Mammoth Send-off Rally Planned For Tonight
TROJAN SQUAD LEAVES FOR STANFORD BATTLE
Thundering Herd Rated as Underdog For First Time in Years; Palo Alto Jinx May Bring Another Upset of Dope Bucket.
By BILL FOOTE
Amid the frenzied cheers of some twenty-five hundred Southern
California rooters a fighting band of thirty-four of Troy's best grid
warriors left last night for the north to battle the Stanford Cardinals
tomorrow in the Palo Alto stadium, in the crucial test of he 1927
fooball season.
Spurred on by a determination to
wipe out the memory of two years of close defeat at the hands of the men from the farm the Cardinal and Gold warriors embarked on the special train in the best of condition and imbued with the idea of recovering the fruits of victory for their Alma Mater.
S. C. RATED LOW It is true that Southern California is rated as the underdog in the coming fray with the northerners, and that Coach Howard Jones will send a comparatively green team on the field when the opening whistle blows, but every one of the thirty-four players is In the best of shape, is inspired by the unquenchable fire of victory and confident ot the ability of the team to fight and win for Southern California regardless of the personal cost.
For the first time since the memorable victory over the Palo Alto squad in 1923, when the Trojans fought like wildcats to upset all the dope by emerging the victors the dope by emerging the victors by a 14 to 7 count, the Southern Califoria team is rated as the underdog against the Cardinals. Even as their predecessors, the warriors of Troy can upset the dope and once more prove victorious over the Warner squad.
When the two squads line up tomorrow, the Southern California forces will in all probability be headed by Captain Morley Drury, Troy’s fighting captain who will run the team from the quarterback position. As the majority of the offensive tactics of the S. C. machine center around the signal caller. Jones will have Howard Elliot, Don Williams and Rocky Kemu to hurl into the fray when Drury has tired of making touchdowns. “Four-yard” Edelson will carry the brunt of the plunging duties at fullback with Max Thomas to spell him should the Stanford line prove tough. Lloyd Thomas and Russel Saunders will park at the halfback berths, the former being used as an interference man and a pass receiver and the latter for interference almost exclusively. Bonham, Laisne, Ryan, and Moses will probably see action when Thomas and Saunders are resting.

Cards Make Many Plans
Great Preperations Going on at Palo Alto, States Draper, President.
That extensive plans are being made for the reception of the visiUng Trojans in Palo Alto Saturday, was the message of Murray Draper, President of the Stanford Student Body in a talk at yesterday morning’s rally before the largest assembly of the year. “The rally committee, the executive committee and the student tody as a whole are doing all in their power to make the Trojan’s visit. to our Universtiy as pleasant as possible,” stated Draper.
Talks by President von KieinSmid was stressed the importance of good sportsmanship and fair play as well as a fighting spirit on the northern pilgrimage, and by Dr. Carl T. Knopf, were also features of the occasion. Dr. Knopf cited instances of Trojan history and quoted ancient Egyptian battle slogans, which he stated might prove appropos in the present conflict. The ancient yells, written on small blocks and thrown at the players, were such as this, “May the chatmpion choke to death before the battle,” and ‘“May the champion get a cramp,” Dr. Knopf suggested that with a little modification these same slogans might be made to fit the present needs, changing them to read, “may the fullback get a cramp,” etc. Captain Morley Drury, in a brief talk, urged the students to fight for the team by rooting and the display of the unbearable spirit of Troy.
The final number on the program was a play put on by members of the ; rally committee called “King Priam’s ; Dream,” representing the King of Troy on the eve of a great conflict.
I The King summons various sooth-j sayers to fortell the outcome of the 1 battle and various scores were prophesied to the wrath or joy of the ] king according to the degree of suc-(Continued on Page Two)

STUDENTS STORE OFFERS REBATE OF TEN PERCENT
AH students may obtain a rebate of ten percent on articles purchased at the Associated Students’ Store by asking for a rebate check at tbe time of purchase, according to Dean L. Fisk, manager of the store. Rebate clikce sare called in at the end of each semester and the rebates are given at that time.
Mr. Fisk points out that if rebate checks were given miscuously on e!ach purchase, those purchasers who did not want them would throw them in the street and thus enable snipers to cash in on them. Therefore, students desiring this rebate must ask for it. All rebates that are not called for go automatically to the Associated Student Body, he said.
The store is owned by the students themselves and Its primary object is to serve, according to the manager. It offers such free sendees as cashing students’ checks in five dollar
amounts, binding theme covers, maintaining a lost and found department and an information desk, and loaning banners and* pennants for all university affairs.
Fisk states that the store hopes to move to its new quarters in the Students’ Union Building during Christmas vacation. The book store and coffee shop will occupy the entire ground floor. After the store is in its new quarters, it plans to carry books other than text books, sporting goods ,and toilet articles.

It Is the aim of the Freshman Club to sell the flowers to every woman going to Stanford, so that she can be easily distinguished from her northern sisters.
“Get your flowers now from the Associated Students’ Store, from the University Book Store or from the *Y’ ”, staJt es Carroll Wiggs, who is in charge of selling the flowers. “They are inexpensive, attractive, durable, and distinguished-looking. Orders for flowers are being taken at all sorority houses.”

