The Cougar glared at the Trojan. The Trojan glared at the Cougar.
The Cougar roared, and sprang forward. The Trojan caught the beast in midair wtih his huge shield and dashed the furious beast heavily upon the green turf of Tournament Park. A spear lunged forward, pricking the Cougar in the nose.
The Trojan had drawn first blood.
Again the crash against the shield, the prick in the nose and the retreat of the Cougar. Two rows of sharp teeth cracked loose, and then the half ended.
Score: Trojan. 14: Cougar, 0.
Twice again the Cougar was trampled under foot. And then he went mad. He snarled and crashed into the Trajan. The shield came up too late; the Cougar’s paw skimmed the top of the Trojan’s defense, and a sharp paw cuffed the strong man’s ear. It bled.
The Trojan recovered, and began kicking the daylights out of the Washington State Cougar. Then the whistle and an armistice.
Final score: U. S. C. Trojan. 28; Washington State College Cougar. 7.
It happened last Saturday at Tournament Park. Pasadena, and the Trojan victory gave him the title of Second Best Football Player on the Pacific Coast. The Pacific Coast, in this instance. is believed to reach clear to the Atlantic.
TEAM AT BEST
The fighting U. S. C. was at its best last Saturday. Nothing could stop it. The team that held California to two fluke scores crumpled under the furious attack of the Trojan machine. Four .times the Cardinal and Gold eroded the Cougar goal line, times “Swede” Evans kicked goal, thereby maintaining his perfect record for the season. The Swede has not missed a goal from touchdown this year, and he has had many opportuni- I ties to miss.
On straight football, on following the ball, on taking advantage of the breaks, on punting, on charging the line—on everything but forward passing tlf^ Trojans were the complete masters of the team from PullmanJ Banish the pass, and turn the Trojan j pack loose like they turned loose Sat-(Continued on Page 2)
Three one-act plays of the intimate j little theater type will be presents I by the dramatic class of the College 1 of Oratroy tomorrow afternoon in the c hapel of the Old College, at 3 o’clock.
| The playlets are, “The Camel and the Vampire,” an Oriental pantomime; Addie.” a serious play, and “He Said and She Said,” a comedy.
This will be the first of a series of student Wednesday matinees. Instead of the usual trip to a downtown playhouse on the mid-week afternoon, students will be able to obtain entertainment by merely stepping into the old chapel. Not the least interesting feature of the performances is the price of admission, which is twenty-five cents. Students having 2 o’clock classes will have plenty of time to reach the chapel before the rise of the curtain.
VARIETY OFFERED
“All performances will be well balanced.” said Miss Hubbard, instructor in the College of Oratory. “They will combine the ultra-modern novelties and comedies with serious dramas In other'words, there will be some thing to please everyone in the audience.”
On account of the intimate type of the average one-act play, a large auditorium would be unsuitable, for this reason the old chapel will be utilized. In keeping with the affair, programs will be discarded. A grand dame of the long ago. dressed in flowing silks and powdered wig, will announce the plavs and cast.
“CAMEL AND THE VAMPIRE”
“The Camel and the Vampire,” with specially designed effects, will be the first play on the program. The pan-
tomime is a clever take-off on the “he, she, and the vamp” triangle plays of the movies. Oriental costumes were designed and executed by the stage costuming class of the Polytechnic Night School. In order of their appearance the cast follows: Narrator, Fay Kern; Property Man, Luck Levering; Tom-Tom Girls, Mary Meyer-sick and Phoebe Sischo; Maiden, Florence Brady; Lover, Estella Obri-kat; Vampire, Sara Maude Benham; Villain, Ruth Goldsmith; Camel, Rhea Schlaak. Sarah Maude Benham’s vampire dance will be a feature.
“Addio” will follow the pantomime. The scene is laid in a bakery shop in New York City. The action ^revolves between four characters, Tomasso, an Italian, played by S. Seamans, from “The Great Galeoto” cast; Fritz, a Dutchman, portrayed by O. K. King; Harry, an American teabster, and Susa, the girl, Mildred French.
COMEDY COMES LAST
Closing the bill will be “He Said and She Said,” a clever comedy, carrying a moral. The action takes place at a [dinner party in a honeymoon flat. The ancient triangle play is given a new twist. The theme of the play is the old talk: “Of course, my dear, I don’t believe a word of it, but she said—” The cast: Enid the wife, Alice Ingram; Felix, the husband. Marquis Bushby; Mrs. Packard, the gossip, Miss Pucket; Diana, the friend, Elizabeth WTheat.
John Oliver, whose work as stage manager for “The Great Galeoto,” occasioned much favorable criticism, will direct the staging of the three-act play. He will be assisted by Mr. Wupperman as electrician.

