FORMER.& C. LAWYER
Has Been Trustee and Attorney In Local University for Twenty Years.
COL. FRITH APPOINTS
YELL LEADERS TO APPEAR IN CHAPEL
Try-Outs for Future Screech Kings to Take Place Today.
William M. Boner to Have Direct Control of Operations in Southland.
William M. Bowen, former trustee of Southern California, and at present chief attorney for the university, has been apponited Chief Counsel of the Twenty-second Federal Prohibition District, according to an announcement by Colonel R. E. Frith, prohibition administrator. The appointment was made Monday, to take effect immediately.
Mr. Bowen, who is familiarly known to his friends as "Judge” Bowen, has long been actively identified with Southern California. For twenty years he served as a trustee and attorney for the university without pay, but a year ago he was appointed Chief Legal Adviser, a salaried position. According to Warren S. Bovard, comptroller, Mr. Bowen has been one of the most valuable officials ever connected with this university. Although he is an alumnus of Drake University, Mr. Bowen is a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at Southern California.
The office to which Mr. Bowen has been named, although a new one, is important in ‘the field of prohibition enforcement. It is designed to relieve the United States attorneys from much routine work. Among the new duties of Mr. Bowen will be the sifting over of all cases before they are Dresented to the United States attorney for prosecution, and the giving of general advice to prohibition forces. Two assistants to Mr. Bowen, whose names have not yet been confirmed by Washington, will be appointed.
In making the appointment, Colonel Frith stated: “I insisted on a man of the highest legal standing! I insisted also on a man who believes in thorough enforcement of the prohibition law, and whose word will be accepted at its face value. I believe I have found him in Mr. Bowen.”
For many years Mr. Bowen has been prominently connected with the legal profession of Los Angeles, and writh the civic development of this city. He has been a member of the firm of Scarborough and Bowen for twenty-six years. He was a member of the City Council from 1901 to 1904, and, as a member of the Park Commission, he was known as the “Father of Exposition Park.”
RIFLE CLUB MEETING
The Rifle team will have an important meeting in Coach Nichols’ office at 12:00 Monday. The original date for the meeting was Tuesday, but has been changed by Coach Nichols. All men out for the Rifle team are requested to be present.
Seventeen ambitious aspirants for the two positions as assistant yell leaders, which are now open, will endeavor to show how nauch noise they can get out of S.C. students in today’s rally in Chapel, when tryouts are held before the entire student body under the supervision of Burdette Henney, yell king.
The method of choosing the successful candidates will be the same as that followed out successfully last year. The results obtained by each embryo noise-producer from the audience will be carefully noted by members of the executive committee, who will be scattered about in different positions iu Bovard Auditorium. When the executive committee meets next Tuesday, they will cboose the four men who make the best impression today. These four will be given a chance to “do their stuff’ next week at Friday's rally and at the Utah game. Then, at the next'meeting of the executive committee, the two out of these four who will be Henney’s assistants for the year will be named.
The men entering the competition will all be given an equal chance to demonstrate their ability. One minute of time will be allotted to each candidate and he will be permitted to lead the student body in one yell. This shortness in the amount of time allowed to each one is made necessary by the large number of men trying out.
Henney wishes all the candidates to meet him in back of the stage before the last bell rings at ten o’clock. The yell tryouts are the first thing on the program at the rally, and it ‘is necessary for all of the seventeen men to be on hand early if they wish to get an opportunity to lead the rally in a yell.
So many high-grade cheer leaders have turned out for these tryouts that it is practically imposssible to tell which ones are the most likely-looking candidates. For this reason, the psychological effect of each man on the student body, as well as the amount of noise which he can get out of his audience, will count a great deal in determining who is Dest fitted to assist the yell king in his strenuous duties.
STUDENT TICKETS ISI6MA PHI DELTA TO
FORSTUDESONLY
Students Will Not Be Permitted To Sell Tickets to Outsiders; • Stanford Takes 14,000.
Because of the large demand by students for tickets outside of the rooting section for the Stanford game, Mr. Marshall, in charge of the sale, asks students not to buy tickets for outsiders. Many students have been purchasing them for outsiders w’ho claim to be alumni but have been unable to obtain alumni tickets. This practice deprives many of the privilege of purchasing seats for their parents and friends.
Dental faculty tickets are being taken care of in Dean Ford’s office. Those of the Senior Dental School and Law School are on sale at the respective schools. From present indications their quotas will be snapped up by the end of the week.
Stanford’s allotment was 14,000 tickets, the seats being located on the south side of the coluseum. Mr. Marshall is directing the Stanford alumni to write to Stanford for tickets. From 1 all appearances Stanford will send down a large representation.
Arnold Eddy, assistant graduate manager, is quite confident that the coliseum will be completely sold out at least one week before the game. Everyone who desires to get good seats should buy their ducats now: however, because of the seating arrangement, all reserved seats in the coliseum are good. According to Marshall, seats directly behind the goal posts are in demand, especially by coaches and football enthusiasts. These seats have several advantages in reference to the sun and the angle of view.
The B. H. Dyas Company is the down-town location of the ticket office. The best public tickets may be obtained there.

