Football Rally Packs Bovard
The most hilarious part of last night’s rally in Bovard came as the television equipment was being carted off when John Matson brought roars of applause and laughter from a packed auditorium.
The versatile musician-clown did everything from giving a quick imitation of Dick Cantino to playing “St. Louis Blues” on the trumpet, while smoking a cigar. Somewhere along the way he managed to play both the trumpet and accordion in his arrangement of “Summertime.”
Tommy Harmon and the Hoffman Hi Time program, which televised the first part of the rally over KECA-TV, were ushered on stage by Tommy Walker and an 11-man band playing “Fight On for Old SC.”
Notables Cotton Warburton and Walt Hargesheimer aided Harmon in diagraming the halfback swing pass play which enabled Roundy to make one of Saturday’s touchdowns in the Navy game. Director of Athletics Willis O. Hunter and Dean Bernard L. Hyink were brought out for quick interviews before Walker and the band burst into a medley of college songs.
Added musical entertainment arranged by Rally Chairman Mary Freeman included Clancy Calahan, sporting the green of Erin, who sang “McNamara’s Band”; Delores Peterson, who aided in some painless advertising for Hoffman television sets before singing “Night and Day”; and the Hart twins playing “Tico Tico” on stomach Stein ways.
Bob Padgett first non-org SC’s history.
DT reporters searched the archives of the University library yesterday for copies of 27-year-old DT’s in an effort to find information about the first non-org ASSC pres ident.
The DT's search disclosed that the election reports of May 18,
1922,	printed only a few days after present Chancellor Dr. Rufus B von KleinSmid was installed as university president, made no mention of newly elected ASSC President Dudley Hayes being the first independent to receive the office.
A check of the elections of 1921,
1923,	and 1924 also failed to reveal any election race where an* issue similar to that of the contemporary Padgett-Vierheilig contest existed.
In the old days, when even the DT editor was elected, the^ student body wasn’t as large as the number of total votes cast in the election just completed.
Padgett, meanwhile, said he did not know where the “first-in-27-years” story originated. Comment ing on his first day in office. Padgett said he had an easy day of it, thanks to Ellen Potter, ASSC vice-president.
“My office is open to all members of all organizations in the student body,” he added. “Any suggestions from students in the uni versity will be given serious consideration, and we hope to get lots of them.”
Four ASSC Posts Open
Bob Padgett, ASSC president, announced yesterday that there are four openings for ASSC committee chairmen which must be filled immediately.
Chairmen are needed for the Student Union committee, University Recreation association, Greater University committee, and the Trojan Chest.
Petitions will be available after 1 p.m. today in the president's office, 233 Student Union. All aspirants are asked to fill out the petitions and file them at once.
Each petition will be carefully considered by a committee consisting of Padgett and two representatives from each party.
Final selection will be based entirely on the experience and qualifications of each candidate regardless of campus affiliation.

Such a weakness could prove disastrous against a team like Washington State, which boasts a terrific tosser in 20-year-old Bob Gambold and a great receiver in 6-foot 3-inch end Fran Polsfoot.
Gambold currently rests atop PCC total offense standings with 343 yards acquired in two games and beat out teammate Frank Ma-taya, one of the coast’s leadins aerial artists last year, for the starting QB position.

Game Stunts Will Keep Fans on Edge
There will be no half-time letdown at tomorrow’s grid hontest if Tommy Walker’s marching musicians and the SC card section under the direction of Knight President Bert Coffey can help it.
Troy’s Football band will march and play their way through seven half-time formations while the pasteboards in the stands flicker through 13 card stunts.
George Tirebiter also will be on hand to add his vocal accompaniment to the activities. He is schcd- ' uled to enter the Coliseum with the Trojan cheerleaders in the antique horseless carriage, “Delta Queen.”
UMBRELLA OPENS
The band will begin its midgame formations by stepping off on the downbeat of “Great Day” while it forms a closed umbrella on the gridiron.
It will then go into the strains of “Stormy Weather” at the time the formation marches into thc shape of an opening umbrella.
Visiting Cougar fans in the south stands probably will hope the next formation is an omen of their team’s fortunes in the final half when the umbrella dissolves into a rainbow while the band plays “WSC Game.”
Following the song, “I’m Always Chasing Rainbows,” the band will switch into the melodies of “Strolling Through the Park” at the same time it forms the figure of a man on the field.
Final formations will be the block letters. WSC, USC. and finally a large T.
Engineering student Howard Talk-ington maps the formations for the band before each game. The band’s new arrangements were done by bandsman Frank Ericson.

