The Trojan football schedule calls for as great a lineup of games as any football team will encounter. Although it is not as long as the schedule of 1925, three of the greatest football teams in the country will be met by the Cardinal and Gold squad. Notre Dame, the most famous football squad in the country, is the headliner on the Trojan bookings, with California and Stanford crowding the “Fighting Irish ’ game for national importance.

Promising to rival the now-historic Extravaganza in class and eclat, the Senior Road Show, the program for which Director Grant La Mont and his cohorts finally selected Friday night, is scheduled for Bovard Auditorium on the night of April 30. Five acts have already been definitely selected and one or two others will prob ably be chosen.
The feature act, according to Eddie Blaine, masquerades under the title “College Life in 1849.” The name la explanatory in itself, Blaine remarks, refusing to divulge whether that famous era of prosperity and its gold-digging ways have any untoward con' nection with the modern.
The act is reputed to be a rollicking comedy, with an unrivaled cast. This includes the ever-popular “Gogo” Belanger, of Extravaganza fame, and Wes Woodford and Eddie Blaine, comedians extraordinary. Woodford has composed a number of original compositions. which will not only be sung, but also will be tastefully embellished by the graceful “Pony Ballet” which was one of the big hits of the Extravaganza.
Rivaling the above act in popularity will be “Poor Old Jim." A great treat is in store lor those who do not know Cecil Deilille's hilarious comedy. It will be presented under the capable performance of Ellsworth Ross, as “Jim” himself. Selvyne Levison and Clare Kauffer. This trio presented the act three years ago with tremendous success. “Poor Old Jim” has> been presented on practically every stage of importance in America. Foi-its clean, sparkling humor, the clever one-act skit is said to have no rival.
Even the immortal Shakespeare is not immune from “pepping up” and some enterprising students have taken his most famous romantic-tragedy, “Romeo and Juliet” and transposed it into a mirth-provoking farce that will appear on the program as “Ro-miet and Julio.”
The “Varsity Trio,” a short skit presented by the Southern California | Glee Club, is predicted as being cer* I tain to attract plenty of applause, I while the Merry Music Makers, San-J ford Wilson and Voltaire Perkins, will (Continued on Page Four)
Fulfilling the promise offered in the big parade Friday morning down University Avenue in spite of policemen and animal catchers, the All-U Circus unrolled and literally outdid itself Friday night in the basketball palace and may well be called “the world’s greatest.”
Monkeys and other campus freaks were satisfyingly exposed to the gaping crowds. Pink lemonade, squawk-ers, Freshmen and otherwise, clowns, fortune tellers, tumblers, balloons, “for men only” booths and finally a big ring for the main acts, satisfied the cravings of those who secretly yearn to crawl under the big tent.
It was generally agreed by the surging student mob that when sororities and the Y. W. C. A. got together, it was a real circus for weary eyes.
Friday morning the Circtis was advertised on the campus when the participants staged a parade along University avenue. Cameramen from the various news-reel companies were on hand to film the performances.
DR. WILDER TALKS AT
Y
Head of Student Volunteers Movement Will Speak At Regular Council Dinner.
YOUNG CO-EDS GUESTS OF S.C.
Glendale High School Girls Entertained On Campus Friday by W. S. G. A.
Dr. Robert Wilder, an internationally known Christian worker, has been secured as the speaker at the regular “Y” Council dinner Wednesday evening. which will be open to all university students. Dr. W’ilder is at present the head of the Student Volunteer movement in ^jnerica ond is in Southern California to attend a convention of that body held in Whittier April 16, 17 and 18.
Dr. Robert Wilder is linked with John R. Mott, Sberwood Eddy and Robert E. Spear throughout the world. These four men, when they were students together, all pledged themselves to do the greatest amount possible toward ths Christianization of the world. They are all now world famous.
Dr. Wilder was for a time the head of the National Y. M. C. A. He was also, lor many years, the head of the British Youth movement in England, an organization having the same aims as the Y. M. C. A. Dr. Wilder was for years a worker in India.
As one of the originators of the Stu dent Volunteer mo’ ement, the work of Dr. Wilder is outstanding. tDuring the thirty years since the Student Volunteers have been organized, more than 11,000 students have actually sailed for foreign fields through its influence.
BRANCH SKIT IS PLEASING TO STUDENTS
Visitors Present Clever Act in Assembly; to Exchange With Trojan Players.
Presenting an impromptu skit, a group of students from the Southern Branch made a decided hit with the Southern California students Friday during the chapel hour. The Branch representatives are players in the Annual Press Club "Vode” at that institution. They gave snatches from that production. Bob Fellows is in charge of the “Vode.”
Vic Beall was very well received as head comedian. He successfully presented a type of humor which only those of long experience can master. Beall showed an appealing sense ol humor, as well as fine stage presence | and action.
Peggy Kelly, Peggy Weaver, Frank Pierce and Bill Collins, all of whom have leading roles in the “Vode,” appeared in the skit. The “twins” were also seen, presenting, with Beall, humorous dialogue and actions. Peggy Weaver and Frank Pierce were particularly pleasing in the duets, singing, “I’ll Be Your’s” and “Tonite, You and I Should Be Studying.”
The skit was presented as an exchange program between the Branch and Southern California. S. C. students are to appear before a Branch assembly later in the month. This is the first of a series oi exchange programs between the universities and colleges of this coro'-nunity. The programs, it is hoped, will foster a better feeling and spirit between the institutions.
Opening the chapel hour, Tom Aguilar and John Post drew cartoons of some of the leading students. Post satirically described the students, while Aguilar drew fairly accurate sketches of thefn.

