Dance to Show Victory Mood?
Indulging in what may prove wishful thinking, members of the Phrateres club, women's campus social organization, yesterday tabbed their Saturday night Circus ball as “a dance to celebrate the Trojan victory over UCLA.”
Dress for the semi-formal affair will be date dresses and suits. Admission fee is $2.40 per couple. It will be held at the Chase hotel, 17250 Ocean Front boulevard, Santa Monica, with circus decorations providing a background for the music of Jack McCarthy and his orchestra.
Dance time will be from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. SC grid members are to be guests of the Phrateres for the evening, according to President Marie York. Jay Perrin, Don Clark. Bob Hendren, and Gordon Gray will be among those attending.
A miniature football autographed by members of the team will be the door prize for the evening.
Proceeds of the dance are to go to the campus YWCA building fund and will be used for the purchase a refrigerator for the proposed building. Miss York said.
Tickets for the dance may be purchased from any Phrateres member at the YWCA or at the ticket booth in front of the Student Union. They will also be sold at the door.

throat gargle. Skyrockets will be issued at half-time so that the rooting section can let the world know that SC is playing its greatest game of the season.
RECORD CROWD An expected crowd of 103,800 will be on hand to witness the titanic struggle of the two great football teams. The coliseum has only 101,-000 seats but the game should pack them in the aisles to set a new coliseum record. The record now stands at 103.303 which was set in 1939 when these same universities met.
The usual pre-g a m e paint-splashing tricks are absent this year. Tommy Trojan doesn’t have a pale blue color and the UCLA campus remains unblemished except for the aerial pamphlet bombardment which hit the Westwood school this morning. “Ruin the Bruins, George Tirebiter’s Revenge,” was the slogan on the leaflets. George has been in safe keeping all week to insure his health for the activities tomorrow.
BAND ANTICS -
Clarence Sawhill, SC band director, will lead his prize musicians in half time and pre-game stunts. The band has planned to give the three-ring circus and a tribute to Thanksgiving day during the halftime. In place of the ’‘Howdy Do" stunt, the band will enter with "Hi Ho’’ from the theme music of “Snow White.” Two new songs will be played by the band during the game. “Go Go Calypso" will take its place alongside “Fight On” and “Tommy Trojan,” another new song, will add to the variety of numbers.
SURPRISE STUNTS Life photographers, who attend most functions but take no pictures, will snap the Trojan rooting section in action. Twenty stunts have been arranged for the halftime activities. Stunt designers have been working in cooperation with UCLA and the two sections are planning surprises and animated displays which should top anything attempted at previous SC-UCLA games.
Students at both universities have been looking forward to the game Saturday. Tonight, Trojans will rally in Bovard and Bruins will gather

Student Odds Favor Troy
by Al Hix
If Freud were alive today, and if he were a gambling man, his money woud undoubtedly be on SC tomorrow’s big game, because psychology is wholeheartedly behind a Trojan win.
Teaching assistants A. A. Canfield and Bob Wi’son have been conducting polls in their four psychology classes for the past seven weeks, asking the students to indicate by percentages their favorite teams in certain given football games throughout the country each week. In addition, at the bottom of each sheet, the students have been asked to record what they consider to be the odds in fa\or of, or against, SC’s winning hi the UCLA game.
SIGNIFICANT RESULTS
The results as they regard tomorrow’s game have been significant. On Oct. 3 an average taken from the prognostications of the 200 students showed Troy as a 9 to 11 underdog in public opinion. On Oct. 10, following an SC win, the local boys were given a 50-50 choice. By Oct. 17 the tables had tunned and the guessers picked SC as an 11 to 9 favorite over the Brums. Last Friday the psychological tipsters went all out and said that Ferraro’s little arm has a 13 to 7 chance of routing the enemy, almost a 2 to 1 ratio.
At the same time, on Nov. 14, the classes gave Notre Dame an 11 to 9 edge over us.
PURPOSE OF POLLS
The purpose of these polls, as explained by Mr. Wilson, is to prove that if a large enough study group is used, the odts which public opinion will set on the possibility of a team winning in a series of games will actually correspond to the number of games the team does win in that series. In other words, if public opinion picks a team as a 3 to 1 favorite in four games, it will be right three times out of the four.
PUBLIC OPINION
“Unfortunately,” Mr. Wilson grinned ruefully, “the results of these polls do not give us any advantage over—shall we say—‘unscientific’ bettors. If we were to bet the games as public opinion picks them, all we could expect to do would be break even.”
The polls will continue until the end of the football season, when all the results will be tabulated and the theory can either be proved or disproved. So far, all that the figures indicate are trends.
Gridders Eye Pasadena Bid
by Benson Srere
Jeff Cravath’s undefeated Trojan juggernaut and Bert LaBrucherie’s three-time loser Bruins, each with one eye on the other and one eye gazing wistfully over the rim of the Coliseum toward Pasadena, lock T bumpers tomorrow after-! noon at 2:15 in the big saucer before an anticipated record throng of more than 103,000 ticket holders.
A win or tie for the Trojans will send the University avenue entrants in the PCC Rose Bowl race galloping Into their fourth New Year’s day engagement in the last five years.
But if the Westwooders manage to upset the favored SC club, and if Cal and Oregon do the expected and defeat Stanford and Oregon State, respectively, nothing but utter confusion will prevail as conference moguls will find themselves with a four-way tie in the standings, with each school
having a good case to present on
TROJAN TERRORS—End Er-rue Tolman (left) and plunging fullback Verl Lillywhite (below) are slated to start tomorrow against UCLA's “out-to-stop-SC" Bruins. Lillywhite leads the PCC in punting, while Tolman is one of Jeff Cravath's fancy pass-snatchers.

