Whereas the United States has not become a battlefield of World War II, and hence Americans have more than usual to be thankful for, and whereas a belief in God serves as a basis for faith and hope for the future and as an outlet for our words of thankfulness, I proclaim today’s all-university meeting: a Thanksgiving: assembly and strongly urge that all Trojans and alumni attend.

Thundering Herd set for hapless Bruins
by Warren Steinberg
Troy’s Thundering Herd gallops onto the coliseum turf Saturday afternoon at 2:30 as a topheavy favorite to trample over the Westwood Cublings for the second time this year.
•At stake in the game is the Trojan-Bruin victory bell, revenge for last year’s defeat at the hands of the Rose Bowl Uclans, and a chance for the locals to redeem themselves in the eyes of the public before SC tangles with the Washington Huskies Jan.

For the first time since the second game, Jeff Cravath will have his entire backfield talent in tip top physical condition.
The “terrible trio,’* Jim Hardy,
Ainslee Bell, and Doug Miller, are back in the driver’s sea. Johnny Evans, by virtue of sensational practice performances, has taken over the right half spot with George Callanan and Milford Dreblow in reserve.
Duane Whitehead has fully recovered from the leg injury he received in the San Diego game and will start at fullback. Edsel Curry, who doubles in brass at left half, Jerry Shipkey, and Chuck Page back up ; Whitehead. Eddie Saenz, Troy’s fireball who is fresh off the injury list, is ready to romp at left half. Earle Parsons will spell Saenz.
“Old” Norm Verry is back at left guard after damaging his left knee in the opening UCLA game. Dick Jamison will open at the guard spot, but Verry, a 235 pound three year letterman, will see considerable action. The rest of the line remains the same as that which started the last two games.
Comparative statistics for five common foes reveal a huge advantage for the men of Troy. The
common opponents are California (twice), College of Pacific, San Diego Navy, and the Fourth Air Force.
The crosstowners lost all five frays, SC won three and lost two. The Trojans netted five touchdowns, UCLA three. Cravath’s boys gained 1131 yards net, the Bruins only 619. Troy tried 74 passes and completed 30, while the Uclans tried 60 and connected only 14 times. The Bruins even have a higher percentage of balls lost on fumbles than do the “fumbling” Trojans. Only in punting do the lads of the Blue and Gold have an edge, 35.4 yards to 34 yards per punt . Reports from Babe Horrell’s head-Continued on Page Six)
