Trojans Star On TV Panel
it will also inaugurate the newly formed Los Angeles World Affairs Council.
Adams, a long-time New England political leader and one of the first “Eisenhower for President” backers, flew here from Washington lor the address.
Most Influential His position in the present ad-I ministration is so secure that he ! is often referred to as “Boss” by the President. In order to see Eisenhower, a visitor must see Adams first.
Some White House observers ! say that he is the most influen-i tial man in Washington which also makes him a key figure in world politics..
Cabinet officers usually see the President only once a week while Adams sees him every day.
13 Years in Politics The man who professes to have three heroes, Calvin Coolidge, Daniel Webster, and Revolutian-ary War General John Stark, has had only 13 years in politics.
A graduate of Dartmouth College, his first job was that of a lumberjack and clerk. He saved the company so much money that | he was soon made the treasurer.
In 1940, his boss talked him into running for the State Legislature. He won. After his term had expired he was elected to Congress in the House of Representatives. Defeated for re-election, he took a couple of years off and then ran for governor of New Hampshire in 1948.
Second Term When his first term as governor expired he successfully ran for re-election.
JOHNNY ON THE SPOT — Romping to the first of his four touchdowns against the Trojans is Irish halfback Johnny Lattner. The Irish back broke an all-time SC opponents'
record with his four TDs. He was also the game's top rusher, with 157 yards.

During his inaugural address in 1951, he said, “If we all would decide to give a half-dollar more* work for the dollar we receive, we would all come pretty near getting back the half-dollar we are losing because our dollars are only worth half as much.”
The Council, which is sponsoring Adams, is a non-profit, nonpartisan organization and their series of programs are designed to acquaint Los Angeles citizens with American foreign policy.
Foreign Affairs John A. McCone, president of Joshua Hendy Corporation and president of the Council, in announcing Adams visit said:
“We are grateful for the opportunity to present Governor Adams to a Southern audience. He comes here to make a significant pronouncement on foreign affairs and to give added impetus to our new World Affairs Council.	*
“Governor- Adams is an outstanding public leader and the right hand man of the President. His visit here will signal th e start of the activities of the World Affairs Council.”

DREAMS TO BE A REALITY
University Avenue Closing Awaits Mayor's Signature
A week from • Friday University Avenue may be closed if Mayor Poulson signs the ordinance passed by City Council last Wednesday.
The council voted unanimously to close the street to all traffic. Mayor Poulson can either “pocket veto” it or sign it. It is assumed that he will sign it, but until then, SC can do nothing about closing the street.
Business Manager Elton Phil-

According to Don A. Allen, city councilman for this district, the credit should go to our own Department of Development. They have done most of the pushing
Marks Hall to Be Opened For Dedication On Friday
Public open house and formal dedication ceremonies for the new freshman men’s dormitory, David X. Marks Hall, will be held Friday night on the northeast corner of West 36th Street and Hoover Boulevard.
The dormitory will be ready for occupancy Monday, Dec. 7.
The modern three-story brick and concrete structure will house 52 students chosen on the basis of scholastic achievement.
The semester rate for room and board is $330. Meals will not be served, however, until the spring semester gets under way. The charge from Dec. 7 to Jan. 27 is $40 for room expenses.
Applications still are being accepted from freshmen for the last month of this semester. Students interested in entertaining at the first of the spring term should apply at the Housing Bureau office in 231 SU.
On the first floor of the dormitory is a large lounge with fireplace, dining room, kitchen, foyer, library, office, and head resident’s suite.
The second and third floors are devoted to rooms housing two or three men each. Showers are provided on each floor with a sun-deck on the roof and playroom and laundry in the basement.
the City Hall
The bill has gone through four different council committ e e s . Through the screams and gripes of the Daily Trojan and the ASSC Senate the dream to close the street has nearly become a reality.
Actually, the closure action was fast, according to Allen. Usually it takes from 18 to 24 months for a similar bill to reach the council. The action on this bill began last July. The approval by the Fire Department Committee, the Traffic Committee, the Police Commission, and other city organizations was necessary before it was voted by the council.
Residents Must Agree
An old city statute says that residents whose homes face any street leading into a street to be j closed must agree to the closure. It has taken a long time for the university and city officials to solve this problem.
If Mayor Poulson signs the bill. University Avenue will be blocked at both ends and wherever a street leads into it. The barricade will probably consist of iron posts sunk into the pavement.

