Annual Extemporary Speaking Contest to be Held at U.

PRELIMINARY OCTOBER 25
By ROSS WILLS
Before 22,COO onlookers, the Cardinal and Gold machine of U. S. C. officially dedicated the new L. A. Coliseum athletic field last Saturday afternoon by walloping Pomona College 23 to 7, thereby demonstrating that they were perfectly “at home” to all comers in future clashes in the shiny new bowl, their new home.
While in the first half, with the first string eleven, Henderson's machine proved its worth by running the Pomonans ragged, the latter aggregation got revengeful in the fourth quarter and almost evened things up against the Trojan subs.
The first half, with first string0 men in the line and Riddle,

Newman. Campbell and Dolley in the backfield, was all 1 rojan. Pomona hadn t a Lhinaman’s chance against this line-up. The Sagehens were so awed they dared not attempt to take the offensive, they punted every time they had the pigskin in the entire first half.
The crowd seemed to agree that, while Gloomy Gus has rounded up a snappy first string team, his reserves are not hitting on all eleven, as it were.
Dolley and Campbell Star for Trojans
The work of Dolley and Campbell stood out, especially the latter, whose brilliant running brought the stands into the air several times. Dolley's smooth handling of the backfield was a revelation to those who had seen the Caltek fracas a week ago. With Chief Newman and Riddle pounding the line for substantial gains, this quartet showed plenty of class.
To Gene Dorsey goes the honor for being the first Arsity man to score a touchdown (or any points) in the new bowl. Gene, playing end, slipped over the scrimmage line, and when McCully, Sagehen, dropped the •ball he picked up the pellet and plunged 30 yards to the goal. Occurring in the first five minutes of play, it looked like the Trojans would have a track meet over the affair.
But Pomona looked 50 per cent better than last year, •when U. S. C. won the much larger score in their annual game, and, although the Sagehen line “gave” under the weight of the Trojan forewall, they fought tooth and nail and made it rather interesting for the rest of the half. Riddle Carries Ball For Second Counter
However, the Trojan attack would not be denied, and Pomona relinquished ten more points in the second quarter when Riddle lunged over the line for six points, Hawkins converting the goal, and the latter also getting a field goal from placement for three digits later on.
Several times the Trojans worked the ball, by briUiant end runs by

FRANK AMIS WILL ADDRESS CUSS
Frank Amis, a graduate of the university in 1907, and now with the display advertising department of the Los Angeles Times, will address the sales practice class at eight o’clock this morning. His topic will be “Advertising” and anyone interested *n the subject is invited to attend this lecture.
The speaker was secured through the U. S. C. Advertising Club and is only one of a number who will be heard at different times throughout the year.
Arnold Eddy, manager of the El Rodeo last year and now assistant to Gwvn Wilson, is president of the Advertising Club. Kenneth Stonier, business manager of the Trojan is secretary, and Harry Holton, present manager of the El Rodeo is treasurer.
The club is planning an advertising exhibit in the spring, similar to the one held last year.

Pomonans stiffened or the Trojans couldn’t pound hard enough when they got within scoring distance.
Dorsey's touchdown was made possible by three brilliant plays by Campbell. Seizing the ball on the kick-off Gordon ran it back 25 yards; then on the next play 5 yards around end. followed by another strut of 25 yards around the same end. All this time the interference was working like a charm, they were getting their men and opening holes in the line for the backs to crawl through. Once Campbell was off for a touchdown on the kick-off, but he stepped out ot ■bounds at the 40 yard mark.
In the latter part of the second quarter Otto Anderson and Elmer Wayahn went in for Campbell and Riddle. And although no more scoring was done in the quarter, both of them maintained the stellar Trojan attack. Otto, who has unfortunately heretofore seemed not to have hit his old stride, showed well enough that he is on the wav. He
Last Friday afternoon Coach Alan Nichols, Captain Bernard Brennan and Manager Ned Lewis of the debating squad of the University of Southern California attended the annual meeting of the Southern California Public Speaking Conference at the University of California, Southern Branch, at which time th# debate and oratory program for the coming year for Southern California was agreed upon.
The annual extemporary speaking contest will be held at U. S. C. on November 22nd. Each college of the South will send one representative. The general topic of the contest will be, “The Agrarian Situation In the United States.” One hour before the contest a definite subject will be as-sgined each speaker. The preliminary contest to pick the representative for U. S. C. will be held about Oct. 25th. This is open to any regularly enrolled student of Southern California.

