Row Denies Mirror Story
No Cloak and Dagger Movement Here, IFC Prexy Schmidt Says
by Don Brown
It was a peaceful fall day for a while yesterday on the SC campus—that is until the Los Angeles Mirror hit the streets.
The paper carried a bylined article by Sportswriter Maxwell Stiles stating that SC’s fraternity row had started “a
cloak and dagger movement to oust Jeff Cravath and the rest of his coaching staff” as a result of the Trojans' poor showing on the football field so far this season.
Campus comers buzzed with comments on the story. Most students were skeptical. One was ob-

Tollis Compton, picnic co-chairman. said yesterday there will be “plenty of food.” Six large tables loaded with hot dogs, sandwiches, potato salad, cokes, and coffee wifi be set up in the area.
The quartet contest will be judged by three members of the Association for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Singing in America, said picnic co-chairman Dennis Murphy. Trophies will be presented the best male and female groups.
Murphy said quartet tryouts will be held tomorrow at 4 p.m. in the Student Lounge. Quartets must report tomorrow to be considered for the finals, he added. All applications for song choices must be turned in by 2 p.m. today in the AMS-AWS office.
Murphy said winners of the | “Hello and Smile Time” contest will | be crowned at the picnic. The students chosen as king and queen of smiles will be awarded $10 gift certificates.
“More than 2000 students attended last year,” Murphy said, “and
CAMPUS LEADERS yesterday turned in a strong vote of confidence on Coach Jeff Cravath after it had been charged in the L. A. Mirror that certain fraternities were plotting to oust him. Cravath, head football coach since 1942, has lost only 10 conference games since starting at SC.
Wheels Arrange Rally for Jeff
As soon as the anti-Cravath rumor started yesterday machinery was put into action to hold a mass impromptu rally for Cravath this noon In front of the Student Union building.
According to Dan Schiavone, president of the Trojan Knights and head of the rapidly-organized committee, the purpose of the informal gathering is to show the public the students are backing the coach and the team to the fullest.
★ Tell Us More, Max
The Daily Trojan has been accused of suppressing: “common campus knowledge” of anti-Cravath sentiment on the football team.
This allegation apeared yesterday under sportswriter Maxwell Stiles’ byline in the Los Angeles Mirror.
It is, of course, absolutely false.
The editor of the Daily Trojan doesn’t even know how to suppress “common knowledge.” Besides, the editor has been on campus more than thr^e years and has never had any such “common campus knowledge.”
The editor has heard rumors that “players on the team are thoroughly in accord with the anti-Cravath sentiment” after every football game SC has lost. In-
vestigation has ays proved that -he Whispering Willies who spread the rumors didn’t know what they were talking about.
Stiles, in quoting a “prominent SC alumnus, close to fraternity row and the team,” apparently fell hook, line, and sinker for the old, unfounded rumor. He seems to have made no attempt to check the facts.
The rest of the story, written in a gay Halloween mood, tells of a “cloak and dagger movement” and another mysterious telephone call. There is no evidence that Stiles checked anything, but he seems to have had fun with his “news.”
Just such reporting is what sometimes causes the Daily Trojan to lose reporters. They flunk out.

served to buy a copy of the paper, read the story, and with a shrug of his shoulders discard the tabloid in a nearby trash can.
Students Skeptical His action summed up general campus feeling. Many Trojans voiced the opinion that the story was ‘‘a circulation promotion stunt” by the downtown daily.
Officials from fraternities were i quick to discount the secret meeting rumor.
Louis Ramirez, president of Sigma Chi and AMS president, said, “Not only am I solidly for Jeff, but Sigma Chi is 100 per cent behind him and always has been. -He's one of the finest gentlemen I have ever known.” Sigma Chi is ; Cravath’s fraternity.
Added Cal Schmidt, president of the IFC. “I know of no so-called !'cloak-and-dagger’ meetings having been held on the row. F^rther-imore, I do not believe that any of ' these rumored meetings ever oc-1 curred.”
Leaders Cphold Jeff’
Ron Crawford, house president of Chi Phi, backed up Schmidt by ! drying that any such move to oust Cravath had been started 1 among the houses.
Dan Schiavone. president of the Trojan Knights, said. “The Knights | are for the coach and the team down th the last man. That stuff j m the paper was ill founded and . in poor taste, and we want everybody to know just how we feel | about the whole situation.”
Alumni support for Cravath was offered by Eames Bishop, president I of the Trojan club, composed of alumni, who said that his record

It is not in the Trojan tradition to be poor losers.” Wiggins said. “On behalf of the Associated Students I express our continued in the Trojan team, Jeff Cravath. and his staff.
