There are a number of expert wield ers of thf* clubs in U. S. C., some of whom are capable of turning in scores under 80 for the eighteen holes. A few can play almost par golf, while the great majority of tbe fans think they are doing well if they make less than a score of 100.
Trojans should cop the golf tournament cup. Everyone who likes the game has an opportunity to play in the tryouts.

FRED KELLY, he of hurdler fame, has hurdler another obstacle.
Last Wednesday he overcame the objections of Francis Maria McDonald and secured a wedding license at Riverside, California.
Less than a month ago, Fred “came back” in hurdling fame and broke a world record. To prove that he has come back to stay he enlarged his activities and is now paying the expenses of two through this world of problems and joys.
The whole Trojan student body wishes Fred the best of success in his new endeavor.
DEAN CROMWELL IS all pepped up over the Trojan chances in the Chicago meet in June.
Charles Paddock is the big question mark in all the figuring, for if he enters the U. S. C. track squad is almost sure of getting 10 extra digits, Otto Anderson, Yale Martz and Norman Anderson are sure of berths on the Chicago Special. Several other stars on Cromwell’s list of sprinters are working hard with the object of winning a chance to appear before the country's cream of spike artists.
Harry Kennedy, Play Manager,
Warns Students to Buy Tickets Immediately
“It’s great! You’re doing wonderfully well.”
Such were the words of Miss Ina Claire, the original “Polly” of David Relasco’s famous New York production, “Polly With a Past," as she revived a rehearsal of the junior cast, which is to present the play Thursday and Friday.
The play itself was written expressly for Mi^s Claire, and her praise, coming from behind the footlights of the Mason Theater, where a portion of the production wras presented Monday for her benefit, is a recommendation that any amateur cast would consider priceless.
“Only two more days left. Better get your tickets now and avokl the rush." was the shrewd, yet helpful, advice given studes yesterday by Harry Kennedy, play manager. “With such “heavies" in the cast at Ruth Seavers.
Ted Hansen and Warner Grassell, the
production is going to prove a verit- come aud enthusiasm:

Another prominent Trojan joined the batallion of the newly wedded last week, when Fred Keliy, former world’* hurdle champion, surprised most cf his friends Wednesday when he was married to Frances Marie McDonald in Riverside, Riverside County. The ceremony, which was a quiet one, was performed by Reverend Gillies, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal *

A special feature of the trip was an exhibition drill and parade through the San Diego streets Wednesday night. Consisting of thc formation of the Greek cross, a serpentine, four gear wheels turning on one another, and the big T, the drfll won the enthusiastic approval of San Diego spectators, according to Manager H.

Thc disabled boys at Sawtelle are going to receive a little entertainment tonight in the form of a program put on by the Manual Arts Alumni Association. The most prominent feature of the bill will be a string of four bouts, in which U.S.C. boys will furnish a major part of the entertainment.
Thc first bout will be between Bill Fox and “Tork" Torkelson at 135 lbs. Roth men are very clever boxers and will put up a good scrap for the boys.
The comedy of the bouts will be a kick, scratch and bite match between Jay Hermann and Dick Emmons, at 155 lbs. A mixed match between a wrestler and boxer always proves interesting. •
The semi-windup will be a real battle. "Kentucky" Phythian. the pride of U.S.C., will battle Hess of Southern Branch in an exhibition match. They will fight at 170 lbs. Although only an exhibition match, there will be no love taps exchanged.
The feature of the bouts will be the wind-up. Wild cat Willie O'Brien and Jimmie Brenton, at 135 lbs., are expected to furnish a few thrills in the boxing line. They are both professional men. and are the best on the coast in their class. They deserve a lot of credit in their efforts to entertain the boys, as there are very few men in the professional line that are willing to do anything for the disabled boys.

SUNDAY MORNING CLASS SOON ENDS
Dr. Vandergriff announces that there are only four more meetings of President Von KleinSmid’s Sunday morning class. Dr. Hedley. who has only recently severed his connection with this University, will be present. He is now superintendent of the Chinese work on the western coast.
The subject matter for the meetings has been on the making of a creed, and more recently on Fundamentalism.
On Sunday last the president discussed the Bible standpoint on history and symbolism. As this is the only opportunity for the students to come in personal class contact with President Von KleinSmid's, it is hoped by those in charge that more will take advantage of it.

This meet is held to determine the championship in each weight among the students of U.S.C. Coming as it does, with the final meet with L.A.A.C., a short time away, representatives for this meet will be determined. Silver cups will have the winners’ names engraved upon the cup. and a suitable permanent award will be presented to the individual winner.
Last year twenty-two men took part in a similar meet. Captain Varney and Manager Graves have been working hard to enlist the interest of all who are equipped for the sport of wrestling.
