PLAN TOUR OF ORIENT
BERKELEY, Calif., Feb. 21.—(P. I. P.)—The University of California baseball team will tour Japan during May and June for a series of baseball games with Oriental universities.
On the return trip they will stop over at the Hawaiian Islands for a series.
EPORTS current in sporting circles during the past few ys in regard to the eligibility some of Southern California’s ck and fiield stars, are entirely founded, according to officials, very year prior to the opening otball game, track meet or what ot someone circulates rumors iat certain stars on the respec-ve squads are ineligible. This nly casts a good deal of uncer-inty on the men and the coaches ]d creates an undesirable feel-g on the campus as a whole.
• • •
The eligibility committee alone ould be the one to make such an an-uncement. Students should not lace too much faith in the reports of e men ineligible. The truth will be nown within a few days, but regard-ss of what may happen to the track uad, Coach Dean Cromwell has enty and more material out there ith which to turn out another I. C. ur A championship squad.

AM GATES and Art Syvertson, returning from Stanford University, ere they participated in the Stan-rd-Southern California debate Wed-sday, have brought back a world of atse for the Cardinal campus and dents. According to Gates, the uthern California representatives re accorded royal treatment. Some spectators attended the Stanford bate at Palo Aito and the manage-nt expressed their regret that the wd was so small.

The following night the same :wo schools debated in Bovard uditorium before an attendance f not more than 125 people. If he Stanford management was sor-for not having more than 600, he Southern California manage-ent was shamed. Debate should lay as important a part fn colle-liate life as other activities. For-ensics should draw large crowds, at least there should be more than

a mere handful of students vitally interested in problems such as are discussed at the debates.

Tomorrow night the University of tish Columbia will meet the S. C. b&ters in the first international de te this season. There is no reason iy Bovard Auditorium should not aw a capacity crowd to this inter tional affair. There are about 1200 tivity books on the campus that will honored at the door if presented, y not put the books to use?
It is doubtful that the Stanford deters returned to their campus with good impression of Southern Cali nia, when only 125 people turn out such an event.

CELEBRATE ANNOUNCE DRAMA WEEK 8 WINNERS
IN CONTEST
Showing remarkable early season form, the Trojan track squad did the expected in crushing the Occidental spike artists in the first meet of the local season at the Coliseum Saturday. The final count read 107 to 33.
The fans who gathered to witness the opening of cinderpath festivities of the year saw some tight and close races and despite the lop-sided score, the meet was far from being a mere show-off of tne Trojans.
Les Heilman set a new University of Southern California mark in the mile run, the first race of the day, when he nosed out Ralph Shawhan in the fast time of 4 minutes and 29 seconds. The former record, made by Linton Smith against California in 1911. of 4.32 went by the boards. Heilman and Shawhan will well fortify Dean Cromwell in the meet with the northern squads this season and both may make the famed eastern milers look to their laurels.

augurated by the Drama League ot America, a national organization for the improvement of the drama. It was celebrated not only at all leading universities, but also at all drama league centers and little theaters throughout the United States.
The university program started Wednesday, February 17, with a lecture recital by the well known Shakespearean actor, Frederick Warde, in | Bovard Auditorium. This was followed by the presentation of three one-act plays by the drama classes of the Schovol of Speech in Touchstone Theater Thursday afternoon, February 18.
These plays represented the present tendency in drama and were ‘‘Fourteen,” by Gerstenberg; “The Valiant,” by Hall and Middlemas, and ‘‘Poor Aubrey,” by George Kelly. A feature of the program was a talk by Eddie Blaine on the theater workshop which is being started here in order to give more students an opportunity to appear in dramatic productions.

Peace of mind of instructors and students could also be aided by a little co operation between the motorists on University Avenue and the university, It is rather distressing to find one’s self attempting to lecture against the rumble of the exhaust of some high-powered runabout or the rattle of a flivver. Notes can not be made complete under such conditions, either. Too, if there was less talking in the library, some students might make more progress in their collateral reading.

All that has to be done is to peruse the above picture carefully, mark the correct names of the persons represented and hand the marked Trojan to Mrs. Poetker, the lady in the cage of the Students’ Store. These names must be given to her by next Thursday at 12 p. m.
“The Goose Hangs High” holds a unique place among the recent comedy gems of the American stage, having scored a distinct ‘‘hit” when produced on Broadway, New York; its production by the Paramount Pictures Corporation and its uninterrupted success among the colleges of the United States speaks highly for the merit of the play. Stanford University recently presented the comedy-drama and it was voted one of the most successful plays of the season, according to re-ports emanating from the Northern school.
Alvin Barnov, as the “milk-fed” son, does an excellent and wholly entertaining piece of characterization in the play. Naturalness and stage poise promise to make Mr. Barnov one of the leading juvenile actors ot the S. C. campus.
