Trojans Unaffected by Commissioners1 Eligibility Ruling
For the second time in the history of the Pacific coast ; conference, member universities felt the axe of Athletic Commissioner Edwin N. Atherton, who declared 22 freshman students and 13 Oklahoma and Texas high school 1 athletes ineligible for* competition in a purge over the weekend.
Atherton charged five institu- | tions, Stanford, Oregon, Oregon State. Washington State, and Washington had recruited and sub-j sidizea athleti s in violation of the I conference's regulations.

Hutton Reports '41 E! Rodeo on Presses'
Trojan Yearbook to Make Campus Appearance Soon
make last minute touches on the big SC yearbook preparatory to j distribution sometime next week.
Editor Jack Hutton pointed out that the last bits of copy have ! been turned in, and the mechanical j processes are well on their way to completion. Binding should begin about Wednesday, he commented, and will continue for nearly a week before campus delivery can be made.
“The last serious bottleneck of the El Rodeo was the index.” Hut- j ton said, “but with that out of the , way the book is practically fin- • ished.”
CHANGED GREATLY
Hutton emphasized that the 1941 annual has been changed greatly from the style of previous El Rodeos.

CO\ER REMAINS MYSTERY
Editor Hutton would not reveal what the color or the material for the cover was. A recent article in the Wampus declared that Hutton had the idea for the cover last year while serving as assistant editor under Jimmy Roberts, but held it back because it was so good.
A special addition to the sports section is the use of small compilations of statistics from varsity football games. Hutton declared that nearly twice as many grid action shots have been used in the present edition than were included in the 1940 publication.
Staff for the past two semesters has been Hutton, editor; Winnie Clare, associate editor; Charles Carter business manager; and Bob Reilly, assistant editor.

Eighty cast members of the all-U show, “The American WTay,” went back to the routine existence of university life after the curtain came down on the final performance last Saturday evening in Bovard auditorium.
Attracting a larger crowd than did either of the two previous performances the show was witnessed by an audience that more than filled the lower floor of the auditorium.
With some of the players still looking distinguished by the gray pigments in their hair, they are reagy to lay aside the grease paint for books and classes. All of the cast agreed that before any academic activity could take place there was a uniform and unanimous need for ebout 144 hours per cast member of sleep.
Rehearsals for the show began five weeks ago before Easter recess and continued steadily, night after night, until the eve of the first performance 'on Wednesday. Many times rehearsal lasted nearly until midnight when the show was in its final stages of preparation.
Student directors under the immediate supervision of Edmund Evans, drama coach, alleviated his work that ran into more than 400 extra hours of work and above his regular classes and his work on his Ph D dissertation.
Whether student opinion of the production was good, bad, or indifferent. most of the cast maintain that they are glad it is finished, but they would not mind doing it all over again.

Luftwaffe Damages Historic British Buildings, Shrines
LONDON, May 11—(U.P.)— Nazi bombs sowed death, flame, and destruction in Britain’s imperial heart last night. They wrecked the house of commons chamber, dumped debris upon Westminister Abbey’s shrine, fired the British museum and blackened the weathered face of Big Ben, official reports disclosed tonight.
But Big Ben's massive hands still wheeled the hours and the famous chimes rang out again to London as the thin wail of sirens tonight sounded the signal for possibly another German attack.
ALL-CLEAR SOUNDED
No raiders appeared, however, and a little latet the all-clear was sounded.
Last night’f. attack, it seemed plain, was without equal for damage wrought upon Britain’s ancient, hallowed monuments.
The attack:
1.	Damaged the commons chamber so gravel/ that it was doubted the mother of parliaments could again assemble there until the structure had been rebuilt.
2.	Scarred Big Ben's face, putting out of kilter the apparatus that broadcasts the chimes to far-flung outposts of the empire on which the sun never sets, but failing ;o halt the clock itself.
ABBEY ROOF BURNED
3.	Burned the roof of Westminster abbey, showering debris down upon the hallowed floor wh^vr Britain’s kings and queens for 500 years have assumed the crown and mantle of office and where Britain’s great lie buried.
5.	Set the rear of the British museum, world's greatest treasury of man’s Knowledge, ablaze but failed to destroy many rare arc objects previously taken to a place of safety.
6.	Cost the Nazi luftwaffe a record-breaking total of 33 bomb;rs under the guns of the Royal Air Force’s night fighters and antiaircraft guns.

