SPECIAL PROGRAM GIVEN
Theatre Publicity Bureau Will
Advertise Tuesday As Trojan Night
By TERREL DE LAPP
As m result of the cancellation or the rally Chat was to be held this morning, a mammoth tootball rally will be held in honor of the Missouri and Southern California lootball teams at the Criterion Theatre next Tuesday evening at 7:00.
This was the decision reached in a conference between representatives of tbe Criterion Theatre and Hal Williamson, S. C. representative in this
project.
It has been felt by student officers of S. C. that there is an opportunity to give outsiders ,as well as to Trojan supporters a chance to get in on a real rally.
The management of the Criterion have agreed to literally turn the theatre over to lT. S. C. on Tuesday night. Banners .streamers, and other decorations have been arranged for. Cardinal and Gold will be predominant throughout the theatre, according to plans made in yesterday's conference. It has also been planned to place shields in the lobby of the theatre on which will be printed the names of players of both S. C. and Mizzou players.
UP TO STUDENTS
Representatives sent from the Criterion feel that the success of this big undertaking lies with the support that it receives from the S. C. student body. One of the representatives states, "Tuesday night will be just a big rally for U. S. C. We are willing to do anything with our program or theatre that will help to make this the biggest thing of its kind ever attempted.’’
The Criterion publicity department is carrying on a campaign in the down-town papers to boost this project. Their art department is also carrying out the decorating of the theatre.
The regular program now running will be changed about to suit the program that is to be put on by S. C. students. The feature picture that is now running is Dante’s “Inferno.” This is rated as the most- worth while picture playing in the local show j shops. A comedy, pen pictures, and other attractions make up the re6t of the Criterion's regular program.
~ A dance orchestra that is w'ell j known on the campus will be first on the student bill. A campus singing organization will also entertain.
A speaker for Missouri will be engaged by the Criterion Theatre.
DANCE ON PROGRAM
Harry Hall, S. C.’s incomparable clog dancer, will have a place on the program to give some of hie dances. He is always a big attraction, and has professional experience behind him.
(CONTINUED ON PAG® FOUR)
Four out-of-town newspapers will be taken over for one issue by members of tche Press Club early in the second semester. The trips will be under the! direction of Prof. Marc N. Goodnow. j head of the Journalism Department of I TT. S. C. A managing editor has been j appointed for each trip, who will , choose the members of the different I staffs.
These excursions are made in the second semester every year in order that aspirins journalists may come in touch with the actual work of putting out a daily paper. The four papers who have consented to so assist the embryo editors are the Alhambm Post Advocate, the Pomona Progress, the San Pedro Pilot, and the Fullerton Tribune.
The managing editors that have been appointed are Grady Setzler. Marguerite Matson, Ralph Holly, and Marquis Busby.

U. S. C. PRESENTS PROGRAM ON KHJ WITH SUCCESS
CONTINUE WAMPUS SALE ON CAMPUS
In order to give all the loyal Trojans a chance to'secure their half dozen copies of the precious Wampus, especially those who were busy on Thursday grinding out term papers in time to make their profs a Christmas present, a repeat sale will be staged on the campus today, consisting of the residue copies and those snatched from careless possessors. Tommy is kind-hearted; he can’t bear to see anyone without a dose of his AntiX31oom medicine.
More copies than ever before were given to the Associated Students’ Store, and several newsstands will probably have the opportunity to help distribute Wamp to as many as possible, in order to give every U. S. C. student and anybody else who needs to be cheered up a chance to annex the special treatment of wit. wigor. and witality.
The artistic and finished cover by Julia Suski, a faithful Wampus con- i tributor of the past, sold the magazine to many appreciative people who expected a superior product, and according to the most critical, received it.
Contributors are wanted for the succeeding numbers. Wampus will gladly receive contributions during vacation from those who can take time between dances and term papers to write something. All mail should be addressed to Box 16G, U. S. C., and; must be in by January 6. The Janu-; ary number is to be entitled the j Necks number, and drawings are j wanted concerning rubbernecks, bot-1 tle-necks, horse's, dirty .checken, gi- j raffe, and ostrich, neckers, park benches, Ford coupes, getting it in the neck. etc.
