TROJj LEAVE NEXT FI 10 MEET ARIZONIANS
Flayers Will Travel in Special Car Over Santa Fe and Will Return Sunday Morning From the Final Game of 1916 Season
It Is Hoped that Malette’s Injured Knee and Blake’s Bad Hand Will Be Healed Sufficiently to Let Them into the Game
Twenty-one Trojan football warriors will leave for Phoenix next Friday afternoon, where on the following day they will meet the University of Arizona in the final game of the 1916 season. The players will travel in a special car over the Santa Fe, and will arrive back home in Los Angeles on Sunday morning over the same route. Coach Cromwell yesterday gave the names of the following players as those who would probably make the trip: Sam Blake, “Red” Burkett. Ray Clark, Ralph Chick, “Scow” Curry, “Chick” Fox, Fred Kelly, Harold Huyck, Charley Johnson, Capt. Herb Jones, “Rabbit” Malette, “Ted” Marks, Phil Murray, Vivian Rapp, Art Shepard. John Sigler, Eddie Simpson, “Sleepy” Stuart, Carl Speer, Ben Weiss, “Win” Wilson.
It is not known at present w'hether or not Malette’s injured knee will be well enough to permit him to get into the game, but he will accompany the team. Sammy Blake, the scrappy little lawyer who gave a wonderful exhibition of end playing against the Or egon Aggies, will be taken along i" the hope that his injured hand will have recovered sufficiently to permit him to start the game.
Arizona is reported to have a very strong team this year, and are hoping to defeat the Southern California hoys. The Trojans, however, are playing better now than at any other time during the season, and figure to end up their schedule with a victory.

Healy. president of Maclay College of Theology, in this important post.
Bishop Leonard is one of the youngest and most active bishops in the church. He was elected to his post at the last annual conference of the church, and assigned to San Francisco, where he will continue to reside. However, he will keep in close touch with the university and will make frequent trips to Los Angeles for that purpose.
“I feel that we should be open to very hearty congratulation that Bishop Leonard has accepted this post.” said Dr. Bovard last night. “He is

Three U. S. C. men, Murray, Malette, and Fox, were given responsible places on the All Southern California football team picked by Mowatt M. Mitchell, the noted sport critic of this city. Four other Trojans mentioned highly were Huyck, Blake, Simpson and Curry.

Professor Kienle may he seen in room 14 Tuesdays and Ihur l,iyS from 11:40 until 12:30, or 111 room 121, Normal Hill Center, at other times.
Dr. E. B. Crawford of the Garfield Park church in Chicago, who is conducting the special services at the University Methodist church, spoke on “Our Prayer Life” at the Y. W. C. A. meeting yesterday morning.
“This is a new age,” he said, “in which the scientific spirit as applied to the experiences of life is tested. Prayer has as scientific a basis as any fact about which we pray. Prayer, rather than preaching, fixes our religious atmosphere. It doubles the efficiency of the individual.”
Dr. T. C. Iliff, well-known retired minister and evangelist, and Dr. W. Iv Tilroe of the University Methodist church were also present at the meeting. Edward J. Ruenitz, director of the choir at the University church, sang a solo.
the forward pass.
Malette easily gets the halfback position because of his wonderful brok-en-field running, passing, ability to drop-kick and punt, and all-around football prowess.
Fox gets the tackle position because of his steadiness throughout the year at making holes and stopping them up, followingjthe ball, and using his head —something that most tackles neglect.
Huyck and Curry both demonstrated their value to the team in the two games they played. Both were whirlwinds on the defense. Huyck showed his ability as a field general, and Curry’s experience was valuable in the Oregon game. Both would probably have made the all-star aggregation had they played in more of the games. Blake was handed a berth on the second team for his wonderful work in the Oregon game. Simpson was rated as a good defensive end. but not the equal of Blake on the offense.
PREPS EXHIBIT ART
TODAY IN ROOM 111
Embryo Thespians of the junior play cast had a taste of unglamoured drudgery yesterday in rehearsal.
All day and night they cavorted about the Gamut club stage, quibbling and gossiping, flirting and love-making with the fervor of the “real stuff.” It is intimated they even hesitated when dismissed for meals. If it had not been in horror of presenting to the audience a hungry-looking cast tomorrow evening, Miss Cloyde Dalzell would not have had the heart to insist upon the enthusiastic actors “coming out of it” to perform such an unromantic act as eating.
It is due to this unstinted injection of the characters’ own personalities into the situation that the juniors are competent to make their play a success.
Much effort has been expended in costuming the players to correspond with the setting, which is just subsequent to the Revolution. “Historically perfect,” is the comment made by those in charge of the stage arrangements. Of especial interest are the “Empire” costumes, which have been worked out with much care as to details.
The cast is made up from the entire junior student body of the university. Tickets can be secured at the office in the College of Law.
