Wreath Placed on Footprints
As the sun stood at noon in the hot September sky, Friday, they came to mourn a dead Trojan.
Slowly the crepe-draped convertibles crept down University avenue carrying their mourners. Near the Alumni memorial, among a crowd of solemn onlookers, the procession stopped.
There, by his concrete footprints, George Tirebiter was officially released from his duties as Trojan mascot to become a legend.
As photographers from the Daily Trojan and downtown newspapers popped their flashbulbs, student leaders placed a wreath on George's footprints and paid tribute to the departed canine.

Earlier in. the Daily Trojan, President Fred D. Fagg Jr., who was not present at the ceremony, had paid similar homage to “the dog that could smile like a man,” as the Los Angeles Herald-Express called him.
Vets to Display Hector Today
Today is ‘Hector the Trojan Horse Day.”
The equestrian-rhinded Trovets are proposing a horse to take the place of Tirebiter as SC mascot. They will exhibit their entry at j noon today in front of Bovard auditorium.
Spirit for the SC-Iowa game will be generated when the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority lead the students in specially written cheers.
"We feel that Hector the Trojan horse is a much more dignified and appropriate symbol of SC tradition than some dog. George was a character in his own right and i voluntarily adopted the Trojans, ; But we don’t believe that he can

Meeting at Idyllwild last P’riday and Saturday in a spirit of coopera-! tion, 50 ASSC senators, campus leaders, and faculty and administration members drew up plans for bridging some of the gaps in social and political differences at the university.
The delegates called for improved counseling facilities for both personal and academic problems, informal gatherings to acquaint students with administration and faculty heads, more simplified machinery for processing student grievances, and a study of methods to increase the voice of students in determining classroom procedures.
In* addition it was recommended that President Fred D. Fagg Jr. present an annual verbal report to the student body on the program and progress of the university.
Further suggestions were that ASSC senators establish office sessions ■ hours, the General Alumni association consider reduced membership fees for students who join prior to graduation, and instructors participate in a program to “personalize” the opening meeting of each class by having students introduce themselves.
Emphasis was placed on the part the Daily Trojan plays in informing the student body of university activity. Requests were made that several features highlighting alum-| ni affairs and members, class func-| tions and personalities, and duties I of student body officers be carried. Delegates attended five panel discussion groups with participation The plan is the first of its kind • being shared by students, and fac-

At Troy 21 Years
by Jim Blake
All Troy today mourned the death ot Justin M. “Sam” Barry, for more than 20 years head basketball and baseball coach at SC, who died of a heart attack Saturday morning in Berkeley. He was 57 years old.
Barry collapsed Saturday while walking to the Califor-
nia-Santa Clara football game, which he was to have scouted for SC. He died while being rushed to a hospital.
Rosary will be recited tonight in White-callanan mortuary at 8. Requiem Mass wiil be held tomorrow morning at St. Vincent's church with interment immediately following at Holy cross cemetery.
Confined To Scouting
The genial mentor was an active member of the Trojan football coaching stafi until this year when
President Fred D. Fagg Jr., upon learning of the death of Coach Sam Barry Saturday, spoke for all the university:
“The University of Southern California has lost one of its most valued members. He was recognized as a great coach, a highly valued colleague, and » very good friend. We shall not forget him.”
“George Tirebiter was a superb , at SC. or any other school too. for uity and administration members.

KOREA, Sept. 24 —(U.E)— Communist troops fled so fast on the northern front today that the South Korean army could not catch up with them.
As the Reds retreated, between j ' Andong and Yongdok, they were : pounded without mercy by Ameri-| can fighter planes and bombers. I One Red prisoner of war captured north of Kigye claimed the ; officers of his outfit left the men last night to fend for themselves. ;
ill health forced him to confine his duties to scouting. He was with a friend. Abe Zimmerman of Peru. Ind., when he stumbled and fell as they walked up a hill wTest of the University of California stadium.
Police sergeant Jack Fink held Barry on his lap as they raced to Cowell Memorial hospital in a commandeered jeep. When they reached the hospital Barry was pronounced dead-Barry’s death came as a profound shock to everyone who had known him during his 21 years at the university. He was noted for his cheerful disposition and had earned a variety of nicknames that endeared him to the sporting public. Most popular probably was “Elevator Sam.” referring to his antics on the basketball court when, in the excitement of the contest, he would be up on his feet and down on the bench a hundred times per game.
He. perhaps more than any other coach, earned the title of “the father of modem basketball.” His successful campaign for the elimination of the center jump after a basket and his championing of the ten second rule are what make basketball the fast, exciting game that has became the No. 1 spectator sport in the U.S.
Always Was Honest Never a “crying towel” type of coach, he was always honest in his appraisal of his teams. He worked hard, probably too hard, in developing his style of play and expected those wrho played for him to work just as hard in making it work.
It is likely that more professional baseball players are products of his coaching than of any other collegiate coach in the nation. His record as a baseball mentor was near the top in his profession.
Barry was unique in the coaching profession as, in this day of specialization, he held two head coaching and an assistant coaching post in three of the four major sports since his arrival at SC in 1930.
He came to Troy on the recommendation of the late Howard Jones, whom he had assisted in football at the University of Iowa-Continued on Page Three