“Your children will know more about the world ... by the age of 15 than their grandparents knew in their entire life,” Capt. Allan Hancock said last night in the introductory speech in dedication ceremonies for educational TV station KTHE in Hancock Auditorium.
This will be possible because people will be able to bring the culture, knowledge, and science of the entire world into their living rooms via ultra-high frequency educational TV, said Capt. Hancock, director of the Hancock Foundation which has set up KTHE.
Sixteen national and state TV experts and educators gave the political status.	| same general acclaim to educa-

Ejqjerimental igence service. programs have been televised
every night since Nov. 1.
The TV -experts and educators appeared in panels of four or more members and discussed the future of educational TV, how it can be used in the school, how used to inform adults, and what type of programs should be presented.
Program Telecasts The panels were broken after each discussion by program telecasts' coming from one of the four KTHE studios located in Hancock Foundation building. Of the four programs, the first was a half dozen or more children acting out the fairy tale Cinderella.
The next, a piano concert by SC student June Lusk; an illustrated discussion of modern art; directed by Russell Smith, educational director of the L. A. County Museum; and a teen-age discussion of what programs high school yungsters would like to see on educational TV.
“Educational television looks to be one of the fastest and most
efficient ways to raise th*: culture level,” said Dr. Edgar Fuller, chairman of the Joint Committee for Educational TV in Washington, D.C. and ex^utive secretary for the National Association of Chief State School Officers, Washington, D:C., on the first panel discussing the future of educational TV.
FCC
Irvine Millgate, moderator for all the panels and member of the Council of National Organizations of the Adult Education Association, New York, asked Frieda Hancock,. how the federal government viewed educational TV. Miss Hancock, member of the Federal Communications Commission, said that, when the FCC studied the question of educational TV three years ago, its members agreed unanimously that through this media “great days” would be coming in education.
The commission, therefore, reserved many of the 2000 ultra-
mass / high frequency channels for educational TV.
Dr. Harry Newburn, President of the National Educational TV Program Exchange Center, Ann Arbor; Dr. Roy E. Simpson, California State Superintendent of Public Instruction and Director of Education and Secretary and Executive Officer of the State Board of Education, said that success is in store for educational TV if the content, technical, and artistic aspects of programming are maintained at a high level.
The people must be informed of how they can convert their present 9ets to reoeive UHF-TV,
Simpson said.
Conversion for sets which cannot already receive UHF can be bone by attaching a tuning strip at a cost of between $12 and $25.
Alternately a converter unit may be purchased from $20 to $50 to sit on top of your present set and to which your aerial is attached.
Yuletide Car Pool Starts
Students desiring rides or passengers to various parts of the country during Christmas vacation may sign up in the car pool sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity.
A booth for sign ups will be open tomorrow in front of the SU from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., announced Shelly Jones, chairman of the project. Students may also sign up in the Student Lounge.

