The editorial department will be strong, with much opinion by outside writers, including men from the professional colleges.
Douglas McPhee, student body president of the Redlands University, addressed the assembly gathered in the chapel yesterday in the second of a series of speeches designed to foster intercollegiate spirit.
McPhee was introduced by A. S. B. President McGinnis as Merle's high school chum and friend of long standing. Merle addressed the Redlands assembly Monday morning.
“There is no reason why the University of Southern California and the University of Redlands should not be the closest friends.
Almost merging into this address was the appeal from a representaitve of the Red Cross, who made an appeal for membership.
“I come to you in a little different appeal,” said the speaker. “My plea is made in the name of brotherly love. We need your sympathetic understanding and aid. Won’t you help us to put the 1921 soldier back on his feet?”
BISHOP STEVENS SPEAKS
Bishop Stevens of the Episcopalian Church, was then introduced by Dr. Flewelling.
“In the physical realm,” said the Bishop, “we find that during emergency we have strength which we never knew existed.
“The same is true in the moral realm. Have you ever felt that somehow you couldn’t resist a certain temptation should it come to you, and somehow when it came you were able, by God’s grace, to resise?
“Great works are performed only by those who venture out. Consider Moses and other Old Testament char acters who launched out into great tasks and accomplished their purposes.
“Perhaps you say, ‘I have no talents.’ Even though you feel that you have limited ability, give what you have.
“My appeal to you students is to enter your chosen fields of endeavor determined to use whatever talents you have in constructive service.”

“Go West, young man, go West!” seems to be the dominating note in the ear of every football team east of the Rockies which lias passed through the season with a clean slate, or one just slightly smudged.
Besides the annual classic at Pasadena, games will be played between eastern and western teams at San Diego. Seattle, and possibly at the new Stanford stadium at Palo Alto. Washington University has arranged a game with the powerful Penn State aggregation for December 3, thereby eliminating the easterners as contenders in the Pasadena bowl. San Diego has made arrangements with the sensational Centre College team, conquerors of Harvard, who in turn subdued Yale, to meet some outstanding eleven fro mthe coast. If California does not see fit to accept the terms offered by the Tournament of Roses committee she intends to stage a little intersectional football combat all their own in the Card’s new arena, and Yale will probably come west to see that the thing is well done.
Because of the arrangements already made writh coast teams by several of the possibilities, the field for choice by the Pasadena officials is narrowed down to Cornell, Iowa, and Yale. If California refuses the invitation, possibly the bid will be withheld until after the S. C.-Washington State game, on December 3. The latter gave the Golden Bear a tough scrap, losing only by two touchdowns.
If the Cardinal and Gold eleven succeed in the struggles with the Oregon Aggies next Saturday, and the W. S. C. affair, San Diego will probably ask the Trojans to meet the Centre team. If the bid is refused by Coach Henderson and his men, supposing that the teams are beaten and it is received,
Allow your gaze, for the moment, to scan the green of Tournament Park, in Pasadena. Unlimited possibilities are there. Fate may be, for it often has been, made therein. There, at the feet of the mountains, strong men have often battled for fame and victory.
The East and the West, the North and the South, have played great football games, there, and it is a matter of history that the West and the South have won their share of victories.
Next! The call brings together two of the strongest teams in Western America, for Saturday afternoon Tournament Park will become the scene of the first local inter-state gridiron classic of the 1921 season.
U. S. C. meets the Oregon Agricultural College.
Trojan meets Beaver. The cold wind shivers through the trees in the great Northwest, and at Corvallis the Oregon winter may sweep down in a fury of snow. The very fury of this vast, outdoor clime is embodied in the hearts of these big, raw farmers who this week-end will bear down upon what we take pride in calling “Sunny Southern California.”
ARRIVE TOMORROW
The Aggies arrive tomorrow morning and will put up at the Hotel Vista Del Arroyo in Pasadena. They will practice at Tournament Park tomorrow and Friday. The Trojans will work out on Bovard field this afternoon, tomorrow morning and Friday.
And then, Saturday and the game.
This game is all important to U. S. C. Both teams have met defeat, yet each is representative of the football played in the section is represents. To whip these men from the Great Northwest would be a triumph long to be remembered. California football teams have not lost a game to an Oregon or Washington eleven in two years, and the Trojans have a State as well as a school record to uphold.
The University of Oregon came to Pasadena last year fully expecting to defeat U. S. C. But our great coach,
“Gloomy Gus” Henderson, and the fighting Trojans completely outclassed the visitors. U. S. C. won, 28 to 0, and the Oregon team did not make a single first down from scrimmage throughout the contest.
It was U. S. C.’s greatest victory.
CALIFORNIA VS. OREGON Now, the Oregon Aggies have no great love for the University of Oregon. But the name, Oregon, is there, and the name, Oregon, went down to defeat. California had beaten Oregon. Ye Gods! “Well,” say the Oregon Aggies, “now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.”
They intend to do just that. They mean to wipe out that defeat we handed their friends, the enemy, in Eugene.
What are their chances to turn this trick? Just this: Even. It is entirely impossible to foretell the result of Saturday’s game. We’ll believe that our team will win. Oregon and Northern California, believes the Aggies will win. From what can be gleaned from the comparative records of the two teams they stack up about even.
You cannot dope football, unless you send the Manual Arts lightweights against the Pacific Fleet. One can only expect a certain team to win. But dope it out with any degree of certainty when the squads are at all evenly matched? Never!

