ROJANS THRILL HEARTS OF ANGELENOS
WINS APPRECIATION
New Department Is Success at its Inception
It the College of Commerce a success? Well, just read a few snatches picked at random from the letters which are received in every mail by this budding branch of the University, and which are typical examples of its popularity and usefulness.
W. O. Sampson, general manager of Bullock’s Department Store, recently wrote: “We will be pleased to bring it (information of the College of Commerce) to the attention of our people in such ways as we trust may be effective. We consider this an opportunity for the young business people of Los Angeles.”
C. D. Moore, vice-president and secretary of the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company of California', says: “I note with interest the good progress you are making in this new college, and I am sure that with the need as it is and in a field of this character it should grow rapidly and become one of the largest branches of our University work.”
“I place myself entirely at your disposal for whatever service it might be my privilege to render in connection with the movement which your institu-‘ion is heading and which we hope will result in the commercial development of Southern California,” wrote J. N. Carasso, general manager of the International Commerce Corporation.
Word comes from Carl M. Heintz. publicity representative of the West-:ne;house Electric and Manufacturing f,ompany, praising the establishment of the College of Commerce and adding, “I am bringing this to the attention of all the men in our organization and sincerely hope that it will result in some of them interesting themselves n this Course.”
MNTICKETS NOT ALL'GONE; GET YOURS
Only 200 U. S. C. students have bought season football tickets. Nothing has been heard from the remaining 1500 members of the student body. Such a slow sale of tickets is an unprecedented event.
A season ticket, costing only $5.00, admits the owner to the eight big games of the season. Separate admissions will cost $1.00 to $2.50.
“You all know what U. S. C.’s team accomplished in 1919. The Trojan team is even better this year. So it is up to you to support the men who are going to win big victories for you,” urges Gwynn Wilson.
NEW MEMBERS FOR WOMEN TENNIS CLUB
All women interested in tennis are urged to sign up for the tennis tournament which will be played next week to select new members for the Tennis Club. Bulletins wiU be posted in the Y. W. office and in the gym and every one signing up is asked to state all of her free periods so that a schedule may be drawn up. This schedule is to be followed implicitly.
It is the general custom of the Tennis Club to pick its membership from the winners of the tournament played at the beginning of the year.
Co-Ed Forecasts Push-Ball Result
By Winnifred Varner
“They’re awfully exciting! The fellows roll over each other ‘n’ the ball rolls over them all ‘n’ everybody shouts and yells ‘n’ the boys get bloody noses ‘n’ the girls ’most cry, ‘n’ nobody would miss them for anything!”
So enthused an ingenious U. S. C. co-ed yesterday apropos the greatly-heralded annual pushball contest between our milk-fed Freshmen babes and the swaggering, nail-chewing Sophomores which is scheduled for 1:30 today.
By the way, the aforesaid sophomores were the jubilant victors of last year’s content, and so are confidently expecting—and are naturally expected—to carry off the honors Easily, and in stormy-hearted glee, despite the d>»rr>al and heart-rending wails of the vast hordes of the newly arrived.
Bring Rattles Freshettes
Freshmen girls may prove their loyalty and devotion to their green-capped little friends by bringing to the field of combat rattles and other such entertainment to divert the youthful minds after their probable— nay, almost inevitable—defeat. Not only the Freshmen but upper classmen as well, will appreciate this courtesy, as loud demonstration of grief is held to be unseemly by the latter. Sympathetic feminine 24s will need no urging in this charitable deed for even now their tender hearts are swelled almost to bursting with apprehension and shivering anticipation.
But never mind Freshmen! University life is a great life and some day you—even you—will rank with the favored classes and glean joy from future pushball contests. Let this thought comfort you as you go forth to battle this afternoon.
E
Coach Has Two Full Teams of Substitutes to Choose From
1
One hundred and fifty new volumes added to the Spanish library of the University of Southern California constitute the most /important addition to this department’s equipment, since the valuable gift of Spanish books presented to the University last year by Mr. Juan Cebrian of San Francisco.
These volumes comprise a most comprehensive collection, and will prove a much appreciated and useful part of the Spanish works available to U. S. C. Btudents.
