Taking up the battle where they left off against the Stanford Indians, Southern Californias battle scarred Trojans answer the challenge of the fighting Golden Bears from Berkeley tomorrow afternoon in the Olympic stadium in the renewal of a grid rivalry dating back to 1915.
Already having run the gauntlet of Utah, Oregon State, Washington State, Loyola, and Stanford successfully, the Thundering Herd goes to the post in defense of its Pacific coast conference and national football title won in 1931. No* since the days of the late Andy Smith’s wonder teams has a Bear sQuad looked so formidable or dangerous as the one facing the Trojans tomorrow.
Determined To Win
Entering the fray with the knowledge that to lose would mean th® termination of their hope to reach the same goal attained by last season’s mighty eleven. Coach Howard Jones and his players are determined to keep their record unblemished or free from defeat. Not once in five encounters has the Trojan goal line been crossed. A stout forw-ard wall that reaches great heights when playing with its back to the wall, has saved the Cardinal-and-Gold warriors time and again from em-barrasing situations.
Beaten twice by Santa Clara and Washington State, California will make its supreme effort of the year in an endeavor to accomplish that which only one team in the nation has been able to do once in 16 games during the past two years, beat the Trojans. St. Mary’s Gallopin’ Gaels triumphed over the men of Troy last year in the first game and this fall they fought California to a 12-12 tie.
Schaldach To Start
With renewed hope after recovery of their sensational halfback and main threat, Hank Schaldach Bill Ingram's men will give the Warhorse a trying test. Schaldach is the original hard luck gentleman. For two years he has set his heart on playing against Troy, but every game he has been forced to watch this contest from the bench because of injuries. His main thought and that of his teammates is to wipe off the overwhelming defeat in ’30 and square accounts with Jones and his team.
Against the confident Cal aggregation Jones will send a squad that will go in to fight, knowing that its reputation is at stake and that even without Mohler they can still play football against the best. Beset by injuries most of the

PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 3— (UP)—Thirteen Stanford university freshmen faced expulsion from school after being captured in Roble hall, girl’s dormitory, after a “raid” in which 36 pajama-clad first-year men invaded the hall tonight.
Scantily clad co-eds created a bedlam of screams as the “invaders” for half an hour ran shouting and whooping down corridors on the three floors of the hall.
Windows were broken and tables and chairs smashed to bits as the “attackers” stormed the hall from three sides.
The “attack” is a traditional affair made each year after the university “pajamerino rally.”
After 30 minutes of triumph, the “invaders” realized they might be trapped. All but 13 managed to escape. One, it was reported, hid under a bed, was shielded by occupants of the room and quietly slipped out a window and down a fire escape,
