BANDMEN PASS HATS
Bishop Stevens is Main Speaker—New Trojan Statue Appears
“I’m glad to be back,” was President von KleinSmid’s greeting to the student body in Chapel Tuesday immediately upon his arrival from the East. His home-coming at the close of a varied program featuring an address by Bishop Stevens ,was rather unexpected but a real treat to all present.
In stating that his entire trip in the East had been one of spiritual company with the University, Dr. von KieinSmid showed that the institution to be reckoned with in coming dayg is U. S. C. “There are two supreme thoughts associated with this institution which will enable the ac* complishment of great things," said the President, “the comradery of the community and our great interest .n each other.”
DEFEAT AN ASSET Touching upon the work of the football team he classed the recent defeat as an asset to the future encounters. bringing out the necessity of knowing how the other teams are going to feel after they meet the Trojans in the coming weeks. “We still have great deeds to accomplish this year; to erect a building or two, increase our standard of scholarship as never before, and to lick California.
Never before have I been more confi dent of this than I am at this time.
On to the 'curtain raiser’ at Stanford next Saturday.”
Preceding Bishop Stevens’ address Herrjr Silke introduced the Trojan band-master. Hal Roberts, to the student body and made a plea for everyone to dig deep and send a large band to Stanford. “I’m glad to meet you, I want to know you better and hope to see you again,” said Mr. Roberts as he received much applause from the assembly. Bandsmen then passed their caps and received generous donations with an “On to Stanford” spirit.
STONIER RECEIVES GIFT In behalf of the President, H. J.
Stonier, his executive secretary received the first of the bronze Trojan statues to appear on the campus, as a gift from the Friendly Bunch, a women's organization. These statues are now on sale at the students store and are very characteristic o* the true Trojan spirit. In receiving ihe gi*t Mr. Stonier spoke of the day in the near future when he expected io see such a life size Trojan in a suitable location where all student rentes could be held.
A solo by Howard Coy, president of the Glee Club, was also an important number on the program.
BISHOP SPEAKS Bishop Stevens on the Protestant Episcopal Church of Los Angeles is nor a stranger to the U. S. C., having made many addresses in the parif. and one at a previous assembly this yea;.
Citing many anticdotes from famous men. he gave a most interesting lecture. “That there is a tendency to be discouraged toward material things in one's college career and that we give up our tasks too easily,” was the chief point of his address. “As we live in the company of fine things we learn to understand and grow intellectually. However, we do not realize the value of sticking to the small tasks of life until the real results come.”

Pictures of Rally in Southern Pacific Station and of University Dances Used
Plans for “El Rodeo,” the Trojan year book, are rapidly materializing according to the statement made by R. Kenneth Crist, editor.
The annual is beginning to take on a a tangible form, the cover design being recently completed by Clair Sharp-less, Art Editor. While a definite statement has not been made concerning it, it is to have a gold and Editor black background-leather covers are to be one of the unique features of this year.
Pleas have been made by the following people, for material to be used: C. Thurston Groth, editor of pen and ink sketches; Don Gillum, snap shot editor; and Barton Witty joke editor. Anyone desiring to contribute, please see the respective persons at El Rodeo office.

Arrangements have also been made for photographs to be taken of the dances on the evenings of November 3rd and November 10th. These features are to be given full page illustrations.
‘‘The annual this year is to be really representative of the students of tbe University. With the cooperation of the entire staff and students I feel positive that something really worth while can be accomplished,” stated Crist.

