GRIDDERS WILL GET PLAUDITS
Chain Will Stage Another Skit in Rally; Trojans To Parade At 3:30.
By KARMI WYCKOFF
Starting with the rally this morning at 9:30 the biggest send-off for Southern California’s versity will be staged today; a parade, the raising of the Trojan War Flag and a send-off rally at the Southern California station this afetrnoon are included on the schedule.
Tbe rally is scheduled for 9:30 this morning, with the raising of the Trojan War Flag to follow mimediately from the top of Bovard Tower. The parade will form at 3:20 with the head in front of Bovard Auditorium, instead of at Jefferson Street, witfc the station send-off timed for 4:15 before the team leaves for Chicago.
NEW TABLOID Rhyme, music and tabloid will feature the program to be given at the rally this morning in Bovard Auditorium. Rhyme and tabloid will be
characterize the dramatic number to be presented which has been written by Morris Chain.
This is not a skit, as has been written by Chain before, but a book which will take up considerable more time than the short pieces which have been produced heretofore. Properties for this production have constituted the biggest problem of the entire program. This matter has been handled ably by Ralph Claire and Mack Machris.
TROJAN CLUB ORCHESTRA A special musical number will be played by Harold Grayson’s Trojan Club Orchestra which has been composed by Charles Kahler, a professional composer. Other selections to be played are tbe “Drinking Song,” from “The Student Prince,” “Hail To Notre Dame,” “Sweet Adeline,” “Boola Boola.” the Yale song, and a medley of songs of Stanford, California and other universities.
Charles Wright will take the part of Father Time in the skit. Bur dette Henney will have charge of a unique radio broadcasting arrangement which will climax the program. The audience will take part in the program in the capacity of a rooting section led by Paul Elmquist.
The auditorium will be dark when the students enter from the excused classes, and it is requested by Shuelds Maxwell, chairman of the committee, that they take their seats as quickly as possible, as the rally will be long enough as it is, and it is not desired that it run over time. Immediately after the rally is concluded, the Trojan War Flag will be raised from the top of the tower. The Trojan Squires are responsible for this part of the program and are under the direction of the Knights, who. in turn, are responsible to Shields Maxwell.
The parade will form at 3:30 under the direction of the Knights. A police car will head the parade and motorcycle escorts will accom pany the line through traffic to the staUon.
DECORATIONS
Paul Elmquist asks that banners and flags canying the name “South era California” or “Trojan” be used in the decorations, so that the general public will know who it is that is staging the send-off. Decorations (Continued on Page Four)

Sigma Delta Chi Chapter Promised Journalism Group
French Returns From Big Confab; Need Department of Journalism.
If a department of journalism is installed at Southern California, the
By-liners, Trojan journalism organization, probably will be granted a chapter of Sigma Delta Chi. professional journalism fraternity.
This word comes from Roy L. French, associate professor of journalism and president of Sigma Delta Chi for the past year, who has returned from the national convention of the journalism fraternity conducted last week at the University of Kansas. .The Trojan instructor expressed his surprise at the number of times Southern California was mentioned on the floor of the convention and says that Sigma Delta Chi could only extend an informal welcome to the By-liners.
In order to raise the already high standard of Sigma Delta Chi it was voted last year to admit no university in the fraternity which has no department of journalism functioning. Pennsylvania University and the University of South Carolina were successful in their petition this year, Professor French reports.
NEW PRESIDENT James A. Stewart, managing editor of the Indianapolis Star, succeeds Professor French in leading Sigma Delta Chi as president for the coming year.
According to Professor French, the convention, which lasted three full days, was a great success in all respects. Ninety-eight delegates representing thirty-nine colleges were in attendance, having come from states as far away from the convention as Washington, Georgia, California and Maine.
Outstanding among the speakers was Carl McGee, who will be remembered as the “Fighting Editor of Alburquerque, N. M„” the man who first started investigation into the Teapot Dome affair. McGee is now managing editor of the “News” in Oklahoma City. Other speakers of note were J. Alfred Spender, of the London Westminister Gazette, now in this country making a stud} of American journalism; United States Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas, who was also host to the fraternity at a banquet in Topeka during the convention.

RAZZBERRY TO APPEAR DECEMBER 9
Pi Delta Epsilon is Awarded Public Pledging; Dinner For Sigma Planned.
Pledging of Pi Delta Epsilon elig-ibles in chapel Dec. 9, and the appearance, immediately thereafter, of the long awaited Razzberry edition of the Trojan, were decided upon yesterday at a special meeting of the local chapter of the national honorary journalism fraternity.
Hal Silbert president of the organization, has obtained permission for
the public introduction of the men elected to the honorary from William Henley, student body president and Shields Maxwell, chairman of the rally committee.
NAMES SECRET This is the first time in the history of the University that Pi Delt has been awarded public campus recognition. Pledges to the organization already have been voted upon. Silbert said, but their names will not be divulged until the public appearance.
The pledges will be introduced, at that time, clad in their official costume.
Immediately after the rally, the pledges will be loosed upon the campus, bearing the far-famed Razzberry edition. This annual campus feature is produced, written and printed exclusively by the Pi Delta pledges, and contains all the inside “dope” and “dirt” on campus notables. Cherished secrets are swept into the limelight, and characters go tumbling right and left, according to Silbert, when the Razzberry appears ,and the forthcoming edition promises to be better than ever. The printing of the sheet will be under the supervision of “Deke” Houlgate a Pi Delta member.
Pledges to the honorary were selected after a careful examina-ation of their records and capabilities. Two years of service on a university publication, in an editorial capacity, and a marked interest in journalism are the requirements.
The evening of Wednesday, December 7, was selected as the date for the dinner which Pi Delta is to give for Sigma, national women’s professional journalism sorority.

