IN SONGS AND YELLS
"Tro—jan! Tro—jan!” rumbled through the halls with even more force than the well-known “one-fifteen pipe-organ recitals.”
"Red” Allen, the newly-appointed varsity yell leader—succeeding Homer Watson—took his place on center stage. 1'he loud applause which greeted him was soon hushed by his own powerful voice, proving his ability to be heard; but furthermore, when he began to lead the yells, he showed the importance of his appearance—not merely his “straw-berry blond” hair, but the expression of his face, his arms, in fact his whole self which entered in collaboration with his voice.
In response to his call, a multitude (>t voices burst forth with the enthusiasm as great as would be expected at an "extra-line” football game.
Mthough "Red” is new at his job, tlie cooperation of his twin, “Red” 'alias, the newly appointed song '•■ader, will assist him in soon becom-uiK efficient.
Seniors Tell “Frosh'’ How it Must be Done
“What is a salute?” the freshmen are asking. “How do you do it?”
“Well, it’s like this,” says Stanley Hicks, sticking his right arm up perpendicularly and giving it a grandiloquent wave.
“No, it’s not. Here’s the way you do it,” boasts “Jack” Wendt. And with an “oh-you-old-senior” attitude, “Jack” raised his palm over his eyebrows and looked out of his right eye at the ignorant “frosh” who asked him.
Now, Webster tells us that a salute is “a mark of deference paid to superiors by their subordinates, made with the hand, rifle or sword, in a manner prescribed by regulations and varying according to circumstances.”
“Bill” Dallas, a senior who has just returned from the Mexican front as a real corporal, says that this is a salute: “When the subordinate meets his sunerior, he draws his heels together and raises his right arm so that his fingers touch the exact center of his hat brim. He does this in such a manner that his arm from shoulder to elbow is level, while his forearm form an angle of forty-five degrees with his upper arm.
“And above all things,” cautioned Dallas, “don’t take all day to do it. Bring your arm right up—so, and right down again, just like this. The whole operation ought to take just half a second.”
HIGHLY CELEBRATED PIGSKIN VARSITY TO TAKE ON INDIANS
Sherman Braves Will Buck Trojan Varsity at New Fiesta Park Grounds Saturday. Indians Are Reported Very Heavy. Much Old Material in Back Field Is Reported by Coach Hadley of Braves. Trojan Team Not Yet Definitely Chosen. Tickets for Sale at University Book Store.
Football will start in earnest next Saturday afternoon at Fiesta Park. Coach Dean Cromwell’s eleven will clash with the wiry Sherman Indians from Riverside.
The Sherman team has been eagerly learning the art of the game under the careful guidance of Coach H. C. Hadley, formerly of Colgate University, New York. Coach Hadley now thinks his tan-bark warriors are ready to scalp any bunch of pigskin players in the south, while Cromwell is almost certain that his squad will have no trouble at all in showing the Indians the real art of football.
Although the heavy rains Saturday and Sunday put a stop to football practice on Bovard field for a day, Cromwell thinks that in the remaining four days he can get his men together and pick out the players who will represent the Trojan school next Saturday. This week will be devoted to signal-practice and formation of new plays.
All the southern schools are anxiously awaiting the outcome of this clash so that they can ascertain the strength of the Trojan varsity.
Tickets for the game can be secured at the university bookstore. Everyone is urged to be present at this game.
FRED KELLY TO RETURN TO SOUTHERN CITY FRIDAY
Football Players Are Looking Forward to Return of King of Trojan Athletes, Who Has Been Performing in Eastern Track Meets.
TEACHERS MIFFED AT BACK-DOOR CALLERS SANS MUFFLERS
A muffler campaign is on. It starts today. No, not a muffler campaign for protection from cold, but to put a “muffler” on the promiscuous and unnecessary noise that eminates from every quarter of the campus. Hucksters drive their wagons up and down the sidewalks and allow their gasoline steeds to snort outside the cafeteria. Jefferson street school children use the university sidewalks as a rol-ler-skating rink. Alvin Wendt says "The actions of these noisemakers are disrespectful and should be stopped.” William Dallas, president of the senior class, is of the same opinion. Student Body President Manfred Evans thinks that an appeal should be made to the superintendent of buildings and grounds. Anyhow, the important thing is to eliminate noise, and unsightliness.
The nuisance is particularly noticeable in the civil engineering, psychology, and English departments.
Definite word has been received by Warren Bovard that Fred Kelly, king of Trojan athletes, will return to this city by Friday, Oct. 6. Kelly has been spending the summer in the far East, performing in numerous track meets in company with other Southern California stars. Needless to say, he has added a great many trophies to his already large collection.
Fred will register at the College of Liberal Arts immediately upon his return. He is planning to take a course in assaying, in which he has recently become greatly interested.
Although Kelly can no longer claim the title of King of Hurdlers, he is still the wonderful all-around athlete that he has always been, and it is safe to say that there is no one in this section of the country who can compare with the Trojan speedster.
Football players are eagerly looking forward to Fritz’s return, for accord-I ing to Capt. Herb Jones, the speed of the backfield will be greatly increased by his presence.
“TROJAN” ELECTED TO
YEARLINGS WATER MAURER ON FIELD
T
George Maurer, freshman, and former all-star Rugl.y full-back at Manual Arts, was given an opportunity to match his athletic powers against a fire hose, today at 12:30 on Bovard field.
Maurer, with others of his class, was apprehended for not procuring and wearing the “Frosh” cap. The others did not appear, and could not be discovered when the time came for their ducking. The names of the other unfortunates are:
Frank W. Long, Nathan Magarian, Glen I. Nieler, A. F. Van Vranken, E
G.	Nisbet and C. E. Joslin.
'I'his little reception on Bovard field was distinctly a "frosh” party, the freshmen having pledged themselves to deal with all tradition-breakers of their class this year
The ducking was done under the supervision of William W. Hamilton, chairman of the “Frosh Vigilance Committee.”
As the first college paper in the world to be admitted to membership in the American press association, the Southern California Trojan is today enjoying an unique distinction.
Yesterday a telegram was received by Professor B. O. Bliven, head of the department of Journalism, from the American Press Association headquarters in New York, stating that the Trojan has been admitted to membership in the association ,and that henceforth the U. S. C. paper, along with some four thousand other American dailies will enjoy the as-sociation news and advertising privileges. The “Trojan” is the only university paper in the country that has been allowed membership in the association.
Not only does membership in the press association, confer considerable on the “'I'rojan,” but it will prove of considerable financial benefit to the "Trojan” as well. It was over this phase (jf the matter that "Abie” Morse, Trojan manager, made merry all yesterday afternoon.
The American press association is a co-operative enterprise and all members are guaranteed a certain amount of advertising, it is this advertising with which "A. B.” expects to lighten his cares during the coming days.
