Southerners Promise
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
of Chase Tomorrow DAILY
by Lee Schulman
Tulane’s Green Wave will roll Xto the coliseum Saturday, a hard Thtlng dc-or-die eleven.
"Those Trojans are big men and ,iev’ve got us gritting our teeth, there’s one thing sure and W’s the fact that we’ll give ’em ire than a run and maybe a good lase for their money,” said Lou Homas last night, star left half k of the Tulane Wave.
:e New Orleanians arrived on the campus early Tuesday morning immediately set up training ‘rters at the coliseum. Since then ^y have worked out daily in pre-nation for Saturday’s opening tilt.
lthough head coach “Monk’ (nonjs was unable to be reached, I was learned that he was very ^ncas; at the results of Tuesday’s Wednesday’s scrimmages in pariion witfi the way his team ped up before leaving New Or-ins Seturday night. Even at the ol yesterday’s practice the lm was still not back in top form. 31-man powerhouse seemed to the team play and coordination i it had developed in Louisiana, anovher day's work is expected eliminate any stiffness that the picked up on the three-day rite.

He feels the two teams are pretty even ar as their playing ability goes, if tne line holds hes confident good tight game and possibly m. Although he’s got six fresh -in his roster, as the new
Southern rules permit, none of them will start, and it’s doubtful as to whether they’ll get into the game at all.
According to Howard Renninger, assistant athletic director and head of sports publicity, the Green Wave has been fortunate enough to be minus all major injuries, the most serious since their arrival in Los Angeles being a severe toothache on the part of Co-captain Walter Mc-

The entire team seemed to feel i the same anxiety and determination j to return to the southland victor- j ious, but inadvertently admitted ; that they were up against a tough foe, and that a Tulane victory would be mighty hard, but not impossible feat.
With TCU sharing the same floor of the Biltmore as Tulane, there was a mighty spirit of intersectional

do anything to get my name in ,the papers! Seriously though, the tooth is okay now and 111 be out there Saturday with the rest of the fellows trying my darndest to push those Trojans around as much as
afternoon at Exposition paiCt, and the Wave, as well as the Trojans, are expected to watch the encounter immediately following a short workout at their respective fields. Both southern teams were anxious for the fray, and the Los Angeles elevens are going to have to look out in order to subdue the fight and spirit of these two squads.
It was stated that Tulane was on the watch for the new Trojan open attack, and that they had been concentrating on a new pass defense. The backfield was expected to pull a few tricks out of the bag also, with Thomas and McDonald slated for a lot of fancy ball handling.
The boys themselves were quiet on the matter though, and said that they'd do their showing off on Saturday afternoon. One way or another the clash tomorrow is going to be a humdinger, especially if the Wave is as determined as they were yesterday.
One thing is sure, though, and that is that New Orleans won’t have much to complain about no matter what the outcome, for those Tulane boys are as game and as fighting ready as any team ever was. It’s just a question of who can outclass wrom, and from all indications that's a very tough question.

Trojan Band to Play Special Arrangements
Director Cailliet Succeeds Pete Conn as Head of Campus Music Organization
If you rabid football fans can take your mind off tomorrow’s opening grid contest for a few minutes, try to lend an ear to some of the new arrangements to be played at the game by the Troian band, directed by Dr Lucien Cailliet, assisted by Ralph Rush.
Dr. Cailliet, who succeeds Pete Conn as director, has made new arrangements of the “Star Spangled Banner,’* ‘Fight On,” and “Alma Mater" that will give Trojan fans a real thrill. He has also made a special orchestration of Tulane's song. “Roll Green Wave.” and has written a medley of several SC songs, called “Homage to U.S.C.” FINE ARRANGER
Recognized nationally as one of the finest band arrangers in the country, Dr. Calliet has arranged for Leopold Stokowski, of RCA Victor, radio, and motion pictures.
Taking time from his other duties as associate professor of music and director of the SC orchestra, Dr. Cailliet has been hard at work these past few weeks, turning out these fine orchestrations, so it

Troy to Boom Spirit at Football Rally in
of '42
Bovard
Fighting Trojan spirit of ’42 will boom to the rafters of Bovard auditorium today at noon when the men and women of the Cardinal and Gold camp pack into Bovard auditorium to put their voices behind the lads who will carry the pigskin for Troy in ’42, and who, come tomorrow afternoon, will hurl their brain and brawn into the fracas to halt the invasion of Tulane’s Green Wave.
The crashing strains of “Fight On" will resound again as the Trojan band marches down the aisle to add its flashing best to the first football rally of the year.
SC yell leaders, under Russ Lindersmith, this year’s head yell king, will strain muscles and pull ligaments in the process of leading the assembled Trojans in ear-splitting, throat-parching yells which have been tucked away since last year's gridiron season.
Also on deck will be new head coach Jeff Cravath, who will briefly discuss the approaching grid season in general and tomorrow's Tu-lane-SC game in particular.
Whether or not a representative of the entertainment world will appear at the rally to add support to Troy’s morale building yell-fest, as was the case last year when "name” bands appeared, was still a matter of conjecture at a late hour last nights
Activity Books Remain on Sale in Bookstore
College without football Is like Hitler without a stooge, so— students who wish to be admitted to the Trojan rooting section for this Saturday's game with Tulane can still purchase student body 'activity books at the cashier's cage in the Student Union bookstore.

