Some time ago we wished Mort Kaer luck in his scoring again to silence the critics who said he did his work last season against second rate teams. We are doubly glad, for this reason, to see him getting his due from the New York “Sun.” But it is not with the idea of praising one man that we write this. We believe the selection of the “Sun” is indicative of the fact that western teams are coming into their own in American football and we are proud of the fact that Southern California men are back of this growing prestige of the west. There are a lot more besides Mort who aren’t so very far behind the Big Boys and next Saturday is going to show the skeptics that an All-American at Southern California is just one of the men on the team. Nevertheless, we are glad Mort got that watch.

Four Coaches Are Guests at Men’s Banquet
Jones Brothers, Rockne, and Zuppke Will Speak at Homecoming Dinner.
Southern California’s football coach, Howard Jones, will be the principal speaker at the men’s Homecoming banquet which is to be held next Friday in the Shrine Temple. That there be no dearth of notables at the banquet, Knute Rockne, coach of the “Fighting Irish,” who battle wi?h the Trojan team on Saturday, Tad Jones, brother of Howard and coach of Yale University, and Bob Zuppke, who rules the football teams of Illinois, will also present short addresses.
It is said that never before has such a group of sport luminaries been present at a Southern California Homecoming dinner. Don Smith, stu-. dent banquet chairman, and Herman Alber Jr., who was captain of the Trojan varsity of *13 and who is alumni chairman, have arranged for special talks by other men who are vitally interested in the sport world.
The Trojan tjand is included in the large program which is to be presented during the meal.
All male students, faculty members, and alumni of the University are eligible to attend the banquet.
At the time that the men of the University are banqueting in the Shrine Temple, the women of the University will be enjoying a dinner in the President’s parlors. At this dinner, the mothers of the freshmen and varsity football players will be

At the risk of being thought a permanent bore, we want to throw out an idea that came to us over Thanksgiving relative to all this talk about the maintaining of the “insidious double standard,” and so forth. The remark of one of our professors yesterday gave us the opening. He said, in passing, that since women have taken to bobbing their hair the barber shops have become inestimably better places.

LAW EXAMINATIONS COMMENCE TODAY
Regular quarterly examinations at the Law College begin today. These will continue on through Thursday and the new quarter will start Monday, the sixth.
The examinations will be of special importance to the first year m^n, as they will serve the double purpose o fshowing them whether they are assimilating sufficient knowledge under the Case Book system, and inflate them into the distinctive elements of Law School, i. e., “Hypo-theitical Questions.”
INTELLIGENCE OF MEN HIGH flJITNOTUSED
Men have superior intelligence but they don’t use it, according to statistic^? compiled by N. Bradford Trenham, M. A., statistical assistant to the educational secretary of S. C.
The result of the Thorndyke Examination for High School graduates shows that the average intelligence of men is 7 per cent higher than that of women. Apparently men make a better showing in stiff examinations of intelligence and memory than women do. But why, oh why, if men are better equipped mentally, don’t they use this knowledge? For women consistently have twenty-five per cent better grades than men.
The best and the worst grades are made by men, which accounts for genius and dumbness. Women have the best group averages which proves that intelligence is not the only factor to be considered.
