U.3.C. versus U.C.L.A., for the collegiate football championship of Los Angeles. In this comer, the Trojans, twice victors over their cross-town rivals; in that corner, the Bruins, who outplayed the Southern Californians to earn a thrilling 7-7 tie in their last game of intra-city strife a year ago. For the first time in the history of U.S.C.-U.C.L.A. gridiron relations, the Trojans will go to the post no better than an even bet over their foes from Westwood. Today, in the cold, clear light of another dawn, the outcome of tomorrow’s joust in the coliseum is in the laps of the gods. Neither team can be installed a favorite. Fresh flushed from their encouraging showing against Notre Dame at South Bend last Saturday, the Trojans will take the field tomorrow determined to trim the Bruins and salvage .'ie remains of an unhappy season. On the other hand, the Uclans will be seeking the victory that will atone for the rough treatment they have received from the hands of CROSS-TOWN RIVALS Howard Jones and Bill Spaulding are doing some worrying in their positions as rival coaches for the season's "biggest game," a prize event for U.S.C. homecomers.

Students Plan Mutual Peace Renewing pledges to maintain friendly relations between U.C.L.A. and U.S.C., student leaders of the two institutions met yesterday on the Westwood campus to outline final plans for the game in the coliseum tomorrow. Don Ferguson, president of the U.C.L.A. student body, and Carroll Welling, vice-president, played host to Trojans Gardiner Pollich and Caroline Everington. The fc-or executives made arrangements to take particular caution that over-zealous students are not allowed to commit vandalism on the rival campus, and to punish offenders who fail to heed recent warnings against such activities. Grounds of both schools will be strongly guarded tonight, the officers decided. While excitement of pre-game rivalry is being controlled by campus guards, student bodies of the two universities will participate in a joint dance at the Ambassador hotel to further friendly relations. Floor show entertainment presented by the Bruin students will be dedicated to U.S.C. A meeting was held earlier in the semester to consider methods of dealing with students who endanger peaceful relations by engaging in vandalism, and leaders of the institutions have since been carrying on a determined campaign to eliminate the usual destructive activities which characterize the week of the annual “cross-town” game. to the changes that have come about since “his time.” It is scarcely a matter of his own devising: whether he wills it or no, change in every form forces itself upon his consciousness; it absorbs his attention from the first moment of his return and keeps him busy with reactions the whole of his stay. Changes in the physical equipment of the campus, in the personnel of the faculty and student body, in student interests, manners, and modes of dress, in the customs of classroom, fraternity house, and playing field, and in the intangibles of atmosphere and spirit crowd upon our homecomer. Need we point out that his reactions to all of this are confused and uncertain? How well he knows it! How well we who are his undergraduate hosts know it! Have we not heard him again and again during the course of this short week reminiscing with this or that classmate friend of ’04, ’10, ’23, ’27, or ’33: “Well, Bill this is a great year for the old school, but I can’t help thinking of the good old days when it was so and so,” or “And remember the spirit of the student body that year — how we stood Continued on Page Twoi Peace Worker To Talk Here Muriel Lesier, English Reformer, Will Address All-U Assembly Tuesday | Impressed with the greatness of peace by Russia’s Tolstoi, Muriel Lester, who in the coming months may become unofficial mediator for the cessation of hostilities in the Far East, will continue her life’s work of spreading her pacifistic philoso-; phy when she addresses the University of Southern California student | body next Tuesday. Speaking on the subject, “Kill or Cure,” Miss Lester will divulge some of her beliefs in connection with so-! cial conditions of the world, and methods for attaining world freind-: ship which have gained her renown | as England’s greatest 20th century 1 reformer and “the power behind the throne” in obtaining partial home i rule for India.

