Don Cameron, president of the Sophomores, is expected to lead his warriors in the pushball battle. Since the Freshmn heave not yet elected a president, they will probably choose a leader for the scrimmage.
This annual contest between fhe Sophs and Freshies is one of flhe j most interesting events of the col-; lege year. Students accept It as more or less of an index as to the probable leader of the traditional rivalry between the two classes. Much interest Is also manifested in the struggle, by persons outside the University. When it becomes knjown that the annual battle between the men of the two classes is to be staged mant come from the outside to witness the event.
Announcement of the pushball contest was made in chapel last Tuesday at the time the Sophomores held their first meeting. It was also announced in the auditorium Wednesday when the Freshmen held their first get together.

HADLOCK IS NEW ATHLETIC MANAGER
Law and Dentistry will be Given Chance to Buy on Thursday and Friday
Twenty-five hundred season tickets are expected to be sold to U. S. C. students between now and the sixth of October. The sale started Wednesday morning, and will continue until the Pomona game. These tickets admit students to the rooting sections at all S. C. football games and other contests held on the campus, with the single exception of the University of California game November 10, and is good for fifty cents on the purchase of a ticket for that game.
If the athletic tickets were bought singly they would total something between $12.50 and $15. The price of the season ticket is $5.
BIG GRIDIRON SEASON U. S. C- is looking forward to the greatest football season of all years, and every loyal Trojan is expected to attend the games, and be in the rooting section. Last year the size and effectiveness of the rooting section was greater than ever before, but Yell Leader Hank McCann is planning to surpass anything conceived of heretofore. Men students are urged to secure rooters caps as soon as possible, so that a good showing may be made at the game with Cal.-Tech next Saturday.
Thursday and Friday of this week the tickets will be sold in the corridor in front of the Administration building. Bud Welin is in charge of the sale at the College of Liberal Arts. Members of the students’ sale committee will go down to Law and Dentistry Thursday and Friday also. All other colleges will purchase”“their tickets on the campus of Liberal Arts.
Only one ticket will be sold to a student, and it is for the personal use of that student. Those who have purchased season tickets may be seen wearing cordinal and gold tags which tell the campus that they are backing the team to the limit this season.
SENIOR SOMBREROS
OUT NEXT WEEK
Senior sombreros have been ordered and will be ready for delivery within ten days, as-cording to Stanley Wheeler, president of the Senior Class.
The leather band is of a new design this year. It will be one and one half inches in width and will of deep cordo-vant color.
Further announcements as to delivery will appear in the Trojan.
Coach Henderson To Tell Alumni of Grid Prospects This Noon
The U. S. C. Alumni Association will hold a luncheon at the Elite this noon. Coach Henderson will be the guest of honor, and from the number of reservations coming in, a large representation is expected.
Henderson, who is known throughout the country for the fact that his teams have won thirty-one gam^s and lost but three during the last four years, will talk on the Trojan football outlook for this fall.
Chet Dolley, varsity captain, and E. L. Doheny, Jr., president of the alumni body, will give short addresses. Doheny, who was a prominent member of the Class of 1916, was elected president of t^ic Alumni Association on Sepember 143.

This appointment is one that will meet with approval on all sides as Hadlock’s ability as a manager and his popularity as a leader have already been well proven. He has taken an active interest in athletics here since his entrance into the Uni-
“Recent Rumblings Through Europe” will be the very interesting title of Dr. Lowrey’s speech to be given at the first meeting of the History and Political Science Club which is to be held soon. According to James Mussati, president of the organization, Dr. Lowrey's forthcoming talk should provide knowledge as well as entertainment to all members attending. Dr. Lowrey, accompanied by some 12 tourists, most of them U. S. C. students, stepped out last summer and saw the wonders of European showshops. Political and economic conditions were observed.
Tully C. Knowles, president of the College of the Pacific and formerly professor at U. S. C., heads the list of outside lecturers to address the club during the present term.
Monday, October 1, the election of officers for the club will be held. All History and Political Science majors should be present and are eligible to participate in activities of the or ganization. Other students interested in History or Political Science may join on recommendation of a professor of either department.

Pigskin Review Makes First Appearance at Caltech Game Sat.
Participants at Saturday's football game between U. S. C. and Cal.Tech will find a slightly revised and more interesting Pigskin Review, the official football program published at I*. S. C. Cecil Carle. Trojan Editor, and Kenneth Stonier, business manager are putting forth their ef-tort^ to make this year's Pigskin Review an improvement over those of former veal's.
This edition of the review will be done in Sepia with a picture of two or U. S. C.’s football heroes in action on the front. Gwynn Wilson, former athletic manager has compiled a history of U. S. C. football for the Review. Up to 1914 football statistics were compiled by Hugh Willett, a member of the faculty. Pictures of U. S. C. football heroes, past and present, will adorn the pages. Mo5t of these pictures will show the football men in action. The Pigskin Review will be used at all the seven football games to take place this season.

