Long Trip May Cramp Style of Team; Defeat by Army Spurs Irish.
By BILL HARVEY
A few hundred miles from Los Angeles, headed for Chicago, is a group of hearty young men, football men of Southern California, who will take on Knute Rockne’s talented class of pigskinners in that city Saturday.
That group of young football players left here last night to go east and tackle one of the strongest teams in the entire nation. They are making the two thousand mile trip against j football training quarters of 1900, with
OVERFLOW OF TROJAN SPIRIT SHOWN IN NOTRE DAME RALLY; STARRED BY COLLEGE TABLEO
A tremendous overflowing of the old-time spirit of Troy marked the rally celebration yesterday morning at 9:30 o’clock in Bovard Auditorium. The Chapel rally, preparatory to the big send-off for the team in the afternoon, was the finest and peppiest one of the term. All 9:00 o’clock classes were cut short so that the rally might begin as promptly as possible at 9:30. The entire auditorium was darkened at the entrance of the students, and moving pictures of the Notre Dame-Navy game were presented.
The remainder of the program con-*-

DUCATS GO FAST; 300 FORSALE
Annual All-U. Homecoming Dance To Be Given in Elk's Club Ballroom.
Chain, which described the history of football, and which was given in a series of unique tableaux.
Charles Wright, impersonating with singular effect, the character of Old Father Time, read the story, which was punctuated by the playing of Harold Grayson's orchestra.
The first tableau represented the
great odds. Firstly, they are playing a great team Secondly, they are riding out of southera California sunshine right into Ctlcago, the Windy-City. Thirdly, they are minus the services of Don Williams, who raised havoc with the Irish last year.
In regard to the first hurdle, Notre Dame has been beaten this year, and beaten badly by the Army. They lost one game last year, to Carnegie Tech., bat they went through the final part of the year in great style. Their play here against the Trojans will verify that statement. During the past few years Notre Dame has ended its seasons with a clean slate, and they have never, during these past few years lost more than ONE game. If past performances count for anything, the Irish SHOULD win.
Traveling two thousand miles and arriving at the scene of the game only a few hours before the battle may be a handicap to the Trojans. Either the Trojans will get off the train fagged and tired a«d tired after a long trip, or they will be so full of pep that Coach Jones w*ll have a tough time to keep tab of them until the game.
It will be one or the other.
The third obstacle to confront the Trojans is the absence of Don Williams, flashy quarterback. Williams Is the one man on the team that ran through and around the Irish last year. He was expected to do do the same this year. His work has been greater than ever, and his work in the backfield with Drury has given the Trojans tremendous drive. It was Williams whom Jones planned to hare tear into the Couth Benders’ liBe after Captain Drury had done his work. But Williams will not be among those present, and so it will be up to the other quarterbacks to reel off the necessary yardage.
Elliot, Kemp and Moses will have to take the burden. Any of these men if they are right can play faultless football. Elliot when he is right is not to be stopped. Kemp is light but fast.
The return of Harry Edelson to the lineup gives the Trojan rooters a chance to sit up and say a few words. Edelson has been given the title of “Pour Yard” for the main and simple reason that that amount of yardage he can be depended upon almost every time he packs the ball.
Howard Jones is evidently taking no chances with injuries. He has taken three complete elevens, although it is probable that less than two teams will see action. Weather conditions will count heavily in the game. A too cold day will hurt the Trojans, a too wa.m day would probably hurt the Irish. But from Chicago history, thore will not be a chance for it to be the latter. A temperature of about fifty degrees is expected, which somp thirty lower than the invaders
are accustomed to play.

a huge keg of beer in the center of the stage. The second showed Yale, the third Prniceton, featuring a portrait of Woodrow Wilson, and the. fourth “Hahvahd,” with Leo Harris In the character of a mighty gun-wielding Pilgrim Father. Notre Dame was represented by Burton McKen-nell in a distinctly Irish costume and pose.
A tableau Western football showed the haughty Stanford and muscular California men, gazing with contempt at a miniature Trojan player. Best of all was the ‘‘Spirit of ’27,” when a mighty Trojan in glittering armor was shown in an attitude of defiance astride a beautiful war horse. Ralph Claire and Mack Machnis were responsible for the settings of the other tableaux.
The horse in this last tableaux was “The Arab” which belonged to Rudolph Valentino before his death and played with him in his picture “The Shiek”. At the present time it is owned by Marco Heilman. The latter is a loyal Trojan rooter and was among the donors of the original land grant for this university.
The Trojan on the horse was portrayed by Jim E. Watkins, the only one allowed to ride “The Arab” by Mr. Heilman. He is an officer in the county motorcycle patrol and donated his time to the Trojan rally. He played football for seven years on the Georgia Tech and Army teams before taking his present position.
Burdette Henney, as a radio announcer, gave a thrilling account of the game-to-be, and the assembly concluded with the triumphant yelling under the leadership of Paul Elmquist, and the throwing of serpentine.

