CLUB LAUDS WORK COACH AT HUGE BANQUET
Club to Present Gift to Trojan Coach this Week; Men. To Aid in Bringing Right Type of Students to U. S. C.
Endeavoring to show Coach Elmer C. Henderson, U. S. C. football mentor, that the alumni of the Trojan University was behind him in his athletic work for U. S. C., and expressing the sentiment of the thousands of men and women who have passed from the ranks of U. S. C. students, the Trojan Club last night honored the Southern California coach at a huge banquet held at Paulais.
As a proof of their appreciation of his work for U. S. C. during the past five years, Roy Haight, on behalf of the Club, expressed the esteem which the Alumni held for the Trojan Coach.
There were five times during the banquet and the talks that followed, when the club members rose in a mightv ovation of che°'. for Henderson.	O “You men should struggle ta get the

seat, the Trojan Grid mentor was greeted with prolonged applause. The second ovation came when the Coach was introduced to speak. The third occurred when Kyle Granger , who has been president of the Club for the past year, announced that the alumni wanted tc keep Coach Henderson as lon^ as he could coach football.
The biggest ovation was at the expression of appreciation and Coach Henderson’s speech thanking the alumni.
“For five years I’ve given all I've had to U. S. C.,J’ said the Coach after Granger’s talk “and such a \ demonstration ar this tonight makes me glad I’ve done it. U. S. C. is coming in to her own after many years o fighting.

The men had traveled for four days and nights, and then outconditioned a heavier team in that game. They w'on because they had a sentiment in their hearts and sentiment is what football is built on.
“Four years ago when U. S. C. started her climb to recognition, there was little competition on the team but the men fought and worked because they were building a University It is that spirit that I praise in U. S. C. men, and of which I am proud.” Kyle Granger said it was because