“grand old men” and an interview with the gentleman is well worth recording.
"My, my how you youngsters of yester-year have grown,'’ greeted the old duck as he flicked a vicious wink in the direction of some wandering co-eds. “But have you heard the news, the children are preparing to hold their annual “Baby Show” at the gymnasium tonight.”
“Floyd Reeves, \\ M. C. A. president. Don Caremon, Sophomore pres-
and will be there with the rest of the old timers to give our children the U. S. C. welcome. So long gang see you tonight.” And with that Father Gander kicked a significant foot and shuffled off toward the Y. W. C. A.
But the old fellow forgot to say anything about the pie, ice cream and cake, the athletic games between sophomores and freshmen and and the annual serenade party. And maybe he could have said that the best part of the whole show is to be on hand and be one of the participants.
WOMAN’S SPORTS GET BIG BOOST
“Greater interest in athletic training for upper class women,” is the slogan for the coming year in the Woman's Department of Physical Education. With this in mind, two classes in sports and three in dancing have been formed. Though intended primarily for sophomore women, these courses are also open to upper division students and the directors are anxious that a large number enroll.
Special stress is being laid on dancing and in elementary and intermediate aesthetic steps are already under way. Plans are being made for a big pageant to be held in the spring. As the class work will be given up largely to practice for this spring festival, all desiring to participate should join one of these classes at once.
HOCKEY COMES FIRST
Hockey will be the next sport taken up t!his fall. Besides the regular classes in this activity there will be practice hours at noon on Tuesdays, Wednesday and Friday and from 3:30 to 5 daily. Any woman making her clas team will be given credit in the W. A. A.
Miss Thelma Summers, president of the W. A. A. has announced the first executive meeting will be held in the offices of the Woman's Gymn today at twelve. Interclasses schedules, and the advisability of joining the national organization and playing interclass-intercollegiate games will be important topics for discussion at this time.
Bishop A. Leonard, President of the Board of Trustees of the University opened Tuesday’s Ohapel services after which President von KieinSmid presented the opening address of the new year on “Univeritv Attainments” to a packed asemblv. Members of the Board of Education, Committee on Education and the Board of Trustees were presented to the students. The new Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Prof. Carl T. Waugh and sixteen other new professors and instructors were introduced to the student body. President Tully Knowles of the College of the Pacific also spoke a few words of greeting. President Emeritus Geo. Finley Bo’vard received a great ovation upon being duly presented to the students.
President von KieinSmid in his address spoke a word of encouragement to the old students and presented some timely and well chosen advice to the new students entering upon t'lieir college careers. He said there are three important reasons for pursuing a university training, the first being that of scholarly attainment. He said that while there are many activities in college of worthwhile nature that scholarship was paramount.
The keynote phrase which Fres. KieinSmid emphasized was “Leave no assignment undone.” He said that which is omitted one day is doubly hard to solve the next day.
A college education makes the recipient more effective for the work that lies in the future. For this reason he pointed out comes the necessity for application and concentration to studies so our mental tools may be kept sharp.
The second reason for coming to college is to learn men and women. One advantage he said is to learn mature persons. “Make yourselves known to your elder associate, your instructors and learn their methods and systems,” he said. To learn to get along favorably with your acquaintance and associates is one of the great battles of life he pointed out.
“Learn yourself and find yourpiace in t'he world,” he said. This is one of the things a college education brings out. “Education by exclusion is the progress of the world.’’ Social contacts should be on the highest and truest plane of social relationship,” said the President.
During the course of his lecttrre President KieinSmid emphaszed the worthnes of the traditions and said that the burdens rested upon the older students in the matter of enforcement. Hazing he pronounced an evil and entirely prohibited upon the U. *S C. campus.	,

Trojan Debaters Prepare ^ For Big Forensic Season
University of Southern California j orators will have an opportunity this season to compete with forensic artists of the leading universities of the East and with several foreign colleges, according to Debate Manager Ned Lewis. The schedule of this year is the heaviest ever undertaken by the Cardinal and Gold argufiers. The impressive record which the U. S. C. debating team, using the famous “Nich-cls Squad System,” made last year has prompted manager Lev/is to open negotiations for several debating contests with Canadian Colleges.
One of the outstanding debates has been tentatively arranged with the team of the University of Texas. This Texas team has lost but four debates in the past four years and came through the last year’s debating season without a defeat. Coach Nichols is confident that if this forensic contest can be sucessfully arranged, the Trojan speakers will uncrown the lads from the Lone Star State.
Searching through the records of S. C.'s squad of 1923, it has been found that the Trojans have won fifteen and lost but three contests. The squad, during its successful reign, defeated
some of the outstanding collegiate speakers in the country. Teams which have lost to the U. S. C. orators include University of California, Utan, University of Denver. Simpson College, Des Moines and the Southern Branch of U. C.
Not to be outdone by other colleges of the Pacific Coast. Manager Lewis is preparing to send a U. S. C. representative to the Intercollegiate Pacific Coast Extemporaneous Contest which is ;o be held up North on or about the 15th day of November. In the past years U. S. C. has failed to grab the first honor but this year owing to the fact that there are within the walls of U. S. C. exceptional public speakers, Coach Nichols expects a victory.
Manager Lewis in order to put over the intensive program has enlisted the services of the capable debater in the person of Victor Colburn. Vic's forensic ability won for him the Ames Freshman Debating Trophy which is awarded to the best Freshman speaker.
All who are interested in the speaking activities are requested to sign up with the debating manager as soon as possible.
Howard Coy was placed in charge of the matter of looking up the last election returns in order that recommendations for persons to fill the vacancies might be made.
It was announced that the new Freshman caps would soon be seen on the campus. These are to be in the form of varsity hats instead of the regulation green skull caps. When the caps are ready there will be a presentation service in which fhe Freshman president and vice-president will receive the cap and arm band from the student body president and vice-president.
Announcement was also made of the reorganization of th3 Troian Knights with a new system which will be described in a later insutf of the Trojan.
All members of the commltttee were called upon to talk about the colleges they represented. It is the hope of Student President Harry Silke that more students attend the meetings, which are open. The committee meets every other Tuesday.
‘AIDA !N BOWL’
“Aida” will be given at the Hollywood Bowl, Saturday evening. Student may secure tickets for one dollar and ten cents between two and | three o’clock, Friday afternoon at the box office in Bovard Hall.
Send the Trojan home to your friends. They w’ill be interested in | what we are doing.
