Frosh Abduct Byron Cavaney
Pledges of S.A.E. ‘Kidnap’ Squire Leader; Rescue Attempts Futile
Rivalry between freshmen and sophomores flared up again yesterday morning when several frosh —pledges of Sigma Alpha Epsilon-kidnaped Byron Cavaney, president of the Squires, and kept him captive until the time of the station rally last night despite rescue attempts by fraternity brothers and friends.
Cavaney was escorted to the station and placed on the team tram to go north to the California game.
The kidnaping occurred at the beginning of 10:25 classes yesterday. Cavaney, accompanied by Squires Gardiner Pollich and Tom Guernsey, was entering the Science building when he was accosted by the frosh, who attempted to abduct him. According to I^ud Colegrove, freshman, Pollich hastened into the building to class, while Guernsey hollered for help.
Pollich claimed that he thought the whole matter and joke and therefore, did not remain to help Cavaney. Colegrove further claimcd that Pete Cavaney, brother of the “victim” and former Knight presi-I dent, assisted them. Pete firmly de-I nied this, however.
! Squires abducted John Magnin.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24. — (ED — The New Deal tonight set December 1 as the “zero hour’* for the end of federal dole to states as President Roosevelt returned to the white house to take personal command of his vast recovery program.
WPA Administrator Harry L. Hopkins, who accompanied the president on his vacation, in forecasting the end of government aid to states, said direct relief rolls declined 237,-534 families from August to September, while expenditures slumped $27,-000,000.
BiUicn Released In Week
In addition, he said. Controller General Jchn R. McCarl has released nearly $1,000,000,000 for 90,030 employment projects througlhout the nation in the last week. About $400,000,000 of this amount was approved in the last two days.
‘The big employment push,” said Hopkins, “will come between October 28 and November 12, with 3,-500,000 needy working after the latter date. Then we will abolish all state direct relief by December 1.” Less Famiiis on Relief
The number of families on relief, he added, declined from 3,500,733 in August to 3,263,199 in September, a drop of 6.8 per cent.
PWA Administrator Harold L. Ickcs, who also accompanied Mr. Roosevelt, said today his $330,000 000 construction and $100,000,000 slv_m clearance program will take 400,003 off relief rolls when the full work load is reached.
President Starts Work
Cheered by these optimistic reports, the president went straight to his desk from the special tram that brought him back to the capital and spent the day attacking domestic and foreign problems and conferring with various aides. He will remain here only a week before departing tor his home in Hyde Park, N. Y.
Among his earlier callers were Postmaster General James A. Farley and Frank G.\Walker, chairman of the National Emergency council. Both declined comment. Walker has been mentioned as a possible successor to Farley if and when the latter resigns to direct Mr. Roosevelt’s 1936 campaign.
la . . . But try to find the editor!
Yesterday afternoon I entered what used to the editor’s confines only to find myself in unfamiliar surroundings, resembling a detective office. The rcom was empty, so I quickly turned cn my heels to leave. As I opened the door, someone hollered “Halt!” Doing an about face, I saw a horrid looking creature, with drooping walrus whiskers, wearing a checkered coat and smoking a Sherlock Holmes type pipe. A demoniacal gleam emanated from his one open eye. (The other one was closed, you see).
“Whatcha want? . . . why’d ya come here? . .. Wnyncha leave? ... What in heck are ya doin’ here, anyway?” he asked in rapid fire.
Summing up courage, I replied calmly, “I, sir, am a reporter, sir, from the Daily Trojan, sir. And who may you be, sir?”
“Ha, I fooled you, didn’t I,” he replied. His voice now sounded familiar. I recognized him — Lionel Van Deerlin, editor of the Vulture. His detective garb was to enable
umns of that Sigma Delta Chi razz sheet, which, it is feared, will be on campus Tuesday morning.
“You want to know what the Vulture will be like, don’t you? . . . Ha, I know, 'cause I used to be a reporter . . . Listen, I’ll count the features.
“1. Dirt about the Berkeley trip, as only my crew of dkch diggers and garbage men can discover. 2. Selection of the three ‘Four Star Coeds,’ the most beautiful and charming on the campus. 3. A look-see into the 1936 presidential campaign, by our political staff. 4. And more dirt...”
“It’s a cinch,” I thought to myself as I departed. Closing the door, I turned to wave goodby to my old pal and playmate. But he had disappeared. Where? No one knows. Probably to hide until the victims of his ribbing cool down a bit, or possibly to sneak up on some unsuspecting keyhole and see if the occupants of the room have stuffed it full of paper in anticipation of his visit.

