TROJANS TO STAGE BIG THANKSGIVING BEAR HUNT
MARINE STARS TOO MUCH FOR S.C. SCRAPPERS
U. S. C. Players Put Up Wonderful Fight Against Marines Local Team Unable to Overcome Tremendous Odds in Weight
Trojan fight and desperate determination were unable to halt the world-famous Mare Island Marines Saturday, and as a result, U. S. C. was handed a
34	to 0 trimming by Johnny Becketts' highly educated troupe of steam rollers. Coach Cromwell’s men were outweighed approximately three and a quarter tons per man, and deserve a world of credit for the great battle they put up.
The men who opposed Beckett’s lumberjacks on Saturday can be thankful that they are still on the earth rather than under it. The upstate huskies have an unpleasant way of crushing anything that gets in front of them. Early in the season they did such a good job on Captain Dan Foster of Berkeley that Dan hasn’t been seen in active service since.
Frankie Malette got a nasty cut over his left eye, and Chesnut was knocked cold, hut there were no broken bones among the Southerners. Clarence Butterfield was knocked groggy for a few moments after a Marine had sat on his head with considerable vehemence. He was alright in a few niinutees, however, and stuck with the fight. Left halfback Sanderson of the invaders was taken from the game after the Trojans had knocked a couplo of his ribs out of their ordinary resting place.
Mr. Malette’s famous son Frank opened the game by kicking the pork-hide over the enemy’s goal line. Play started on the 20-yard mark andafter making first downs twice the Marines were forced to punt. Two bucks and a five-yard penalty gave S. C. first down, •Jut in the next scrimmage Hunter tumbled the ball and it went to the 'first-to-ftght”-ers in mid-field.
MARINES 7, S. C. 0
Brown, Marine quarterback, shot a beautiful forward pass to “Brick” Mitchell and the ball was put on S. C.’s seven yard chalk mark. Three smashing line bucks finally permitted Hollis

EIGHT FRESHMEN VISIT THE JAIL
Eight freshmen of Liebral Arts spent a couple of hours in the tank last night as a result of their attempts to make tonight’s big blaze a success. The boys had torn down an old fence on University avenue and were about to make off with it when a bunch of cops, led by Officers Ousley and Littel, came from behind a street car with sawed-off shotguns and halted proceedings.
The babes were taken to the lock-up and held until Prexy came and put up bail for their release. W. T. Wilson, one of the peagreeners, was taken to the juvenile hall oji account of his youthful appearance.
A trial was held this afternoon and, after a lecture by Judge Crawford, the students were released. The judge took the precaution to have plain clothes men follow the “misdirected" youths.

University Freshmen to Put the Pajama In Pajamarino Tonight
Premeditated attacks on the Thanksgiving turkey will give way tonight to preparation for attacks on the California bear, the bear hunt to take place Thursday on Bovard Field. The freshmen have been gathering wood for the last week in preparation for the big bonfire, in which an effigy of the bear will be burned with glee and haste.
Henderson has had a free hand in the preparations for the annual affair. His other hand is in a plaster cast, which is one thing Henderson wants to get off his chest.
It is rumored that the football players will make speeches, but this still remains a rumor and is not to be taken seriously. Coach Cromwell is scheduled to make a speech. He will undoubtedly talk on the pleasures of bear taming. In order that the coach may be heard the men are asked to report for yell practice one half hour before the rally begins and yell until they are hoarse. If the football men can be inveigled into this yell practice, students predict that the rally will be without a fault.
The freshmen are scheduled to appear tonight in pajamas, but 1( has not been stated whether the signal for their dance around the inspiring expiring bear will be

