After t he, smoke of battle cleared at Bovard Field Friday it was found that the sophomores had triumphed in each of the four events participated in by the two underclasses. Scrambled limbs, black eyes and excited spectators featured the contest.
The first event on the program was a pushball contest. An even number of freshmen and sophomores rushed the big ball promptly at one o’clock and

BIG KITTr SHARPENS MS FOI! RAMPAGE
Soon
Tommy Wamp is rearing to go. His
Southern California’s first rally was run off as per schedule Friday morning in Bovard Auditorium and was featured by a talk by President Rufus von KieinSmid, music and yells.
Taking into consideration the fact that Trojan rooters have not had a workout since last football season, the yells practiced gave promise that the best rooting section in the history of the school is in store for the present season.
President von KieinSmid gave an interesting talk on “Student Dynamics.” This was his first appearance at a rally this year and he received a great welcome from the student body.
“The Trojan Five” dance .orchestra followed the President’s speech and played four numbers.
Yell King Henney led the Student body in some of the old stand-bys. He failed to produce any new yells, but

Tommy’s fur produces sparks, rubbed in either direction. He is just sizzling to spread his general warmth everywhere.
COLLEGE MEN GIVEN

Burdette Henney w’ill hold a class for aspirants to the assistant position in the psychology of handling a rooting section and in teaching them the technique of leading Southern California yells.

The class will be held tomorrow in Bovard Auditorium at eleven o’clock. This early date will give the aspirants plenty of time to get their “stuff” dowyn before the final tryouts. The selection will be made by the Rally Committee, it is said.

Bank of Italy Offers Commerce Students Financial Openings
College men interested in entering the field of finance will have an opportunity to start under favorable circum stances, according to a plan recently adopted by the Bank of Italy.
Each year a selected group from the graduating class will be employed for service in the bank, and given a thorough training in each of the major departments. The practical work will be supplemented by educational courses and assigned readings, calculated to fill out the college curriculum.
The State of California offers an exceptional field for banking as a profession. The rapid development of branch banking has produced a number of large institutions, requiring skilled executives in the high brackets of personnel. The passing of the unit bank has erased the traditionally slow' rate of promotion characteristic of the “family” banks of the last generation. Under the new system, men of ability and capable of leadership rise rapidly to official prominence.
In attempting to secure men equal to the responsibilities created by the new' regime, the Bank of Italy has turned to the colleges for its supply. The program that it is following has been outlined by the Personnel Department.

ROOTING SECTION WILL BE FILLED
Over 2,000 Ticket-Books Have Been Sold Up-to-Date
Football, not only Trom an athletic standpoint, but in a financial way, will be more than a success this year than ever before. According to the amount of student ticket books sold at present, indications point to one of the largest rooting sections in the history of Southern California. Over 2000 of these books have been sold.
Ticket-books for the members of the faculty w’ill be placed on sale today at the students’ store. These tickets w’ill be sold at $6.50 and will admit the holders to every football game except the Stanford and Iowa clashes.
A branch ticket office will be established at B. H. Dyas’ store and will supply the general public. This will be the only place in towrn for the public to purchase their tickets and applications must be made early. This branch will be in charge of university men.
Student tickets ior the Stanford game are now’ being printed and wiil be placed on sale some time next w’eek. The tickets in the student body books entitle the bearers to 51.50 oft on the purchase of an admittance ticket.
This year yell leaders at S.C. should have little trouble in filling the rooting sections. Last year it was hard to get over 500 to fill the sections. This year a new yelling system has been inaugurated by Burdett Henney and he expects to have the rooting sections filled.
There are 1160 seats in the men’s section and it is urged that this section be filled fo revery game as empty seats will create empty spaces in the letter formations. “A big rooting section means a big score for Southern Cal,” declared Henney.
Arrangements Being Made Handle Big Gridiron Crowds
to
METROPOLITAN SCHOOL
All preparations have been made to take care of the enormously large crowds that are expected to attend the games in the Coliseum during the football season, according to Arnold Eddy in charge of this branch of activity. No new system will be introduced, but a method characteristic of the “survival of the fittest” will be applied in selecting men.
Only men that are willing to w’ork and are not asking for a job just for the sake of seeing the game, will be considered in the choosing of men. According to Al Sw’anholm, there w’ill be certain rules that all men must abide by. First, all men working under the pay of the school must w’ear rooter’s hfcts; all men must report to every call on time; no one will be allowed to smoke w’hile on duty; and at the close of every game each man must report on the field to hold the crow’ds from rushing the teams.
Arnold Eddy has the entire charge of all arrangements. Any one desiring jobs as section chief, assistants, or ushers nyist see him. For work as a gateman or guard, Ray Brockman must be seen. Swanholm is Senior captain, and Peu is Junior Captain.
Only at the Iow’a and Stanford games will lieutenants be used. This is because the Coliseum management is confident of having every seat taken. Tickets for the Stanford game are already on sale.

“Hello and Smile” is with us again. Along with such traditions as tht* sacred front walk, the senior bench, and no high school jewelry, there comes once a year to the S. C. campus a week known as “Hello and Smile” week, when even the seniors forget their dignity and smile, and even sophomores have been known to speak to freshmen. Today is the day.
This year the august Bachelors will sponsor this week of joy and good fellowship and have made extensive plans to promote the sp '* of democracy that they feel is necessary to the welfare of so large and cosmopolitan uni-vrsity as S. C.	.	♦-
Under the leadership of their newly elected president, Ormande Grier, the Bachelors have prepared stickers and buttons which are being widely distributed over the campus today as an additional reminder that this is the week when every student on the campus is the personal friend of every other student, whether they know each other’s name or not.
One of the more scientific benedicts (he asked that his name should not be revealed) has made a startling discovery. In the course of his laboratory experiments w’ith entering Frosh he has discovered that while only three muscles are required to smile, it takes sixteen to produce a frown. In these days of rush and efficiency he feels that students should know these important facts and profit by them. The Bachelors also have a signed statement from Burdette Henney that frequent use of the vocal organs is necessary to the best yelling at the games, and for that reason .“Hello and Smile” week should prove of decided value.
“Hello and Smile week cannot be a complete success without the co-operation of every student on the campus,” says the Bachelor prexy. “If the Freshmen do not feel completely acquainted after their experiencs of last week this will be their greatest opportunity, and the upper-classmen should take this time to renew old friends and acquaintances.”
