D. S. C. AVENGES FORMER DEFEAT
Bergstrom Breaks Southern Record in Pole Vault, Height 12 ft. 6 in.
CAPTAIN SMITH TRIMS ANNIN
Accident Loses Trojans Nine Points —Baer Field Again Proves Hoodoo for Fred Kelly
The U. S. C. track team gave a splendid exhibition and easily defeated Occidental college on Baer Held last Saturday afternoon in the annual dual meet, the Trojans scoring 82>4 points to the Tigers’ 46^2 points.
Shortie Bergstrom established a new southern record at 12 feet 6 in. in the pole vault. This is a remarkable record considering that in the last foot of this height there was no other competitor.
Schmittie got Bill Annin’s goat in the mile with yards to spare. This was the revenge the captain has been lying awake nights planning to achieve ever since Bill slipped one over on him last year.
In the quarter-mile, Stone-wall Jackson, in spite of some jockeying on the part of the Oxy team, cleaned Cook in good shape. Berger was not so fortunate but fell for the Oxy trick was boxed in, and was nearly forced from the track by Creighton and thus forced to be content with third place.
Fritz Kelly of Olympic fame, star of the varsity squad, and high hurdle champion of the world, met a streak of hard luck in the 220 low hurdles, lost stride on the sixth hurdle, stumbled to the seventh and fell cutting himself badly. This mishap messed Hodge and Laird and allowed Oxy to place first and second.
In the 220 yard dash Throop and Bradley finished first hand in hand. In the two mile Swiggett, Torrance and Walbridge finished in the same manner.
The 100 yd. dash—Throop (USC) first; Baer (O) second; Bradley (USC) third. Time 10 2-5.
The 220 yd dash—Throop (USC) first; Bradley (USC) second; Yake-ley (O) third. Time 23 1-5.
The 440 yd. dash—Jackson (USC) first; Cook (O) second; Berger (USC) third. Time 51 3-5.
The 880 yard dash—Tipton (USC) first; Petit (O) second; Cole (USC) third. Time, 2m. 6 1-5.
One mile run—Smith (USC) first; Annin (O) second; Torrance (USC) third. Time 4m. 39s.
Two mile run—Swiggett, Torrance and Walbridge, all of U.S.C., tied for first. Time, 10m. 52-4-5s.
The 120 yard hurdles—Kelly (USC) first; Kirkpatrick (O)
Personnel of U. S. C.
B.	C. C. C. is Selected
New Talent and Up-to-Date Plans Promise Best “Grouch Remover” Yet Presented
On Tuesday afternoon, February 17th, the first tryout of the U. S. C. Burnt Cork Comedy club was held, and since that date the personnel of the club has been selected and rehearsals started.
As a result of the first tryout and others held later, the following men have been chosen as members of the minstrel club for this year: Blair, Olmstead, Record, Freeman, Dewrey, Blalock, Eskey, Knopf, Campbell, Morrill, Bryan, Hodge, Moore, Van Fleet, Henderson, and Burrell.
The minstrel show this year will make a departure from previous productions which have been for the most part conglomerated mixtures of comedy and stunts. As an innovation the present production will be staged in the form of a three act play or musical comedy with a definite plot. This does not mean any detraction from the comic element, as the plot is intended to serve as a framework for the humor. More attention and emphasis is to be placed upon the musical part of the program, making a special feature of the quartet.
The past work of the Burnt Cork Comedy Club has been of a high order. They have always had the interests of the University at heart. Last year they presented the institution with an office table and it is their intention to make the presenta-(Continued on Page 3)

Negative Team Loses to Pomona— Decision of Judges Contradicts That of Audience
The annual intercollegiate debate resulted in a general tie between the College of Liberal Arts of U. S. C., Pomona College, and Occidental, each college winning one debate and losing the other.
Varsity administered an overwhelming defeat to the Occidental representatives, the decision of the judges being unanimous in favor of U. S. C. The Occidental men, Messrs. Blount, McLean and Hopkins, were no match for the cardinal and gold debaters. Ray A. Murray, Everett W. Mattoon, and Russell E. Stark outpointed the Tigers in both delivery and argument.
The result was never in doubt and the decision of the judges met hearty applause from the audience. Great credit is due the affirmative team; they not only met a team of reputed strength but had the entire burden of proof on their shoulders.
Pomona Wins On the other hand the team that went to Claremont w’as defeated. Every confidence in the winning ability of E. G. Thompson, G. Bromley Oxnam, and Lyle Eveland was expressed by Professor Olmstead before the men left. They wrere well prepared and victory seemed assured. It is needless here to go over the debate or the decision of the judges. Suffice it to say that when Oxnam closed the argument for U. S. C., not only the Pomona team, but the Pomona rooters realized that the U. S. C. men (Continued on page 3)
Flipayjolly-Up Shows Real Spirit
Enthusiasm Takes Slump in Spite of Victories and Monday Jolly-Up is Slow
Surpassing all expectations in the quantity and quality of school spirit shown, the jolly-up held Friday in celebration of the A. A. U. victory set a standard for future gatherings of this kind.
Captain Smith gave a brief review of the work done by the team in the A. A. U. meet and stated that he was very much pleased with the manner in which the team showed up. More student backing is needed, however, and more students should attend the track meets.
In addition to the regular jolly-up stunts Miss Wright gave several readings which were enthusiastically applauded and a ukelele trio, composed of Messrs. Kirchhoffer, Wheatley and Mattoon, presented several numbers.
An attempted jolly-up Monday, in celebration of the victory over Oxy on Saturday, failed to exhibit much enthusiasm on the part of the student body, but this can probably be attributed to the easiness of the victory.
Y. W. C. A. NOTICE
All girls of the University should hear Professor Hill Wednesday at 9:50 in East Hall when he will give the first of two interesting addresses. His subject this week will be “The Challenge.”