It’ll be a “memorable” season record that the 1953 Trojan varsity brought to a close Saturday afternoon against the Mighty Irish from Notre Dame.
The latest addition to the 65-year-old SC football log shows that the Trojans Warriors, 1953 edition,- ended this year’s grid wars with a 6-3-1 season record, a 4-2-1 mark in PCC play, intersectional wins over Minnesota and Indiana, and, finally, Saturday’s humiliating 48-14 loss to Frank Leahy’s Lads.
An interesting season indeed—with the Trojans running the gamut from impressive wins over Stanford and California to Saturday’s nightmarish showing against the Fighting Irish.
And, much to the chagrin of Trojan rooters, it’ll be that “nightmarish showing” that will stand out as the most “memorable” event of the 1953 Trojan football season. Greatest Offensive Display
Putting on one of the greatest offensive displays ever seen in the Coliseum, the Irish left no doubt in 97,952 spectators’ minds that the South Benders are indeed the greatest football in the country today. Or in the universe, for that matter!
This year’s Trojan squad was by no means a great one. But, conversely, it still ranks as one of the top elevens on the Pacific Coast. So when an opposing team is able to pound out seven touchdowns and 48 points against this Trojan team, you begin to sense the true impact of that lopsided score.
Who is to say that that was not the greatest Notre Dame team ever to take to the same field with the Trojans? One only needs to look at the records for an answer. Saturday’s game marked the 25th anniversary of the Trojan-Irish series —a series that dates back to 1926. During this 27-year span, many of the greatest teams for* both the Trojans and the Irish have battled—the great SC teams of the early ’30s and the equally great Notre Dame teams of the Knute Rockne era. And yet, it was this 1953 Irish team that rolled up the greatest point total in series history.
Only One Short of All-Time Record
That 48-point total chalked up by the Irish easily erased their former series high victory margin of 38-7, set in the 1947 renewal. And look at this—those 48 points only fell one short of equalling the all-time Trojan opponents’ scoring standard of 49, set by Michigan in the 1948 Rose Bowl classic.
Therefore, without reservation, that 48-14 pasting could be called second worst Trojan licking in SC football history.
To no one’s surprise, Saturday’s effort, according to players and coaches alike, was the Irish’s best of the year. But, for that matter, so was Troy’s. (No, we aren’t bait for the little men in white yet!)
If we may borrow a line from Sergeant Friday, “Look at the stats (oops, facts), ma’m!” Offensively, the Trojans equalled the Irish first down total with 17. Yardage-wise, the Irish outgained the Trojans only 377 to 255.
Triple Passing Output
The Trojans actually tripled the passing output of the Irish. The Irish, who, admittedly, didn’t have to pass as a result of the consistent success witnessed by their hard-charging backs, completed but three of seven aerials for 41 yards. The Trojans, meanwhile, sparked by the pin-point passes of Jim Contratto, completed 10 of 21 attempts for 143 yards.
What then accounted for Notre Dame’s complete dominance of Saturday’s game? Primarily, a poor defensive showing by the Trojans. Secondarily, four Irish backs who now closely rival the famed “Four Horsemen” of yesteryear as the greatest Notre Dame backfield of all-time.
What of Troy’s poor defensive showing? According to Trojan Head Coach Jess Hill, it was SC’s worst defensive performance of the year. Nuff said!
As for that phenomenal N.D. backfield. one only needs “to look at the facts” again. Paced by All-American Johnny Lattner, the “Four Ponies” pushed across six of Notre Dame’s seven touchdowns.
Personally Accounts for Four TDs
Lattner, who has landed a -first-string halfback berth on every post-season A-A poll to-date, personally accounted for four teedees. Those four touchdowns will enter the record books as a new Trojan opponents record. The former standards, shared by Ohio State’s Joe Whisler, Michigan’s Jack Weisenberger* and UCLA’s Ted Narleski. stood at three.
As if his scoring efforts weren’t enough, Lattner also won the right to share honors with another former Notre Dame great, Nevin McCormick, for the most yardage scored by a Trojan opponent from rushing plays. Lattner averaged a sensational 9.25 yards from 17 carries and 157 yards Saturday to equal McCormick’s 17-year-old record.
Not far behind in the yardage-making column was Irish fullback Neil Worden. Responsible for one N.D. score, Worden also grounded out 134 yards on 15 tries for a 9.95 yards-per-carry average.
N.D.’s Remaining Backs
Notre Dame’s remaining backs, Joe Heap and Ralph Guglielmi, were as effective. Heap, who left the game for keeps late in the first half with a leg injury, turned in the day’s outstanding play. Taking in an SC punt on his own seven, Heap scooted down the sidelines for 93 yards and Notre Dame’s first score.
Guglielmi, in short, was great. His signal-calling and ball handling were superb.
Outsanding individual performances, however, weren’t completely dominated by the Irish. A pair of Trojan backs, Lindon Crow and Leon Sellers, were credited with their finest efforts of the year. Crow was the most effective ball-carrier for the Trojans. His 5.55 average from 50 yards and nine carries was a team high. And his 56-yard punt return late in the second period was topped only by Heap’s touchdown gallop as the game’s outstanding play.
Leon, me inwhile, looked like the Sellers of old as he blasted throu- h the Irish line for at-will yardage. Although appearing briefly, the Trojan senior was able to roll-up a 7.00 average from five carries.
