Tomorrows Encounter Ends Season
By Rocky Spicer
And now—the season’s piece de resistance!
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

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.

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
