OF HOMECOMING CEEBRATION
Continuing the policy of last year, all the fraternity and sorority houses on the campus will be decorated for Homecoming Week, December 1, 2, 3. Two cups will be given for the best decorated houses, one for the fraternities and one for the sororities.
It is hoped by the committee that*----
the houses will bring out many new
features of decorations so that the alumni may have something novel to admire. Ed Ware has been appointed chairman to take care of all arrangements, and he can give any information concerning preparations. A committee is being formed to judge the various houses and will be announced shortly in the Trojan.
Plans are under way to have all houses on the campus hold open house for the three days of Homecoming anniversary. Both dormitories will be included in the celebration, for it is hoped t® have one of the biggest weeks of the year to welcome home the alumni of the University.

From the twenty-yard marker Drury took the ball over tackle for twenty-three yards. He shook off three tack-lers and was out in front when Meeker tackled him from behind. On the next play Saunders ran wild, car ing the pigskin for eighteen more.
Russ, like L'rury, was in the open when a stumble halted his ground gaining. McDonald intercepted one of Drury's passes to end the great drive.
A real Cougar march was halted in the second quarter when two passes failed and a place kick by Meeker from the forty-yard line fell far short.
A perfect rugby pass in the second period from Williams to Drury put the Trojan skipper out on the sidelines all by himself—that is, with the exception of Mr. A.

REPORT BIG GAME SATURDAY MORNING
Grid-o-graph Will Be Presented Under the Direction of Trojan Knights at Eleven O’clock.
Eleven o’clock Saturday is the time definitely set as the beginning of the play-by-play report on the S. C.-Notre Dame game at Soldiers’ Field in Chicago, Nov. 2G, according to Gwynn Wilson, graduate manager of the student body.
The grid-o-graph and program wilJ be under the direction of the Trojan Knights and will be held in BoVard (Auditorium, is the announcement made by Eddie Oudermuelen, president. He also states that tickets for this affair will be placed on sale today at the Students Store and may be had for a nominal sum. There is no limit to the number of tickets which a student may purchase. If there are any tickets left, they will be placed on sale to the public Saturday morning in the Arcade of the Administration Building at the same price.
Oudermuelen states that the assistant yell kings, Bill Marvin and (Jordan Pace, will be present and that in all probability Hal Grayson’s orchestra will entertain before the game and between halves.
Seeing the grid-o-graph will be much better and more exciting than hearing the game by radio, according to Eddie, as the report comes over a leased wire directly to Bovard Auditorium and the lights of the board not only show the exact number of yards gained but also who carried the ball and the kind of play used. It would be well for all those wishing to watch the game to be at Bovard Auditorium at 10:30 says Oudermuelen.

that an S. C. team has ever had.
Leading up to the big send-off, there will be an hour-long rally in Bovard Auditorium on Tuesday morn-ning at 9:30. A great deal of time and money has been spent in preparation for the rally, which will include motion pictures and a skit with a specially arranged musical score.

Miss Mahoney is comptroller for the California Tax Payers’ Association and will speak about her work and experience as a business woman.

SEND-OFF SCHEDULED FOR JEAM
Parade, Station Send-off and Bovard Rally are Items on Program.
A rally, flag raising, a parade and a station send-off will be held tomorrow when the Southern California varsity leaves for Chi-cago to meet the Notre Dame team November 26 on Soldiers' Field. This marks the second all-University send-off for the team this year.
The rally will be at 9:30 in Bovard Auditorium the parade will form at 3:30 in front cf the Administration Building on University Ave., the station send-off ia scheduled for 4:15 at the Southern Pacific Arcade station.
The Trojan Battle Flag will be raised immediately upon the conclusion of the rally from the top of Bovard Tower.
The complete program for the rally will be announced in tomorrow’s Trojan, states Shields Maxwell, chair man. It is of a nature, he stated, that has never been before presented at a university rally, and should excell all previous ones.
Classes will not be excused, is the emphatic statement issued by Maxwell, who is making it upon the request of President R. B. von KieinSmid. Classes at 9:CO o’clock will m«t as usual. They will be excused promptly at 9:30 of which fact the professors will have official notice.
The rally will open immediately peals and writs for at least two years, afterwards in Bovard Auditorium, and The first step in the proceedings will | wiU last until 10:15> when the Period take place when the City Planning	en<^- Promptly at 10:25 the
and its proteges have been victorious in other such conflicts in the past, and he predicts that in this instance the fraternities will net have to move. As instances of this, he cited the examples wherein the A.S.U.S.C. store was asked to pay restaurant taxes on the fountain and lunch-room ,and park taxes were sued for in the case of Bovard :''ield, when it was used for football games.
On the other hand, Professor Burby cf the S. C. Law School states that, in his opinion, the fraternities have only a fighting chance to retain their present houses. According to information obtained from past El Rodeos, the fraternity houses were not devoted to that use at the time that the ordinance was passed in 1922, and hence cannot escape their fate by that reason.*
FRATERNITIES OUTNUMBERED
Since the property-owners outnumber the fraternities by far, there is little hope that the limits of Zone A can be changed so as to exclude this
best hope for the fraternities is that the California courts will ignore the decision of the Nebraska Supreme

Should the worst come to worst, and the decision of the court be adverse to the fraternities, then they will be able to delay and stall along with ap-
Commission has its hearing this week. At present, the matter has been re-ferred to the zoning committee of the City Planning Commission.
Service has not been made as yet upon Delta Chi, its officials, or upon the owner of the property, though Earnest C. Carman, attorney for the plaintiffs states that service will be completed as soon as the proper persons are located. Chase Burns, president of Delta Chi, states that there has been no effort to serve him with any sort of notice, and until this is done, neither he nor the fraternity will take any definite step in defense, though a committee has been formed and an attorney engaged.
NO PLANS
Pi Kappa Alpha and Theta Sigma Nu are waiting and watching the outcome of the case with Delta Chi. Kappa Sigma refused to disclose any plans whatsoever.
According to Bovard, the administration is behind the fraternities, will help them in every way possible ,and will bend every effort to the end of preserving to the fraternities their present houses.

Morris Chain’3 publicity man. The play will have the requisites of a success: real fight, drama, sufficient comedy, and surmounting climaxes.