All-University Hallowe’en Dance to Be Held Nov. 3
(Continued on page 3)
November 3 has been chosen as the I date ofthe first All-University social affair for the 1923-24 social calendar, which will take the form of a Hallowe'en dance. It will be held in the banquet room at the Elite on South Flower street. The committe in I charge assures plenty of room for all the students, from all the colleges. The Dentists, lawyers, premeds, as j well as all Liberal Arts students are ; invited to attend.
Decorations and refreshments will be suggestive of the Hallowe’en season. Evelyn Smith, vice-president of j i the student body, and her committee J are busy on plans for the affair.
"The Hallowe’en dance is your party,” says Evelyn Smith. “It is intended to help you get all worked up with the old Trojan enthusiasm in preparation of the big games of the
season. We hope also that at the party you will find opportunity to make new Trojan friendships, and will at the same tmie establish yourselves more firmly than ever as loyal, spirited Trojans. The dance will be strictly informal—no costumes—just informal dress. And here is another happy thought, it is free to all!”
BISHOP TO SPEAK

Program for Social Activity Oat-lined—Fraternities Enforce University Traditions
By HANCOCK,~~Dental Clinic ....
With one week of school now in the background, Dental students are preparing for one of the biggest years in the history of the college. Steps have been taken which have made Dentistry closely connected with the other colleges of the campus.
Friday witnessed a big football rally staged by the Freshman-Sophomore classes of he College of Dentistry at the Science and Technic Building. Dean Ford was present and announced the fact that this year the Dents will be allowed to participate in all athletics of the University. Previous to this time Dental students have been prohibited from trying out for football, but, under the new' ruling, the seasons to come will undoubtedly see a quota of husky Dents trying for the team.
Hank McCann put the boys through their paces and found, to his evident enjoyment, that the Dents will be there in the rooting section, backing to Trojans to the limit.
From the amount of pep shown at the rally there seems little doubt that the Dentists will be there in the rooting section, are Troian boosters to the sky, and are proud of their connection with old U. S. C.
Class elections at the College of Dentistry were held on Thursday and elicted a great deal of interest and keen competition. The following officers for the various classes were elected:
Senior class: President, L. C. Brown; Vice president, D. A. Dun-bor, Secretary-Treasurer, Floyd Open-
shaw.
Junior Class: President, Bert Olson, Vice-President, Winifred Holland, Secretary-Treasurer, Glenn Anderson.
Sophomore Class: President, Meul-ler; Vice-President, Cottam, Secre-{ary-Treasurer, Anderson.
Freshman Class : President, Bow'-ers; Vice-President, Stivers; Secre-tary-Treasurer, Bennett.
Fred Olds, President of the Dental Student Body, says that the social activities of the year are about to get under way, and indications are for a big year. At present, plans are under way for the big all-Dental barbecue which will be held within the next two or three weeks. Already a program of entertainment and sports is in the making. There are four big school dances w'hich will be held during the year and the annual beach picnic to come along later.
Real traditions are being started at Dental. Alpha Tau Epsilon, the Dental Honorary fraternity, met Saturday and is sponsoring the new traditions w'hich have been fully endorsed by Dean Ford. From now on Freshmen Dents must wear the regulation University Freshman hat. Furthermore they are not to wear “cords’’, that privilege being delegated to the Sophomores.
Neither Frosh, or Sophomores may wear moustaches only the Juniors and Seniors being judged capable of that highly developed art. And the Juniors wrill refrain from wearing white trousers in the Clinic at Sixteenth and Los Angeles.
Fraternity heads have declared that no Freshman will be considered for their fraternity who does not live up to these traditions and others of the University* and that members will live up to them or suffer accordingly.

At fifteen minutes to nine last Friday morning each and every member of the law school student body and teachers, including Mr. Tappan and Dean Porter, lifted their vioces in a mighty chorus, chanting the yells of U. S. C. in a loud and boisterous manner under the tutelage of Chas. Millikan, assistant dean. Mr. Millikan is not as a rule the yell leader for law school, but in the absence of Hank McCann who failed to show up until the rally was nearly over, he took the stand and put the lawyers thru a course of sprouts as to how the Big T should be done.

