Roberts Romps as SC Clubs Texas, 44-20
Bv Jim Morad Daily Trojan Sports Editor
Tommy Prothro, Oregon State football coach, must have been overjoyed Saturday afternoon when his Beavers upset a fine Missouri team, 19-13.
By Saturday nighi, though, he was probably back in the customary disconsolate mood of a head football coach.
But this time some slight semblance of pity could be felt for Prothro. The team he is to meet in the Coliseum Friday night had just uncorked one of its most phenomenal opening game performances in history.
That’s right, SC, notorious slow starters and opening game bunglers, completely wiped the Texas turf with a highly rated Longhorns team, 44-20.
And it was only because Jess Hill wanted to give his inexperienced third and fourth stringers plenty of playing time just in case one of these days an injury holocaust thould hit the thin front ranks, that Texas scored its last 13 points at all.
Many pertinent facts about the 1956 Trojan football team were revealed as the game progressed toward its
[successful California climax. Among them were:
1.	That if the football season ended Saturday, C. R. Roberts would unanimously win the Heisman award as the best football player in the country.
2.	That the secret of SC’s success was lightning speed and sharp crack blocking.
3.	That Hill must work furiously on developing some adequate kickers, both for conversions and kickoffs. The Trojans missed five out of seven extra point attempts, and kickoffs weren’t even reaching the 10-yard line.
4.	That Jon Arnett’s previous nemesis is still with him —that of constantly fumbling the football.
5.	That Line Coaches Don Clark and Mel Heim did a remarkable job in developing such inexperienced linemen as Mike Henry, Frank Fiorentino, Ed DeMartini, Walt Gurasich and Pat Reagan, who previously had no varsity experience in such a short time.
6.	That the end position, supposed to be SC’s weakest this year, turned out to be one of its strongest for this game with fine performances turned in by Chuck Leim-bach. Bob Rosendahl, Lindsy Hubby and Hillard Hill.
7.	That presently the center position, with Karl Rubke and Walt Gorrell, looks like the Gibralter of the line.
8.	That Don Hickman is one of the best blocking and defensive backs in the country. Don’t let him go unheralded. Hickman is as important to the Trojan backfield as any man back there.
9.	That SC’s pass defense, the worst in the PCC last year, is still spotty. Despite four interceptions by Hickman, Ernie Zampese, Wayne Kurlak and Frank Hill, the defense allowed 19 of Texas’ 37 passes to succeed.
No matter how many orchids are thrown in the path of the Trojans, chances are if you ask anyone in the Texas audience of 47,000 what was the reason the Longhorns lost only their second opening home game in 63 years and why the Trojans were the first team to score more than three TD’s against the Longhorns in a curtain-raiser, they would name the reason—C. R. Roberts.
Roberts, who played less than half the game, broke a 27-year-old Trojan record Saturday night. It was back in the antiquity oT 1929 that Russell Saunders ran 229 yards against an embryonic UCLA football team.
Saturday, Roberts ran 251 yards in 12 carries, more yards than any Trojan has ever run in a single game. He had a 20.9 average per carry. Truly fantastic.
Although the Trojans did rise to great heights against the Longhorns they did start off sluggishly when Texas QB Joe Clements scooted 36 yards to a TD in the first quarter.
With the score 7-0, Roberts unleashed the first of his runs by slicing around end for 73 yards. Arnett missed the conversion, making it 7-6.
After Hickman recovered a fumble on the SC 38 it didn’t take long for history to repeat itself as Roberts, on the identical play of his first scoring maneuver, trotted 50 yards into the end zone. Bob Isaacson converted.
It was again Hickman’s defensive mastery that set up the third Trojan touchdown in the second quarter. He intercepted a pass and ran 14 yards to the Texas 26.
From there Arnett had to run 70 yards, dodging fierce Longhorns, to make it to the Texas 14. Arnett then followed his protection brilliantly into the end zone to conclude

Mrs. Ohio of 56 Arrives at SC
By David C. Henley Daily Trojan City Editor
Anyone who thinks all beauty contest winners are just dumb, good-looking girls, would change his opinion in a hurry if he met Mrs. Wilfred M. Buth.
Chosen “Mrs. Ohio of 1956” last year at the state finals at Columbus. Mrs. Buth also took third place in the “Mrs. America” contest held a few months later at Daytona Beach, Fla.
An accomplished cook, artist, musician, and teacher, Mrs. Ruth has come to SC with her husband who is the newly-appointed pastor at the Lutheran Student Association and executive director of all Lutheran student work in this area.
“Just a Good Housekeeper”
A far cry from most beauty contests where only a girl's physical statistics count. Mrs. Buth, 32. (who also has very acceptable physical statistics) had to demonstrate her deftness in

