Colton's Statement
i his letter to Bradley, Colton j
It is with deep regret that, I ; st tender my resignation as 1 g chairman. It is with t reluctance that I take this j >n since I sincerely desire to j Homecoming a great success, to an unexpected opportunity the motion picture industry—a which I hope to pursue—I w realize that I will be unable devote the necessary time to-,rd the fulfillment of my dutie6.
‘WUl Be Success* Homecoming is now well under- ' y and there is every reason to lieve that it can be pursued to successful climax. To insure this d I feel it wise to recommend my successor a person experi -ced in the Homecoming proced-s.
T believe that such a man is ailable in Tony Taylor. I also ve that if the new Homecom-chairman will retain my pres-assistant. Chuck Kelly, who most ably assisted me. Home-can be made a great suc-

Bruins Axe DT Spy Plot
hy Nick Apple
I was a spy for the Daily Trojan yesterday in the editorial offices of the Daily Bruin.
But my efforts to trace the whereabouts of missing George Tirebiter II and recover him in time for the SC football rally this afternoon were muzzled before they really started. Counter-intelligence of the Westwood campus news-sheet nipped the DT espion^pp plot.
In the meantime, Trojan Knights are conducting another investigation to bring Troy’s mascot back home in time for the football game tomorrow. President Jack Owen has received many telephone clues, but they have been of no avail. If the mutt is not found today, he plans to conduct a house-to-house hunt tomorrow along the UCLA Row.
Yesterday afternoon I drove to UCLA and sought out the Bruin editorial offices in Kerckhoff hall. Associate Editor Dick Schenk greeted me with a warm handshake and said he could use another reporter. I gave him a nom de plume and a fast line of fictitious Junior college journalism experience.
Before Schenk could lead me over to the city editor for an assignment, Editor Bob Myers walked in. He looked like someone I had met four months ago at a roundtable discussion. He was the same one. The axe fell quickly and quietly on my spying career.
I explained to Myers that I had hoped to gain inside information of George's disappearance through working on the DB staff.
Myers said he knew nothing about Tirebiter except that he was missing. He suggested that we search our own campus for the dog. After all, what could UCLA want with the SC mascot?
TAILBACK FRANK GIFFORD looks like he's go t his eyes closed but that's just determination. He'll need plenty of the same tomorrow in the Coliseum when the Trojans meet the Oregon State Beavers. This will be the first meeting of the two teams since 1948. Tro^ is favored slightly, but Oregon State has demonstrated that it ranks with the best in the conference when it held Michigan State to a 6-0 win a few weeks ago. (Courtesy L.A. Mirror)
Undefeated SC Attempts to Cain Fourth in Row
by Kent Milton Daily Trojan Sports Editor
The PCC-leading Trojans and the Oregon State Beavers—both pre-season choices to wind up anywhere but the Rose Bowl—meet at 2 p.m. in the Coliseum tomorrow to decide which team has a definite edge for the Pasadena invitation for next Jan. 1.
The Trojans, who find themselves in the oft-proved dangerous position of being favored over Kip Taylor’s squad, also put their conference leadership up for grabs, and the Beavers—by way of their public relations director—have breezed it around that they are the ones who can grab it.
A pre-game estimate of the two teams shows that OSC might not be far wrong for the Corvallis crew comes to town loaded with Mann-power, headed, of course, by Dave Mann, a talented sophomore who in the space of three games has built himself the leading ground-gaining average in the PCC. He sports a 7.2-yard average accumulated against teams such as Michigan State, just the No. 1 team in the country, and Utah, a cofavorite in the Skyline conference.
Dark Horse
Before the season the Beavers were ranked as a dark-horse, with a possible chance to upset one or two strong teams.
Then OSC held Michigan State to a 6-0 win. booted Utah, 61-16,
! and cuffed Idaho, 34-6. The Beav-; ers rating began to move up, and : with it grew the opinion that here | was a team that would spend a lot more time looking down on the rest I of the conference than gazing wistfully up from its usual near-cellar spot.

Later in the afternoon the squad will leave for the Miramar hotel in Santa Monica where they will spend the night prior to Saturday's game with the Oregon State Beavers.

Columbus Day
SC joins the rest of the Western world today in celebrating Columbus day—the 459th anniversary of the discovery of the American hemisphere.
The Spanish department is commemorating Columbus day with a lecture, a film on Columbus, and a piano recital tonight at 8 in 133 Founders hall.
Another commemoration, however, is taking place today In Santo Domingo—now the Dominican republic—where Columbus found immortality for himself.
With a fleet of broken-down boats, Columbus accidentally bumped into this West Indies island. He dutifully claimed it and surrounding territory for Queen Isabel.
What he found on Santo Domingo was a group of natives living simply and peacefully. When the people back in Spain learned of the discovery, they generally agreed the New World would never amount to much.
But they eri^d a little in their judgment, and we on the western side of the world continue to commemorate the discovery of a freedom-loving continent.

W. E. Cannon
Director of Student Teaching
Willett, faculty athletic representative.
H.P. Everest. Washington faculty representative in the Pacific Coast conference, made the charges during a talk to the Everett (Wash.) Kiwanis club. He stated that there was little doubt that the injuries to Quarterback Sam Mitchell and Halfback Dick Sprague in SC's 20-13 upset of the Huskies were part of a pre-conceived plan. Both men received leg injuries.
Everest also stated that he plans to take the matter before the conference at its January meeting.
Dr. Willett, in a statement late yesterday afternoon, said:
“We are very much surprised that an official representative of a Pacific Coast conference university could make such a statement as that attributed to Professor Everest of the University of Washington.
“Last Saturday’s game was a hard-hitting football game but a clean one. This is amply confirmed by the motion pictures of the game.”
Coach Jess Hill has already flatly stated that the Trojan footballers played hard, clean football ar.d that the injuries sustained by the Husky players would have been possible in any hard-fought game.
Sprague is expected to be on the sidelines for several weeks, and Mitchell to miss this week’s clash with Oregon in Portland.
