COACH HOWARD JONES SPEAKS
"No coach sending a team into such an important game as the Stanford clash tomorrow would make any prediction a9 to the outcome. There is too little difference between the two squads to give any opportunity for any statements that U. S. C. will win. I know that many say we have an edge; I only hope we have, but I feel that the edge is • slight one. I am certain that Coach Glenn Warner is no more certain of his team winning than I am of mrne.
"This much I know: the game will be a battle from the start. There will be no holding back for we are both in there to win this game. It probably means more to us than any other game on the schedule. My boys are ready to give their best and I know they will. I personally am going to give Stanford everything I have.”

RALLY TONIGHT IN BOVARD
The Four Horsemen of Notre Dame of last year and the entire troop of horsemen this year have nothing on Morton Kaer, hailed as the ‘Apollo of Football.” Kaer and his charioteers will follow the "Thundering Herd” on the plains of the Coliseum tomorrow afternoon. The photo shows Kaer the charioteer ready to pass to his “thunderers,” LeFebvre, Cook, Drury and Earle. How many touchdowns do they pack in the chariot?

STUNTS ON PROGRAM
SO. CALIF. SONGS TO BE SUNG EVERY MORNING AT NINE
Rally Committee Plans to Conduct 9 o'clock Sings in Every Class at Southern California.
Singing will soon become a pleasant morning habit among students at Southern California, according to an announcement of the Rally Comm.it-tee; for an innovation in the form of singing by all students in nine o’clock classes before these classes open will be started on the campus Monday.
The plan, as outlined by the Rally Committee, calls for regular class sings every day in all nine o’clock classes before the ringing of the last bell. One student in each nine o’clock class is to be appointed by the committee to take charge of the singing. It is his duty to arrive early and get the class started on Southern California songs. The singing will commence as soon as enough students arrive in the room, and will continue until the last bell rings at nine o’clock; or, if the professor gets in late, the students w'ill go on with their vocal efforts until the instructor’s arrival.
Though these regular morning sings have never been used before at Southern California, they are not entirely new in college life, since they have already been tried out at the University of California and at the Southern (Continued on Page Eight)