Percy Niersbach sets new Southern California Record in 880 at 1:55.6.
By BILL FOOTE
With the victories over California and Stanford still fresh in the minds of sport fans of the Southland. Coach Dean Cromwell’s classy Trojan trackmen added more laurels to their already enviable record by trimming the Los Angeles Athletic Club and Olympic Athletic Club of San Francisco in a triangular track meet at the Coliseum Saturday, scoring 63 points to 43 scored by the L. A. A. C. and 29 chalked up by the Olympic men.
True to form, the meet was featured by many sterling performances. Paddock, “World’s fastest human” broke the world’s record in the 150 meter dash. Neirsbach broke his own South ern California and University record of 1.55:9 in the half mile by breaking the tape at 1:55.6.
Dye clicked off the high sticks in 14:6 to tie his own Pacific Coast mark, and Grumbles tied the Pacific Coast record in the low hurdles of 23:6 held by Bob Maxwell who finished second to him in Saturday’s race.
The most sensational event of the day proved to be the 150 meter race which was substituted for the 220 yard dash, in which Charles Paddock shaved a big shaving from the world s rec-
the world.
The appointment of these Seniors added to the six recently chosen by the General' Electric Company brings the total of ten students, who are to take graduate courses under the tutelage of the world’s largest manufacturers of electric equipment. This represents 50 per cent of the graduating class, which is not equaled by any other technical institution on the coast.

Woodford Presents Original Compositions Over Air; Junior Extravaganza Leads Given.
Thursday night ihe S. C. program over KFI presented entertainment that had an appeal for every college student and many others in radio-land. This program was featured exclusive lv by Extravaganza -lits and was well received by everyone who has reported of having heard it.
The Southlanders, Ray Hatfield’s collegiate merry-m^ers, presented several numbers, among which were, “Thanks for the Buggy Ride” and the “Saint Louis Blues.” The Southlanders were the featured orchestra in the Extravaganza.
Wes Woodford and Gogo Belanger, junior leads in the Extravaganza, presented several numbers from their Extravaganza repertoire. Gogo sang “Take Away the Charleston,’’ while Woodford sang his own composition, “Mary Ixju” and “My Gal Sal.” Josephine Campbell, feminine lead in the Extravaganza, sang “Kiss Me, Then Say Goodnight ’ and Gene Johnson’s new song hit, “Mem’ries.”
Eldred McGreal. Extravaganza star, then concluded th® program with ! “Ship of Dreams” and “Always.” j Gene Johnson was accompanist. Ac-1 cording to the radio manager, there j is a possibility that the entire Ex-j travaganza chorus may appear on a j program over KFI in the near future. ;

Other than the feat of Paddock, the most sensational times were turned in by Cromwell’s men. Neirsbach’s great race in the 880 with Dye’s and Grumbles’ fast time in the hurdles predict a hot time for athletes of other colleges in the annual I. C. 4A meet this year.
In the weights, Captain Bud Houser did his usual stunt of bringing in 10 points for the Trojan team, finding little competition in his old rival “Tiny ” (Continued on Page Two)