Students who have not bought one should do so at once in order to take advantage of the saving offered to holders of activity books.

Search Begins for Old Megs
Stevens Opens ReligiousWeek
“Can We Keep the Faith?”
Bishop W. Bertrand Stevens of the Los Angeles diocese of Protestant Episcopalians will answer that question in an assembly called for Monday By President Rufus B. von KleinSmid.
“Bishop Stevens appeals to reason rather than to emotion and is noted for his ability to present religion intelligently and interestingly,’' explained J. Randolph Sasnett, SC's new coordinator of religious activities.
The convocation will be the main feature of SC’s observance of National Religious Education week which President Roosevelt indorses as an excellent means of building and shaping public morale at the present time.
Those present on the platform with Bishop Stevens and President von KleinSmid will be Helen Moreland, dean of women; Francis Bacon, counselor of men; A'-bert S. Raubenheimer, dean of the College of Letters. Arts and Sciences; Robert John Taylor, dean of the Graduate School of Religion; and Sasnett.
Big Chief Sitting Bull and his fellow Chickasaw scalpers mutter, "How, how, how” when they approve their fellow redmens’ efforts; the Cambridge and Oxford men shout, “Nice try, nice try 'ol chap, jolly nice try.”
The Brooklyn Dodgers threaten the lives of their rivals with, “Cut his throat.” “Take dem robbers out” or “Moider de bums,” but the Southern California Trojans are faced with an alarming situation which will crop up at the 9C-Tulane grid battle tomorrow if me-
in its first test on the long and hard climb from the depths back to the inner circle of top football teams, Troy’s potent varsity eleven clashes with Tulane’s strong Green Wave tomorrow afternoon at 3 p.m. on the coliseum turf.
Some 75,000 fans are expected to welcome Jeff Cravath into the ranks of coast conference coaches, and see the struggle that will go a long way in determining if SC has another title contender, or is still in the midst of its greatest gridiron depression.
GAME A TOSSUP
On paper, the game is considered as a tossup. with both teams boosting powerful aerial attacks, strong first teams, and a similar weakness in reserves. Although SC is a local favorite, as SC grid club has yet to enter an opening game on the short end of the odds.
Cardinal and Gold hopes were dealt a severe blow during the week when Jack Trout, ace fullback, was declared ineligible due to a grade deficiency. Otto Killian, a tackle reserve was also lost due to scholastic difficulties.
RESERVE PROBLEM
Almost every squad in the country is faced with the reserve problem due to war conditions, therefore this deficiency may not prove as overbearing to Troy as it now seems.
Cravath will employ a style of attack entirely new to Trojan followers. Speed and deception will be featured when the Thundering Herd gets the ball, and with several top-flight passers in the lineup, the coliseum air is due t*
be filled with flying football*.
As far as the starting squad it concerned, the Trojans will be represented by 10 veteran* and a former spartan.

APPEAL MADE
Yell King Russ Lindersmith has appealed to the potential megaphone users to scour corners, closets. bread-boxes, empty kegs and attic rafters for megaphones to use at the game. Greeks and independent organizations are asked to rustle up every megaphone or reasonable facsimile that adorns their halls or occupies their basements.
Freshmen should make their debut as loyal Trojans by seeking institutions that offer megaphones in return for three boxtops of “Dr. Wilbur Waddleberry's Athlete’s Foot Remedy” or two subscriptions to Emily Post's latest etiquette book, “Tips for Rushees at Greek Dinners. ’’
STUNTS PLANNED
Card stunts, half-time tricks and yells will be in order for the Trojan rooters, but individual initiative in obtaining new megaphones and cooperation in conserving the gadgets on hand are needs that cannot be over-emphasized.
This is the final plea of the week by the promoters of spirit, noise, and cooperation. Only if the resources on hand are distributed equally and conserved for the future, and if the ingenuity of nonpossessors of megaphones is applied, will the first game be a huge success in the eyes of Yell King Lindersmith.
Squires Schedule Business Meeting
The Trojan Squires, SC honorary service organization, will hold their first business meeting of the year today at 12:30 in 206 Administration.
“Twenty-eight newly elected members have returned with the anticipation of making this the organization's greatest year,” said Bob Campbell, president.
The aim of the Squires is to render service to the school. Campbell, aided by Kenny Galpin, secretary, and Bill McCurdy, treasurer, hopes to maintain the standards of the organiaztion.
This year.^j^ires will combine with other organizations to supervise the handling of card stunts at the various football games.
