FOR BEST ESSAYS
Three musketeers from the U. S. C. campus took a trip into the snow-clad mountains of Southern California over the past week-end and returned to Los Angeles as heroes of the rescue of a hiker who had been so unfortunate as to loose his balance some two thousand feet above the spot where he finally stopped rolling. Modesty forbids mention of their names, but Albert Tachet, Ercil Adams and Allen Siple were on the trip, which took in Ice-House Canyon, five miles back from Camp Baldy.
Sunday afternoon, as they were about to begin the return trip to Los Angeles, they made a special climb to get a snapshot of a location and after it had been accomplished, the three slid down the snow to a convenient place for the start home. Then it was that they spied the victim of their heroism and went to the rescue.
He was dressed in a necktie and a pair of puttees, the rest of his clothing having parted company on the down-grade. The necktie was in perfect condition, but according to reports the puttees were damaged. In spite of the fact that he was bleeding about the shoulder and in a dazed condition, Mercury was not seriously injured. They gave him this name because he took such an almighty drop when the snow fell.

Winning five first places out of a possible eight, U.S.C.’s gravel crunchers won the double A in the A.A.U. annual track examinations held at Redlands on Saturday last. Another first would have been carried away had not Otto Anderson cracked his shins on three hurdles, thereby being disqualified after finishing ahead of the field in the high stciks event. The Trojan score was a perfect 36, with Occidental, the nearest competitor, just half as fortunate.
GEORGE DOES A“PADDOCK”
“Spec” Schiller was the sensation of the meet. In the last event of the day, the one mile, four-man relay race, open to all comers, Schiller grabbed the bacon from the teeth of John Spangler, Oxy’s brilliant quarter-miler, by coming up from a twenty-yard dis advantage and passing Oxy’s last man two yards from the tape. In meets last year Spangler was "Spec’s” rival —this year he is “Spec’s” meat.
Waterman, Hughes and Torkenson, the other three members of the team, all ran pretty laps, but Oxy’s men were a little bit too good. Spangler was about twenty yards down the track when Schiller received the baton. On the home stretch “Antwerp Spec” just (Continued on Page 2)
Contrary to the original intentions, the £1 Rodeo sales campaign program in chapel Thursday will be vastly different from the one given by the management a month ago, according to Lowell E. Jessen, manager. What the nature of the entertainment will be has not been divulged, but it is understood that President von KleinSmid will be a main attraction.
“The El Rodeo is an All-University annual, dependent for its success upon the united support of the students,” states Jessen. ‘‘The junior class, it is true, has the distinction of putting out the year book, but that makes it not less representative of all the elements in university life, appealing to every class, organization and group in college life through photographs and snap-shots concerning their activities.
PRICE IS MODERATE
‘ ‘ Although we have increased the price of the book this year to $4.50, yet the total is moderate in comparison with other annuals published anywhere in the United States. A book of that size costs us $10, all of which, outside of the subscription price, comes through advertisements, with the exception of the small amount collected from the organizations for space.
“The book this year will have 448 pages, printed on heavy book coated paper. This makes the cost to the student at the rate of the rate of one cent a page, allowing two cents for inside cover leaves, and throwing a cover in free for the money if one should use the subscription price as a basis for figures.

