Grid Fleets Clash In Naval Struggle
by Ed Prizer
When the Westwood fleet met SC's armada in the perilous waters of Coliseum sea Saturday, one of the hardest-fought naval battles since Trafalgar ensued. Unique in the history of sea warfare, the conflict took place before the massed citizenry of the two great rival powers and a horde
of foreign partisans totaling over i-

There was a heavy overcast in the sky. reminiscent of the North sea. Gulls circled over the Coliseum, waiting to pick up debris left after the battle. The air was damp and chilly, but it did not discourage the partisans who filled the stadium with howls long before the game began.

That old jinx that has hounded the Bruins for years in their football games with the Trojans has turned traitor.
SC out-first downed, out-passed, and outrushed the nation’s most “offensive” team, but they were outlucked by UCLA, 13-6.
Instructed by Mentor Bert La-Brucherie to play defensive ball and wait for the breaks, 93,714. Coliseum spectators watched the Bruins turn two breaks into touchdowns to keep their season slate spotless and cinch the PCC bid to the Rose Bowl. BLOCKED PUNT
UCLA took a six-point lead before the crucial conference championship decider was four minutes old as Bill Chambers came charging in to block Verl Lillywhite’s attempted kick from the SC 25. Chambers slapped the ball down the second it left the toe of the Trojan quarterback and Don Malmberg picked the slushy pigskin up and slid his way some 16 yards to a score. Ernie Case's try for point was wide.
RECOVERED BALL
The Bruins struck again in the opening minute of the fourth quarter when Case went over from one foot out. With the ball on SC’s 46, Case went back to boot. He got off a terrific kick which sailed over the head of safety man Mickey McCardle. Mick went back to the five tc pick it up and as he did Al Hoisch hit him and the ball slipped out of McCardle’s hands. Wes Mathews recovered for the “Bu-Bus” as the third quarter ended. Jack Myers carried to the 2, Hoisch was stopped a foot short, and then Case followed Don Paul through on a quarterback sneak for six. This time Case converted.
PLAY CONSERVATIVELY
Between the two Bruin scores and afterwards it was practically all the Trojans. The Uclans played it conservatively all the way.
Shortly after the initial Westwood score. MoCardle was inserted into the lineup — Tricky Mickey almost immediately engineered a 43-yard drive which resulted in a touchdown by Don Doll on the third play of the second period to deadlock the game at six-up.
Taking over on the Bruin 43 after a punt runback and a Broon piling on penalty put the ball there, Art Battle hit left guard for five and (Continued on Page Three)
SC Over Top In Chest Drive
Troy’s Community Chest drive has reached its goat of $5000, Paul Wildman. chairman of the drive, announced Friday.
Contributions amounted to S5,-076 in the final tabulation last week, with the Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority as the latest organization to turn in a 100 per cent contribution.
Donations may still be deposited in a box at the information office, as contributions will be accepted as long as the drive continues in the city, stated Wildman.

Hindus and Moslems struggling lor power today will settle their differences to govern India successfully, predicted Photographer-Au-thor Margaret Bourke-White upon arrival in Los Angeles Saturday morning.
Miss Bourke-White, who will speak on ‘Eyes on India ' in the Modern Forum lecture at 8 o’clock tonight in Philharmonic auditorium, returned to the United States two weeks ago. after an eight-month assignment in India during which she photographer and interviewed leading figures for Life magazine.
Cfiild labor, lack of education, in-For the amusement of The" crowd QUStrial backwardness and a terribly low standard of living are a few important problems which face India. Miss Bourke-White said. She deplored the religious slogans being used to inflame “the excitaWc sensitive Indian masses.”

a battalion of commandos was sent out into the sea before operations began to mop up the water with burlap bags. They might as well have used their handkerchiefs. UCLA ‘FANS’
Two contraptions with great windmills were driven onto the
track, and there was speculation as j using the ‘divide and rule theory to their purpose. Someone suggested that they were probably UCLA “fans". However, they departed without disturbing the atmosphere.

