TROJANS WILL MEET the Bears in basketball next Friday and Sat urday nights. The Bears have always had a good casaba team, and hope to win the Pacific Coast Conference championship this year. Last year the Vandals were selected to go East to represent the coast.
Coach Les Turner has his eyes on the same object. The team lie has been developing the last few weeks bids fair to show the hoys from the North a few things as to how the pill may be dropped through the bread basket for results detrimental to the **C" letter men. Being defeated twice by the L. A. A C. five does not signify a poor team for the Trojans. The Mercury quintet is one of the strongest in the United States, having played together for several years in succession. The close score of 2e to ‘-’2 indicates thc strength which the Trojans have assumed with a few weeks' practice.

Task But Deserves Credit Says Tachet
By AL TACHET
Continuing the policy of presenting irst ( lass dramas, inaugurated a year *.go with “The Great Galeoto.” Lance md Lute honorar> dramatic society •resented William Vaughn Moody’s .day, "The Great Divide." at the Bo-vard Auditorium last Thursday night Though Lance and Lute deserves unreserved praise from tlie student body for its noble effort to present a really •;re.at play, it cannot be truthfully said hat the production in the Bovar.l Auditorium did not leave much to !>■> lesired In spite of Ihe very evident sincerity of the players, the play did not go over. The production failed to develop dramatic interest, and even the most tense moments in Moody’s 'day did not possess the heightened dramatic quality for which “The Great Divide” is distinguished among American dramas. For various reasons, the issue of the conflict was not made clear, and to many the play seemed but a melodrama of inferior order Others were of the opinion that Lance and Lute had attempted a task too big even for unusually capable and ambitious amateurs.
CHARMING RUTH Mildred I. Voorhees was a beautiful and charming Ruth Jordan. Miss Voorhees. playing the role originally created by Margaret Anglin, readily won the sympathy of her audience, but her characterization lacked the strength and maturity necessary to make convincing the mental anguish suffered by Ruth Jordan. Miss Voorhees was excellent in passages in which the more tender sentiments
