Wildcats Live Up To Name According to Reports From Tuscon

Tonight at 8 P. M., the Troan Varsity five will tangle at the basketball pavilion with the Wildcats from Arizona in the first ot the annual two-game series between the two Universities. The second game will be played Wednesday evening.
Arizona has always produced strong basketball teams, living up to their moniker of “wildcats” more in this branch of sports than in any other. Two years ago, they trimmed the Trojans decisively four times, twice at I Troy and two times in Tuscon. Last j year the Trojans were going better and won both the games scheduled, 36-15 and 31-26.
The Wildcats have suffered two de- j feats this season; one at the hands of1 a semi-professional team in Arizona, and the other by the University of California. They have swept all other opposition before them. From the 6Cores of their games, Skousen and Oldham, forwards, seem to have an excellent bead upon the basket, each scoring an average of fifteen points a game. Miller at running guard also eems to score an appreciable share of the points in each game, and will be a good man to watch. Brookshire at center and Clark at guard make up the rest of the team.
GOOD WORK DONE Mort Kaer got into step with the rest of the team in the Santa Clara game Saturday night, and worked great-guns. It was feared that the Trojan team-work would suffer sadly with the losg of Johnny Hawkins, but Kaer has adapted himself in a surprisingly short time and will fill the center position admirably. Boyer and Badgro, the flaming youths, seem to get better every game and present a problem to any set of guards. Captain Dorsey has not broken into the point column often this season, but his quick and cool floor work have been responsible for many shots, and with Laraneta has ably guarded the opposing basket.
The Trojan Knights will furnish entertainment between the

FRIDAY MEETINGS WELL ATTENDED BV CLASSES
Plans for Near Future Include Senior Snap and Soph Dance
Class meetings Friday were distinguished by a rather larger attendance than usual due to the interference of the university authorities in the matter.	' 7 Senior meeting in H 305 was entertained by a six piece orchestra which the junior class sent up, juniors met in H. 206, sophomores in the Old Chapel, and the freshmen in Bovard Auditorium.
All classes installed new officers for the coming semester and made plans for the remainder of the term.
The seniors made many appointments the first of which was the manager for the Senior Road Show, Solly Seamons.
The date for the first Senior Snap was chosen. Dorothy Haldeman, senior vice-president, announced that plans have been made to make this first Senior Snap a big affair and all seniors are asked to get their tags and attend this Snap. The Snap will be held March 4th in the basketball pavilion and tags will be sold to the seniors for 25 cents.
It was also announced that invitations for commencement will soon be halves of j placed on sale at the Students Book
under the terms of the will of Dr. Norman Bridge, Chicago millionaire whose will was put on probate Saturday, will | be benefited with a sum estimated at least. $1,000,000. Four other educational and medical institutions are named in the will, and under the terms of the will, the bulk of the estate, which is estimated to be worth between $7,(100,000 and $8,000,0(10, will, upon the death of Mrs. Bridge ,be di-i vided equally between the five institu-| tions, four of which are in Ix)s Angeles and vicinity.
The institutions named in the will are the University of Southern California .the University of Chicago, the Southwest Museum, the Barlow Sana-! torium, and the l^a Vina Sanatorium of Pasadena. Dr. Bridge had long been interested in the welfare of the five institutions and at times contributed liberally to their support.
Dr. R. B. von KleinSmid was unable to make any official statement on the matter* yesterday, but stated briefly that Dr. Bridge had intimated that he would do something for this university’s development, but that he had not expected that the donation would be as large as reported. Dr. Bridge, Dr. von KleinSmid said, was a strong friend Of the University and with Mrs.
terest in its work and its future possibilities. Endowment of the institution. buildings and equipment, Dr. von KleinSmid said, were of course very much needed here and that when distribution of the fund is decided upon it will be seriously considered and used only to merit the confidence which the generosity of Dr. Bridge has imposed. The board of the University will be officially advised of the gift at its meeting today.
Dr. Bridge was a widely known physician, scientist, and oil magnate. He has been deeply interested in financial, philanthropic and scientific circles of Southern California and lived here the greater part of his time, taking up residence in Chicago only to avoid the California laws, which otherwise would have prevented his making his important bequests to California institutions.
It was revealed in the will that Dr. Bridge had intended that the California Institute of Technology should receive a share of his estate, but that the will was amended and the sum of $500,000 was declared to have been given to the institute during Dr Bridge's lifetime. However. $100,000 will be devoted to improvements at Calteck, it was announced.

