Historic Mission of St. Claire Destroyed; Students Save Crucifix
BY MARJORIE HULL
Five buildings of the University of Santa Clara, including the historic St. Claire mission church containing priceless relics and records were destroyed in a fire of unknown origini early yesterday morning.
The fire broke out at 7 a. m. and spread with such intensity that the volunteer fire fighters concentrated their efforts toward saving the historical and religious objects of value ln the old church. The crucifix was rescued at the peril of the lives of the priest* and students who fought their way through smoke and heat to save it. The original mission paintings of the Trinity and the early Catholic saints were all destroyed.
Three San Jose firemen, aided by professors and students, put up a losing fight during which the professor’s dormitory and the students’ dormitory were completely destroyed.
The law library, with its valuable collection of rare volumes was destroyed, only a few books being saved by students, while the old Spanish chimes were melted by the heat
The newer part of the campus with its more substantial buildings was saved only after a hard fight. Students in the infirmary were carried to safety by fellow students as soon as the fire broke out.
This makes the third time that the St. Claire mission has been destroyed. The original building, erected in 1777 was destroyed by flood and the second building was completely wrecked by an earthquake in 1912.
Charlie Melson will provide entertainment and Ted Maguiness’ “Foot-warmers”—“the band that makes the old young”—will provide the music for the Trojan Hallowe’en Carnival which will be held in the Biltmore Hotel after the Stanford-S. C. game on October 30. Such was the announcement made yesterday by John Bailey, publicity manager.
Melson is an inimitable entertainer, according to Bailey, and has consented to appear at the carnival after
his performance at Westlake Theater.
Maguiness is a well known musician who is now playing in Charlie Melson’s band. His “Footwarmers” is a ten piece band, and is composed of prominent musicians.
The number of tickets sold for the carnival, which is being sponsored by the Trojan Knights and Amazons, has been limited to four hundred. They may be secured at the Students’ Store for $2.50 each.

WITZEL’S CAMPUS STUDIO NOW READY
Seniors To Find Their Appofnt-ments Listed in Trojan Every Day.
Seniors must have their pictures taken for the 1927 El Rodeo before November 10, according to the announcement of Ralph Holly, editor. After that date the seniors will have to go to the down town studio of Witzel. The campus studio is located hi the El Rodeo office above the bookstore and the hours are 9:00 to 4:30. on any school day.
Lists of those scheduled to have their pictures taken will be printed in the Trojan showing the day that appointments are being made for seniors. If students’ names do not appear in the list and they expect to graduate in February or June they may report any time for their sitting. Caps and gowns necessary ror the picture will be furnished at the studio.
Anyone unable to meet his appointment should notify the El Rodeo or-fice. Law seniors are asked to report any convenient time before November 10.
In asking the co-operation of the student body, the editorial office of the publication makes the following announcement: "A great many were disappointed in the photography ia the 1926 El Rodeo, and, if students come early and keep their appointments this year we will guarantee good reproductions, as Witzel has sent one of their best operators to the campus.”
“The campus studio is as well equipped as the down town studio,” says Holly. “Witzel is making a special offer of one half price to those students who order pictures for their own use.”
EXCURSION IS UNIFYING SAYS OEAN
Dean Crawford Is Pleased With Fine Spirit of Students Aboard Trojan Special.
That the train trip to Berkeley was a great success was the opinion expressed yesterday by Dean Mary Sinclair Crawford, one of the chaperones of the excursion.
The success of the trip was largely due to the management by the Trojan Knights and Amazons, according to Dean Crawford. There were a few non-university people on the train and the standard of conduct of some of these people was not as high as the university standard, stated the Dean.
“An experience liie the train trip
gives us unity,” said Dean Crawford. “I was especially impressed with the fine feeling of good fellowship; everyone did everything possible for everyone else. I enjoyed being part oi the S. C. life on the train.”
Dean Crawford believes, with other S. C. people, that we ow-. an especial vote of thanks to Harry Kinch, the Southern Pacific representative who made the trip both ways on the train, and who did everything possible to make things enjoyable, even to holding up the train at Santa Barbara so that the band and students could march down the main street and give their songs and yells.

Today there appears in place of “The Old Trojan’s Column’ a new column under the head of “The Gates of Troy." We are writing this on account of the absence of George Jordan from the campus this week. He is attending the Pacific Intercollegiate Press Association Convention which is being held at Reno, Nevada on the 27th and 28th of this month. Jordan represents the University of Southern California at this important parley in an effort to strengthen the bonds of friendship between the various college publications on the coast and to gather information which will aid in the making of a better
U. S. C., was guest of the Stanford student body yesterday. He will return to the Southern California campus on Tuesday.
Tallman appeared before the California student body last Friday. His trip was with the object of establishing more friendly relations between the two colleges.
According to Tallman, his reception at California was all that could ne desired. “I found the Bears very friendly,” he announced. "I was cordially received, and all efforts were made by the students and administration to make my visit a pleasant
In George Jordan the university has an editor that stands for the highest type of clean, progressive journalism. A man that is a credit not only to the Trojan, but to the great university which he represents. In view of these facts, his caption will not be used, since the column which has been appearing under his name carries a personal twist, which we believe, can be best written bv himself.

