SC Faces Irish With 15 Players Stricken by Flu
By FRED NICHOLAS
Between the current influenza epidemic and the invading “Fighting Irish,” the Southern California football squad will be in for a busy afternoon tomorrow at 2 p.m. in the coliseum when it renews its intersectional rivalry with Notre Dame in the final game of the season.
Two new victims of the flu were added to the Good Samaritan hospital rolls last night when Bill Bundy, left halfback, and Sal Mena, right end, joined their 13 teammates, bringing the total of ailing football players to 15.
MAY PLAY
Six first team members have been hospitalized, but according to Dr. Leland Chapman, physician at the hospital, no one appears to be definitely out of the game tomorrow. The only player released from the Good Samaritan yesterday was Jerry Bowman, reserve quarterback.
Headman Howard Jones, who missed Wednesday’s practice, was back in charge of the team, but Sam Barry who took his place was shipped off to his home suffering with influenza.
Still occupying hospital cots after yesterday’s light session were: RAMBLERS TO ARRIVE
Chuck Morrill, center; Phil Duboski, halfback; Jack Banta, right halfback; Ben Sohn, left guard; Don Wilier, left tackle; Russell Roquet, tackle; Quentin Klenk, tackle; Norman Verry, tackle; Bob Beeson, halfback; Bill Musick, fullback; Bill Davis, quarterback; Ash Norris, tackle; and Carl Benson, left guard.
Notre Dame will arrive in Los Angeles tomorrow shortly before the kickoff. The squad worked out in Tucson yesterday and will remain in Arizona today. Coach Elmer (Continued on Page Five)

Influenza Spreads in Western Area; Disease Said Mild'
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5— (UP)— Influenza “A,” the mildest but most contagious form of the flu today swept through Califomia, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Arizona and New Mexico at a speed approach-ing the spread of the 1918 epidemic.
SOME AREAS RECOVERING
Because of the mild nature of the disease, most of the cases do not reach public health records through doctors or hospitals, but school absences and the sick lists of places employing large numbers of persons indicated that 10 to 20 per cent of the population was stricken m some areas.
Influenza “A” usually comes and goes in two weeks for a given locality. and the first communities affected are already showing a diminishing flu rate. Health authorities estimated the epidemic would have run its course in western states within two months.
MANY SCHOOLS CLOSE
The mild form of influenza is seldom fatal, and there was no positive death toll attributable to the epidemic. Dr. Berram Brown. California health director, said several deaths attributed to the epidemic might have been type "B” influenza, or complicated by pneumonia or old age.
Scores of schools were closed in the western states and hundreds of others were operating with large absentee lists. Assemblies were forbidden in most schools.
Alumni, Students to Attend Dance
In spite of the horde of influenza germs flying around, students and alumni are still planning to attend the annual Homecoming dance tomorrow night, the final event in the 1940 Homecoming celebration.

Defense to Cost 35 Billion
WASHINGTON. Dec. 5—(U.P)—A group of government economists estimated today that the United States will spend approximately $35,000,000,000 on defense over the next five years—an average of nearly $270 for each of the nation’s 131,000.000 men, women and children.
The estimate was contained in a report submitted by a committee of agriculture department economists including Louis H. Bean, well-known economic adviser to vicepresident-elect Henry A. Wallace. The report was entitled “The impact of war and the defense program on agriculture.”
It said that congress thus far has appropriated and made commitments totalling $17,000,000,000 for the rearmament effort and that the entire program, as now envisioned, would necessitate over the next five years appropriations of at least an equivalent amount.
The committee placed 1940 defense expenditures at $2,500,000,000 and estimated preparedness spending for the next five years as follows; 1941—$7,500,000,000; 1942—$9.-
ooo.ooo.ooo: 1943—$7,500,000,000; 1944
—$6,000,000,000; and 1945—$5,000.-000,000. *
