WOMEN’S ORGANIZATIONS HAVE OFFICES IN UNION
That the freshman class of the S. C. Law School will donate a substantial amount to the Law School endowment fund was made certain at a meeting of the class held yesterday morning. Fifty dollars was the sura which each freshman pledged himself to subscribe upon gradua tion. The motion to adopt this tradition, which has already been followed by both the senior and junioi classes of the Law School, was carried unanimously.
The custom of subscribing to a school's endowment fund upon grad uation from that school has been widely adopted at eastern universi ties, notably Harvard, Michigan and other leading law schools. Those graduating from S. C. will subscribe directly to a law school endowmen\ fund, rather than to the general university fund.

STIFF FIGHT EXPECTED IN EPIC LOOP FRACAS
Game To Be At 8:00 O’clock; Will Initiate Athletic Relations Between S. C. and U. C. L. A.; To Be Held in Olympic Auditorium.
BY FRED CHASE
Southern California and the University of California at Los Angeles will initiate athletic relations tomorrow night in the Olympic Auditorium, founding what promises to become a great traditional rivalry between the two local schools. In addition to being
the first athletic contest ever held between S. C. and U. C. L. A., the conference basketball game on top will go fare towards deciding whether Leo Calland’s Trojan squad can reach the goal toward which it has battled so successfully this far in the season, the championship of the southern section of the Pacific Coast Conference.
Capt. Jack Brum r and his men must take two contests out of the four re maining on their conference schedule to put th’e title on ice.
START SERIES The series with the Bruins, starting tomorrow night and ending the following Saturday, offers three opportunities to clinch the title, and the Stanford game on Feb. 29 at Palo Alto offers the fourth.
The Bruins entered the Pacific Coast Conference on Jan. 1 of this year, and in their first campaign have reached a tie with California at Berkeley for second place in the basketball race, which S. C. is leading with a rating of .800. The U. C. L. A. outfit won two games from Stanford and one from the Golden Bears, dropping one to the Cards and two to Cal. Basketball has been a Bruiu specialty for some years, their teams having taken games from northern squads which overwhelmed Southern California, in the last three years.
Calland's men have by far the most impressive record, and the edge on the Bruins in size, but are not as consistent as Coach "Caddy” Works’ outfit. Coach Calland does not underestimate his opponents by any means. The Bruins have one of the best forwards in the country, In Jack Ketchum, captain. Ketchum took high point honors in the game won from the Bears, scoring 20 points. The Bruins starting lineup averages about 5.11 in height, and 160 in weight.
Troy’s basketballers are in top form, with no injuries, and there should be no alibis if they lose, according to Calland.
