EARLY SEASON GAME MAY PROVE TOUGH FOR S. C.’S VARSITY SQUAD
Will Give Opportunity To Writers and Rooters To Get “Low Down'’ on the Tactics of “The Herd” As Dished Out by Coach Jones.
By CHARLIE SAUERS When old Trojan’s men fall Into line and the Cardinal and Gold is unfurled, some thousands of enthusiastic football fans in Southern California will be on hand to witness the introduction of Howard Jones’ highly reputed varsity. As Southern California meets Whittier on the Coliseum turk Saturday afternoon in an annual affair. The game will doubtedlessly be an eye-opener for some of the more casual observers. Whittier is being touted as one of the strongest elevens in the Southern conference and the Trojans are the favorites, of the dopesters, for Pacific Coast honors. The public can expect almost anything and everything, in the category of football, to happen next Saturday afternoon. Southern California is out for bigger and better scores this season, and from the brilliancy displayed in practice, of late, indications
are more than favorable.	♦__!_
Leo Calland’s all-Irish backfield is
reputed to be something of a sensation. the flashy “Red” Clark being as sisted by Phelan at half, Denny at quarter and Pendleton at half. All of these men have established themselves as first class backs, and are out next Saturday afternoon to further their reputations. The crimson-headed fullback, Clark, is considered the most dangerous of the lot, while Jertberg. a substitute quarter, may break into the contest for a good portion of the honors The Poets are led by no other jhan Oak Morris, a member of that famous Long Beach High School team of 1919, out of which have come six university captains, namely: Chet Dolly, captain of U. S. C. in 1923; Herb Rich, captain of O. A. C.; Lawson, captain of Stanford; Hoggy Evans, captain of California; Ray Price, captain of O. A. U., and Everett Miller, anofher captain of O. A. C Morris is comparatively light for the line, but makes up for it by his brilliant leadership and fighting spirit. His grid experience makes him a real | asset.
The starting line-up Saturday, will probably see Williams at quarter, j Drury and Heiser at halves, and Laraneta at full. Laraneta has been going great against the reserves and freshmen lately. At present he looks like the toughest plunger on the squad, and as he works best in real action, Lary ought to make the going rough for the Poet defense.

PIGSKIN REVIEW TO APPEAR AGAIN
El Rodeo To Get Former Daily Trojan Offices
With the moving of the Trojan ferson street and the installation office to its new location on Jef-of the El Rodeo office in the old Trojan quarters, the second floor of the Associated Students’ Store building will be reorganized next week.
The former office of the Trojan business manager will be occupied by Ralph Holly, El Rodeo editor, and Les Heilman, business manager of the year book. The editorial room will be made over into a photographic studio where all the pictures for the annual will be taken. The photograpfiy will start the latter part of October, and will be completed by the Christmas holidays, when the editorial and business rooms will take the place of the studio.
The Wampus staff is in with Teet Carle, publicity manager of the University. The offices of Gwynn Wilson, Hal Stonier, Arnold Eddy, and all other offices will remain the same.
MUSIC GROUPS TO ENTER ON BUILDING AND DEVELOPMENT PLANSJHIS TERM
Band Ordering “Scream” Outfits; Musicians Are Out To Support Popular Department.
A new building, a ‘‘Little Symphony” orchestra, a self-supporting music department, and snappy collegiate uniforms for the band—these are among the plans being formulated by Harold Roberts for the newly-created Department of Musical Organizations, of which he is the director.
If tentative plans materialize, the new structure, to be known as the "Musical Organizations Building,” will be erected on the corner of 34th and Hoover Streets, facing Bovard Field. It is to be about as large as the university Y. M. C. A. building, and will contain offices for the Men’s and Women’s Glee Clubs, the band, and the contemplated orchestra. Plans for the building were drawn up by Prof. Arthur C. Weatherhead, of the School of Architecture, and contractors are already submitting bids. That the building is a necessity on the campus is pointed out by Roberts, who states that last year, as director of the band, he conducted rehearsals in the women’s gymnasium, the Y. M. C. A., the Women’s Residence Hall, the Old College basement, and even on the street.
The new' Department of Musical Organizations is, according to Roberts, a sort of companion piece to the General Manager’s office of the athletic department, with Roberts’ position corresponding to that of Coach Willis O. Hunter.
All musical organizations are to be united, and to be kept constantly be-(Continued on Page Three)

