Card Innovations Preview Saturday
New card stunts will be a feature of the Saturday football season opener, to be executed by the rooting section with cards of a metallic tinfoil composition. The cards are not made of metal, as previously announced.
Seen from tti* opposite side of the coliseum, the intricate manipulations of the cards will result in a life-like baby cougar, replete with wagging tail, and a Trojan football helmet above the figures. “1940.' A flip of the cards will transform the scene into a giant Trojan warrior over the word. “Troy.”
In another colorful card stunt, the metallic shine of a red and gold "SC” will be framed over a black background. The combination background alternates black and white at the direction of the cheer leader.
Card stunt committee applicants and students interested in yell leading are asked to report to Eddy Davis today at 3 p.m. in the Trojan Knight office. Novice yell leaders will be taught the principles of cheer direction and card stunt supervision. Only freshman applicants for the yell king post next year are eligible.

Student Leaders Hold Confab
To promote friendly relations and further good will between the students of UCLA and SC, Chuck Johnston. ASSC president, met with James De Vere, president of the UCLA student body, on the Westwood campus yesterday.
The Trojan senate has invited the Bruin council to join them in creating better relations among students of the two universities. Plans are being formulated for a joint dinner of the student executive groups. Johnston said.
Purpose of the inter-university activity, Johnston declared, is to curtail the rival vandalism of the students during past football seasons. The executive groups of both schools are of the opinion that exchange social functions will bring a clearer understanding of existing difficulties, mutual cooperation of student members, and eradication of hoodlumism which has resulted in serious property damage in anticipation of past sports competition.