I cooking, sewing, ironing, wash-I ing, and “just being a good | homemaker.”
“Even my activities in the community counted towards my being named Mrs. Ohio,” Mrs. I Buth said last week at her com-! fortable Sixth Avenue home a few blocks from the campus.
Busy Woman
In Columbus, where her husband was pastor to the Luth-i eran Students at Ohio State I University. Mrs. Buth (in addi-! tion to keeping a home and tak-! ing care of her husband and : four small children) was an ac-i tive member of Columbus’ opera j association, lyric club, a wom-I an’s church group, and even found time to conduct piano lessons.
After being selected “Mrs.
! Ohio.” Mrs. Buth traveled to : Daytona Beach with her minis-i ter-husband to compete in the j national race.
“That was one of the most difficult weeks I have ever I spent in my life.” Rev. Buth j said in describing the “probation period” he and his wife ! went through in the southern ! city.
Lived Like Guinea Pigs
Both Mr. and Mrs. Buth were 1 assigned to a private bungalow near Daytona’s famous beach where they had to live as guinea I pigs for an entire week.
“I had nothing at all to do but sit around and watch my ! wife cook. sew. wash, and iron,” Rev. Buth said.
“Every minute the contest’s judges and officials would pop in on us and examine my wife’s handiwork and sample her cook-j ing.”
But Mrs. Buth’s homemaking skills paid off when at the end of the week she came in third in a field of 48. She followed Mrs. Oregon and Mrs. Louisiana j who placed first and second, re-j spectively.
Lotsa Loot
In addition to having her picture and name placed in newspapers all over the world, Mrs. Buth won five home and kitchen appliances, a S650 wardrobe, a $100 luggage ensemble, and a $100 watch.
Mrs. Buth, who says she was the only minister’s wife who has ever been named “Mrs. Ohio” or “Mrs.” any other state, carried on the duties of her title to the last minute before her ' trip west. Only one day before (Continued on Page 6)

SCHOLARSHIP
Fall Deadline Announced For Grants
Fall deadlines for two of the world’s most noted scholarship plans have been announced.
Marshall Scholarship awards, good for two years study in England, and Ford Foundation grants, applicable in the United States and overseas, will each close applications this winter. The British plan closes October
31	and the Ford deadline is December 15.
Open to American students under 28 years of age with three years of college education, Marshall Scholarships pay tuition, transportation to England, and $1,540 for living expenses.
Covers Everything
Ford Foundation fellowships cover tuition, transportation, living, and other necessary expenses for one year.
The Ford program is open to seniors who will complete their undergraduate work during 1956-57 and to graduate students, Ph.D.’s, and other “persons of promise.”
While Marshall Scholarship holders may study only in the United Kingdom. Ford Foundation fellowships are applicable in this country or abroad or both for the Asian, African, and Near Eastern programs, and in this country only for Soviet Union and East European study.
Considered by Region
Marshall Scholarships are considered by region—North, Eastern, Southern, Middle Western and Pacific — and awards are given on the basis of character and scholastic achievement.
Of the nine scholarships given to the Pacific area since 1953, five have gone to California students. This is the greatest number won by any single state in the country.
Regional committees, made up of the local British Consul General and four American educators, select three first-choice names plus three alternates. Final judging is done by a seven-member “Distinguished persons” Advisory Council headed by the British Ambassador and then reviewed in London.
ZBT PLEDGES ARRESTED ON PETTY THEFT CHARGES
Two SC students who told police officers they were ordered to go on a scavenger hunt “as part of our fraternity initiation” spent a night in the Beverly HiLls City Jail last week after policemen in that city arrested the pair on petty theft charges.
Larry Gilbert. 19, and Bob Rosenthal, 18. both pledges of Zeta Beta Tau fraternity, were released the following morning on $250 bail each Both suspects are scheduled to appear for sentencing before the Beverly Hills Municipal Court later this week.
Policemen arrested Gilbert and Rosenthal after they observed theim loitering around a Beverly Hi-.ls restaurant shortly before dawn.
According to the arresting officers, the pair first told them they were UCLA students. But later they admitted they were from SC.

