j Renison-Geissinger Team Is Star of the Evening—P. K. Fraternity Is Sure Hit—Cliff Henderson Shows Ability as Drummer
"Kill Kare Kouple” and “Overtones” Take Next Honors—Clyde Deuel MB in Feminine Garb Gives Acrobatic Performance
“Very good in spots,” is the com-Iment heard around tlie campus on the. vaudeville show staged Wednesday night by the senior class in U. S. C.
I chapel.
The high lights on the program j were easily the cast put on by the Renison-Geissinger company, the | "Kill Kare Kouple,’’ and "Overtones” enacted by Margaret Olds, Barbara iGuerney, Faye Hughes and Helenita ] Lieberg.
The stunt “put on” by Wayland |Geissinger and Aileen Renison, the "P. K. Fraternity,” showed only one I sleepy place, that between the “cocktails” and the next song, and W'as much appreciated for its cleverness | and originality.
The act of “Vol” Perkins and Don I Cameron as the “Kill Kare Kouple” was especially noteworthy, because of its spontaneity and professional finish. | One prominent student remarked that the playette, “Overtones,” alone was worth the price of admission. Both the gripping emotionalism and the amusing side of the situation were [cleverly brought out by the actresses.
Clyde Deuel created much aston-[ ishment by appearing as a petite young lady. In spite of his simper, he proved bis acrobatic ability. His partner in the act, Ralph Haney, was | unquestionably good.
Music was furnished between the acts by the “U. S. C. Symphony Or-| chestra,” of which Clifford Henderson was the chief manipulator.

J O. C. CLASS TO ENTERTAIN “WE BOYS” THIS EVENING
A soeial will be given by the J. O. nas of the University church this
i'u-ning to the members of the "We Bf*ys’ class, in Aristo hall, at 7 30 Miss Ruth Burnight, who has t large of the affair, says that a very Ut'ly program has been arranged !)y the J. O. C. class.
The poor, much criticized, abused and maligned “Trojan” has staged a come-back. No more will professors “crab” about the worthlessness of the sheet, and no more will students slander the student organ. At least, such is the stated opinion of certain students who attended yesterday’s sociology class.
Roscoe Frasher, who is teaching the class in the absence of Professor Bogardus, told the members of the class to write an account of the address delivered last Tuesday afternoon by Dr. Washington Gladden, and to sum up the main points which the speaker had made in his talk.
In vain the embryo sociologists racked their brains, and in vain they chewed their pencils and gazed ceilingward. The desired information simply wouldn’t come. They had been too sleepy during the address, had been too stupid to appreciate the intellectual power of the aged minister, or else hadn’t been there.
Such was the critical situation until about the middle of the period, when some bright desperate genius pulled out of his pocket a copy of yesterday’s Trojan, and with a happy smile began to peruse the contents of the second column of the last page.
Others, perceiving the joy on the face of tbe genius, proceeded to follow suit, and before long everybody was smiling, and the poor slander-bespattered “Trojan” had come into its own. Students were actually reading it. It was being blessed as an oasis in a desert land, as manna in the wilderness.
It is believed by members of the "Trojan” staff, not at all with any feeling of vanity, however, that Frasher will give out an unusually large number of "A-plusses” on the papers handed in by the members of the sociology class.
Thc “Trojan” today is feeling fine.

Three U. S. C. Students Make Tour of Arizona. Have Adventures
Tanned and sun-burned, and wearing huge mustachios, three U. S. C. students, Carl Speer, footballist and former president of the sophomore class; Joe Brown, tennis shark and junior in engineering, and "Pete”
1 senor, footballist and shot-putter, yesterday afternoon, in a big, mud-be-splattered racing car, rolled into Los Angeles after having made a three months’ tour of Arizona.
The three left U. S. C. right after the close of the football season last fall, and went to Arizona with the half-formed intention of taking out some homesteads and with tbe full intention of having some adventures. They didn’t get the land, but they did have the adventures.
The boys struck a snow storm early in their travels and after being half-frozen found their way into a little village far from a railroad where they were successfully thawed out. On two other occasions they were marooned on the desert without gasoline and barely got away with their lives.
Brown tells an interesting story of a tramp whom they picked up during their wanderings and who for the life of them they couldn’t shake. They tried in vain to get rid of their interesting, but undesirable acquaintance. The hobo refused to be “got rid of.”
Finally, in a little village about a hundred miles from Phoenix, Brown gave Weary Willie a dollar and told | him to get some groceries. While Willie went after the groceries the three boys piled into their racer and made off toward Phoenix. In great jubilation they celebrated the absence of their companion.
The next morning, as the boys were eating in a Phoenix restaurant, Brown felt a hearty slap on his shoulder and a cheerful “Hello.” He turned around. There was the tramp.
The boys traveled all over Arizona. Before coming back Isenor sold a plot of ground upon which he had “squatted" for a clear profit of $125.

RAEIV FOR TM MEET 10 BE HEED IN
“Tossie” Wright Will Address Meeting; Sphinx and Snakes Initiate; Football Sweaters to Be Given Out During Meeting
U. S. C. Presents Strong Track Aggregation; Will Send in Frosh; Close Relay Race Expected as Part of Big Meet
Promptly at 11:40 o’clock this morning in the University chapel, Manfred Evans, president of the student body will fire the opening gun of what promises to be the biggest rally since the memorable “pep-generator” for the 1 lianksgiving footabll game with tbe Oregon Aggies.
1C vans has secured Councilman Foster Wright, known to U. S. C. students as "Tossie,” to give the main address of the morning. This announcement aloi:e should be enough to draw out a record-breaking crowd, according to “Boss” Evans. “Tossie” is an alumnus of U. S. C., and although he has been cjut of school for a Rood many years, he still retains the old Trojan fighting spirit, and when it conies to showing pep, he can put a lot of undergraduates to shame.
At the night rally previous to the Thanksgiving game, “Tossie” gave one of the brightest, snappiest talks heard on the local campus in a good many years.
This morning’s rally will be primarily lor the purpose of giving the students an idea of the importance of tomorrow’s track meet with the California Bears. However, track will not be the only line of student endeavor to be honored, for at the same time the members of last year’s football varsity will be presented with their long overdue sweaters, and a number of cups will be presented to those debaters who have been victorious in the various contests of the year.
The public initiation of the pledges to Sphinx and Snakes, the junior society, will also be a big feature of the program.
Coach Dean Cromwell will be on hand to present the football heroes with their sweaters. Ten men will receive these awards and the other members of the varsity, those who have won sweaters iu previous years, will be given certificates as an acknowledgement of their work during the past season.
The ten “sweater men” are Ben Weiss, Charley Johnson, Carl Speer, "Red" Burkett, “Sleepy" Stuart, Sammy Blake, Harold Huyck, Johnny Si»ler, Winfred Wilson and Kay Clark.
Judge William Bowen, who has presented the University debaters with numerous trophies, will be on hand to present this year’s debating leaders with their prizes.
Sphinx and Snakes will initiate twelve men this morning. The initiates will include men from several colleges of the University. Leo Freund, Emile Hartford, George
