TO BE HARD FOUGHT xy sends us a little bad news in the m of an announcement that Yiv ton, mainstay of their squad for r years, and present captain, has yed his last game. He was gradu-;d a few days ago. This ought to ke the remaining Tigers fight all harder, we think, and so take it real bad news. Rigby will start at forward, Wagner at the other, Brahms at center, and Mansfield and Er-n at the guards.
Kenny White, who plays a forward the Trojan eleven, is hopping ound on an infected foot, which he pes to get in shape by tonight, iorge Boeck is suffering from an at-ck of the “flu,” and might not per rm.
The Trojan lineup for the game can’t guessed. Besides the above-men-oned, Kuhns at forward, Hindrichs center, Graham, Axe and Campbell guards, will probably get on the or.
Is woman a mystery? Nothing much, says the cynic he-man, who claims that he knows all about “them.” “Who but a woman would marry a man?” Huh! Who but a man would have a woman, there is no second serving on the table of biological differences. It's a Hobson’s choice affair. Man has to take woman, or /be a bachelor. Woman can be thankful that man is so often blind to the bliss of singleness.
What would happen to woman were man to demand the return of his rib? Matrimonial disturbances arise from the fact that the ribs seem to have forgotten their proper place. Man has been altogether too easy with his dependent. Old boy Milton had it right when he said that woman was made for man. Our conscience forbids our quoting Nietzsche on the matter.
Kipling sung tne praise of womankind (some of ’em ain’t), in “A Fool There Was.”—You object that this applies to vampires only? Well?
SHAW EXPOSES ’EM The super-critic, Bernard Shaw, in his super-play, “Man and Superman,” in which the super-six made its first appearance upon the stage, women’s wiles are stripped of their cosmetics.

McGINNIS WINS CONTEST STAGED BY HAMBURGERS
Another Contest Will Be Held Later Among Southern Colleges.
Merle McGinnis, president of the student body and a member of Delta Sigma Rho, the honorary debating fraternity, won first prize in the Hamburger debating contest, carrying off the silver loving cup displayed in chapel. The subject of the contest was, “Opportunities for the College Man in Business.” It was held at Normal Hill Center, Friday night, the 10th of February. The Southern Branch won second place and Occidental took third. Other members of U. S. C. who competed were Roland Maxwell, “Ginger” Davis, “Snap” Barber, and Lowell Troutman.
The purpose of this contest was to create a stronger business interest in college men which interest was certainly created. This gives U. S. C. prominence in intercollegiate debating and adds another victory to the list.
In his speech Merle McGinnis showed how business needed the college man and vice versa, revealing the various opportunities that are open if advantage is taken of them—even the seemingly impossible if only a shoulder were put to the wheel.
Opportunity will also be given at a later date to meet the winners in other Southern California colleges. A higher trophy will be at stake.

“Antwerp Spec” Schiller, king of the quarter-mile, is the new grand-chief-high-imperial-potentate of the S. C. Varsity Club, according to the results accomplished at the meeting held on February 9 at the Theta Psi house. Frank “Tubby” Lockett, foot ball star and College of Law president, received vice-president honors, while Leo “Babe” Calland, football captain-elect, was elected custodian of the purse. Lindley Bothwell, temporary secretary, received the position permanently.
A new constitution was adopted during the procedure of the evening, with definite and constructive plans for the new semester.
BASKET BALL MANAGER ELECTED Karl Diedrickson, who has been act-
George Gleason, an acknowledged authority on Japan, who has recently returned from a twenty-year stay in that country, will speak at Thursday’s Assembly. He will speak on some of the lesser known phases of Japanese life and also upon his work as a Y. M. C. A. secretary in Japan. Gleason is the author of “What Shall I Think of Japan?” recently published by the Macmillan Company.
Coming from Washington after a stay of three weeks,- where he observed the work of the disarmament conference, Gelason will undoubtedly state a few of his personal observations.
IN RUSSIAN WAR
During the Russo-Japanese war Mr. Gleason served for one year and a half as the army secretary among the Japanese troops in Manchuria. Those who were at Asilomar will testify that his experiences were worth listening to. In the world war he served for eight months with the Japanese and American expedition in Siberia. Gleason has traveled extensively in Russia, China and Korea, and believes that the problems of those nations are intimately bound up with those of Japan.
In 1897 Gleason graduated from Harvard and in the next year he secured his A.M. degree from the same institution. From 1898 to 1901 he was the student secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Harvard; later he became connected with the International Y. M. C. A. work and later was sent to Philadelphia.
IN JAPAN IN 1901
While in Philadelphia he was chosen by the Y. M. C. A. authorities, in 1901, to go to Asaka, Japan, as secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in that city, which is the largest manufacturing city in the Orient, with a population of 1,500,000. He remained at his post in Japan for over twenty years, building up the principles of Chritsianity and the work of the Y. M. C. A.
Gleason is planning to spend the next six months in Californa and then to return in August to resume his task in Japan.
The immortal Lincoln was the subject chosen by Dr. Merle Smith, pastor of the First Methodist Church of Pasadena, who addressed the assembly at Tuesday’s chapel.
“Great epochs usher in great men,” said Dr. Smith. “Great men seem to come in groups. In the group with Lincoln are found among other illustrious men, Gladstone, Tennyson, Darwin and Samuel F. Smith, author of ‘My Country, ’Tis of Thee.’
“Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks Lincoln, parents of Abraham, built their little cabin upon the south fork of Nolan’s creek. Great men are often associated with majestic streams— Washington and the Potomac, for instance. I like the name of the little stream, Nolan’s creek. It is as simple, as homespun, as plain as gingham, as homely as calico. Perhaps you couldn’t even find this stream on the map, but it deserves a place in history.
“No man knows what the world owes to Nancy Hanks, the mother of Lincoln. The style of Lincoln did not come unasked; the Speech at Gettysburg did not ‘just happen’ to be the immortal bit of literature that it is. In it as in his other speeches may be seen the influence of the New Testament upon his life, as his mother taught-him of the life of the Christ.

