Friday afternoon, with the famous ngineering war-cry of “Gang" upon heir lips, some thirty-five Engineers et forth upon an Invasion into alien erritory. At Declez, after much preliminary scouting, the granite quarry f the h. A. Rock and Gravel Com-any was invaded. When the Engi-eers appeared the Mexican laborers mmediately aimed themselves with ledges and other accoutrements and reparerl to resitt what they took to e another revolution, but a parley brought about by Professor Cook <1 the quarry was taken peac^jbly. The Hotel Tetley at Riverside was nosen as the camping' site for the Ight and after mess the Engineers set bout for means of putting in the evening. The main party paid a visit to the famous Mission Inn, followed by a picture show, while others not finding Riverside exciting enough Went to “Berdo." About 1 a.m. the seismograph at Riverside registered a heavy shock, which awakened the inmates of the Hotel Tetley. Upon investigation, however, it was found that Professor Cook's bed had collapsed, which caused the shock. After a few brief calculations upon the “slipstlck,” Bradley announced that the collapse was caused by the bed being incorrectly ' designed and not having the proper modolus of elasticity as well as not having been reinforced hy con crete. The bed was assembled again and Professor Cook found that by lying crosswise with head and feet upon two chairs that he would be able to use it as a sleeping place again.
At 2:30 the party from “Berdo” and the rain arrived simultaneously and both having the same properties, I.e., that of being wet. Here Professor Cook came in for some more hard luck, as the roof over his room proted to better funnel than roof, «<^te placed a chair upon the radiator^nd •at out the remainder of the night, that being the only place that was

Odd Observations Obtained
From the Press Box Heights
Since recovering from the shock that I almost received in	last
few moments of play, I am forced to rise up and say that oilr patron saint “Gloomy” did some of the neatest psychology that was ever exhibited, on any gridiron, any place, Saturday.
By George Don Ash oaugh
When he seat in that gang of fresh subs to hold the terrors on the one-inch line he displayed that seventh sense. The divine must have told him that a gang of fresh subs were better to stem steam roller advances than a group of tired linemen.
Pomona has a nifty press box for the entertainment of the men who furnish the f/ee advertising to the universities. It protects the scribes from the rain, sun and wind. Mighty fine. All universities should have a place like this for the newspaper men.
Pomona co-eas seem quite webfooted and used to the rain, the way they went into things like ducks.
Wonder how some of the fair coeds would have been able to “keep that school girl complexion” if old Jupe Pluv had started proceedings. A good many were noticed who carried no umbrellas. It's taking an awful chance, girls.
If prayers were ever answered, mine were answered. While I sat in the press box, chewing fingernails, and praying, that gang of subs successfully stemmed the tide. All of which goes to show that either subs or prayers or both are great factors in football.
Coach Nixon remarked to me in the training quarters before the game that Saturday was Pomona's lucky day. We are constrained to remark that Nix was “off” on the luck, but his team were certainly “on” In the flght.