WINNERS IN THE DEBATING TRIALS TO MEET TUESDAY
As an opera star Miss Alice Gentle \ for some time has been rated among the greatest singers of the day. However. last night students and friends of the University realized that the distinguished prima donna is also a star of the concert stage. Many who had heard Miss Gentle in “La Tosca” and in “Carmen” were inclined to believe that Miss Gentle’s talents were limited to the field of dramatic song, but last night they were furnished with undisputed proof of her ability to give an audience those intimate songs in which the voice alone, without dramatic action, must carry the appeal to the auditor.
Her striking appearance* added to a refreshing vivaciousness of manner, won for her the audience from the first number. Though born in the Middle West and raised on the Pacific Coast. Miss Gentle’s appearance and mannerisms resembled those of the lovely, vivacious women of Southern Europe, with her glossy and abundant black hair, expressive brown eyes and colorful and charming face.
In singing her songs, Miss Gentle so imbued them with the musical and poetic spirit in which they are written that every number was applauded, and at the end she was called back to the stage again and again. Her thoroughly artistic interpretations served to characterize her as an all-around pleasurable artist.
The program announced was as follows :
Today at the eleven o'clock assembly, I)r. R. B. von IvleinSmid, new president of the university, will speak to the student body, fftr the first time in his official capacity. Leaving Arizona on the first of this month to take up his duties here. Dr. von KleinSmid attended the football game on Saturday and watched his newly-elected proteges walk all over the Washington State eleven by an overwhelming score. It is expected that the same "genial species of welcome will feature the president’s first speech to the student body as a whole, and the auditorium is expected to be filled on the occasion.
The University of Arizona, over which Dr. von KleinSmid has presided for the past nine years, has not as yet selected his successor. In 1914, when he took up his duties there, the Wildcat institution had only a fraction of its present enrollment. Today the U. of A is a byword for efficient modern university training, it is said by those who have heard him that Dr. von KleinSmid is an orator of the highest order.
That today will see one of his best efforts goes without saying and is expected to make him at once popular with the students.
The president 's new residence is at 801 West 28th street.
Did I hear someone murmur something about “the eternal mystery, Woman?” , Oh, no, foolish one, if you were a girl for about an hour you would soon come to agree that there is a far greater concentration of inexplicable incomprehensible, and a whole lot more three-syllable-adjective mystery than the long suffering daughters of Eve. He’s a man.
If yqu take every word he utters as pure, unadulterated truth, he thinks you’re—well,—not sophisticated,—you know what I mean,—yet, if you get in the habit of discounting everything about twenty per cent he thinks you're a cynic and trying to appear bfSse.
If you tell him nice things about himself it frightens him,—and if you ignore his many charms and ‘admirable qualities it piques his vanity and he thinks you can’t appreciate a good thing when you see it.
If you object to his talking to other girls or having dates with them it gets on his nerves, but if you let him see you don’t care how he has a good time, he simply can’t understand you.
He wants you to always look nice, of course, and if you make your complexion perfectly obvious and wear the kind of clothes that ^he debutante moving picture heroines appear in, he hesitates jto take you out. On the other hand, if you just take the shine off your nose and wear tailored suits or something equally unobtrusive he dates you up but spends most of the evening looking at some other girl with a startling hat aiul gay cokfirs.
If you permit him to make love to you. he soon gets tired of you, but if you don’t, he is offended in the beginning.
If you don't object to his smoking and having a good time in his own way, at the first quarrel he will tell you you are leading hirn astray; but it is just as bad on the other side, because if you raise your hands in horror at his pet indulgences, try to reform him and show him the evil of his ways, he swears at the next disagreement that your continual nagging will drive him out of the S. and N. path.
You think he wants a pal, so you try heart-to-heart talks, etc., only to find out that it’s a soul-mate he is longing for. Then you no sooner become brilliant and intellectual, or even go to the extreme of becoming artistic. than you find out that his ideal of a woman is a good cook and housekeeper. And so on. and so on, and so on.
I’m not denying tjiat women can make quite perplexing things out of themselves, but the reason is perfectly obvious: they have to keep up with the men.

Everything That Wasn’t Nailed Down Burns in Pajamarino Fire.
Burning everything, from candy-striped barber poles to the adjuncts of a certain institution’s athletic field, the great Pajamerino bonfire was lighted Friday night, the eve of the Washington State game.
Nine lowly, repentant frosh were forced to listen to the triumphant cries of their classmates from a luxurious suite in the Unievrsity Police Station. Sine^-the time of Methusaleh’s student days at U. S. C., the police have considered it a moral duty to attempt to arrest at least half of the university This year’s toll was small.