IMPORTANT JUNIOR
MEETING IS TODAY
Juniors will meet in the chapel immediately after assembly tomorrow. Two important matters are up for discussion and for the support of every member of the class—junior play, and El Rodeo campaign.
Radical changes in the football rules have been suggested and approved by collegiate coaches and members of the rules committee at a meeting, held in New York last Wednesday. The abolishment of the present practice of kicking goal after touchdowns was the most prominent change advocated at the meeting.
Major Charles Daly of West Point who suggested the change, proposes that instead of kicking the goal, the ball be put into play on the fifteen-yard line, in possession of the scoring team, with the privilege of kicking, passing or running, to score the additional point. If a foul be committeed by the defensive team the point would be allowed. If the offensive team commits a foul the right of “conversion” is forfeited.
“CLIPPING” BARRED
“Clipping from the rear” would be incorporated into a rule with a penalty of more than fifteen yards, if the sug-guestion is adopted at the March meeting of the rules committee.
Shift plays also came in for its share of criticism, and a clearing up of the rules was recommended. The coaches also asked the committee to rule that a touchdown be allowed when the ball was held and returned momentarily after a runner carried it across the goal line or upon the completion of a forward pass l^ehind the goal line.
The penalizing of obstreperous linesmen should be outlined in the football code rather than in the rules book, it was suggested. It was recommended that when a player took time out, for more than the allowed three times, his side should be penalized by having the ball moved back two yards, though allowing the linesman to stay where they were, thus forcing their side to make 12 yards in four touchdowns instead of 10 if the infraction occurs on the first down.
Walter Camp, chairman of the rules committee, presided.
Collection of Spanish
Realia” on Display
ii
Get Your EH Rodeo
Displayed in the Spanish office at the present time is an exhibit of “realia” collected by Edith Johnson, the distinguished addition to the department faculty. Miss Johnson comes with the highest of records. She is a granduate of the University of Kansas. She has done extension work for the University of California, for U. S. C., the University of Madrid and for the Junta Para Amplification, of Asturias. For several years she has served as supervisor of modern languages in the Stadium high school of Tacoma, Washington. At the recent convention of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish, Miss Johnson was a member of the executive committee and was a presiding officer.
The collection was accumulated during Miss Johnson’s recent stay in Spain. Her time while there was spent in studying and in travel through all parts of the country.
There are all sorts of interesting things on. the tables in the Spanish office. Toledan jewelry inlaid in steel, gay-colored gypsy jewels from Granada. High combs from Seville are there, with the beautiful handmade black mantillas worn over them. Miss Johnson says that in Seville no hc*ts are worn by the women. In their places the high comb appears with the usual bright flower tucked among the dark locks.
BEAUTIFUL LACES
Examples of many kinds of handmade lace are on display. There is a lace factory in Madrid, which was erected by a certain countess to furnish better working conditions for the girl lace makers. This building is well lighted and in every way modern-ly equipped. It is one of the few of its kind in Spain. From this factory
were brought several pieces of lace.
There is one very lovely white silk mantilla which was picked up for a few cents in the “Rastro” or rug market in Madrid. Every Sunday morning this, the biggest rug market in the world, is held until one o’clock in the afternoon. The small shops spread clothes on the street and display their wares. Thousands of tourists and hordes of bargain seeking poor people visit “El Rastro.” Bright “mantones de Manila,” as heavily embroidered as if they had come from Japan, are spread as covers on the tables. At the present day these are used only to drape over the carriage back or over the railing at the bull fight.
Lustre ware from Talavera and Triana and tiles from the Alhambra form quite a little pottery exhibit. Velones of polished brass, like those used at the time of Cervantes, and shining candileja or night lamp seem all ready for the olive oil to be lit.
PEASANT VENDERS
Wearing their bright-colored native costumes, the peasants come down from the mountains to sell beautifully woven laces and lovely einbroidery from the hope chests of the maidens. The men wear corduroy clothes, bright red bandanas topped by a large hat and carry gay saddle bags over their shoulders. The girls who are with them wear full peasant skirts, black velvet bodice with ’kerchiefs over their heads. Miss Johnson asks, “Who could resist buying linens which came from the trousseaux of Spanish girls?”
Many other trifles are of intriguing interest; the red soldier’s cap bought from a veteran who said: “But, senora, ladies do not wear soldiers’
Bear meat is not the toughest meal in the world, but the S. C. basket ball rollers will vouch that it is one of the hardest sinews to chew on. The basi3 of this statement is founded on the two games which were held last Friday and Saturday on California’s home grounds, when the grizzly Bear defeated the Trojan 42 to 13 and 36 to 20.
The first game was nothing more nor less than a set-up exercise for the northerners. The S. C. quintet had astigmatism in both arms and legs; for which reason they couldn’t find the basket, or the ball. California played their consistent game, running up a large score in the first half and duplicating in the last digit.
SECOND GAME BETTER The alibis for the game are few and far between; because the team felt good before the game started, but not so good after the referee picked up the remains of the basketball. The men were in good condition; and the only reason the score was so high was in the snappy playing of the Bear five. The S. C. five were driven off their feet.
The second game was a different story. The men, smarting under the decisive defeat of the night before, were out to play the best game they (Continued on Page 3)

COSMOPOLITAN CLUB
Be informed, ye Cosmopolites, that on Thursday noon. February 23rd. immediately following the chapel, your group photograph for the El Rodeo will be taken at the steps of the Administration Building. Bring your friends who are from other countries, or who have the cosmopolitan spirit, or who expect to join the Cosmopolitan Club. The club is not limited only to the foreign students or to paid members, as is generally believed; it is open for those who have no prejudice to other students irrespective of creed, race or belief. For this end, we want to have a big group and are desirous to have at least a Mexican, Hollandese (Dutch), European and South American to join their North American, Russian, Chinese, Japanese and Philippine brothers.
