“This record may form a background of the forces at work today, forces which we may not be able to see because we are too close to them,” added Dr. Nordskog.

“Vive la USC!”
With this as an inspirational battle-cry, Troy is preparing to swoop down on ASCAP with retaliatory defiance!
Undaunted by the ban of “All Hail” and “Fight On” from the majority of the nation's airways by ASCAP. Trojans have dug far back into the music files and brought to life a fistful of SC songs.
Chief source of these songs is the University of Southern California song book, published in j 1914. Inc^ad of “All Hail.” the ether may resound with the stirring time, “U.S.C. Forever,” which goes something like this;
Tome, brother, let’s send up * rousing good cheer,
Vtve U USC.
Out! Out! with your voices, let everyone hear,
Vive la USC.
Come. Med-ical. Dent-ical, Orat-oree, Law-ical, Musical, Acade-mee,
We are one, all loyal are we,
Vive la USC.”
Another choice musical tid-bit, which was drawn from a musty song book of 25 years ago, is the unique “Hobble Gobble.” Picture the Los Angeles coliseum on a football Saturday, filled with thousands of excited fans, who stand in pure admiration as the SC rooting section renders “Hobble Gobble’’ with great fervor:
“We are a crowd of college boys, as jolly as can be;
Cardinal ls our color, and our college USC.
Onward is our motto,
and we get there, don’t you see? Varsity of Southern California. Who are, who are, O, who are, who are we?
We are, we are, we are the USC. Oh, Hobble Gobble, Razzle, Dazzle, Sis Boom, Bah.”
A disinterested observer predicted yesterday that, with the republication of the following song, thousands of raccoon coats would be sold by local haberdasheries. The song. “Clear the Track,” Is sung to the tune, “Rufus, Rastus, Johnson Brown”: (Ed. note: the blank space is for insertion of the name of the opposing college.)
