Men students Who are interested in taking the Craft deferment test in December should pick up applications at their local draft board now, announced Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, draft director.
Nexfc tests will be Dec. 4 and Apr. 23, 1953. In order to remain on the college deferred list, a student must either make acceptable grades or a passing mark on the college qualification test.
General Hershey emphasized that increasing manpower demands make it important for each draft-eligible student to take the test.
Criteria
Present criteria for deferment as an undergraduate student are a satisfactory score (70 or above) on the Selective service test or an upper half ranking in the male freshman class, upper two-thirds in the male sophomore class, or upper three fourths of the male junior class.
General Hershey pointed out, however, that the criteria are a flexible yardstick and the standards may be raised '“anytime necessity demands manpower.”
The forthcoming tests are the third series to be given. In the first series, 64 per cent of the students made a passing grade. The second series saw 58 per cent pass.
Postmarks Due Nov. 1
Half a million students are expected to take the tests in 1000 testing centers throughout the nation. 413,395 students took past tests.
Students whose academic year ends in January should take the December test, so a score can be recorded for draft board consideration. Applications for the De cember exam must not be postmarked later than Nov. 1.

Davis, Ruddy Win Freshman Runoff
In a closely contested j*un-off election Friday afternoon, Don Davis and Linda Ruddy were chosen to lead SC’,s freshman class for 1952-53.

idential offices and 92 for the foreign student representative. The voting went:
President—Don Davis, 230; Jack Forney, 215.

Dr. McDonagh listed the myths as (1) that the state will wither away (2) Russia is a people’s democracy with (3) a classless society (4) racial equality (5) a consistent party line and (6) desiring world peace.
State Grown In reality, the Russian state has continually grown powerful while the people have had little or nothing to say about the government, he said.

AS IT WAS THEN
1947 Homecoming Had 104,000 Grid Crowd, 57 in Queen Race
By FRED NEIL
Daily Trojan Sports Editor
Trojan footballers are busy checking toothbrushes and pajama tops this morning preparatory to embarking on their first road trip of the season.
Jess Hill and his gridders fly to Portland for a conference skirmish with Oregon State Satur day, and if they’re smart they’ll include raincoats in their luggage,
It might be a good idea, too, if they include a few offensive plays, complete with blocking, designed to break one or more of their multitude of good backs into the clean.
The Beavers will be up for this game, make no mistake about that. They still remember last year’s game when the controversial pass Irom Frank Gifford to Bob Buckley gave the Trojans a 17-14 win. They contend, and there were even editorials written in the Portland newspapers, that Giff was past the line of scrimmage when he threw to Bucky. If he was over the line, and everyone north of Hollywood boulevard is convinced he was, the Oregonians maintain he should should have been penalized five yards rather than credited with a completed pass.
Reception Waiting Following this line, of reasoning, the Beavers figure they were aced out of a 14-10 win, and still following this train of thought, the Trojans can expect something a little more substantial than the key to the city Saturday.
The Trojans go into the Beaver clash still undefeated but they won’t face a tougher foe, win or lose, the rest of the season than the San Diego Navy team they somehow managed to whip, 20-6, Friday night for their fourth straight win.
Once again the defensive platoon reaped the lion’s share of the plaudits from the crowd of 40,137, and deservedly.
Two and a Half
All it did was score two touchdowns and set up the third. As a matter of fact it set up a score twice. In the first quarter, Elmer Willhoite, who played the kind of game you read about but seldom see, recovered a fumble on the Tar six-yard line.
The offensive uriit came charging onto the field and four plays later charged right back off again with the ball resting on the one.
Back came the wrecking crew to repeat the procedure. This time it was Charlie Ane who pounced on a loose ball left on the five by Jim Waddell. Whether <?r not he held onto the football had become unimportant to Mr. Waddell when hit amidships by Willhoite and Bob Van Doren.
Finally Make It This time the attack unit took it over, Al Carmichaei going all the way on the first play behind some beautiful blocking by Al Barry.
Incidentally, on the series that found SC one-yard short at the end of -their allotted four downs, Leon Sellers appeared to have
JIM SEARS . . . All-American?
lost a half-yard or so on fourth down. The ball was resting about six inches from the goal line, it seemed, before the play and was on the one-yard line when the play ended.
The official statistician, however, ruled that Leon had gotten
back to the line of scrimmage, io his record of never having lost a yard in collgeiate football is still intact.
Troy had scored earlier on one of the finest displays of open field running anyone is ever going to see, and it came before many of the fans had reached their seats, seats.
The first time Navy got the ball they could go nowhere and were forced to kick. Verle Lilly-white got off a high punt from his 17 which Jim Psaltis fielded on the Trojan 34.
Jim Sears cut across the opposite side of the field, took the handoff from Psaltis, turned the corner, set sail down the south sideline, used his interference like a master, faked Lillywhite right onto his face, and wound up in the end zone 66 yards away.
* C row Lowers Boom
Lindon Crow sprung Sears into the clear when he lowered the boom on Navy center Mickey Azda on about the SC 45.
This, followed by the aforementioned Carmichael score, gave the Trojans a 13-0 lead (Tsam Tsagalakis missed his second conversion try) with only 10*4 minutes gone in the first period and they had yet to make a first down.
As a matter of fatft they wound up the evening with only five first downs to the Navy’s 22. The other statistics were just as onesided with the Sailors netting 133 yards passing and 212 running for a net total of 345 yards.
SC on the other hand was able to gain only 19 yards on two completed aerials and' 79 yards on the ground for a total of 98.
Five For 104