Perhaps the two most desirable and needed units are the revadeneyra, and the espasa. The former is a Spanish anthology of seventy-one volumes, tracing Spanish literature from Its earliest beginnings to the present time. The espasa, corresponding to the Encyclopedia Brittanica, is composed of thirty-five volumes. An interesting feature of both of these sets is the fact that they have no duplicate in any of the libraries of Southern California.
Numerous Volumes of Poetry
Incomplete sets of the standard works of Spanish authors have been jn the main filled out while numerous volumes of contemporary lyric poetry by Buch men as Rueben Dario, A. Machado, and J. Jimenez, are now on the .shelves.
General reference books, of which there are a good number, include vo cabularies, dictionaries, works on syn tmyms, Spanish art. Spanish procody, and history.
Lined up for the initial scrimmage of the year, which was held yesterday afternoon between the varsity and the frosh squad, the outstanding feature, both when awaiting the whistle’s toot, and in the spirited scrimmage that followed, were the pea-greeners.
With three full teams running signals each afternoon, with a wealth of material out for every position, including speed, weight and first class high school experience, the only thing green that we could see hanging around is the turf field.
The frosh have not had time to reach any point of perfected team work, and the “regulars” are not yet picked. The boys have never played together before, and yet they were able to present a strong defense from the outset. The offense was naturally weak, but it was noticeable that as the scrimmage progressed, it grew stronger.
Marble at center, Van More and “Butch” Farrel at guards, Freeman and Cummings at tackle, and Long at right end, were the outstanding features of the line. In the backfield. Campbell, Milton, Dolley, Arch Hawkins,, Lawson and “Thatch” Taylor did splendid work.
Substitutes Show Up Strong
To offset this brilliant array of voungsters, Coach Herd has two full t 'ams of substitutes, a number of which are in strong running for one of the coveted positions.
It is important, in fact, almost essential, that a football team has eleven substitutes, at least, that are almost on a par with the first eleven.
This season the frosh Bquad has eleven plus eleven, and then some— which sounds very well for future success, barring breakage, swell-heads and tike little torments of a football coach.
A line of a 180-pound average, a backfield that ought to tip at least 165 and with all the speed in the world ought to be able to accomplish something before the season is over.
Yes, indeed, we still maintain that the only green connected with that Kang of heathens 1b the turf field However, if the student body of U. S. C. would like to squint at this crew for themselves, be it known that Friday at 3:30 p. m., Coach Herd’s Bquad will tangle with L. A. High School on the high school field.
“Y” MEN AND WOMEN GIVE RECEPTION FRIDAY
PromiBing the students of the University one of the biggest social events of the year, the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. are working jointly in their preparations for the annual “Y” reception which is to be held in the “Y” hut next Friday night at 8 o’clock.
The reception committee calls special attention to the fact that the reception will afford an excellent opportunity for the new students to become acquainted with the faculty and the older members of the student body.
The reception will be informal. Good music and plenty of refreshments are assured by the "Y” workers. A cordial invitation is extended to the entire faculty and student body.
SOPH MEN MEET TODAY
All sophomore men are requested to meet in room li. at 11:40 today, for a few minutes.
By GEORGE DON ASHBAUGH Trojans were real Trojans yesterday. They were out to show the world In general, Southern California in particular, that this institution exists. The main cause of the whole commotion relates to the fact that frhree young gentlemen of the institution were members of a certain set of young folks who wore Red, White and Blue shields on their breact pocket made the rest of the world realize that Chris Columbus completed a nifty little job of discovering when he uncovered America. The three gents repose under the monickers of Charles William Paddock, George “Spec" Schiller and Roy “Swede" Evans..
The three star specimens of track perfection were eulogized at a mammoth mass meeting of green capped freshmen and others in the stands of Bovard Field. Shortly thereafter, the three star spotlight getters of this institution were ensconced in a large touring car along with the notable of the institution and whisked away to nard at the head of a winding gold and cardinal process sion. Many people who never heard of a spiked shoe, or a seven-foot circle until yesterday, can tell you the color of the £yes of three of the world’s greatest athletes today.
