Participate in Rooting Section
For the first time in the history of SC., Trojan coeds will participate in the rooting section tomorrow dur-ing the Notre Dame game when they join with the men in yells and card stunts.
Twenty rows of seats directly behind the men's section have been reserved and it is expected that all women wlll conform with the regulations since it is through their requests that this new plan is being undertaken. These rows are only a few rows behind the former j women’s section and those that come early will receive the best seats.
Not only will it be compulsory for the men to wear white shirts and rooters caps, but women who attend the game must wear white blouses or shirts in order to form a white background for the stunts during the halves.
Nearly 50 rows have been included ln the stunts and because of this It Is Impossible to change the master sheets of the stunts at this late date. The 600 women rooters must come garbed as requested, according to Ed Hallock, yell king. Women will be asked to remove all hats and coats during the presentation of the stunts.
It is hoped that all women will cooperate with Hallock and help the rooting section to make its best showing that the university has ever given in the coliseum.
Clifford Hughes, president of the General Alumni association, which ls sponsoring Homecoming week, in the following statement welcomes returning graduates to the campus.
“It is indeed a pleasure for me as head of the General Alumni association of the University of Southem California to greet returning graduates in this special alumni edition of the Daily Trojan.
“Whether you were graduated In 1884 or 1934, I hope that you have returned to your alma mater to share in the events planned for you during this past week. The Homecoming committee hopes that you have entered into spirit of this festive occasion, and that it has brought back to you many valued memories of your undergraduate day in the University of Southem i California.
"Two more days of events are yet to come, the football dinners tonight and the football game and Homecoming dance tomorrow.
“Try to attend them, because they are the most Interesting and important events of the Week to those who have been out of school for several years. I hope that you have enjoyed the events which have already taken place.”
Germans Will Hold Christinas Dinner
A marionette show, songs, games, and dancing will be the entertainment following the Christmas dinner party to be given by the campus German club tonight.
The affair will be given at the Loreli Inn, 1975 West Washington boulevard. The dinner will be 60 cents. A Christmas and Teutonic atmosphere will prevail in decora-cicns and colors.
All students and friends are invited to attend. Anyone wishing transportation to the Loreli Inn is requested to get in touch with Hans Poppe. president of the German club, 106 Bridge hall. Reservations for the dinner may also be made through him.
Corsages Will Be Banned
Homecoming Week Climax Jo Be in Fiesta Room Of Ambassador
Definite assurance that the entertainment lined up for the annual football dance, to be held tomorrow in the Fiesta room of the Ambassador hotel, will positively appear has been announced by Ed Jones, student chairman for the affair.
The "Mystery Bard,’' whose anonymity has caused considerable speculation and comment on the S. C. campus, and whose name must be kept from publication because of contract arrangements with a locnl hotel entertainment spot, has promised definitely that he will present several of the numbers which have caused his name to become something of a sensation in local musical centers.
Corsages Barred
Jones also emphasized that corsages are under strict ban, although the dance will be semi-form al. The final social event of the fall calendar, the Homecoming affair will also climax Troy’s week honoring returning alumni.
Additional door prizes. Including a box of Grayco shirts, presented by Ashley’s, a sweater to be given by SUverwood’s, and a scarf from Phelps-Terkel, will augment the varsity blanket and the football signed by members of the Trojan and Irish teams. These prizes will be given the holders of the lucky dance bids. Tickets are on sale at the student store for $1.50.
Themes Combined
Using Christmas, Homecoming, and the Trojan-Notre Dame game as her theme, Betty Keeler has been in charge of decorations for the dance. The same motif was adopted by Dick Parker, chairman of the bids and programs committee.
More entertainment which has guaranteed to be present include Cleo Cornell, specialty entertainer with Ted Dahl’s orchestra, who will play for the affair, and special selections to be furnished by Ted Flo-Rito and his Cocoanut Grove orchestra, who will appear during the course of the evening.