S. HUNT TALKS ON CIVIC CENTER
Through the architectural society of U. S. C. the allied architectural association has secured Sumner P. Hunt to speak on the proposed civic center plans, in the Touchstone Theatre, Thursday. Rebruary 19, at 4 p. m. The civic center plan is one of the big events of the city, according to Edwin Bergestan, president of the Alilied Architectural Association, and the speech should be of interest to all.
Models of the civic center and drawings of the plaza will be on display during the lecture.
The center will be bounded on the north by Sunset Blvd., on the west by Figueroa, on the south by 6th St. and on the east, north on Olive to 2nd, and east on 2nd to Alame^i. All apartments will be moved from Bunker Hill to make way* for the big move consisting of eight blocks. The buildings to be erected will be the library, a state and federal building, a city building and a group of city and county offices leading to the plaza in front of the proposed Union Station.
University Police Give Shower of Tags to Automobiles Parked On Campus
War on Student Law Breakers is the latest slogan of the University police division that threatens to injure both the pride and pocket books of automobile owning students, owing to an order from the city police department urging University patrolmen to pick up every student breaking motor vehicle ordinances and laws.
Attention will be concentrated on University avenue, it is reported, where, in the past, a set of unwritten laws were recognized to exist in regard to students, and freedom of the avenue and the curb were in existence.
The drive, for it threatens to assume such proportions, if the forecast of tags already distributed is any intimation of what is to follow, will begin Wednesday with an extra force of blue-coats added to the regular patrol.
Much complaint is said to have been registered with the police department, and has given rise to the new and stringent order from headquarters.
Without warning, however, the enforcement squad swooped down yesterday on an otherwise peaceful campus and a shower of tags marked their exit. Offences most frequently checked up against the students were wrong parking and speeding.
It is the oipnion of the squad that university students are, as a class, the most careless and negligent offenders in regard to traffic violations of any group, and it seems their grim determination to add themselves to the faculty of instructors in teaching conformity to traffic laws to University of Southern California students.
According to the ultimatum, Wednesday is tbe day when the real drive begins, pedestrian studes and street car riders being the only ones exempt from danger.
CHAPEL NOTICE
Returning students are to occupy at assembly this semester the same seats assigned for the first semester, unless sc hedule or classification makes it necessary to change from Tuesday to Wednesday assembly, or vice veersa. In such cases, students who have not already done so, should apply at Dean Waugh’s office for change of seat assignment; and any student who may have cancelled registration last semester should also apply for new assignment.
Proctors appointed for the first semester are requested to serve for the second semester also.
WOODEN HORSE IS TO GALLOP TODAY
j Woman s Gym Will Be Transformed For Costume Dance
La Nuit Boheme des Architects, the Architect dance to be held in the Women's Gym, Feb. 27th, will combine the glamour of Arabian Knights with the sophistication of the modern college dance, according to reports from the committee.
With gay soft drapes and a false ceiling, the gym will be transformed from its usual prosaic appearance into an exotic background for the gay-ly costumed figures of the embryo architects and their friends, while colored lights will throw a rosy glow over the scene.
A special attraction is promised by the committee in the form of a short pageant filled with color and comedy and ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Though this is the first dance of this kind on the LT. S. C. campus, they have been staged very successfully by the architectural departments of other universities. The U. S. C. society hopes to make this a yearly affair, each year taking one country as the basis for the plans of the dance. As it is a combination this year of Arabia and India, those in charge suggest that the patrons come in the costume of one of these countries though this is a purely arbitrary manner.

