WOMEN STUDENTS 10 CREATE FELLOWSHIP
The Associated Women Students are endeavoring to put through a project whereby a more friendly feeling and spirit will be shown to women in the different colleges of U. S. C. A committee will be appointed from each college, and they will meet with the H. U. S. B. board at their regular meetings. A keener sense of fellowship will be shown and felt by all women, and the feeling will not be as though each college was separate.
The women students have done a lot to promote athletics. They have tried to organize a rooting section, and from the appearance of the stands at recent footballs games they should be highly successful. They made the pompoms which were much in evidence at the Oxy game and also sold horns. The result was an unusual amount of pep and jazz from the women at the game.

Sprott and Cline Make Professor Kleeberg’s Squad of Physically Perfect Specimens
When Andy Smith leaves Berkeley Thursday evening for Los Angeles with his University of California football artists, he will bring with him several “super men.”
Professor Frank Kleeberg, men’s physical director at the U. of C., recently busied himself and picked out a number of physically perfect specimens of mandhood from among the students at the Berkeley institution. Alfred Bryan Sprott, regarded as one of the greatest football players ever turned out in the state of California, was designated as the peer of the “su-per-Adonises.” Sprott was presented a gold medal for possessing such wonderful, classical lines of construction.
James C. Cline is another member of the football team picked by Professor Kleeberg for his squad of “super-men.”
Forced Into Hiding
When the announcement was made of Professor Kleeberg’s selections for the all-perfect lineup, Sprott was forced to go into hiding, so clamorous were the coeds to meet him and look him over.
Sprott has been out of the game most of the season, due to injuries. If he is in shape to play against the Trojans Saturday Southern California fans will probably be given a wonderful example of football as it should be played.
In addition to these prize “he-men,” Coach Andy Smith has a large collection of players who have proven their worth on Bear varsities of former seasons.
Fred Brooks, captain of the team, is almost without a peer as a line-smasher. U. S. C. supporters have not forgotten the Trojan-Bear game played at Washington Park in 1915, in which Brooks, almost unaided, scored two touchdowns for California, enabling them to conquer the local eleven by a 23 to 21 score. Eddie Simpson and John Fox, both members of this year’s U. S. C. Varsity, were in that game for the Trojans in 1915, and remember how Brooks, playing at right half, put his head down and tore into the U. S. C. line. He was simply non-stoppable. Brooks also had much to do with the defeat of U. S. C. by the Californians in 1916. This season is the first time since then he has played with the Bears.
Familiar Names “Shad” Rowe, who has been playing at left half with the U. C. eleven this season, is known to Southern California fans through his work against U. S. C. in 1917. Rowe is another husky line-plunger.
“Dummy Wells, California’s fullback, played with the team in 1917, and was chosen captain for the follow-
