1000 Rooters Needed at Last Game According to McCann
That the practical work in public address given at U. S. C. is without comparison in this section of the United States was demonstrated at the recent Pacific Coast Public Speaking Conference. The U. S. C. delegates to the conference were Coach Alan Nichols and Ned Lewis and the latter took the highest honors possible on the coast in extemporaneous speaking by defeating the best speakers of all the major institutions of the west.
This was the first contest of its

“Hank” McCann, Trojan king cheer leader, has issued the following edict in reference to the Trojan-Vandall argument to be held in the Coliseum tomorrow afternoon:
“One thousand men rooters, m rooters’ array, must be present in the U. S. C. section tomorrow afternoon in order to withstand the Vandal oi-fense.”
Hank is none too optimistic regarding tomorrow’s battle and maintains that the Trojan warriors will face the hardest fight of the year, and that every ounce of Trojan pep will be necessary to put the decisive touch-down across. “A rooting section, as large if not larger than at the California game is needed, and in order to make it so,, every red-blooded Trojan will be there,” said Hank.
Lewris have returned.
At this conference the organization of coast institutions was better perfected and the debate program for the ooming year drawn up. Many stormy sessions were held, the question of audience decisions, three man teams, and admission of Rocky Mountain schools being the chief topics of consideration.

APPOINTMENTS FOR PICTURES NOW DUE
Photographer’s Headauarters in El Rodeo Office . Lists Are Published
Students have been very slow as yet in making ippointments for El Rodeo pictures. They should attend to this as soon as possible, for if everybody puts off making his ap pointment there will be a general rush during the last few days and the pictures taken then will not be as satisfactory as those that are taken when the photographers are not busy. All the apparatus is installed in the El Rodeo office and the photographers are waiting for the stud ents to come in. Mr. Miller, assistant of Mr. Gentry, who is making the pictures, emphasizes the importance of making early appointments. He said that the photographer’s time is valuable and they feel that they are wasting it if the students do not havn their pictures made.
El Rodeo is a student publication and it is up to the students to show their interest by ,turning their pictures in as soon as possible.
Those who should make appointments for individual pictures are:
Members of the faculty; Senior and Junior classes; presidents of the •"reshman and Sophomore classes; A. IS. B. officers; A. W. S. officers; Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. officers and ‘members of the cabinets; debaters and forensic officers; Trojan Editor, (managing editor and business managers; El Rodeo Staff; Trojan St£?ff; graduate organization; members of all societies, fraternities and sororities

ADVERTISING TALK LAST THURSDAY
Fred White of Lockwood-Shack-elford Agency, Spoke Before Advertising Classes
Going into tbe whys and wherefores of commercial advertising, Fred White, of the Lockwood-Shackeiford Agency, spoke before Prof. Good-now’s advertising class, yesterday.
Taking as an example of modern advertising Mr. White used Sinapole, which his agency has recently launched. Sinapole is a substitue for the old fashioned mustard plaster of childhood days. For this campaign five leading Southern California newspapers carried page advertisements. Smaller ads were used later with such catch lines as “Sister Susie has the Sniffles.”
Speaking on the Palmdale campaign Mr. White spoke of the hundreds of comments these advertisements have caused.
“Many people believe that the photograph of the young gentleman, attired only in his unmentionables, on the golf links or at the railway station, is indecent, immoral and an insult to public well being. But—The ads draw the attention.”
Junior Class Unanimously Sanctions Frojan Policy to Express Student Body Views
1	— —
At a meeting of the Junior class at noon yesterday, | resolution was passed that the class go on record as standing solidly behind the Trojan policy of publishing all news and student opinion “in no wTay impaired or colored* for expediency sake.”
The resolution was introduced by John Flor, a member of the executive committee, who said “The powers of the executive committee are being diminishd rapidly. The question is, shall the student bot?y be able to find expression of its opinions through the columns of the Trojan? In order to do so this class will have to stand behind the Trojan irrespective of stepping on Faculty toes.”
Mr. Flor also stated that while, at present, the powers of the executive committee are very slight, as that board can handle no affairs without faculty sanction, it was his belief that in tj^e future the powers of the student committee would become even
less. m
President George Orme said that in his opinion the presen^ policy of the administration, if carried much farther, would result in making this a “University that is safe for mollycoddles.” “Up to this time I have been in favor of their policy,” continued President Orme, ‘but it has become necessary to pass this resolution to protect the future of the Associated Students.”
The fact that the student body President Harry Silke was called before the Faculty board for expressing publicly his opinion of a certain faculty member who threatened to flunk his students for going to the Stanford game and missing an examination wras cited by Orme as an example of the sort of thing that this resolution is aimed against. ‘Surely the student body president, and through him, the student body as a whole, should be free to express his opinion on subjects pertaining to student welfare both on the platform and in the Trojan,” said the Junior president.
The class wrent on record as unanimously passing the following resolution “We, the Juniors of the University of Southern California do on this day resolve to unanimously ratify and sanction the policy of the Trojan in its endeavor to publish a University paper wThich expresses the views of the student body. We lend our unified support in the anticipation that the policy of the Trojan shall be for, by and of the students and not impaired or colored for expediency sake.
“We go^ on record this day to stand back of the Trojan in its attempt to convey student body expression, spirit and co-operation.”