Myo Deare Ye Edltore:
F»r the first time ln my life I am gonta compliment somebody, That •omebody Pomona College. O' course, they were out to make the B®*test possible showing toward the visitors Saturday—and boy, they did!
I hit Pomona early. Bein’ a busy *uy as I am. Borne gent, who every-0dy ln the town of Claremont knows, *«arin' a white sweater, spotted my * look and 8. C. watchfob and ****** ine if he could give away some *°od time and be my personal escort. jj , * *uy shows me all the sights, the uce(* n>e to everybody from stnH^boy to the president of the ma.-.. **ody—tbe latter spends his coll* m?wenu “Urging hash in the
aiocrBfc deanery—such bein’ the de-
to * m. u l^at canjpij® He took me nigh mucky-muck and grabbed
a pass to the press box for me, he
took me dow. ‘o a place and saw to it that F imbibed food. Incidentally that feedery is a real place. They soak you 45 cents and you go along and take what you please. The good looking young co-ed, believe she is society editor of the college paper, who dishes out the meat, asked me wether I preferred a planked steak or mutton chops alia grautin. I forgot which I took. I was watchin’ her eyes. Sweet papa! It seems nobody amounts to much on that campus unless he serves grub, or sweeps sidewalks or some other equally enlightenin’ task Did it impress ine-I hope to tell you! So durned much that f I attempted to be humorous today it would sound like a funeral dirge.
What I started out to do was to say a good word for Pomona and her democracy. I hope I did rhey treated us mighty fine all the way through and good sportsmanship deserves retaliation
Democratically yours,
THE RAMBLIN’ KOOK.
Postripped This is not the same
kind of democracy Jimmy Cox is ior.
If any of you stayed in Claremont Saturday evening and heard those girls in their dining room singing, yelling, and still fighting for Pomona, you marveled—or you are an unappreciative bunch of dubs. Those girls still were fighting for Pomona. From all appearances they intend to keep on fighting until the end of the season and unless I miss a guess, that bunch of co-eds are going to win the rest of Pomona’s games for them.
It’s a safe bet that those girls don't let members of the football team stay later than 9:30 at night.
While mentioning fighting spirit, co-eds yelling, and such, it may be well to remark that U. S. C. was mighty well represented with a crowd of which any college could be proud. The Trojans showed fight both on and off the field.
I am constrained to say, but I firmly believe, that if I had been a U. S. C. co-ed I would have waded through that mud and serpentined with that bunch of men, regardless of editorials, finesse, ladylikeness or any other thing. That was one game In our history when I believe almost any show of enthusiasm would have been warranted.
While saying nice things about Pomona It may not be amiss to say that those Pomona girls can sing, and yell, and certainly do know how to fight. We were strong for the Oxy girls and their fight, but we needs must give the prizes to the Pomona co-eds.
To show the excellent spirit that their girls actually had, we quote the following: A certain P. C. co-ed with yvhom I am more or less Intimately acquainted came rushing up after the game and in a voice that was hardly more than a whisper, with a faint suggestion of tears In the corner of her eyes, and sadness permeating through her enthusiastic face, sa'id: “Oh, Don, that was the greatest game I ever saw. Let me congratulate you on the wonderful playing of your team. It was marvelous. There is no doubt but that a better team defeated us. We are proud of our showing, though.”
I wonder If the Pomona women would have serpentined? I wonder?
Nevertheless, it was a great battle, one that U. S. C. can be glad of winning. Now only one thing remains for U. S. C. to do, and that is to trim Oregon on Thanksgiving and win every other game and then— ON TO PA8ADENA! ! 1
JUNIORS WILL HAVE
Not to be outdone by the seniors, who “snooked" last Friday, the Juniors will go on a picnic to Brookside Park. Pasadena, next Friday.
Caught in one of his few leisure moments, Dwight H. Reay, treasurer of the class, gave out the following for the press:
| “In connection with tbe clbarlous end of the regale, class members are to be taxed 30 cents for the comestibles -or, as one might less graciously say—grub. In order to guarantee tbe success of the party it will also be essential that the members of the organization he on the site of affairs at the stiuiated time. The Pacific Klectric has been chosfn as a medium of conveyance, and those who anticipate taking part in the merry-making would do well to board a special Hunt ington electric coach, which will leave Exposition Park at 1:15. To remain In said vehicle until Ihe point of des tfnation has arrived, lt will be necessary for Juniors to possess tickets. These may be obtained either from the treasurer’s office or from any of the following: Charlotte Hastall. Rita Walker, Marian Joplin, Lawrence Hewitt and Albert Butterfield, provid ed he Is not occupied explaining protoplasm to a member of the fair sex. The ticket sale begins today
‘‘Among the features of the picnic will be swimming, games, a bonfire, revitalizing eats, and that ain’t all
HERD’S GANG IS TOO STRONG FOR CARDINALS
Score Total of 35 Markers While Stanford Gamer* a Goose Egg For Hard Labor*
Defeating the Stanford freshman football squad by the decisive score of 35 to 0, and doing so on a strange field and under the handicap of a referee who, according to the returned frosh, was unaware of the difference between a football and a piece of camembert cheese, Cliff Herd’s Trojan babes proved themselves to be high class frosh material. University students have been accustomed to having the frosh snow some unsuspecting high school under by u high power score, but when they play another college freshman team and do the same thing, a faint suspicion may begin lo glimmer through that perhaps better frosh teams are not turned out anywhere.
Score In First Minute Stanford perhaps has that opinion by this time. Within a minute after the game had started last Saturday, the S. C. Frosh had taken the Stanford kick-off and shoved over a touchdown on a trick play. The referee, however, would not allow it, so that only one touchdown was made during the first quarter, when John Hawkins took the ball over.
Two more trickled through in the second frame when Emmons, right end, ran 15 yards to a score, and Dolley bucked the ball over later.
Milton at Left End Milton, formerly fullback, started (he game at left end. In the third quarter he recovered » Stanford fumble and conducted the ball 25 yards or the fourth touchdown. The final score came In the last quarter when White, substituting for Milton, intercepted a forward pass and took it 40 yards. Hawkins kicked goal.
Tiernan Plays for Trojans Several changes were apparent in the line-up, some of necessity and some by opportunity. Dick Lawson, who has officiated as quarter in all the previous games, was unable to make the northern trip. In addition to this change, Phil Tlernan, formerly of Long Beach, late of Santa Clara, and now of U. 8. C., played half. Phil is built rather sparely, but he runs like a deer, only more so. His playing was a brilliant unit In the teamwork Ot the backfield, which played the Cardinal Frosh so completely off their feet. John Hawkins, Campbell and Dolley made up the remainder of the backfield.
Farrow Strong In Line Lauren Farrow who Is built for speed and power, played <i strong game at right guard, while Cummings and Freeman, tackles, also showed up well.