VARIETY OF PAJAMAS Every known specie of the “robe de nuit” appeared in the pajama parade. There were brilliant reds, modest pinks, lordly purples, and - chaste whites. With blood-curdling war-hoops, these ebullient spirits of ’25, singed their eybrows about the fire.
Eugene Blalock, an alumnus, and former yell leader, spoke on the “Barn-fires” of bygone years. “Barnfire is correct.” he said. “That was just what they were.”
Oratory girls staged a feminine version of a football game, with lovely trained nurses, and frequent gruelling attacks on the powder rag. After an exceedingly rough quarter, the Trojan hero kicked the Washington “grid-
“BRASS TACK”
TALK THURSDAY
The third of a series of fifteen | “brass tacks” talks being given during j the year before students in the Adver i tising courses will be delivered Tuesday morning by Ralph S. Garnier, member of the engraving firm of Gar-nier-Seymour, and president of the Calforna Engravers’ Association. Mr. Garnier is one of the special lecturers selected by the Journalism department to present one of the important phases of advertising. He has been on the lecture staff for the past two years and has delivered several valuable messages to the young advertisers.
One more talk is scheduled to be made before the Christmas holidays to th(# same class, the lecturer propably being Henry E. Millar, advertising agency man, who will present the subject of lithography.
The “brass tacks” talks are one of the most interesting features of the work in the Journalism department, coming as they do from men who are in the profession in Los Angeles. In each instance where possible the subject matter is fully illustrated with advertisements, lay-outs, color cards and various other illustrations that make the subject real to the student.
Advertising students who form the membership of the U. S. C. Advertising Club are now looking forward to their second monthly meeting, to be held in December, at which Miss Florence Shindler, advertising manager of Desmond’s, men’s furnishing store, will be the speaker.

If Game Is Played Trojans Will Have Money For Gymnasium.
U. S. C. will play Centre College December 26 if it can be assured that no one or two men will get the greatest share of the profits, the faculty athletic committee announced yesterday.
It was also announced that in the event of Berkeley’s refusing to play at Pasadena January 2, the Trojans may be considered at possible opponents of the Washington and Jefferson squad.
The Trojans’ share of the gate receipts will be used in constructing a new^ gymnasium, according to the committee.
How sweet is victory! The Most Honorable High Coach “Gloomy Gus” Henderson, playing each card with supreme wisdom and with an impassive poker face, brought the fighting Trojans through a real season, and won all the chips on the table with the exception of one broken one, and he would have taken that if it were not for the “breaks!” Is U S. C. intoxicated with the wine of victory Guess?
As a result of the overwhelming victory over the Washington State eleven last Saturday at Tournament Park, Pasadena, an invitation has been extended by the San Diego Chamber of Commerce to the Trojan varsity to meet, in a game at San Diego, on Christmas Day, the Praying Colonels, of Centre College, Kentucky.
Whether this invitation will be accepted or not is at present unknown. The Pasadena Tournament of Roses committee, it is said, has asked the Trojan officials to withhold their answer to San Diego until the University of California either accepts or rejects their invitation to meet the Washington and Jefferson College on New Year’s Day at Tournament Park. California, for some reason unknown but not unsuspectecf. has been delaying its answer, and, if it is not received soon, the bid will be withdrawn and extended to U. S. C. The victoyr ov^r Washington State places thevTrojan outfit second in rank on the Pacific Coast, and although defeated by the Bear by a 38-7 score, the second position is a close one, because of the fact that Washington State held the Bears to two touchdowns, while S. C. crossed the sacred white line four times and threatened it two or three other times.
MAY BATTLE AGAIN
Many would have liked to see S. C. meet the Bruin at Pasadena last Saturday, and claim that such a game would upset the planets in the way of comparison to the Cal victory on ’November 5, at the Berkeley stamping grounds.
It will be to the satisfaction of all concerned, however, if California accepts the Pasadena game with W. and I., and the Trojan outfU migrates to the Southland City for a game of put and take with the Colonels from Kain-tuck.
Either way, it looks like Old Trojan will again don the Cardinal and Gold jerseys to do battle for the football reputation of the Coast, according to the attitude of the Athletic Committee. Howeves, the wishes of Coach Henderson and his men will be taken into consideration, as will the financial arrangements with the officials who secure the Troians as half the drawing card at their little party.

There will be a meetirfg of the Senior Class Thursday in the Auditorium at 12:00.
