SC Students, Faculty
To Hear Ensemble
In Bovard Tomorrow
Contrast ln musical style will mark the selections to be presented by the Allan Hancock string ensemble tomorrow at 10 a.m. in Bovard auditorium. The concert is for the entire Trojan faculty and student body.
Among the compositions to be played by the noted group are “Dream Pantomine,” from the Humperdinck opera; “Hansel and Gretel”; and the Gavotte from Bach’s B Minor suite.
MUSIC IS FORMAL The Bach selection, representing the 18th century classical era, is stately and formal in nature, while the “Hansel and Gretel” excerpt exemplifies the romanticism of 150 years later. The Dream Pantomine describes the dream of the two children in an old German fairy story.
Tomorrow’s concert will mark the last public appearance of the Han- j cock group before its departure on a tour of British Columbia and the eastern states, where it will pre- ! sent numerous concerts.
NOTED MUSICIANS TO APPEAR Captain Hancock is ’cellist of the group, as well as its director. Other musicians in the ensemble are Ambrose Russo, violin: Loren Powell, violin; Arthur Jensen, viola; Bartley Hunt, bass viol; Martin Rid-erman, flute; Catherine Jackson, harp; and W. E. Strobridge, piano.

Polyzoides Will Address All-U Meeting
“A month of trouble in Europe” is the title of an address to be given by Prof. Adamantios Th. Polyzoides, SC lecturer in international relations, at an all-univers-ity lecture at the Sigma Chi fraternity house. 848 West 36th street, tonight at 7:30 o’clock.
Mr. Polyzoides will tell his audi-
the shoreline was littered with wrecks of vessels whose passengers had not been accounted for.
Only three bodies had been found. Two were pulled from Los Angeles harbor and a third floated ashore at Point Mugu where the excursion fishing boat Spray capsized with a loss of 24 lives. ELEVEN BOATS WRECKED
Eleven boats were known to have been wrecked In the violent and unexpected 60 mile gale which whipped up from a Mexican hurricane, and 23 others were still reported missing. The waves, which those aboard the boats said looked “like three-story buildings,” were subsiding today and the search for the bodies was expected to be more successful.
The navy assigned four destroyers and some patrol boats to help the coast guard pick up bodies and hunt for still-missing craft.
MEN SEARCH FOR BODIES
The beach at Point Mugu 50 miles north of Los Angeles was blocked off to the public and crew's of county prisoners were tearing apart debri* and wreckage in search of bodies from the Spray. The 48-foot motorboat, coming back from a day of sport fishing, tried to put in at the point Sunday night, but found the pier had been washed away by the terrific combers. The skipper could be heard shouting above the surf that he was puting back to sea to ride out the storm. Then a 30-foot wave caught the vessel broadside and spun her over. Most of the 26 persons aboard were in the pilot house, which was splintered and broken off, spewing them into the boiling surf.
Pledges Take First With 1.74
Tau Epsilon Phi topped Troy’s fraternities in scholarship for the first time in nine years with a rating of 1.53 for the spring semester, according to figures released yesterday by Dr. Francis M. Bacon, coun_ selor of men.