Fighting each other to a standstill under the cloudy Claremont sky >ast Saturday, the Trojans and Sagehens played one of the most tensely exciting football games ever seen In Southern California. When the last quarter had ended and after practically everything which makes football sensational had taken place, the U. S. C. Trojans had annexed their fourth consecutive victory of the season by the score of 7 to 0, and in doing so put themselves at the head of Southern California football teams.
Thrills in Fourth Stage
The Trojan touchdown came ln the first quarter when Beale broke through the Blue and White defense and blocked a kick by Covington. The S. C. tackle fell on the hall within h few feet of the goal line, and Woodward carried the ball over for the touchdown.
Occasionally menaced by the Pomona attacks during the rest of the game, the Trojans kept comparatively free from danger until the fourth quarter. With but three minutes of the final frame to play, Wilson broke through the line, running 35 yards lo within three yards of a touchdown before going out of bounds. Here the fighting Sagehens, backed up by their hundreds of rooters, playing on tlieir own field, and sure of a virtual victory should they make the three yards, bucked up agSlnst the Trojans for the championship of Southern Callfor-

CHORAL UNION IS AI IT ONCE MORE
Choral Union is expected to pass Its enrollment of one hundred members at the next practice, according to Professor Cogswell who direct* the vocalists. Forty aspiring singers reported at the first practice this year. Each was asked to bring a friend, and at tha next frehearsal eighty were present. Since that time a number of others have signed up. Professor Cogswell says that lt is still not too late to join.
Work has been started on Hayd’s “Creation,” the oratorio chosen for production this year by the Choral. The remarkable enthusiasm on the part of the student body has made certain the accomplishment ot the plans of the College of Music for the society.
Although no practice was held yesterday the Choral will sing In chapol today as usual. To facilitate the opening of the service, Director Cogswell asks that the members take the seats on the platform assigned to them promptly at 11:40 without waiting for the full chorus to assemble.