TROJAN KNIGHTS WORK
Student Guards, Ushers Handle Mammoth Crowd Skillfully And With Ease
Crowd of 22,000 Looked as Mere Handful in Massive Bowl
Spectators, who witnessed the Po-mona-Trojan game Saturday, saw U. S. C. students featured in many capacities. Not only on the gridiron were the students in evidence, but also along the sidelines were they found to be aiding in the management.
The band was one of the features of the game. Trojan Knights did a good job of managing affairs on the law school, was the principle speaker j grounds, while ushers .and guards of the morning. After a brief resume
of law' school history he told of the greater things that could now be accomplished with enlarged seating capacity in the assembly room where all the students could gather for a good rally. He particularly stressed the point that the students at law school should be ever watchful and ready to back U. S. C. in any of her undertakings and to always remember that she is their Alma Mater.
Chet Dolley, student freshman, at law school, and captain of the Varsity was the next and last speaker. He told of the support that was going to be needed by the team in order to put over the strenuous program which had been mapped out, and that law school must carry her share of the burden.
Mr. Dawson then took the stage and w'as about to fire his new'ly appointed rally manager for not having the king

U. S. C.’s “band beautiful” staged a spectacular manuever at the game Saturday when the musicians slipped out of the rooters section unnoticed, one by one, and then came out on the field between halves from the west entrance, in faultless formation.
CRITICS LAUD BAND
Critics declared that the band work and formation were perfect at the second appearance of the season. Stan Wheeler, color bearer, followed tradition. and appeared in trick hat and white kid gloves. Between halves, the band formed an original ensemble of two figure eights, marched over to the resting Trojan warriors, faced the U. S. C. section, and then back to their place in the center of tne bleachers. They kept enthusiasm at a high pitch, and at no time during the game did they lose pep. They responded to the pigskin heroes in

At this rally it is expected that there will be jazz band from Liberal Arts to furnish a little music for the occasion, and that McCann will be there on time.

Judging from the -e-spon.se given the different speakers the lawyers claim that law school has more pep per capita than any other college on the campus.

Another milestone of progress In the history of the University of Southern California became a striking reality when the Los Angeles Coliseum was dedicated last Saturday afternoon, as the athletic arena supreme, by the teams of Pomona and S. C. in the second game of the season. Technically speaking the U. S. C. freshmen and Santa Anna High had the honor of initiating the new turf but it was the varsity elevens of the two respective colleges that attracted the 2,200 spectators to the opening event.
A MASSIVE STRUCTURE
While 2,200 persons gathered at one place at the same time is a considerable crowd, the massiveness of the structure made them appear as two handfuls of persons to one standing on the top row of either end of the stadium. It may well be said that the seating of both sections was admirably handled because either section appeared as a complete unit in in itself with no smaller groups pro-miscously dotting the landscape. Both rjooting sections were effective as to noisemaking with U. S. C’c more striking as to color. Cardinal or Gold rooting caps on a white background, made possible by the uniform use of white shirts produced a stimulating collegiate atmosphere.
NEW ANNOUNCER
Acoustic properties of the new S.
C. battleground are remarkably good as was demonstrated by the unusual success of the electrical reproducing device installed by the General Electric Co., which kept the excited fans accurately informed as to the progress of the rival teams in action. Charles Kepper, announcer extraor-

Those guardians of the school’s traditions, the Trojan Knights, performed in great fashion last Saturday at the game. The Knights have many and varied duties to take care of any they were kept pretty busy at the game with the Claremont crew.
Buck Odermullen was in charge, and under his direction the Trojan Knights received the Pomona team and cared for t'hem during their stay. They took charge of the rooting section and quickly organized it for action.
Two unknown fellows in the Trojan section were overly filled with the spirit of the occasion. The spirit seemed to be working pretty well and they had to be shown the exit. After the excitement was over the crowd settled back to watch the game once more.
The Trojan Knights performed a very valuable .ervice and kept the crowd orderly. They will take care of the game next Saturday and wil? receive the Nevada team and take care of t'hem during their stay.

While the Coliseum is a city institution built by Los Angeles Capitalists it was intended to be a fitting place for all athletic endeavors and expressions of greater U. S. C., and rightly it is. The largest athletic arena in the United States related Or belonging to U. S. C. as it does is certainly the greatest incentive Western, and particularly Southern California, collegiate sports, has received up to the preesnt time.
FITTING OPENING
Saturday's exhibition was a complete success from all viewpoints. Pomona scored, that pleased the visitors; both II. S. C. teams showed a marked improvement over last week's game, that should have encouraged Henderson and the cardinal and gold rooters; the largest crowd wras present that ever saw an early season game, that speaks for itself; the many entrances and he new bleachers made it possible for the cash customers to come and go with comparative ease. Flying cushions, which were used to soften the benches during the game, nearly marred a perfect day due to the thoughtlessness of some individual high up in the stands of the visitors.
During the closing moments of the game many new fall stetsons and other headpieces were crushed in the extemporaneous “pillow fight.”
