are taking an active interest in college affairs was clearly evidenced last Tuesday night when their third annual Pageant was presented in the form of the festival of the Nations. A marked success, characterized by many varied episodes created a very interesting atmosphere and held the interest of a large audience throughout.

be staged as a Harvest Festival annually at Thanksgiving time.
A procession of the Nations served as an opening feature followed by six separate acts presented individually by the different groups. A grand ensemble closed the entertainment with much applause.
It wae hard to distinguish and grade the various acts in proportion to each other owing to the wide amount of difference in the character of each. Possibly the most original and cleverly presented scene was presented by the Chinese. In the form of a humorous Festival the act was beautiful to the uttermost in dramatic Chinese lan guage. Miss Elinor Chan interpreted and explained the progress of the pre- ^ sentatlon.	14

ATHENS, GREECE— (By Leased Wire Specialy to Trojan)—Preparations are still under way fitting the Wooden Horse for its expected attack upon the Trojan stronghold some time before Christmas. Those who are in charge of directing the movement of the invader report that the advance may be delayed due to a shortage of provisions necessary to fill the hold of the Wooden Horse before setting it in action.
Erciiio Adasmus and Rossus Will-Bio, assistant commanders of the horse, are working over time trying to get the thing out of the garage. The commanders were under the impression originally that ttfe Wooden Horse was equipped with a selfstarter; however, investigation has revealed their mistake. The horse has been found very stubborn and has refused to move despite all efforts of the grooms. Every inducement to action has been tried from the push and pull method used on the ouija board to hard, bed-rock mind-over-matter concentration. The horse even balks at sugary temptations.
(Editor’s Note)—It is believed that the foregoing report has some bearing ur»on the local Wooden Horse, a magazine published by the Quill
Washington Will Play Navy; U. S. C. Declines Xmas Game
By ROSS WILLS
Following a hectic, nose-bruising week of Button, button, who’s got the blutton, amongst the local post-season football authorities, it seems that at last it is certain there WILL BE a post season intersectional football game here this year—or rather, the first of next. And one could almost bet fifty cents that the Navy will play Washington In the Rose Bowl ■son January first. The football fan has been led a merry, dizzy pace through the news that Syracuse will play U. S. C.,
■---„ will play Washington Dec. 25th in
the Coliseum; Syracuse won’t play anyone; U. S. C. declines to play at all; California won’t play; Navy backs down, Washington does not know what to do, etc., etc., etc. But it now seems settled that the game is as good as on. Navy has renewed its declaration that it will play Washington, and further it has sent a communication to that school urging them to accept the Rose Bowl, engagement for New Year’s Day.
The only thing to make the contest an absolute certainty is the receipt here of the Northern faculty’s endorsement, said to be already given.
The Navy was confidently expecting that their opponent would be

The Freshmen extend an invitation to all outsiders who desire to poin in the joys of terpsichorean art next Friday night.
As a little advice to Freshmen, Bill Teetzel says, “Don’t forget to pay your dues. According to the announcement made in the Freshman meeting, the receipt for the dues must be shown in order to obtain a ticket. Dues amount to $1.00.

fied of California's unfavorable decision. And it looked for a time that the Navy would turn the game down but having an immense respect for the Northern school, they have welcomed the substitute opponent.
Southern California supporters received somewhat of a setback in hopes when, after wishfully believ-] ing their school would meet Syracuse on Christmas day. the faculty committee, with the endorsement of representative students and Coach Henderson, decided it would not be a good plan to tackle the Eastern team. However, U. S. C.’s attitude was quite understood by the authorities promoting the game, when it was explained by the local committee that, since U. S. C. just played Penn State the first of last year, it would be a hazardous procedure to place the amateur athletic standing of several of the Tr >-jan players in jeopardy by playing in two such games within one year. It was felt that, should several U. S. C.’s first string players play against Syracuse—and that would
