Sports Department Announces Novel Contest On California Meet Results
Will the Golden Bears or the Southern California Trojans triumph when these two bitter rivals meet March 20 in a dual track meet in the Coliseum? What will be the score? Who will be the star of the meet? Who will provide the upsets?
These are questions that are stirring in the mind of every Trojan sport enthusiast! So great is the interest in this impending event and so universal the tendency for each fan to “dope” out the final result before the meet that the Sports Department of the Daily Trojan are sponsoring a mammoth guessing contest upon the results of the California-Southern California met.
Three prizes have been secured and will be awarded to the winners of the contest. The first prize will be a new complete leather-bound El Rodeo, containing the autographs of the Trojan point winners and the winner’s name in gold upon the cover. This prize is offered through the courtesy of Burdette Ives, El Rodeo manager. Two first-class tickets to the Playhouse Theatre will be the award to the second place winner and the third prize will be two tickets to the Figueroa Theatre.
The judges of the contest will be Coach Dean B. Cromwell, director-in-chief of the Trojan track artists; Lee Conti, editor of the Trojan; and Paul Churchill, sports editor.
RULES OF THE CONTEST The rules are few, but important:
1.	Only students, former students, alumni, or members of the faculty of the University of Southern California are eligible.
2.	Each event must be listed separately with the names of the prospective first three place winners tabulated directly below.
3.	Use only one side of one sheet of paper. Use typewriter if possible.
4.	Only one dope sheet may be submitted by each individual or organization.
5.. Mail or hand entries to the Sports Department of the Daily Trojan, 36th and University, Los Angeles, California.
6.	Contest closes at 6:00 P. M. Friday, March 19, 1926.
7.	Members of the Trojan Sports staff are not eligible for this contest.
The winner of the contest will not necessarily be the one who dopes the finals score exactly, but the one who most accurately names the three point winners in each evenL

The International Student Service
To promote more friendly relations between the University of Southern California and the University of California, Los Angeles, Don Cameron, student body president of S. C., is to speak in the regular monthly student assembly of the Vermont Avenue institution on “Why We Should Know Each Other Better” today at 1 p. m.
Cameron is speaking at the U. C. L. A. in acceptance of the invitation of Fred Houser, student body president of that university. At the beginning of the year the two presidents i agreed to give each other invitations to speak in their assemblies about the best way in which the two universities can be made closer, and about methods of fostering better relations be tween them.
Another step taken was the or- I ganization of the inter - fraternity smoker between all the fraternities od the campuses of the two institutions. The inter-fraternity councils of both universities are whole-heartedly supporting this idea and occasionally they hold a joint smoker.
In response to the invitation of Cameron, Mr. Houser is to speak at the Friday assembly of Southern California next Friday on a subject which
Divorce Cases Hold Interest At S. C. Law School
About fifty or sixty divorce cases are filed on the dockets of the Supreme Court of the U. S. C. Law School. All embryo lawyers are soon to have a battle of wits in the form of legal and technical brain-twisters.
The Supreme Court of the U. S C. Law School is a fictitious system of legal machinery patterned after the Supreme Court of the United States. This practice court system is used only by upper classmen and the benefit lies in its practability, since the trial judges are genuine and bona fide, being some of the most prominent fudges of the Los Angeles County bench.
Every Tuesday evening at 6:15 the judge raps for order in the various courtrooms and anyone interested is invited in and help to swell the attendance. Divorce being the main issue at this time, some very interesting cases have been developed.
AUTOIST HELD FOR DEATH OF S. C. STUDENT
G. Moran Held on Charge of Voluntary Manslaughter Following Accident.
Guiller Moran, accused slayer of Michael T. Torino, an alumnus of the I College of Pharmacy, ’21. is being held j in the county jail on a charge of vol j untary manslaughter. The coroner’s ! jury verified the fact that Moran was j intoxicated at the time of the accident j and will recommend persecution to ; the fullest extent of the law.
The accident accurred on the corner of Seventh and Grand Saturday,
! March 6, at midnight Moran was try-I ing to cross the street in his car when ! he ran into a car of high school boys.
I The boys tried to get his name and ! to make some settlement with him ! concerning the damages. He became abusive and the boys asked Torino, who was standing nearby, to get the number of the car for them. While he was getting the number, Moran jumped into his car and deliberately j ran into Torino. Torino was carried I from the scene of the accident to the [corner of Seventh and Bixel, where the car collided into a telephone flost,
; puncturing Torino’s chest and abdo | men. Moran w as taken into custody j immediately and Torino was taken to I the Receiving Hospital and later to . the Angelus Hospital, where he died at 5 o’clock Sunday morning.
The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at the W. i*. Brown Undertaking Parlors at 315 South Flower,
I and he was buried at the Forrest I^awn Cemetery in Glendale.
Torino was a member of the Phi Delta Chi fraternity and was a popular i man on the campus. After he left college in ’21, he worked ln a drug store at Montebello and recently purchased the Comet Drug Co. at Wilshire and La Brea. He married Katherine Mor-ford, an alumnae of the class of ’20, College of Pharmacy, and a member of the Delta Zeta sorority.