next steps for India’s freedom wil\ be the drawing up of a new con-
stitution. the holding of an election, and the making of a treaty with Britain. Miss Bourke-White stressed that British Viceroy Wavell retains the power of veto. MOSLEMS WANT PAKISTAN The greatest danger to obtaining India's freedom is further violence from Moslems, who wish to establish Pakistan, “a nation within a nation.” Moslems are in the minority, since two-thirds of the Indian population is Hindu.
Gandhi is no waning star in India today, although his ideas on education. health, and industry are outmoded. Miss Bourke-White said.
“Gandhi is the person who started the movement that brought self respect to Indians. He is 77 years old and says he will live to be 125.
“He strictly follows a vegeterian diet, and once, when his wife's life hung in balance. Gandhi refused to allow her to take beef broth and cow's milk, which had been prescribed by a doctor,” she added. GANDHI SURPRISES Gandhi's ideas on “nature cures” and on the benefit of babies’ looking into the sun surprised Miss Bourke-White.
“Especially, since he wouldn't let me use a flashbulb when I photographed him. claiming it wasn't good for his vision,” she laughed.
Music College Granted Space
Unquestionably SC's most completely decentralized college, the College of Music recently announced that they have added several “new” buildings to their facilities.
The heterogeneous conglomeration of buildings which comprises the housing facilities of the College of Music now extends from Mudd hall at the extreme south end of the campus to the Music annex at the extreme north end and from the Cinema building at the extreme east end to 934 West 35th street, far to the west.
The new buildings added to the College’s already large number of class and practice rooms are located at 926, 928 J/2, 930. and 934 35th stft>et, so that with the new additions, an entire row of ordinary dwelling places have or are being converted for academic use.
HOUSE REDECORATED
The house at 932 has already oeen redecorated, if you can call a paint job and installation of fluorescent lighting redecoration. The other residences were transferred only recently and have not been converted as yet. According to Miss Pearl Alice Maclosky, College of Music secretary, decorating and construction is awaiting approval from government agencies for release of materials. All of the houses but two, 926, which will be converted to offices for the Institute of the Arts, and 930. are being used now as practice rooms, lecture rooms, or offices for music fac’Uty members. ANTIQUE BUILDINGS
If antiquity of buildings is any mark of distinction to an organization, the College of Music is more than distinguished. The office of this college is housed in the first building constructed for SC in 1880 The Music annex is somewhat newer but far from being modern. The cinema building has probably seen more generations of termites than the Termite Control corporation. The “new” buildings just added to the imposing real estate holdings of the college were constructed on sound 1900 architectural principles, complete with bay windows, numerous doors and sagging eaves. OTHER BUILDINGS
Other buildings used by the College of Music are Hancock hall, and the University Methodist church. The church organ is used by organist Irene Robertson for teaching. Students also use practice facilities in the church on a private basis, according to Grace Burdick, assistant in the Music pffice.
Although there have been plans for a large, central building to house all of the music facilities under one roof, many difficulties have arisen to prevent their being carried out, not the least of which is the present shortage and prohibitive price of building materials. Dr. Max T. Krone, dean of the Institute of the Arts, said.

Advancement Topic of Talk
“Research and Everyday Living” is the subject of a 40-minute lecture demonstration being given today by Larry F. Livingston at 8 p.m. in 306 Science hall. The program will display about 50 chemical advancements producedt in DuPont laboratories, which enter into our everyday living.
A graduate in engineering of the University of Washington, Mr. Livingston was on the staff of Michigan State college as head of agricultural engineering extension work, *and is now manager of the extension division of E. I. DuPont de Nemours and company. He is regarded as one of the leading authorities in the United States on the use of explosives for agricultural purposes.
Mr. Livingston is currently on a nation-wide lecture tour, and has been talking to chambers of commerce, civic clubs, service clubs, colleges and high schools throughout the country-.
“The lecture will probably embody the subject of plastics,” George Meyers, president of the Chemistry club said, “and since two hours are required to set up and dismantle the exhibit, an extensive and fascinating program may be expected.”

Crowding around the huge pile of wood collected by the fraternities for the event, hundreds of loyal enthusiasts joined in the yells led by Jack Chaffee, yell king, at the bonfire rally last Friday night. The bonfire led off the weekend activities and the Homecoming dance climaxed the festivities of the 23rd annual Homecoming. Many Trojans and alumni packed the ballroom of the Santa Monica hotel where the annual dance brought down the curtain on Homecoming.
The men from Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity proved to be the best collectors of wood as they amassed a total of over 75 truckloads of timber for the fire. Ernie Wilson, Trojan Knight, was in charge of the Sig Ep wood - collection.
For contributing the most wood for the bonfire, the Sig Eps were awarded the plaque provided by James Smith of the Hammond Lumber company. This prize will be theirs to keep until next year's bonfire rally when it will again be put on the block.
A slight sprinkling of rain began to fall shortly after 8:30 when the fire was schedued to be ignited, and the crowd immediately began clamoring for it to be lit. When it was finally started, only the lower edges caught and for ten minutes they smouldered and smoked before the entire woodpile burst into leaping flames.
Trojan alumni and students packed the sixth floor ballroom of the Santa Monica Ambassador hotel Saturday night for the annual dance which traditionally rings down the curtain on Homecoming week events.
Will Osborne and his orchestra played smooth, danceable music amidst Homecoming decorations that were moved bodily from 28th street to provide a setting for the dance.
A background for the band was furnished by Delta Gamma sorority whose house decoration won a prize for being the most beautiful. The tower of Mudd hall and the words “Troyditionally Yours” provided SC atmosphere around the bandstand.
The Johnny Greer quartet was on hand to furnish additional entertainment. They sang two numbers during the evening, the popular tune “I Don’t Know Why” and an old-time Stephen Foster melody, “Old Folks at Home.”
A buffet just off the ballroom, and lounges on the fourth and fifth floors of the hotel provided dancers with places to eat and relax. A bottleneck developed at the elevators early in the evening when Trojans first began arriving, and again at the close of the dance as the revelers sought to get away in time to make the 2 a.m. deadline for their sorority and dormitory dates.
The dance was sponsored by AMS with President Joe Holt, responsible for arranging the site for the dance and selecting committees to carry out the various phases of its preparation.
