Campus Chest Drive Begins
Greek Letter Organizations Co-operate with Chest Committee.
The names of four sororities have been turned in as 100 per cent strong in their response to the appeal of the Community Chest, according to Glenn Johnson, chairman of the Community Chest committee. These sororities are Alpha Delta Pi, Kappa Delta, Delta Theta, and Zeta Tau Alpha. No report has, as yet, been received concerning fraternity returns.
Fraternities and sororities are but a part of the group of organizations to whom this initial Community Chest plea is being made. The Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., Men’s dormitory, Women's dormitory and Lodge, the Cosmopolitan club, and the International club are also included in the division.
The sorority returns above indicate the spirit of co-operation which is predominant among these organizations, and it is hoped that their contributions will not only equal, but even exceed, the quotas assigned them.
By an act of the legislative council of the University of Southern California, the presidents of these groups are made directly responsible for the amounts to be raised, and all presidents should work in close co-ordina-tion with the secretaries in charge of their division. In this way, the money can be raised with work and duplication of effort reduced to a minimum.

Thundering Herd Hang Up 66-0 Victory Over Nevada to Top Nation’s Teams.
By RALPH HUSTON
On the eve of their departure for Chicago and the Notre Dame game, the Southern California Trojans found themselves the leading scoring ing team in the country by virtue ot their crushing 66 - 0 victory over the Nevada Wolves. That score gave the Thundering Herd a total of 289 points in seven games, and put them ahead of Dartmouth, which has 281 digits.
The Trojans manufactured ten touchdowns and six conversions against the weak resistance that the out-classed Wolves had to offer. Tony Jurich, husky sophomore end, accounted for three tallies, two on passes and a third on Musick’s fumble. Howard Josiin, another sopho. more wingman, gathered a couple of scores, one on a pass and the other on a blocked kick by John Ward. Marsh Duffield, Russ Saunders, Gaius Shaver and Jim Musick scored the other tallies.
The Trojans were held to 13 points

“Make Up” Topic of Talk at Drama Shop Meeting Tomorrow
Mr. Abraham Shore wlll speak on "Make-Up,” at the Drama shop luncheon meeting to be held tomorrow in the Student Union. Mr. Shore is with Max Factor and will give some practical demonstrations which will be of universal interest.
Reservations must be made and paid for by chapel hour today. Gertrude Tyson, president of Drama shop, and Jerome Ehrlich will be at the round table on the third floor of Old College this morning and will take care of those students wishing to buy tickets.
Since the last luncheon was so popular with the students, it has been found necessary to limit the number who may attend. For this reason it will be well to make reservations at once.
Miss Tyson also states that any man who desires to try out for the part of the Traveling Man in the play of that name written by Lady Gregory may see her today during chapel hour at the School of Speech. “This part offers an excellent opportunity for some very good dramatic work,” said Miss Tyson.
Slogan Picked For Apolliad
School of Speech Choose “Feed Polly” as Contest Motto.
"Feed Polly” is to be the slogan of the Apolliad’s annual all-Univer-sity creative contest in fine arts, sponsored by tlie School or Speech, in collaboration with the Schools of Music and Architecture and the English department. Although dates have not yet been annuonced, it is certain that the deadline for manuscripts will not be before February. More in the nature of a tryout than a contest, the Apolliad tries to discover stndents’ finest self-expression In poetry, essay, short stories, one act plays, fantasies, and either music or lyrics.
At the close of the contest selections are made from the material handed in which are then used in a program given in Touchstone theatre. Critics prominent in literary and dramatic circles are present to give constructive criticism as to the merits or faults ot the work. Very often Orpheum scouts are on hand to see if any of the plays are suitable for their actors.
All students who compete are given invitations to the program while those who are successful are given extra tickets for their friends. Attendance is by invitation only.
Six years ago a committee led by Dr. Allison Gaw and including re-presentatives of tlie various fine arts departments desired to start a public exhibit which would include the general scope of art. They attempted in this manner to unify the interests of the several schools on the local campus. Iu w’ordsxziiflffttizflfflii local campus.

HUGE PARADE WILL SEND OFF TEAM FOR NOTRE DAME CLASH
Thirty Players Comprise Squad as Ten-Car Special Carries Fans to Game; Irish Rated as Slight Favorites to Defeat Jonesmen.
By NORMAN COWAN
Tonight, Coach Howard Jones and a band of 35 Trojan football players will leave Los Angeles for Chicago where they will engage the eleven of Notre Dame in the fourth of a series of games between the two schools. Final stiff workout will be held on Bovard field this afternoon before the team leaves for the station.
Previous to the departure of the —	_ m	warriors of Troy a mammoth parade
C aCCS KOCKne will be staged which will form on
University avenue promptly at 4:45. At 5:15, leading the parade, the team and band in busses, with police escort, will leave for the Southern Pacific station where a rally will be held, flrst in the waiting room and finally behind the observation car of a ten-car special train. The parade will go from Jefferson to Figueroa, thence north to Sixth, and east on Sixth direct to the station.
WORKOUT IN CHICAGO Players, coaches, student managers, doctors, and others will occupy a ten-car train which will leave the station at 6 p. m. Only one stop ls scheduled enroute, that being at McPherson, Kansas, on Thursday afternoon but at every short wait along the route the Trojans will stop for light workouts. The special will arrive ln Chicago at 9 a. m. Friday and the team will go directly to Stagg field for the final workout before the game.
Southern California will be the underdog by a slight margin. Coach Rockne’s Irish have a clean slate for the season and are expected to play their best game against the team of Howard Jones. Rockne, who has been confined to a bed for the past three weeks, will be on the sidelines at Soldiers’ field to personally direct his charges against the Trojans.
IRISH HAVE EDGE In three games played between the two schools Notre Dame has a two to one edge. In 1926 the Irish came back in the last two minutes to win from the Jonesmen 13 to 12. The following year in Chicago Southern California lost another 1 point decision, 7 to 6, but last year the tables were switched and Troy won 27 to 14, purely by virtue of a first-half attack that swept the Rocknemen off their feet.
The Cardinal and Gold squad will not enter the game ln the best shape of the season. With Tony Steponovich still limping badly from a Charley horse, and Don Moses, Mortensen and ‘'Dutch" Wilcox all hampered with minor injuries, Jones will be forced to use several of his resorves. The team, however, is determined to give the undefeated South Benders the battle of their lives, and regardless of the outcome, Notre Dame will have known that they were in a football game.
The Irish have successfully met and defeated Indiana, Navy, Wisconsin, Carnegie Tech, Georgia Tech, and Drake with only two touchdowns being scored againBt them. Carnegie Tech was subdued on straight running and line plays, not a pass being thrown all afternoon by the Irish. Both scores were made against the "shock” Continued on Page Four
COACH HOWARD JONES
Leading the Thundering Herd te Chicago, Jones faces probably the toughest game of the year. Knute Rockne's charges, undefeated, hope to avenge the 27-14 drubbing which the Trojans gave them last year. The Trojans have a little score to settle themselves. Trimmings by the Fightin’ Irish in the two previous years and another by California this year provide plenty of reasons for an interesting ball game.
TROJAN SORORITIES HOLD COUNCIL HOP
