TROJAN GIVES GREETING
Trojan wishes U. S. C. students a happy New Year and a merry Christmas, and trusts that everyone will be on hand to push Henderson's pets to victory on January 1.
Vol. XIV
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all the Tro- j jan students is the wish of the Trojan.
That is a trite old saying, but it carries a world of meaning and good will that has been developed for ages, the superb character of Christ and the reverence with which Christian people look toward Him benig the chief reason for e unselfish attitude expressed by the ss of people during the Christmas days.

Students Are Too Confident DELEGATES^ Nittany Pictures and Dope
Is Coach Henderson’s Claim
k	By BILL RICE
“I figure the Penn State game will be fully as hard as the Cali fornia game,’’ thus spake Elmer Henderson, coach of the Trojan football team, which is to take on Hugo Bezdek's Penn State Nittany Lions at Pasadena on New Year's Day in the year’s big gridiron classic.
According to Henderson’s figuring, Bezdek’s charges will be fully thirty-live per cent stronger when they take the field against the Trojans New Year’s Day than they were at any time during their regular playing season. The Nittany Lion mentor was forced to put a green squad into the field at the start of the football year. This outfit showed great potential power, and improved steadily throughout the season. With the experience gained in seven hard games and
“CHEERFUL ELMER'* is now the “Gloomy Gus” of old, but he has a right to be, for fans and students. Los angeles and U. S. C. seem to expect the Trojans to win the game easily.
Everyone remembers what happened to the California team last year, for the same atmosphere prevailed, and the W. &. J. went back home with a moral victory, although the score was only a tie. The Bears had a better chance to win that game than have the Trojans the coming one, yet the over-confidence still persists.

Dear Folks:	a
Ma. if you see my picture at the Com Theatre at home in a big super movie, you can be proud. For I have appeared in the movies. I went to work Monday morning skipping my classes to make money. They gave me $7 bucks for the work. They got a good picture of me. 1 sat at a desk with my back io the camera all the lime, acting like l was a newspaper man. Then they took us out to the studio and dressed me up like a Trojan soldier of days gone by. It looked more like a Highland fling suit per account of the bare legs. I wasn’t going lo catch cold so I wore my red bannels under the armour. They got mad and told me this wasn't no comedy. I never seen the Trojans at school running around in stuff like Ihat. 1 told them I .would a lot rather sing than act with such stuff. The make up man said he didn't want the people to think the picture was a Sack Mention burlesque so he put whiskers on me like a bolshevik! what had quarrelled with his barber. So we took the picture and if you see a picture of a Trojan soldier with whiskers you'll know that's tne. Famous, eh Ma?
DOG GONE RELATIVES Pog gone. ma. My relatives never appreciate anything. You know I crated up those cats 1 had and sent them to my relatives, one being to each. This week I got presents from them. Aunt Sary sent me a pair of ice skates, cousin (Taudie gave me some ear muffs. Uncle Si sent me some “skat” soap. Aunt Sadie sent me a subscription to the “Onliwon” paper and Cousin Kate sent me a speedome ter and 1 aint got 110 car. I wished someone had sent me a dog chain for the dog I got on my hunt. 1 wish I could name that dog. I got another present. It was some pretty decorated arm bands from Cousin Bill. I guess I will give them to Hittie.
Question Is Raised as to How Climate Will Affect Lions
Penn Stale's Lions of Nittany, after a hectic period of plowing through Pennsylvania's snowdrifts, in training for ilie New Year’s Day classic, will heave off the transcontinental limited, in Pasadena Sunday morning, growl a bit. lustily, step off the cars with snapping gleams in their eves, draw in one deep breath each, and then turn around a bit puzzled, each to each. The chances are that they will be a hit puzzled. Atmosphere; that's the reason. What will be the great difference in the respective humidities of the Southern Coast and the interior of darkest Penn.; how will it affect the Lions?
For Hugo Bezdek has sad to contend with regular he-man weather, what with snow plows being employed to clear the playing surface, and the wintry blasts blowing through Santa Claus’ whiskers, and over the East. And it is just because of this that Bezdek disdained advice to wait longer before coming West, and decided him to come out with his charges a week or so before the game. He wanted to get acclimated, and in weather-trim for January 1st.
The Lions, twenty-two strong, will therefore celebrate Xmas Day 011 the field of battle in scrimmage, in keen anticipation of gifts—to come or not to come.

“PROFESSIONAL DRAMA”
Lance and Lute’s offering last year, “The Great Galeoto,” will always stand out as a real triumph in the dramatic annals of F. S. (’.. in spite of the fact that it was produced under the greatest of stage limitatoins. This year they will be aided by an in creased supply of stage equipment, and 011 that score will greatly improve on their previous production.
DRAMA VS. HUMOR “The Great Divide,” while “heavy” drama, has several diverting dashes of humor and is sure to be entertaining. Its message is strong and worth while and leaves its audience with “something to think about.”
Says Dr. Gaw: “The ‘Great Divide' is the greatest American drama ever written. 1 am not sure that a really great American drama has ever been

When tho ferocious Nittany Lions stretch out their deadly’ paws in defiance to the lustrous lances and shields of the mighty Trojan eleven, on New Year’s Day. forty five thousand mad football fans will have the opportuity of witessig one of the best gridiron classics that has ever been played in the West, and at the same time see and hear the greatest rooting section in the Fnited States in action, according to Lindley Bothwell, the yell king. TWELVE HUNDRED ROOTERS Arrangements are being made to seat over 1200 rooters in the F. S. C. rooting section. “This will mean." said the yell king, “that U. S. C. wil! have the biggest rooting section in its history.	•
"No one will get a seat in the rooters’ section unless they have a rooter’s cap. When a student buys a ticket to the rooters’ section it is a "promissory note” that he will have or buy a root er's cap. In order to put over these stunts it will be necessary for the people in the rooting section to remain absolutely quiet and pay attention to what is said. This is the golden opportunity for the students of V. S. C. fo show the public that they are di rectly back of the university and the earn. This will win the public’s confidence for 1*. S. C.

Merry Christmas
Knowing on which side its bread is ! buttered, the “Trojan” wishes its advertisers and readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. It goes without saying that the “Trojan'' read-j ily accepts the return good wishes of i the aforesaid student body and adver-: tisers. especially, if the greetings are accompanied by a long term contract.
1 Bur in all sincerity, the "Trojan” does j extend hearty greetings, not of the Pagan Christmas and Santa Claus of 1 today, but in the true spirit of Christianity.
Forgetting for a moment the solemnity of the occasion, for it is not in the field of the “Trojan” to discuss the religious significance of the greatest day of the year, attention might be called to special features regarding the holiday.
RAISES SCHOLARSHIP
In the first place, if it were not for the Christmas vacation, the scholarship of the university would fall at least 2."* per cent. Fully half of the semester's work is done in Christmas holidays, the other half being done the week before finals. The absence of a substantial spring vacation explains why the university scholarship invariably falls during the second semester.
In the second place, the Christmas vacation gives the “Trojan” staff members an opportunity to secure a bit of publicity. The story on how “prominent students" are going to spend the rest period is a traditional feature of the student body paper. On close ex animation, it will he observed that the list of “prominent students” is recruited largely from the list of names appearing above the editorial on page II'ONTIXI l-:i> ON PACK i>,