Aladdin rubbed his lamp on the first day of January and on the fifteenth day of February the largest basketball stadium on the coast was finished, and the dedication of the building is to take place on the same evening with a dual battle between the four casaba pushers. The freshmen will ring* up the curtain with a setto with the Hollywood High varsity. The battle royal of the evening will take place between the Trojan varsity and Occidental’s highest hopes.
Tonight will mark the passing of the first milestone in the revived game of basketball. And in cider to do the thing up in big league style arrangements have been made to give the turn-outs a treat of real music. Besides the music, Coach Lee’s gym squad will put on a few ups and downs between the two games.
LARGEST ON COAST
The pavilion is the largest and best equipped building of its kind on the coast. With the facilities it affords the stock in basketball should rise above par and rival its second cousin, the gridiron sport. In order to give the students an idea of what an undertaking it was to build the pavilion, a brief history of the building is given from the time it w*as a pair of toothpicks at the end of a string until the moment the boss carpenter said “lay off boys.”
Professor C. W. Cook of the Civil Engineering Department was commissioned by the Board of Trustees to prepare plans and details and to supervise the entire construction of the building and have it ready as soon as possible. Within three days after the board’s action, the laborers were building the foundations under the direction of Professor Cook.
EXCELENT FLOOR
It has a first-class maple floor, 54 feet by 98 feet, which will accommodate the maximum size basketball floor. The bleachers seat 2,000 people, or nearly as many as Bovard Auditorium. Under the bleachers. Professor Cook has designed a very good arrangement of locker rooms, shower baths, toilets, offices, etc. A large room for wrestling, boxing and fixed gymnasium apparatus will be provided. Across the front of the building are three large offices for the (Continued on Page 2)

