CHRISTMAS PARTY FOR ALL STUDENTS
Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Will Give Party For Students Who Stay During Holidays
Realizing that a great many of the students of U. S. C. are unable to go home during the Christmas holidays, the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. are planning to have a good old fashioned get-together Christmas party at the “Y” hut on Thursday evening, December 18th, at 8 o’clock.
Santa Claus will be there with a few gifts for some of the faculty and students. A large Christmas tree is to be one of the main features of the evening, according to Miss Sarah Snow, who with Mr. Wesley Freeman is at the head of the work.
A splendid program will be given and last, but not least, by all means, “eats” will be served.
Everybody is invited to come and | make this affair one of the best of the year.
PAUL PICKS SIX TROJANS
Paul Lowry, sport writer for the Los Angeles Times, got busy the other day and picked an all-Southern football team. Six Trojans were selected by the scribe—four without any hesitation whatever, and two after careful comparison of their work with that of other possible candidates.
; Paul’s ideal gridiron team is composed of the following players: McCellan, Pomona, left end; Bell, Pomona, left tackle; Fox, U. S. C., left guard; Simpson, U. S. C., center; Hoi-ginger, Throop, right guard; Evans, U. S; C., right tackle; Smith, U. S. C., [fight end; Covington, Pomona, quarterback; Leadingham, U. S. C., left ■half; Dean, U. S. C., right half; Kirkpatrick, Occidental, fullback.
I Eddie Simpson was chosen for the center position over Powers, of Occi-Lental, after considerable deliberation. 5°th men are among the best players in their position ever seen in the
south.
Lowry says of the U. S. C. men he picked:
Evans was without a peer in Southern circles.”
Smith, at right end, was the class
the flankers.”
Eox proved a star, twice as good Kjjard as a tackle.”
Simpson has an uncanny ability

Frosh Caps to Go Out of Style
Ah, that looked-forward to, hoped-for day has arrived. Like a bolt out of the blue, comes the glad tidings that the lil* green bonnets which have become a part of our Freshmen, are to be discarded for this year.
It is with sadness that this is announced—for, as many co-eds have oft remarked—the Freshmen looked so grand in those jockey lids. When Freshmen read the proclamtaion, they should be proud to think that they have been recognized so soon in the eyes of the great powers that “am.”
LITTLE SISTERS WILL
DINE WITH BIG ONES
Some of the “Big Sisters” are trying to find their “Little Sisters” and would like to meet them at luncheon Thursday, December 11, at 12:30. Will the following girls meet in the Chapel Annex and go to the cafeteria together — Ruth Townsend, Helen Brockett, Edna Thompson, Alta Thomas, Marjorie Taylor, Laura Swartz, Kathryn Hester, Ora Cleary, Helen Landers, Lola Wortman, Leona Thurow, Blanche Wadleigh, Edna Buckingham, Esther Lunn, Marion Phillips, Marjorie Phillips, Irene Gordon, Lucile Guzzle, Esther Herbert?
ANNOUNCEMENTS
THE WAMPUS WILL
GRIN AT US AGAIN
The staff of Wampus announces that the Holiday Number is now at press, and will be on sale December 17. This number, while but the second one, will be bigger, better and classier, the editor states, and a representation of University wit.
ALL-STAR ELEVEN
TROJANS WILL WORK OUT IN CLOB GYM
Basketball Teams To Practice On Good Courts Three Times a Week
There will be a Torch and Tassel meeting today at 12:30, in Room 21. Important.
The Women’s Tennis Club will hold its first meeting Thursday at 11:40, in Room 14. Very important business will be transacted, and all members must be present.
The names of students who have been doing unsatisfactory or inferior work in their studies during the first half of the semester and who have not yet called at the office for their cards, will be posted on the bulletin board in the main hall next Monday. Of the six hundred students who were to have received unsatisfactory cards, there are yet two hundred who have yet failed to report to the office.
A Freshman class meeting will be held Friday in the chapel, at 11:40. Several important matters have to be settled.
Dr. Montgomery issued an announcement yesterday, stating that the Christmas vacation begins Saturday, December 20, at one o’clock in the afternoon, and that clauses will be resumed on January 5, at eight o’clock in the morning.
Manager Henry Bruce, with the cooperation of Coach Elmer Henderson, has secured the use of the Los Angeles Athletic Club gymnasium for use of the basketball team on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Coach Henderson stated that the practice hours would be either from 3 to 4 p. m., or from 7 to 8 p. m.
The athletic club court is considered by connoisseurs of the cage game to be the best equipped and fastest court west of the Rockies. However, the local court will not be entirely discarded, Captain Chuck Ainley of the varsity declared. It will be used for signal and basket practice.
It was thought that the securing of the club court will stimulate the enlistment of the candidates for the various positions. There are enough for two varsity and one freshman team, with substitutes.
Dame Rumor has it that all varsity games will be staged on the club court, and from all the ear-marks one may judge this silver-tongued dame to be correct.
Practice will be conducted at the university gymnasium, Coach Henderson stated, and will be continued for a week or ten days before the team is taken to the club, as he wishes to pick the players who shall continue.

By Lang Felton
Having read all the all-star Pacific Coast grid squads which the various experts have named, Andy Smith, California football coach, announces his selection. Smith has endeavored to be impartial in his choice and has given the tanbark stars from each institution on the coast fair consideration.
Three Bear griddero are in the lineup, while Washington, Oregon and Washington State College sport two athletes. Stanford and the University of Southern California have one man each on the mythical team.
Simpson Selected
The selection of Eddie Simpson on the Pacific Coast all-star team is of special interest to local football fans. This classy center hails from U.S.C. and has been practically a unanimous choice for the pivot position on the teams picked by the leading experts of the Southland for the All-Southern and All-State aggregations.
Previously the U.S.C. men have not been considered seriously, due to the fact that the university has not been a member of the Coast Conference. However, with the recent high class brand of football displayed by the Cardinal and Gold, together with the fine individual showing made by several men on the team, it is certain that the Southern team will have as fair a chance for high honors as any other team on the coast.
Eddie Deserves Position
Simpson has earned his position on the ail-star eleven by powerful, consistent work which at times has been brilliant in quality. He has exhibited a splendid knowledge of the pigskin sport and is unbeatable at following the ball. This fact was unquestionably demonstrated in the California game when Eddie intercepted a Bear pass and ran half the length of the field for a touchdown. Simpson is a veteran at the center berth and last year played on the fast Rockwell Field service team. Prior to this he played on the U.S.C. varsity for two years. This makes his third season and he is eligible for next year’s team.
