Fumbles and Penalties Mar Otherwise Perfect Day for Trojans
Surpassing even the remarkable smashing performance of the week before in rolling up what is probably the largest score in twenty years of Pomona-Trojan struggles, the Cardinal and Gold footbal team ran, bucked, passed and dodged its way to an 80-0 victory over Pomona College
Saturday in the Coliseum.
After the first few minutes of play,
it was quite evident that the track meet of the previous Saturday would be repeated. Southern California kicked off, but Pomona was unable to gain in two tries and kicked on the third down to Kaer. Kaer and Lee with repeated runs averaging about 20 yards worked the ball down to the 15 yard line where Mort elected to pass. The ball was grounded over the goal line giving Pomona the ball. Crosby then made one of Pomona’s very scattered first downs on a left end run. However, the Sagehens were compelled to (CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE)
KNIGHTS DECIDE ON RULE ENFORCEMENT
Trojan Knight-Amazon Dance Will Be Held After Stanford-S. C. Game Each Year.
The Stanford dance and enforcement of traditions were among the questions considered at the Trojan Knight meeting, held last Thursday at the Delta Mu Phi house.
The meeting was opened by a report from the Coliseum committee, who congratulated the students upon their co-operation at the Whittier-Calteck games. They announced that Burdette Henney wanted all the boys in the rooting section to wear white shirts and bow ties; also, a careful check is going to be made upon rooting hats so that no one will get in the game on a student ticket without one. An appeal was made for all the fellows to play the game and not sit with the girls after entering the Coliseum on a student ticket.
After the report, the Knights ra-affirmed their decision for a strict enforcement of traditions, and planned to start in working on the Frosh again unless Frosh hats are worn and the “queening” stops immediately.
A new custom to which will eventually result in a tradition i£ going to be introduced to the S. C. campus in the form of a new arrangement of the big dance held after the Stanford game. This year it will be called the Trojan Knight-Amftzon Varsity Ball,
Land will be held on October 17. Last year this dance was called the Trojan K.Jiight-Amazon Dance, and the year preceding that simply the U. S. C.-^alifornia Dance. This new form is fcoing to be the customary name. It Las also decided that a limited number of tickets would be placed on sale (to the students at $2.50 a couple.
The meeting was closed after deciding to hold a Trojan Knight and Squire get-together next Thursday jvening, October 8, at the Phi Alpha pouse. The meeting will start at teven o’clock.

RALLY HUGE SUCCESS
Spirited Talk by Draper Helps Good Work Along; Embroyo Cheer Leaders Fill Up Time.
Smooth, seductive syncopation by one of the best orchestras in the country, a brilliant and inspiring talk by Raney Draper, former president of Pomona student body, and the antics of would-be yell leaders ,all contributed to make the Pomona game rally unsurpassed by any held this year or in past years.
Waring’s Pennsylvanians poured forth their usual brand of high-powered collegiate syncopation and received a tremendous ovation from the packed auditorium. That they are truly the most popular organization of melody dispensers ever brought lo display their wares before the student body was evidenced by the fact that they were called upon to give encore upon encore. Among the numbers they played were “l^ady, be Good,” “Let it Rain, Let it Pour,” “Titina,” “Freshie,” a group of college songs and “Collegiate.’ Tom Waring sang “Syncopating Sal,” a song of his own composition.
A peppy, spirited talk was given by Raney Draper, former president of the Pomona student body, and now a freshman in the S. C. Law School. Draper stated that although a graduate student of Troy, he is still a Sagehen at heart.
“Loyalty is not a spontaneous reaction, but grows out of a sense of love and affection for one’s first alma mater,” Draper said. “Pomona, for the seventh time, is coming to attempt to carry home the Trojan helmet of victory, but the pity is that they haven't a chance against the powerful Southern California varsity.”
Draper was authorized to speak for the student body president of the Claremont Gollege and tell us that the Sagehen is going to fight until the last feather is gone in an effort to be victorious over their ancient rivals at Troy.
