TIREBITER TO SIT OUT Ticket Scalping OSC TILT IN DOCHOUSE Nipped in Bud;
Zech Uses Axe
George Tirebiter will be absent when SC and Oregon State meet on the Coliseum gridiron tonight.
The canine mascot is at present under a 15-day quarantine for allegedly biting a passerby, and although the Department of Animal Regulation is willing to allow him to make an appearance tonight, George will remain in his kennel, according to Knight President Morey Thomas.
Thomas has been notified by the Department of Animal Regulation that the dog will be exterminated if he bites anyone while still under the quarantine.
A committee of Knights, Casimir Sermak, Bob Padgett, and Sam Caramelli, has been appointed by Thomas to study ways and means to keep Tirebiter under control. A plan calling for an on-campus pen has been mentioned, but nothing definite has been decided upon.
In any event, any public appearances George makes in the future will be from the end of a leash.

Letuli to Enact
Sabre Dance'
Something sharp in the way of halftime entertainment will be offered by Trojan bandsmen when they join with Letuli, an exotic Hawaiian sword dancer, in a special rendition of the “Sabre Dance” by Aram Khachaturian tonight in the Coliseum.
“Letuli uses several razor-keen swords in his dance, and many of the stunts he does with them are extremely dangerous,” Tommy WTalker, director of the football band, said yesterday.
The football band is in need of french horn players and B or BB flat bass players. Interested musicians are asked to report to the band building.
Walker also announced Sept. 29 as the deadline for accepting applications for positions in the band. Aspiring bandsmen are asked to report to the band building, 902 West 37th place.
“This deadline is necessary in order for us to make early plans for the trip to Stanford,” Walker added.

. . . council interviews will continue today with all letters, starting at 1:30 p.m. in the Blue Key office. No petitions are necessary.
Hope that clearing up of the attempted fradulent purchase of activity books would help alleviate “ticket scalping” for SC football games was expressed yesterday by Dr. Albert F. Zech, counselor of men.
“We apparently have nipped this thing in the bud,” Dr. Zech said. All but a few students charged with purchasing the books for nonexistent wives have either shown proof of marriage or submitted to punishment.
Punishment is the voidance of both tickets on a basis of the qualifications stated on the ticket application blanks. In filling out these blanks, students agree to forefit the books if the information they give is false.
Less than 20 students were charged with giving false information on the blanks, and all but a few have surrendered the books or shown proof of marriage. Four had not straightened out the matter by yesterday afternoon.
Evidence that books were being obtained by students for wives they didn't have was discovered by the auditor checking registration cards. However, many students cleared themselves by showing marriage licenses.
Others said they were buying the books in anticipation of getting married in the near future. Students must be married at the time of application to get books for their wives.
Ticket Manager John Morley Is already working on a plan for next year to eliminate any possibility of fraud in activity book purchases.

Oregon State Club Looms as Sleeper
by Mai Florence
Troy’s first real grid test of the 1948 season will take place tonight at 8:30 in the Coliseum when Coach Jeff Cravath’s charges tangle with Lon Stiner’s unpredictable Oregon State
Beavers.
Fresh off a 27-12 victory over a surprisingly strong Idaho
.^eleven, Stiner’s offensive minded Beavers are expected to fill the air with passes tonight and at the same time ward off a Trojan attack by offering a stout forward wall as resistance.
WINSLOW WARNS Trojan End Coach Bob Winslow, who scouted the Beavers last Saturday. warned Cravath not to take the Beavers lightly as they possess a veteran team and are dangerous.
Operating off the famed OSC optional run-pass pattern that has been a stamp of individuality on Beaver teams since Stiner took over the reigns in 1933. the Beavers will try to outspeed the supposedly ponderous Trojans.
SAMUEL STARS Sparking the Northwest's team attack win be Don Samuel, a two-year letterman, and hailed as one of the best backfield prospects in the country. Coupled with Samuel at the other halfback post will be Dick Gray, brother of Gene and Joe, the latter being the famed “Grey Ghost”—both of whom played for Oregon State before the war. Young Gray completed six out of six passes against the Vandals Saturday, while the team, was compiling an over-all percentage of 16 tosses completed out of 22.
So good is Gray, that he beat out Ken Carpenter, a tried veteran and one of the best punters in the Northwest, for the first string berth. SHINE UP FRONT But up front is where the Beaver’s latent strength lies. In Ed Carmichael and Jim Swarbrick afc guard and center respectively, the Oregonians have two of the roughest lineman on the western slope. Veterans are in abundance on the Beaver team this year, and ii’** Carpenter, Dick Lorenz, pass snagging whiz, has to be content to play second string.
The Beaver’s had organizational difficulties last year, and there is no reason in the world to cite Troy’s 48-6 pasting of the Beavers last year as any criteria of tonight’s out-come.
It will be the same lineup that (Continued on Page 4)

DON Doll, 1947 all-coast selection, who saw limited action against Utah last Friday night, will be in the starting lineup tonight when the Trojans face the Beavers at the Coliseum.
Activity Book Sale Ends; No Renewal
Student ticket sales were completed yesterday amidst the anguished cries of a small group of would-be ticket purchasers who failed to meet the deadline.

There were still some tardy buy~¥--ers who straggled up to find that

LA Honors Olympic Champs Own' Day
Olympic coaches Dean Cromwell, Fred Cady, and six SC Olympic team members were among the 37 California coaches and athletes who were officially welcomed home by Los Angeles city and county yesterday morning in a ceremony on the City hall steps.
Besides Cromwell and Cady, Mel Patton, Wilbur Thompson, Cliff Bourland, Bob Chambers, Roland Sink, and Wally Wolf were honored for the part they played representing the United States in the 14th Olympiad.
Patton, 100-meter champ, and
middle - distance runners Bob Chambers and Roland Sink were members of Cromwell's 1948 track and field squad. Thompson, shot put champ, and Cliff Bourland, member of the U. S. winning 1600-meter relay team are former SC athletes. Wolf swam on the record-smashing 800-meter relay team.
Army and Navy planes saluted the victorious men and women as they paraded through downtown Los Angeles streets on their way to the City hall to receive awards and plaudits from city and county dignitaries.
SC Hospital Project Studied
Assignment of campus projects for analysis and recommendations was done among members of the Greater University committee yesterday. Ten different problems will be studied by the committee and improvements will be suggested to the university administration.
Heading the list is a $500,000, 32-bed hospital on campus for students. The plot has already been selected and some preliminary plans drawn, but the financial end of the project is being examined.

The traffic situation will get some attention from John McElderry and Don Black, who will try to secure diagonal or perpendicular parking on Exposition boulevard and organize a car pool for students.
DT DELIVERY
Some old trouble-makers such as delivery of the Daily Trojan to campus buildings, the textbook congestion in the book store, the need for a water cooler in the Student Union cellar, and trash collections from fraternity and sorority houses will be tackled by Bob Flower, Dave Thompson, McElderry and Bill Stevens.
The committee is primarily a planning and research group, headed by Chairman Bob McClymonds. It investigates problems and suggested projects on campus and reports to the student senate. After senate approval, the projects are sent to the administration for study or to the various service organizations for fulfillment.
