Rev. Dr. James A. Francis, pastor
■	the First Baptist Church of Los Ankles, and now chaplain in the United
tates army, appeared in khaki before le student body of the University of Bouthern California yesterday, and Lve the most vivid word picture of lie in the U. S. training camps, that las yet been heard at U. S. C.
I “If anybody had told ine five years a o that we would be at war, and that I would leave my pulpit to make the Bind of speeches I am making now, I ■ould have asked that man how long ■go he took it,” declared Dr. Francis. I “We are in, and we find it hard to Hdjust our thinking. At American Hake I saw seven hundred men get off t! e train. They were fresh from a Muntry district. Some were pretty Htdiy bewildered. The majority of lien are not naturally yery courageous; I don’t mean they are cowards; b it they require training. The contin-Hent from Butte decided they would Hot get out of the car. An officer gave tliern the first command, and they holered, ‘If you want us, come in and Het us.’ The officer went away, came liitck a little later, and said in a quiet tune, ‘It’s time to come out, boys.’ Hhey came.

The Liberty Loan campaign, hints and rumors of which have been floating through the air for the past three weeks, yesterday hit the campus with a resounding thud.
This is the final week of tha great drive; only $2,000,000,000 out of a total of $5,000,000,000 has been subscribed for, and in particular the Los Angeles district has to raise over $5,000,000 each day this week.
Professor Tully Knoles last week told the girls’ Red Cross sections the full details of the loan campaign. Many of the Btudents were surprised to learn that bonds could be obtained on easy term payments. They were told that no more patriotic service could be rendered to the United States just at this time than the purchase of a Liberty Bond.
Over a dozen girls subscribed on the spot, and many others bought bonds later.
Professor Knoles also addressed the various assemblies during the week. Yesterday the Liberty Loan campaign invaded the classrooms, and few indeed were the professors who did not speak of the matter and urge everyone to buy bonds. Professor Owen gave a stirring talk before his psychology sections on the war and its significance; Dr. Flewelling praised the girls who are knitting soldiers’ outfits; Professor Hopkins had his sections in journalism write “news Btories” designed to make the public buy Liberty Bonds; ;and many other lecturers forgot their syllabi and told of America’s need.
This is the second issue of war bonds in the United States. Germany is now on her seventh. England has borrowed from every source and has only the United States to depend upon. The same Is true of France, which has a national debt of 32 per cent, of her national resources. The population of the United States is the financial court of last resort, and in contrast with the rest of the world, has waxed richer rather than poorer through the war.
Term payments make it easy to purchase the bonds, which are in denominations as low as $50. One may pay 2 per cent, to begin with, a second payment of 18 per cent, on November 15, and 40 per cent, on December 15 and January 15. On a $50 bond, the highest payments would be only $20 in a given month.
Liberty Bonds may also be obtained through the banks, the pur-

(Continued on page 2, col. 3»
The Y. M/C. A. cabinet “set-up conference” was held last Friday night and Saturday morning at Dr. John G. Hill’s cabin near Sierra Madre. Dr. Hill and Dr. Roy Malcolm were present and gave short talks.
The officers made reports of the work done to date and discussed their plans for the remainder of the Y. M. C. A. The War Fund campaign was presented and plans put under way that will show what U. S. C. la made of.
While not ln session the fellows were by no means unoccupied, for after strenuous efforts to dodge Captain Jacoby's flying dirt, or sudden ■prays of water, that came from somewhere, they were ready for Chief Cook Scotty’s appetizing meals.
On last Tuesday evening, in the Hotel Anlexandria, Dr. Allison Gaw, head of the department of English, gave before the members of the Schubert club the first of a series of lectures on the plays of Shakespeare. These lectures will be devoted to an examination of the principles of play-writing for the benefit of the prospective playwrights in the creative department of the club. The opening lecture treated drama as conditioned by certain fixed psychological factors inherent in the constitation of the human mind, and by a number of temporary and local conditions dependent upon the mental environment of the author, the acquired tastes of the audience, and the theatrical conditions under which the work is to be presented. Ensuing lectures, which will occur at intervals of two weeks up to the first of February, will consider the plays “Othello,” “Romeo and Juliet,* “The Merchant of Venice,” “Julius Caesar," “Hamlet,’ “Lear,” and “The Tempest.”

Dean Cromwell’s husky Trojan eleven rode roughshod over the prides of Arizona on Bovard field Saturday, emerging from the first pigskin battle of the season on the long end of a 31—6 score. The Wildcats, though they fought gamely from the first to the last whistle, were unable to combat the superior playing of their heavier opponents. -
The first S. C. score was made early in the first quarter. A series of bucks and an end run by Malette put the ball on Arizona's 25-yard line. Arizona gained possession of the ball on a fumble and punted. Malette made a fair catch on the Wildcat’s thirty-five yard line, and then booted the ball squarely between the goal posts for three points. Near the close of the quarter, the Trojans brought the ball to the Wildcats’ three-yard line. From this point, "Shorty” Miller, the human battering ram, broke through into the pay zone. Malette converted.
INTRODUCING “SHORTY"
A new star for the cardinal and gold was introduced to the fans in the person of “Shorty” Miller, an embryo lawyer. “Shorty” is of the smashing type of football player who tears into tho enemy's line like a torpedo from a German U-boat. With the S. C. line breaking up Arizona’s defense, and with the backs affording him perfect interference, Miller was usually good for a gain of from four to eight yards.
The opening of the second canto found Arizona's Cactus Crew fighting desperately to even things up. Some husky line plunging by Marlar and Porter of the aliens placed the pigskin within striking distance of the S. C. goal. Half-back Gilbert, replacing Meyer, who suffered a wrenched knee and a broken ankle earlier in the game, took tbe ball through the Trojan line for tbe Desert Rats’ only tally. Quarter-back Slonaker, a “left-handed kicker," missed an easy shot at the goal.
At this juncture Cromwell Inserted several new henchmen into his lineup. The reinforcements were successful in checking the advance of the enemy.
The intermission between halves came before further damage was done by either side. With the opening of Act II, Scene 1, '‘Shorty" Miller again became rambunctious, and propelled himself through the line for numerous gains. A spectacular spurt by Skipper Malette placed the ball on the 18-yard line. After a few short bucks, “Shorty" broke through, and deposited another