Wild Parade
The parade, amid a profusion of wild noises, a blockade of traffic, and several blown out tires, wended down Figueroa to Pico, across to Broadway, to First, to Spring, to Seventh, and disbanded at the Los Angeles Athletic Club. Here many went their various ways, while a large crowd wended, or rather speeded to Los Angeles High School. The Btudents at thiB institution seemed glad to see us. The faculty didn’t act so happy.
From the high school the merry mob rambled to the Southern Branch. Again the students seemed right pleased to see us, we mean the Btudents that wore the dresses and the frilled hair; those in trousers were doubtful as to whether our mob improved the landscape or not. The ruling gentleman at this institution was decidedly sure that our presence didn’t help the scenery any more than a Heinz ad.
Following the heart-rending rendering of a few college songs and the yelling of some yells, the mob dispersed and in due course of time arrived in the vicinity of the University Police Station, not in it, merely near.
Prexy Stirs Students President Bovard delivered a stirring talk at the assemblage in the bleachers. He spoke nostly of Charley Paddock and his achievements. He praised the speeding boy, not only for his athletic prowess, but for his high standard of scholarship, and for his student attainments.
Judge William M. Bowen thanked Charley for his endeavors on behalf of the Board of Trustees and after reading a resolution from the board to the world famous trackman he delivered the roster.
Paddock was introduced by Dr. Bovard and responded, his first words being, “There isn’t a finer spot in the world than California and their isn’t a better university any place than old U. S. C. I’m glad I’m back with you folks.” Charley told how Schiller and Swede Evans gave the school more than the students knew. Schiller had to jump over a Swedish runner in the semi-finals of the 440 and would have placed easily if this had not occurred. Swede made one of the greatest throws in the discus finals of the entire meet, but the ground was muddy and slippery and Swede fell out of the ring.
Paddock presented the university with the Olympic flag containing five rings, one for each Olympiad that has been held. Fred Kelly brought a similar flag to the university in 1912 with four ringB on it. Kelly’s flag hangs in the chapel and Charley’s will be placed by its side.
Schiller and Evans were not on the platform at the meeting, but Charley made up for the three. Mayor Snyder was out to welcome the men down town. All along the sidewalks could be heard the muttered question, “Which one is Paddock?” but the news kids knew and every one shrieked a “Hello, Charley, you beat ’em, didn’t cha?”
And U. 8. C. seemed to have rather a funny feeling yesterday. You could feel that they were touched. Most of them didn’t know what it was, but the sight of Charley Paddock, 30 pounds lighter and not looking like the old Charley, but a man who had given it for his University, seemed to strike the students. Maybe they didn’t know why they had super feeling as if they had conquered worlds, but they were rejoicing with Paddock.
And in the distance I hear an echo, “Let’s give three for Charley, three now; let’s go!”
SOPHOMORES SUFFER IN THREE COLLEGES
Sophomores have been administered beatings by tbe freshmen in three colleges of Southern California this semester.
The natural query is: Will the frosh of S. C. defeat the sophs in the push ball contest this afternoon?
First the freshmen of the Southern branch defeated their superiors in the tie up. Then the Pomona frosh came along and did the same In the Sage hen institution. Monday the Oxy freshies tied and retied the sophomores, while the upper classmen amused themselves by pouring water on both teams.
The final Oxy score was 14-1.
PIG8KIN FOR POMONA FR08H
Partial line-up of the Pomona freshman football has been announced. Kell, of Citrus Union; Collins, of Monrovia; Ledzer, of Hollywood; Frater, of Pomona, and Titus, of Berkeley, are the men selected as the probable nucleus of the new team.
PADDOCK GREED BY
“Sir Charles William Paddock,” returned hero of the Olympic meet, was welcomed by the students of Liberal Arts yesterday morning at a monster rally held on the bleachers of Bovard Field, j The rally was held'for the purpose of welcoming back the three represen-| tatives of U. 8. C. in the world athletic meet, but George Schiiler, the 4 40 man, and “Swede” Evans, the plate heaver, were unable to appear.
The celebration was started off I with several musical numbers by the University band, at the end of which time Charles Paddock was seen having his picture snapped for the local dallies while being greeted by “Prexy” Bovard. Gwynn Wilson, President Bovard, Judfte William Bowen and Charles Paddock had been seated on the stand for some minutes before the noisy celebration ceased. j Gwynn Wilson then introduced President Bovard, amid cheers for