Approximately 13,500 day-time students—more than at any time except immediately after World War II— will begin classes today at SC.
“The five per cent increase in students has been estimated for a long time,” said William E. Hall, assistant
registrar.
FACES CHALLENGE
A night school enrollment of I almost 5.000 will bring SC’s to-| tal registered students to around I 18.500, he said.
With night enrollment remaining equal to last year, day enrollment increased from 12,-800 in 1955 to 13,500 this year.

President Terzian States PCC View
(Editor’s Note: This is an open letter to the Trojan Student Body from ASSC President Carl Terzian.)
Dear Trojans:

In throwing the book at SC, the conference declared itself as wanting to fairly and conscientiously clean up a stinking mess which had resulted from deliberate violations of PCC codes.
“Very Dirty Houses”
The conference fathers further tried to explain to millions of irate fans why such stiff penalties were levied by saying that this punishment was the spark necessary to begin cleaning up a lot of very dirty houses. But to most of these same rooters, the severe actions of the PCC clearly represented what some schools had to do at the conference table because they had neither guts nor ability to do

Sheffield explained that the men-women ratio remains about four to one. but that “the increased number of women will cut down their three-date-per-night routine.”

Dean John Cooke Replaces Deuel
Summer Session Dean John D. Cooke has been named acting dean of the graduate school to replace Dr. Harry J. Deuel who died last semester.
Dean Cooke will serve in this new capacity until a permanent dean is chosen. Cooke took the position when Dr. Stanley Townsend, assistant dean, accepted a Fulbright research scholarship at the University of Vienna for this year.
IFC Mentor Is Replaced
Larry Courtney, an SC alumnus and a graduate student in cinema, has been appointed interfraternity coordinator for the current school year, it was announced last week.
He is replacing Jerry Wulk who has taken the position of counselor at Cal Poly in San Dimas, Calif.
A member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, Courtney received his B.A. degree at SC in 1954. During his undergraduate days here, he was a member of Skull and Dagger, Blue Key, Trovets, veteran’s representative on the Senate, and president of Alpha Phi Omega, national campus service fraternity.
Med School Awarded Ford Grant
A $500,000 grant has been given to the School of Medicine by the Ford Foundation to strengthen instruction in tnis professional graduate school of the University.
Similar grants were made to 43 other four-year privately-supported medical schools throughout the country. The College of Medical Evangelists and Stanford received the only other allotments in California.
SC and all other medical schools receiving the funds will hold them as invested endowment for ten years.
During this time the income from the endowment may be spent for instructional purposes, but not for construction or research. After ten years the medical schools will be free to use the principal sum as well as endowment income.

The entrance of 160 new dents from other lands probably will move SC to even higher ranking.
Growth From 1880
SC’s growth from 53 students in 1880 to 13,500 students in 1956 is expected to continue, according to Sheffield. Taking his figures from a doctorate dissertation of a year ago. the admissions director predicted about 30.000 students in 1970 and even more in 1980—the university’s centennial year.
A giant increase in enrollment is expected around 1960 when the World War II baby crop arrives at college age.
Artist Ewing Holds Exhibit Of Paintings
SEEK NAME FOR GRILL; PAYOFF WILL BE $25
A contest to name a new grill just opened in the basement of Aeneas Hall, 833 W. 36th Place, starts today. The first prize will be a S25 meal ticket.
All entries must be written on a 3 x 5 card with the najne, address, and phone number of the entrant, and left at the Dean of Students’ office, 233 SU. Deadline will be noon, Oct. 3.
The new grill, which will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m Monday through Friday, serves the same menu as the Trojan Grill in the Commons basement—hamburgers, hot dogs, enchilades, cold sandwiches, fountain drinks, and ice cream.
“The Rose Parade” is currently being presented by SC Associate Professor of Fine Arts Edgar Ewing in the Ambassador Hotel.
Ewing, unaffected by a Pacific Coas+ Conference edict against the Trojans and the Rose Bowl, presents his impressions of the world-famous New Year s Day event in a series of 25 oil paintings. The works may be seen from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily except Sunday until Oct. 15 in the Dalzell Hatfield Galleries in the Ambassador.
“Each painting fairly shouts ‘parade,’ embody:ng the pomp, the measured movement, the richness and grandeur of the major spectacle,” said one art critic.
This is Ewing’s 19th one-man show in ^he past ten years, and represc-*- six months of intensive work.
Recently the SC painter won the r;-‘	.vard at
the State Fair in Sacramento and an honorable mention and award from the City of Los Angeles.
