Mozart, “the horse that does everything but talk,” and, who leaves shortly for a vaudeville tour, will entertain the audience by performing his wonderful tricks.
Following this, some of the favorite old-fashioned plantation melodies, sung by the “Three Harmonious Negroes,” will be heard.
In addition, there will be Japanese fencing, a Fathe Weekly and a short stunt, known as “Studio 102.” Professional talent has been procured and as a result the prima donna, Madame Jeanette, will sing The seniors have, however, many surprises to give before the eventful night of the “Road Show.” The bulletin boards will bear novel posters and announcements.
Coach Dean Cromwell With Reed Crippen Who Will Run Mile For S. C.
Coach Dean Cromwell Starting Reed Crippen, Phenomenal Freshman Distance Man, In Practice.
>■
Reed Crippen, Freshman miler, entered U. S. C. from Polytechnic High School with an excellent record in the distance event, and has had no difficulty in remaining undefeated thus far this year. In all probability he will have pretty close competition in the California meet. Coach Dean Cromwell, Southern California’s unusually efficient tutor of the track and field, sacrificed an excellent position with the Pierce Arrow Motor Car Company in order to re-enter the realm of athletics, to our mutual advantage.
RALPH GLAZE WILL AT
E
Ralph Glaze, former U. S. C. athletic coach, has been engaged by Drak« I'niversity, Iowa, to direct athletics in that institution during the coming year.
Glaze will coach the basketball and football teams, and it seems probable that for the first time in years Drake will put out a baseball nine.

Abolition of Freshman Rule Will Mean Much to S. C. in Tomorrow’s Track Meet
Large Number of Upperclassmen Will Add Points to S. C.’s Score— Ticket Sale Closes Today
The Climax of the track season will be reached tomorrow, when the Trojans and Bears vie for supremacy on Bovard Field. The Bears arrive here this morning.
In last year’s contest the Bears came off victorious, but in the two preceding years the southern team was winner. Last year’s slump is attributed by many to the evit wrought by the freshman rule. This piece of antique legislation wrought much havoc in southern athletics, but had little bad effect in the State University, due to its tremendous enrollment.
Frosh Well Represented If this dope holds good the abolition of freshman rule should mean another victory to the Trojan varsity.
It is true that the freshmen constitute a large part of that team. Ken Johnson in the sprints, Crippen and George in the distances, Thompson and Wilcox in the hurdlers, Bidwell and Tracy in the jumps, and Whitte-more in the weights are all first year men. The veteran contingent is composed of Captain "Bill” Bradley, “Long Horn” Martin, “Mike” Murray, "Pete” Werner, Leo Livernash, Hal Clement, and Jerry Craig.
Veterans are Out
Among the upper classmen who I have made the team this year are Clyde Deuel, Ray Clark, “Deacon” Moseley, and “Strawberry” Dallas. Deuel promises to become a star broad juniper. Clark and Moseley are tearing off the four-forty, while Dab lias been learning to pole vault, .t is on the freshmen, however, that Coach Cromwell depends.
Fred Teschke announces that the sale of student tickets will close this afternoon. Teschke further stated that no exceptions would be made to this rule, it being final.
