ALL FOOTBALL MEN BANQUET THIS EVENING
Tom Mix Pleases Big
12 o’Clock Assembly
U. S. C. students were corralled yesterday into the Bovard Auditorium by the management of the El Rodeo, to be treated to a vaudeville show starring Tom Mix, the William Fox luminary, and to be induced to purchase a copy of the University annual. Following dismissal from the auditorium, El Rodeo agents solicited the book to the members of the student body. Sales will be continued today and tomorrow. Several hundred have been sold.
The attendance yesterday was the largest ever accorded to the annual roundup. More than fifteen hundred Trojans put off their lunch three-quarters of an hour to see the popular player. Applause following Mr. Mix’s speech nidicated that the students had been well pleased with the star’s appearance.
The bill was made up of fourj~ acts. Like a good Ford, the show hit*on all four. The dirt started to fly from the beginning, when a noisy bunch of five jazz players opened up for their first number.
So pronounced was their success that several encores had to be given in order to quiet the assembly.
M iss Whipple, a soloist, Avas second on the program. Among other songs, Miss Whipple sang a cuckoo clock bird song number and !“Carry Me Back to Ole Virginie.”
Her selections were well received.
The California Girls’ Quartette followed with “Peggy O’Neil.’'
“ Wfll-o’-the-Wisp” (Spross) and ‘‘Leave Me With a Smile.” All three numbers “went over big,” according to satisfaction manifested by the audience. Members ■f the quartette were Lucille iiihbs, Margaret Wilson, Madge decker, Maybelle Berry.
Tom Mix closed the performance with a short talk. Instead of the usual “I’m pleased to meet you in this beautiful hall and I don’t know wiiat to say,” etc., type of lecture which movie stars are prone to make whenever they appear “in person,” Torn Mix gave the students an interesting and unvarnished talk regarding his career and finished by inviting members of the student body to drop in for lunch some time at Mixville. “Don’t come all at (Continued on Page 2)

Ye Bull Pen Inn Is Scene of the Steak Tussle for Team
INVITED TO KINEMA
Famous Speaker Makes Friends of Entire University Student Body
IS UNIVERSITY PREACHER
See Charles Ray in “Two Minutes to Go” and Team in Action
SOCIOLOGY JOURNAL
Starting with the soup, the pigskin chasers, lettermen, near lettermen. and almost near lettermen—in other words, all the men who took part in the invasion of Berkeley for the game on California field—are scheduled for an enjoyable tussle with man-making proteins, including the steak, at Ye Bull Pen Inn, 633 South Hope street, at 6:30 tonight. It has always been the custom for all men who make the big trip to attend the banquet, as part of the recognition for their efforts.
TO SEE CHARLES RAY
A surprise in the nature of an invitation to see Charles Ray in “Two Minutes To Go,’ ’came from the management of the Kinema Theater to serve as a fitting climax to the evening. The football scenes in “Two Minutes To Go” were made with the help of the Trojan squad of two seasons ago, so many of the boys will see themselves in action.
Although the steak and movie will be big things in the evening’s program, the election of captain for the 1922 eleven will be the most important feature. /	\

Dr. John G. Hill has experienced a succession of thrills during the holiday vacation. For five days he was marooned in the Mount Baidy region, and found by a searching party, who. with ropes about their waists, had to wade raging torrents, returning drenched, cold and starving.
The very next day Dr. Hill left for the East to attend important religious gatherings in Chicago, Evanston and Cleveland. On his return he met with accidents, landslides and missing bridges which delayed the trip homeward for five days. He reports having changed trains eight times, and having twelve different locomotives pull him across the continent. One ran off of the track, another suffered from a broken wheel, then one train broke in two and started down the mountain, another train faced thirty-seven miles of washed-out track, at another time a crazv man with a big knife jumped through the glass in the car door and the professor and another passenger had to tackle him, disarm him and hand him over to the police.
Dr. Hill is a member of the Curriculum Committee of both the International Sunday School Association and the Board of Sunday Schools of the Methodist Church, which bodies determine all the Sunday School literature and its policies for the Evangelical Churches of America. Dr. Hill has been selected by these bodies to write two important textbooks—one for Teacher Training classes, “What Christians Believe”; the other for Young People, “The Life of a Christian.”
“Christianity Is Life Itself,” Declares Modern Disciple Before Tuesday Assembly
Dr. Henry Crane, nephew of the famous Dr. Frank Crane, is at the University for a stay of two weeks as University preacher. Dr. Crane has been enthusiastically received on every hand and students throng to hear him speak.
Dr. Crane does not have to depend upon his famous philosopher uncle for his fame. He spoke at Tuesday’s chapel and has had a full program ever since his arrival in Los Angeles. He addressed the four literary societies upon “The Narrowness of Christianity,” and the Y. W. C. A. upon “Girlhood," Tuesday evening.
A tentative program has been arranged for the talks of Dr. Crane to the students of the University. He will speak at today’s chapel; next week, at the regular hour on Tuesday, Wednesday at 12 noon, Thursday at chapel, and noon on Friday.
Dr. Crane can be seen in his office from 10 to 11 in the morning and from 1:30 to 4 in the afternoon on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and on Tuesday and Thursday from 12 to 1 p. m. and from 2 to 4 p. m. “We want as ijiiany students as possible to talk with Dr. Crane personally. I would suggest that students desiring to talk to Dr. Crane arrange for an appointment, in order that they will be sure to see him at a time when it is convenient to them,” stated Dr. Hedley, chairman of the All-University Religious Committee.
WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY?
Dr. Crane chose as his topic at the Tuesday chapel, “What is Christianity?”
“I am a very wealthy man,” said Dr. Crane, “I have a friend.
“He is a boyhood friend. We went through high school together; we used to read a great deal. One time after we had read one of Jack London’s books in which the fusion of blood between two friends was made, we went out in the woods and each of us slashes a wrist. W’e held our wrists together so that his blood might flow into my veins and mine might flow into his. So great was our boyish love that we wanted to do this as an expression of it.
“His name is Harry Wright. Now Harry is a civil engineer and a very splendid one. One time Harry got out of a job. He was up in Seattle. I happened to playing tennis with a man who is head of a construction company in that city. His name is Tuttle. I told Mr. Tuttle about Harry. ‘He is just the man you need to make your business boom,’ I said, ‘if you knew all of the things I know about him. you would take him this minute.’
“Then I had a dream. In this dream I was to appear before those in high official positions in that company, and in ten minutes tell them all of the good (Continued on Page 4)