The former 'Pomona president also declared that Southern California has at last really come to the realization of the real power and possibilities which are inherent in her and is ready to assume the position which rightfully belongs to the Trojans in the collegiate world.
During the latter part of the rally, seventeen aspiring embryo cheer extractors displayed their ability at the well-known art of influencing the masses to throw out their chests and create the most possible uproar per cubic inch of lung capacity. Most of them received a big hand and showed that “Carrots” Henney is an efficient instructor.
The rally’s success is due to the untiring and loyal work of the student Rally Committee, which is composed of the following people: Sam Gates, chairman; Kathleen Campbell, Pari WelA, Martha Wiggett, George Jordan, Art Syvertson, Eloine Truitt and Ormonde Grier.
AUTOMOBILE PAGE FOR DAILY TROJAN DUE WEDNESDAY
Editor Freeman Hall To Give S. C. Snappy Automobile News.

Automobile Club To Co-operate With Auto Section in Giving S. C. Road Details.
PLAN JUNIOR PROM MEMBER 12
Annual Junior Affair To Follow Closing Grid Game of Season, December 12.
Freeman Hall, editor of the Automobile Section of the Trojan, announces the initial appearance of this supplement Wednesday. As this was one of the most successful sections in last year’s paper, the student body is looking forward to its appearance with keen interest. This supplement will be four pages, and the same size oi the Trojan, it will be issued every Wednesday for the remainder of the year.
The staff of this section will include Bernard Weinberger, manager; Freeman Hall, editor; William Jeffery, assistant editor. This staff will be assisted by two reporters. As the editor is anxious to increase the size of his staff, all those wishing to contribute to the paper will be given a tryout. Mr. Hall will receive news at his desk in the Trojan editorial room over the Students’ Store.
In addition to news articles, which will be the feature of the sheet, there will be various departments covering the motor world.
Feature stories, as well as comic sketches and jokes will also appear. Articles on the upkeep and care of the automobile will appear from time to time, giving complete information along these lines. This material will be gathered from experienced men who are up to date and reliable. As the average motorist knows very little about his car, this information should prove very helpful.
The Automobile Club of Southern California has offered to co-operate with the paper, and will lend all the assistance it can. In addition to keeping the staff informed on the changes in traffic rules and ordinances, they will also keep the staff supplied with news articles pertaining to travel.
Students may rest assured, says Bernard Weinberger, in trading with advertisers, that only ads from reliable firms will be accepted.
In addition, states the managing editor, the local student motorists will have many opportunities to take advantage of the special discounts and prices which will be allowed to the Trojan students.

Senior Play For December Play Staff Eligible For Next Year’s Production Manager.
Plans for a Junior Prom which is to be very exclusively an upper-class affair, were discussed at the Junior meeting Friday. The prom is to be held in the Fiesta Room of the Ambassador Hotel, December 12, the night of the St. Mary’s game. Tickets go on sale in two weeks.
A prom that is not an all-university j affair, as in the past, but an exclusive upper-class formal, requires the support of every member of the junior and senior classes. Upper-class law and dental students may attend this year. Art Syvertson, who has been working all summer on preparations for the prom, says that he will exclude lower-classmen. Tickets will be out in less than two weeks, according j to Art. “This is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party.”
The following chairmen have been appointed: Prom chairman, Eloine Truitt; finance, Bob Service; programs, Reva Hawkins; ballroom, Bill Teetzel; orchestra, Don Parker; refreshments, Eloise Parks; publicity, Bill Stewart; chairman of traditions, “Boots” Oudermuellen.
All Seniors who may be interested in displaying their histrionic ability are requested to report to Room 206 this afternoon between 2 and 4 o’clock. Parts for “The Broken Bachelor,” the class play to be presented in December ,are to be cast at this time. There are a number of leading, straight and character parts to be had, all of which are excellent opportunities for the right person.
Ellsworth Ross, dramatic manager, f
announces that “The Broken Bachelor” must get into routine rehearsals immediately if the piece is to be whipped into shape by the first of December, and urges that those interested in the actual production of the play be on hand this afternoon.
