There you have it, folks, the Daily Trojan’s All-Opponents selection for 1925. Many no doubt will not agree as is the customary reaction toward all mythical teams, but it must be considered that the men received their positions on the kind of game they played against the Trojan varsity.
The squad was picked from 13 teams that the Trojans faced during the past season, and in which the following football conferences were represented: Pacific Coast, Far-Western, Big Ten, Southern California and Rocky Mountain.
To the Cardinals from Stanford went the honor of placing five men on the first string selection. Idaho, Iowa, Oregon Aggies, St. Mary’s, Washington State and Montana each took a position.
The selection was made by readers of the Daily Trojan, the S. C. coaching and managerial staff and local sports scribes. For further details of the All-opponents team turn to the first sport page.

APOLLIAD MOVEMENT
LGEI AFTER THE HOLIDAYS
A packed house is expected tomorrow night at eight o’clock to witness
the whowing of the Dental Minstrel* of 1925. Bovard Auditorium will be the scene of an entertainment of which the backers predict greater success than that enjoyed by any show ever produced by the Dental school.
Maurice L. Kusell is in entire charge of the direction of the show, and his coaching of both the chorus and the specialty men is considered the best that could be obtained for the presentation of a snappy production. He was the technical director of the much heralded Harry Carroll’s Pickings, which had a long and successful run in Los Angeles a short time ago.
The curtain will rise upon a chorus almost entirely composed of men in natural color, though the four end-men will appear in the “dard-town” shades. Cass Smith Meyers and Harold Decker are the outstanding singers that are assisted by the chorus as a whole. The music of the show is of the iatest and most appealing variety. Scroggs Singleton and Sylvester Mueller divide the honor of the interlocuter position, and Singleton does a little soft-shoe dancing.
Bill Moss and Al Bourgoise have a song and dance act that is very similar to the one they were noted for in their extensive run on the Orpheum circuit before they undertook the study of dentistry. There is a violin trio by Walter Pinkham, Ted Pe.zold, and Morris Haig.