Cromwell’s Men Primed And Ready For Turkey Day Clash
Two Teams Appear Evenly Matched In Regard To Weight—‘May’ Will Help S. C.—Lincoln and W.S.S. Preliminary
The University of California Bears and Southern California’s ever fighting Trojans will meet Thursday in what promises to be one of the greatest gridiron battles staged in Southern California in recent years. The contest, which will be staged at Bovard field, marks the climax of Southern California s foot-| ball season.
This year’s game marks the fourth meeting of the two rival varsities since their readoption of the American style of football. In 1915 Coach Glaze’s men took the Bears down the line by a 28-10 score in a game played on the Berkeley gridiron. The return game at Washington park went to the Northerners by a 23-21 margin in a thrilling nip and tuck clash. Last year the Bears absolutely outclassed the Southern varsity, winning 27 to 0.
CALIFORNIA COACHES CREATE
STRONG GRIDIRON COMBINE
Starting the season with but five veterans of last years aggregation. Coach Andy Smith and his assistants have built up a strong fighting football machine which has made an enviable record for itself this season.
In intercollegiate contests California has lost but two games—one to St. Mary’s by a 14-13 score and the other to Oregon, 21 toO. The Bruins walloped Occidental 20 to 0; the Oregon Aggies fell before them on the diminutive end of a 14-3 tally; and the University of Washington was handed a 27-0 lemon. HARD LUCK HITS TEAM
Early in the season, in a game with the Mare Island Marines, Dan Foster, captain of the Berkeley varsity received a severe injury to his shoulder which has kept him out of the game for a couple of months. In fact he has not been able to be with his men in any of the battles with other colleges this season. Foster held down the fullback job last season and Smith had counted on him as a foundation on which to build a new backfield. In his absence, Carleton “Dummy” Wells has played at full and has been acting field-general of the squad.
With Foster, the remainder of the 1916 backfield, forced to hold a sideline position, Smith built up a new scoring machine consisting of John Higson, quarter; Andrew “Shad” llowe and Horace “Jock” Hayes, halves; and “Dummy” Wells, fullback. Off-tackle plays, crossbucks and end runs with these gentlemen in the leading roles helped defeat Oxy by three touchdowns.
BEARS IN WINNING STREAK
Against O. A. (’., the Bears played an open game, as the Oregon line was slightly heavier than that of the native sons. Forward passes and cris-cross Kugby passes featured the Bears’ work in this game.
A week later they defeated the University of Washington 27 to 0 by using principally straight line pluuglng tactics. “Shad” Howe made three of the touchdowns and Wells made one. Previous to this affair the Washingtonians had not lost a game for len years.
THE WORM TURN8
Then the St. Mary’s bunch ran a-muck and handed U. C. a 14-13 trim

TROJAN ELEVEN PREPARE TO END SEASON WITH A VICTORY
Undismayed by their defeat at the hands of Johnny Beckett’s all-conquering Marines on Saturday, U. S. C.’s football machine will go onto the field against California day after tomorrow prepared to balance things up in the matter of victories and defeats. Captain “Rabbit” Malette and his men have already avenged themselves for the beatings received at the hands of Utah the last two years, and if determination and “tho old Trojan fight” added to the best Trojan team in years will turn the trick, it is an even bet that Andy Smith will lead his proteges back to “dear old Berkeley” a beaten team.
The defeat of the Bears by St. St. Mary’s and the University of Oregon has shown that the Berkeleyites are by no means invincible. The Oregonians, younger and a great deal smaller than their opponents had no trouble in walloping them 21 to 0. Moreover Oregon played through the entire game without the use of a substitute. And moreover once again, Oregon had been previously walloped by the same Marines that rode over the Trojans.
WHO’S RIGHT? California’s two recent defeats are being used by backers of both sides as a basis for predicting victory for their favorites. The Berkeleyites claim that the two defeats will serve to remove any overconfidence the squad may have had, while the Cardinal and Gold followers believe that the Northerners are in a slump and will n ot be out of it by Thanksgiving day.
TROJAN8 IN GOOD 8HAPE Cromwell’s men are in good shape following Saturday’s game. Captain Malette’s injured forehead is healing nicely and If well protected should not give liitii much trouble. Frankie will have a hard lime of it, however, to get through the enemy’s defense, as the Californians will be watching him as a secret service agent watches a German spy suspect.
NO FRESHMAN TO PLAY Thursday’s affair will be a “chemically pure” varsity affair, neither team being permitted to pollute its lineup with freshmen. This anti-freshman rule strikes both teams with practically the same force. California’s first-