OFFICIALS I Referee—Evans.	Umpire—Minor.
Field Judge—Cove.	Head Linesman—Griffith.
iTime—2:15.
’Place—L. A. Coliseum.
Mid beautiful flowers and lowr, perfect syncopation, the Southern California man and maid will dance at the Biltmore tomorrow night The Trojan Knights and Amazons will attempt at this time to give a dance which will surpass anything ever given by a Southern California organization.
The dance will be an aftermath of the Stanford-Southern California game to be played Saturday afternoon in the giant Coliseum. Trojan Greeks and Stanford Cardinals will meet once more, but under decidedly different circumstances.
This dance will celebrate the resumption of relations between the northern university and Southern California. The Stanford team and coaches will be thfc honor guests of the occasion. Coach Glen Warner will meet Howard Jones, chief mentor of Southern Californai, in the ballroom of the Biltmore, and according to this meeting will continue the friendly rivalry which was started during college days.
The Biltmore is ready to receive the dancers, according to the committee in charge. The best of service is promised and no confusion will result in checking, as was the case last year at the Ambassador. The Maitre de Hotel has promised the very best of punch for the occasion.
Earl Burtnett and his twelve masters of syncopation will provide the music in their famous characteristic style. Mr. Burtnett has several features to offer, according to reports, which should prove popular with those present. He has arranged a selection composed of several Southern California songs and according to those who have heard it, the number is bound to be an instant hit.
The floral decorations are very beautiful, consisting of a large blanket of chrysanthemums, cordinal in color. Baskets of these and other flowers will decorate l»he ballroom ar.d parlor.
Solly Levinson reports that one special feature will be given, the exact nature of which is not given out at this time, but which has to do with the honoring of a great man.
Practically all the tickets have been sold, according to the ticket committee. A very few remain and it is expected that these will be sold by tomorrow night
The ballroom committee announces that there will be sufficient room for everyone to enjoy the dance to the upmost. Only 500 tickets have been given out to be sold and absolutely no mere will be available.
Final instructions have been issued by Yell King Henney for the Stanford game Saturday afternoon. The main announcement is that no seats will be reserved in either the men’s or women’s sections. First come, first served, for the best seats. The rooters will be seated from the bottom seats up, according to the way they come, according to Henney.
Instructions for men in the rooting section are: All men “must” wear white shirts with bow ties. This is very important, according to Henney, as the appearance of the rooting section must be uniform. Rooting caps are also a necessity for admittance to this section.	•
Each man must have a metal rim megaphone, to be given out at the entrance. The women’s section will be on the right of the men’s section; that is, half of the section will be given over to university women, the remaining half to be filled with the overflow from the men’s section.
Contrary to general opinion, the women’s section will not be reserved, according to Marshall. If groups of women wish to sit together, they must come to the game in a body, according to announcement Anyone who fails to meet the rooting section requirement as to white shirts, bow ties and rooting caps, will (Continued on Page Eight)
TROJAN KNIGHTS
All Trojan Knights report at the Coliseum at 11:30 Saturday morning. Gates open at 12 noon and it is very important that all Knights report promptly at 11:30.
TROJAN FLAG WILL BE RAISED THIS MORNING
Seniors Meet in S-206; Juniors, S-305; Sophomores, O. C. Chapel and Freshmen in Bovard Auditorium.
Today at ten o’clock a new custom which is hoped will become a tradition will be started at Southern California. It is the raising of the Trojan rally flag. “This new flag is to be displayed before every Southern California rally, and if the team is victorious, the flag will remain up over the week-end, but if the team is defeated, the rally flag will be lowered to half mast,” said Katy Campbell, secretary of the Rally Committee.
According to San Gates, chairman of the Rally Committee, the flag is unique in design, and very attractive. It is to have a Trojan head on either side, and the color of it is to be cardinal. This event will be practiced at future rallies.
A group of the leading buglers of
the Southern California hand will play just before the flag is raised. The student body will meet in front of the Administration Building promptly at ten o'clock, and will sing “High O’er the Field of Battle’’ while the flag is being raised. The students will be accompanied by the buglers. Don Cameron will deliver a short address on “Traditions.”
“The beginning of this new custom should be witnessed by every member of the student body,” said Miss Campbell of the rally committee, “for it is hoped that this new custom on the Southern California campus will be attended with dignity and reverence.” According to Art Syvertson, who originated the idea, the ceremony is to be very impressive, and in order to do so, it is necessary for everyone to take an active part in the inaugura tion of this new event As it will take place at the regular chapel period, there is absolutely no reason why everyone cannot be there.
After the ceremony, the entire student body will proceed ttf Bovard Aud itorium where twenty minutes will be given over to the practice of Southern California songs and yells. This is es sential in order that the rooting section may make a good showing at the Stanford game tomorrow afternoon.
After song practice, the students will attend class meetings.
Coaches Jones and Herd Will Talk. Yell Practice and Singing
Also on Evening's Progam.
With Harold Lloyd, Hal Cooley, star of the Fox studios, and member of the Trojan Club, Coach Howard Jones, Coach Cliff Herd, Henry Lee, Martin’s quartet, and campus celebrities, including the 100-piece Trojan band, as entertainers, the Stanford rally tonight will undoubtedly be a red-letter event in Southern California history.
“Just before the battle” the S. C. supporters will meet in Bovard at 7:30 Friday night for a final yell pracUce and general pep meeting. Speeches of great interest will be given by Coach Howard Jones of the S. C. varsity, Coach Cliff Herd of the Trojan Frosh, and Hal Cooley, loyal Trojan rooter and film star.
“The Trojan Spirit” is the title of a skit written and directed by Art Syvertson, in which Ravelle Harrison, Leland Tallman, Bill Henley, Adna Leonard and Marcos Beeks will take the prominent parts. “The exact nature of the skit is a deep secret, but will be ‘short and snappy,’ ” said Syvertson.
Music will not be neglected, according to Kathleen Campbell, secretary of the rally committee. The Southern California band, directed by Hal Roberts, will be on the stage 100 strong, ready to co-operate with the rooters for the special stunts which will be featured at the game.
Henry Lee Martin’s quartet will introduce a new Trojan song, “The Red and Gold.” He will be assisted by four S. C. musicians. In addiUon to this, “The Roy-'Al Saxophone Sextet” will give several snappy numbers.
In regard to the song and yell part (Continued on page eight)
