COLLEGE OF MUSIC TO GIVE SKIT AND SONGS AT U. S. C. HALLOWE’EN
Students of the College of Music are taking a great interest iti the Hallowe'en party this year.

Mr. Burr’s presidential speech as well received. Miss Gladys Hill !*ce|vt‘d the first prize for guessing , >< largest number of names of sociologists.
The freshmen football team will meet the State Normal squad this afternoon on Bovard Field. Fred Teschke lias been putting his men through a stiff practice this week, and they are now ready to meet any foe who lias the nerve to approach the battlefield.
Coach “Chop” Suey of the Normal School is bringing his men here with the firm determination to get revenge on the university “babes” for the treatment the teachers received at the hands of the varsity a few weeks ago.
Teschke has not decided as to what men he will put in the game against the Normalites, but he is certain that all his warriors will have a chance to show their ability as pig-skin chasers.
Ten cents admission will be charged for the game. The freshmen will turn out strong and form a rooting section.
Coach Dean Cromwell has given up ill despair the effort of trying to get a practice game for his men Saturday. If the L. A. A. C. squad do not meet the Indians at Fiesta Park, they will give the varsity a chance to get rid of their overabundance of “pep.”

Training Table Popular With U. S. C. Huskies
Flour and meat and milk may be soaring sky-high in price, but it doesn’t worry the varsity football team. Why should it? They don’t have to pay for what they eat at the evening training table.
Last night “Red” Burkett of Santa Ana fame got away with six glasses of milk — over a quart—and then went back to the kitchen and asked for more. “Rah” Mallete, open field dodger, ate so many cobs of corn that when he was through he couldn’t look over the pile of accumulated cobs. Seven cobs by actual count disappeared into the diminutive halfback’s breadbasket.
Big tackle Fox went strong on the meat. Marx consumed enough macaroni to run up one side of the Hag pole to the top and down the other tide to the ground. Ben W'eiss— Doctor Hill pronounces the name wise —exercised his jaws mainly on the potatoes.
“Sweet dreams, boys,” called the coach as one by one the players, erstwhile eaters, staggered to their feet and started homeward.
j Coach Cromwell Says Training-Table Will Make for Better Team-Work and Get Men Together
I	'
The training-table has come to the university, much to the satisfaction of the men on the football squad. That this will not be unwelcome to the players is assured. Every one of the nineteen men who ate at the training-table for the first time, last Wednesday night, went away feeling that he had a good time.
The following men sat at the table for the first time: Blake, Burkett, Clark, Chick, Fox, Jones, Kelly, Malette, Marks, Murray, Rapp, Shepherd, Sigler, Simpson, Speer, Stuart, Weiss, Wilson, Work.
The training-table is held in the cafeteria every evening immediately following practice. After a hard scrimmage, a good meal hits the spot. And it was a good meal—the fellows say it was.
Coach Cromwell says that his aim in establishing the training-table is to get the men together, lie also added: “A football team is a team, not eleven men sticking around together. A team should imply team-work, and for good team-work the men must know each other.”
It is this idea of “getting together” rather than an attempt to give the ; men proper food, which has instigated the training-table.
