Talk by Judge Schauer On S. C. Broadcast by Don Lee System
Judge B. Rey Schauer, distin-; guished California jurist, presented an outline survey relative to physical education as a vocation over KHJ and 14 associated stations yesterday afternoon. The broadcast featured the bi-weekly Trojan ' period over the Columbia-Don Lee network.
His address follows:
“In some peculiar manner there has developed a rather wide spread misconception that the major courses in universities for the | training of teachers of physical education were created for the express purpose of providing snap courses for athletes.
“Also, that such courses are overflowing with strong backed, weak minded athletes who have a soft time for four years, playing interesting games and doing very little study.
Supposition Untrue
I “Such a picture is far from lhe truth and does gross injustice to the institutions and departments concerned as well as to education, and the public schools in general.
“Years ago, The University of Southern California attempted to correct this impression and established a thoroughly scientific course j offering broad educational training for those wishing to specialize in the field of physical education teaching.
“This course today is recognized throughout the United States as not only one of the most progressive and scientific courses in the entire field, but as one of the most difficult courses in the university.
Courses Lead to Degrees
“Both undergraduate and graduate courses are offered; the first leading to the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Education degree and the second leading to the Master of Arts or Master ot Science in Education degree.
“At the same time the student qualifies for the special physical education and general teaching credentials.
“At the present time approximately 200 students are enrolled in the undergraduate major program and about 70 in the graduate. Only •a small percentage of the undergraduates are outstanding athletes

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—(U.P)— Speaker John N. Garner today told President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt that congress would pass a beer bill at the coming session of congress but he was uncertain if President Hoover would sign it.
The ruddy-faced, white-haired vice-president-elect returned to the capital today after a long rest in Texas. He left a few hours later for Baltimore to meet the train bringing Roosevelt to the White House for a conference with Mr. Hoover.
Garner said beer was one subject which he discussed with Roosevelt and on leaving the trtain added:
“I told him we would have
beer but that I didn’t know about the signature.”
Earlier in the day, Garner in telling newspapermen he was anxious to get “in harness” again, predicted a beer-for-revenue bill at the short session was certain of passage.
He said a “horse-back” estimate placed revenue available from a tax on beer at $250,000,000 a year. Such a tax, he estimated, might obviate the necessity of levying i ; new imposts by congress to meet ! j the ever increasing treasury defi- i cit.
In forecasting immediate action j by congress on legalization of beer, i Gamer joined forces with other I congressional leaders
Forest Fire Rages Out of Control on San Jacinto Slopes
RIVERSIDE, Calif., Nov. 22—(LIE) —A tenacious brush and forest fire raged out of control on the northwest slope of the San Jacinto mountains tonight despite the efforts of several hundred hastily conscripted firefighters.
Described as the worst fire of the year in this region, the flames already have burned over 2,000 acres of watershed and scrub timber land, all within state areas.
Federal forest rangers said that San Bernardino national forest areas were not immediately in danger of the flames but that a sudden wind might send them racing into valuable stands or timber.
Election Farce, Says G.B. Shaw
LONDON, Nov. 22.—<Ui!> —The United States presidential election was not important, George Bernard Shaw said tonight on the eve of his departure on a holiday cruise.
The famous dramatist, who previously had refused to comment on the election, gave the following opinion :
“The presidential election was of no importance. The United States with Roosevelt the second as the figurehead will be just as it was with Roosevelt the first or Hoover. Besides it was not really an election. It was what all elections tend to be under our sham democracy—a ridiculous stampede.”

Jonesmen Need Victory : Tomorrow To Remain In League Lead *
By Bud Testa
Rain, wind, or snow. Southern California's horde of determined football players will step on tha gridiron tomorrow' afternoon at Seattle with but one thought i»j I mind—to defeat the Washington i Husky and bring the Pacific coast conference championship to the portals of Troy for the second consecutive year.
Wild rumors of bad weather, and a powerful Washington team do not bother Howard Jones’ Thundering Herd. The men of Troytown know they have a tough game ahead of them, and realize that they must win to stay at the top of he conference race. Only U.C.L.A. can hope to tie for the crown and the Bruins must topple W'ashington Stato and Washington. '
Squad In Good Shape Coach Howard Jones and hia ! squad of 36 will arrive in Seattle ! at 1:30 o’clock this afternoon, with i a light work-out in the afternoon j on tap to allow ihe boys to limber up their muscles. The entire squad, with the exception of ! Ernie Smith, who is in a Los Aa-| geles hospital and possibly Gordon Clark, is in excellent condition and } eager for the fray.
If Clark is relegated to the ! sidelines, Jones will probably insert “Brick” Bright into the start-j ing lineup. The other members ! of the starting backfield will pro-I bably be Bob Getz at full, Bob I Erskine at the other half, and Ho-; mer Griffith at quarter.
Weather Uncertain The weather, the big question j mark of the grid battle, 13 as uncertain as the Southern California j backfield has been this year. W:ea» j ther experts in Seattle have ven-| tured the opinion that bright and j cheery skies will greet the grid j fans tomorrow. W'eather prognosti-! cators have a bad habit of guess-j ing the wrong way. however, and if they live up to their usual standard, the Trojans may have to I slither through a considerable *• j mount of mud.
Passes are expected to play aa important part in the Trojan attack, and with Messrs. Clark, Me* Neish, Warburton, Griffith, and Erskine well-veraed in the art of tossing a slimy and muddy ball j around, rain should not dampen | the ardor of the Trojan aerial j game.
Getz To Pound Line
I Jones will undoubtedly make ; good use of Bob Getz's driving j power tomorrow, and the big full* back will be given plenty of opportunities to crack the Husky ! forward wall. With Homer Griffith in there to do the punting, Trojan followers need have no fear about the kicking end of the game.
Bob Erskine appears to be tho answer to Coach Jones’ prayer for a blocking halfback, and with this versatile gridder in Ihe game, the Trojan running attack is certaia to go places. W'ith Captain Tay Brown and his mates in fine fettle, the line will be well able to tako care of itself in any going, and the Trojan board of strategy need not sprout any grey hairs over the S.C. forwards. Aaron Rosenberg and Johnny Dye will probably open at guards, with Larry Stevens and Oliver Bardin ready for duty. Curt Youel will open at center with Jorgenson sure to see action.	i
