(An Editorial)
Lack of a sensational news story that will carry a banner headline cm the early morning editions is no worry to metropolitan newspapers on weekends such as the approaching one, when collegians travel hundreds of miles to attend a big game. Editors on the downtown sheets can be almost positive that they will be able to run a streamer line on their Saturday papers that will read something like this:
THREE COLLEGE STUDENTS KILLED ON WAY TO NORTHERN GRID GAME
U.S.C. Rooters Die
When Cars Collide
In Head-On Crash
Some kind of catastrophe has occurred on every big game exodus during past years. U.C.L.A. as well as U. S.C. has mourned the death of one of its students more than once when the “gang” has returned from a weekend at Stanford or Berkeley. Troy’s 1936 trip to Stanford was marred by only one accident, however. Three Trojan men were fortunate to escape alive in a head-on collision with a speeding car. Police records showed that the blame for the accident could not be laid on the Trojans.
College students are young, and young persons are by nature more carefree than their elders, particularly when imbued with football fervor. A carefree spirit, nevertheless, is not of necessity accompanied by a spirit of recklessness. Every U.S.C. rooter who attends the California football game can return to campus Monday morning without having experienced injury of any kind if he will merely think and act sanely.
Why not make this a wreck-less weekend, not a j reckless one?

Mussolini Agrees To Withdraw Fascist Volunteers
LONDON, Oct. 20—< l’.P)—-Premier Benito Mussolini, running up against a dangerous Franco-British threat, suddenly dropped his defiant attitude tonight and agreed to collaborate in a plan to withdraw his fascist black shirts and other foreign “volunteers” from Spain.
II Duce’s conciliatory gesture, which came as a surprise even to Italian diplomats in Rome, held out hopes of solving a three-way deadlock within the non-intervention committee and averting a crisis crammed with possibilities of war. PROGRESS MADE
The non-intervention delegates, quick to seize upon Italy’s consent to sending a neutral “volunteers” commission to Spain at once, agreed that it constituted “a substantial ■ degree of progress” and asked that immediate steps be taken to put the proposals into operation.
Italy and Germany announced that they had withdrawn their objections to Franco-British proposals whereby belligerent rights will be withheld from both Spanish factions until “token” withdrawals of volunteers have been carried out. Until today, the Rome-Berlin axis demanded simultaneous recognition of belligerency.
IL DUCE STYMIED
Statesmen believed that Mussolini, unable to budge Britain and France from their demands that he clear out of Spain, had come to the conclusion that he could count on no further capitulations to his policy.
The new' Italian proposal provided:
1- Immediate dispatch of a commission to Spain to estimate the numbers of volunteers in both the Insurgent and Loyalist ranks, and finding the most feasible means of withdrawing them.
2.	Studies by the commission to determine the best method of granting belligerency rights to the Spanish factions.
3.	An immediate and equal “token” Withdrawal of volunteers from both sides without waiting for the commission’s report.