MANY ROOTERS NEEDED
GEORGE C. JORDAN
Well, girls, tomorrow is the day when yonu make or end the history of the Trojan women’s rooting section, if Burdette means what he says, and we think he does. It is inconceivable that football, which means so much to the spirit of this University, should receive the wholehearted support of the men alone. It seems almost absurd to suggest that the campus women do not care enough about the institution of football to support it with their presence at the games. One would think that the selfish pleasure of seeing the game would in itself assure a good crowd of both men and women, to say nothing of the obligation which the name Trojan should imply. But the fact stares us in the face that we stand in danger of having only a men’s rooting section unless fine spirit and a lot of it is shown by Southern California women tomorrow afternoon.

Braven Dyer of the Times wrill have a page telling the fine points of the S. C.-Whittier game, while Ralph Huston of the Trojan will run the first of a series of articles introducing the team. Then there will be special articles on the men out for end positions.
In the succeeding Reviews there will be leading articles by the sports editors: Jack James of the Herald; Svd Ziff of the Express; Eddy Frayne of the Record, and Mark Kelly of the Examiner.
Each magazine will contain sixteen pages, except the Stanford and California games, which will have thirty-two pages. The covers are to be of two color designs.

Contrary to the- previous custom of having only the one social affair during the freshman term, this year’s frosh officers, under the direction of lx>ren Matheson, president, are plan-1 ning several class functions, first of which will be the freshman “Get-Together.” The date for this very informal affair, which is strictly for freshmen, is tentatively set for Thursday, October 7, from 3:15 to 5, in the men’s gym.
The Get-Together will consist of a short program indicative of the varied talent in the freshman class, and following the program there will be a dance. Novelty dances will be staged to further the purpose of the affair, which is to acquaint the freshmen with one another and establish a spirit of friendliness and co-operation in the class. A small tag will
Whittier isn’t a very big school in point of size. Probably the team would win if there were no one in the grandstand. That isn’t the point, just winning. The men playing on the field tomorrow will be the Trojan varsity, the same one that we are depending on to beat California and Stanford in a few short weeks. They are entitled to know that we are back of them from the scratch to the end of the season. For the general public, they must be convinced by the sports writers and publicity men that they are going to see good football and a fight or they may not come out. Well, Leo Calland is a former Southern California captain and it will be the first appearance of the season for our own varsity, both of which facts should make it well worth our while to be at the Coliseum tomorrow. But we don’t put it on that plane for ourselves, we owe it to Southern California to be out there, if we possibly can.
The Trojan Knights met for the first time this season to discuss plans and duties for the coming year. Chairman Ray Brockmann stated that the warriors are to have charge of the rooting section at all footbail games and are to act as a general rally committee. They have also assumed another important duty, that of clearing Bovard Field and keeping guard during all secret practices of Coach Jones’ cohorts.
President Red Dales appointed two committees of Knights. One, the Transportation Committee under Chairman John Bailey, is to see to the work of welcoming and housing all visiting teams. The other committee, headed by Chairman “Spud” Lacey, is to handle the affairs of the fourth annual Trojan Knight-Amazon ball. The details of the big function will be announced through the Trojan within the next ten days, ac-| cording to Chairman Lacey.
Owing to Vice-President Russ Neely’s non-return to school this semester, Garth Lacey was elected from his position as treasurer to take Neely’s place and Bill Stewart was elected to the vacated treasurer’s office. The meeting broke up with the injunction from President Dales for every Knight to be on hand for all games.
Bigger Band’s Back; Toots Tomorrow Featuring Fracas
Led by Harold Roberts, the Tro jan Band, in pure white uniform, is to make its grst public appearance at the Coliseum this year during the S. C.-Whittier football game Saturday afternoon.
Judging from the showing made by the musicians at the rehearsal at the “Y” Hut Tuesday night, it is anticipated that the band will make a good impression upon the football fans. The band master has given assurance that the people will be satisfied with their performance.
So as to prepare the drill for the game, the members of the band with their uniform are to meet Saturday noon at Bovard field, according to Roberts. Positions in line and explanations of details will be given.
It has been announced that henceforth the regular practice of the band will take place every Wednesday night at eight at the Girls’ gym.