U. S. C. went on the air Wednesday ■ evening at the usual hour of 7:30 at | KHJ with an exceptionally well arranged program, according to radio ! fans who listened in. This was one j of the weekly programs presented by i Southern California every Wednesday evening which lasts thirty minutes.
Bud King and Ormande Greer, saxophonists, were first on the program,
J playing “By the Waters of Minne-tonka,” by Charles Wakefield Cadnian. Ruth Ella Petty, accompanied the j sarophonists, also played several 1 numbers entitled ‘‘Country Gardens, i by Percy Grainger; “Melody of Dusk.
by Frederick Keats, and ‘‘Colinette, by P. Beaumont. Elizabeth Donnely, cellist, accompanied by Minna Frask, played The Rosary,” by Nevin; “One Fleeting Hour,” by Carrie Bond, and ' Mother MacChree,” by Ernest Ball.

Material For First Apolliad To Be Due After Holidays
Material for the Apolliad must be in January 9, Miss Tacie Mae Hanna of the School of Speech announced yesterday. In order that a thorough examination of the material can be made by the committee in change, at least one month must be given for consideration of all manuscripts. Rehearsals are to begin on February 1, and the presentation will be made in the Touchstone Theatre some time, in March.
The program in March will be thej first of its kind at the University of Southern California and the Apolliad is endeavoring to establish a move-i ment here such as the Harvard Workshop at Harvard. Annual or semi-annual programs are to be pre sented and critics of national reputation who are making their homes in Los Angeles will be invited to attend. Admittance to these affairs will be by invitation only on the first night.
One-act plays, poems, lyrics, short stories, music .essays and art work are wanted by the committee in charge. All work must be original and nothing that has been produced or published before will be acceptable. Contributions are especially desired from the College of Dentistry, School
of Law, College of Music, besides the campus colleges.
Many persons on the Liberal Arts campus, Miss Hanna said, have announced their intention of writing for the Apolliad. A great deal of material is expected to be submitted after Christmas vacation. All material that cannot be used for the Apolliad program in March will be produced by the Touchstone Players in their semimonthly programs. Miss Hanna said.
Material when submitted should have a pen name written upon it. An envelope containing the real name and address of the contributor should accompany the contribution, the pen name appearing on the envelope also. Selection of material will be made solely on merit.
“For the writer or composer who is seeking recognition and has not yet arrived, the Apolliad offers an excellent opportunity," Miss Hanna said yesterday. "Critics and well-known persons, interested in such movements as we are attempting, will be invited and the author will be assured of an appreciative audience and criticism that will be constructive. Possibly some unknown author will receive recognition for the first time."
MISSOURI RALLY IS AT STATION
Missouri’s football team, coaching ! staff, and rooting section will arrive j at the Santa Fe Station at 7:30 Tues-j day morning.
This is the announcement that came from Ned Lewis, Southern California Student Body President yesterday afternoon. If it had ben possible to hold the rally this morning, instructions would have been given to those Trojan rooters who had planned to be | at the station to welcome tbe Christ- , mas guests.
Mr. Lewis urges every Trojan who ; can possibly be at the train on Tues- | day morning to be.there, he says, ae the rousing welcome given the Syra- | cuse team on its arrival did much to | prove to the public that Southern Cal- ; ifornia has an incomparable spirit of welcome and sportsmanship toward visiting football teams.
Wooden Horse Material Is Due After Vacation
Contributions to “The Wooden Horse.” will be due immediately after Christmas vacation according to Oar-ey McWilliams, editor of the magazine. The literary magazine is to make its appearance on the U. S. C. campus in January and will inaugurate a new editorial policy, the magazine being more within the sphere of student interest. The first issue will be the largest ever published, containing about fifty or sixty pages.