Guests To Be Honored
Honored guests to be present will be Coaches Howard Jones and Elmer Layden; Russ Nixon, general student chairman, and Byron C. Hanna, general alumni chairman for Homecoming week.
Francis Cislini is in charge of locations; Paul Rousso, orchestra; Dale Hilton, reception; Jack Wilder, promotion; Ralph Butcher, refreshments; and Phil Juergens, publicity.

Notre Dame Will Arrive Tonight Primed for S. C. Contest
By Francis Benavidez
Seeking their first win over S.C. since 1930, the Fighting Irish, headed by Elmer Layden of Four Horsemen fame, who has produced remarkable results in his first year as mentor, will arrive this evening for tomorrow’s Homecoming contest in the coliseum. The kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m.
It’s a far cry from the days when the winner of the Trojan-Irish classic was usually adjudged national champion. Berth squads will be strlvlmr to crown mediocre seasons with success. During the Hunk Anderson regime, following the death of the Nordic wizard, Knute Rockne, the South Bend grid prestige waned. Layden, however, has brought his men back to the victory oath, losing only three games. This has been Coach Jones’ worst season since coming to Troy in 1925.
Rockne Style To Be Used
With how mutQ strength can Notre Dame wield its shillelah? This question has been bothering Southern California fans. Layden, copying the strategy of his late master,
Knute Rockne, has all but broken down and cried during the two days' nractice sessions at Phoenix, when asked about his injured players.
George Mellnkovich, smashing halfback. Jack Robinson, center, and Mlchuta, tackle, will probably start the tilt despite injures.
Cotton Warburton, colorful ballcarrier, has been chosen by Jones to be in the all-important signal-calling berth at the kickoff. He will be ably backed by "Bullet” Bill Howard and Davey Davis.
Seniors End Careen
Warburton leads a list of seventeen seniors who will culminate their football careers tomorrow. Capt.
Julie Bescoe, Cal Clemens, Inky Wotkyns, Herb Tatsch, Jimmy Webb,
Bob Fuhrer, Bob Wilbur, Alvie Coughlin, Jed Ostling, Francis McGlnley, Tony Beard, Hippo Harper,
George Lady. Gar Matthews, and Al Reboin along with the injured Ward Browning complete the list.
The Notre Dame seniors are Capt.
Dominic Valro, end, Rocco Schlralll, watch charm guard, Mellnkovich, right half, Dan Hanley, his alternate, and Sturla Cenale, sub left end.
Irish Rated Favorites
Entering the fray as 11-5 favorites, the Irish hope to annex the rubber match. Since 1926, the start of the series, each school has won 4 games. Troy has captured the last three.
Layden’s men have lost to Texas,
7-6, to Pitt, 19-0, and Navy, 10-7,

Davis Warns Japanese of Free'for-All Naval Race If They Violate Agreements
LONDON, Dec. 6—(U.P.)—Norman Davis, chief of the U. S. delegation to the preliminary naval conference, bluntly warned Japan today that if Tokyo abrogates the London and Washington treaties she may expect a Iree-for-all naval ‘	-^building race.
La Tertolians Will Celebrate Tonight
Honoring alumni members of La Tertulia and celebrating the breaking of plnata, Spanish students and their friends will be entertained at a Christmas party tonight at the Kappa Delta sorority house.
Esteban Pauli ada, president of La Tertulia, extends a cordial invitation to all students interested in Spanish culture and language and members of the Latin-American club to attend the affair.
Suspended from the ceiling, a hugh olla or plnata will be broken and the contents, gifts and dulces, will drop to the floor. Guests at the party will receive the presents from the plnata, as is the custom ln Mexico.
Mexican music and dancing will be an important part of the program, and professional Spanish-Am-erican folk dancers will be present at the party to give an exhibition. A committee composed of Mary Jane Alien, Jean Sheldon, and Marguerite Evans have made all arrangements for the affair.
He intimated strongly in an address before the Association of American correspondents that President Roosevelt is ready to go ahead with a naval construction program which will outstrip Japan ln building warships.