Greeks in Revolt Against Dictator
30,000 Republicans Mass In Crete to Oppose Premier Kondylis
ATHENS, Friday, Oct. 25.—(UJ!)— Republicans Ware in widespread revolt against the monarchist dictatorship of Field Marshal George Kondylis, premier and regent, today.
The most dangerous situation was on the island of Crete, traditional Republican stronghold and home of ex-Premier Eleutherios Venizelos, who long has been in exile in France.
Fighting Reported
Sporadic fighting was reported in Crete where 30,000 armed Republicans were on the march.
The Kondylis government hurried trocps and warships to the island late yesterday.
Meantime it was revealed that widespread defections had been discovered in the army on the mainland.
Fifty officers of the army w'ere arrested in Athens.
Two thousand troops were dispatched to the stormy island this afternoon.
First reports merely said a revolutionary movement was under way.
Trouble Expccted
Trouble in Crete, home of the exiled ex-premier, Eleutherois Venizelos, has been expected ever since October 11 when monarchists, by a military coup d’etat, abolished the republic and proclaimed restoration of the monarchy.
Crete is traditionally Republican and one of the first moves of the monarchists was to appeal to Retan leaders to recognize the new regime and abide peacefully by its decisions. This th9 Republican Cretans apparently have refused to do.
Field Marshal George Kondylis has been premier and regent, pending return of King George, who is in London. A plebiscite to ratify the government’s invitation to the king to return is to be held November 3.

'Big Bad Bear’ Defied at Rally
Thousands Escort T rojan Team to Station With Gala Auto Parade
By Warren Burns
The “big bad Bear" is off his honey diet!
At any rate that was the prophecy made last evening when hundreds of cars jammed with a few thousand Trojans bearing cardinal and gold streamers went screaming through city streets cn rcute to the station where the S.C. team left for Berkeley.
With the aid of six motorcycle police officers every traffic law made by the state of California was delightfully broken. Cars tore along at fifty per but slowed down to forty-five while shooting past red lights and around comers. Horns and sirens made more noise than a thousand boiler factories
The old Trojan fight song was sung from the time the motor cav-% alcade left the campus until they reached the station. Yell King Hallock spoke from the rear of the observation car—but “not about what you are thinking,” says he. Numerous cheers brought out Glenn Thompson, who said in no uncertain terms what the team intnded to do with the "Bear.” And from the short soul-revealing speeches made by o her members of the team we gathered that Troy ls out to win the game.
To the cries of “We want Jones.” “We want Jones,” the yell king replied that the coach would speak presently, and may have, but as he was boarding the train at Glendale we were unable to hear him.
iBy Clark Jones
Spurred on by a loyal student body which wUl back them to the limit—win, lose, or draw—Troy’s gridiron stalwarts will face Coach Stub Allison’s University of CaUfomia football team tomorrow afternoon in the Berkeley Memorial stadium.
Undaunted by California’s boast of a 75-0 victory. Southern CaUfomia wiU take the field tomorrow with no intention of holding the score down to 40 points, but with a grim determination to blast Coach Stub Allison and his highly touted eleven right out of the Pacific Coast conference football race.
The Trojans will be fighting to uphold an eleven-year undefeated record on the Memorial stadium turf. Not since 1924 has S.C. gone down to defeat on the Bear home grounds. The Thundering Herd nearly met defeat in 1933 when Cotton Warburton saved the day with a touchdown gallop in the i closing minutes of the game.
With San Francisco betting odds ' favoring California 4-1, the Trojans will enter tomorrow's fray as decided underdogs, but with the greater psychological advantage. This has always served as an Inspiration to S.C. teams in the past, as may be recalled by Troy’s 10-0 victory over Stanford in 1928.
Tomorrow is the nineteenth time S.C. and California have met on the gridiron. Ten times the Bear warriors have trod off the fleld victorious, whUe the Thundering Herd can claim only seven triumphs. The 1917 and 1928 contests i ended scoreless for both teams.

Today’s Amazon Court Is Postponed

"Freshman women who have received summons to come before the court today will be granted a respite untU next Friday, but they will then be required to appear,” she said.
tively few know anything about tha composer who might have been an international figure in the world of music if he had had a definite musical training.”
That all S.C. students should take time to see the Stephen Poster exhibit before the end of the month Is the belief of the Ubrary staff members.
Among the many songs which are on display are: “My Old Kentucky Home,” “Oh Susanna,” “Old Folks At Home,” “Massa’s in the Cold Cold Ground.” and others. Particularly interesting, says Mrs. Rosen, is the fact that some of Foster's songs were introduced to the public by Christy, a minstrel leader, and as a result of this, Christy persuaded Foster to let his name appear on ths first copies, thus giving credit where tt was not due.