Only a small edition of “The Wooden Horse” will be printed and an advance mailing list is being made up.
WITH Hi COMEDY
Rehearsals for “Seven Keys to Baldpate," to be presented by I'. S. C. under the auspices of the Junior class, are proceeding satisfactorily, according to Miss Florence Hubbard, director.
• The cast is made up of unusually versatile people,” Miss Hubbard said yesterday. ‘All are portraying excellent characterizations, and seem enthusiastic in their parts. In order to insure a splendid performance, the cast will rehearse during the holidays.”
Ellsworth Ro.ss, who plays the lead, is well known on the campus for his highly successful work in college plays for the past three years, and is a member of National Collegiate players, honorary dramatic fraternity. Dorothy Marie Davis has worked with the Pasadena Community Players with splendid success. Selvyn I^evin son has been connected with both stage and screen work as assistant director for several years.
Clare Kaufer has long been a campus favorite. Many probably remember the play ' The Romantic Age,” in which she starred. Clare is a member of the Zeta Phi Eta and the National Collegiate Players. Geneviene Mulligan has one of the moat pleasing personalities seen here on the stage, appearing in “He said and She said,” and "Everybody's Husband.” Genevieve ic also a member of the Zeta Phi Eta. Lawrence Cohen, Bill Hansen, William Hogue and Ruth La Fontaine are all transfers from eastern schools, coming here with creditable records. Ralph Holly, Barton Hutchins, Ravelle Harrison, and Chet Mackie will be seen by U. S. C. audiences for the first time together in a major production. They are all portraying excellent characterizations.
Miss Florence Hubbard stated yesterday that rehearsals are progressing with definite accuracy. In order to assure a splendid performance, the cast will rehearse during the holidays.
From all indications, the El Rodeo j subscription drive, being conducted by1 Burdett Ives, circulation manager, and his staff of forty students, the campus will go over 100 per cent before the time limit expires, according to Barton Hutchins, editor.
“Everywhere the committees aie finding enthusiastic support on the part of the students,” Hutchins r-aid yesterday. “Those who cannot pay the j $4.50 down, are signing up to pay immediately following the holidays, thus saving 50 cents. The price of the an-■ nual goes up to $5.00 as soon as the j drive is over, so students would do I well to sign up and assure themselves of an El Rodeo at the reduced price.”
Alpha Rho Chi fraternity announced yesterday that it had subscribed 100 per cent, making three fraternities | with that record. Phi Alpha and Phi Kappa Tau being the other two.
Now that the football season is ] drawing to a close, Fred Jenkins and j John Parsons, editors of th> Pigskin j section of the yearbook, are winding up work on their department, and expect to have all the "dope” in shape I by the middle of January.
COVERS ALMOST READY | The covers for the publication are | nearly ready, it was announced early j this week by the Leather Products and j Fnishing Company, of Los Angeles, who were given the contract. Covers will be of brown crushgrain leather, will have a striking design, and will be 9'i by 12% inches.
The miniature El Rodeo buttons, denoting that the wearer has subscribed will be ready immediately following the holidays, for the January drive.
“All campus professional fraternity pictures must be in civilian clothes,” Jan Moore said yesterday. “The Dent and Law pictures are to be formal, as are the honorary fraternity and sorority pictures. The honorary pictures will not be in group .but individual.
At a meeting of the staff, held yesterday, it was decided to postpone the subscription drive until after Christmas when, as Barton Hutchins put it ‘‘the students’will return with jingling pockets, and run every solicitor to death to give him their subscription —and the whole staff wishes the whole student body a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Thirty-three is the final number of U. S. C. men who hav^ signed up to take the trip to the Western America Student Con\ention at Asilomar. The party will leave here for Monterey-Bay on Friday, the day after Christmas. They will bring together representative students from four different countries: Mexico, Hawaii,
United States and Canada. Those in charge are particularly pleased with the number of students coming from Mexico, Hawaii and Brtish Columbia.
