(ABOARD NAVY MARS OVER \( IFIC OCEAN, (Via Navy Ra-o), Nov. 11—The Navy put down s mutiny today of the dissatisfied passengers aboard the freighter Swarthmore Victory. 1200 miles out of the Golden Gate.
This huge flying boat, the ^Marshall Mars.” bombed the Irioting passengers into submission |with food.
And the passengers—six baby elephants who were "nervous as hell” and 20 cages of tree ducks and assorted tropical birds who were squawking at lean rations— settled bark and began chomping on 12 bales of red oat hay and 250(1 mealy worms p unked into the sea from the '•mercy” flight.
As one Navy officer put it: “the way to an elephant’s haert is through his stomach.”

app Characters to Invade SC
In Pied Piper fashion, the SC band will lead Trojans from the AMS-AWS picnic in Exposition park to Bovard auditorium for a pre-Washington football rally today.
On stage at 5:30 p.m. to lift rooter spirits will be the entire cast of the Mellodee club show, and Yell King Jack McKee with his assistants.
Rick Lazaar, KFWB midnight record-spinner, will emcee the show. Buddy Trenier will croon romantic ballads and then team up with his twin for a song-and-dance routine that has been encoring for customers of the popular nitery where they are star attractions.
Jimmy Witherspoon will shout the blues in his own inimitable I style and the Gene Gilbeaux band will serve to enth\ise rooters for the Shmoo ball which will follow the rally with dancing until midnight.
Lazaar has been giving an air-! lane build-up on his wee-hour I show, and Bob Rousso, rally chair-! man, said he believes "that this will J be the year’s top rally uncondition-I ally guaranteed to raise the spirit j of every Trojan attending.”

Sadie to Lead Eager Women In Big Race
Sadie Hawkins day is here! Funny paper tragedy becomes a reality on campus today, thanks to the AMS-AWS sponsored Sadie Hawkins Day program at Exposition park from 2 to 5 p.m. It’s an allday affair, but the “Big Race,” together with other contests, will not begin until the afternoon.
Woe to any poor male who is caught by an ambitious Daisy Mae this afternoon, because Marryin’ Sain, who has been on campus for two days, will be ready to perform a quick on-the-spot wedding.
Such prizes as a sweater from Phelps Terkel, stationery from Tams, a leather belt from Stan Hall, a waffle iron-toaster from Rexall-Sontag drug stores, and various “booby prizes” will be awarded to the winners of the various contests.
Big event of the day is the Sadie Hawkins race, which will find the men required to run backward and still avoid the swift Trojan women —or suffer a fate worse than death.
A four-piece hillbilly band will provide the music for old-fashioned square dances, while Bill Warfield, well-known student vocalist, will warble mountain ditties,
According to Cy Ostrup, AMS social chairman, Johnny McEwen and Art Astor will act as joint masters of ceremonies today, and will conduct their activities around an eight-foot “Shmoo” which will mark the site of Sadie Hawkins Day.
Bob Green and his dogpatch combo will be on campus at noon to drum up spirit. Dress for today will be levis and plaid shirts for the Lil’ Abners and gingham dresses for the Daisy Maes.

SENATE STOPS HEALTH FEE DESPITE STUDENT FAVOR
by Marion Sellers
Despite the fact that the ASSC Senate Wednesday night scuttled what Bob McClymonds, Greater University committee chairman, has termed the “teeth of the plan,” student replies to the Daily Trojan poll still show’ that 60.3 per cent approve the fee plan.
A total of 79.5 per cent, including more than 51 per cent of the no-voters, still called the present service Inadequate. Only a fourth of the dissenting students said the existing unit is ample.
On a basis of 735 votes counted, 443 students favor the fee plan over 274 or 37.3 opposing it. Seven students have suggested a S5 student fee in place of the suggested S10 increase.
With all the yes-voters terming the present facilities inadequate, 141 of those opposing the fee condemned the existing clinic. Ten students said the facilities are fair, and 47, not having visited the clinic, said they didn't know.
TROY'S ERRATIC but brilliant quarterback, Jim Powers, will attempt to head SC back along the victory trail tomorrow against the invading Washington Huskies.

Senior students will be sitting pretty at the SC-UCLA grid gigantic on Nov. 20.
For the first time a reserved rooting section in the strategic midfield area has been set aside for the senior class, according to Bert Mathews, Senior council spokesman.
The plan, originated and pushed by the Senior council under the direction of Dave Saunders, calls for seniors to trade their activity book
Tickets for the senior class rooting section will be available Monday at the new ticket office, 3526 University avenue. Activity books and student Identification cards are necessary for the free exchange.
tickets Monday for regular reserved ducats on the 50-yard line.
“This unprecedented privilege is a great thing,” said Parks, “and everybody’s going to know that the senior class is there.”
SENIORS TO STUNT A special card stunt by the senior section will be included in half-time activities. Another card caper will be performed in conjunction with the regular card section.
“Watch the tunnel at halftime, too,” Mathews advised. “The council has cooked up a deal that will be a sensation.”
The special stunts that have been planned make it imperative that seniors pick up their tickets as soon as possible.
In case seniors have made dates for the UCLA game regular tickets held by senior men or women may be exchanged at the same time the senior trades in his activity book ticket. The same deal applies to wives and husbands of senior students who want to swap their tickets for the reserved kind.
“THE SENIOR GAME”
Dave Saunders, senior class president, expressed elation over the plan.
“Senior class unity has been recognized by the naming of the SC-UCLA game as ‘The Senior game’,” he said. “We hope that our project will become a part of Trojan tradition and that every senior class to come will have a senior game with a reserved rooting section.” Saunders credited Bert Park and Bert Mathews of the Senior Council Ticket committee with making the proposal a success.
“We’re especially grateful to Arnold Eddy, general manager of Associated Students and John Morley, ticket manager, for their splendid cooperation,” he said. “Just watch the line at the ticket office Monday and see.”

down the inconsistent Seattle team.
In the locals’ last outing, they all I but scared the hide off of Califor-| nia s “mighty" Golden Bears, dropping a thriller, 13-7. It was Troy’s jbest performance to date, and if j they continue to play a similar | brand of ball tomorrow, the Huskies will wish that they had stayed in the polar bear country.
MAYBE UPSET?
But, off Washington's performance against the PCC leader. Ore-! gon, last week, an upset here would not be out of order. The Huskies cut-downed Jim Aiken’s lads 23 to 15, and lost by a slim 13-7 margin. So, here we have two conference teams, definitely without title hopes, but possessing strong late November clubs.
No Trojan fan can ever take a Washington team lightly. For years, the pesky Huskies have been a constant source of trouble to Troy, though Washington hasn’t turned back the Trojans since 1941, when (Continued on Page 4)

SADIE'S DAY CUNGS-ON NIX LAS-COMMERCE GRID TILT
“We’ve been sabotaged,’* moaned Ced Gerson, president of the College of Commerce, when he heard the new*.
The long-awaited and much-touted football game between the LAS council and the Commerce council ha* been postponed at the subtle hint of the administration because it “might conflict with the Sadie Hawkins Day g?'n"S-cn in Exposition park.”
Both teams had been practicing intensely and some of t'”e players had reached a point of fitness where they could run the length of the field without oxygen. Because of the highly keyed-up condition of the gridders, it will probably be necessary to keep them on leashes for at least a week.
Al Hix, LAS president, who has this sort of thing happen to him fortnightly, registered complete sang froid about the entire matter as he quietly tore out what little hair he has left.
Jack Silverstein, LAS vice-president, was philosophical.
“Guess this means we’ll just have to have our regular meeting today in 401 Student Union,” he said.
