STRENGTH OF STANFORD STILL UNKNOWN QUALITY
Early Season Games Disappoint Followers of Cards; Red Shirts Are Unimpressive In Every Start This Year.
By JAMES L. ADAMS Sport Editor Stanford Daily
Stanford University, Oct. 26—After a preliminary season, featured only by a series of unimpressive showings, the Stanford varsity meets the finished Trojan eleven, still very much an unknown quality even to close followers of the Card team.
GLIMPSE OF POWER	♦ -
In every game played this year the	A IffO
HONOR TEAMS -WITH CARNIVAL AFTER GAME
Melson To Entertain at Biltmore Dance; Will Give Notre Dame Tickets.
Red Shirts have given Just a glimpse of the power that was named a quality of this year’s team. Against Nevada and Oregon in the last two games played, Warner’s men were trailing at the half time only to come back in the last half, to run up a number of touchdowns and win the game. The Olympic Club gave them a bad scare early in the season and the Cards only won by a touchdown gained three minutes before the game ended.
Yet in spite of their poor showing to date the Cards are picked to give the Trojans the big test of the year merely on basis of the power of which only a hint has been given. Practice this week has shown the Cardinals to still be a ragged team, but followers have seen more than ever, a smooth running machine that lies just below the surface of a little more polish. If this week of hard drill has worn down that surface, football fans will see for the first time Saturday the Stanford team working as it should work.
RED SHIRTS WORK "Pop" Warner has been hard at his charges all week drilling them in deft nse for the Trojan aerial and flank attacks. There has ben an atmosphere of earnestness at the practice field this week that promises improvement in the team's playing
The backfield has been shifted so much this year that to pick a first string would be out of the question and Warner may start any of a number of men for each back job. At the halves either Murphy or Hyland will get the call for the right half and either Bogue. Hill, or Sims for the left. Hoffman has the edge over all other candidates for full and Millage or Post will start at the signal calling job. Post received an injury to his knee in the Oregon game that may keep him out of the contest Saturday.
“MIKE" MURPHY Murphy, it will be remembered, is the husky little Irishman who ran through the entire U. S. C. team to a touchdown last year, after catching a punt. Hyland is the speediest back in the outfit and has improved greatly since the start of the season. Bogue showed his first class of the season last Saturday and is capable of a good game at half, possessing both weight and speed. Although (Continued on Page Three)

Honoring members of the Stanford
and Southern California varsities, and inviting students from the northern University, the Trojan Knights and Amazons are fostering a monstrous Hallowe’en Carnival at the Biltmore Hotel Saturday evening, according to John Bailey, publicity manager.
Ted Maguiness' “Footwarmers,” “the band ,that makes the old young,” will provide music for the dance, ac cording to Bill Stewart, chairman of music committee. The band consist* of ten pieces and is the one which formerly played at the Green Mill, under the leadership of Roy Ingram.
Further entertainment will be furnished by Charlie Melson after his engagement at the Westlake Theatre, and is expected to add zest to the hilarity of the evening.
“If we win the game, come and celebrate; if we lose, come and drown your sorrows in a riot of joy,” say the Knights and Amazons. It is an all-University dance and is also open to visitors from Stanford, who may attend the Carnival under the same conditions as the S. C. students, stated Bailey.
Tickets are limited to 400 and may be obtained at the Student Body store or at the various fraternity houses. The price is $2.50, and according tc those in charge of the sale, the ducats are going fast and furious.
One of the features of the evening will be the dropping of numerous balloons among which will be one of
unusually large dimensions. The lucky person who grabs this special balloon will receive two complimentary tickets to the Notre Dame football game on December 4.
Those in charge of the dance wish to emphasize the fact that the dance is to be strictly informal, and sport attire will be correct for the evening.
BAND APPRECIATES FINE RECEPTION
“I want the student body to know how much the members of the band ■ appreciate the way in which they were received at the game last Saturday.” stated Bill Ward, manager of the Trojan Band yesterday. “It was the first time that some of the fel-; lows had appeared in competition with another college band, and they ( were just a little uncertain. However, the burst of applause from the ; S. C. rooting section, as the band I marched into view imbued the men with pep which lasted throughout the 1 entire came.”
Tonight, at the rally which will | precede the Stanford game, the ban! will make its appearance to accompany the students in their singing. In addition to this, the band will introduce several new Trojan songs.
which, in the future, will be included in the list of Southern California
songs.
The stunts which the band will perform at the game on Saturday are to differ from anything hitherto presented, according to Ward. It is expected that about one hundred ai^d thirty men will take part in the presentation.
At the present time the band is rehearsing for a program to be given in a large auditorium in the city, sometime in January. The men are working up many new overtures and symphonies for this occasion.
Yesterday, twelve members of the band formed the orchestra which played for the alumnae reception at the Hotel Alexandria.
TROJANS FACE CARDS IN EPIC GRID BATTLE
Victory Will Give Winner Lead in Pacific Coast Conference Race; Coliseum To Be Packed For Game.
By “DEKE’ HOULGATE
Back from a sumptuous feast of Bear meat, the Southern California Trojan prepares for another hour of action, this tijjie a game of cards; for tomorrow afternoon in the great Coliseum, the sons of Troy match brain and brawn for sixty minutes with the Stanford Cards in a football battle that promises to be a gridiron epic. Ancient rivalry and a fight for leadership in the Pacific Coast Conference have stirred mild interest into tense excitement—an excitement that has melted away every one of the 80,000 reserved seats the

