Strong Defense Holds the Trojan Score Low, While Mercury | Stars Stage a Comeback
By Carl Farman
Battling against a team with a defense that was almost impenetrable after the first ten minutes ot play, the Trojan casaba squad was defeated by the L. A. A. C. qulntent last Friday night by the score of 28 to 17. Early In the match, Henderson’s men Rtarted off like a million bones by grabbing a six-point lead, but the work of Slaughter and Tyrell, the Mercury guards, took a decided brace about the middle of the first half, and after that it was just as easy to shoot a basket into the goal they were guarding as it would be for a one-legged man to win a hurdle race, or for the Eastern grid experts to figure out why the West plays superior football. After the defense began to function properly it made the rock of Oibraltar look like jn old man with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.
Trojan Forwards Strong Against this proposition, the Trojan had a classy pair of forwards in Boeck ( and Kuhns, and the expert shooting of these, particularly Boeck, was the only thing which made the result at all doubtful. As it was, the game was anybody’s match up to the last five minutes, when the L. A. A. C. lead became decisive. Hinrichs, at center, played a good game, though he was opposite fred Olney, the strongest man on the Mercury squd, and the individual ability of Calland, Graham and Axe, the Trojan guards, was of a good calibre.
When it came to mixing up opposing plays and causing would-be goals to shoot wildly off to one side, the work of these three Trojans was high ly efficient. They showed the old Trojan flght In basket ball, and if they had not been often tricked out of the middle of the floor by the shifty offensive play of the Mercuries, their work would have been practically 100 per cent O. K.
Mercury Shooting Inferior In Olney, Wahyn and Laswell, the L. A A. C. had an experienced trio of forwards, but their shooting on Friday night did not come up to the brand displayed by the Trojan. Breaking through the S. C. defense far oftener than their own danger zone was penetrated, they were unable to obtain a decisive lead until towards the end of the match, and even then the brilliant shooting of the Trojans menaced their security.
Altogether the match was closely and bitterly contested, and full of fast play throughout, and the large crowd of spectators got more than their money’s worth. The probability of one or more return games with the club will doubtless draw another full house to witness the game.
The lineup follows. For S. C., Boeck scorced 13 points, Kuhns three and Hinrichs one,

Funeral services for Harvey Wendt, famous student of former days, and one of the first U. S. C. men to give his life while serving his country, will be held at the Soldiers’ Home, in Saw-telle, this afternoon, at three o’clock.
Harvey Wendt will be remembered by many students a3 a leader in the class of ’18. He was a member of Delta Beta Tau and Delta Sigma Kho fraternities, and Skull and Dagger honorary society. He waB also well known as a debater, being a member of the varsity team. He was a winner of the Bowen cup.
He was one of the first men to answer the country’s call for volunteers, enlisting in the Medical corps. After a short period of training he was sent to the front. Wendt was one of the flrst victims of the influenza epidemic that swept the trenches with such disastrous results, shortly after America's entry into the war. First interment was made in the army grounds of France.
Of late popular sentiment has been in favor of giving the boys their final resting place in the native country for whom they gave their lives. Wendt is one of the first Los Angeles boys to be brought back from France in connection with the movement.
The second interment will be made In the soldiers’ burying ground at Saw-telle.

SOPHS MEET TODAY IN
CHAPEL ANNEX AT 12:30
What is the answer of U. S. C. to the appeal of the Near East Belief for Armenia? Armenia—that little republic in Transcaucasia of Southern Russian that has stood by its principles, has stood the buffer between Eastern and Western civilization, for centuries. What will be our answer to this struggling little republic, the ally in the great world war that suffered the greatest loss of life, that held the borders of their land against the Turk under conditions that were impossible to Imagine; held for seven long months with ammunition for less than one out of seven guns and only one gun to every seven men. Held until General Allenby defeated the Turk in Mesopotamia and put him from the war.
If the courage and determination of this little band of shoeless, ill fed soldiers under General Antanig, which was holding against this Turkish front, had given way, a German submarine base would have been opened at Baku, the great oil center of the Near East, and one hates to think what the outcome of the war in this region would have been. Certainly we have Armenia to thank for the saving of thuosands of American lives.
Once again Armenia has been holding that line against the Turkish nationalist forceB. Again the country has been ravished. The population has again been turned into refugees, wandering
through snow covered roads of Ar meaia, shoeless, foodless, waiting to return to their devastated homes. The crops which they labored bo hard to produce, and which would have tided the land through the winter without assistance are again destroyed, and Armenia Is once more dependent on the outside world for food and cloth Ing. Are we, the students of U. S. C., going to let her pass unaided in this hour of great need?
The Near East is taking care of in Armenia, besides the normal popula tion over 500,000 refugees from Tur klsh-Armenla who have escaped the massacres and persecutions, and over
25.000	orphans in orphangcB. Through out the Near EaBt the Near EaBt Be lief is aiding 116,000 orphans, over
56.000	of whom are In orphanages, the others receive one meal daily at the soup kitchens. This represents 24 miles of tables—how many places (only $5.00 per month) is U. S. C going to provide at thiB table?
The Turkish nationalists have stated bb their policy not to Interfere with the work of the Near East Relief, bo that orphanages, hospitals und refugee camps have remained intact, and the Near East Relief is abla to continue with its assistance to the Armenians.
Armenia realizes If it were not for American food and supplies she would not be In existence. She does not ask assistance Indefinitely only until able to help herself. Will we, can we re fuse this help?
It is up to the students of U. 8. C. Friday Is Near East day. Be sure aud hear Dr. .Wirt, who will give a thrilling and gripping Btory. Then what will be U. S. C.’s answer? Contrlbu tions and pledges wil) be received be fore Friday In Y. W. and Y. M. C. A offices.
