It had appeared that Vines' flashy tennis could not stand up under the battering of veterans used to strenuous seasons, but the Trojan sophomore had enough power left after dropping the first bitterly-fought set to win three straight sets and the champoinship. Twelve thousand spectators cheered as Ellsworth won tbe last set with flve
NATION APPLAUDS
Wrll-deserved were the plaudits of eastern tennis ethusiasts but the only praise that reached the Pasadena boy was that reflected on the sport-pages of the country'* newspapers, for within an hour of the time he shook hands over the net, he was on his way back to Los Angeles to resume his studies at the University of Southern California.
Vines' successful season of tennis comes at the end of a long, grueling summer of club, national, state-wide, and invitational matches in which he was defeated singly only five times. Thla barnstorming tour left him the holder of many club titles, besides the Los Angeles Open, L. A. T. C. closed.

Exploding a few popular fallacies and classifying the important and the unimportant university life, Dr. Francis K. Bacon, Counselor of Men, spoke to about 200 freshmen Thursday at an informal get-together in 305 Hoose Hall,
Among other things. Dr. Bacon set forth fact* on collegiate matter* that distinctly surprised most of his listeners. The gleanings of his experience In problems such as self-support. choice of vocation, and extra curricular activities were set before the newcomers, not. as Dr. Bacon stated, as gospel, but as a challenge.
He began by emphasizing that scholarship, and nothing else, was the flrst business of the university. He mentioned that surveys had revealed that the correlation of marks at college and success in life was extremely high. The pace set by the average student In his freshman year, holds, he said, throughout his course.

fifth aet, again in the single* semifinals, beoause of a stomach ailment. These two meetings had their effect upon the match Saturday, as Vines evidently was prepared to meet the weak returns of Lott with the brilliant smashing and network which decided the match.
The first aet was all Lott's. He outdrove Vines, took advantage of a game lead and broke through for hia lone set, 7-9. In the second set, Vine* took control of himself and placed hi* shots strategically.
In the third set, both players opened up with powerful drive* with *ervice duel* featuring the scoring part of the play. On ser-vice Lott was more oonsiitent throughout, double-faulting but once during t)ie four set* to Vine*' twelve such error*. Here, however, the Californian used hi* cannonball service much like Tllden'a, to advantage. After seven-all had been reached ln this set Lott was forced to err twice ln a row after flr*t reaching deuce, to lose the fifteenth game, whereupon Vines won a love game on service to make the set his, 9-7.

Monoplane With Three on Board Dares Sea Hop
HORTA, Fayal Island, Azores, Sept. 13 — (UP) — A sturdy Junker* monoplane en route from Portugal to New York sped over the Azores islands today racing due westward through a cloud-flecked sky.
The plane, carrying Willy Rody and his two companions from the Junc&l airdome near Lisbon, was malting about 100 mile* an hour when it was Bighted from Horta. It was at an altitude of about 1,000 feet..
Visibility was good and there was a strong wind from south, southeast. A few clouds spotted the sky. The letters “Junkers D-2072" could be seen on the plane, which appeared to be ln good shape after a flight of 950 miles across the Atlantic ocean from Portugal.
When the fliers passed Horta they had an over-ocean route of about 2,000 miles ahead of them to New York. They had averaged better than 110 miles an hour on the flrst one-third of the flight, having left the Juncal field at 9:25 a.m. Portugese daylight time, (3:25 a.m. EST). If they continue at an average of 100 miles an hour the fliers should reach New- York before noon Monday.
HILL PREDICTS AIRPLANE COURSES IN MANY SCHOOLS
That courses in airplane transportation be given in all school* and colleges in the United States, and that the outline as adopted by tbe State of California be used, was the unanimous recommendation of a recent national meeting held in Detroit under the auspices of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce and the Guggenheim Foundation for the
promotion of aeronautics, according*---
to Earl W. Hill, chairman of the de ' national body endorse, the Califor

Squires Will Begin Ceremony to Show Proper Spirit to Newcomers.
A royal welcome, yea, even to salaaming, awaits the freshmen at the hands of the Trojan Squires during the coming weeks. It will be a busy week for hoth Squire* and frosh, especially so for the latter when the Squires undertake to teach them thc traditions of S. C., and the proper respect due upper-I classmen.
The ‘'peagreeners" have had the run of tbe campus during the last week and now by order of Wendell Hellmsn. president of tho Trojan Squires, the “skum” are to pay the penally. And what a penalty! Most of the newcomers are acquainted with some of the tactic* of the" Squires but — well, some can't even be mentioned.
OPT REPEATED
Every year a new group of frosh, juat out of high school and still puffed up over accomplishments, ls thrust upon the campus and it is the business of the Squires to shape them into Trojans. And lhey have the reputation of never "muffing" their Job.
Alas for the frosh who uncon-sclously or otherwise leave* his “dink” behind! The first of Ihe freshmen’s "ten commandments" 1*, "Thou shall not, at any time, be without a ‘dink’.” The penalty ts unmentionable. Perhaps you might be asked to salaam before the Tro jan altar and who can say how-many feet may start to Itch and slip or where the paddles come from.
CARRY THE BIBLE And Ihen there i* that precious volume, the freshman “bible," which the second commandment says no freshman must ever be without. Violators, perchance, may find themselve* involuntary contestants In a tree or flagpole sitting contest until they can recite by heart any page, paragraph or chapter requested.
It is also a part of the duty of the Squires to see that the freshmen are properly dressed. No moleskin or corduroy pants, knickers, flannels, or sport shoes may the freshman wear, lest the most dire of penalties be Inflicted.
And neither shall they belittle the respect due Trojan Knights and Squire*. The freshie violating this commandment needs not sympathy but flowers.
QUEENING IS OUT The sympathy should go to those little boys and girl* wbo make moonlight walk* a business. No longer will they “queen," brag of their achievements in high achool, or of how busy they are with date cards and rushing. The Squire* will see to that.
No more will the greenhorns rest upon the senior bench, promenade on the main and central walks of Old College or the administration building. Nor will they sport, high school letters and jewelry.
The frosh will have only one haven of peace — chapel, where haz ing will more or less cease. However, should the freshie mis* chapel or a rally, the “campus police’’ will be there to Inflict the proper penalty.
Each of these commandments i* strictly enforced, and violators may be seen walking about the campus in queer styles of attire, or loosening their muscles scrapping or icrubbing paint off the walks or street*.
The frosh just doesn’t rate. He ig nobody, wanted nowhere and the object of much sarcasm.
