VICTORY DANCE IS CLIMAX OF ALUMNI WEEK
Carnival At Ambassador Will Fete Winning Team Of Big Game.
By IRENE SCHMITZ
As a grand climax to the annual homecoming on the Southern California campus and, above all, the victory of somebody, the greatest game of the season tor the S. C. varsity will be followed by ^n all-university dance at the Ambassador Auditorium tomorrow evening. *
With the victory homecoming dance in the form of a huge carnival, hats, horns, and a balloon dance, the feature of the evening, will all furnish the proper atmosphere of festivity for the affair. In addition to horns as a means of creating the sufficient amount of none, serpentining will also give to the dance the featured idea of victory.
Coach Howard Jones and the football teams of Southern California and Notre Dame are to attend as guests of honor. Tickets for the dance are $2 per couple and are now on sale at the Students’ Store and at the ticket office in the arcade of the Administration Building. Tomorrow night they will be obtainable at thc door of the Ambassador Auditorium. PLANS COMPLETED Plans being nearly complete for the Homecoming,«all Trojan alumni can be assured ol a royal welcome by the students of their Alma Mater. A smoker held at the L. A. A. C. last night started the Homecoming celebration in a most commendable fatshion. This aflair was preceded by «*Btertainm*nts of various kinds furnished by the sororities and fraternities of the campus.

Graduating Students and Noted Coaches Will Be Guests At Alumni Football Dinner.
Reading from wrong to right, you may have guessed already that the gentleman above ts none other than he who goes by the lengthy soubriquet of Christopher "Off again, On again, Gone again” Flannigan. In the streess of a football game the aforementioned title is usually shortened to “Gone Again”. Anyway, this boy’s efforts in tomorrow's fracas will be well worth watching.
WAR FLAG RAISED IN CHALLENGE TO IRISH GRID TEAM
Students Will Witness Last Flag Raising Of Football Season Today.
All senior men on the campus are invited to be the guests of the Alumni Association at the men’s football dinner this evening, according to a last minute decision of the Association, announced yesterday afternoon by Harold Stonier, executive secretary of the University.
The invitation was extended by the alumni when it was realized that for I the first time in history a banquet ! hall has been found that is larg<>
| enough to accommodate such a crowd.
A similar invitation to the senior | women was considered, but it was | found that another hall sucl. as that in the Shrine Temple could not ' obtained at the late hour, and the President’s Parlors will not accommodate the combined groups.
According to Mr. Stonier, the invitation is expected to tie the graduating students into the Alumni Association. Seniors at Law are to see, Glen Whitney for their complimentary tickets, those at Dental are to see j Dean Ford, and all others must call , at Mr. Stonier’s office as soon as pos-; sible.
All coaches in the Facific Coast. Conference, including Knute Rockne, Tad Jones, “Pop” Warner, Coach Zuppke, Coach Beard, and Howard Jones, will ge guests. Althougii a program of speeches has not been announced it is expected that the famed “Irisher” coach will address the assemblage.

With Stanford, California, Washington State and Jhe Oregon Aggies scheduled to play the Trojans in 1927, the annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Inter-collegiate Athletic Conference closed yesterday at the Biltmore Hotel, again leaving Southern California without a game with the University ot Washington. The Thundering Herd is also scheduled to play Notre Dame at Chicago on November 26.
Despite the fact that Southern California, Idaho and Montana are the only teams loft with only four conference games upon the calendar, all the rest having five,' the fact that November 5, Armistice Day, the 12th, and Thanksgiving Day, the 24th, have been left open for S. C. seems to indicate that a game with some middle western university will be scheduled to fill one of these dates. Ne-(Continued on Page Three)

Undergraduates May Attend Women’s Football Banquet
“We want more undergraduates to get in on the women’s football dinner!”
This was the emphatic statement of Lee Conti, general Homecoming chairman yesterday. According to Conti, one of the beat programs of the whole three days has been arranged for it, but apparently the campus women have not realized that they are privileged to go. Tickets are on sale at the Associated Students’ Store.
The principal speaker of the evening will be Coach Howard Jones. The talks have been worked out to parallel a kick-off, with Jones making the opening remarks. Mrs. Chambers will give a toast for the mothers of freshmen women, and some unusual musical features have been arranged. Madame Curl-Piana will sing and the old and new University songs will be sung by a quartet from the College of Music.

CONFLICT
This gridiron drama, that haa gripped the hearts and minds of every Trojan, and has stirred the followers of football throughout nation, promises to make of '‘conflict” a masterpiece. Conflict between two masters of the game —Coach Knute Rockne of Notre Dame and Coach Howard Jones of Southern California: conflict between Troy’s war chief, Captain Jeff Cravath and Notre Dame’s All-American center, Arthur Boer-inger: conflict between the Trojan "Devil May” Kaer and the Horseman, "Gone Again” Flanigan, All-American backs: and finally, conflict between two great elevens that will be upholding the prestige of two widely separated sections of the country.
The gods, or whoever it is that watches over football games, have smiled upon the Trojans* fifth Intersectional venture, for today finds the stage nearly set for. tomorrow's titanic struggle. Early season troubles and disappointments have all faded Into the background, and a maze of details are at last taking on some aemblanco of order.

SPECIAL FEATURES APPEAR IN WAMPUS
Three special features in the Rah! Rah! Number of the Wampus, to appear on the campus Tuesday, December 7, do their share in making it fifty per cent better than the Blue Law Number, according to Milton Booth, editor, who stated he expected it to create a sensation.
“A Strong Love,” by Evalee Powell, deals with the weakness of strong men, and is said to be the result of considerable research work.
A double page spread by Marvin Connell is the second feature, and there will be one surprise feature, which is expected to create more dfa-cussion than anything the Wampus ever published before, according to Booth.
