THEY KNOW THEIR CARDS
FIVE QUEENS BEAT LONE JACK ANYTIME
Oregon Team Will Attempt Big Comeback on Coliseum Gridiron.
By BILL HARVEY
Some twenty-eight young farmr ers from the- wilds of Oregon make their first California invasion tomorrow, cherishing the hope of hog-tieing the “Thundering Herd” in the initial conference game of the year at the Coliseum.
Just one short week ago, these twenty-eight young farmers quite successfully submerged the California Agricultural College in a game that proved to be a fine Oregon Aggie workout. They tore around the ends, they smashed through the line and passed superbly. Then they yanked their regulars for fear of too good a crop and sent in the smaller and less experienced plowmen to finish the harvesting.
Since then, they have been more or less planning for a successful invasion still further south to take on Howard Jones’ alert pigskin packing artists. Whether they will be able to run and smash and pass against the Trojans in the first conference game as they did against the smaller California Aggie team will be a point of interest.
The Oregon Agricultural College is often known as the Beavers, and their pet name is certainly a deserved one. Like the beaver, who is reputed to be able to stay under water until the time for attack is at hand, so have the Beavers of Oregon stayed under water with their real team until the time to open up, which, incidentally, should be tomorrow.
HAVE HEAVY TEAM
That the Beavers are a heavy team is more or less taken for granted. That they are fast must also be a fact. They could not be slow with such men as Maple, Twitchell, and Luby in the backfield. Maple was one of the most feared backs in the conference last year and well deserved any credit that was given him. He is a great man on ffense. He is claimed to be even greater on defense. He plays and his chief duties are unlimited to traveling the ends, hitting the line, being on either end of a passed ball, and taking care of the punting end of the game. On defense he has a reputation of being one of the best line backers ever produced at O. A. C.
Adding this to the fact that Paul Schissler, head coach, is training his hopefuls in the art of calling signals (Continued on Page Three)
Two Banquets and Monthly Dinner are on Calendar of Events.
Plans £or the coming semester were outlined at the first Press Club meeting of the year, held yesterday noon at the Trojan office.
Two important banquets and a number of monthly -dinners are on the calendar, although dates for
them have not yet been definitely decided upon. According to Howard Edgerton, president of the Press Club a Homecoming banquet will be given during Homecoming Week, to which a number of prominent alumni now engaged in newspaper work will be invited as guests of honor.
An intercollegiate relations banquet is also being planned. The editors and managers of all the college i newspapers in Southern California, as well as the heads of all college or university departments of journalism in the Southland, will be asekd to attend this meeting. William May Garland .president of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. is scheduled to speak on the advant ages to be derived from an organization fostering closer relations between the editors of college newspapers published in Southern California. To make the contact necessary to assure the success of the banquet, an intercollegiate relations committee has been appointed, consisting of Walter Peck, chairman, Bernice Palmer and Mabel Russell.
Entertaniment for the banquets and monthly dinners is to be arranged for by an entertainment committee, consisting of Helen Sauber, chairman, and Ralph Flynn. Two other committees were also appointed by Edgerton. They are a social committee, of which Vivian Murphy is chairman and Karmi Wyckoff, Ruth Sharon, Bill Harvey and Leon Schulman. members; and a membership committee, consisting of Muriel Heeb, chairman, Sue Cables, Eunice Martin and Bill Foote.
In the course of the meeting, Edgerton pointed out that, under the Press Club constitution, any member who fails to pay his dues within a definite period of time after the first meeting of the semester, will be automatically dropped from active membership and will lose the privilege of voting.
Officers for this semester ai*e: Howard Edgerton, president; Vivian Murphy, vice-president; Mabel Russell, secretary; and Bill Ruyman, treasurer.
LIBRARY RECEIVES MANY LITERARY ADDITIONS
Many new books have been received in the library of the university since the beginning of the semester. Included among them are “The Glorious Adventure,” by Richard Hal-iburton; “Revolt in the Desert,” by T. E. l^awrence; and “Dawn", by Irving Bacheller.
Some of the non-fiction books received recently are: Lawrence Lyon's “Where Freedom Falters;” “The Borderland in the Civil War,” by Edward C. Smith; “The Adventures of Paul Bunyan,” by J. C. Bowman; Harlow Shapley’s “The Universe of Stars;” Yetas’ “Autobiographies;’’ and “America, Give Me a Chance’’ by E. W. Bok. These books should be of special interest to students because they are closely related to subjects taught in the university.
