HISTORY CLASS SEES PICTURES OF TROJAN’S ROOTING SECTION
Professor Musatti Shows Pictures of Famous Rooting Stunts During Class Hour; Burdette Henney and Morgan Cox Give Explanations In Place Of Titles.
By FLORENCE GALENTINE
Many ardent Trojans who had never seen the Southern California rooting section in action were afforded an opportunity yesterday to see moving pictures of the recent Notre Dame-Southern California foootball classic, when Professor James Mussatti followed an arduous Constitutional History examination by the presentation of the film.
BAND TACTICS SHOWN
Those who had attended the game, that is now a part of history, felt that they were seeing those thrilling moments over again as the scenes were reeled off. Among the main features of interest were the stunts of the Southern California rooters and Harold Roberts’ renowned Trojan Band.
There being no titles or sub-titles. Bjrdette Henney, yell king, explained the views. During the interval between halves the rooting section formed with cards a green shamrock, the "four horsemen,” and spelled the words "Notre Dame" in honor of the visitors. The famous Trojan war-horse, that wagged its tail, kicked with its feet, winked coyly at the opponents, and bravely upheld S. C.’s side of the conflict, was also flashed upon the screen.
At the signal from the yell-leader, out marched the band, some members wearing the popular collegiate suits, some the regular uniform, and others dressed in semiJrish costume. The skillful leadership of Harold Roberts was graphically shown and the clever tactics of the mascot leader were featured prominently. Great excitement prevailed when each touchdown was made and those seeing the picture could almost "hear” the yell ing that ensued!

Truth and humor are mixed in the way a lot of us college students regard our football teams. Quoting from an eastern college
magazine: “For to - men
their team is something vital. It stands in their estimation as the incarnation of the glories and the trials, the final triumphs and the inevitable defeats of their school. ■They see in that mighty spirit
the hands that have built the
walls of-the minds that have
slaved upon its problems, the lips have prayed for the school and for them. ... In that spirit they find the souls of the saints who have drudged that they might live to the full, and the souls of long-forgotten men who fought on the field of blood that-
might have a good tradition. And they find in that spirit a courage and a self-socrifice, a love of good and scorn for evil that God and his Human Mother lend to the
armies of-.”

Yes, there is truth in that. That is why we believe in football and rooting sections for men who do not play the game. They do get something out of it that is worthwhile. But it is also funny when we over-do a good thing. We have heard this same “line” from other universities. And we have heard of the students of this and the other universities getting by with practices that make such a use of the name of God a sacrilege. Let’s say that the football men may set an example of clean, hard fighting, but let’s not have them going down in glorious defeat on fields of blood that the souls of saints may live on forever and all that kind of rot.

It rained yesterday. This no news, but it made news pretty hard to get. It was no fun tramping through the rain to the Trojan office on Jefferson street to hand in a little paragraph on not much at all. But that is the kind of spirit that puts out newspapers. Last night at five o’clock there were eight people in the Trojan office, grinding out news to make this issue possible. On Friday afternoon, when the rest of the campus was off for the week-end, one of the reporters remarked, “This is a tough grind, but the paper must come out.”
Yes, the paper must come out. The game can be called on account of rain, the play postponed, even the recitation cut, if not too often. But the paper must come out. We are waiting the result of the faculty action on our recent petition for grade points. Will the journalists get theirs, or will they continue to plug away, for the “honor” of the thing?

Once again Dame Rumor has entered our happy family to stir things up unnecessarily. We were startled yesterday to hear that the tuition had been raised fifty dollars for next semester! It was hard to see how this could be, so the thing was narrowed down to a ten dollar raise. But (Continued on Page Four)