Hawaii is sending a strong delegation and several British Columbia colleges j are sending their full quota. This will ; be a big step toward international understanding.
The campus at Asilomar is one of j rare beauty. There are numerous specimens of the famous “Monterey pines” and a curved highway skirting the shores of the Pacific in one of its most beautiful spots. This, combined with many places of great historical interest, is expected to form an atmosphere which will contribute greatly to the success of the convention.
"As there will probably be no other convention with as large a scope as that of the present one for at least a few years, those who are not taking! cisions.
Thirty-five husky Tigers, the personnel of the University of Missouri lootball eleven ,took the Southern Pacific rails this morning from Columbia, Mo., enroute to the L^s Angeles Coliseum, where they will do battle with the U. S. C. Trojan Varsity on Christmas day. The "show me” lads are due to arrive in Los Angeles Tuesday morning. December 23.
Coach Gwinn Henry, mentor of the Missouri Valley champions .will start his stellar lineup against the Trojan eleven for the opening kick-off. Henry- has announced that he will use the same lineup that defeated the Kansas University on Thanksgiving day. 14-0 .giving the Missouri Valley Conference title to the Tiger team. The U. S. C. starters will be the same as opening lineup of the Syracuse contest.
According to the advance seat sale, a crowd of about 60,000 is expected to swarm the Coliseum on Christmas day. A rooting section of 2,000 students has also been planned to make
the game one of the biggest of the Coast’s four inter-sectional contests of 1924. The Trojans upholding the honors of the west in two contests, is being looked upon to duplicate their feat of the Syracuse game. California and Stanford, the other two western schools will meet Pennsylvania and Notre Dame on New Year’s day.
MEN IN CONDITION
Coach Elmer Henderson has his men in top condition for the argument and will take his regulars to a local resort for three days prior to the game. No injuries mar the condition of the Trojan men and Henderson will be able to put his best squad in the field.
The game will be one of the most picturesque inter-sectional games on the Coast, with the Trojan management securing some of the best officials in the country to handle the de-Walter Eckersall, All-time,

Playing opposite Norman Anderson there will be Van Dyne, a youngster who has been chosen with the U. S. C. player on the second team of an All-American selection by a Chicago sport writer. To see these two All-American tackles facing each other, should insure a battle to the fans.
The Red and Black team, headed by Captain Bond ,has had a very successful season, having won from Chicago, by a 3-0 score. Chicago won the Big Ten Conference title. The

Bachelors Stage Christmas Party With Great Hilarity
With Santa Claus as referee and the Phi Delta Chi house as scene of the struggle, the Bachelors pulled off their Christmas dance last night amid scenes of hilarious hilarity and joyous jovialty. About twenty Bachelors ■with their ladies fair and gorgeously dirty cords took part in the celebration and voted that the lemonade for which Phi Delta Chi’s are famous was worthy of its name.
The annual Baohelor cup (tin) was awarded to Fred Breylinger, dancing with Frances Buchanan ,for something; that was neither a horn pipe nor yet i the Highland Fling. 'Mr. Breylinger, j together with Howard Coy, also gave the president. Carleton Morehouse, a run for his money in the matter of cords, although Mr. Morehouse, being the president, naturally wore thej dirtiest.
A real Christmas tree had real presents on it for all the really good j little girls. Every girl received a j
present, hence the conclusion is obvious. Hank McCann impersonated Santa and distributed the rewards of merit. Nevertheless most of the Bachelors have since declared that they do not believe in Santa ClaOS. But that is believed to be nothing more than the incorrigible egotism of the Bachelors, who simply must be original or bust.
Complications also ensued from another of their claims to fame the rule that no Bachelor can take the same girl to more than one dance. Several of the members have taken up the co-ordination idea seriously, as it is used at the Metropolitan, and are thinking of forming a combination to trade off girls. However, not a word of this is to reach the ear of the president, or nobody knows what might happen—he might even want to join the combination himself.
But the lemonade was simply delicious.