The new system of closed shelves in the collateral library is a great
improvement over the old system and is abe to meet the demands of the students better, according to the librarian in charge. The circulation in this department of the library on Monday as well as on Tuesday of this week exceeded the summer school circulation for any day during that session. Inasmuch as this is unusual it is thought that professors are asking for more collateral reading ma-tserial from the students this year than ever before, or that the students are becoming more conscientious in their work.
Another new system introduced into the collateral department enables students to draw books out for two hours at a time and to take them out of the collateral room during this time. This eliminates crowding in the collateral reading room, with its already limted space.
But nevertheless Paul Elmquist, arm-waving yell king extraordinary, seerr.s to be getting over instructions for his rooting stunts to Harriet Ha’uge, Betty White, Helen Hill, Sally Goodrich and Katherine Ault perched on Old College entrance from left to right respectively.
BUSINESS STAFF OF WAMPUS IS NOT FIRED, STATES PAUL SLATER, MANAGER HUMOR PUBLICATION
“My \\ ampus Staff has not been fired,” is the statement of Paul Slater, business manager, “and it will not be until I say so. My staif remains intact and I am asking for a personal appcarance of its personnel in my office some time Friday.” The entire editorial staff of the publication was recently fired by the editor, Bryant Hale, and this statement was made by Slater to prevent any misunderstanding concerning the status of his staff.
The action of Bryant Hale was taken | line cn their copy, because of the fact that the majority
of the members of the editorial staff turned their copy in over a month late. The change, however, will not prevent the Wampus from making its initial appearance on the campus Wednesday, as a new staff has been organized and is hard at work.
The staff will include a number of the old members as the editor stated that all those who had been fired could try out again if they were ready to work hard and observe the dead-
A slightly different policy will be inaugurated with the publication of the first copy Wednesday, as this year’s issues will not be named as they were last year. It is felt by the editor that the task of making all the jokes adhere to one idea is too difficult.
This year's plan gives a wider scope to the writers and Mr. Hale feels that a better magazine will result from this change.
S. C. WILL ASSIST COMMUNITY CHEST
Flans for the Community Chest campaign on the S. C. campus are going forward rapidly under the guidance of Bill Ruymann. chairman of the committee.
Although all final appointments to the committee have not yet been made, a meeting of all those who have been placed upon it so far, is call^kfor this noon at 12:20 in the offic^sf the president of the associated students.

Delta Sigma Rho ASSISTANT YEL KINGS TO BE Give Smoker For SELECTED; TROJAN ORCHESTRA S. C. Debaters WILL MAKE FIRST APPEARANCE
Approximately Forty Men Attend Meeting Wednesday Evening.
“Enthusiasm” was the by-word of the participants in the first smoker of the debaters Wednesday night at the meeting of Delta Sigma Rho, national debating fraternity. Approximately forty men attended the event, which was under the auspices of the forensic organization.
A substantial crew of speakers gave the prospective debaters the outlook for the coming season. The speakers were headed by Coach Alan Nichols, who presented the qualities that a debater should have.
The others were: E. Neal Ames, annual donor of the freshman debate trophy; Roland Maxwell, Bill Barber, and Ray Brennan, all former captains of the Trojan debate squad; Ned Lewis, former student president; Bill Henley, the present president; Stan Hopper, the present captain of the forensic squad, and Sam Gates, former manager of the squad.
Leo Adams, manager of the freshman squad, gave the schedule of the frosh team for the coming season. These debates are usually with the other frosh teams and with junior colleges of the south. The Ames freshman award is a cup to be presented at the end of each year to the winner of the contest which is under the auspices of the Delta Sigma Rho.
Stanley Hopper, captain, was very enthusiactic about the prospects of the team this year. The great number who appeared at the smoker and the calibre of the men both were indicative of a bright outcome for U. S. C. at the end of the season, Hopper stated. The enthusiasm of themen was also an indication of the prospects of the team, he added, Refreshmants were served the men.
REORGANIZE CHESS CLUB AT Y.M.CA
One of the enthusiastic newer clubs sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. is the “Chess and Checkers Club,' which is now being reorganized at the “Y” hut under the leadership of Stan Hopper.
Providing that sufficiently good players turn out at once, a team will be formed, and tournaments will be quickly arranged. Various other events, such as exhibitions of simultaneous play will be planned for later dates, and if a large attendance is secured, it is hoped that a strong club will develop.