The Senior play this year is expected by many students on the campus to be the biggest and most popular play on the dramatic calendar. This belief is prevalent because of the recognized ability of the class members and because of the high entertainment possibilities of the comedy farce se lection, “The Broken Bachelor.”
Also the announcement is made to men students, sophomores and juniors, w'ho wish to become active on the play production staff this year. A fairly large staff is to be picked with several competent assistants who wrill be trained to carry on the office of university dramatic manager next year. Those who may be interested should see Mr. Ross as soon as possible.
By JOHN SCOTT
In securing Earl Burtnett and his orchestra for their dance at the Biltmore Hotel ball room on October 17, the Trojan Knights and Amazons have scored a distiact tmllseye. Burtnett is one of the best known musicians in and around Southern California, having conducted orchestras at the Club Royale and the supper room of the Biltmore Hotel.
According to Bill Stewart, in charge of the dance, Burtnett will have twelve of his famous syncopators and blue-blowers. Anyone who doubts Mr. Burnett’s ability to produce music which is the delight of the college man or woman is urged to be present at this dance and see for himself.
Along with the promise of music comes the announcement that tickets will be available on Tuesday, Oct. 6. These can be purchased at the Student Book Store or from presidents of the various fraternities on the campus. The tickets will represent the bare cost of the function, according to Stewart ,the Knights and Amazons not wishing: to clear any greart amount of profit on the dance. The cost of the tickets will be $2.50, that is, for a couple.
Another important innovation regarding the dance, according to Stewart, is the idea of limiting the number of tickets this year so as to provide sufficient space to dance. Last year the crowd jammed the Ambassador ballroom and none was able to do justice to his terpsichorean ability. According to Stewart, it will be decidedly different this year.
The Biltmore ballroom, where the dance is to be held, will comfortably

STUDENT STORE RAS
Comes to the Fore With Creation
of Brand New Sticker of Distinctive Coloring.
Taking the prominent place of interest, according to Dean Fiske, at the Student Store now is the new sticker designed by Gwynn Wilson, lt is said, by those who have seen it, to be distinctive and beautifully colored; students are being urged by the Rally Committee to adopt the sticker.
The design is in the form of a circle in which the central figure is a Trojan head in gold on a background of cardinal. The border contains the words “University of Southern California” in cardinal on a background of gold.
This year the bookstore has been better supplied with the books, especially those for which there as great demand, and with a few exceptions there has been no shortage. During the exceptionally busy days the store averaged over twenty-five hundred customers a day, and taking as an average about three books for every course, nearly one hundred thousand books have been sold every day since the sixteenth of September.
Judging from past experiences that it was unwise, the management has this year decided to give rebate checks only to those who ask for them at the time of purchase, thus giving assurance that they intend to use them. Last year at the end of the semesters, when checks were to be turned in, all manner of them appeared. Some were rescued from the gutter, and a few had been altered to suit the finder. A number were even so bold as to present checks from the Broadway Department Store and the Owl Drug Company.
Business at the soda fountain has more than doubled since last year and a great number of students have acquired a taste for waffles, judging from the demand at breakfast time.
Profits from the store are to go into the building of a Student Body Union which will house the student body offices and store.
Editor Gives Definite Factors Which Will Determine tbe Six Successful Aspirants.
Tomorrow is the deadline set for Trojan staff tryouts. All students who aspire to a position on the regular staff must present themselves at the office of the Daily Trojan at that time, according to an announcement made by the editor, Lee Conti.
At the present time there are lwfen-ty-four on the staff. Thirty is the absolute limit that the staff can accommodate and function efficiently. Although twenty is the desirable number, it is felt that school duties are so heavy that it is better to distribute the work more widely. There are, therefore, “berths” for six reporters to be chosen from the large number of present and prospective candidates.
The method of choosing candidates is as follows: All applicants who come to the office before Wednesday will be given assignments. The managing editor, Freeman Hall, with George Jordon, assistant editor, and the copy desk editors, will check on the work turned in and select six people, taking the following factors into considera tion:
1.	Dependability. This is a prime requisite.. A story must be turned in on every assignment, no matter what the conditions. Assignments must not be passed up without a legitimate excuse, so it is necessary to watch the board in the office where they are posted daily.	,
2.	Ability to write in newspaper fashion. There is a vast difference between news writing and theme writing. Editorializing in the news columns is prohibited, so reporters must be careful to keep personal opinion out of their copy.
