Spurting to victory in the last third of the game. Southern California annexed the opening contest of the local collegiate ice hockey •'t-ason at the Palais de Glace, Friday afternoon, by a score of five to two. The last-minute mad scramble of the Trojans scored all of

scintillated individually and collectively throughout the afternoon, but rose to the occasion in the final session to contribute materially to a Cardinal and Gold victory.
FRANCIS TAPPAN Tappan demonstrated a rare style of goal keeping. The accepted form for players in this position is to wield a mean stick. No so “Tap”!
Whenever the little rubber disk came whizzing his way he went after it with both hands. That said hands failed to find it but twice showed bow effectively his system worked.
JOE WOODARD Woodard led the scoring for the Trojans with two points, the result of long, unassisted shots. He did not start the contest, but finished the fray in convincing style.
MORLEY DRURY Drury proved consistent at advancing the ball, time alter time during tbe first part of the game taking it down the" ice only to lose it when passes to teammates were intercepted. His goal was paved by a clever pass from Cohn Drury was a bulwark on the defense, while his pass to Cohn gave the Trojan center his chance to score. Drury’s pass to Bienvenue also resulted in the last (Continued on Page Three)
DR. BRUCE CURRY ELECTED CHAIRMAN
Is Honored At National Student
Conference; Will Speak On S. C. Campus.
Dr. Bruce Curry, who will lead a Bible Study Institute upon the campus on Saturday and Sunday, March 5 and G, had the distinction of being unanimously elected to the position ot chairman of the National Students' Conference held recently at Milwaukee.
Dr. Currv was elected to this position by student groups from all parts of the United States, and it is significant that he should be the unanimous choice. Several students from Southern California attended the conference at Milwaukee during the Christmas vacation, and their reports and endorsements of Dr. Curry are very enthusiastic.
. Plcns for the institute are being formulated jointly by the campus -Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. It is anticipated by those in charge that several hundred students will attend, from Southern California as well as well as from U. C. L. A and the California Christian College.
OF ADVERTISING IS DISCUSSED
Local Fruit Grower’s Manager Presents Problems in Address Before Commerce Group.
The budgetary system of advertising as followed by the California Fruit Growers’ Exchange was described Thursday evening by J. O. Cook Jr., assistant advertising manager, in an informal address before the local chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi, commerce fraternity.
Mr. Cook went into a thorough discussion of advertising campaigns, explaining the necessity of planning them several months or even years in advance so that space in the most widely circulated magazines can be secured. He also discussed the prob-le mof appeals to the public and some of the cost that is entailed in preparing pictures that will catch the eye, and copy that will engage the attention of the readers.
One of the most interesting features of the Fruit Growers’ Exchange is that they have no capital stock and carry on all their operations with borrowed capital, depending upon the year’s crop to reimburse creditors and provide a fund which will provide for internal expenditures.
Regarding the budget system, Mr. I Cook explained that the total worth of the year’s crop is estimated and then prorated among some thirty accounts. From the total sum that is appropriated for expenses .about two-thirds goes to advertising, one-fourth for educating the retail dealer, and the balance for sundry departments within the organization.
Southern California players broadcasted their regular weekly drama hour Thursday evening at 8 o’clock from KFI, presenting the one-act play, “The Bank Account.” The performers were Carol Greene, Lucile Taylor, and John McIntyre.
Appreciation for these bits of
drama is evidenced by the fact that the program for the preceding week brought two applause letters from Montana, two from Colorado, and scores from all parts of California. The School of Speech, under whose direction the plays are given, endeavors to vary the programs from week to week so as to appeal to a wide range of tastes.
Two plays will be given next Thursday evening at the regular hour. The plays which will be presented have not yet been selected.
MEETING IS HELD BY EX-COMMITTEE OF FROSH CLASS
Newly elected officers and members of the Executive Committee of the freshman class held their sec-<*id joint meeting Wednesday noon, to discuss the business to be carried on by the class.
As it was decided to have entertainment at every class meeting, an orchestra was engaged to play at the next meeting, which will be held at noon Wednesday. Means of collecting the dues were decided upon, and all chairmen and members of the various freshman committees were appointed.
ANNOUNCE PLANS FOR PRESS CLUB DINNER IN MARCH

