ST. MARY’S MEETS S.C.
Will Play Deciding Tilts of Cal. I. C. Baseball League on Bovard Field.
TWO WINS MEAN TIE
Ted Sahlberg to Start on Mound for Trojans, Pat Collins for Saints.
BY RALPH HUSTON Confidently expecting a victory, St. Mary's league-leading baseball team invades Southern California today, meeting the Trojans on Bovard Field in the final, crowning and classic series of the California Intercollegiate ball loop. The game is called for 2:30.
WINS IMPORTANT Tbe Trojans, playing on their home diamond, have planned a vicious attack. The series is the most important of the year. Two victories—today and tomorrow—will give Sam Crawford’s hopefuls a tie for first place in the league. A victory in either game for the Saints will give the northerners the league flag. Incidentally a pair of victories for the Trojans might influence an expected decision by the Athletic Committee regarding a rumored trip to the Hawaiian Islands for a series of games.
Ted Sahlberg has been announced as Crawford’s choice for today’s pitching assignment. The husky fast ball thrower is in good form again, entirely recovered from an Injury to his leg suffered in the northern Stanford game. Pat Collins probably will throw for the visitors, presaging a highly interesting twirling duel.
HARD HITTERS The Trojans will be hammering the ball from the start. Crawford has a wicked array of clouters in Badgro, Galindo, Manlove, Caballero, Kreiger, and Floyd Welch, and the Trojan coach is expected to use a lineup that will present all of these stickers. "FORDHAM OF THE WEST” Opposing this “murderer’s row,” Slip Madigan, the Saint pilot, has a squad of high class ball players who feature the hitting game as much as do the Trojans. St. Mary’s always has been the leading baseball institution of the Pacific Coast. The school has [produced more big league ball players than nearly any other university in Ithe country. It is known as the “Ford-1 lham of the West.”.. Fordham University, in New York, is a well known >roducer of ball players. Frankie :risch is a graduate of Fordham.
This year’s St. Mary’s team is no ?xception to the general run. Madi-(Continued on Page Three)
“DOGGONE BUTTON” TO APPEAR TODAY I
Today the Dog-on-Button starts dog-dog-doggin’ around.
This marks the twenty-seventh anniversary of the senior society of wit, known to laymen as the order of the Dog-on-Button.
It all started back in 1900 when Professor J. H. Hoose, then associated with the philosophy department, had barely finished a long dissertation on the inability of dogs to think or understand man’s attitude when an intelligent canine, w’hich had entered just in time to benefit by the remark, wheeled about and dashed from the room. The class being human, everybody laughed.
And so for the next six weeks, the Dog-on-Button may be worn by the senior man or woman who makes a professor laugh. The student must have two senior witnesses who will accompany him to the last person holding the button and prove that he has earned the right to wear it.
The button is now in the hands of Lee Conti, from W’hom it may be obtained by the first worthy applicant.

His family persuades him that fee is sick and sends him to South p.merica, in order that they may spend pome of his vast fortune. Contrary
Io most business men, Mr. King goes
o	South America and leaves Adam Smith in charge of his family, as well is his business affairs. Adam has
Ipent most of his time in the busi-ess world, and finds running a fam-y with a spendthrift son-in-law, two ormal, modern daughters, a gouty other-in-law, and a couple of would-son-inlaws in the form of fortune inters ,quite out of his line.

This fact, coupled with the clever dialogue of the script, the amusing situations, the fashionable costumes, and organ music by Calvin Hendricks of tho School of Music, promise a worthwhile entertainment, according to Mr. Ralston.

Tonight the track team leaves for Stanford. The hosts are planning a regular rooting section, if we interpret the editorials in the Stanford Daily correctly. In any event, the meet is going to be a hard one. We ought to have an old-time send-off at the station; we have not had a single one this year. But since that isn’t to be the least we can do is to express ourselves in the assembly this morning. This may be the last rally of the year.

One of the Trojan writers has considerable to say today on the matter of fraternity men appropriating property that doesn’t belong to them, the motive being souvenirs. He might have said more than he did with equal justification. This campus has certainly been handicapped this year by light-fingered individuals with a false sense of the funny. That is why we can’t have more all-University dances. It is also a real deterrent on the necessary poster advertising that is necessary to the success of campus dramatic enterprises.
*	* *
The next issue of the Alumni Review is to be dedicated to the seniors of the University with the idea of bringing them into an active interest writh the Alumni Association. The Alumni Association provides one of the best means of keeping in touch with the “gang” after leaving the campus. It is the Alumni Association that makes it possible for graduates to get the consideration they should have when they are buying their football tickets. It is this association that makes Trojan spirit mean what it does all over the country. It will be this association that will have a prominent part in putting over a successful Semi-Centennial program.

The other night the Executive Committee made provision for the frosh hats for next year. Which is a reminder that the provision for rushing rules for next year has ye’t to be made. It is all right to have a little fun writh the freshies but there is a more serious business to be taken care of and it must not.be overlooked.
* * *
“It w’on’t be long, now.”
The appearance of the “Dog-on Button” always heralds the close of another campus year, the approach of those final forms and ceremonies with which the seniors leave their Alma Mater. It is to be hoped that this year’s class will pull together and enter into the spirit that makes these last days worthwhile.

POINT MAY DECIDE Famous Trojan Cripples are Still Slightly Under the Weather.
BY HAL SILBERT
Coming to such a pass where both Templeton and Cromwell might well shout, "My kingdom for a point,” the muchly heralded, the widely advertised, and the all-important Stanford-Southern California track and field meet will be offered finally for public approval—or disapproval, depending on which sFde of the field ycu srt, tomorrow afternon on the Cardinal oval.
The Trojan mentor, Manager Ed Spence, and some thirty wearers of cardinal and gold short panties will leave tonight at 8 o’clock on the Lark for the scene of battle. Rest assured that Troy’s chosen band of stalwarts will board the train both serious and determined. The meet is figured so closely that a single digit might decide whether the Cards or Trojans are entitled to receive dual championship honors of the season.
CARDS IMPROVE Speculation rose to great heights at the time of the postponement of the meet as to which team would profit most by the added two weeks of preparation. In the light of recent events the improvement of Templeton’s men has been far greater than that of the Trojan runners. The performances of Alex McKinnon in the 880 and mile, of Zombro in the broad jump, and of Flefshacker in the shot have enhanced the Cardinal chances of victory to an even greater degree than they were before.
On the other hand, Cromwell’s famous cripples, Reynolds, Parsons, Heilman, and mith, are still not in tiptop shape. A touch of influenza caused Parsons to remain in bed for two weeks, and as a result left the blende flash in no condition to run. He is not entered in the meet. Although Reynolds declares his injured leg to be in good shape once more, he still somewhat favore the limb while “taking” the hurdles. It is extremely doubtful whether Cliff wil even place. Heilman is still in poor condition and will in all probaility leave the brunt of the two-mile grind on Gordon Smith’s shoulders. The other member of the Smith family, Hershel, has returned to old time form, which means that he should beat Richman. Stanford’s lone rope ia the sprints, n both dashes to take two thirds, and, incidentally, two mighty welcome points.
In order to show, and also to compare, the way events have somewhat been altered in the past couple of weeks by performances on the part of members of both squads, the writer is reprinting the "dope sheet’’ which appeared before the meet wa3 postponed:
100—Borah (SC), House (SC), Smith (SC).
220—Borah (SC), House -fSC), Parsons (SC).
440—Spencer (S), Sauers (SC), Babcock (S).
880—Lovejoy (SC), Gloege (SC)r Clum (S).

ORIGINAL PROGRAM The form of entertainment that U.
