C. and iey should be accorded due courses.
it will be the gala week in activities on the Southern California -ampus, with practically every lo-organization, club and team |entering some form of activity on »e big program. The inter-fra-srnity council opened the week’s Festivities with its joint smoker flth the University of California,
-os Angeles, men Wednesday eve-iing. The curtain call to the entire week will come with the run-ling of the relay race tomorrow ifternoon as the last event on the »al.-S.C. track ar.d field meet in the Coliseum.
[7 he Golden Bears have suffered foss on their track and field team will be undoubtedly felt. How-it must be remembered that Trojans, too, have some top mh track material that will be rent from the meet. The mere tt that the S. C. men were de-ired ineligible earlier in the sea-docs not say that the Trojan itn did not sustain an injury.
It’ will mention hut one name, that Brice Taylor, one of the greatest rinters in the country.
♦ ♦ ♦ ‘
GOOD deal of confusion was stirred up in the offices of the ily papers on account of the manner |which the eligibility lists were han-id. A ruling among the Pacific |ast schools provides that the lists fn the hands of the other school days prior to the meet. It is gen-ilIy understood that few if any of schools conform to this ruling, thus cause for all the questioning of is eligible and who is not. Ru->rs that other men on the Calffornia »m other than Barber and Carey are Migible cannot be confirmed until California manager submits his icial entry and eligibility list at irting time tomorrow.

'HE Lookout is going to take one big leap today and burl forth a pw predictions for the benefit of the (porting fans interested. Following is the Lookout’s picking:
Trojans to win the wrestling tourna-iment.
California to take both the swimming meet and water polo contest.
The Bears-Trojans to each win a
bait game.
And the track meet. Yes. TROJANS 75, CALIFORNIA 56.
That’s a big risk to take. We
I may be all ZL’rong, but the above predictions are purely our own )pinion. Believe them or not. The *igskin Review took it upon itself predict football games last fall, got into a good deal of hot ler. IVe’ve been in quite a bit year so might as zcdl take a ie more.

ROOTING section will be conducted at the meet tomorrow aft-|oon, according to Yell King Hen-It will be the first time that of-il organized rooting will be held Trojan meet. An excellent block |2000 seats is being saved for the >jan rooters, so don’t hesitate in ling your presence.

Without a doubt the track meet is big event of the program, but don’t ;et the wrestler and swimmers lid like a little courtesy shown and. above all, *he Trojan base-squad. They play this afternoon over and help them put across rin, and do the same tomorrow -ning. Both games do not conflict any other event, so it will be easy everyone to take them in.

CALIFORNIA-SOUTHERN CAL. VIE FOR HONORS ON COLISEUM FIELD
California Athletes Arrive in South Today; Coach Cromwell Grooms Men for Coming Events; North’s In-eligibles Boost Trojans as Victors.
Intercollegiate rivals, lacking only the glamour of age, meet tomorrow afternoon in the Los Angeles Coliseum. The Trojans from Southern California, and the Golden Bears from California clash in a battle of giants on the cinder track and green field. Two teams, i boasting the cream of the Western athletes, both acknowledged to TODAY b e the best on the coast, provide the first intercollegiate conference
—--I duel of the season.
Game Begins At Noon To The Trojans are favorites to win the meet. They have been Allow Time For Fans To picked before, but California has won. Only twice in the history of See Track Events.	the schools have the Trojans emerged victorious. That was back in

Golden Bears have regularly taken from Berkeley, is to be on exhibition j honors, sometimes by overwhelming at Bovard Field this afternoon at 3 I scores, sometimes by scant margins, and again at lunch time tomorrow, j But always it has been a stirring bat-starting at 12 sharp.