With prospects of issuing nearly 3.000 rooters tickets, the largest rooting section in the history of the University is expected. A few rooters tickets, however are still available. Adding to the excitement and color of the Los Angeles grid gigantic will be the annual freshman-sophomore brawl to determine the supremacy of the lower divisions. The queen of the winning team, either Patricia Caddell. of the freshmen, or Peggy Fitzgerrell, of the sophomores, will preside over the Homecoming dance tomorrow night where she wiH receive the Globe trophy. Leading the teams in the pushball and roping contests, and the sack race will be Jack Bomke. captain of the freshmen, and BUI Baker, captain of the sophomores. Today at 10 a.m. a rally to honor senior members of the football team will be held in Bovard auditorium. Don Ferguson, president of the U.C. L.A. student body, and halfback on the Bruin grid team, and Don Me-Devitt, U.C.LA. yell-king, will represent the cross-town institution at the pep assembly. In 1929 the Trojans ran up one of the largest scores in history by springing on a defenseless Bruin, 74-0. The next year they continued their touchdown parade with a 52-0 score. Hostilities were discontinued until last year. The current edition of the “biggest game" will find the Thundering Herd installed as approximately 10-8 pre-game favorites. Rally Honors Ten Seniors hall has become England's largest settlement house, and is now acclaimed as accomplishing work as important and vital as that which is being done by Chicago's Hull house, after which the British hall is patterned. In reviewing the peace work done by Miss Lester, Japan’s ambassador to England recently opined that her proposed methods to end possibilities of international hostilities are more likely to succeed than any others which have been attempted in the past. Encouraged by the op-j timism with which world diplomats have greeted her plan.

U.3.C. versus U.C.L.A., for the collegiate football championship of Los Angeles. In this comer, the Trojans, twice victors over their cross-town rivals; in that corner, the Bruins, who outplayed the Southern Californians to earn a thrilling 7-7 tie in their last game of intra-city strife a year ago. For the first time in the history of U.S.C.-U.C.L.A. gridiron relations, the Trojans will go to the post no better than an even bet over their foes from Westwood. Today, in the cold, clear light of another dawn, the outcome of tomorrow’s joust in the coliseum is in the laps of the gods. Neither team can be installed a favorite. Fresh flushed from their encouraging showing against Notre Dame at South Bend last Saturday, the Trojans will take the field tomorrow determined to trim the Bruins and salvage .'ie remains of an unhappy season.

The fc-or executives made arrangements to take particular caution that over-zealous students are not allowed to commit vandalism on the rival campus, and to punish offenders who fail to heed recent warnings against such activities. Grounds of both schools will be strongly guarded tonight, the officers decided. While excitement of pre-game rivalry is being controlled by campus guards, student bodies of the two universities will participate in a joint dance at the Ambassador hotel to further friendly relations. Floor show entertainment presented by the Bruin students will be dedicated to U.S.C. A meeting was held earlier in the semester to consider methods of dealing with students who endanger peaceful relations by engaging in vandalism, and leaders of the institutions have since been carrying on a determined campaign to eliminate the usual destructive activities which characterize the week of the annual “cross-town” game. to the changes that have come about since “his time.” It is scarcely a matter of his own devising: whether he wills it or no, change in every form forces itself upon his consciousness; it absorbs his attention from the first moment of his return and keeps him busy with reactions the whole of his stay.

Have we not heard him again and again during the course of this short week reminiscing with this or that classmate friend of ’04, ’10, ’23, ’27, or ’33: “Well, Bill this is a great year for the old school, but I can’t help thinking of the good old days when it was so and so,” or “And remember the spirit of the student body that year — how we stood Continued on Page Twoi Peace Worker To Talk Here Muriel Lesier, English Reformer, Will Address All-U Assembly Tuesday | Impressed with the greatness of peace by Russia’s Tolstoi, Muriel Lester, who in the coming months may become unofficial mediator for the cessation of hostilities in the Far East, will continue her life’s work of spreading her pacifistic philoso-; phy when she addresses the University of Southern California student | body next Tuesday.
