EURHYTHICS TO BE ATHLETIC CLUB CERTAIN DEMONSTRATED HERE OF VICTORY OVER u. S. C.
TO WEAR CAPS AND
CLYDE THOMAS FAVORS
PROPOSED PLAN
Since the final decision to hold a freshtnan banquet was made by the joint committees of the College of Law, numerous suggestions have been received urging that the seniors be permitted to attend the affair in cap and gown costume. The sug-gestions have come from upper and lower classmen alike. The dignity the costumes would lend to the banquet and the fact that other great colleges favor them are arguments advanced.
"1 certainly favor the proposed plan,” said Clyde Thomas yesterday. “The senior is justly proud of his position in the school and it would give the banquet a touch of college life that has long been needed in the law school. The custom has been adopted by all the other great colleges in the country."
The school already owns the caps and gowns a.id the trouble in getting them out of the cedar closet, it is argued, would be negligible compared to the benefits derived.

Murray, Captain of L. A. A. C. Eleven and Coach Roesch, After Working Men Hard, Certain of Outplaying Cromwell’s Squad.
Captain Murray and Coach Roesch of the I.os Angeles Athletic club arc certain of a victory over the Trojans at Fiesta park tomorrow afternoon. They have been working their men hard, and have instilled them wltn confidence which bodes ill for Cromwell’s men for at least the first quarter.
Every year since the Trajons broke over to the American game, the athletic club has expected to win the annual struggle. They have put out god teams each year, but have never been able to defeat the southern college teams. Sometimes their failure has been due to lack of training—the Mercury players have to practice in a gymnasium at night—but more often it has been because the college men have so much more to fight for, and hate to be beaten by a mere “club” team.
The Mercury men nearly defeated Occidental a few weeks ago, and that is the chief reason why they are so sure of beating U. S. C. Then they saw the California game and decided that the Trojans had nothing but fight.