Pomona College
Alumni Rallies
Pomona College alumni residing in Los Angeles and vicinity held a football rally luncheon at noon yesterday in the Broadway Department Store men's grill, for the purpose of lining up their interests back of the Sagehen varsity before their opening game with the Trojans Saturday at the Los Angeles Coliseum.
Coach Eugene Nixon made the principal talk of the afternoon. Other speakers include Earl Merritt, freshmen grid mentor. Clyde Holley acted as toastmaster.
Coliseum Accomodations
Bettered During Summer
Those of the 25,000 football fans in seats that can accommodate 76,000 per-
the Coliseum last Saturday who saw some of the games last fall observed a number of recent changes in the big athletic plant in Exposition Park. There are no longer inconvenient fences to keep the crowds walking. Only one fence immediately at the foot of the turf incline. Sunken gardens and wide stretches of lawTn have replaced the dirt of a year ago and there are many more paved boulevards outside the walls.
On the inside ,the Coliseum has been subjected to a thorough painting, and the numbers on the seats were burned in, replacing the painted nu-
sons comfortably. The largest daytime crowd ever assembled there gathered two years ago to witness the football game between Southern California and the University of California. At that time there were 75,-000 in the big bowl. At the Shriners’ festivities early this summer, however, 110,000 crowded into the Coliseum to see the electrical display of the convention.
The total height of the bowl is sixty feet, thirty being below the surface of the surrounding ground level, and thirty above. The bottom dimensions,

dred gallons of cement paint, better in quality than that formerly used, went into the big job last summer. A number of Southern California athletes were on the job, Kenneth Boyer, bas-

Y CGuiNOL MEETS AT DINNER PARTY
Many Attend First Event; Songs, Yells, and Speeches on Program.
The “Y” Council gathered for their first meeting this year in the Y.M.C.A. Hut on Wednesday evening, and a rec-ord-breaking attendance was reported, as there Were ninety-eight present compared with sixty-four at last year’s first meeting.
A wonderful three-course dinner was served, during which Elliot Pence presided at the piano with a few of his special selections. Some prominent “Y” men from California Institute of Technology, and also from Glendale, were present. Burdette Henney, yell king, next led in a series of university songs in which everyone joined.
After the repast,‘the program was formally opened wSth a solo by Ber-win Riske of the College of Music. His first number was “The Builder,” followed by “If I Were Twenty-one. ’ Donald Cameron, student body president, expressed in a lew words hia appreciation qf the work the “Y” Council is doing on our campus. Stanley McKee followed with a few remarks. Misses Gertrude and Marjorie Stephens then sang two duets, accompanied by iMiss Schultz at the piano. They were guests oi' the “Y” Council from the University Y.WT.C.A. Short addresses were then given by Dr. Hill, Dean Hunt and Dean Waugh.
These “Y” meetings wtill continue from now on throughout the entire year at the “Y” Hut at 5:30 o’clock every Wednesday evening. At the next meeting Dr. Carl Knopf will begin a series of talks on science and education in relation to the • college student.
At a meeting of Sigma Phi Delta, engineering fraternity, final plans were made for the next edition of the Trojaneer, the official publication oi the engineering student body. It was decided at the meeting to place the editorship of the paper each year in the hands of the president of the fraternity, but to have the business manager and managing eefctor elected. The second issue, which is due to come out next week, is in the hands of Milton G. Uarwitz, managing editor, and Walter Baisch, business manager. Both these men have had considerable experience in this.
At first indications it was decided to have the paper come out once a month, but due to the enthusiastic rereception that it received at the hands of the engineers on its initial appearance, it was decided to have it issued bi-monthly.
The Trojaneer w'ill not only embrace those directly connected with engineering work but will also include the activities of those in the departments of chemistry and geology, and everything connected with scientific matters. A unique feature will be the space devoted to the discussion of important engineering feats of the’ day. There will also be a personal column telling of the individual activities of engineers.
A drive is now on for subscriptions to the Trojaneer and according to present indications the engineers are doing their utmost to back the enterprise and circulation among the surveyors is expected to be 100 per cent. Several of the engineering organizations have already unanimously pledged themselves. Among these are Sigma Phi Delta and The American Society of Civil Engineers.
The staff that will carry the responsibility of the publishing of the paper throughout the year has not been definitely decided upon and anyone desirous of trying out for a place should see the managing editor. Places on the staff will be based upon the showing of those turning in material for the next issue.
red Waring’s nationally famous Pennsylvanians, the drawing card of Los Angeles theaters for the past six months and a true collegiate orchestra, will furnish a twenty minute program as the prominent feature of this morning’s rally, according to Sam Gates, charman of the Rally Committee.
The Pennsylvanians are at present “bringing down the house” in the atmospheric prologue to Harold Lloyd’s "The Freshman,” scoring a hit that ri\als the success of the be-spectacled one himself. The orchestra was first oiganized at the University of Pennsylvania by the two Waring brothers

lating today as to possible ways of "getting in on the party.”
All attempts of men students in past years to view the doings of the girls failed dismally, the unwritten records of the univeristy show. Seemingly ingenious devices of deceit ,such as donning women’s clothing, wrere unavailing. How to use such experiences of the past to good advantage tonight was the big topic around fraternity houses today.

“Carrots” Henney will conduct the final tryouts for assistant yell leaders. From the field of sixteen enthusiastic aspirants, all A-l crowd charmers, the student body will assist in choosing the two most. capable. Popular applause and the psychological effect upon the audience will play important parts in the decisions, but the actual selection will be left to the executive committee.
Doors will be opened soon after the end of the nine o’clock class and will be kept open until every seat in the auditorium has been filled. Today promises to see one of the best rallies on record, according to Gates, both from the standpoint of enthusiasm and entertainment.
FROSH MEET FOR DANCE DECISIONS
Scotty LaVelle presided at a meeting of ihe Freshman class in Bovard Auditorium at noon yesterday.
The most important thing discussed was the proposed Freshman dance scheduled for the evening of October 31. When the matter of the dance date was discussed, it was found that the majority of the Frosh did not want it at that time. The president thereupon appointed a social committee to investigate and report upon a time at which the dance could be held.
LaVelle appointed an athletic committee to investigate ways and means to recoup the prestige the Freshmen lost at the recent Frosh-Soph Olympic games.
