MYTHICAL CHOICES HONOR COAST MEN
1 are all-Americans to the rsnt, all-Americans to the left, but a few brave selectors have had
1	e audacity to compile a list of the nation’s loo leading players.
Products of the Middle West grid-ron machines outnumber by far the repiesentatives from the other parts °f the country. As its teams played t ® most consistent and steady sched-U of season, it is to be exacted that a larger number of its ^ aJeis should deserve honorable Mention for those who failed to qualify as tjle menders of the elite eleven.
*a(‘tic Coast schools have not bpen 01 gotten by any means, and there is a noticeable increase in the amount
0	Western names included in the j^ters Spared by the All-American °ard of Football and the New York Sun.
Fourteen schools placed 31 players ® the tw0 lists. This does not in-U e the alternate team chosen by jj1C Xun which named Tappaan and eneciie as end and center, respectively.

SCHEDULED EVENTS PROVE SUCCESSFUL
Continuing today with three feature events, and achieving a grand finale tomorrow in the Homecoming parade, football game, and formal dance, the 1929 Homecoming week will soon pass into history. The efforts of Bob Beardsley, student chairman, and Judge Joseph Sproul, general alumni chairman, have left no stone unturned to the end that it shall go down in history with the reputation of having been the most complete aud successful Homecoming week in the annals of the university.
The program which has been presented so far this week, and which is yet to be unfolded today and tomorrow, has been acknowledged to be one of the most carefully planned and perfectly executed that the Trojan campus has ever seen.
Opening with the informal dance of the College of Engineering held Saturday evening, December 7, the program was resumed on Monday, the ninth, with the open house of all fraternities and sororities on the campus. Monday also marked the appearance of fraternity and sorority
ous Ideas, and original arrangements.
At 6 p. m. on Tuesday, both the Colleges of Commerce and of Music held banquets. The Commerce dinner was held in the Student Union grill, and was open to all alumni of the college. The College of Music held its affair at the Darby hotel, West Adams and Grand. Following this, a musicale was held In the recital hall of the College of Music.

of a radio announcer will take up the cry of one and the other as two twice-defeated teams battle In the semi-windup of the 1929 gridiron card. Before the last waterboy has left the field or the flrst wagers have been settled, dopesters will be gnawing their lead pencils ln anticipation of the Rose Bowl game.
HOMECOMING GAME
For Southern California it is homecoming game and the climax to a week of reunions of fraternity brothers and sorority sisters, with old grads shaking hands heartily amid a chorus of greetings and reminiscences. For the Cardinal and Gold lt is the postseason game with one of the greatest teams ot the ewst. and the finest kind ol^j prediction for January 1.
Alumni have established them selves securely ln the town. Rooters caps and banners have been resurrected. Yells and songs are recalled. Bold predictions vie with each other. Out of the highway* aud byways of the west come thc inhabitants of the city of Troy on their annual pilgrimage: and over the wires and by mail come the good wishes of the holders of Trojan outposts throughout the world.
FINAL GAME OF SKIBOS
For Carnegie Tech it is the final fling at gridiron aspirations this year. It is the chance for the fighting engineers to show that a factual columns of wins and losses may be superior to an unbeaten record of a fellow conference member whose season consisted of two battles ln a setting of forays.
Over the hills and out of the glens come the defenders of the plaid wearers. The Scots have a following that will not be denied. Conflicting thoughts of bagpipes and heather with the din and smoke of Pittsburgh are forgotten in the gathering of the Tartan clan.
With the outcome in the doubtful column the mettle of both teamB is on the stand for critical inspection. Southern California lost to Notre Dame by oue point in a hectic 13-12 game In Chicago a month ago. Carnegie Tech lost to Notre Dame by a single touchdown and conversion of 7-0 In favor of the Irish.
ALL BACK IN LINE-UP
Until now the Skibos have limped along without the services of Big John Karcis who had an infected hand and an Injured leg for the greater part of the season. Harry McCurdy, giddy sophomore quarter; Yeiino, 190-pound guard; and Schnupp and Highberger, deadly tackles, have all been seriously injured and have recovered so that this game will be the first that will find Carnegie capable of playing her finest.
Stinging from the defeat of Chicago and the earlier one from the Golden Bears, the man power of the Trojan warhorse will be concentrated for a swift and decisive attack. Coach Jones has drilled his men in the fundamentals of offense and defense and given them new weapons in the form of a few twisting plays. Moses, Steponovich, Baker, Williamson, Musick. and Hill are certain to play after enforced absences because of injuries or because of commended performances while substituting for regulars.
STUDY CRIME
Former pickpockets aud safe-crack-ers will lecture to students at the University of Chicago's school of police administration. All this is in an efTort to understand crime and criminals.