El Rodeo, in the lingo of the American bullpuncher, was a place where some poor man with a loud shirt would break his neck for three bucks and get nothing but a shallow hole in the satre brush wTith a few cigarette stubs thrown in on the side. But El Rodeo, on the tongue of a college student at U. S. C., who has never learned how to cuss and smile at the time in a place where many a good man has broken his neck for three bucks; but in this case has gotten more than a first-hand knowledge of being able to talk to Napoleon and the rest of the dead ones in person.
The El Rodeo is a book of no little size designed to give any ordinary intelligent person, whether educated or a college graduate, a system of condensed thrills. The idea works on the same plan as the Carnation Milk, which isn’t a juice from the carnation, but a milk from the cow which is so con-(Continued on Page 2)

DAILY WORKOUT
Old-Timers Limber Up, Though Steady Practice Comes with Coach’s Arrival
CROMWELL NOW EXPECTED
Freshman Team Likely To Be Among Most Powerful in California
Dean Cromwell, track coach de luxe, is expected to blow in at any time now, and in the meantime a score or more athletes are working out daily under Fred Kelly, assistant track mentor. Cromwell has a habit of coming down from Oregon unannounced, and he may pop into view today or tomorrow or next week, for all the unsuspecting student body knows.
While Occidental college evidently has one of the strongest aggregations in the West, the Trojan team should be able to hold its own this year. The first meet will be held on February 18 at Redlands, and at this time the comparative strength of the Tiger and the Trojan will be determined. This Red-’ands meet is the A. A. U. Relay Carnival, which offers both glory and silverware in great profusion.
The track squad will not be out in force until the arrival of Cromwell, hut a few guiding lights are circling the track or jumping about the place every night. George Schiller is out doing the 440 in god time, and Forrest Blalock, who is always reasonably sure of placing in the s print events, is the hardest working man of the squad so far. '
Paddock has been out a few times, but will not get down ito real work until Cromwell arrives.
Dick Emmons, who vaulted 13 feet last year, is expected to show up within a week. Dick should be able to beat all the vaulters on the Coast this year, and oughtt o develop into the greatest hurdler in the West.
The freshman team is unusually strong this season. Big “Swede” Anderson, the weight man from L. A. High, tossed the 16-pound ball 41 feet standing still in his street clothes the other night. He holds the city shot and discus records, and next to Bud Houser is the best lead heaver in the State. He tosses the shot about 46 feet when he’s feeling rfght, and hurls the discus about 135 markers.
Oliver Cory is hard at work on the high jump. Cory is the best high iumper turned out in Southern California in years. He has cleared 6 feet 5 inches while in high school, and at the \a*tional A. A. U. meet last summer iefeated Dick Landon of Yale, world champion jumper.
Otto Anderson, whose high hurdle record of 15 seconds flat marks him as another Kelly and Thompson, is working out regularly for the frosh team. Andy should shade 14 4-5 this year.

IN AUDITORIUM
Philharmonic Players to Present Attractive Program This Afternoon
ADMISSION IS LOWERED
Fifth of “Great I 3 Events" Starts at 2:45 P. M. in Auditorium
Scheduled to give what is said to be the best program ever presented to a University audience, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Walter Henry Rothwell, appears today at 3:15 in Bovard Auditorium in the fifth of the Great “13” Events Series.
General admission to the concert will be fifty cents instead of the usual one dollar. The management has lowered the price to a point where students and friends of the University can hear the great orchestra at prices far below the ordinary admission and the program arranged is on a par with the “professional” appearance of the Philharmonic players.
According to Mr. Perry, of th** College of Music, the high class nature of the program, which is very different from the usual popular concerts given to scholastic audiences, and the fact of the assembling of the entire orchestra, a well filled house can be expected. The Glee Club manager again urges members of the student body to come out for the concert and make a large attendance possible. The financial success of the “13” Events depends entirely on the number of general admission tickets sold, and % students are urged to advertise the orchestra, and the coming events, to the public in order to help along the sale of seats.
HOUSE OPEN AT 2:45
The auditorium will be open at 2:4r>, one-half hour before the concert begins. No one will be seated during the playiffg of one of the numbers, making it necessary to arrive on time so as not to miss any part, of the program.
The general admission tickets are for reserved seats. The unreserved sections of the house are the rear of the first balcony and the entire second balcony. Holders of the season ticket books are asked to tear out the ticket for each event as it comes and hold the ticket loose in the book. This will allow' the doormen to move the crowd quicker.
SPANISH CLUB
La Tertulia will meet at 12 o’clock Friday, in S. 253.
