Robbed,-Thief"1 S* C. To Discuss Peace Problems Leaves Trophies At Round-table Forum Wednesday
Qrannv Lansdpir*	____ I	/
Granny Lansdell's room was ransacked over the week-end, but Granny has a soft spot in his heart for the burglar.
Granny is the star quarterback on Howard Jones' varsity eleven. While he and his family were attending a show last Saturday night, a thief broke into their home, 2283 North Grand Oaks, Altadena, and made away with a typewriter and an old revolver.
The thief was not an ordinary thief, however. He had enough sentiment to leave Granny's many prized, gold football trophies behind, and that's why Granny ls grateful.
"He must have been a football fan," deduced Granny.

Today the varsity baseball team can thank Teammate Frank Koski and Cy Greenlaw for the fact that lt ls once again out In front ln the chase for the coast title.
After looking hopeless against the big bats and snappy fielding of St. Mary’s Friday While getting walloped 7-1, the Trojans nipped the Gaels 4-3 Saturday with tjie aid of Koski's five hits and an error by Greenlaw.
Southern California, with 10 wins and two losses, leads the conference by half a game over St. Mary's with a record of 10 wins but three defeat*, two of which were handed it by S.C. Today and tomorrow the Gaels wind up their schedule in a two-game series with UCLA, while the locals have two games with Stanford and one with the Bruins yet to be played.

Mary’s to an impressive victory in the opening contest. O’Neil, ranked third in the list ot Gael hurlers, pitched probably the best game of
Although Trojan Jack Brewer undefeated before the Gael series, gave up 13 blows, dumb playing on the part of his teammates accounted for most of the runs. A “cinch” fly to right field found Keith Lambert getting a case of “cloud blindness" and turning his back on it to bring in two runs, while Captain Art Lilly attempted to play both center field and second and muffed another fly ball.
With St. Mary’s out in front 5-0 ln the seventh Inning, the locals staged their biggest “rally” which netted them one run. A three-bagger by Jack Hanson started off the inning, with Red Ramsey gettinga walk.
