Rally Yells To Resound Over Troy
By MIKE ROBINSON
Organized excitement will take over on 28th St. at 8 tonight when a singing, dancing, roaring battalion of Trojans invade the Row in a show of spirit for USCs football team.
Over 2.000 voices are expected to urge Coach John McKay’s depleted forces to “Fight On” against UCLA Saturday when the Trojan warriors will com« onto the field to either make or break this season.
If a stirring rally can really help to win football games. Bob Whitehill has done his part.
150 Workers
As Homecoming rally chairman, Whitehill has amassed ths efforts of more than 150 people to produce the1 type of rally that leaves the participants breathless and exhausted when their energy has been spent.
Following more than six months of personal effort. Whitehill now leaves it up to every Trojan to sing, to dance and to yell at the rally tonight, which “will show the 1960 varsity what their student body, as a total body, is hoping they will do in the Coliseum Saturday at 2 p.m.”
Representing USCs team. Coach McKay will be present to speak to Trojan rooters about his squad's ambition.
He will be accompanied by several members of the team which, despite rumors regarding injuries, still numbers more than the 11 necessary men.
Rock and Roil
Besides the yelling and clapping, there will be an abundant* of music for rocking and rolling to be provided by Mike Adams and his Red Jackets, who will play rock and roll numbers.
Of TGIF fame, the Red Jackets have an estimated volume range great enough to pull students to the rally from the other side of campus.
Also providing music will be another rock and roll entertainer, USC’s own Deane Hawley* Hawley, pride of Phi Sigms Kappa and Dore Records, will sing and play his guitar backed by the Phi Sigarettes.
Top Reputation The Phi Sigs will provide several of their numbers which have a reputation for inspiring their audiences to clap louder with each successive number.
At 4 this afternoon, the Los Angeles Police Department will post “No Parking” signs along 28th St. between University ave and Severance st. to facilitate the erection of a band platform, lights and a public address system.
During the rally, police will block off the Row from traffic in the interest of public safety.
After persuing the agenda for the rally with Whitehill, Homecoming Chairman Jim Childs noted that “every Trojan should want to come to enjoy the rally and to show the team we want to beat UCLA.”
Only one element will be missing from the rally, the traditional bonfire, which failed to meet with university approval and will, consequently, not be a part of the festivities.
