By BILL ARNOLD
In one of the greatest football battles ever staged at the Coliseum, the warriors of Troy wrung from the eager hands of a handful of hard-fighting, courageous Oregon Aggie gridders, a close 13 to 12 victory to take the first Conference game of the 1927 football season.
Maple of the Aggies started things off by returning Elliot’s kickoff 15 yards. Maple was held to five yards in two attempts and Luby was able to add only one. Twitchell punted forty-five yards to Saunders. The Trojans were penalized five yards for taking too much time before the next play. Lloyd Thomas made twelve yards on a reverse. The Aggies took time ouL Elliot made 8 yards and a first down. Edelson made three yards through center, but S. C. was unabie to do much on the next two plays, and Elliot kicked out of bounds on the O. A. C. 16 yard line.
Maple made six yards on a reverse, and Gifmore a first down through center. Several exchanges of punts put the ball in the Aggies’ possession, and they passed, Saunders intercepting for S. C. Elliot passed to Thomas for an eight yard gain. Thomas reversed his field prettily after the catch. A pass, Elliot to Steponovitch, put the ball on the 8 yard line. On the first play, Elliot went through tackle for a touchdown, and converted for the extra point
O. A. C. SCORES
O. A. C. scored later in the half when Drury’s punt was blocked on the Trojans’ 10 yard line and Robbins, Aggie end picked up the ball and raced to a score. Anthony blocked the attempted conversion.

“A”, fireproof structure, will be similar to the LawT building in design, and will cost in the neighborhood of $200,000. It is to have the same width in front as the Law Building but will be narrower in the rear.
Nevertheless it will have the same floor area, as the central portion of the building is to be four stories ana basement, with two three-story wings as compared with the two-story and basement of the Law structure.

COMMUNITY CHEST ASKS AID OF CITY
New Wampus Policy To Be Shown In Wednesday Edition
Inaugurating the new policy of having no special titles for the Wampus number this magazine will appear on the campus early Wednesday morning.
The staff of this number of the Wampus is the same one that Bryant Hale appointed last year, but the next issues will be published under an entirely different organization. Frofci the contributors for the number next month, the staff for the year will probably be chosen.
The selling of the Wampus is being handled by Paul Slater, and he has plans for putting the magazine on most of the IjOs Angeles news stands. Of course it will be sold on the campus first, and perhaps, if there are any copies left, it may be sold at the Bookstore after W’ednesday.
Besides the clever cover design by Gertrude Zipzer, two good short stories and four good features will be offered in the first number. Many original jokes and snappy cartoons will make the Warnus measure up to the standard of the best college magazines.
Publicity in the downtown newspapers during this last week has made the S. C. humor publication an especially desired magazine. The pictures of the editor and his “fired” staff have worked up an unusual interest in college circles.
Appealing to the citizens of Los 1 Angeles for the same loyal co-opera-i tion and support of the Community i Chest as given in other major undertakings of the city, H. V. Michener, i manager of the Western Electric Co. j yesterday accepted the post as ma-I jor of the telephone and railroad di-| visions for the annual appeal that I starts on Oct. 31.
“I feel very fortunate in having I had assigned to me as major, the [ telephone company and railroad companies in Los Angeles for I well know the “stuff" of which the employees of these companies are made,” Major ! Michener declared. “Their everyday life calls for a service to the public | and I will vouch for their wholehearted support of the work of the Community Chest.”
As a major in the fourth annual appeal for the $2,750,000 bare subsistence budget set for the maintenance of the 150 agencies in this district during the coming year, Michener wil have charge of solicting donatons for the cause from employees of the telephone and railroad companies in Los Angeles.

Remember, this strict program begins today and the Knights mean business, stated Eddie Oudermuelen. Knight president.

Three Changes in W.S.G.A. Constitution Up For Vote
New Rules Will Require a Scholarship Average of 1.5 For Presidents of Women’s Organizations.
Three amendments to the W. S. G. A. constitution have been proposed and will be brought up for discussion at the meeting to be held this afternoon by the cabinet, in its regular meeting fn the Women’s Residence Hall.
The changes of the three amendments are as follows:
That the constitution be amended to the effect that three tardinesses to cabinet meeting by a member shall constitute an absence; that when a member has incurred three successive absences she shall be notified that her mem-ebrship is automatically cancelled from the cabinet.
That the constitution be amended to the effect that the W. S. G. A. cabinet be given full power to fill vacancies in the cabinet if such offices become vacant after the beginning of the semester.
That an amendment be made t* the effect that the presidents of all women’s organizatoins whic1*. ar,e affiliated with the W. S, G. A. shall maintain a scholarship average of one point five, and tl-all members at least a one average.
It is felt that these three changes will materially benefit the association. In the past the questions of late entrance to and absences from meetings has been a pertinent one and it is generally conceded that a member shows a decided lack of interest if she is negligent in her duty to this extent.	,
The other two amendments v recitfy situations which the members feel need immediate readjustment. Discussion and probably voting will be held this afternoon in the regular meeting.

PERMANENT RECORD OF TROJAN HISTORY AND TRADITION NOW BEING COMPILED FOR S. C. FILES
Codification, explanation and incorporation into permanent record of all traditions, both all-University and for the independent colleges, is planned by the historical committee, of which Ruth Carr ~j 0 9s *7 +is chairman.
At the present time, there is no such record, and knowledge of these traditions is floating around the campus in the brains of those who have been closely connected with the university for a number of years.
Under these conditions .the student officials who come into office with only a few years direct contact with the institution do not know just what these traditions are. if any, and when they occur. When the permanent record which Miss Carr is planning is completed, officials of the associated student body and those of the various colleges will have an authentic source from which they may obtain the desired information.
Betty von KieinSmid, Kenneth Faulkner, Dorothy Bishop, Bill Ward, and Betty Hensel are the personnel of the committee. Miss Carr states that her plans include a representative from each of the independent colleges who will be a member of the committee to incorporate into th** record traditions relative to each group.
Betty Hensel represents the law student body at the present time while Dorothy Bishop is a member of the committee from music.
When the compilation is completed. Miss Carr states, attempts will be made to make copies of these tradi tions available to each student on demand. This will familiarize them with the traditions, their origin, thei development and the time when they occur and the formalities connected with each one.

Harold Grayson, and his twelve Trojan “Pep Installers” contributed much to the success of the affair with four saxophones, three trombones, violin, piano, drums, banjo, and horn. Songs by Tom Ritchie completed the musical entertainment.
All the campus colleges were present in large groups. The Dents led in numbers and the musicians held up the other end of the attendance. One of the main features of the rally was the “yell competition” between the various groups that were represented, since the greatest amount of applause and getting the best response from the audience were factors determining the selection of the yell leaders.
Paul Elmquist closed the rally with a few yells and a song, ”The Wooden Horse,” which is rapidly becoming one of the most popular S. C. songs.
