Many Former Prep. School Stars Enter Race for Club Membership
By Ronald F. Stannard
Play in the Round Robin Tennis Tournament to pick the new members for the U. S. C. Tennis Club will commence this afternoon. There are fourteen men entered for the matches which assures a great deal of competition since only the best six will be eligible for membership. Following are the entrants: Russell Turner, Paul Greene, Fred Buschmeyer, Francis Selecman, E. H. Blassier, “Steve” Black, Charley Paddock, Carl Far-man, Harry Van Cleve,. Richard Bird, Franklyn Huling, E. Humphreys, Anthony Combs, and A. H. Sallstrom.
Each man will play nine games with each other entrant, and the six winning the highest number of games will qualify. This gives every man an equal opportunity and also makes it possible for all tennis enthusiasts to become well acquainted with each other’s style of playing.
The tourney will do a great deal toward stimulating interest in the net game among the players who will form the squad for this year’s tennis team; however, failure to win out for club membership will not disqualify a man for a place on the squad.
Turner, Selecman, Blassier, Black, and Farman are scheduled to play off their matches this afternoon on the Exposition Park courts. A good many of the men entered are not as yet well-known in local sport circles. However, Turner, formerly of Manual Arts High school, and Blassier, from Iowa State College, are expected to show considerable class on the courts.
The tennis crowd is waiting expectantly for the appearance of Charley “Monty” Paddock and Fred Buschmeyer. Much heralded as they are for their achievements on the cinder-path, their court abilities are practically unknown.
Paul Greene is expected to make a number of players step lively, for in his several appearances on the University courts during the past month his strokes have been working very smoothly.
Francis Selecman has been out practicing a great deal of late and his usual steady game may prove a stumbling block to many opponents.
The entrants in the present tourna-ment, with the present club members, will provide excellent material for the formation of the squad of six ®en from which will be selected the tennis team to represent U. S. C, in batches with the Universities of California and Stanford, and the colleges of this part of the state.
At present there are six members ln the club: “Chuck” Ainley, Charles rfjfebach, Irwin Snavely, “Reggie” u,d8, “Bob” Rager, and Ron Stannard.

U. S. C.’s wild kitten, the “Wampus,” will make its third howl on the campus, this time as a full-grown up-to-date back fence cat, on January 28th, a week from Wednesday. The animal has grown almost beyond recognition, and according to the printer, eats up four or five times as much ink as it did at first.
Twenty eight pages, an increase of 12 over issue number two and 20 over number one, will go between the high class colored covers. Cuts and cartoons, some of them taking a full page, humorous articles, poems, jokes, and various features will fill the pages.
Editor H. Aubry Miller has established the magazine as a permanent institution at U. S. C. He has enlarged his staff for the third issue to three or four times the size of it in previous editions, and is working on a system by which he will procure the best writers in the University as contributors. He has promised good snappy college wit, and those who have seen the copy prepared for the “Wampus” thus far state that he lias more than lived up to advance dope.
With two Trojan cartoonists added to the editorial staff, the “Wampus” will make cuts one of its strongest features. There will be many illustrated artic les and jokes, and other jokes and
