Scandal
‘Merciless’ Tabloid To Unleash Attack On Politics, People
The Vulture — scavenger of ournalism—will unleash wea-ons of sarcasm and scandal n Trojan politics and person-lities next Wednesday when t makes its annual appear-,nce on the campus.
Merciless as the bird of rey for which it was named, .he Vulture — an eight-page
abloid size razz-sheet—is published .ach year by members of Sigma Delta Chi. national honorary professional journalistic fraternity. Sold in place of the Daily Trojan for the day, the pink and green paper will be peddled for 15 cents per copy by ludicrously-garbed members of the chapter.
Presentation of “Four-Star Coeds." revelation of the inside story of the 1939 student body elections, and a behind-the-scenes account of the Berkeley sojourn are again ex-
pected to make the Vulture the peer of all collegiate scandal rags.
Three coeds—a blonde, a brunette and a redhead—will be chosen as “Four-Star Coeds” by Sigma Delta Chi members on the basis of their startling beauty and ravishing personality.
The 1939 election scandal—not the dirtiest ballot in history, but just the filthiest ever to be discovered-wili be told in detail with everything from the disposal of stray [ballots to the phoney conduct at ;the polls receiving mention.
More than a dozen fishy-eyed [correspondents will keep sharp lookout for gossip and scandal in the northbound trains and in the Frisco night spots. The eternal vigil of the “eyes of the Vulture” will be fully reported in the razz-sheet.

Nazis To Take Released US Ship to Germany

“The modern business man must keep in touch with literature to find his place in the parade today,” was the opinion Dr. Frank C. Baxter voiced in an address to more than 100 prominent business men and accountants at a noon luncheon in the Town and Gown foyer yesterday.
“Since 1921 literature has done away with two recurrent themes: the glorification of war, and the romantic and unreal.
“No longer does the literature deal with the unreal but with the more tangible element such as that portrayed in ‘The Grapes of Wrath’.’’ ATTEND FIRST INSTITUTE
The host of accountants and businessmen attending the first Institute of Accounting were reminded that the modern business man must find and keep alive his place in history by means of literature.
It was his opinion that the business man has taken an entirely different outlook and attitude since 1929. Pure financial success has become less important.
It was his opinion that the business man has taken an entirely dif-! ferent outlook and attitude since 1929. Pure financial success has become less important.

Trojans Chosen As Favorites To Beat Bears
Bescos’ Team Meets Cubs in Preliminary Freshman Contest
BY JACK GILLEAN
Away from home for the first time this season, th» Trojan footballers will find themselves heavy favorites when they take on the Bears at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow in the California Memorial stadium.
Coach Julie Bescos’ freshmen once aagin grab the spotlight ahead of the varsity i when they battle the undefeated I Cubs at 11:30 a.m. in a preliminary | affair.
Although Coach Stub Allison’s team is out of the running for Coast or Rose Bowl honors, the Bears are always dangerous on their home field. After comparing records of this season, however, the locals are logical favorites.
SC VICTOR LAST YEAR
Last year the Trojans and Bears met in Los Angeles to decide the lead in the conference as well as the representative for the Rose Bowl. Southern California came out on top with a 13-7 victory, and eventually was given the Pasadena bid.
California has won two and lost three games so far. After dumping the California Aggies 32-14 in the first game of a double header on the opening day, College of Pacific came along in the second contest to upset Cal. 6-0. Then on successive Saturdays, the Berkeley men lost to St. Mary’s, 7-3. and Oregon, 6-0. Last week they scored their first conference win by knocking over Washington State, 13-7.
TROJANS CAME BACK
After being held to a 7-7 tie by Oregon in the first game, the locals have come back to trounce Wash- j ington State and Illinois, 27-0 and 26-0, respectively. While the Trojans are tied for third place in the conference, the Bears are by themselves in the fourth spot.
Given two weeks ln which to prepare for the northern trip, the Cardinal and Gold men have spent that time behind locked gates. Califor- j nia, on the other hand, had a hard time downing the Cougars last Saturday.
Both camps have reported Injuries. Coach Allison is bemoaning the fact that Halfback Louie Smith is out for the season and that he will probably have to get along without the services of Harry Lieb and Ted Continued on Page Three

Bears Rated As Underdogs By UC Editor
Gridders Are Green, Says Sports V/riter In Team Analysis
BY' STAN COHN Sports Editor The Daily Californian
California's Golden Bears will sport the robes of the underdog when they take the field against the highly-touted Trojan eleven on the Memorial stadium turf tomorrow afternoon.
Almost as green as the grass they Will be playing on, the Bears must face a Trojan team which appears as deep in every position as the muddy waters of the Mississippi.
Coach Stub Allison has spent a hectic week trying to rebuild an eleven which has been riddled by injuries since the opening of the present campaign.
HAS THREE VETERANS Around three veterans, Bill Elmore, quarterback; Jim McDaniel, left guard; and Ralph Sauer, center, the Stubber has pasted together a team which has the fire of the 1937 and 1938 squads but which just doesn’t have the experience.
Surprise of the week came last Monday when Allison shifted Orv Hatcher, soph tailback, to right half in an effort to bolster the post abandoned for the remainder of the year by Louie Smith. The move will give the varsity more power in its own left on running plays. Hatcher will handle the weak side reverses, leaving the power plays to the right to Cliff Perry and Tony Firpo.
PERRY SURPRISES Perry has been the surprise of the season. Buried down on the fourth string for the past two years, the 160-pound breakaway star crashed his way into the starting lineup in the Oregon tilt by piling up more yardage than any other California back.
With the exception of Louie Smith, Harry Lieb and Ted Hubert the Bears are in pretty good condition. Because of a lack of reserve strength some of the first stringers may have to travel the full 60 minutes.
Jewish Council To Give Dinner
Burton Burnstein, president of the Jewish council, announces a dinner meeting of the group at Carl’s restaurant, Vernon and Crenshaw, Monday at 6 p.m.
Tickets may be obtained at the office of the Student Council on Religion, third floor Student Union, or from members of the organization.
NORTHWARD BOUND—Reminiicent of the exuberant team send-offs of former years was the Union station rally last night when hundreds of Trojan rooters jammed the tracks of the new terminal to wish the departing varsity t«am good luck in their game tomorrow with the University of California.