EX-COMMITTEE APPROVES PLANS
To Hold Contest Between Speech Officials and Student Officers.
Plans submitted by Doris Crook-Johnson, Betty von KieinSmid and a change in the system of selling tickets for the California game met with the approval of the executive committee in its meeting last Tuesday evening.
Miss Johnson, representing the student body of the School of Speech, laid before the committee in her report plans for a sontest to be staged by the speech officials and student officers. The committee gave Its unanimous approval for the plans. Details of the nature and purpose of this contest will be announced later, according to the report of Miss Johnson.
Representing the Trojan Amazons Miss von KieinSmid presented a report and asked for the committee’s opinion on plans for the Trojan Knight-Amazon dance to be given this month. After some discussion the committee voted to accept the plans 4s outlined. The Amazons and Knights will announce later the important information concerning this affair.
President Henley asked for the opinion of the committee on the system which is now in force for the sale of football tickets to the California game. It was explained that, due to the fact that many students cannot afford to buy student activity books and that many can attend only one game in the season, and that, preferentially, the California game, the ruling requiring the presentoin of activity books for the purchase of' these tickets had been laid aside this month. The sales are made, it was explained, on the presentation of the student identification card only, and that the tickets sold for the regular price of rooters tickets. This opens approximately a thousand seats to these students, it was stated. After mu«h discussion upon the relative merits of such a system and the possible influence which it might have on the sales for next year, the com mittee decided to approve and so voted. The sales for the G&lifornia game under this system had been under way for a week or more before the matter was presented to the committee.

From Palo Alto to the Stanford stadium the caravan will turn into a migration of individuals making their respective hegiras to the game.

C. band and under the direction of the two yell assistants, Bill Marvin and Gordon Pace, university songs and yells will express the spirit of Troy for hte Stanford game. Paul Elmquist departed with the team last night to lay out his plans for the roting section.	t
After the rally the gates will be opened, alowing all the students to go on the tracks. Those leaving will board the trains between 8:30 and 9:00 o’clock, and those stayUvg in Los Angeles will have a chance to stage a farewell party for the rooters.
The rally committee urges all students expecting to leave on the trains to be at the st?t!on at 8:00 o’clock to allow plenthj r.f time for the rally and to give themselves plenty of time to find their respective'trains.
HAVE TEN ORCHESTRAS Ten orchestras have been secured by Harold Grayson from among the members of the band. Two will be detailed to each train wher^they will furnish dance music in the special cars arranged for the purpose by the railway company.

Sophs Decide on Sweaters
Will Be Placed on Display in Arcade of Administration Building Monday.
Combining a decision of class sweaters and class colors in one vote, the sophomore class, yesterday, made the final choice of their class insignia, in their second meeting of the term.
The colors of the sweater, orange and blue, will be representative of the class during its entire college career. The sweater, itself, chosen from thirty samples presented by various knitting mills and haberdasheries in Los Angeles, will be ordered from Silverwood’s, the same concern which has been supplying sweaters in the past. It is to be a silk and wool mixture, thus making it not too heavy a knit for the girls and not too light for the fellows. Any type of neck desired by the individual, round, “V”, or crew style, may be specified when the order is taken. »The price of $5 is wholesale, the sweater retailing at $8.50.
A glass case is to be placed at the entrance to Bovard auditorium, with the sample sweater in it, and a Hag stating the price, and the places where orders may be taken, Which will probably be in the Arcade. If the orders are prompt in coming in, the sweaters wiil be ready for the use within three or four weeks, ac-cordnig to Leo Adams, class president. Representatives from each sorority and «-aternity will be chosen to ti^ke charge of orders from all sophomores in each hoif5£.
Plans are also being made for a sophomore hop, to be held Nov. 4, at one of the fraternity houses. The social committee is now being chosen by the vice-president, Lorraine Young, and anyone having special aptitude in this line or desiring to aid in the social affairs of the class is asked to see her at their earliest opportunity.	\
WOMEN HAVE ROOTING SECTION AT GRID GAMES
Beginning with the Stanford game and continuing at all other contests thruout the yea^the co-eds of Southern California win be organized into a rooting section of tneir own, according to Paul Elmquist, yell king.
“From now on,” stated Elmquist, “the co-eds may yell and sing to'their heart’s content &t the weekly grid games. The girls have been asking for a rdfcing section for some time and at the forthcoming contest an opportunity will be afforded them to prove the idea practical by turning out en masse to all games.”
An exceptionally large crowd is expected at the California game which Is the only game of the year for which students may purchase tickets without the student body book, the only requirement being the presentation of a student body identification card. Elmquist expects as many women as men to be in attendance at this game and an attempt is being jnade to have the girls’ rooting section well organized
by this time.
At present the Amazons are discussing a hat for every girl in the section to wear, and according to Elmquist all suggestions pertaining to this hat, or anything else of the sort, will be welcomed by Betty Farmer or any member of the Amazons. Something economical and distinctiveis wanted. Some of the suggestions being considered at present are: a hat that is reversible, red and gold, made of felt, and possibly one that could be obtained ready to wear or could be taken to a shop and formed to fit the head. The latter idea would allow a girl to make her Trojan bonnet distinctive and as becoming as she wished. Elmquist states that these hats would be inexpensive and worth the money if they were only worn to the games. There is no doubt, however, according to some of the girls interested in the question, but that the hats would be worn at other times, and prove exceedingly practical.
