j Previous to taking over the Trinity College job, Coach Jones handled the , football destinies- of the University of Iowa, and it was while Jones was at Iowa that the Hawkeves realized their strength and from then on have been producing some of the most dangerous gridiron aggregations in the country.	.
Howard Jones went to Iowa in 1916, when the school was small, and was competing with some of the minor colleges. In his first few seasons Jones molded together some good squads, and a few years later they had to drop out of the small college class and take | on some of the larger Universities for real football competition.

This machine worked to perfection with the result that they were the only team to I defeat Knute Rockne’s, 1921 Notre Dame squad. This they did by a 10 j to 7 count. Coach Jones uncorked a winning crew and went through the next season undefeated, taking his team to New Haven where it earned j a 7 to 0 win over big brother Tad’s I Yale eleven. Iowa continued winning ; until Red Grange came out of Illinois j to step a string of twenty-four con- , secutive victories, beating Iowa 9 to i 6.

Football prospects lor next season took a new turn in Southern California with the announcement that Howard Jones of Trinity College and formerly of the University of Iowa, will take the reigns of the Trojan horse. Coach Jones comes to Southern California with a big gridiron record in his twelve years of coaching. It is upon Jones and the wealth of material, which will be on hand next season, that Southern California pins its hopes on*a gridiron championship.	C-
Coach Jones is a brother of the fa
months, and it is expected that some good arguments are being worked out. S. C. will take the negative of the question.
The next debate is scheduled with Redlands University, at Redlands. The date has been postponed and is not definitely known, but probably will be Friday, February 13. Last year the Southern California team defeated Redlands, but was beaten by Southern Branch.
The Southern California Conference is composed of S. C., U. C. S. B, Pomona, Caltech, Redlands, Whittier, and Occidental.

Peace Reigns On Campus
After Examination Days

The melancholy days have come, the saddest of the year.
Tempus fugit.
Bring on your lions!
For spring has come to the dear old campus. So has the Freshman Plague, a swarm of bright and well-varnished creatures like locusts. But more particularly has arrived a Great Peace—the peace of the condemned— the peace of the clerk who has shot his boss and then walked into a police ! station—the peace which, under the cirnmstances passeth all understanding. For finals are over and grades are in and if the end of the world has been detained a little it will soon arrive. herefore, and paradoxically, the poor, weather-worn old hulks who only a short time before were Freshmen and conceivably well-varnished them-have settled back with grim -Waiting.

SKEELE PLAYS PRELUDE
Baccalaureate exercises were held Sunday afternoon at four o’clock in Bovard Auditorium, Reverend Lincoln A. Ferris preaching the sermon. Both faculty and graduates attended in academic attire. Prelude and Postlude were played by Dean Skeele.
This plan of having Mid-Winter Commencements at LT. S. C. is the result of a desire that the Board of Trustees has long had. This year, for the first time, the number of students completing their university work at mid-years has been sufficent to make j the holiday of cises practical, likely that the number of February graduates w’ill not decrease with the passing years, Dean W’augh believes that Mid-Winter cymmencements will become an annual affair.
