RECORD IS SET IN TICKET SALE FOR FINAL GAME
All Pasteboards For Notre Dame-S. C. Tilt Are Gone.
Today marks the closing of the greatest sellout for a football game in the history of Southern California. Only once before, at the Stanford game less than a month ago, was the Coliseum completly sold out before the game. With the game still more than two weeks off, all tickets are already sold.
Until noon today, students who hold activity books with numbers over 2400 may purchase tickets. The afternoon will be given over to the selling of tickets to students who have no activity books. Because of the manner in which the tickets have been taken in the last few days cf student sale, it is expected that the few tickets remaining will be gone soon after noon.
Another interesting feature of the ; present ticket sale is the reserving of all seats. In the past, about 20,-000 tickets have been placed on gen- J performance.! sa^e as rus^ seats, but for the] Irish game all tickets are reserved.
One of the important changes made J by Paul N. Marshall, manager of the j tickt sale, is the regulating of ticket s sales according to the numbers of student activity books. This system | is said to expedite the sale of tickets J and to lessen the possibility of er-
__rors.

Several changes and improvements ble from this source, have been made over the old constitution. The term of office has been extended to one year instead of one semester. It is thought that this change will give stability to the office.

Tom deGraffenreid portrays the chief male lead, that of Mr. Ritter, harrassed husband of a stage-mad wife. Allene Powers plays the part of Mrs. Ritter.
Lucille Taylor takes the part of Mrs. Duro Pampinelli. amateur director of still more amateur plays, and she is aided in her efforts by Mr. Spindler, played by John Mclntjrre, who succeeds in making a general nuisance of himself.
Nearly all of the tickets for lhe “Torchbearers” have been sold, but a few good seats are still obtainable at the Students Store at 50 and 75 cents each.

“Home again to win again” is the slogan of Homecoming Week, which will be celebrated on the Southern California campus from December 2 to 4, and will be carried out in the designs of floats entered in the Homecoming parade, according to Lee Conti, chairman of the committee in charge.
All organizations are eligible to enter a float in this parade, and cups will be awarded from the standpoints of beauty, originality, comedy and appropriateness. The name of the> organization may be used on the en- j tries.
Any groups that have not yet been j interviewed are asked to mail or phone two ideas to Everett Miller at the Sigma Chi* house or Grant La Mont at the Theta Psi house not later than Tuesday, November 23. Each group will then be notified by the committee regarding the use of the ideas suggested by them. These precautions are taken in order to avoid conflicts.
Receptions, dinners, rallies, smokers, and dances have been planned for the entertainment of the alumni and the visiting team.

We are running the answer to our second question today. We are sorry if anyone took our remarks to be in the spirit of criticizing Paul Marshall. But the response from students who have come to us to say that that was the very thing they wanted to know has justified our action. We knew that Mr. Marshall could answer the question. It was not an attempt to trap him. And now that we have it we are glad to give it our personal endorsement. Having had the thing explained to us, wre guess the arrangement is as fair as anything that could be worked out. The trouble is ! that most of us look up at the tre-j mendous size of the Coliseum and j we can see no earthly reason why I our mothers and fathers should not find a seat some place in that

We meant what we said about this not being a publicity column and Johnny Atwill knew better than to ask for space in it. Probably that is the reason why we are glad to call attention to the “Torchbearers,” the annual underclass dramatic production which is being given in Bovard Auditorium tonight. We do not ask that anyone go to see it because of dutv to his Alma Mater. But we think it will probably be a good show and we believe that,
for one touchdown, found the Vandal defense too stiff to penetrate, and were forced to win by “Butch” Meekers two place kicks.
With the exception of 12 points registered against Montana, and 30 digits in their win over the weak Idaho Ool-lege, the Vandals have failed to .produce anything so far that looks like an offense. Consequently Saturday’s tilt looms as a battle between a brilliant offensive team and a grim defensive one.
Coach Erb is claiming as his star performer, Glenn Jacoby, a light halfback who tips the scales at 154 pounds.This will not come as a surprise to Southern California football fans, as they have become accustomed to visiting teams packing along a small man with a big kick. Captain Owings at fullback is heralded as a smashing type of player who backs the line up in a dealy style. He does the punting and passing for Idaho.
The Vandals are limbering up on the Coliseum turf this afternoon in preparation for the tussel tomorrow, and are reported to be in the best of shape, despite their long train ride.

In the Southern California football cimp, located on Bovard Field, the Trojans are not taking the Idaho game too lightly. Far from it. Leaving thoughts of the Notre Dame game to the future, the men are concentrating (Continued on Page Four)
That the program planned for the visit of Dean Katherine R. Adams of Mills College during her inspection of the Southern California campus as an official of the American Association of University Women will not be a social program but will be one of a serious nature was the announcement made yesterday by Dean Mary Sinclair Crawford.
The purpose of Dean Adams’ visit to this campus is the inspection of all Southern California organizations, the result of which will determine whether or not S. C. women will be granted the privileges accorded members of.the American Association of University Women. It is because of the fact that Southern California does not have a membership in this organization that the women of this
the Notre Dame game as fairly as possible.
“Between the goal posts on each side of the field there are approximately 7500 seats. The students and band, meeting with the first consideration, receive three thousand of these.
"Second in consideration come the faculty, the general alumni association, university trustees, managers, coaches, football men and the Trojan Club. Of these, the faculty, alumni and Trojan Club receive four seats, since most of them are married and have families. The members of the alumni association and the Trojan Club have aided materially in the progress of the University and we feel that, next to the students, they should receive consideration.
“The third consideration is that of extra student tickets. Each student is permitted to purchase three tickets, one for his own use, and two in the reserved section that has been given over for this purpose.
On each side of the Coliseum, in-
campus are not given scholarship eluding those seats from the ten-preferences, full membership in uni- j yard line to the goal post’,* there are versity clubs, and other • advantages , about seventeen thousand seats, and grantedjfo women of recognized universities.

We had it in mind to say something about the Oxford debate today, but we will have to let it wait for lack of space. But that, too, should be watched by the student body. Probably all of those who read this will be unable to get tickets even though they try, but the debate is unique in its appeal and the report in the Trojan should be worth reading. We are going to have it covered by one of the varsity debaters.
We have at hand a note from Don Cameron, former student body president, now in Chicago, telling us of the growing interest there in the Notre Dame-Southern California football game. He also ehcloses a clipping about Al Behrendt, taken from a Chicago j paper. It seems that Al’s reputation as an all-around man is not limited to this campus nor to Los Angeles. Congratulations, Al!
