CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED
Already, considerable usage has been made of the contest box stationed in the Student Store for the express purpose of receiving contributions ot those using their orig. Inal ity and imaginative ability to sceure the prizes. Several yells have already been received but tlie songs are evidently still in the process of composition.
More yells, particularly are wanted In order to uuike the competition worthy of the prize which is decidedly attractive deskset which would be an asset to any college man or woman's room. Deon Fiske of the Student Store is aiding the contest by offering the prize. Another trophy is to be given for the best song submitted.

November Dig For S. C. Only
All students who attend the November “dip” that will bo given on November 4 must show their student body books at the door before they will be admitted. The purpose ol’ this, according to the committee in charge of the monthly all-university dances, is to keep the large number of oft' campus people from attending the university affairs.
During the past dances the floor has been too crowded, Is the statement given out by Dorothie Smith, vice-president of the Associated Students. All men must pay 25 cents in adit Ion to showing their student body book.
Ray Hatfield’s seven-i)i°ce orchestra will furnish music for the evening. The same informality that is characteristic of these dances will be dominant at the second "dig” of the year.
CARNEGIE TECH DUCATS
Orders are being taken now for the Carnegie Tech football game ou December 14 and all applications must be in by November 16. Students should tend to this soon for they are expected to go fast when once on sale.
Special to Trojan Seattle, Oct. 23 — Coach Enoch Bagshaw of the University of Washington resigned this afternoon. The resignation was to be effective immediately. A. S. U. W. officials accepted and tendered him a check for $16,000, the amount due on the balance of Bagshaw’s contract. The coach, however, will continue in his capacity until the end of the present season.
Coach Bagshaw, who has been a stormy petrol in northwestern football affairs for the last two years, has turned in his resignation. He will continue to perform his duties until the end of the year when a new coach will appear at the Seattle school, one of the lagest on the Pacific Coast.
MANY POSSIBILITIES Leo Calland, well-known to all Southern California students and who is now at the University of Idaho, has been prominently mentioned for the position that seemed certain to be vacated at the expiration of Bagshaw’s current contract with Washington. The early resignation of Bagshaw at a time when Calland is only in the midst of his first year of coaching at the Vandal’s institution appears to lessen the former Trojan’s chances of stepping into a new job.
“Tad” Jones, brother of Howard and famous as the coach of Yale, is another prominent mentor who has been featured prominently as a possibility. “Slip” Madigan, Notre Dame graduate, who has had a successful career at St. Mary’s is favored by many to follow the resigning of Bagshaw. Many other favorites have been brought forward, among them being even Knute Rockne of Notre Dame.
START OF TROUBLE The Bagshaw trouble at Washington gained national prominence about two years ago when, after considerable publicity, nearly half of the student council of the Husky school voted to break the former Everett high school coach’s contract. Bagshaw, although asked, refused to resign under fire, and stuck to his guns with a considerable backing of both students and alumni.
His greatest team at the northern university was the one on which George Wilson starred and gained all-American honors. The Huskies won the Pacific Coast championship that year and lost to Alabama in the Rose Bowl by one point.

It was recently the scene of one of the most successful fraternal affairs of this semester, aud lt is the unanimous opinion of the students that it will provide a picturesque setting for the dance.
Since the freshmen are thu hosts of the occasion, they are responsible for the financial backing. Oscar Wiseman, secretary, is receiving wonderful co-operation from the students in collecting the class dues immediately It is hoped that every member of the freshman class will become a member of the association. To belong to this group it is necessary to pay class dues which include tickets to the dance. This plan should enable each freshman to attend the aftir.
The alumni have expressed thelr appreciation of tlie invitation to meet with the undergraduates, and a representative number of the alumni, which includes prominent attorneys and judges, will be present.
The upperclassmen are enthusiastically awaiting the opportunity to buy tickets to the dance, and it ls expected that they will be on sale very shortly.
