Strong Cardinal Lineup Which Faces Trojans Saturday
John Hawkins
Our Trojans come home this morning, and when the nine-thirty train slides into Los Angeles, one thousand loyal Trojans will be at the Southern Pacific Station to welcome back their Alma Mater s representatives and let them know that, in victory or defeat, the University of Southern California is proud of her loyal sons who are putting forth their every effort to bring greater ( glory to the Car-^ dinal and Gold. £
“.Forget Wash- V i ngto n—on to S t a n f ord and California’’ will be thc cry from a thousand voices this morning when Henderson leads his men off toe train that brings them back from Seattle. And when the “Big T” rings out down there by the S.
P. tracks, the weary warriors who have made the long trip North will know that a loyal student body is behind them, believeing in them, and confident in their ability to give the Stanford Cardinals a thorough drubbing next Saturday.
“Now is the time for us all to show the real Trojan Spirit,” says Harry Silke, Student Body President. “Adversity always brings out the real qualities in a man. Give the team a welcome such as they have never dreamed of receiving!”
‘Are we downhearted? Wait until you hear that ‘Big T’ ring out this morning when the team comes in,” is the general sentiment expressed by the Trojan Student Body.
"Only quitters lie down and howl when a team strikes a snag and is defeated, and there are no quitters on the S. C. campus,” is the way one loyal Trojan put it.
An air of determination is the only visible evidence on the part of tbe Trojan student body regarding Saturday's setback at the hands of Washington.
PHARMACY STUDENTS START ACTIVE YEAR
Subscriptions to Fund For New Building Coming Through in Fine Shape
CLASS OFFTCERS NAMED
Annual Outing at Catalina is Planned for the Friday Before Cal Game
With the prospect of a new building ahead of them this year, students of the College of Pharmacy are getting off to a year of activity. Practically every member of the student body has come through with a subscription to the fund for the building which is needed so badly. Both student body and class officers have been elected as follows.
Student Body President—Clinton Talbot.
Student Body Vice-President—Keith Morris.
Student Body Treasurer-Bill Launs-paugh.
Senior Class President— Russell Twomey.
Freshman Class President—Keith
Morris.
The Student Body secretary has not been elected.
At a meeting held last Monday morning during the first period, several matters of importance were discussed. Petitions are being circulated to secure the Friday preceding the California game for the anni’al
Well, we will get Stanford now one‘day outin« to Catalina. Whether
or not the Arministration will grant this has not yet been learned as ihe names have not been turned in to
date.
A petition requesting permission for ! Pharmacy men to take class time for j practice for the annual Freshman-Senior football game is also being ir-culated. The game this year is doubtful as the attitude of President von Kleinsmid is not favorable toward the letting down of scholarship standards for athletic contests. This means that all practice must be held after four o'clock and as must of the men leave the campus before that time it maybe found impossible to work up the teams. However, the annual baseball game is assured in the spring and a trophy is up for the winning class.

ENGINEERS TO STAGE DRIVE FOR MEIERS
A. A. E. Will Work To Uphold Previous Record of Perfect Membership
COMPETITION IS KEEN
Other Chapters are Working to Take Honors Away From U. S. C.
and then California,” are the only expressions to be heard. And so this morning when the Washington express pulls slowly into Los Angeles, the Southern Pacific Station will be the scene of the most remarkable demonstration of true Trojan spirit ever given.
'“The boys fought hard for us,” states Hank McCann, ‘ and the student body must not feel pessimistic about the situation. We don’t know the inside dope on the game or what took place during the battle but we do know the spirit of the boys when the fight was on.* They will feel downhearted in not bringing home the bacon and wonder what the attitude of the student body will be towards them. Come on, students, they fought fo.‘ us so let'6 fight for them. If we lay down on the job now. victories over Stanford and California cannot be looked forward to with success. Everyone of us must appear this morn-mg at the Southern Pacific Station to welcome back the boys. Let's see you turn out 100 per cent and get them in spirits for the game next Saturday at Stanford.
U. S. C.’s chapter of the American Association of Engineers is opening a campaign for 100 per cent membership today. For the last two years the engineers have distir guished themselves by obtaining one hundred per cent memberships, and last year the University A. A. E. was awarded a loving cup which now rests in the Trojan Trophy case.
It is the plan this year to achieve the hundred per cent membership goal a third time, according to President Mobary and George Shindler. Campaign workers have been released -n the campus today to run dow-n every engineer until he finally gives in and signs the dotted line.
