When the afternoon smog descended on the campus yesterday the line of patient purchasers of Rose Bowl ducats was still long. John Morely, SC ticket manager, gazed out of his office window in the Student Union and commented that the line had remained full all day.
“The sale of tickets is proceeding at about the same speed it did Monday,” said Mr. Morely. “According to a report from the ticket office this morning, there will probably be about 4500 tickets sold by the end of the day.”
Mr. Morely explained that all complaints will be handled next week because of the immediate demands of the ticket sale. There is a ticket for every activity book and all holders are assured by the ticket office they will be able to obtain a ducat. University College students can purchase their cards of admission to the Rose
Bowl, in Owens hall, tonight and Friday night from 6 to 7.
The average speed of the line yesterday was about 100 feet every half hour. Kieth Martz, stout hearted Trojan, was the first man in line at exactly 2:12 p.m. “It only took a short while,” said Martz. “and it wasn’t so bad.”
Farther down the line a character with red hair, a receding chin, and a long forehead, was rubbing his hands and chortling about his arrangements for scalping his unpurchased ticket.
Behind him. two cute young things wheedled their way into the middle of the line in spite of the mild protests of a couple of adolescently bashful male acquaintances.
So it went, all day long. Finally, the tired sellers hung out the closed for the day sign and would-be purchasers went home to rest and try again the following day.

Baxter Gives Tenth Annual Yule Readings
Perennial Favorite Spellbinds Audience
The Christmas spirit at SC reached the overflowring mark yesterday afternoon when Dr. Frank C. Baxter, professor of English lan guage and literature, gave his 10th annual Christmas readings and in terpretations in true Baxterian style before a capacity audience.
“Christmas is a nostalgic time of the year,” Dr. Baxter said in his opening comments, “ar.d I regret that there is not more poetry with that curious stir in the heart which is predominate at the Yuletide season.”
Dr. Baxter began his readings with four stirring poems concerning the true meaning of Christmas. “A Christmas Folk Song,’’ Reese; “The World’s Desire,” Chesterton: “From Far Aw’ay,” a 13th century verse; and “A Ballade of Christmas Ghosts” were received by a silent, impressed audience.
DE LA MARE
In a melodramatic mood for a brief moment, Dr. Baxter recited Walter de la Mare’s “Three Ghosts Came Riding By,” which has a surprise ending. He then continued
a seasonal theme. “Star Over SC.” He has received nation-wide publicity for the “earnest, blunt sincerity” of his pulpit speaking. His career was lately reviewed in Time.
TWO CONTRIBUTIONS Musicians of the College of Music will give two vocal contributions: one a duet by women students and the other a selection for bass voice. Pat Reed, contralto, and Lorraine Brown, soprano, will sing the duet.
“But Who May Abide” is the bass solo to be sung by James T. Mor-
Because of the large audience that attended Dr. Baxter’s readings yesterday, the council of religion, sponsors of the event, has announced that Dr. Baxter will repeat his Christmas-poem recitations today at noon In the art and lecture room of the University library.
