Here is an unusual action picture taken of the U S. C.-ldaho game Saturday. Stivers, sensational quarterback of tile Vandal squad, is about to be thrown by a Trojan player. A portion of the crowd of 50,000, and the U. S. C. rooting section is glimpsed in the background.

auguratine; tli*- First Annual Homecoming ot the Alumni ol I . S. C.
According to reports of Kennedy C —
Ellsworth, general chairman of the entire affair, plans are swiftly moving toward completion for this big event.
The dinner will be given in the Armory at Exposition Park and is being given in honor of the Alumni of the University and the Varsity football team which will meet Syracuse in the Coliseum the following afternoon.
The women will give a similar dinner in the President’s parlors at the same time for the Alumnae.
The men’s banquet will be featured with music. It has been planned to have the Men’s Glee Club on hand for the occasion as well as an orchestra.
There will be one short and interesting talk given by a prominent member of the Alumni. The outstanding part of the program will be the dinner itself. A turkey feed will be served, which of course, includes cranberry Bauce and all the ‘trimmings.” (It is interesting to remember there are many kinds of “trimmings.”) This will all be cooked under the supervision of the chef who is at present cooking for the Government officers now training at the Armory and who enjoys a notable reputation as a culinary artist.
Chairman Ellsworth commenting on the chef’s work ,says, “This man’s cooking is the ne plus ultra of all j bership drive, cooking. It can't be beat! Those who j attend the men’s football dinner will : not be disappointed on the eating j score.”
Disappointed in their first drive for membership among t'he new Enginoers at U. S. C. this year ,the local A. A. E. has decided to open its campaign for] members with renewed vigor. The first drive saw only about 50 percent of the new men wearing the engineers’ monad and in order to maintain their past three years’ record of 100 percent membership, the drive will open again next week.
‘ The engineering professors and the student A. A. E. officers are behind this drive to the last man," says A. B. Collins, the engineering president, “and that is not all, the directors of t’he national A. A. E. are pushing us to see us repeat our past performances.”
With such backing, those in charge see no reason why the second attempt should not see every man in engineering an active A. A. E. member. Every man is going to be approached during the drive, and no one is expected to fail the engineers in their final mem-

FRESHMEN PLAN FOR DUES DRIVE
December 1-15 is the date that has been set for the collection of Freshmen dues for the semester. The amount as fixed by the executive committee of the Freshman class is to be fifty cents each semester, making a total sum of one dollar for the year. Treasurer Coans is quoted as saying, “This is a nominal sum for class dues, and because of that, it is hoped that every Freshman will feel it as a part of his duty to pay his fifty cents as soon as possible.”
Speakers for this week in Chapel are L)r. Hugh K. Walker, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Los Angeles, who spoke on Tuesday, and Dr. Dillon Bronson, who will address the upper division students today.
Dr. Walker will give an address similar to the one he delivered in Chapel last Wednesday, concerning the importance of the' younger generation to the nation's future. Dr. Bronson, although not slated for any special topic, may draw upon his travels, as he is a “three-times-around-the-world” man.
The Glee Clubs, under the direction
of Horatio Cogswell, are also on the
program.	|	--------

Philharmonic Auditorium a Pos sibility for Later Presentation Says McCann
‘There is a strong possibility that besides being presented two nights at Bovard Auditorium, the “Campus Scandals’’ will be given at the Philharmonic Auditorium,” Hank McCann, director of U. S. C.’s third annual Extravaganza .announced yesterday.
“Cal” Ross, assistant director to Reginald Barker, famous motion picture director of Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studio, reviewed a rehearsal of the cast and was enthusiastic in his praise of the story and the character interpretations of the cast.
“Both are high above the usual college standard,” he said. “The cast is one of the best I have ever seen assembled for a college production. 1 have read the plot and it seems to me to be one that should give remarkable opportunity for clever interpretation— an opportunity that the members of the cast seem to be making the most of.”
Mr. Ross also commented very
U. S. C. IS FAVORED IN REPORT
Although there are dozens of rumors and counter rumors going around concerning the final decision of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Committee as to what team will meet Notre Dame in the Rose Bowl New Year’s Day, it was learned from an authentic source late yesterday afternoon that U. S. C. was favored over Stanford.
Les Henry, chairman of the Rose Committee, had disappeared last evening and it was impossible to get a statement. It is thought, howrever, that a definite report will be made some time today.
SELLOUT EXPECTED FOR SOPH DANCE
Patrons for the Senior Homecoming Dance to be held December 6, after the Syracuse game, have been chosen and plans are being rapidly completed in order that the dance, the only campus informal of the semester may be a success,” announced Dorothy Crowley, publicity chairman, yesterday.
Patrons include Dr. and Mrs. Oliver J. Marston, Mr .and Mrs. H. J. Stonier, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Henderson, Professor and Mrs. William Ralph La Porte, Dean and Mrs. Karl T. Waugh, and “Chick” Meehan, coach of the Syracuse Eleven.
The committee persists in keeping secret the decoration scheme. All that can be learned is that the scheme will be in harmony with the idea of football, victory, homecoming of old grads, and informality.
The music will be furnished by Bud King’s orchestra—the best syncopation on the campus, say the jazz fans.

