Starting on the third floor from I an unknown cause, lire partially dels troy ed the Kappa Alpha, southern, j fraternity house at S32 West Adams ’street last Friday afternoon. This is the fourth fraternity house to be vithin a week. The Sigma Alpha Epsilon house was destroyed on Tuesday and sparks from it ignited the roof of the Theta Sigma Nu house, causing a $500 damage, and burned part ot the roof of the Pi Kappa Alpha house with minor damage.
The extent of the damage could not be ascertained at a late hour Friday, but much of the house was damaged, as was the residence of Mrs. Caroline H. Hager, next door, at 818 West Adams. The third floor of the K. A. house was completely destroyed, as was much of the second floor. Nobody carried any personal insurance but the house was partially covered.
MEN EATING LUNCH The men of the fraternity were having lunch with 15 California men as their guests when somebody passing by rushed into the house and informed the group that the structure was ablaze. The men hurried upstairs to salvage their belongings but were forced back by smoke. Bill Bradbury, varsity track man, seeing the situation immediately retraced his steps and went around to the fire escape and climbed to the third floor, where lie gained entrance through a window. He began throwing tlie clothes in the room out of the window and salvaged any football ticekts he could find. He left the

S. C. has the greatest football team of any In the country,” won the words of Coach Alan Nichols in his pep talk to the student body during the California pep rally in Bovard auditorium, Friday mornhig.
Nichols paid his respects to Nibs I rice when he said that he was ou*-ranked as a gentleman and a sportsman only by our own Coach Howard Jones. He spoke also of the qualities of the Bears’ captain, rioy Riegels.
The winners of the song and yell contest were presented with their respective trophies by Sam Newman.
Phil Stitt woa the loving cup which was offered through the rally com- uje mittee by the J. A. Meyers company for the best song, and Karl Hupp won the desk set offered by the Student Store for the best yell.
J. Arthur Lewis and part of the men's glee club sang the new song,
’’Oil for Troy,” and the student body also sang it.
Capt. Nate Barragar said that it was easier for him to speak there than it was for him to face the California squad. He left the student body with the idea that the right mental attitude in the minds of the fellows would do more than any-(Continued on Pafe Four)
LAW DANCE DUCATS ARE SELLING FAST
Recognized; Others Must Sup-ly Date By Nov. 7.
A.t the next meeting of the Organi-zations committee names, addresses, the constitutions, and financial statements of unrecognized organizations will be considered. Only those tvhich have at this date, Thursday, Novem-ber 7, presented the desired information will be considered.
It lias become necessary for the committee in charge to set a definite date as a deadline. The last opportunity that the groups will have to present their petitions for recognition will be on Friday, November 22. All material which has been asked lor, and which is essential to the granting of such petitions, must be in the chairman’s office on or before this date. 1C such organizations, which have as yet failed to hand in t.iis required information do not succeed in getting it in by then they will be excluded from any campus recognition lor the remainder of the year.
Many of these groups have had no real recognition for the past ypar as it is, and they must continue for the rest of the year under the same conditions. There will be no opportunity for them to obtain any per. mit during midterm.
The flrst 15 groups to be formally recognized by the Organizations committee and the faculty committee on student organizations are the following:
Alpha Eta Rho, Alpha Kappa Kap-
fraternity and sorority group, More- ]pa, Alpha Kappa Epsilon, Kappa Zeta,
Declaring that co-operation with El Rodeo editors by fraternities and sororities has lapsed iuring the past week, Morton Morehouse, assistant editor of the year book, today declared that appointment deadlines must be kept, or pliotograpns of delinquents will be omitted from the book.
Sororities and fraternities who must make appointments for photographs immediately are: Beta Sigma Omicron, Sigma Delta Tau, Iota Sig-a Theta, Delta Theta, Tau Epsilon Phi, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Phi Sigma Kappa. Members of these groups are warned that appointments must be made within ten days, in order to enable the Austin studios to keep up with the El Rodeo sclied-
The studios in the basement were well patronized during the flrst three weeks in which pictures were scheduled, Morehouse said, but the daily average has dropped considerably. More than fifteen persons broke their regular appointments each day this week, slowing up the activity of the El Rodeo staff considerably.
Those houses whose appointments were scheduled earler in the month will be allowed three days for the making of new appointments, in order to complete the flrst half of the

BEARS UPSET DOPE BUCKET IN 15 - 7 WIN
Riegels, Lom, and Company Shatter Trojan National Championship Hopes.
By JOE CLARKE
Southern California lost. Over confidence, coupled with numerous fumbles, poor interference, and the superb playing of the entire California varsity helped knock the Trojans out of a possible national championship and ruin thelr chances for the coast conference title.
The first half was a nightmare. Players were carrying the ball for gains only to fumble at the crucial moment, the defense against California’s passing attack was only a myth ami lienny Lom showed Ills heels to the entire fleld.
POOR KICKOFF
Dullieid got off a poor klckoff, and California returned the ball a short distance. On an exchange of punts between Duflield and I-om, the Jones-men broke about even.
Duffield clicked off several nice runs, but the big break came when Lom intercepted Duffield's pass and the Bears returned the compliment by completing a pass from Lom to Eisan for 15 yards. Line bucks placed the ball on the Trojan’s five-yard-line. The ball was pushed to the one inch line, and Gill went across for the first touchdown. The Bears converted.
BEAR LINE BETTER
The big edge that California had over S. C. was their line. The Trojans could make very little through the center, and time after time. Hpy Riegels, California captain, crashed through the primary defense to ■ spill the play in it; formation, lliegeh proved liimself to be the best center on the Pacific I Coast in this game and he lias great chances for All-American honors.
Southern California showed the effects of "too much Stanford,” and that psychology will win. California was refreshed after a week's layoff, and was primed for the game.
The outstanding stars for Troy were Saunders and Hill, who ripped off great yardage around the ends and off tackle. In two plays, they made BO yards, only to fumble and have the ball recovered by the Bears when ln scoring territory. On the next play, Loin tore oft left end for 83 yards for the second touchdown. The last California score came when Saunders’ punt was blocked behind the goal and two points were registered for tbe safety.
MOSES SCORES
The great Moses came back today, and scored S. C.'s only points, when he bucked the ball over from the two yard line, on the fourth down.
The Trojans’ chances for the CoaBt Conference championship are not entirely gone, for if Stanford can upset the Bears, it will create a triple tie.