HOPE FOR 100 PER CENT The campaign workers realize that U. S. C. w-ill have a hard time excelling the record of all the other olleges in the country with A. A. E. chapters. Nevertheless, Mobary and his assistants are optomistic and hopeful of establishing a 100 per cent membership for a third time in suc-

Gwyn Wilson Decides To Brave Rolling Pins, All for Love
Wedding bells are in the offing, it is reported; or do they use organ chimes nowadays? Then there is a faint odor of orange blossoms, and visions of a soft fluff of tulle. And it is rumored that a minister is thumtf ing his ritual at the place that speaks of “love and obey” and “until death do us part,” all because Gwynn Wilson, general manager of the associated student body, has announced his engagement to Marion Bemis, a graduate of the University of California, Southern Branch.
FROSH MAY BUY HATS
Because it was impossible to get the new type of Freshman caps, which were designed for this year, in time, Trojan Knights have decided to use the Trojan rooting caps as Freshman head dress. The Frosh will be required to wear these caps on the campus at all times. The hats will bear a small letter “F” to designate them from the rest of the student body. The letters may be bought at any time in the Associated Students’ Book Store. Wednesday is the last day on which the Frosh can buy the hats and letters.
MEETING HELD TONIGHT
Important meeting of the Executive Committee will take place tonight in room 250 at 7:30 o’clock. This meeting is open to all students who care to attend. The committee is very anxious that the student body become acquainted with the work it is doing and for this reason urges the attendance of others than the committee itself. ^

Gwynn Wilson was graduated from U. S. C. in 1921. He was president of the associated student body in 1920-21. Last year he was made graduate manager and this year he assumed the duties of the general manager of the associated student body. According to himself, there are no definite plans as yet for the wedding.
When asked concerning his engagement, Gwynn replied, “What do you want to know about it?” The reporter was taken back at such a readiness 1o talk, but he recovered his composure and asked about the girl. “Oh, you might say she’s a vocalist,” he ad-mited cautiously. Then he was asked for a picture. “Yes, I’ve got one,” he said, “but I won’t give it to you.”
But there have been no arrangements for the wedding, he says; it is still a sweet certainty without being a prosaic fact. And there are silver bells tinkling in the distance, the faint fragrance of orange blossoms afar off, and also the very slight rustle of silks and the titter of pretty bridesmaids who will be laughing in the future.
Y.M.-Y.W.DRniEPROVES A
Incomplete Results Show that $2500 Has Been Raised Through Campaign
Y. M. C. A. FUND IS $1600
Officials of Campaign Thank Students for Good Support Throughout Drive
Incomplete results of the YM-YW drive give the funds raised in last week’s drive as $2500. The Y. M. raised $1600 and money is still coming in. Exact figures of the success of the Y. W. campaign are not yet available.
“We thank the students for the fine spirit and attitude shown toward the Y campaign,” Floyd Reeves, president of the University Y said yesterday morning. “Few people who were ask ed refused to give. Everything went off in fine shape and we are surely satisfied the w-ay it all turned out.”
For three days workers combed the campus for aid. Many were success ful and all remarked that the spirit that prevailed during the campaign was splendid. Few people who were asked refused to help, and according to the campaigners, students seemed to realize their duty to the two of all university organizations.
magnetic appearance gave the course a gala opening which will long be remembered and which started the series with a go.
Either the lovely quality of tone, the clarity of diction, and the feeling that Mme. puts into her singing, or her gracious personality would have gained the enthusiastic admiration of her audience. But since the artist has the combined merits of tone qual-
lections were enthusiastically received.
The concert last night achieved a two fold result, that of securing for Mme. Alda a permanent place in the esteem and affection of her western audience, and that of proving a success of the first number of the Artists’ Course.
An audience of 1500 heard the concert last night.
Faculty to Attend
CaL Game In Body
Faculty of U. S. C. will be in attendance at the Cal game 100 per cent from the present indication of ticket sales, according to the statement of Prof. William La Porte cf the physical education department. A special section of one hundred seats was reserved for faculty members last week, and were snatched up in a twinkling, Prof. La Porte stated.
Another section has been reserved and the demand for paste boards for the big game from faculty members will be far in excess of the supply, he stated.

TROJANS ARE REWILDERED RY FLASHY ATTACK OF HUSKIES
Coach Henderson’s Hopefuls Receive an Early Season Jolt at Hands of Well Balanced Team of Seattle, Northern Backfield Stars Throughout Game
TROJANS WERE IN GOOD SHAPE—NO ALIBIS
Two Touchdowns and Three Field Goals Comprise The Day’s Work for Washington While U. S. C.
