THE varsity baseball squad will play the Stanford varsity this afternoon in their final game of a three-game series. It was not long ago that it was an impossibility to attract more than fifty students to a baseball game, but times have changed somewhat and 900 students saw the Trojans and Golden Bears last Saturday and a thousand are expected to witness this afternoon’s fracas.
♦ ♦ ♦
A win today for the Trojan team will mean that they have a chance to land in a tie with the Stanford and California squads providing the series between the latter two teams goes to the Cardinals.
• • •
Some good support has been given the baseball squad so far this season. They have only been handicapped through inadequate facilities, to which can be attributed some of the discontent shown earlier in the season by the squad— The ball club has taken on a new life, Coach Crawford is getting ihe best possible results from his men, and a championship in baseball •does not seem far off... Practically very man on this year’s squad will .e back for competition in 1926 and Lbat should be the Trojans’ banner •ear on the diamond.

S. C. NINE IN CLASH WITH CARDS TODAY
Trojans Meet Stanford in Last and Deciding Game of Series.
Troy’s Cardinal and Gold baseball nine take the Bovard Field diamond at 2:30 this afternoon in the last and deciding game of the series with Stanford. Some weeks ago. Crawford’s men invaded the north, stopping at the “Farm” long enough to split two games with the Cards.

There will be many students who will take a trip to various parts of the state, why wouldn't it be a good idea if they managed to be in Stanford on the day of the Trojan-Cardinal meet? The team would appreciate some support away from home as well as in the Los Angeles Coliseum. The least a majority of us could do would be to drop the boys a telegram a few hours before the meet.

STANFORD TRACK STARS TO GIVE S. C. BIG BATTLE
Templeton and Cromwell Have Equal Chance of Leading Winning Team in April 3 Clash.
BY DEKE HOULGATE
Sturdy Sons of Southern California and Stanford meet Saturday, April 3, to definitely settle for the 1926 season the Pacific Coast dual meet title. The affair, which is to be held at the Card Farm in Palo Alto, will be a real drama of track and field, carrying with it national importance of great significance.
Co^ch Dean Cromwell will match wits with one of the country’s youngest and best known track mentors when he pits his strategy against that of “Dink” Templeton. The Stanford coach has developed such athletes as> Hartrandt, Hanner, Liestner and Kirksey, while “Smiling” Dean, should he forsake his modest attitude, could cite more world-famous stars developed under his system than produced by the united continents of Europe and Australia.
All events should find both teams strong, with Troy having an edge in the sprints, hurdles, weights and pole vault, and Stanford countering with strength in the middle distances, jumps, javelin and relay. The mile and two-mile find both teams entering strong runners.
Captain Bud Houser, with his fine showing in the weights, is expected to take his customary ten points, with the possibility in the offing of his cracking some records. Bill Richardson, Card leader, may find the speed of Percy Niersbach too hot for him in the half mile run, which, at all events, looms as the banner race of the afternoon.
The loss of Ross Nichols, the Card’s best bet in the hurdles, w^as somewhat neutralized last Saturday when Stever, Leighton Dye’s great running mate, revived an ancient muscle Injury.
The meet may need the relay as a deciding factor and if this develops, Cromwell’s quartet of fresh runners will have an equal chance against Stanford’s faster, but harder worked four.

Want Names Of Noted Trojans For Who’s Who
Dean Waugh Asks For Lists of Fifty Names of Nationally Known S. C. Students.
Wanted—More names of prominent Trojans. This is the call from the office of Dean Karl T. Waugh of Liberal Arts, who is in charge of the se* lection of 50 distinctive students of the University of Southern California, whose names are to be included in “Prominent Collegians — 192G,” a Who’s Who of well known college students of schools all over the United States.
Dean Waugh prefers that a complete list of fifty names be submitted, but will welcome any shorter list also which may help in the final selection. Any student or member of the faculty may hand in his choice. The names wanted are those of sfcidents who are nationally known rather than who are prominent on the campus only, such as writers for school publications who have had their work reprinted in off-campus papers and magazines, popular radio singers, nationally known athletes and others whose fame has extended beyond Troy.
Dean Waugh asks that the lists be submitted today, if possible, as ‘‘Prominent Collegians—1926” desires the names early enough so that the book can be off the press by May 7th.
SELECT CAST FOR SHOWING TEMPEST
Keen competition and indecision as to whether a man or woman would be given the role of Caliban were the main features of tryouts for ‘‘The Tempest,” annual commencement play, which came to a close Wednes* day with the choice of a tentative cast.
The players are, Alonso. Weseley Grissinger; Sebastian, Webster Hayne; Prospero, Joe Sauers; Antonio, Miss Elizabeth Alexander; Ferdinand, Eddie Blaine; Gonzalo, Walter Outler; Adria, Melvin Cytron; Francisco, I>afayette Tayler; Caliban, Knneth Sampson or Miss Julia Miller; Trinculo, Miss Mary Ella Brooks; Stephano, Sherri!

FOR FIRST MEET WITH COLUMBIA
Yearling Rifle Club Starts Season Saturday with Eastern College; Make Good Scores.
Southern California’s Frosh rifle team will engage in the first intercollegiate telegraphic match in the history of the institution when filing is commenced at 7:30 p. m. (10:30 p. m. Eastern time), Saturday, March 26, in the two-hour meet with the University of Columbia.
Signed targets have been exchanged with Columbia and telegrams will be exchanged announcing the final scores one hour after the shooting is over. These targets will then be returned by mail for possible corrections.
Many hours are put in by each Yearling in the practice shoots that are held and some good scores that have been made by the members or the Frosh teams are:
Conrad, 95-97-96; Fernandez, 95-95-96; Boiler, 95-95-95; Felton, 99-99-98, and Twombly, 96-97-97.
It is expected, however, that Columbia will defeat S. C. by a narrow margin as that team has been in practice for a year and should run up a mark of 485 or 490 out of a possible 500.
Varsity and Frosh schedules proper will commence April 15 and extend through May. in which period six matches will take place. Competition should be especially keen between S. C. and Stanford, California and the College of the City of New York. A record has been established by the College of the City of New' York in winning the Metropolitan championship of the East with a perfect score of 500 out of a possible 500 in five consecutive matches.

Starting off with a baseball rally and a short program, today’s assent* bly will be featured by an intercollegiate debate with the University of Arizona. This will be the second round of the Pacific Southwest Debate League, composed of New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California. S. C. defeated New Mexico in the first round about three weeks ago, when Brennan and Leonard won by a 3 to 0 decision. Victory today would mean another championship for Southern California.
The team to appear on the platform for S. C. will be William Berger and Leland Tallman. Berger is a former star debater for the Southern Branch and is now attending the S. C. Law School. He was on the team which met Stanford last month. Tallman is now ln his second year on the squad and has participated in a number of contests. He is president of Delta Sigma Rho, national honorary debating fraternity, and is considered one of the best platform men on the squad.
On the Arizona team will be George Jentry and Wiley Peterson. Jentry is an experienced man and met Ned Lewis and Bill Barber in debate last year. Peterson is new on the team, but is rated as an excellent speaker.
“Resolved, That war shall be declared only by a direct vote of the people, except in cases of invasion or rebellion” is the question that is to be threshed out today. The local forensic artists are to uphold the affirmative, while the orators from Arizona will maintain the negative. Thia question has formed the basis fof many verbal battles during the present season and those who are familiar with the question predict that in trying to find a way to secure peace, the speaker will stage a hotly contested battle.

Coach Crawford of the baseball team is scheduled to make a rally talk preceding the debate. An attempt is also being made to secure
