Known as Eddie Among Friends “In that more circumscribed area where he Is personally known and where he has been making friends at the rate of four a minute for the past twenty years, he’s just ‘Eddie Guest,’ a writer of verse that tugs at the heartstrings or bubbles over with merriment, a maker of epigrams that go to complete a daily column in the morning paper under the heading, 'Breakfast Table Chat —and an after-dinner speaker of graft renown.”

Began As a Reporter
When 13 years of age, Mr. Guest began washing glasses in a drug store in Detroit. Among the patronlzers of the store was a bookkeeper employed hy the Detroit Free PreBs, to whom “Eddie” confided all his ambitions of becoming a reporter.
The next summer, Mr. Guest be came an employe of the Free Press Since that time he has gone through every stage of reportership and has finally come out ^s the editor of "Breakfast Table Chat,” a column of verse, anedotes and epigrams in the Free Press.
Published Books His first book of poems was verses from this column.
The published works of Mr. Guest are “A Heap o’ Llvln’,” “Just Folks, “Over Here.” and ",The Path to Home.
Impressive Speaker Mr. Guest's speaking ability is spoken of in this manner: "A rare treat is in store for those who have never heard Mr. Guest speak. He reads_ his own inimitable verse with an appealing charm that Instantly cap tures any audience. There is a mag netlc quality in hls voice and con tagion in his smile. As his poems range from humor to pathos, his hear ers are apt to be in a gale of laughter one moment and wiping away a furtive tear the next.”
Mr. Guest has written "I’d like to sow the barren spots with all the flowers of earth,
To leave a path where those who come should find but gentle mirth;
And when at last I’m called upon to join the heavenly throng,
I’d like to feel along my way I'd left no sign of wrong.”

Singing the same program which crowded the south parlor of the Trinity Auditorium and drew a crowd of 3000 to the First Methodist Church at Long Beach, the Men's Glee Club, under the auspices of the College of MiYslc, presented the annual Home Concert before a small but enthusiastic audi ence ln their chaper last Wednesday evening.
The popular feature of tlie program, as has been the case at previous concerts, was the presentation of an act of grand opera In which the lead parts are sung by Carl Spring, Paul Spring, and Raymond Cowley. The colorful costuming of the chorus in this act achieving accuracy In such minute details as dimpled knees make up lor tbe slight Inaccuracy iu the reading of ‘the music. The coy and dimpled charm of Cowley us the heroine of this act is unusual in an opera prima donna, and gains him applause only exceeded by that tendered his rendition of his monologue, “Pro and Con," In which he tenderly portrays the charm of rose colored flowers, rose colored wall paper, rose colored tea and rose colored lips.
Max Chamberlain us "Maxwell the Mystic,” was one of the most popular features. Although he has appeared at the school many times, he opened an entirely new bag of tricks, which only increased his popularity.
Harry Hardin, singing “Myself When Young,” by Lehman and Irving Ulmer, playing two numbers by Cad man us cornet solos, were also enthusiastically received The quartet sang “Until the Dawn” as If the words were beginning to be familiar The members of the quurtet are Harold Taft, Howard Coy, Harry Hardin, aud Howard Bridegroom.
The club numbers were sung with an assurance and aplumb lacking in previous concerts. A group of dialect songs and the Soldier's Chorus from the opera "Faust” were particularly well rendered. Professor Horatio Cogswell of the College of Music has effective control of the chorus at all times in directed numbers. Undirected choruses were sung with spirit and vim. The club seemed disappointingly frugal with its encores
The club will complete a busy week with a trip tonight to Santa Ana, where they will be presented in concert at the Mbthodist Church They sang Friday evening at the All Senior Night at the Ebell Club

PREPARING FOR ALL
Greater University spirit ln large gobs will be the keynote of the big All-University banquet to be held March 25 at the Alexandria Hotel, Is the word of Charles Casey, who has been appointed manager of the banquet arrangements by the executive committee.
This affair will provide opportunity for release of all the surplus pep, energy, and college spirit that has been accumulating for the past eons of existence, says Casey. The feed will be classy, both mentally and with egard to the luner man, and the stude who misses out will be the loser, is the claim of the manager.
Early arrangements will be advantageous, and those who travel In double harness should take heed. Those who have not attained that blissful state should make sultuble arrangements to remedy the defect, so as to qualify. However, there Is no legal requirement thut the animals enter two by two, so If single blessedness appeals more, don’t forget to make provision for your presence at the fatul hour on the likewise fatal spot.
Casey announces that definite arrangements as to tickets will be made In the near future, which arrangements will be given due publbity In the Trojan.

