By ROSS B. WILLS
The big track and field championship meet, held by the A. A. U. at Redlands next Saturday, promises to be the first hotly-contested A. A. U. affair held there in many years. It will be a battle of giants, because the leading schools all have record or near-record men in
several of the events.
Although U. S. C. is favored to score the greatest number of points, this meet will mark the *
Trojans' supreme test this season.

Miss Violet says that special music and entertainments hare been provided for the large number of seniors expected to attend tonight.
ENTERING TWO TEAMS in the A. A. U. contests is a novelty for U. S. C. Heretofore the Varsity and Frosh squads have been merged to give the Trojan force a united front for the stiff competition the other colleges of the South have offered.
In entering the Frosh squad separately, however, Dean Cromwell expects to build up an individual tradition around the peagreeners, and give them credit for what they accomplish.

Although the course may seem somewhat short to followers of the turf sport they have to take into consideration the physical condition of both animals. A peanut butter sandwich and a box of home-made cigars will be given the horse reaching the Y. M. (\ A. office first.

SCHOLARSHIP REPORTS were finally issued, after the Registrar’s office had worked on them for nearly two months and a half.
Several significant changes were made in the list, with new members topping both the fraternity and the sorority rolls.
But of more interest to the student body is the fact that it took the registrar’s office about seventy-five days to get the list published. Why two months and a half are necessary to get out the ratings is hard to understand; and in the meantime the organizations are pondering their position on the list.

Saturday afternoon is bound to be chock-full of feature thrills, individual events, however the meet turns out. The 100 yd. classfr is bound to be a leading feature. There will be Yale Martz, Otto Anderson and Bert Starry (frosh) for U. S. C., Cliff Argue, the demon Oxy sprinter, and Redman of the L. A. A.

Hee. hee. ma. I just gotta laugh. 1 sure has a good one on old Hugo Home, one of my frat brothers. Hugo is majoring in electrocution over in the school of speech. Anyway, he hears so much about this race between Spark Google and Major Opal which the ad club is putting on at lT. S. C. that he starts out to go buggy riding. It is kinda chilly so he takes along some warmener in liquid form, lie drives a old buggy and away he goes.

Well, we likes to run over a horse and buggy. There we sees old Hugo Home in a state of conditions not becoming to Ippv Kak but more like a S. O. L. He was driving around and around the track.

HURDLE COMPETITION
But tho races that the whole sports-wise south are looking to are the two hurdle events. Charley Daggs of Pomona and Otto Anderson of IT. S. C. are unquestionably the leading performers on the Pacific Coast in these events, and the shade of difference in the class of either is so small it cannot even be seen with a microscope. They will mix it Saturday, in company with a gang of other would-be hurdle heroes trailing at their heels. Per-1 haps the closest competition either will get is from that swell stepper, 1 Mi-xwell, Daggs’ team-mate. Otto stems to have
Complimentary copy of the El Rodeo will he presented to Don Gillum for the ten best snapshots turned in for use in the annual, according to an announcement by Arthur Metcalfe, editor of the book. The award is made as the result of a contest which just closed to obtain intimate campus and frolic pictures of the students.
“Mr. Gillum not only turned in the best, but the largest number of splendid pictures, almost all of which we were able to use,” said the editor in commenting upon the decision. “He deserves a great deal of credit for his work, both for his snaps and for his other pictures. A great many of our athletic pictures were taken by him, and some unusual views that we otherwise would no tliave been able to obtain.
"There is, for instance, a picture of Charley Paddock, the U. S. C. speed king, in a race with Douglas Fairbanks and Charles Chaplin. We have some .other interesting pictures also that were given us by Gillum, and so there I is no doubt but that he deserves the hook. Several other good collections of snaps were turned in. however, among which that of Margaret Edgin should be mentioned. We were able to use many of the pictures that others . gave us, and because of the co-operation of these students the snapshot j pages should be very interesting to all of the students on the campus.
“Of course, since Dental and Law are having their own special sections in the book they will have their own pages of snaps which ‘they have collected. In the main part we have in eluded a page of Pharmacy snaps, and the Women’s Athletic Association has a special page. Then there are pic-at the houses, on hikes
Cardinal and Gold debaters. “Bill” j Barber and Roland Maxwell, uphold-I ing the affirmative side of the question, “Resolved, That the United States j - tiould adopt a Cabinet Parliamentary form of government,’’ defeated Wentz \ and Harter, negative debaters, to the | tune of a two-to-one decision, Wentz and Harter were sent with the highest • hopes from the Brigham Young Uni-: versity of Utah. This debate was the last of the season, and proved to be one of the best and hardest-fought verbal battles of the year. Roland Maxwell fought his la^t verbal conflict for tlie University of Southern California. The loss of this versatile debater, together with wright and Rrennan. will be heavily f*dt by the Trojan team r.ext year. Dr. Malcom acted as chairman. The judges were Judge Leslie R. Hewitt, .Judge of the Superior Court; Irving J. Mitchell of ?he Guaranty,Trust and Savings Bank, and Harry S. Harper, a well-known Los Angeles attorney.
Wentz and Harter of Utah proved to be. exceptional debaters. They built up in their constructive speeches cases which seemed invincible to the audience of three hundred. Both men possessed good platform work, splendid delivery, well organized material, and

Over $50,000 worth of merchandise h.is been crowded into the “YM." and with the pleasant odor of sweet-scented flowers contributed by down town florists, ind the strains of various campus orchestras, will mingle Ihe aroma of delicious doughnuts and other confections from the firm of Jevne and other contributors.

