The Hughes Club is organized at | last. With a slogan of “Votes for
I	Hughes,” the first meeting was held in Room 14 Friday and was attended by fifty supporters of the Republican candidate.
The organization in this university is under the National Collegiate Hughes League, of which J. C. Mac-Farland, a former Stanford man, is coast representative. Warren Bovard was recently appointed by Mr. Mac-Farland to act on the executive committee of the Coast organization.
The university Hughes club was organized w’ith plenty of “pep,” but there wasn’t very much noise, possibly because the first meeting was largely business-like. The executive committee, which will be chosen later, will formulate plans for the meetings of the Hughes club. J. Paul Elliott, who was elected temporary chairman, is at present working out some definite plans for the next meeting which will be held in chapel at 9:50 on Thursday. At that time a permanent organization will be perfected and the actual work of the club will begin. The club intends to ask political speakers to address the “Votes for Hughes” club from time to time.
The movement in the university is led by many faculty members and prominent students. Among them is President Bovard, Prof. F. E. Owen, Prof. B. F. Stelter, Warren Bovard, graduate manager of athletics; Walter Watson, editor El Rodeo. 1916; “Johnny” Ware, manager El Rodeo, 1917, J. I*. Elliott, director of band and orchestra; Mary Bowen, member of the executive committee. Helen Wallace, vice-president of the junior class; Fred Kelly, Olympic champion; Fred Teschke, football coach, and Clifford Henderson, captain of the basketball team.
It is expected that the meeting of the Hughes club on Thursday will be filled with noise and enthusiasm.
At the Sign of the Arrow Y. W. Girls Hearken
A girl of the Y. W. straightened her eyebrow with one hand and smoothed her skirt with the other as she wrinkled her brow over the problem within the main entrance of the university.
“If Daniel Boone ever tried to blaze a trail through a petrified forest,” she said, ‘I’ll bet he had a hard time of it.”
The girl tapped the petrified tree beside the door with her pencil and listened careully to the rings. She penciled her brow and ran her band across her note book. She was perplexed, for she was deciding on the best way to blaze a trial through the halls so that the guests to the Y. W. C. A. banquet tonight will be able to locate, without knowing the number of the room in which the entertainment is to be given.
After due deliberation, it was decided to chalk arrows in the halls leading to the room in which the party is to be held. All guests will be expected to hearken to the watchword: “Follow the arrows.”
The evening’s entertainment will include a dinner and a play. The play will be presented by Y. W. C. A. girls. The total expense for each person will be fifteen cents.

NEITHER SIDE SHOWS MUCH TEAM WORK IN EARLY GAME

THE HILL-TOPPERS
Wright Hamilton and Dan McMillan Are the Star Players of the Gridiron Struggle
Next Freshman Game Will Be at San Diego a Week From Friday
If the freshmen had any football in them when they played the Los Angeles high school team last Friday they still have it, because certainly none came out. The freshman team is at present suffering from a bad case of the “swell-head.” They admit it themselves.
Hamilton and McMillan were the stars of the game. They were in on every play, fighting as “Trojans” ought to fight.
The back field repeatedly fumbled the ball. The man carrying the bull seemed unable to follow his interfer-(Continued on Page 4>
Coach Dean Cromwell’s men de-j feated the Santa Fe Athletic Club squad by a score of 14 to 0, Saturday j afternoon, at San Bernardino.
Coach "Sid” Neighbor’s bunch de-| pended upon their surplus of beef to bring them a glorious victory over the Trojan squad, but before the game had progressed very far the “railroaders” discovered that science was superior to strength.
The Trojan squad played rings \ around the San Bernardino men, and j kept the ball dangerously close to the | opponents’ goal, but on account of the lack of team work on the part of the varsity, they were unable to carry the ball over more than twice.
Spectators all thought that the final score should have been more like 30 to 0 than 14 to 0.
The game was full of individual sensational plays, but neither team worked as a unit.
At the end of the first quarter the Trojans had the ball within five yards of the opponents’ goal, when the whistle blew. On the first down of the second quarter, Huyck threw a pretty forward pass over the goal, which was neatly grabbed by Murray, Huyck converted and the score board read 7 to 0.
Before the whistle had blown for the end of the third quarter, the varsity had carried the ball within ten yards of the “railroaders’ ’ goal, when Clark made a pretty little line buck and crossed the goal for the second touchdown. Huyck again converted.
“Phil” Murray, Huyck and Clark played the star game for the varsity, while the “Neighbor boys," played the whole game for the athletic team.
The I'. S. C. team made the trip to San Bernardino in seven eight-cylinder Oldsmobile cars. After the game they were given a big dinner by the Athletic Club boys. They then journeyed to Riverside and visited the county fair, where quite a few hard earned nickles were jarred loose from sticky fingers by the slick side show men.