Intercollegiate Press Convention which is to be held on October 27-28. George Jordan, editor of the Dally Trojan, is the Southern California representative at the convention. He will return to the campus Friday.
According to a communication re ceived from Ernest L Inwood, editor-in-chief of the University of Nevada Sagebrush, its official student publication, every effort will be spent to make the coming convention a great success.
“A motor trip will be the main
item of entertainment,” states Inwood. “The trip will be to Virginia City, one time home of Mark Twain, and the mining center where some seven hundred millions in gold and silver has been mined since the Civil War. A visit to the State prison will be made, nad members of the Convention will be permitted to view the lethal death cell, the only one in existence.

was the spirit the team had, when they departed for the California game. “This is a business trip, and we only have one thing to accomplish in traveling to Cal,” was the spirit in the heart and mind of every individual on the squad. That spirit is bound to win football games in the future as it has in the past. No game is won before it is played and overconfidence has spelled the downfall of numerous championship teams. The team has the right frame of mind, and in the weeks to come each student of this university must stand back of the Trojan varsity, win or lose.

While we are on the subject of the great migration to Berkeley, which took place over the last week end, it seems that something ought to be said about those loyal and strong-hearted members of the student body who beat their way to Cal on foot. A large number of stout-hearted youths got to California in time to cheer Southern California on to a well-earned victory, and returned in time to attend Monday classes. While the vivid color of thousands going by train, boat and by machine, stands out as one of the most colorful events in the annals of university history, it was the efforts of certain individuals to get to the game and do their bit in serving this university. They wore smiles that no campaign can possibly create, for they were living and breathing a spirit of a grand, noble cause.

TORCH-BEARERS IS UNDERCLASS PLAY
George Kelly Play Satirizing
Little Theater Movement Is
Chosen for Play Production.
“The Torch-Bearers,” by George Kelly, has finally been chosen as the underclass play. Miss Hanna, who is directing the production, states that she is more than satisfied with the choice.
“Now that we have just started a Little Theater movement on our campus, it seems very appropriate that we should present the best play yet written, satirizing the Little Theater." Such was the response of the director when asked for her opinion.
“The Torch-Bearers” was first presented at the Vanderbilt Theater, New York City, on the evening of August 29th, 1922. From reports of the New York papers, a pa«ked house of enthusiastic theater-goers were in grave danger of rolling off their seats in hysteria beoause of the screamingly ludicrous situations portrayed.
If Kenneth MacGowan, one of New York City’s most prominent producers, is to be believed, “The Torch-Bearers” is the most complete combination of wit, satire and art that has been seen on Broadway i^ the last three >ears. Its prosperous run in New York promises to make it one of the most popular stock and amateur players’ productions for many years to come.
Virgil Pinkley, managing editor of the Daily Trojan, is acting editor this week while George Jordan, editor-in-chief, is attending the Pacific Coast! Intercollegiate Press Convention at Reno, Nevada.
In editing the paper this week, Pinkley will make the assignments as

him. Everybody knows how Laraneta cut loose for a 53-yard run once, and time and again smashed and whirled his way through the Beai defense. Everybody knows how Captain Jeff Cravath. the greatest cente» on the Coast, probably the greatest in the country, limped around on hia cruelly injured leg. and outplayed Andy Miller, recovering fumbles, battering holes through the line, and stopping the Bruin runners ln their tracks. Everybody knows how Lloyfl Thomas, the unknown sophomore, substituted for Morley Drury and played as brilliant a game as was ever seen on the California field. Everybody knows how Drury, with tears streaming from his eyes because of the injury which prevented him from playing, tossed his crutches into the air and ran like Charlie Borah when the Trojans punched over their first touchdown. Everybody knows how Heiser, Badgro, Behrendt, Hibbs, Cox, Scheving, Gorrell, Taylor, and the rest of the Herd smashed and bulled its way about the field, while the once .savage Bear whimpered and scurried for cover.
It’s an old tale now. but it grows more glorious with the retelling. It’s an heroic epic of valor, of courage and of a grim determination that brooked no opposition.
ON DEFENSIVE From the very first the Bears were on the defensive. Smashing drives' by Kaer, Laraneta and Thomas put the Bruins on the defensive deep in their own territory. Fighting desperately, as only the Bears can fight, they staved off a Trojan touchdown, but it was merely postponing the inevitable. The Bear offensive was opened up. 'Marcus ran around end for 18 yards. It was the only first down the Bears made in the entire game. The next California attempt was smothered. Runners were dropped in their tracks or stopped on the line of scrimmage. Clymer bocted (Continued on Page Four)