Burdette Henney to Conduct First Rally of Year; Period Will Be Taken Up With Yell Practice.
Today’3 chapel period between 9:00 and 9:25 o’clock will be given over to the students of the University for the first rally of the year. The entire period has been placed in the hands of Yell King Burdette Henney, who intends to use it to arouse the well-known Trojan “Fighting Spirit'* in preparation for the Whittier game tomorrow.
All the Trojan songs and yells will be rehearsed so that the new students may learn the words and cadences and, also, so that they will be fresh in the minda of the old students in order that the rooting tomorrow will be uniform.
The Rally Committee, of which Art Syvertson is the chairman, has been working hard to secure regular Friday rallys at the present chapel hours. At the present time, a petition is before President von KleinSmid requesting such rallies, but as yet no action has been taken on the petiUon.

Henney and the Executive Cott* mittee will be watching the aspirant and taking note of his technique, stage presence, and personality. The manner in which he is received by the students themselves will also play a part in the selection of four finalists. They will appear in a similar rally before the students and from the four, two men will be chosen; one from the freshmen and sophomores, and one from the juniors and seniors. These two men will assist Henney throughout the year.
The modern co-ed may be going to the dogs: perhaps that’s why some of the men are such confirmed dog-
lovers.
....Enjoying an unusual opportunity to hear a distinguished international lecturer and scholar, the Athena and Aristotelian Literary Societies had as their guest speaker recently, Dr, Boris Markovin of Czechoslovakia, and instructor of comparative literature at the University of Prague.
Telling of his impressions of American institutions, and colleges in particular. Dr. Markovim drew amusing comparisons between the old world and the new world college student. He particularly noticed the difference in dress and attitude of the students of Southern California and those of the University of Prague and other institutions of Europe.
Just a word here about the Y conference at Catalina. Since it is not generally known that the conference was not originally planned to conflict with the first football game there have been a few criticisms of that organization for going off on a trip at this time. The fact is that the conference, which is an annual one, was planned for the first days of school but was postponed at the wish of the administration. As a consequence it is now or never with the men. We hope the delegates will come back better Trojans for their experience.
Just to show that we have not altogether lost our optimistic outlook, we will say that the feature editor is right now at work compiling a series of stories upon the outstandingly good things which we have to offer on our campus. This series vili be ready for your approval in a short time. But we don’t like to take great praise where none is deserved.
With the passing of this - day, “Hello and Smile Week” will be a matter of history for this year. There have been some criticisms made by our editorial writers but we are really not much alarmed. In the first place the campus did not seem a > chilly place to us. Again, because-' the “Hello and Smile Week” is ] passed we do not conclude that the chance to say “hello” and to smile is passed. Not by a whole.lot. Once a Trojan, always a Trojan, and as we said before, one of the marks of a true Trojan is a true friend whenever and wherever you meet him.
That tryouts for the 1926 Debate squad will be held early in November, was the statement of Ray Bren-nen, last year’s varsity captain. Southern California is the only Pacific Coast college that has the debate squad system, whereby a large number of men are kept in readiness for intercollegiate competition. The squad usually numbers about twenty men who are constantly participating in inter-squad debates.
Only three men have been lost from last year’s championship squad. “Dee” Tallman, president of the A. S. U. S. C., Phil Berger, and Ray Brennan are the three that will be unable to compete this year. The returning members upon whom hopes for another championship team will rest are: Art Syvertson, captain; Bill Henley, manager; Adna Leonard, Virgil Pinkley, Charles Wright, Frank Colston. Marion Garrison, Art Fres-ton, Sam Gates, Manuel Ruiz, Mel-drim Burrill, George Lawrence, Stanley Hopper, and Elwood Harman.
Plans are being made for a trip through the Southern States this year, where debates will be held at all the larger universities of the South stated Brennan. A Trojan debate team will also go to the University of Arizona, Utah, and the University of British Columbia while for the first time in Its history the Harvard debate team will cross the Rocky Mountains to .meet Southern California on the debate platform.
Loudspeaker Has Been Remodeled To Carry Announcements More Clearly To Crowds.
Wisecracking over the Coliseum amplifier during the gridiron classics to be held in the Trojan bowl this season will be absolutely nil, according to Coach Dean Cromwell. Cromwell is the man who furnishes the announcer with authentic information as to the yardage gained or lost by the two elevens who happen to be doing battle at that particular moment.
“The telephone and amplification system of the Coliseum last year has been torn down and re-installed. The Coliseum now has, to all present information, the most complete press box in the world.”
Damon Runyon, nationally known sport writer, who covered many of the more important eastern games of 1925, says the phone system of the Coliseum is more simplified and more complete than that of any stadium he has even been in.
There are two fully equipped press another with a cheery “Hello”’ boxes, one at the top of the amphi- There Is an old saying that “once a

