out is usually taken when some member of either side has gone visiting and, in that way, the spectators lose something like an hour every day they visit a football game; and only because some unthinking player wants to do a little star gazing.
Another fault is with the quarter, who is generally so weak and puny, or so tall and stringy that his voice gets lost in the atmosphere before it reaches the bleachers; consequently, the “grandstandites” can't hear the signals. In that way many arguments start. One party will say that the left half crossed with the right end and the ball sailed through guard and center; and the other party will say it backwards, and neither one knows which is right .
The forward pass always was a weak point in football because it brings in the element of uncertainty and breathlessness which should never happen to a football team. The passing is generally through the air, where nobody can touch it until it falls. And as soon as the ball touches the ground the umpire will invariably bring it back to where it was passed from; therefore, it isn’t a forward pass, but as the French say, a fax pas.
The manner of counting score is unnecessary. irrevelent, and hard to keep.
The points range from one to seven leaving out four and five inclusive.
After the figures get higher than ten the average college student has a hard time keeping up with the score. If the score was counted in fractions, the numbers could be run up considerable without going above ten; and in that way no student would have difficulty in counting.
Generally the plays are so funny that the players have to laugh at them and that causes fumbling, which makes the game too uncertain for gambling.
Lastly, the list of alibis is far from complete. The old ones about the weather, the condition of servitude, and the swell head are becoming too dry even in this country. The ab’s should be jazzed up more such as: too proud to fight; color blindness; bad temper, etc.

Former Tennis
Captain Weds
Ray Morrow, a member of the class of ’14, Liberal Arts, and later graduated from the College of Law, and Miss Marion Towson, graduate of the University of California, were married Thursday at the home of the bride’s parents in Berkeley, according to word received here yesterday. The cardinal and gold of Southern California and blue and gold of the northern institution were blended in the wedding decorations.
Morrow was well known during his student days as a member of the varsity tennis team. He was captain of the racquet wielders .in his senior year. He is a member of Zeta Kappa Epsilon.
Alumni of the College of Law are planning a reception for Morrow when he returns with his bride from their honeymoon in the northern part of the state.
While the rest of the world is getting woeful about the coming rail strike, the probable war with Japan, or about the royalist comeback over in Austria, which last makes it seem that a king is worth more than a joker, U.S.C. has its hands full weeping moist tears into the new rooters' caps purchased for the California game. The cause is simple, yet all-inclusive. Elmer Henderson, the U.S.C. coach, has been to Berkeley and seen the Bears in action.
And the report he brings back is enough to make any Southern Californian weep. Here are a few choice bits as quoted in yesterday’s Examiner: “Oregon played better Saturday than they did against us last year, and yet California beat them 39 to 0 on a muddy field with a bunch of substitutes. Smith worked only six plays, and yet Oregon was helpless.”
Sincerity Evident Of course a football season would not exactly be a football season any more without Henderson sinking gloom into his strongest admirers and doing his best to persuade them that every hospital in the city either is, or will be, full of the dead and dying Trojans, who thought they were units In a good football team.
Yet Henderson says this isn’t his usual “gloomy stuff,” but something entirely different. Just what the difference is remains to be seen. One reading his statement would scarcely take it for the chortles of an optimist or the hilarious speech of one who sees everything smooth as silk before him, yet that is what it is; in comparison with other gloomy statements, according to their author.
In other words, when Henderson says, “Don’t bet on U.S.C.t” he is absolutely sincere, and the man who loses a wad November 5 will have no kick against the head coach of the Trojans.
Oregon Score Important Something that looms just as large on the horizon as the coach’s opinion, however, is the huge score, considering the weather, which Berkeley rolled up on Shy Huntington’s team a few days ago. Thirty-nine to nothing on straight football seems to indicate massive power somewhere, or, more likely, everywhere. Whether any western team will be able to overcome such a machine remains to be seen, and next Saturday and November 5 will tell the tale.
On the former date the husky Washington State team mixes with _the Bears and, of course, November 5 is also going to see a husky team go in for them.
Campus Sobered
There isn’t any doubt that Saturday’s happenings, together with Henderson’s report of them, have had the same effect on the campus that rain does on a hen—to-wit, a reduction in hilarity, if any was present before.
U.S.C. must back its whole confidence on the results of November 5 on just one thing—faith. In the two games played thus far, U.S.C. has done nothing of importance except follow (Continued on Page 4)