MRS. LEIGHTON TALKS
ON SCHOOLS OF ART
| 'We live through Industry, but we grow through Art” was the introduction to a talk on "Tendencies of Modern Art” given by Mrs. Kathryn Leighton, vice-president of tbe Call fornia Art Club, at a meeting of Palette and Brush In room 110 at 4 o'clock Wednesday.
“Individuality counts today, for an artist must create an art of his own In order to be successful,” continued Mrs. Leighton.
"However, truth must be the founda tion of all art. Some ultra-modern schools .the Cubist for example, delight in painting pictures which tbe public does not understand. But I believe that such forms of art will not live through the ages as the work of the old masters has done ”
Mrs. Lelgliton displayed a number of her own paintings and a social hour, when tbe discussion became general, followed the address.

about ready to pass out because of an over dose of dope, but today we saw an article that Is worthy of mention in spite of the old king's flfce and weak knees. Said article appeared lit the “Collegiate World,” a youthful but husky periodical which is being published ln Chicago for tho activities of colleges and universities of the United States.
The subject matter of the article was All-Amrlcan teams, and the writer, whom we strongly suspect to be a certain well-known athlete of the Middle West, has handled the topic the best we have seen yet. He has given every section of the country an equal chance and has picked his team by finding out from the football players of the country whom their most feared rival footballers were. The most notable thing that one notices about the All-America n team picked by this unique method is the fact that lt is not the All-Eastern team that Mr. Walter Camp declares is the all-star aggrega-

GO TO LONG BEACH: ISSUE TELEGRAM
Journalists Will Make Another of Trips to Outlying Cities*
Forgetting that such things as finals or term papers ever existed, and that Saturdays Bhould be devoted to study the Trojan staff, headed by Marc N Goodnow, head of the department of journalism, and reinforced by promls ing freshmen, will travel to Lon* Beach tomorrow, where they will pub llsh the Saturday afternoon edition of the Long Beach Telegram.
Every phase of getting a paper ready for print will be handled by the asplr Ing journalists, from advertising to sports. This publication is the larg est ever attempted by the staff, since even the San Bernardino Index, so successfully published by them last year* did not reach the total of 24 or more pages, which the Telegram will con tain tomorrow.
Advertising Class Gets Ads Those who are handling the adver Using end have visited Long Beach several times this week and also In search of paying "ads” and will go down Friday afternoon, together with others of the staff who dread early morning arising or have some othor reason for getting there early. The remainder will get up during the "wee sma' hours” Saturday morning ln order to be at the office at 7:30, official starting time.
Professor Goodnow will hold down the overseeing job of managing editor, while George Don Ashbaugh, the Trojan's managing editor, will have the position of city editor. Winifred Varner, associate editor of Ihe Trojan, and Dorothy Cole and Lucy Landun, Trojan news editors, will act as his assistants. Frank Price, also Trojan news editor, will be telegraph editor.
The Trojan’s usual society and sport editors, since they know all about It, will hold down the same positions on the Telegram Gladys Crail and Sarah Taft Somers will find out what the 400" did and will do, while Carl Far-man and Morgan Cox will delight the hearts of the sport-loving
The "hard-working" advertising staff (they say they are) include Willard Cooke, Charles Potter und Louise Kldson.
Freshmen Reporters Go
The following array of reportorlal talent will scour the city of Long Beach In search for that elusive quantity—news. If they miss any It will probably be because it didn't happen, for they are determined to let no obstacle stand In the way of their rdent search. The list of reporters Includes: L.

tion. In fact, there are Just three men on the flrst All-American sqund who are from the East coast.
Look at the makeup of the flrst All-American team of Mr. Camp's latest rival. In the flrst place, who do we find as the end of all ends, the super nnd supreme wlngman of all of the end players of these great United States? None other than one "Brick” Mueller of the University and state of California. And glancing farther down the list, who do wo see at one of the guard positions? Another Californian, Cortls Majors! Now if that isn't enough to muke some of these Easterners swallow their little silk hankies, we’d like to know what the heck. Two California men on an All-American team! Friends, can you Imagine a guy who doesn't know any better than to pick players who are the best rather than pick ’em Just because they came from Yale, Princeton, or Jawn Ahvuhd?
And who do you suppose has his fair name put on the second All-American at tackle? Our own little "Swede" EvanB! "Dink” Templeton at fullback Is tho only other Pacific Coast man on this eleven. In giving honorable mention to the raoBt prominent Pacific Coast players, we see the names of four TT. S. C. men on the writer’s list. The men are Axe, ut guard; Evans, at tackle; Dean, at nalfback, and Leadingham, at quarter.
The writer’s method of picking players of All-American and all-star calibre has brought oui many surprising things. By having the players’ opponents rather than their coach or press agent pick them as strong men, he has brought to light many players of whom wo have not heard much, while others who have been cracked up by their coach and by the press failed even to receive mention.
We will not say that his method of picking the mythical team is the best, but we will give him credit for giving the West a fair deal and for leaving the choice of who was the best to the players. It Is certainly a pleasant sensation to find a picker of All-American teams who realizes that the Louisiana Territory Is now populated und expanded to the Pacific Ocean and that its inhabitants do not all pack guns und cut plug, ulthough a few still chew nails.