Welcome Stanford!
Southern California extends its heartiest greetings and welcome to the sons and daughters of Stanford University. All day today, and during the early hours of tomorrow morning, students, faculty members and alumni of the Palo Alto institution of learning will be our guests for the weekend. Our campus, fraternity and sorority houses are all planning on welcoming you. The entire camp of Troy bids you welcome, Stanford.
* '* •
While S. C. may not have the natural campus of which Stanford is proud, the Quad, or the Memorial chapel, we feel that Stanford will not find hospitality lacking on the part of any Troian. Our spirit is one of close friendship, and an attitude that football games are won fairly and squarely on the gridiron. Whatever happens during the sixty minutes of play rests with the team, and Southern California voices an opinion that the Cardinals will find the' same spirit prevailing that existed last year. Athletic competition between Stanford and Southern California is reaching forth to a new area, one in which sportsmanship shall prevail at all times.

First Convention of Its Kind Meets at Southern California Today and Tomorrow.
In view of the fact that athletic
contests of today are thrusting great responsibilities upon the shoulders of the Yell King and his rooting section, Burdette Henney has called a two-day convention of University and College Yell Kings, to be held on the S. C. campus today and tomorrow, the first of its kind in the United States.
All accommodations will be arranged for* the visiting yell leaders during the convention, and traveling j expenses will be the only expenses j incurred by the trip. They will also be guests of Henney at the Stanford game on Saturday.
“I feel that the psychological moment has arrived for such a convention, and that all of us will profit from it,” stated Henney, “and I hope all the yell leaders may become members of the Pacific' Coast University Yell King’s Association.”
Twenty yell kings from universities and colleges on the .Pacific coast will register at the Administration Building at 9:30 this morning. They will have lunch in the red room oi the L. A. Athletic Club at noon, and the main meeting of the convention will be held there immediately following the luncheon. At 4:30 the yell kings will have a swim in the club pool.
Friday evening at six the representatives will have dinner at the Kappa Alpha house.

GREEKS WELCOME STANFORDITES
Troy is preparing for her role of host to 1.500 sons of Stanford who are scheduled to arrive late this afternoon Every possible means of making the sojourn of the visitors at Southern California a pleasant one will be used by the many campus organizations which are assisting in the entertainment.
The Cardinal football team arrived in Los Angeles early this morning, and will engage in secret practice at the Rose Bowl this afternoon. It is expected that the team will spend the night at the Hotel Vista Del Arroya.
A special Stanford train will arrive at the Southern Pacific station this ■ morning, carrying 600 rooteis. Beforp the blowing of the whistle Saturday the largest Stanford rooting section of any game played with Southern California in the Coliseum will have
assembled.
The majority of the team is to be entertained by the Southern California sororities and fraternities. Stanford fraternity men and wom^i will be entertained at lunch Saturday before the game by their chapters on the S. C. campus.
Houses on the campus will furnish dates for the Stanford men at the big Amazon Trojan Knight dance which will be held Saturday evening at the Biltmore Hotel. Rumor has it that the Cardinals will not be present at the dance if they lose the game. However, Troy is working under the belief that Stanford will be present at the dance regardless of the outcome of the game and is doing everything possible to show them a good time, according to the two host organizations.