BASKETBALL IS POORLY SUPPORTED
Loss is Sustained By Lack of Attendance During Recent Season; Attendance At Stanford Games is Largest.
Interesting Program Given By Southern California Over KFI
Because of a lack of student support, the university sustained a financial loss from the recent basketball reason, according to Arnold Eddy, assistant graduate manager. The games this year were very poorly
attended ,the average attendance being far below that of previous seasons.
About 2400 student activity books were sold at tbe beginning of this 6eme6ter, each of which contained tickets to the basketball games. The largest attendance this season was at the game with Stanford; at that time
only 600 students were present.
Mr. Eddy expressed the hope that the students will support the coming track and baseball seasons in a more enthusiastic manner. Student activity books contain tickets which will be honored at the track meets and baseball games.
The first meet will be with the San Francisco Olympic Club on March 12, at Los Angeles. On March 26, the 1'niversity of California will meet the Trojans in a dual track-feet at the Coliseum.
An hour of ballads, a radiotorial by Mrs. Laura Belle Dietrich ,and a short skit comprised the program given over radio KFI Thursday evening by S. C. in their weekly radio presentation.
The “Bank Account,” a short skit of English life, was presented under the direction of Miss Tacie Mae Hanna with a cast composed of Carrol Greene, Lucille Taylor, and John McIntyre.
Mrs. Laura Belle Dietrich, of the S. C. English Department, and a personal friend of John Erskine, used the radiotorial period in a criticism of “The Private Life of Helen of Troy,” his last book. Mr. Erskine was listening in from Nicaragua.
The music hour, from 7 to 8, presented Bud Penz .popular pianist; Howard Kerr, tenor .and Winnie Parker, Blues singer, in an hour of popular ballads.

" \ The following and others who are to take part in the exchange rally program with Pomona report today at 2:30 in Bovard Auditorium: Standholdt, Windborn. Pentr, Woodford, deLapp, Witty, Woods, Bryant, and Stoddard.
The question was put the other day as to how much a student could learn about the Chinese question by attending the debate between this University and U. C. L. A. I he question was easy, not because the speaker knew definitely what had been done on this particular debate but he because he knew the Southern California debating system.
*	* *
The debate is over now and this can be said without having any of the fatal aspects of “publicity.” There is probably no better way to get to the bottom of a subject than to attend such a debate, unless it is to put in the months of study and reading that would be necessary to cover the field gone over by the debate squad. And this would not likely be as satisfactory because instead of offering the audience the results of one individual’s reading, there is set forth in debate the facts accumulated by possibly a dozen students. Certainly, the easiest way to gecome informed on any subject is to spend an hour and a half at a good debate, where the important facts, boiled down, are presented by clever speakers.
*	* *
There was a time when a debate represented the work of four men, engaged in more or less brilliant repartee on a platform. Under the Southern California system the information that is at the finger tips of the men on the platform is not only what they themselves have acquired by reading, but what some six or eight other men on the squad have gathered and given to them in practice debates. In other words, when a Trojan team goes on the platform. it has available about all the information on the subject that can be obtained by reading and research. If the men lose, it is on their presentation, not because they are confronted by facts of which they had no previous knowledge.
*	* *
Before we leave the subject, it is in order to congratulate Art Syvertson and Bill Henley upon their victory over the Bruins Thursday night. It was a good debate and a close one and well worth attending. As we hinted the other day, there was a little more at stake Thursday night than there is in most debates. The men who won it should be accorded the same honor that comes to the halfback who saves a hard-fought game by a brilliant tackle in the last quarter. The loss of that debate would have cost the University considerable when it came to future decisions of prep school debaters trying to choose their new Alma Mater. More power to you, boys!
Senior Snap To Be Given On March 2
Eloise Parke Announces Social Committee and Semester Plans.