Don't Forge. Your I.D. Cards! ★ ^ ★ ★ UCLA Tilt Complete Sellout
No more tickets are Available for tomorrow’s - ame with UCLA, making th^con-test a complete sellout John Morley, ticket manager, announced yesterday. *
The last 135 available tickets to the game were sold by noon yesterday to students who did not '.purchase activity books.
Mr. Morley reminded, stu-
dents that they must have their yellow student identification card plus their activity book, or ticket, for admission to the Coliseum tomorrow.
Students were reminded by Arnold Eddy that possible expulsion from school faces any student found scalping tickets for tomorrow’s game.
Gates will open at 11:30.
why it should be the one to me«t Michigan.
BOWL BID?
The feeling prevails locally the! if the Bruins can beat the Troys only by a one or two touchdown margin, the bowl bid would be tendered Cal. although SC trounced the Bears. 39-14. A decisive Brum victory would probably give the 1945 conference champs another chance to defend the honor of the wert against the Big Nine representative.
It will be difficult for Cravath not to remember that he has receipted for the only two defeats that SC has ever suffered from the Bruins. Both times, in 1942 and last year, the win sent UCLA into their only Rose Bowl games.
The tilt should turn out to be a wide-open offensive show for the fans with the two squads throwing the proverbial touchdown play at each other on every down.
EARLY FAVORITES
The choice of the experts in pre-season prognostications to capture the conference title, the Bruins started fast this season, knocking off Iowa, 22-7. But from there on until two weeks ago, the Westwood club has been smacked down three j times.
JaL to listen to UCLA supporters were “heartbreakers.” First came ■ that 27-26 loss to Northwestern: then, SMU* squeezed by the Broons 6-0; and the California Bears clipped them by the same score, 8-0. right after the Mustang loss.

Victory Bell Rites Planned
Victory for SC tomorrow against its traditional rival. UCLA, will mean the return of the two teams' traditional symbol of victory on the gridiron—the victory bell.
If the Trojans emerge as winners of tomorrow’s fray, an impromptu ceremony will be held at noon. Monday. in front of Bovard auditorium in which the bell will be officially presented to thf SC student body for this year, by a representative of the crosstown rivals, present holders of the bell.
In the event of a UCLA victory, the bell will be formally presented to the Bruin student body Monday by Ernie Wilson, Knights president.
Competition for legal possession of the bell began in 1942 when the student body presidents of the respective schools agreed that the bell would be officially presented to the winner of the SC-UCLA game each year. It started as UCLA’s victory symbol, but illegal appropriation of the Bruin property in 1941 by unknown Trojans, and Its ultimate return, resulted in the 1942 agreement.
Prevention ol violence and troublesome incidents over the approaching SC-UCLA game is being undertaken by a joint “non-violence” committee of the two universities. Details of policy to be followed by the committee were discussed Tuesday by Paul Wildman, ASSC president, Ken Gallagher, UCLA student body president, and faculty members of both schools.