3.	Typewriting ability. All stories turned in must be typed if they are to be considered. Writing by hand leads to typographical errors and valuable time lost, so its use has been discontinued.
4.	Initiative. "A nose for news,” that is to say, the ability to recognize and run down a news story without its having been assigned, will add greatly to the reporter’s value to the paper.
5.	Previous experience. This is highly desirable, but some exceptions are made ,as for journalism students.
At present there are about twenty candidates for the six openings, but it is not too late for other ambitious ones to present themselves. It is especially urged that more men try out.
It is assumed that those who appear to work for these positions are doing so in order to advance the best interests of the Trojan, the university, and themselves, and not to obtain the publicity that staff membership entails.

Sigma Phi Delta and A. A: E.
Make No End of Plans For Coming Year.
With a new College of Engineering as their goal in all this year’s activities, the engineer inhabitants of the "barn,” under the leadership of the American Association of Engineers and Sigma Phi Delta, national engineering fraternity, are planning an inclusive program of social events and practical field trips.
The staging of their first rampage in the form of their annual “Hard Times” dance, which is to be held'this year in the pavilion, the Engineers, under the head of “Boots” Oudermuellen, will begin the semester schedule of events.
As tradition demands, all participants will be required to appear in cloths of not only protective value, but of historical significance. Plans for the dance are still in the embryo stage, according to the committees in charge, who were loath to give out1 information for publication.
The Engineers are not the only ones
Sweaters or shirts of the blazer type, which may be worn by both men and women, were adopted as the official garb of the Sophomore class at a meeting of the Sophomore Apparel Committee in Bovard Auditorium Thursday afternoon. According to Henry Rohr, president of the class, the exact nature of this regalia is to be kept as a surprise for the campus, but that it will be an exclusive design is assured by the fact that a monopoly has been obtained on that particular pattern from the local manufacturer.
Leather vestees, lumberjack shirts, and slip-on sweaters were considered by the committee, which was headed by Wayne Harrison. The lumberjack shirts which the Sophomores of last year wore, were rejected this year, because a suitable garment for girls as well as boys was desired.
In making the selection, Betty von KlefnSmid and Dorothy Douglas, members of the committee, were used as models in order to insure a proper selection.
That the new blazers will be entirely suitable for wear on all occasions was assured by the committee. The fact that this is a city university" where students must be off of the campus a good deal, influenced the selection to a great extent. According to Rohr, the need was felt for a distinctive apparel, which no student would be ashamed to wear, whatever his daily pursuits.
The exact date when the new blazers will be “sprung” on the campus is being kept a secret, as well as their exact design. However, it is a certainty that they will come out within a month, and possibly before the Stanford game.

YELL CANDIDATES PERFORM AT RALLY
Thirteen Candidates Try For Job As Assistant To Henney.
Tryouts for assistant yell leaders were held in Bovard Auditorium during the rally last Friday.
Thirteen candidates were subjected to the scrutiny of the student body and the executive committee. The student body will be a factor in deciding on the successful candidates in so far as the ovation each candidate received last Friday will influence the executive committee in its final decision.
The committee will meet next Wednesday evening to vote for the four 'who made the best showing in leading yells. These four men will get an opportunity to lead the student body in yelling at the Utah game. After the game the executive committee will decide on the two cheer dispensers showing the most ability. These men will become the assistants of ‘Carrots” Henney for this year.
California Art
Club Has Exhibit
Of interest to many students will be the California Art Club’s sixteenth annual exhibit now being held at the Exposition Park gallery.
Brilliant color and lovely harmonies are the keynote of this year’s exhibit which is one of the finest ever presented by the Art Club. All paintings submitted were passed upon by a jury of prominent artists and only those of highest merit selected for display.
Among the well-known artists contributing are: Harold Swartz, whose