Examinations will be in order as usual Friday, according to latest reports. However some of the professors have offered to repeat their quiz Monda> afternoon for the benefit of the students who go to the Stanford game, and it is considered unlikely that any students will forego the joys of the journey for these lesser academic pleasures.
Songs and Yells Coming In; Contest to Close Oct. 31
Southern California's $100 yell and song contest closes Oct. 31, so that Mr. Hugo Kirchoffer may spring some of the best pep raisers on the student body in chapel Nov. 1st in preparation for the California game.
It seems that the scribes of U. S. C. have suddenly become inspired with pep and spirit, for during the last week, fifteen songs and fourteen yells have poured in. It is understood that some geniuses are still perpetrating roof raisers to come in when perfected.
Allen T. Archer, prominent Alum-o nus of U. S. C. in order to liven up Trojan pep noise, made an offer of $100 each for the best song and the best yell submitted by a student. [The prize winners will replace some of the old Trojan out of date yells and songs.
It has been rumored tnat U. S. C. is weak in snappy, high powered yells and songs. “We want to get away from the old High School type of yells,” said Hal Williamson, chairman of the committee of judges in the contest.
Some of the songs submitted are wonderful, and all show flashes of ability. The committee, composed ->f Hal Williamson, Hugo Kirchoffer, and a representative from the College of Music, are well satisfied with the music and lyrics that have come in response to the call. The yells however, fall short, lacking punch, originality, and quality. Most of them razz two northern teams in particu lar, when they should apply in all games and contests. According to the committee, loyal Trojan scribes are urged to ponder and grind out rip roaring yells for Alma Mater.
More songs are also needed, and $100 awaits the winner.

Whether California defeats U. S. C. or not on Nov. 10, several hundred couples will endeavor to, either dismiss all gloom or celebrate a victory as the case may be, on the evening of the same day at the Biltmore Hotel, when the Trojan Knights will stags their first ball of the season at that time.
Several members of the Knighted Band have been cooperating with members of the Amazons for the past week in an effort to arrange the details of the huge affair. A novel souvenir symbolic of the football season which will be used as a program, has been chosen by the committee in charge. The hall has also been secured and the tickets will be on sale the fiist part of next week.
Players of both varsity teams participating Nov. 10 will be honored guests at the affair. It is likely that the University of California Men’s Glee Club, who will be in Los Angeles at that time, will also be present to sing a few numbers for the entertainment of those present.
The ball is to be an all-University function as all the campus organizations have already guaranteed their support by keeping this date open. A consignment of tickets is to be sent over to S. B. U. C. It is the desire of those in charge to make it a U. S. C.-California Ball, thus bringing together all visiting students and alumni of the northern institution as well as alumni and students of the local institution.
Joseph Lhevinne, eminent pianisT, has been engaged by the Women’s Club to appear in the second number of the Artists’ Course, the date Lor which has been announced as November 30.
Mr. Lhevinne who has been termed the "Titan of Technic and Tone," has established himself in the realm of pianistic art, and is today recognizer’ as one of its greatest masters.
Having received personal commendation and encouragement from the great Rubenstein, who heard him when fourteen years of age, play the Beethoven “Emperor” concerts at a students concert, Josef Lhevinne entered the Moscow Conservatory.
Through diligent stduy and practice here he won the conservatory gold medal and later the RubensteiU prize at Berlin.
He came to America in 1907 for the first time, immediately creating a sensation, and gaining a popularity which has continued to grow throughout our country.
Mr. Lehvinne has been the inspiration for such a statement as this “He stands alone, a power in the music world.”
The Women’s Club feels especially fortunate and pleased to have secured Mr. Lhevinne for their second program, as his answer to their invitation to come, depended upon the success of the sale of the season tickets.
By CARL FARMAN With more than twenty-five hundred rooters thronging the big Southern Pacific Station to greet them last Tuesday, the Trojan Varsity received the greatest reception ever accorded a southern football team. Five hundred machines carried a frenzied mob of faculty members and students down to greet the men who had represented the Cardinal and Gold so well on the northern field. The team lost—and the mighty reception they got showed how the Trojan acts in time of defeat.