Candidates from S. C. for the Cecii Rhodes scholarship will travel to San Francisco on Dec. 11 for final try-outs before members of the general scholarship committee, according to a notification received here by Dr. Allison Gaw. of the English Department from F. P. Griffith, esq., secretary of the committee.	e
Jeffrey Smith and R. Allen Behrendt graduate students, are S. C.’s candidates. In company with all other aspirants for the scholarship from this state, they will be summoned before the committee on the 11th to be questioned individually by the members during an all-day session. In the evening of the same day, the men are to speak at a dinner given in their honor. Announcement of the award will probably be made the following morning, Dec. 12.
Approximately twenty-five students are contestants for the scholarship as representatives of various California colleges and universities. From this number, one man will be chosen on the basis of his scholastic standing, personality and ability as a leader, and his interest in athletics.
The scholarship provides for three years of study at Oxford university, but only if the candidate successfully carries on his studies during his first year of residence in England.
Thirty-two men are sent there yearly from the United States by the Rhodes scholarship fund, each state being allowed two representatives in Oxford at one time. Thus, two-thirds of the states of the Union elect candidates every year. Committee members, before whom the contestants try-out, are in all instances former Rhodes scholars.

squad will be held Dec. 1 at 4:15 in Hoose 206, with Coach Allen Nichols acting as the only judge of the candidates. This is the last and only opportunity to make the debate team, stated Eleanor Veale, manager of the Women’s Debate squad.
The topic which is to be discussed by those trying out for positions on the team will be the foreign investment question. At the present time eighteen have signed up to try out, and those eighteen women will find the position in which they 3peak posted on the door of the debate office.
The office hours of the Women’s forensic officers are on Monday at 2:15 and on Friday from 10 to 12. Anyone wishing to get further particulars about the tryouts may see the managers or assistants in the office, which is located in Old College at that time.
Anyone who has the temerity to announce that a metropolitan university cannot generate true college spirit hereafter can be considered a fit subject for any of our leading institutions for the demented. Yesterday evening’s send-off rally for the Thundering Herd at the Southern Pacific station was by far the greatest thing in the way of a rally this University ever has done. And it goes without saying that no other institution could ever have staged a better one.

At present the tickets for the Washington game are going rather slowly. All of the mail orders and the applications have been filled and distributed. Yesterday additional rooter’s tickets were placed on sale at the students store and according to all reports the sale is rather brisk. At Dyas’ the remainder of the tickets that were left after all the orders had been filled were placed on sale. The ends of the coliseum have yet to be sold and as they comprise the greater portion of the coliseum, the game is far from being sold out. It is expected though that these will be gone by the first part of next week at the latest.

Y. Will Give “Turk” Feed
Dr. and Mrs. von KieinSmid To Be Guests of Honor; All Students Invited.
Many students are eagerly expecting to resume their place at the family table for Thanksgiving dinner but some there are who must remain with in the walls of Troy. But fortune has not fully forsaken them as a place is being prepared for them at the annual Y. W. and Y. M. C. A., Thanksgiving banquet.
This informal dinner will be served in the Women’s Residence Hall at 6:30 o’clock Thursday evening. President and Mrs. R. B. von KieinSmid are numbered among those who will be the guests of honor. Following the dinner a program will be presented. A speech appropriate for the occasion will be given by Dr. von KieinSmid.
The College of Music will provide the musical numbers for the evening. Comprising a part of the program two small Japanese children, dressed in their native costumes will give a dance typical of their country. The autumn atmosphere will be caried out in the table decoration.
Since this banquet is for foreign students as well as American students reservations may be made at the Y. W. C. A. I^odge or at the Y. M. C. A. Hut as late as tonight. Tickets are seventy-five cents per plate.
A program has been arranged by the Trojan Knights for this celebration of the game, but the complete numbers are not ready yet for publication. Harold Grayson’s orchestra will play popular selections before the ;ame and between the halves as part of this entertainment. It was hinted, however, that the entertainment would consist of prominent artists from downtown.
The grid-o-graph is at the present time the property of the university and student body. It was .purchased some time ago through the influence of Gwynn Wilson, graduate manager, who secured it for the purpose of reporting out-of-state games participated in by the S. C. varsity.
The funds raised from the sale of these tickets for the reports to be given Saturday will be added to the payments already made on the machine, he states. The instrument was purchased last year when Southern California traveled north to Oregon to play with that institution on their own field.
At that time the grid-o-graph was installed in the Philharmonic Auditorium where a howling mob of football fans of the general public and students from S. C. rallied to the support of the team.