Issue The Whittier News
By Frank Price
Heralded a few hours before their arrival by a series of heart quaking thunderclaps, vivid Hashes of lightning, and a downpour of ralu, Marc. N. Goodnow's spirited band of U. 8. C. newshounds udvanced, iu small groups, upon Whittier early Saturday morning, Invaded the building of the Whittier News and took possession for the day They were to Issue the Saturday edition of the News This was the third of the trips which the Journalism students of U. 8. C. have made to cities of the Southland, under the guidance and direction of Mr Goodnow, to gain practical experience in the actual issuance of a city dally. Two trips were made last spring, to Venice, when Tommy Met calfe, last year's Trojan editor, acted as city editor, and to San Bernardino, when Ihe redoubtable George Don Ashbaugh had that imposing title thrust upon him. Both Tommy and George are journalist* of the first magnitude, and carried off Ibeir duties with ease and aplomb (whatever that is). In fact, George is believed to have been born with a set of ten-point boldface type for teeth, with
which to blU) out a snappy story from tbe most trivial piece of news, aud used a linotype slug for Ills first mouth organ. Both were missed on the Whittier trip, as was Lew Wiles, the star reporter, who can thaw out the most crusty sheriff In any county and make him talk.
But otlierB of the old tiir is were on the ground Uj supervise .he activities of the cubs, and when t ie last sec tion had arrived, sixteen ne vs chasing Trojans and their big boss, Mr Goodnow, hud gathered in the office of the News, ull ‘‘rarln’ to go!” They were turned loose In short order and went out to filter through the main stems and byways of Whittier to glean all the news "that's fit to print." (Only Chauncey would have unearthed any other kind.) Any baby that cut teeth In the Quaker city on last Saturday cannot blame the visiting cubs If the record was lot perpetuated iu the News; such facts could only have been concealed if the babies were ducked under the bed when the reporter came around.

nia.
Four times the attack struck tho Trojan line and the last attempt was piled up where the first started. Not only did the line hold, but on Lead-Ingham's 55-yard punt to the middle of the field, Greene, left end, recovered the ball, and a Trojan offensive started which ended only when the whistle signaled the end of the game. The Trojans were but six yards from their second touchdown at the time, and had old Father Time been Bllghtly less precipitate in hlB flight, the smashing attacks of Charlie Dean, which made from four to fifteen yards per each, would almost certainly have brought the score to twice seven.
Cardinal and Gold Prominent
Pomona's eight hundred students were present In a solid body to back up the Sagehens, and the spectators from U. S. C. numbered a thousand and then some. The old Trojan fight
“Gloomy” handing James Woodward, Esq., the “do's” and “don't' at Pomona before the game.
brought out a body of rooters to Pomona which was perhaps the largest crowd that ever attended a game away from tbe home grounds. Outside spectators brought the total attendance figures up to (he 5,000 mark, and there Is little doubt that not one of the crowd regretted tho shekel* parted with at the gnte.
Keen rivalry between tho rooting sections, loose harmony between the bands, and an Ideal day for football made the external features of tha gume nearly perfect. As for the play itself, sensational football, straight football, heart-rending football even, brought Ihe crowd to Its feet every few minute*.
Pomona Aggressiva
Heartrending moments for U. 8. C. began In the first quarter when Covington ran hack a punt of Leadlng-hatn'a to the Pomona 60-yard line, where the Trojan line held, forcing him to kick. He did *o, aud Leadingham was obliged to fall on the ball without a gain. Taking no chances, 8. C. kicked from lls 80-yard line, and Covington took the punt again, purking It 35 yard* beyond the point at which he first came ln contact with It, bofore Townsend stopped him. Here, as throughout tbe game, Covington's broken field running was on* of the fealure* of th« playing.

I OOOL.O BEAT |M *
What every Pomona collega guy waa saying last Saturday night.
With 10 yards to go, the Blue and White failed to make an Impression on the Trojan defense, the final play, a forward pass, going far over the Una and equally far beyond any Pomona player.
Ten Yards to Oo Again
Once more In the first quarter the Sagehens had the ball within ten
yards of a coveted touchdown, but aggressive measures failed at tha
critical moment and Leadingham kicked out of danger. Thex worked It to tbe 25 yard line again but Calland decided to Intercept a pass at this stage of tbe game, and succeeded In taking It 15 yards before being brought to earth. Butterfield made 15 yards around end a few minutes later, but the punch to put a score over was lacking and Pomona ye-celved (he ball when a forward pass fulled 24 yard* from the line.
Beal* Blocks Kick Covington elected to kick at this point, but Beale smashed through and blocked It, messing things up for the Sagehens by falling on Ihe ball only one yard from the goal line. Woodward took it over and Evans kicked. Shortly afterwards the quarter ended with the hall in possession of the Trojans on their 53-yard line.
Punting In 8econd Quarter Throughout the second quarter the Blue and White made desperate and prolonged efforts to scora, but the stiffening of the defense and the cool, long-dlstauce punting of Leadingham