IS CAMPUS SPIRIT
Student Prexy Advocates a More Friendly Spirit Between Campus Organizations.
During the past week, the friendly spirit of “Hello and Smile” has been evinced, not only by the conspicuous display of tags and stickers, but by an increase of democratic spirit on the part of the Trojan student body, stated Dee Tallman, President of the Student Body yesterday.
"It is my hope,” states Tallman. “that the spirit of ‘Hello and Smile’ will be carried out by everyone during the entire year. Southern California is under a great handicap by the formation of cliques and groups, with very little good fellowship, generally speaking. It is to the best interest of the University to have enough harmony among the students so that one will feel free to greet

The only other man in the Coliseum whose voice will be heard over these lines, other than Cromwell’s, is Charlie Keppen, who announces the results of each play.

Trojan, always a Trojan.” Show this spirit. The test of a true Trojan is the breaking down of the caste which now exists between fraternity and non-fraternity groups. "Hello” and “Smile'’ is only a beginning. Let its effect be felt by any opponents which we may meet. Show that the students are united under a common bond—that of the good of the university.”
NURSING SCHOOL WILL PRESENT PLAY
NURSING SCHOOL ------ -----------------
This coming Saturday, September 25, the well known play, “All of a Sudden Peggy,” is to be given in Bovard Auditorium by the girls of the Methodist Hospital School of Nursing, which is a sister institution to the university. The play, which is being produced by special arrangement with Samuel French of New York, is one which has proven very popular because of the many amusing and ludicrous situations with which it is replete. Miss Beth Woodruff Nordwall is the director, and the nurses, many of whom have had extensive previous experience in dramatics, have responded splendidly under her training.
A peach and a prune may be alike in many respects, but the widest difference is one may wear skirts while the other may be the last hope for dietitians.
COLLEGE SPIRIT IS URGED FOR “CONS”
Road Camp Superintendent Proposes New Use For Campus Type of Competition.
That the “Old College Spirit” has other uses than to cheer the Trojan football team to victory is the word received from Ben. H. Milliken. state superintendent of convict road camps, who states, “Get the old college spirit into the convicts, and they’ll work their heads off.”
The prisoners are spurred on to higher endeavor by the same spirit that causes a football team to fight its way out of defeat to victory, or that keeps a racer on the cinder path, though his legs are wobbly and every breath stabs like a knife, the official says.
“Take away the convict’s garb and replace it with college cords,” says Milliken. "Replace his pick and shovel with a baseball bat or a shovel, and call his institution the Univer-(Continued on Page Three)