two, they are quite capable of doing so.
California, with a 8-5 win over Crawford’s Trojan nine, comes south noted chiefly for their heavy hitting propensities, while in Captain Hobbs Adams, Tony Galindo and the rest of the Cardinal and Gold artillery they will face some really great stick | weilders. The S. C. leader was the only player to connect safely with any of Bud Teachout’s offerings in the Oxy same last Tuesd&y, being credited with two hits out of four trips to the plate.
Captain Lloynd of the Bears is not only a great player behind the bat, but hits ’em far and often. According to eyewitnesses of the northern struggle, his single in the ninth provided the punch that won the game.. He will be playing close to home when he steps out on Bovard Field, having starred on the Manual Arts diamond for several years before articulating to Berkeley. He captained the Artisans when Vic Orsatti, star Trojan third sacker, was a Sophomore.
Jimmy Dixon and Thatcher of football fame are sure to be in the lineup. The former plays outfield, and is particularly effective at bat. Thatcher is considered the classiest infielder on the squad, playing first base in peerless style. He also packs a wallop with the willow. Tait at third is a steady, consistent player though not the flashy type of Orsatti.
Sam Crawford will probably start Guischard on the mound, with l.*ra-netta and Sahlberg ready for duty at any time. Larry went great against Occidental and may work the game. He is practically sure to start one of the contests.

Barber, considered the new collegiate sprint king of the Pacific Coast, was expected to furnish some thrills when he hooked up with the Trojan sprinters, Ed House, Herschell Smith, and Johnny Parsons. This trio promised to be Barber’s only strong west-continued on Page Four)

TROJAN SWIMMERS CONCEDED EQUAL CHANCE WITH CAL.
Blue and Gold Mermen Suffered Defeat At Hands of Stanford: S. C. Team is Strong.
Conceded more than an even chance of turning in a victory, Coach Fred Cady’s Trojan swimmers tangle with the California mermen in the first splash event of the year. The meet is scheduled for this evening at 8 o’clock sharp and is to be immediately followed by the water polo game. Both affairs will be staged in the spacious Los Angeles Athletic Club swimming pool.
The Bear splashmen have had a more or less disastrous season, re-cently suffering an ignonimous defeat to Stanford by the overwhelming score of 51 to 11. The Bruins scored but two second places, the rest of the points being accounted for in thirds.

Yell - Leaders’ Convention and Extravaganza Round Out Busy Week-end.
BY JOHN SCOTT
Leading off with a gigantic rally this morning at 10 o’clock, the first Spring Homecoming program will swing into action. S. C. will welcome the Californians as guests in as strenuous a week end I as has been seen on this campus | for some time, and will meet the ! northern school in five contests Friday and Saturday.
The track meet between Bruin and Trojan Saturday afternoon holds probably the main interest, although the two baseball games, one Friday afternoon and the oth*»r Saturday morning, will run the track affair a close race. Twenty thousand persons will greet the athletes Saturday p. m. in a meet scheduled to thrill the most blase spectator. All announcements of eligibility, etc., will only serve to raise interest to a higher pitch. Both schools are rated as winners, northern backers stoutly maintaining California’s superiority and southern rooters answering in defiance.
The two baseball games will steal the show before the track meet. With one game won, 8-5, California will strive to make the count three games won and none lost, while Southern California is all primed to even the count and add an extra game as good measure. Bovard Field will b© the scene of the two conflicts, the first starting promptly at 3 o’clock and the second at 12 o’clock Saturday morning.
Not to be outdone by the other two sports, Bear and Trojan paddlers will settle differences at 8:30 Friday evening. Both teams are primed to win swimming honors for their Alma Mater, and the result will be a thrilling meet for those who are swimmingly inclined. The L. A. A. C. pool will be the scene of this activity. Water polo, one of the hardest of games, will follow the swimming meet.
In addition to the athletic event there will be a high school yell kings’ convention at Southern California today. An all-day entertainment has been arranged for the boys with the leather lungs, the convention being under the direct supervision of Burdette Henney, S. C. yell king, and his two assistants, Woodford and Lewis. The men will register early today and will hear speeches from Harold Stonier, Dean Cromwell, Don Cameron, Lee Conti, Burke Long and Sam Gates.
The Extravaganza, with one sue cessful performance over, will again be presented tonight. Leads are bein& taken by Josephine Campbell, Albert McGreil and Gabrielle “Gogo’’ Belanger. The Bhow promises to even surpass the colorful presentation given last evening.
