Hat!ess ‘ Frosh’ Not Tolerated; Excuses Void
After high noon Wednesday, when a new supply of freshmen caps will be put on sale, 110 more excuses will be accepted from those men of the freshman class who are seen on the campus not wearing their class insignia.
Two students had their caps eaten by rats, other lost theirs, and some have found that their first caps have become too small —or that their heads have become too big—after three months of university training. The traditions committee arose to the occasion and ordered a dozen or two additional caps.

PREPS’ START THE SEASON WITH BASKETBALL VICTORY
OF FROSH CLASH TO GO TOWARD STATUE
Trojans Will Be Pitted Against Trojans for Benefit of Trojan Statue and Band Funds—Large Crowd Is Expected and Thrills Promised
Special Group of University Men to Occupy Seats Together in Reserved Section
Trojan tanbark warriors, consisting of the varsity and the husky “frosh.” will clash in truly Trojan style when they meet on the gridiron this afternoon on Bovard field at 3:45 o’clock. The proceeds of the game will be given over to the Trojan statue and band funds. An admittance of ten cents will be charged.
Trojan blood will be literally boiling over, for not only will the two elevens be spurred 011 by the high pitch of keen competition, but each team will be inspired by the fact that they will be playing before a large crowd and for the welfare of the Trojan statue, their common ideal in symbolism.
While Trojan will be seen pitted against Trojan, opportunity will be given Trojans to do work for real Trojan spirit, and for the student body to turn out well.
Tickets may l>e obtained at the Treasurer's office and the Law School office. The following will also sell tickets: Freshmen—Messrs. Oyler, Perkins and Miss Thielcke; sophomores—Messrs. Jones, George and Haight; juniors—Shaw; seniors—Hal Hughes; post-graduate—Burr.

Trojan Football Team to Meet Occidental Tigers Saturday—Fast Game Predicted
The Occidental football team added another victory to its laurels by defeating Pomona college last Saturday. So far this season the* Occidental Tigers have not met with a single defeat. and in defeating Pomona by a score of 28 to 0 they have shown that they are going as good as ever.
Next Saturday U. S. C. will meet Pomona in a similar battle. On paper the two teams are equal. The Occi-dental-Pomona game ended with two touchdowns for each team. The California U. S. C. game finished with California on the long end of a 28-to-0 score. The same score was made by Occidental over Pomona.
The main difference between the Pomona and U. S. C. teams is that
“PAT” MILLIKAN TO EXPLAIN MOVEMENT THIS MORNING
Law and Dental Have Already Completed Arrangements—Liberal Arts Men to Organize
Concentrated, scientific, organized rooting, psychologically timed and placed, such as has never been heard before at any southern gridiron struggle. is being planned by enthusiastic students of all the colleges for the game with the Oregon “Aggies” on Thanksgiving day. Law and Dental have already organized their special leather-lunged delegations, and Liberal Arts will follow suit in a big mass meeting this morning at 9:50 in the chapel.
Charles E. “Pat” Millikan, Dean Porter’s secretary and Judge of the Practice Court at the College of Law, who is the originator of the big idea, will be on hand this morning to explain the movement and get it under way. “Pat” was pleased with the rooting at the California game. He saw U. S. C. spirit at its best, but he looked further than that group of howling bleacherites and saw great possibilities for student demonstration in the future.
For the Oregon game, a special group of university men, thirty or forty from Law, a like number from Dental, and the cream of Liberal Arts’ howlers, will occupy seats together— probably across the field from the regular U. S. C. section—and will “get behind” the Trojans who are fighting 011 the field, and urge them on to victory as they have never been urged before.
All the details and special features of “Pat's” plans will be arranged during the regular Y. M. C. A. period today. Student-body President Manfred R. Evans and Y. M. President Bernhard Oertley have been working hard to get a large crowd of men in the chapel.