HELEN OF TROY ior 1947 Maxine Ewart is crowned by Fred D. Fagg Jr., SC president then and now* Miss Ewart was judged Queen among a held of 57 aspirants. She undoubtedly had that certain something which Frank DeMarco, queen qhairman that year, termed ”a strange cross between charm and allure.”
By Tom Pflimlin
Five years can change many things and Homecoming is no exception. Comparing Homecoming 1947 with Homecoming 1952, provides an interesting contrast.
Only 57 women entered tne queen contest in 1947 as compared with nearly 100 this year. Frank DeMarco, queen chairman that year, judged the coeds on voice, personality, stage presence, carriage, taste in dress, and “that strange cross between charm and allure which is indispensable to beauty.”
Homecoming 1947 was a pre-Christmas event held from Dec. 4 to Dec. 6. Year by year it has crept backwards until now it comes shortly after school begins.
Elephants Banned In 1945, the administration banned elephants and camels from the Taxi day ceremonies. “Such large beasts as “tylopodous ruminant” (camel to the less learned) are out of the question," they said In the past, there was no ruling stipulating what could be entered as a vehicle in the event.

of 1947 and five years has not changed circumstances. Four days prior to dancetime, however, only 280 bids had been sold.
Expects 2,000 Bids Jack Davis, this year’s dance chairman, anticipates the selling of 2000 bids.
Two days prior to the homecoming, a recurring morning drizzle hit the campus but failed to hinder the various activities, then in their last stages of preparation.
Rain soaked and “sogged” the Pi Kappa Alpha house decorations, but judges still found their theme of an SC alumnus seated before a fire envisioning SC in the Rose Bowl deserving of the grand sweepstakes trophy. We note here, also, that years have changed things. House decorations today is a sorority function while fraternities have turned their attention to floats.
Queen Crowned Maxine Ewart was selected as the 1947 Helen of Troy Dec. 3 and it was official when she was crowned by Fred D. Fagg J**
The following day, a variety show was presented at the Shrine auditorium and featured J<J Stafford, Alan Young, and Jack Carson. No fraternities or other school acts were featured because Trolios had not come into the picture.
A . victory parade with floats followed the variety show processional but this is not considered to be on a par with the Wilshire boulevard parades of the past few years.
Grand Climax
Homecoming 1947 was climaxed in grand fashion, but not many Trojans were happy. A mighty Notre Dame beat Rose Bowl hungry SC 38-7 before a record-breaking Coliseum crowd of 104,-953.
By dancetime, however, Troy-town was in more festive spirits and several thousand students and alumni filed into the Hotel Ambassador in Santa Monica to close the pages of $ book of happiness and memories for another yea*

summer of 1951 by invitation of the United States Fish and Wild Life Service, Bartholomew studied the social behavior and the life history of the Alaska fur seal.
The Pribilof Island herd consists of 3 million seals, whose fur is valued at $6 million per year.
Male seals of this species have female harems as large as 100 in number. These harems are maintained through fighting only, the winner keeping his harem while the loser becomes one of the 60,000 unmated male seals killed each year.
Only one other island has the same species of seal, that being the Commander island near Russia. The herd on this island is much smaller and not as good for research as that of Pribilof island.
Students and faculty are invited.
