VARSITY LEAVES S.P. STATION TONIGHT AT SEVEN O’CLOCK
Four Thousand Expected at Largest Send-off Rally Ever Given. Band to Play. John Hawkins Will Speak
Go north, young men.
Four thousand voices will send this shout echoing and re-echoing through the large halls of the Southern Pacific Station tonight at seven o’clock because thirtv-four Trojans go north to meet a foreign foe, in the Oregon Ag- j gies, some under conditions which may not favor the young men of Troy. The ! largest rally ever held is expected by Yell Yeader Henry McCann for all I true Trojans have pledged their cooperation.
The band will play, the heroes willC- |
talk, and the crowd will wax merry for the brief three quarters of an hour that the -Rally Committee has pounced upon before the train leaves.
Hal Robert’s music makers will gather above the mass in the baloney of the station and on the same plane will gather the football men and the speakers of the occasion. Photographers will assemble and ‘“shoot" the

will probbaly take place in the general excitement and noise.
After the Trojan Band has first stirred the crowd to a higher pitch, Captain John Hawkins, will voice his and the team’s last words before the train pulls out. John, unlike many leaders, has a gift of oratory and what he says will probably be well worth listening to. Coach Elmer Henderson will be there, as will Hunter and Calland, Henderson’s two right-hand men and capable coaches.
The observation car of the train will be given over to the players before the train leaves and the railroad company has promised to let as many as can get into the tracks have the privilege of touching the car of the heroes who go to make Trojan history.
Songs, cheers and yells will com-j prise the main body of the rally which is expected to out-rally the reception that was tendered the team when they returned home after the Washington game last year. This rally was in Coach Henderson’s mind one of the greatest shows of Trojan spirit he had ever witnessed. The Rally Committee believes that tonight’s mob scene will give tihe team a great boost in the direction of success.
When asked for pre-game statements from the coaches, the same thoughts were expressed. "Count the score after the game.” This seems to be the feeling of the men and coaches in general.
Bill Hunter said, “We realize that conditions might not be what they should, but you know our object is to play football and play it fair.”
If you don't think Honey Earle is a hard boy to stop on the football field just look at the Wildcats draped around him. Hank LeFebvre is the gentleman on the e ;treme right. Norm Anderson is on the bottom of the pile at the left
In Bovard Auditorium
Mario Chamlee, lyric tenor of Metropolitan Opera Company and former U. S. C. football star, who will sing in Bovard Auditorium, October 10, for the benefit of the Trojan statue fund, has been the recipient of much praise from discriminating critics.
Many judges have mentioned him as Caruso’s successor. Pitts Sanborn says, “His voice resembles more closely the Caruso voice than any other I have heard,” while W. J. Henderson, regarded in New York as the hardest critic to please, wrote, “He sings with much beauty of tone and with well sustained phrasing and with fervor. Many singers might do well to emulate Mr. Chamlee’s diction.”
General Pershing, upon hearing Chamlee give a concert one night in tihe Argonne, sent for him and told him he would soon be singing in the Metropolitan.
Many Los Angeles organizations are supportinigl this concert which Mario Chamlee will give at U. S. C., October 16, and evidences are that the words of the critics have borne fruit.
Organizations who have pledged support include Ebell Club, Wawan Club, Los Angeles Music Teachers’ As-
U. S. C. AT STANFORD
S. C. Debate Squad Captain to Compete in P. C. Conference
Extemporaneous Contest
William S. Barber, captain of the Trojan debate squad and candidate for presidency of the freshman class at Law school, was chosen last week by Coach Alan Nichols to represent U. S. C. at the Pacific Coast Conference Extemporaneous Contest, which is to be held at Stanford on November 21. Barber was chosen from a group of several candidates as one having a thorough knowledge of the subject, The Supreme Court, and Coach Nichols feels that he has made a wise choice.
Las year the Contest was won by Ned Lewis, president of the Associated Students, and it is the aim of the debating followers to have the distinction of taking the contest on two consecutive occasions.	d

Coach Henderson Again Uses Straight Football for Gains Against Arizona Squad; Punting Shows Improvement
By LEE CONTI
Predictions that the University of Arizona “Wildcats” would be wild, were verified in the Coliseum Saturday, when it took practically all of Coach Elmer Henderson’s cohorts to stop th» now tamed felines and won by a 29 to 0 score. That the Wildcats were ferocious was shown by the numerous penalties they were subject to, which included, tripping, slugging, and general bum’s rush tactics.
Penalties marred the play in the opening quarter, when both squads were repeatedly set back for infraction of the gridiron rules. The local penalties
0 were of the off side variety which came about due to the new system of group signal calling. Arizona were called for tripping and in one case referee Badenoch ordered Gilliland, the Red and Blue halfback off the field for slugging.
GOOD PUNTING
Straight football on the part of tliv? Trojans seemed again to be Coach Henderson's order for the day. A few passes were attempted. The kicking department was out in full strength and seems to be rounding back into form, Cole, Dorsey, and Lee booted them far and high.
Bill Cook, a bundle of speed and constructed on the LeFebvre lines, showed the fans a few fancy steps, in his first varsity appearance this season. Cook, who played with the Stanford Frosh last season has been out of the two previous varsity engagements due to an iniured shoulder.
Against the Wildcats Bill proved that he is a dependable safety man and can also skirt the ends, plus hitting the line, in big league fashion* MANY PENALTIES The first quarter passed unnoticed save for the many penalties and punt exchanges. It was not until the second round that the Trojans started their drive. With the ball bucked to Arizona's is goal posts at the end of
LA MONTE IS PLEASED
Professional Experience and Unexpected Talent Revealed in Records of Aspirants
Rehearsals for this year’s Extravaganza, “The Campus Scandals,” are to be well under way by next Friday, according to Hank McCann, who is directing the production. Tryouts will be concluded tomorrow afternoon, and those selected to play in the annual musical comedy will thereafter be put through their paces regularly.
Instead of using thirty-two girls in the chorus, as was originally planned, forty-eight will be used, in three shifts of sixteen each, thereby diminishing the work of each one in the chorus.
Last Friday eighty girls were tried out, and the task of picking the best will be a puzzler, according to Hank.

Huge Campus Chest Drive To Eliminate Many Tag Days
T’he Campus Chest drive which will be launched Monday morning, October 27 and close Wednesday, October 29. will, by one united effort, eliminate the many drives, tag days and other sporadic campaigns—end the waste of effoffrt and energy, and reduce the cost of collecting funds, according to Fred McAllister, chairman of the Campus Chest Committee.
Although tfye Campus Chest plan is being tried out for the first time or this campus it is not exactly an ex periment. The Community Chest, from which the Campus Chest idea developed, has been established with success in nearly 200 cities, and is growing in the regard of the public, and gaining in achievements *t is
believed by those sponsoring the plan that the campus can benefit by the experiences of the cities which have used the plan successfully.
Each organization has submitted a budget of the amount of money necessary to conduct its welfare wrork. The Campjis Chest Committee will pass on

After the students who manage to squeeze inside Bovard Auditorium have seen, and heard, Abe Lyman direct one piece there will be a rush for dance tickets extending from the meekest frosh to the most solemn member of the faculty.
Because of this, ticket sellers are urging those who wish to attend, to do their shopping early. Tickets will go on sale in a few days and they may be purchased from any Trojan Knight or Amazon. Only a limited number of tickets will be sold on the campus and late comers are liable to be disappointed.