The Husky tilt is expected to be a complete sell-out before the game begins.
All students who made applications for tickets previously will receive postcards some time this week entitling them to call for their pastboards. Distribution of these tickets will take place Monday.

Another announcement from the administration is that both the Women’s Residence Hall and the Men’s dormitory will be open as usual during the Thanksgiving vacation.
The double cut ruling applies to all vacations whether one day or
two weeks long.
WILLIAMS IS OUT OF BIG GAME
Team Leaves Star Quarterback in Hospital With Injured Back.
By JAKE SHUKEN
With Don Williams in the hospital as a result of an injury received in the Washington State game last Saturday that threatens to put the pigskin meteor out of the game for the rest of his life, thirty-three players, six coaches, two medicos, one trainer, two student managers, one yell king, one graduate manager, and one faculty representative, forty-seven in all, the official party representing the University of Southern California will be on board the Trojan Special when it puffs out for Chicago at five oclock this afternoon.
The shooting star of the Trojan backfield had three vertebrae fractured and will be on his back for a long time. According to early reports from the hospital he may never don the moleskins again. This bit of news casts a heavy shadow over the entire squad as last year Williams contributed the greatest bit of individual football ever seen in the Notre Dame game. Don will probably hear the returns of the game by radio at his bedside.
The players who are on the traveling list to Chicago are: Captain Morley Drury, Harry Edelson, Rockwell
Kemp, Bert Heiser, Howard Elliott, John Porter, Alvin Schaub, Tony Step-

Grid Stars to Be Guests of Honor
At AII-U Dance
Social Function Will Be Climax of Homecoming Program.
Climaxing three days of festivities the annual All-University homecoming dance will be held on Saturday evening, Dec. 3, at the Elk’s Club ballroom. Alumni, upper classmen, sophomores and lowly frosh will meet on an equal level socially speaking, for the dance is to be just what the name denotes: all University.
toin. The Elks’ Club orchestra, numbered among the city’s finest, will play for the dancing. Programs are to be a novelty, and a surprise: J. A. Meyers Company is making them and those who are in the know refuse to divulge their nature, beyond pronouncing them a “knockout.”
The presence of the erstwhile rival teams is promised, to lend zest to the evening, as both the University of Washington and the Trojan varsi ties are to be guests of honor at the dance. It is expected, also, that old grads will take advantage of the event to renew acquaintances, and compare notes with former classmates whom they have not seen since the homecoming last year.
The Elks’ Club ballroom was the scene of last year’s homecoming dance also. According to those who selected it again this year, its accessibility its beautiful location facing Westlake Park, and the success of last year’s function are among the chief factors which influenced the "return engagement.”
Arrangements for the all-University Homecoming dance are being made by members of the A.S.U.S.C. social committee, under the direction of Catherine Colwell, vice-president of the student body. Martha Vv’iggett is in charge of the punch, Mary Main and Howard Edgerton of the decorations, and Walter Peck of publicity. Carl Plate is to supervise the placing of posters to advertise the dance. Vivian Page, of the College of Music, is in charge of the program for (Continued on Page Four)
Robert Gowder, Chick Galloway, Cecil Hoff, and Eugene Beattie.
Harry EdeJson is in shape for all kinds of work and will in all probability be used during the entire game. Charlie Boren’s knee is still bothering him but with a rest on the train and work on it by Janss Anderson will bring it back to first class shape. These two men in the line-up will add much power on both offense and de iense.
A big send-off is scheduled for the team as the Southern California pigskin toters and guarders leave the Arcade depot, Fifth and Central, this afternoon previous to the time the train starts rolling. Mr. Monahan, Southern Pacific agent, has promised the use of the station for as long as the students and ralliers desire. In other words, the place is at the disposal of Troy.
The Trojan special will consist of a ten coach train and will operate on the Golden State Limited schedule of 63 hours to Chicago. The route selected is a special one for the benefit of the team, as it follows the most southerly route, keeping tc the lowlands and warm weather as long as possible. The road is a scenic and educational one, passing thru the old Indian towns of Alamoquardo, Tucu-mari, and Oscura, New Mexico and Dal hart and Cuervo, Texas.
The Southern Pacific Company is sparing neither pains nor expense in making this train the finest ever sent on the road. It is a super-deluxe special, luxuriously equipped, barber (Continued on Page Three)
