After Friday, all tickets will be placed on general sale.
Characterized by forty entrants, tryouts for the debate squad held last Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, resulted in the choice of fifteen men for the varsity and eight for the frosh group, according to the judges, Coach Alan Nichols and Art Syvertson, captain.
Arthur Syvertson, William B. Henley (manager), William Berger, Mel-drim Burrill, Frank Colston, Marion Garrison, Sam Gates, Ellwood Harmon, J. Leo Harris, Stanley Hopper, Edwin Jefferson, George Lawrence, Edna W. Leonard Jr., Virgil Pinkley, and Charles Wright were selected for the varsity debate squad, i
The freshman squad chosen includes Leo Adams, Murlin R. Lawler,
The plan, as outlined by Paul Marshall, ticket manager, calls for four equal divisions of the student mixed section tickets. Tickets from each division will be sold only on their specified days. Thus, students buying tickets Thursday will have as equal a chance of getting choice seats as those purchasing theirs today.
Each student will be allowed one student rooting ticket and two in the mixed section. Instructions will be found elsewhere in the Trojan.
The precautions against scalping at the Notre Dame game will be even more strict than at the Stanford game, when many were apprehended for that misdemeanor.

A man found himself at a teetotal banquet. He suffered patiently until dessert arrived, when a neighbor pressed him to have some grapes.
“No, thank you,” he growled; “I don’t take my wine in pills.”

S. C. Chess Champion Ties in Tournament With Best Cal. Player
Mugridge, Champion of Los Angeles, Helps In Increasing Winning Score Against San Francisco.
Represented by Donald H. Mug-iTdge, champion chess player of Los Angeles for 1925, the University of Southern California did its part in the recent chess tournament in which Los Angeles defeated San Francisco by a large score.
According to those present, the game between Donald Mugridge and R. Hultgren, said by many to be tne outstanding players of their respective teams, turned out to be the classic of the evening, in spite of the fact that their individual scores were finally tied. Besides representing San Francisco in an official way, R. Hulgren unofficially represented tne University of California, of which he is the leading chess player.
The meet was held last Saturday evening in San Luis Obispo, and the final score 7.5 to 4.5 in favor of Los Angeles.
Lome Matheson, Sam Newman, Marvin Pilcher, Shields Maxwell, Don Stoner, and Clifford Weimer.
Try-outs were in the form of miniature debates with speeches limited to five minutes and rebuttals to three on the question, “Resolved: Light wines and beer should be legalized.” Old members were required to tryout this year as well as those hoping to make the squad for this year.
A new system has* been inaugurated whereby the frosh squad will act independently of the regular varsity group. A schedule of contests with junior colleges and high schools will probably be arranged for them, according to a statement issued from the debate office.

By these lines we send greetings to the Trojans abroad. Dean Hunt and Dr. Hill will leave today for their trip around the world. We wish we could go with them as they drop in on the old Trojans in the different parts of the world. Since we can t we send them our greetings by this paper. which we hope the travelers will be kind enough to take with them to show that we at home never forget a Trojan. Once a Southern California man, always a Southern California man. Greetings, Trojans!
It has come to our attention that some of the Trojan’s readers have criticized Warren Bovard for “calling the police to arrest the students” for traffic violations. We are printing a letter of his to the Daily Trojan today and in justice to him we ask that it be read by any who have that criticism to make. We will stand back of what he says in it.
With the announcement of the varsity debate squad for the year we are reminded of the Oxford debate, which takes place Monday evening. The original team which was to have met the Englishmen was to have been composed of Art Syvertson, Bill Berger, and Leland Tallman. The dropping out of Tallman is too bad. We would like to have seen him crown his debate career on our campus with that meeting. Furthermore, there is no use denying that he is a strong man on any team. With his dropping out comes a big responsibility to Adna Leonard, that of working into the team in about a week and a half. We are watching you, Ad, to see how you meet it.
At the risk of endangering some personal friendships we are going to state our policy today with regard to the material in this column. On a number of occasions campus leaders have come to us for help in putting over their various projects on the campus, the activities with whose destinies they have been entrusted. In each case we have done our best in the way of making their activities and wants known. In some cases we have given them a “boost’’ in this column because we believed that the thing sponsored was vital to the campus. But this is not an advertising column. We do not like to be asked for space in it. No advertiser can buy space in it and we insist upon making it strictly editorial, which means that we try to set forth opinions because we are interested in them or believe that the special attention of the campus should be called to some particular phase which is not brought out in the news story. But to sanction the idea that no news story is complete of itself without additional comment here is to put a lower value on the news columns than we intend to allow. We throw it out that those organizations who must have their functions so advertised have the fact brought to our attention SUBTLY. Having made this clear, we shall be more free, to decline future “suggestions.”
This is not to censure those who have asked for space in the past. We do not blame them nor quarrel with them. We only call attention to a peculiar turn of mind of the editor which has been brought to light by some of the requests.

This year, much the same plan is to be followed, with both sororities and fraternities taking part.
An important feature of the dance to be held in the Shrine Auditorium on Friday night, December 3, will be the presence of Eddie Peabody and his orchestra which will furnish the music for dancing.