FIFTY THOUSAND WATCH U.S.C. DOWN GREAT IDAHO ELEVEN
Two Place Kicks and Touchdown From Pass Account for 13-0 Score Of Last Conference Game on Trojans'
Schedule
By FRED JENKINS
Two place kicks from the stalwart toe of Captain John Hawkins and a clever pass from Eddie Green to Hayden Phythian accounted for the final 13 to 0 score in favor of the I'. S. C. football team over Idaho Saturday. Close to fifty thousand fans saw the game which was one of the keenest struggles of the years, as evidenced by the great crowds cheering.
The Vandals had a wonderful line when put to the test. Three times the Trojans worked the ball down to the shadows of the Idaho posts only to have the visitors’s line hold and throw back the desperate thrusts of the Cardinal
■q and Gold backs.
Not one bit inferior was the forewall of the Trojans. They were not put to tests in the same way that the Vandals were but their superior fight in the last three quarters of the contest left the Idaho backs wondering just what Henderson had fed his men before the game and between the halves.
Idaho came south with the reputation of having one of the very best passing attacks in the country. They did show some remarkable overhead work but the trouble lay in the fact that Henderson had his men so well versed in the defense of such attacks that the Vandals were only able to complete seven out of a possible forty-one passes. To add irony to Coach Mathews and his gallant crew’s lot the one touchdown of the Trojans was scored by a brilliant pass and another might have been completed had not John Riddle stumbled when receiving the pass over the Idaho’s last line. Eddie Green was on the passing end of these plays and his showing Saturday proves to U. S. C. and the South that here is a valuable man to have hanging around.
Captain Johnny Hawkins was a big star for the Trojans. He played the entire game and he played it well. His two place kicks were perfectly done. His running back of punts was equal to any seen this season and his 41 yard return in the thrd period brought the ball to a position to score. The Vandals line figured otherwise, however.
As stated before, the Trojan line played remarkable football. Every man in the forewall was up and going all the time and all deserve more than passing notice.
STIVERS WELL GUARDED Stivers. Reget and Hausen, the lat-
bought less than five hundred.
“As thiL is one of our big games. an<i possibly our last game of the season, every seat should be taken,” according to those in charge of the sale. “The sale of tickets, except in the men’s rootine section, has been very satisfactory, and a capacity crowd is expected. The fine showing of the Trojans against Idaho has created a big demand for tickets.”
The Freshman men are expected to conduct the pajamarino, get w’ood for the fire, and turn out a hundred percent, garbed in pajamas, for the big rally on the eve of the game.

“Your story,” he told the cast, “is one that is concerned essentially with college life, one that pokes fun at the various members and phases of the institution, without offending any one. It is remarkably well done and certainly is of a calibre sufficient to warrant its presentation in the Philharmonic Auditorium."
As the date for the presentation of the musical comedy approaches, Hank McCann and his staff, Grant La Mont • and his chorus, and Gene Johnston 1 and his orchestra, are all working overtime to assure the school of the best musical comedy ever offered U. S. C. students.
“People around the campus had bet-I ter watch their step. It’s easy to I change a few lines to a musical comedy so as to include new names in the ‘gags,’ ” Hank said yesterday.
