Weird Posters Herald Approach of New Student Organ of Unknown Origin
ITS NAME WILL BE WAMPUS
Policy and Connections of New Periodical Remains a Matter of Conjecture
Mystery, gloom, and black cats surrounds even the name of the Trojan’s new rival, Wampus, which is due, according to rumor, to make its appearance today at the book exchange. The new organ is said to be of student origin, but the names of its sponsors could not be learned late yesterday.
This much the campus gossips seem agreed upon: The new journal is a magazine, somewhat bigger than the Trojan, and somewhat smaller than the Saturday Evening Post. It will contain some pictures, and perhaps some reading matter. It is said to be of a humorous nature, and to be either strongly in support of or else radically opposed to the present student administration.
Whether it is to be a daily, weekly or annual publication, is another subject of controversy between the oracles of the main hall. The weight of authority seems to lie with the once-a-month theorists.
A large, freakish black animal, resembling either a cat or a jiraffe, is depicted on the posters advertising the “mystery sheet.” The identity of this zoological freak is a question of interest equal to that touching on the identity of the Trojan’s rival.

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 11.—The University of Utah is sending a fast and heavy team to meet the Trojans Saturday. However, only three men on the squad have ever played intercollegiate football before this year. Of these three, only one was ever seen in action against the University of Southern California. That one is Eddie Howells, halfback who played halfback against the Trojans in 1917 at Los Angeles when Utah “also ran.”
Whatever experience the men have to their credit has been acquired in the five battles fought thus far, all of them with colleges of the Rocky Mountain country. Utah defeated Colorado College in the first game of the season by a score of 20 to 0. On the following Saturday the Colorado Aggies, romping about on their own Dasture, treated the Utahans to a 34 to 21 beating. The next game was with the University of Idaho, a team which plays in the Northwest conference. Utah won by a 20 to 0 score. One week later, the Crimson backs pounded their wav to a 66 to 0 score over Montana. The last game was also won by the Crimson, after a real battle royal. The U. of Colorado, from Boulder, Utah’s traditional enemy, took the count of 7 to 0. The only time Utah’s line has been crossed this year was when they were defeated at Fort Collins, Colorado.
Introducing Coach Fitzpatrick
The coach who has developed this team is an old Utah man, and an Irishman. This is his first year at collegiate football tutoring, but he has turned ou<; some of the finest high school teams in the state, lie also coached the basket ball team which represented Utah at Los Angeles last winter. His r^me is Thomas Michael Fitzpatrick. “Tommy" is assisted by “Dad” Callahan, an old Yale man.
“Mit” Romney is captain of the team ♦Ms year: his nosition is quarterback. Mit is the fourth member of the famous family, two members of which played against U. S. C. before. His brother Lowell played half against the Troians in 1916, and the second brother, “Woody,” played at guard and half in 1917. The U. S. C. fans were unfortunate in having no chance to see the first of the family plav “Ott” Romney was all-conference end in 1913. Although Mit is doubtless ♦he fastest and hardest hitting one in the family, he Is not the last one of his tribe- He has a kid brother t^r*ng around at quarter for the frosh.

When Coach Henderson’s Trojan eleven lines up against the University of Utah team tomorrow afternoon, on Bovard Field, it is probable that several new men will be noticed in the Cardinal and Gold sweaters.
Several of Coach Herd’s peagreen footballers have been practicing with the varsity and learning the signals .This is the result of a decision allowing first-year men to play in a varsity game, when the opposing team is not a member of the California Conference.
Tony Wayahn, who is recovering from slight injuries, will undoubtedly show up in a back position. Wayahn has been exhibiting great class in former games in carrying the ball and should make good tomorrow.
Calland and Boyle, tackles on the Frosh aggregation, may be given an opportunity to plug up the line at their positions.
Both men have plenty of beef, are experienced in the game, and will be capable of giving a good account of themselves.
Greene, left end on the peagreen squad, has put up a fast game hither tofore for the freshmen, and may get a chance to get into action against the Utes.
Utah has a good record behind them this year, having won four out of five games. The Salt Lake boys lost a contest to the Colorado Agricultural College, reported to be the champions of the Rocky Mountain League. Utah turned the trick on their other opponents, triumphing over the gridders from Idaho, Colorado College, University of Colorado, and Montana State.
The Salt Lake players are said to possess a classy line of tricky and fake plays. T. M. Fitzgerald, the Ute mentor, has relied greatly in the past, on triple passes, forward passes, and end runs from puzzling formations. Also, in addition to their flashy stylo of play, the Utes have a speedy star in the person of “Mit” Romney, heralded to be a back field man of the first degree. Romney has the reputation of being a wonderful broken field runer, and R remains to be seen what he will accomplish against the Trojans. This gent is the captain and quarterback of the visiting crowd. With Romney and their other fast backs, the Utes figure on slipping the small end of the score to Henderson’s proteges.
The Trojans have been taking life somewhat easier this past week and are in great shape for the tussle. Halfback Stuart may not appear in the lineup, having sustained a sprained ankle. Either Packer, Chesnut or Lockett will substitute for him. The Cardinal and Gold followers are going
Work Going On at Rate Unhoped For—Foundations Are All in Ready for Brick
39 LABORERS ARE AT WORK
New Auditorium to Seat 2300 Persons and to Have Pit, Galleries, Dressing Rooms
At a rate much greater than planned or hoped for the new administration building is taking form. In' the six weeks since the first shovelful of earth was tossed into waiting trucks, excavations have been dug to the depth of twenty feet and massive, broad foundations of poured concrete have risen.
The north and south wings are ready for the first course of brick. It is intended to use a unique style of laying giving the appearance, when completed, of multitudes of triangles, large and small. The pattern is typically Dutch, and with a pastelle shade of brick, will be a departure from the common method of laying used in the average building.
Foundations for the huge auditorium will be started in three days. Workmen are now completing the steel reinforcement to be used. The hall will seat 2300 persons, and have two galleries.
The pit and dressing rooms will be nearly fifteen feet underground, such is the slant given the floor.
An interesting discovery was made when the big scoop shovel was tearing its way into the earth. When it had reached a depth of some ten feet, the bed of an old river was uncovered. It is thought to have belonged to the Los Angeles river when it followed a course paralleling Vermont avenue. Nature has since covered the boulders and gravel with a layer of soil.
At present there are 39 laborers at work, with two foremen and a superintendent, Mr. G. G. Stewart, oversee* ing construction. On building work there are 12 carpenters and two steel reinforcement men. There have been as high as 60 laborers and 25 carpenters employed during the initial work.