Billiard Expert Demonstrates Trick Shot Skill
Charles C. Peterson Presents Exhibition Tomorrow Night
Ex-President Says U.S. ‘Lacking in Unity;*
Asks British Aid Without American Convoys
NEW YORK, May 11—(U.P.)—Former President Herbert Hoover, asserting that the nation is lacking in unity, warned tonight that the “least perilous road” for the United States in the current crisis is to give all possible war materials to
Britain—but without convoys.
“The solution,” he said, “is not for us to go to war but to give her (Britain) every tool that will readily aid her regardless of our own preparedness.'’
SPEAKS ON RADIO Hoover, addressing the nation over the NBC red network at 10:30 p.m., said it was his duty to speak bn the basis of experience obtained as former commander-of-chief of the armed forces, and as a member of the nation’s war council in the last war.
Expressing “abhorrence” of totalitarianism. he said:
“ . . . let me state at the outset that I support provisions of the maximum tools of war to Britain; that I am convinced we can give this maximum during Her next critical months only if we keep out of this war; that putting our navy into action is joining the war; that the whole European war situation is in transform ation; that America is as yet unprepared even for adequate defense; that our people arc not united.”
ASKS TOLERANCE Asserting that “we are not already in this war,” he said that the nation needs calm thinking anc: tolerance.
‘ Strong men do not to rush,” he said. “If we stay out of this war we can take more risks in parting with our tools of war.”
But he added, it is a "certainty that we shall be at war the moment our navy is put into action.” “We are at war when we seni our boys eith?r by air or by sea or on expeditionary forces with an intent to shoot at the Germans. It would be more consistent with American hones cy and American courage for us to face the straight issue of a declaration of war^y the congress as the constitution provides than to creep into an undeclared war/'
SC Legal Group Initiates 18
Delta Theta Phi, national legal fraternity, held its annual Founders’ day banquet Saturday night at the Hollywood Athletic club at which time 18 students of the SC School of Law were inducted into the fraternity, and officers for the coming year elected.
Robert Thompson, new editor- inchief of the SC Law Review, and Robert Buck, newly-elected president of the law school student body, were presented to the alumni members of the fraternity.
Honorary membership in Delta Theta Phi was bestowed upon Superior Judge Caryl M. Sheldon at the banquet. Among the evening’s speakers were 'Clarence Kincaid, judge of the superior court, who spoke to the gathered law students and alumni on the similarity between his student days during World War I. and the turbulent days ahead for the present students of law.
Judge Kincaid emphasized the importance of the student lawyers completing their legal education, even though they may be interrupted by "call to the service of their country.
“The missionary of billiards’’ visits the campus tomorrow in the person of Charles C. Peterson, who will demonstrate his skill at 7 p.m. on the tennis court of the Alpha Delta Pi house, 814 West 28th street.
Peterson, who is the billiard world's fancy-shot champion, tours the nation every year giving free exhibitions and instruction to college students throughout the country.
Those attending will find adequate bleacher space provided on the tennis court and there is no admission charge.
Starting in 1932, Peterson annually has covered 25.000 miles in his efforts to popularize the game of billiards and demonstrate his skill before approximately 100.000 students a year. He is sponsored by the National Billiard association.
Arnold Eddy, general manager of the associated students, has seen Peterson play and in reporting his miraculous shots said:
"He can make a ball hop up on the rail and come back down. I've seen him shoot a silver dollar from between two balls at one end of the table and make it roll to the other side and bounce back to its original place between the balls.”
The master of over 500 fancy shots, Peterson will explain the fundamentals of the game and then issue the challenge:
“Show me a shot I can’t make.”
After his talk and demonstration he will remain for some time to answer questions and explain any techniques that students might wish t» leam.

Italian Press Attacks U.S.
ROME. Ma7 11—(UJ?)—The press today charged with almost complete unanimity thaf. the United States shortly will enter the war as Britain’s ally and attacked the "insolent” American attitude toward the Axis.
The leading newspaper of tha Fascist party, the Resto Del Car-ino, charged that the United States seeks to maintain footholds in Egypt and the British isles from which to attack Europe.
It forecast that a “long distance’* war between the Axis and the United States would soon develop.
“While the most terrible offensive is beinj unleashed against the British isles and traffic on the Atlantic," said the paper, “and despite the enormous influence which the Balkan campaign has on the Mediterranean, Britain holds one last hope—the United States.
“America, therefore, is preparing to enter the war in time to gal-vanjze Britain’s worn out body. The conflict is on its way to becoming a long distance war between Europe and the United States.”
Popolo Di Roma in a front page editorial charged that “the United States is becoming insolent.”
