Someday when Coach Howard Jones is old and gray, he's going to tell his grandchildren about a balmy afternoon in October, 1937, when a dauntless band of Trojan gridders eta red defeat in the face, and then came back with a vengeance to upset Ohio State university, 13-12, in one of the most bitter intersectional football games ever played in the coliseum.
He’s going to tell all the little, Joneses the tale of Ambrose Schindler and Ralph Stanley, two W'ounded Trojan w'arriors w'ho were carried off the field in the third quarter, only to., return in the; fourth stanza and blast into oblivion the victory hopes of Ohio’s mighty Scarlet Scourge.

Japan Uses Poison Gas,

Chinese Health Officer Accuses Foes as 1500 Soldiers Are Infecled
Copyright, 1937, by United Press.
SHANGHAI. Monday, Oct. 11— (IIP)—The Chinese government today formally charged Japanese forces with using poison gas. “believed to be mustard gas.” in artillery operations around Shanghai.
The health ministry, which made the charge after the Chinese delegation at the league of nations assembly had made similar informal charges last week, said at least 1500 Chinese soldiers were affected over the week-end. The supposedly “gassed" Chinese troops were sent

They Mean It
An Editorial
It looks as though they were getting down to business at last. By “they,” we mean those student officers whose concern it should have been in years past to bring pressure to bear on the automobile maniacs who exercise their “wish for recognition” by hurtling down the busiest, most pedestrian-crowded avenue on the campus at outrageous speeds. They mean business this time, because they are resorting to something besides talk and the platitudes which we could print in these columns to put over their point. They have made recommendations to divert the line of 28th street-bound cars at noon to several side thoroughfares; they have worked out a campaign of warnings and arrests with police officers which will be supported by the force of civil law, and— more important — by the force of student law.
Maybe the smart-aleck driver, who persists in violating laws constructed for human safety after today in order to demonstrate his “rights” and his “independence,” 'thinks that he will find other students ready to sympathize with him. Maybe he will. But those students are not the “Associated Students of the University of Southern California.”
The leadership of the whole student body has set itself upon action, and action it means to take. It will not tolerate obstruction by any individual member or minority group of the student body.
This time the police come at the invitation of the student body itself.

’Police Will Make Arrests After Today
Officers will start making arrests Tuesday!
This is the most important factor in the concerted drive which student leaders cooperating with police officers are making this week to improve traffic conditions on University avenue. John Olhasso. president 1 of the men s council announced last night.
This statement comes in the nature of a “last warning” to drivers | on the university campus, inasmuch as officers have been calling the attention of automobile owners to violations of the law along the avenue for the past two or three days
OFFENSES LISTED
Arrests will take place of warnings for the following offenses af-j ter today:
1.	Over-crowding cars.
2.	Running-board riding.
3.	Speeding.
4.	Jumping signals.
5.	Failure to make boulevard stops.
6.	Reckless driving.
Efforts are being made by the administration of the university to ob-I tain the permission of the city plan-I ning commission to close traffic on University avenue for part of the day, at least at noon, as a temporary measure. This wiil have the ef-■ feet of breaking up the main stream of cars that heads for 28th street, at noontime. Drivers will be forced to use the several side thoroughfares available to reach “fraternity row.’’ thus relieving the noontime congestion on University avenue which autoists and pedestrians alike have found an acute danger.
FENCE PLANNED The more permanent plan considered calls for the erection of a steel fence parallel to the University avenue entrance and the ex-i tension of the concrete island around the pylon to connect with the strip of parkway which runs the length of the avenue. It is understood that the planning commission has approved this piece of construction.
These remedial efforts have come out of a meeting of student leaders which took place last spring. At that time, student, faculty, and neighborhood protests had become so insistent, that immediate measures had to be considered to control automobile conduct on the main 1 campus thoroughfare.
John L. Lewis Discloses Plans For Labor War
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. Oct. 10 —(Lr.P)—John L. Lewis, condemning the suspension of the 10 CIO unions from the American Federation of Labor as “cowardly’ ’and “contemptible.” disclosed plans tonight for setting up a permanent dual organization which blasted all hopes of an immediate peace in the current trade union war.
Lewis, here for the CIO's firs: “war council” told newspapermen that since the CIO unions have been suspended by the A. F of L they already consider themselves “out of the federation” and tha' their attitude towards reports that the federation convention in Denver will vote to expel them is on of the “complete indifference.”
‘.We have seen the forces of tl American Federation of Labor i opposition to the principles of trad unionism.” Lewis said. “We hav seen the federation in cooperatio with corporate interests opposed t the interests of the workers.”
