Theta Psi and Z. K. E. Battle In Fraternity Gridiron Combat On Bovard Field
WINNERS TO PLAY “SIGS”
Two Untrained Elevens Afford Many Spectators Afternoon of Much Merriment
Theta Psi and Zeta Kappa Epsilon staged a four-round gridiron battle on
Bovard Field yesterday. The Thet’s won on points, 7 to 6.
The victors displayed a large amount of class in chucking and in snagging forward passes. It was after catching a 20-yard frontward heave from Webster in the second quarter that Frank Lockett, who played with the Trojan varsity this year, lunged over the "Zekes’ ” goal line for the only touchdown recorded by Theta Psi. Lockett followed up his achievement by hoisting the oval through the bars for the extra point which gave his cohorts the game.
It was a forward pass from Webster which went wrong that gave the Zekes their touchdowm in Round 3. “Dutch” Hinrichs, playing center for Z. K. E., in which position he was not expected to do any scoring, intercepted a pass from the opposing quarterback, which one of his playmates had partially blocked, and rambled 75 yards to the Pay zone. Art King missed the goal. and the score assumed its final proportions, which were 7 to 6.

Wampus Comes To Campus Tomorrow
WANTED—Some U. S. . C. “Crab,” who rides to school in a Ford and then expects a gym credit for it, to read the “WAMPUS” when it comes out tomorrow. Guaranteed that if he doesn’t get more laughs and blowouts from each of the sixteen pages than his “Liz” has troubles, the editors will furnish him with a new machine. One month ago the Wampus made a meek and lowly debut with eight pages of college mirth bound inside its mysterious cover. Tomorrow it comes out grown up to sixteen pages during the one short month which elapsed since its first appearanec. Under the direction of its editor, H. Aubry Miller, the Wampus promises to grow to the enormous size of twenty-four pages over the Christmas holidays and come out for its third appearance in January greater than ever in size and quality.
Comes Tomorrow Tomorrow U. S. C.’s newborn monthly will come out with a high quality of jokes and cartoons not yet seen before in a college magazine. Several new cartoonists have contributed to this month’s issue, while many students have sent in jokes and humorous articles.
The “Wampi” will be on sale tomorrow morning in the book exchange. Special traffic cops will be in the halls to take care of the rush, but students are warned to do their Wampus shopping early. Those who get out of their classes early should rush to the main hall, where the magazines will be on sale; those wiio are slow in leaving their classes need only to hang on to their fifteen cents and breathe whenever possible and they will eventually be pushed to the Wampus sales headquarters.

TROJAN SQUAD WAITS
IN VAIN FOR DEMPSEY
Clicking of the camera that was to have taken place on Bovard Field, Saturday, with Jack Dempsey as a football hero, was postponed until next Saturday, on account of the wet field. The Trojan varsity and “frosh” teams that were to serve as atmosphere for the picture, were disappointed after waiting nearly half a day.
ATTORNEY SNYDER ADDRESSES Y.M.C.A.
Attorney W. C. Snyder, U. S. C. alumnus, declared that principle is the foundation of all great men, in his speech at the Y. M. C. A., Monday noon. Mr. Snyder has been engaged in Y. M. C. A. work for several years.
“The reason for so many failures among college students, when they get out into the world, is because they are neutral when they face a moral issue,” said Mr Snyder.
“When a person gets out into the world he invariably meets conditions in which he is forced to choose between right and wrong, or remain neutral. The man who dares not stand for principle, who dares not choose sides for or against the issue, for fear of losing the good will of some group or person, is the man who will be unsuccessful.
“It takes more than dreams to make a great man. Many young men that go through college, have a noble purpose in view, but by far the larger majority fail to accomplish the desired end, because they accept a neutral attitude by endeavoring to hold the good will of everyone.
“Abraham Lincoln did not become famous as an emancipator by being neutral. He took sides with principle and, although he received thousands of letters threatening his life, he did not change his policy toward the question of slavery. He made good, and he made good on principle, that same quality that must be inherent in every great man.
“Jesus taught us to always stand for principle, and his teachings are the only safe ones for us to follow. Whenever one is in doubt, let him follow Christ’s teachings, and He will guide him in the right path.”

At the Southern California Conference in 1915 he won the pole vault by wiggling over the bar at the dizzy height of 12 feet.
He was also prominent in other phases of his college career, being a member of Zeta Kappa Epsilon, Scholarship Society, News Editor of the “Trojan,” and President of the Glee Club.
The work on El Rodeo ’21 is going on rapidly and efficiently, according to Katheryn L. King, its editor-in-chief. The staff has been appointed and organized now for some time, and is ready to go to work at a minute’s notice.