FRESHMAN CLASS LOSES MEMBER

On Campus; Has Snappy Stories
Prancing forth with a hefty gallop, after grazing for six months in the fields of knowledge, drama, wit and burlesque, The Wooden Horse, Southern California’s literary steed, will appear for a short time this morning at the hour of ten. 400 copies of the mid-winter number will be placed on sale at twenty-five cents each. The magazine, the largest ever published, will contain stories that will be of interest to every type of reader.
What is hidden between the covers of the literary magazine has always been one of the worries of the faculty and in the past the Wooden Horse has been classed as either too highbrow or too-brow. This issue, according to Carey McWilliams, editor, will be a combination of both, catering to the likes and desires of all. Devout admirers of Elinor Glyn, Scott Fitzgerald, Percy Marks, and Theodore Drieser will find the Wooden Horse especially entertaining.
Those who are contributing to the first issue of the magazine are Leslie E. Baird, William Scotten, Charles Casley, Marjorie Hull, Margaret Brown, Philip Pizza, Ercil Adams, Al Tachet, Bernard Breene, Consuelo Tachet, Charles La Mont, and Carey McWilliams.

WASHINGTON DAILY WILL MENTION OFFENDERS
U. of Washington (by P. I. N. S.)— Permission to the senior council to publish names of violators of the honor code in the University of Washington Daily, was given by the board of control at its meeting last night in Education hall. After much discussion, the board decided that such action would probably aid in making the code more effective.
Press Club initiation will be held February 24 at the Vanity Fair Tea Room, Figueroa and Wilshire, according to Chet Mackie. president of the Club. A turkey dinner will be served in connection with the initiation.
Sixteen people will be initiated into the organization. It was formerly the custom for initiates to read an original sonnet or short story at initiation. According to the President this practice will be discontinued. The pledges at ttys initiation will be required to put on a stunt or skit which they will arrange themselves. These stunts will be arranged in the form of an act.	«
Those who exr-ect to attend should sign up immediately urges F*resident I Mackie. The Chateau Cafe can only
Due to the fact that the printer El Rodeo are forced to know the number of year books to be published the final sale of Southern California's annual started yesterday and will continue until Friday of this week, according to an announcement mad** yesterday by Myrl Ott. manager of the publication.
It has also been found necessary to have the set of Witzel’s studio snored into the Y hut this week instead of next in order to get all pictures taken for El Rodeo in on time. Annoi.ace-ment comes fro mthe office of the year book to the effect that if picture^ are not taken in the Y hut before Friday of this week, they will not appear in the publication. The price o: the picture is $1.00 and any orders taken from the proofs returned after the setting will be entitled to a 33 1-J percent discount. This discount goes with any type of pictures ordered.
Officials of El Rodeo want it known that every junior and senior is entitled to having his picture appear in the annual. Members of organizations who are not upper division students are also entitled to this privilege. Group pictures including fraternities and sororities are to be taken by Mr. Ward, official El Rodeo photographer. Appointments can be made with him at any time. These group pictures are to be turned in as early as possible, or there will be the danger of them not being printed.
THREE TEAMS WORK Three teams are now competeing in the final drive for El Rodeo sales at present. The individual contestants of these teams are working toward winning the prizes that are on exhibition in the window of the Associated Students Store. First place takes a tuxedo; second a hat; and third a rain slicker. All of the prizes have been donated by Desmond's. The cup for the first one-hundred percent El Rodeo subscription list turned in by a fraternity or sorority has been presented by Meyer’s Jewlery Company. The winner of this cup has not oeen determined because of the fact that the new pledges of each house a e to be counted in the contest.
Tables have been placed at vantage points on the campus and subscriptions are being taken at these places. The price is still $4.50, three dollars being required to hold a book for the subscriber. The balance of a dollar and a half will have to be paid before the book will be delivered. El Rodeo plans to make its appearance sometime in May of thj\ semester.
MANY NEV ’EATURES Bart Hutchins, Editor of Ell Rodeo states that work on the book is progressing rapidly; that this year’s publication will rival or surpass any that have ever been edited; that El Rodeo will have many new features including a Beauty Tournament Section; that the size of the book has been increased: and that a record sale o? the book should be registered this year.
Mr. 04t stated yesterday, “I want every stuejnt to realize that this week is absolutely the last chance anyone will have to sign up for a book. T believe that many think that this sale is merely “bunk,’’ but they will realize their mistake when El Rodeo comes out and will be distributed to only those who have subscribed. This is the last warning to those who have failed to have their El Rodeo pictures taken, also. We can not hold up the book for ; the sake of a few who are too careless i to take enough time getting thei- appointment in the Y hut. The book | will not carry their photo unless t is | faken this week. That’s final.”