DAFFY DILLS CONVERSE
A few’ of the girls sewed, on their bands, some blue camouflages on a pink background with a host of daffy dills standing around talking to each other with their hands in their pockets. But the best color idea of them all was the one which had a border of children’s wall paper on the top writh a life history of Boob McNutt written in a bed of yellow for-get-me-nots on the bottom.
All these ideas showed talent and room for improvement, but when a child mind gets at play something has to bust, and it is generally mama’s wire hairbrush. If it hadn’t been for running out of color combinations the freshmen girls would still be going strong, but when all the paints except black were used up they all threw up their noses and sniffed a high class sniff.
The next thing to do was to find a way to wear the bands that nobody could copy. And right away the patent office was rushed in order that all the patients would get their working models perfected before the Amazons changed their hair pins and make the

Tuesday night is the time wrhen the various literary societies meet in their respective halis. Last night the Aristotelians held an open meeting, which prospective members were invited to attend.
EXTEMPORANEOUS TALKS
In Clionian meeting Pearl Scruggs discussed the etiquette of debating. Impromptu speeches by different members were given. The subjects were assigned three minutes before the speeches were made.
In room 305 of Hoose Hall, the Athena members heard their constitution read. A vocal solo and a reading were also part of the program.
Comitia Literary had a varied program, beginning with “The School in the New Era,” by Willard Schurr. “The History of a Missionary in China at the time of the Boxer Uprising,” by William Kincheloe followed. Har old Mason talked of “Current Magazine Articles,” and Myron Douglas gave an impromptu speech.
All the societies are planning on a series of debates in the very near future.

Dr. Von KleinSmid Commerce Club Speaker
Dr. R. B. Van Kleinsmid, president of the university, and Mr. F. S. McKee, vice-president of the First National bank of this city, have been chosen as the speakers of the evening at the last meeting of the Commercial Club before the holidays, on December 8, in the university cafeteria. The dinner will be served at tables instead of in cafeteria style, as was the case at the last luncheon, and commerce students desiring to attend are required to purchase their tickets before that date. Beginning at 5:30, the meeting will continue until 7:30, giving the speakers ample time for their talks but insuring an early closing. The dinner will be 65 cents.
Dr. KleinSmid’s talk will be rather general in nature. The exact subject has not been announced yet. according to C. C. Scott, president of the Commerce Club. Mr. McKee is to speak on the “Place of the College of Commerce in connection with the Business World.”
A number of representative high school students from the city and suburbs are to be guests of the College of Commerce at the dinner. All commerce students in the university are invited ot be present.
