BOUNDING Stan Christie, who has capably filled the gap created by the graduation of last year's great center, Alex Hannum, will be in the pink for Friday and Saturday's crucial games with California and Stanford. Christie appears to have snapped out of the scoring slump that bothered him in the previous games with the northerners.
asahamen to Face Angry Bears, Injuns
by Jim Blake
Perched perilously atop the rickety Southern division basketball ladder, SC’s battered Trojans and their arch-rivals, the UCLA Bruins, must beat off common foes tonight and tomorrow night at 8:30 before getting to the main business of whacking each other from the pinnacle next week.
Both California. SC's opponent*-

at the Olympic tonight, and Stanford; the two invaders from the north, have registered wins over the local fives. Stanford walloped the Bruins early in tlie campaign and tiie Bears dropped Troy down to the Uclan level two weeks ago. A win by either visiting squad would virtually eliminate the victim from championship chances.
BEARS POINTING The belligerent Berkeley Bears pnd the peeved Palo Alto ans are pointing for the SC game because of the rugged scrimmages won by the Trojans last week in the north. Oddly, the Cardinal and Gold took much the worst of it physically Friday and Saturday, but Bay area scribes charged SC with being "too rough.*’
Loss of Marty “the Masher’’ Pelka. who is out for both games with a back injury, is a crippling blow to SC defensive strategy. Pelka is tcp man in the league at keeping high tcoring forwards to a meager supply of points per game.
KOLF TO START Pelka s place in the lineup will probably be taken by sophomore Bob Kolf, who was ineligible ■ throughout the first stmester of competition. Kolf may be pointing i ior Cal as much as the Bears will i be laying for SC. Bill Thompson, Bear guard, blasted Kolf into the Berkeley bleachers with a running ' blcck from behind last week which < upset the calm Trojan defenseman. j Another sophomore. Bud Doty.! will operate at the other guard po- 1 sition. Doty took over for Fred j Bertram early in the season when i Bertram began the amazuig Trojan injury jinx parade by ending his I SC career with a seriously injured knee. Doty, too, was lost to the j squad for two weeks with torn j ankle ligaments.
At forwards will be all-Amencan : candidate Bill Sharman, leading j (Continued on Page 5i

Bel-Air Dancers Promised Room'
100 Bids Still Available for First Ail-U Dance of Second Semester
Snowseeking Trojans are assured plenty of room in which to indulge in their favorite brand of dancing—be it the waltz, rhumba, or mazurka—at the Bel-Air Bay club tomorrow night even after the Winter carnival gets into full, uninhabited swing, according to Whitey Fruhling, ticket chairman.	x---—.........................-
“Previous all-U affairs have oc-j^jp ^ CliD casionally been so crowded that the	_
dancers had to go outside to in- | hale,’’ quipped Fruhling, polishing j an alpenstock, “but we will defi- j nitely eliminate squeezing—at least j ! that of the unintentional variety— j j at the carnival tomorrow night by I putting fewer than 300 bids on J sale.”
100 BIDS LEFT
As of yesterday there were approximately 100 bids still available j for S2.50 each in front of the Ad-! ministration building and at the ! Student Union ticket office.
If today’s weather prevents the ,
J University avenue ticket booth from ^ j being set up, tickets will probably i be taken around to the dormitories j and houses, Fruhling said. Any bids left over will be put on sale at the j i door.
SCOTT TO PLAY
‘It's a marvelous place for a j dance, ’ enthused Bill Parker, whose committee is in charge of strategi-; cally placing the snowballs and i icicles around the Bel-Air Bay club.
| “There are two separate dance j floors .a large lounge, the Nautical ! room for refreshments, and several small rooms for cozier gatherings.
: And then, of course, there’s that view of the ocean from the bal-cony. .
| Ivan Scott’s society orchestra is j expected to keep the dancers in the spirit of the evening by playing I such mood music as “Let It Snow”
I and “Winter Wonderland ”
No. 86 would have been knotted at 15 j ! votes apiece.
Evans was nominated from the j ; floor for the cffice of vice-president j i and was elected with a majority of j ; the votes cast for that office. His , I opponents, nominated at a previous I meeting, were Bill Adams. Phi Delta Theta. and Chuck Jones, Delta I Sigma Phi.
UNANIMOUS \ OTt With no opponent, Cal Schmidt. J | Sigma Alpha Epsilon, was elected unanimously as secretary. Pi Lamb-\ da Phi Dave Moskowitz was elected I treasurer over Alpha Epsilon Pi Chuck Posner. who was nominated I from the floor before the election.