ENGINEERS GET CUP
T
Engineers are requested to attend chapel tomorrow for a change. C. A. Hines, chief of the Department of Distribution Bureau of Power and Light, and last year’s president of the Los Angeles Chapter of the A. A. E., will present the university with two large silver trophy cups and a large banner, all of which were won in the recent membership campaign by the U. S. C. Chapter of the A. A. E. Dr. von Klien-Smid will accept the awards in the name of the university.
After chapel it is requested that all A. A. E. men assemble on the front steps of the Administration building and smile pleasantly at Mr. Ward’s efficient camera. This picture is for the El Rodeo, and it is essential that each engineer help make the picture attractive.
A recent addition to campus organization is a local chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, which was formally installed in the University during the last semester.
Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity is a national colored organization which had its beginning at Cornell University more than fourteen years ago. and now encircles an area covering some thirty-eight of the great universities of the country. Chapters of the organization are located at such institutions as Cornell, Columbia, Yale, Harvard, Chicago, New York, Northwestern, Howard, Wilberforce, Kansas State, California, and Boston Universities.
The name of the local chapter is Alpha Delta chapter, organized shortly before the summer vacation last year with fifteen charter members, who have purposed to maintain the highest traditions of U. S. B., both in scholarship and other lines of school activities. It is the aim of the members of Alpha Delta chapter to foster and promote a wider outlook on things common to college life.
The president is Bert McDonald, College of Law; vice-president, William Villon, Dental College; secretary, Gus Greene, Dental College; assistant secretary, Samuel Danley, Jr., Liberal Arts; treasurer, Howard Allen, Liberal Arts; critic-historian, James Me Gregor, Liberal Arts.
Recent pledges of Alpha Phi Alpha are Ivan Johnson, Grant Venerable, Thomas Reed and E. P. Guess.
They’re polishing up the handle on the big front door of the auditorium to be in readiness for the first curtain of the junior play, Thursday night, February 23d.
College tradition has always made the junior play the big dramatic event of the year, and according lo Robert Broadwell, manager, this year’s play will not break the rule. “You Never Can Tell,” a farce from the pen of George Bernard Shaw, has been chosen for presentation. Authorities on the drama are universally agreed in giving this play one of the highest of places among comedies.
It would be giving away the great secret of the play to divulge the plot, but in all of Shaw’s, the plot holds secondary place to the brilliance of the lines.
LIGHT COMEDY CHOSEN
Last year a drama was chosen for production, but the lightest of farces have been chosen this year.
Special settings are being prepared for the four acts of the play, while lighting effects will be up to professional standards. A downtown store has contracted to provide costumes for the cast.
Those students who were so well stocked with money as to be able to attend the theater during Pavlowa’s visit to Los Angeles, are promised still more aesthetic thrills. Two well known campus figures will do the ‘Denishawn” in the fourth act.
DRESS REHEARSAL SOON
Rehearsals are now going on at full speed on the auditorium stage. Dress rehearsal is scheduled for next Monday.
Those who take part in the play are Berdine Jackman and Howard Bridegroom, the twins, Elizabeth Wheat, Mary Meyersick, Julian Summers, Robert Broadwell, Bob Reynolds, Maxwell Chamberlain and Frances Cat-tell.

Will Cleopatra Become Jealous?
CHARLES IN SPIKES AGAIN
Helen of Troy is jealous, Cleopatra has taken in her shingle and the Lorelei dropped her comb in a fit of pique. And this is why it aJl happened:
In tapping the terrestrial thought waves they found that an idea rather damaging to their prestige is quite prevalent in Southern California. Idest: Women are as fair as they used to be. The Times things they are, the Examiner thinks they are and (here is where the news comes in) so does the Trojan; so much so that it has decided to prove to the world that the confines of its own campus hold as satisfying specimens of adolescent pulchritude as are found anywhere in Los Angeles, Troy or the South Seas. BROWNIES IN VOGUE There are several ways of awarding the trophy, or rather of deciding on the victim. One might seize his Brownie and park at the chapel door, provided of course, the good looking girls happened to be at chapel that day. Or he might use his cartooning ability, only in that case he might put too many lines in her eyebrows and she would never love him any more.
However, all things considered, even so notwithstanding and in view of these facts, it seems according to the prescribed order of newspaper competition, the Trojan should have a beauty contest. Now all that remains is to find the beauties.
While sport writers on every paper in the United States and England have been devoting columns of space over the question, “Will Charles Run?” or “Won’t Charles Run?” Coach Dean Cromwell, track mentor at this institution, just shut his eyes and smiled. The wise men of the local press expostulated and fumed, but Cromwell just sat tight, after once declaring, “Paddock will run.”
It’s all settled now and “Won’t Paddock Run!” He appeared on the track Monday last in the customary brevities, and he loped around the track in the 220 in the easy time of 24:2. At that the way his legs stretched out in front of him was a pretty sight. In a day or two those legs will be loosened up, and won’t be visible when he pumps them up and down.
Track prospects have increased one thousand per cent plus in the last day or two.
PHI MU WILL GIVE BENEFIT PARTY SOON
Phi Mu sorority plans to put an ambulance equipped with a doctor and a nurse in the State of Georgia to give aid, treatments and help the poor in general, as well as extending advice to mothers. To promote this plan the Sorority Alumni Association of Los Angeles will give a benefit dance on March 17th at the Ebell Club house on South Figueroa. Tickets may be obtained from Mrs. Phillips Murray, 1018 Arapahoe street, for one dollar.
Those in charge are: Misses Neal Marvin. Jeanette Nelson, Jessie Taber, Lois Burton and Mesdames Walter Hall and Phillips Murray.