The banquet closed soon after the curfew hour (9 o’clock, Frosh, 9 o’clock) and the consensus of opinion favored the establishment of a similar blowout every week.
Today's Chapel will be featured as an “On to Stanford” rally. It will be the final burst of pep that is needed to send a victorious team to the Northern Bay District. There will be three main features to the assembly. The main feature will be the premier presentation of the Greater University Orchestra. It is a new institution composed of twelve pieces and promises some real entertainment. Another feature of the program will be the ever welcome pep of Hugo Kirchoffer. He will again attempt to “raise the dead.” And last, but not least, there will be “Hank”, the notable howl producer. In all, the program promises to be one of extreme pep and should have a good effect on those expecting to go to to Stanford.
FEW STUNTS FOR STANFORD GAME
Most Energy Will be Spent on Yells and Songs next Saturday
Although there will be some bleacher stunts worked at the Stanford game, most of the effort will be made ot yells and songs. Because of the uncertainty as to the number of Trojans who will make the trip it is almost impossible to plan on spilling with the cards, as this has to be worked out with minute precision. However, “Hank” McCann assures that the big T will be formed with rooters hats and that he will take the opportunity of practicing the changing of colors. He will also show the men something of the art of waving the hats in time with the band.
Nothing was said at the meeting of the Executive Committee Monday night as to the number of rooters planning to make the trip and Hank feels that it is better not to use the cards at all than to work the stunts up hurriedly and have them go off unevenly.
Students have always been allowed to attend the All-University dances, whether or not they own student body books. It Is the plan of the Executive Committee to adopt some system whereby this will be changed in the future, and only holders of the books or of special tickets will be entitled to attend these functions. The resolution will be put into operation at the first of next semester.
This is oniy one of a number cf plans discussed at the meeting ot
the Executive Committee Tusday night. A petition will be given to the faculty committee asking that only two stanzas of Alma Mater be sung in chapel.
It was also moved that measures be taken preventing tardy students from, rushing down the aisle after tho exercises have been begun. This detracts from the respect that should be paid to college songs.
Kenneth Campbell and Helon Morton Hall were appointed student representatives on the controlling board of the Associated Student Bookstore.
Kenneth Stonier, business manager of the Trojan, made a report on the financial condition of the various publications. The Trojan up to this time has paid for itself and some profit has been realized from the sale of the Pigskin Review and freshman Bi* bie.
The Freshman Bible has again been placed on sale and every Frosh who has not had an opportunity to get one may do so at the student bookstore.

Old timers were united ;n their statement that the wild demonstration far exceeded any excitement ever staged in honor of the Trojan varsity. Students who had spent their first year or two in eastern and midwest Universities averred that it was the greatest they had ever seen, that victorious eastern elevens received no such greeting as that which burst upon Coach Henderson and his Trojan eleven yesterday.
“For four years,” said the campus sentiment, “Henderson and his men have done everything for U. S. C. They have won almost every game, they have made the Trojans feared and respected everywhere in football circles, they have never given the students a chance to do for them half of what they have done for the students.

SPEECH RECITAL
The School of Speech presents Lucile Will in a recital at 9 o’clock Friday morning, October 26, in Athena hall, third floor O. C. She will give a lecture recital on “Ballads and i Songs of the Cowboy.’’
“Every Trojan who can possibly make the trip .must be at Palo Alto for the game next Saturday afternoon,’* said Harry Silke.
The excursion on the Yale has been officially called off so the Trojan Special will take care of all those who wish to be transported north. Those on the Special are due for a wonderful time as the band will be on the train and will do their best to keep everyone awake during the night. There will be a rally and parade at Santa Barbara where the train will stop over for an hour. The next stop will be at the Big Trees at 8 o'clock Saturday morning and the train pulls into Palo Alto at 10:30 a. m.
The Special leaves Los Angeles at 7 p. m. tomorrow night and arrives at Palo Alto at 10:30 a. m. Saturday
morning. The fare is $22.75 round 'trip, lower berth is $4.50 and the ufpper is $3.60. The train will also have a chair car for anyone who does not plan to sleep durng the night.
The team will return to Los Angeles on the Special train and for that reason the train will be held over until 7:30 Saturday night.
“On to Stanford” is the slogan and the Southern California rooters are planning a great invasion of the Cardinal campus. The days of the caravan will be reviewed when the Trojans start on their way in machines and the natives along the way will get a chance to view the spirit of some j of the Trojans.

flooded the campus, conveying the same information and concluding in big type with the words: “Bum a Ride.”
BEGINS AT NINE
At about nine o’clock the parade began. Hundreds of autos decorated in cardinal and gold carried most of the Liberal Arts student body down Central Avenue to the station. Parking the machines three and four deep for bocks around, the mob crowded into the station.
Before the arrival of the team, as many as could, packed the smaller waiting room where the passengers come out upon leaving the trains. Hundreds stood outside. Led by Hank McCann and his assistants the mob cheered and cheered and cheered before the Varsity came. Every available inch of room was utilized Students climbed up on the pillars, co-eds scrambled up on tcrp of the radiators. Everyone was waiting for the team, and as they waited they cheered and sang.
Meantime ,out on the tracks, the