“Study of Various International Organizations in Europe” is Subject of Talk.
“The Study of Various International Organizations in Europe” was the subject of Professor J. Eugene Harley’s address to the Political Science Club at its special meeting last Wednesday evening at the Y. W. C. A. Hut.
Professor Harley based his talk on his experience in Europe last summer, where he was present as a representative of Southern California, under the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He visited The Hague and Geneva, the recognized centers of work on international relations.
“The chief interest of the members of the party centered around the admission of Germany into the League of Nations and the conference of the World Court delegataes, which was called to see what could be done with the reservations of the United States Senate regarding the adherence of the Republic to the World Court,” said Mr. Harley.
Another feature‘of the evening was a vocal solo by Miss Winifred South, who was accompanied by Miss Welcome Tilroe of the Southern California faculty. As part of the business connected with the Political Science Club, a new treasurer was elected, and Professor Roy Malcolm was elected to take charge of plans for a club picnic sometime in the near future. Plans were also made for a banquet.
CONSUL SPEAKS BEFORE CLASS ON ART OF JUI-JITSU
M. Oshashi, Japanese consul, who visited the campus recently .spoke to the class in jiu-jitsu Thursday noon.
Mr. Oshashi told of the importance of jiu-jitsu in Japanese education. It is a course required of all students in every school in Japan, since the authorities feel that the art of self-defense should be mastered by every youth.
“The one principle which we try to enforce most stringently,” asserted Mr. Oshashi, “is that of fair play, and we feel that jiu-jitsu is one of the finest ways in which to develop this admirable trait.”
“I am glad to see,” he continued, “the American schools are adopting our custom.

Myern Smith, U. C. L. A. orator, opened the case on the affirmative side of the question, “Resolved, that foreign governmental control should be withdrawn from China, legations and consulates excepted,” by painting a gruesome picture of unfair foreign control of the Chinese tariff, court systems, and concessions. He called upon his hearers to imagine similar conditions in the United States and asked his listeners if they would not revolt against the imposition of a similar system.
Bill Henley, first speaker for the negative, opened the defense of governmental control in China by saying. “Like the flapper, the control of the Powers is not as bad as it Is painted.” He next proceeded to demonstrate that alien control was limited and wherever exercised has brought the protection of law and being to tbe 300,000 foreign nationals in the Orient. This line of reasoning was followed up by this question: “If we are asked to relinquish foreign governmental control in China to whom shall we relinquish it?” Henley’s basic argument was (1) There are 300,000 foreigners in China; (2) Their only source of protection is in extraterritoriality, and (3) Relinquishment would mean the surrender of the pres-ent stable courts systems to five or six different war-lords.
Replying to Bill Henley’s question as to whom the affirmative would relinquish governmental control in China, Charles Shotland shouted: “The question as to whom we shall give up control has already been solved—it has been solved for us by the Chinese expelling such control. The question is, shall we take back previous concessions from which we have been driven? The entire presence of foreign control in China today is a myth—it no longer exists!”
At this psychological moment in the argument, Arthur Syvertson pointed out the fallacy of the affirmative contention in the ensuing words: “You will recall, ladies and gentlemen, that Mr. Smoth appealed to your emotions by saying that foreign governmental control in China is unfair. Mr. Shotland has just said that the whole thing is a but a myth. Now I really don’t know which of these gentlemen I shall debate, but I’ll take Mr. Smith.” This keenness in placing his opponents in a “hole” won the debate for Southern California.
Judge Wiliam M. Bowen presided at the contest. Charles A. Sunderlin, attorney; W. T. Newton, debate coach at Manual Arts High School, and Edmond Doran, forensic instructor at the John C. Fremont High School acted as judges.