SC will be represented in tho next two stunts that will depict the “SC Sword,” symbolizing the strong spirit which surrounds the Troy team. The following pasteboard display will picture the “Trojan War-horse.”

Asking the Federal Communications commission to approve his tube, which can be used with any proposed method of transmission. Dr. Geer recommended that the FOC set the following standards for color television:
1.	All color transmission shall be broadcast so as to be received as black and white on present black and white sets.
2.	The radio and television industry shall be encouraged to manufacture all future color television receivers so that they can receive black and white broadcasts.
3.	No standards set up shall prevent low-priced, direct-viewing receivers, such as the Geer system, from operation.
professor threw powerful punches in behalf of the small home owner; the man who can’t afford to buy another television set every time a new gadget hits the market.
In arguing for a simple, inexpensive, reliable, durable color receiving system, he insisted that it also should be portable in nature and have a minimum of parts and be able to receive any signal.
“It is reasonable for the ordinary consumer to expect to find a color television set which will fit his home rather than to have to find a home to fit his set,” Dr. Geer maintained.
The professor, who was invited by the FCC to Washington to test’fy at its color TV standards conference, began work on his invention five years ago and had it

SC Broadcaster Will Air Game
An SC radio student, who beat out six competitors, three of them well-known sports commentators, in a TV “mike” poll this summer, will broadcast the SC-Washington state game over KECA-TV tomorrow afternoon.
The winner was Bob Mercado, graduate radio student, who polled 104 of the 135 vote total. Another SC man, Jerry Pomerance, picked up 24, while Sam Balter nabbed three, Frank Bull, two, and Braven Dyer, Freeman Lusk, and Tom Harmon, one each.
Tomorrow, Mercado will work with Harmon and Fort Pearson, another sports announcer.
Mercado has announced on KUSC programs for almost two years. Last semester he entertained leading sports figures on his own show, Sports American,” and handed all Bovard field baseball games.

SC Loses History Job
SC is no longer the seat of the California State Historical asso ation.
According to Dr. Owen C. Coy, SC professor and director of the association, a bill was passed by the State legislature late this summer discontinuing all appropriations and transferring the activities of the association to the State Department of Education.
The action was first brought to Dr. Coy’s attention on Aug. 1. On his desk was a letter from Governor Warren, notifying Dr. Coy of the passage of the bill. Since the governor was to sign the bill that day, Dr. Coy said he had no opportunity to voice his objections.
Dr. Coy stated he was aware that “forces were at work” to dis-
solve the association. He declined to say just who these forces were.
It is a matter of record, nevertheless, that Phillip Davis, state assemblyman from the Westwood district, had openly opposed any further appropriation of funds for the society, said Dr. Coy.
Earlier in the summer, Dr. Coy had sent a letter to State Senator W. P. Rich, stating that there was no need to transfer the association to the Department of Education since it was already under the control of that department.
Dr. Coy said that one week after the bill became effective, the Department of Education acted, and all inventoried material belonging to the state was removed from Dr.
Coy’s headquarters in the basement of Bridge Hall.
Despite his failure to head off the action of the legislature, Dr. Coy affirmed that he is not giving up all interest in the society in which he has been active for the past 34 years.
Plans are under way in conjunction with John E. Fields, director of development at SC, to continue many of the projects undertaken by the society. In the past, much of this work has been performed by graduate and undergraduate students.
Dr. Coy emphasized that many opportunities exist here at the university to carry on the work. At the time of the legislature’s action, several publications were be-
ing prepared by students, and it is Dr. Coy’s hope that this work will eventually be completed and published.
“The opportunity exists,” said Dr. Coy, “for the university and students to derive much benefit from the successful completion of projects now on hand.”
Dr. Coy came to SC from the University of California in 1924. Three years later the California State Historical association Was founded, and he was appointed its director, a position he has held to the present date. During this period, extensive research in California and western history has been carried on and the findings published in many pamphlets and books.