TROJANS STOLEN
All the Trojans that were placed in their customary places yesterday were stolen. It was necessary for the Trojan management to have two thousand extra copies printed to replace those taken. According to those in charge of publications, this joke or misguided sense of humor would have proved expensive to the Trojan had it not been possible to have the extra copies printed. An edition of the Trojan costs about $125 and without circulation it would have been impossible to collect on the advertising carried. Thlis the theft of what may seem to be but a few hundred papers amounts to the loss of several hundred dollars, and should the miscreant's, for whom a search is being conducted, be located, there will be severe punishment meted out.

The He-Man Number” of Wampus to Expose Males
Men of thc university, not to be outdone by the fairer sex, are to have a Wampus all their own, according to Al Wesson, editor-in-chief.
The HE-Man Number,” which is scheduled to make its appearance on the campus tomorrow morning, is expected to rival “The FEMI-NINE-GENDER Number” in wit and novelty.
The entire issue is devoted to a startling expose of the he-flappers and he-vamps of the university, *
fillly submitting their points.
Maxwell, leader of the team, realizing that the debate was to be his last lor the Sardinal and Gold, uncorked all the debating knowledge in his power. In the past. Maxwell has done excellent work for the Trojans, but in the presentation of his constructive speech and with a clear and convincing tone, put a climax on all of his debates.
“Bill” Barber was one of the outstanding speakers of the evening. Barber is considered as one of the best forensic men on the coast, and held up his reputation well in last Monday's debate.
“The debate of last Monday evening was one of the highest class. The LT. S. C. orators had a slight edge on the Utah men, but the debate proved to be no walkaway. Although the representatives of the Brigham Young University were splendid forensic artists. Maxwell and Barber should receive the most credit. All the speakers showed splendid knowledge of
TENNIS MEN LEAVE FOR OJAI MATCHES
To-dav Ed Berry and Joe Call, Trojan tennis demons, will set sail for Ojai, where they will compete in both the single and double matches. The tournament is scheduled to be run off from Thursday, the 19th, to Sunday, the 22nd. The meet at Ojai is the tennis classic of the west, and as such is always sure to excite a lot of interest. All the universities of !he west will be represented and some great net battles should result.

Edgar Hansen, director of "Campus Frolics,” and who will also direct the next big theatrical attraction on the campus when the "Senior Road Show' goes on the boards in‘Bovard Auditorium. May 10. is a disappointed ai)d slighily peeved man. In last Thursday's "Trojan" Hansen sent out a call for all members of the “Senior Road Show” cast to see him in the “Trojan" office some day last week. Very few of them answered the summons, therefore the director's grouch.
Hansen sends word that he will be in the “Trojan" office this week during the following hours: Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 1 to S; Tuesday anti Thursday, 2 to 3. All members of the cast, and especially the members of the “Campus Frolics" chorus are asked by the director to look him up without fail, for he has some important information concern ing*the "Road Show.”
Plans for the “Senior Road Show" are going forward in good shape, according to Hansen. But he says that members of the cast should now begin study for their parts.
A decided feature of the “Road Show" will be an act starring Willie Live and Musty Supher. The scflpt for this part of the bill has been written by these two comic writers. This, combined with the personal appearance of the “Trojan’s” famous comedy men, is said by Mr. Hansen to form one of the big surprises of the entire show.
"We expect the ‘Road Show’ for this year to set a new standard for theatrical excellence,” said Hansen today. “Our bill, in my opinion, will include (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2)

Willie himself says that the latter story, which he prefers to call “7 he Tie That Binds,” is the best thing he has written for the U. S. C. funny magazine.
Al Tachet. super-critic of the LTni-versity of Southern California, has contributed a play “written as a play should be written.” Originally composed for the Senior Road Show, it was later withdrawn by the dramatist because no one on the campus can act well enough to do it justice.
Aside from the pearls of Al and Willie, “The HE-MAN Number,” will contain several colored drawings and many black and white cuts. There will also be more original jokes and \ erses than in any previous issue, ac-* cording to the editor.

To Hold Senior Snaps in Expo. Armory Tonight
So rapid has been the increase in attendance at the Senior Snaps that Violet Weissman hopes soon to have them a 100% affair. She urges every Senior to be present tonight at the fourth Snap to be held in the Armory at Exposition Park at 7:30.
Blanch Moss is in charge of the program and has arranged for typical “snappy" entertainment. Gene Johnson's orchestra, with its teasing melodies, will scatter all trouble and gloom of the care-worn Senior, according to Miss Moss. She has also arranged for Mr. Turkle of the ■“Music Box,” across from the Old College, to give something
special, attd another number,
r * ■ f t*. veiled in deep secrecy, will
round out the evening’s amusement.
Correcting a report that has been circulating that the snaps are open to others than Seniors, Violet Weissman, vice-president of the class, states: “An erroneous report seems to have been circulated to the effect that un-derclassmen are entitled to come to the Snaps. We would be glad to include them in our good times, but tradition started the Snaps as a strictly Senior affair and we are anxious to keep it ac such. This means a chance for us to get acquainted.”
■ Notices have been sent to the fraternities and sororities that a 100% representation is expected.