Failed to Gain Materially at any Period
U. S. C.’s football team was defeated by the University of Washington eleven at Seattle, last Saturday. The score was 22 to 0. There is no alibi; the Trojans were in good shape, and weather conditions actually favored the Southern team. But they just ran up against a team that, quite unexpectedly, played bet-
9 ter football than themselves. 40,-000 people saw the game.
It was by far the most heartbreaking game the Trojans ever took part in. It was the first really vital, overwhelming defeat in five years for the Trojan warriors. The Cardinal and Gold fighters carried into the game with them the confidence of practically the whole Pacific Coast that they would be victorious over the powerful Husky eleven. Although they fought valiantly as they never fought before, they lost.
Perhaps there were psychological factors that strongly favored the defeat. It was their first game on a foreign field this season. They have been over-confident, or even overanxious. Another thing, Coach Bagshaw was fighting with his back to the wall to justify his continuance as Husky mentor; had he lost this game, it was said that he would be forced to resign.
U. of W. Back Field Played Brilliantly Many had thought the 1923 machine to be the strongest ever put out by Henderson, and that it wouM possibly win the conference championship this year. But the summary of the game shows that, although the Trojans were not outfought in spirit, they were out-played, out-smarted, at every turn, save in punting.
The Husky backfield played as inspired. The sensational running of George Wilson, the kicking and passing of Zeil, the field generalship of Sherman and the terrific line smashing of fullback Tesreau were too much for the Trojans.
And Westrom and Capt. Hall at ends overshadowed the Trojan wing-men by far, snagging passes, breaking up plays, like All-American players. The Trojans could barely dent the intact Husky line that, on offense, pushed the locals’ forewall before them and ripped holes for the Husky backs to plow through.
Wilson is Impressive as a Half Back
W ashington won the game on two touchdowns and three field goals. Wilson went over right guard for the first score eight minutes after the game opened. In the second quarter (CONTINUED ON SPORT PAGE)
ROOTERS AT STANFORD ILL HELP WIN GAME
Yale Offers Cheap Fare and Amusement Privileges on Northern Trip
CAN SEE SAN FRANCISCO
Yell King McCann Advises “Hoofing” it to Palo Alto If Necessary
“If plenty of students show their patriotism in signing up for the trip to Stanford on the Yale, our men will have a much better chance of winning the game Saturday,” states Harry Silke, student body president. “Every one who can possibly spare the time and money should make it his duty to go north.”
Next Friday at 4 o’clock the Yale will sail for San Francisco, arriving in time to give the students a breathing spell before the game. Fare is only $22.50, including meals and berth which is much cheaper than going by automobile. Besides the low fare the Trojan roters are assured every comfort and special entertainment. Dancing in the veranda cafe ballroom and radio concerts in the salon are only hints of what the students can expect on the trip.
FARE REASONABLE
The fare from San Francisco io Stanford is $1.50 for a round trip, and at 8 o’clock Saturday night the Yale will leave for Los Angeles in time to get the students here for their classes Monday morning. Those wishing to sign up for the trip are urged to do so at once. The students cooperative book store is the place.
According to Hank McCann. Yell King, the varsity needs the support of the student bady more than ever. “Each one of us has a chance this time to give our support, and make (CONTINUED ON PAGE 4)
MOTORING TO STANFORD?
HAND IN YOUR NAME
Those who intend to drive autos to Palo Auto for the U. S. C.-Stan-ford game Saturday and who have not yet secured enough students to fill their cars, are asked to leave their names with the Trojan before tomorrow noon. The list will be printed free of charge in the Trojan Thursday and Friday.
To Hold Preliminaries for Bowen Cup Contest Thurs.
Thursday afternoon, October 25th, at one o'clock, forsenic artists of the University of Southern California will assemble in the Tower to hear the question for preliminaries of “The Annual Bowen Cup Contest.” At least fifty are expected to aspire for the six cups which will be given to the winners.
Already those signifying their n-tentions to enter the tryouts have far exceeded last year’s quota of participants by a large number. The interest now being shown has never before been equaled. Last year only thirty-five took part in the opening fracas. At least fifty will match their speaking abilities before the judges on Oct. 25th.
Only three days now remain for
preparation. Those trying out must remember that a preparation upon the general subject is necessary so that they may speak for five minutes upon any particular phase.
Students of the debating and public speaking departments will be among the chief contenders. How-ever, students from Law are to be on hand to furnish some live competition. So far it has been impossible to tell how- many of the women students will take part, but in view of their last year’s achievements, many of them ought to rank among the
DR. LOWREY PRINCIPAL SPEAKER AT MEETING
Dr. L T. Lowrey of the Department of History will be the principal speaker at the next meeting of the HiatO'-y Political Science Club. Dr. Lowrey conducted a group of twenty U. S.