Any students who desire to join the club will be heartily wecomed, and are asked to either sign up as soon as possibe at the “Y” desk, or to s^e Arthur B. Freeman, who is in charge of the membership drive. Those who play neither game will be welcome also, as members of the club will instruct anyone who desires to earn either chess or checkers. The first meeting of the club for this semester will be held in the “Y” hut on Monday, October the 10th.
Paul Elmquist To Direst Tryouts; Harry Coe Will Sing With Jazz Orchestra To Hold Rally at 10 A.M.
By KARlfti WYCKOFF
The first conference rally, for the S. C.-Oregon Aggies game tomorrow, will be held in Bovard Auditorium this morning in the regular limited period, from 10:00 to 10:15 o’clock, under the direction of Paul Elmquist, yell leader. Final selection of yell assistants, numbers by the 1 rojan orchestra, which has just been organized, and songs by Harry Coe, who will sing with the orchestra, make up the
rally program.
NEW COMMITTEE MEETS I CLASSES
First Attempt at Organization is Unsatisfactory, States Hopper,
Chairman.
The first meeting of the organizations committee, headed by Stan Hopper was held last Friday in the var-ious class rooms of the University.
This movement, organized by the executive committee, during Freshman week was not as successful as it was expected to be, according to Hopper, chairman of the organizations committee. The women responded to the aid offered them by this movement but the men did not respond very well, he stated.
“The immediate purpose of the organization is to acquaint the freshmen with the traditions and to cooperate with the yell king during the football season in his execution of bleacher stunts and serpentines after the games.
“It is not a movement to ‘instruct’ the freshmen in the traditions but to help them get better acquainted with their Alma Mater. It is a known fact that many freshmen coming to a
large institution of this kind are literally lost in getting acquainted with Coe according to enthusiasUrstate-
Paul Elmquest, yell leader, will have complete charge of the period. He will lead in the university songs and yells and will introduce the numbers on the program.
From the four assistants—Red Alberts, Gordon Pace, Bill Marvin and Walter Benedict—who survived the elimination tryouts last Friday, two regular assistants will be chosen by members of the executive committee today. Appearance, personality and the ability to get response from the students will be the basis upon which selection will be made. Their first real task of assistance will come at tomorrow’s game.
When Paul Elmquist goes north to Palo Alto next week the two assistants chosen today will have a chance to show their ability when they lead the Thursday morning rally and the Friday evening caravan rally. At the Stanford game they will assist Elmquist in the rooting section.
The Trojan orchestra, under the direction of Harold Grayson, will entertain the students with the latest in jazz music. The orchestra is composed of twelve men from the Trojan Band, which in itself should speak for their talent and ability. It is entirely distinct, however, from the symphony orchestra.
Harry Coe, jazz singer, will sing popular selections with the orchestra.
their new conditions.
“Instruction and guidance in getting placed in activities in which they are interested is one of the aims of the committee. If a man wants to get into debate it is the job of this group to give the new students th<' necessary information. If he is interested in some other activity he is given guidance into that channel,” Hopper stated.
The following men report to the Wampus business office between 11:15 and 12:15 or 1 and 2 o’clock today: Fisher Pain, John Dazell, Carl Rohr. Jack Morriss, Gilbert Pre-lusky. Jack Mushken, Carl Purcell,

SORORITIES OBEY RUSH RULES OF PAN-HELLENIC
Although some reports are being circulated about the	that cer-
tain sororities were guilty of systef ^ atically breaking rush rules durt the recent rushing season, the actual number of such cases is small, according to Josephine Campbell, President of the Panhellenic Council, who holds that each year the girls are becoming a little more accustomed to obeying the rules, and that they have tried this year more than ever to live up to the regulations.
Each sorority is allowed one vote in the Panhellenic voting system, and each one also sends two members to each meeting. These meetings are held on the first and third Mondays of each month, and the two representatives are: The rushing chairman, and a girl selected from the lower class members for the special
purpose of attending the meetings. Since absolutely no substitution is allowed in these cases, it is very necessary that the girls chosen not only be able but willing to attend regularly.
The policy of the Penhellenic is to promote friendship among the sororities, which is rather a difficult task, since up to the present time rivalry has prohibited friendly feel-ngs. The organization plays the same part among sororities, that is played by the Infer-Fraternity Council among the fraternities. An evidence of the fact that these two associations are attempting to coooerate is the work now going forward for their formal dance on the 22nd of this month, which is said to be one of the season’s most promising affairs.