Marlov/e production of "Twelfth Night.” The role requires that "Malvolio” appear cross-gartered before “Lady Olivia” of whom he is enamoured. In this part of the play Mr. Sothern appeared in a black Shakespearean costume fantastically striped with yellow. His black hose were cross-laced with yellow. His mere appearance caused a tremendous wrave of laughter to sweep over the audience. This is the characted that is to be portrayed by Prof. Blanks.
Much of the humor of the comedy is at the expense of “Malvolio.”
The play is to be produced by Frayne Williams. “Viola” will be portrayed by a girl of eighteen although on the modern stage quite a mature woman is entrusted with this part, i flrst Miss Marlowe plays this character. Viola’s brother is to be played by a girl so as to give a certain amount of reality to the scenes arising out of mistaken identity.
The performance of the play will be continuous—with one brief intermission. It is felt that the usual incongruity resulting from broken narrative, when the play is given in separate acts, will be avoided and the love story will gain in dignity, taking the rightful precedence over the broad humors of the low comedy characters.
DATE OF JUNIOR PROM fr CHANGED
Second Annual Junior Class Affair to be Held Wednesday, December 19
Plans are being made by the Junior class for the second annual Junior Prom, the date for which has bean announced as Wednesday, December 19. The ball room of the Wilshire Country Club has been engaged for the occasion.
This dance is for Juniors and Seniors of the University,” says Katn-erine Cattell, vice-president of the Junior class. The Juniors will be admitted only upon presentation of the card saying that they have paid their class dues. The Seniors will be given the opportunity, in the near future, of purchasing tickets for the Prom.” The price of the tickets will be announced later,” says Miss Cottell.
And when thai little stowing is performed, Fitzke. Stivers, et al, of Mathews' Vandals, Inc., to the contrary notwithstanding, one pertinent phrase which local fans expect to mark the last entry into the 1923 book is this: Idaho defeated bv Trojans, etc., etc. For, be it known that “Gloomy Gus” Henderson has himself come out with the statement that “it will be a hard game but we are going to win it.”
TROJANS CUT LOOSE
For the first time this year, the Trojans will be not only at the highest pitch of their form, but together with this they wiil, for the time, be in	-
position to cut loose with everything they have.
Campbell and New-1 man will be in the j game. Newman is now in ^ne shape after his siege with tonsilltis, although a little bit lighter in poundage. As for Campbell, a few broken ribs mean nothing in his young life, especially since the “Whizzer” is having the last game of his career. And fans may well expect Gordon to play the greatest game of his life tomorrow.
Couch Henderson predict^ that tomorrow's game will be the most sensational Coast game of the year, th^t Jt will produce more keen, open football than any other contest o fthe ’23 season. Idaho is frankly sore for getting some bad decisions, resulting in their defeat by Stanford, and tney are out to show themselves superior to both California teams; for by beating the locals who beat Stanfor V their cup would runneth over with pigskin pride in superiority.
IDAHO PASSING ATTACK
Idaho has been cleaning up the Coast this year with the greatest passing game of any college in the West, perhaps the equal of any in the whole country; the Stivers-FiU-ke combinations have simply routed the classiest defensive organizations on the Coast. It is Fitzke's style to kick one of his 50 or 85 yard punts down into the enemy's territory; then, when the enemy
