The varsity's heavy artillery, hov -ever, started early and worked lato. One run was slipped over the rubber in the opening canto, two more trickled in in the fourth, and the grand bombardment took place in the sixth, when Gloomy Gus Henderson’s highly educated wrecking crew drove out enough safe swats to earn five runs.

Benefits to U. S. C., derived from trips to the outside cities by journalism student, are of two kinds, claims Mr. Goodnow. head of the aforesaid department. The University gets free advertising of the most valuable kind that nenetrates to every nook and corner in Southern California, and the students are afforded the opportunity of putting theory into practice and coming under tne influence of printers' ink.
“In return for their concessions, the newspapers also get certain advantages,” continued Mr. Goodnow. “The local news of the city is viewed from a new angle, covered more fully, and a peculiar life injected into the ordinary daily routine. By the latter method, reader interest is intensified.
“Next year, with the permission of the University, trips will be conducted, once a month, to numerous towns from Santa Barbara to San Diego.* Attempts will also be made to handle a page, under the supervision of the city editor, in one of the Los Angeles newspapers. Negotiations for this privilege were started this season, but they failed to mature. No more journeys by the journalism students are contemplated this semester.
Profession Has Own Atmosphere
“The newspaper profession has an atmosphere all its own that one must acquire before becoming successful in this line of work. By invading outside newspaper offices and doing the actual work for a day or two the students are made acquainted with this factor, al though we can hardly hope for them to master It in one or two trips.
“Each newspaper has different office ruleB, and, when we are in charge, these rules must be maintained. Various experiences in writing and distin guishing news will be an asset to the student, and this, coupled with a knowledge of making up headB and subheads, should be a part of the news-writing course.”

25 Men Turn Out For Football
Twenty-five men reported yesterday to Coach Henderson and Captain Evans for the first session of spring football practice.
HUT lor an occasional aiege ol hard time* lot* of people would be unable to appreciate prosperity.
Alfred Lewerenz, ’21, who lives on East Ocean boulevard, Long Beach, made a heroic effort to save the life of Dr. W. M. Condon, a retired dentist, who was drowned last Friday morning in a treacherous rip tide while bathing in the Burf at the beach city.
Dr. Condon, his brother-in-law, Dr. O. M. Ottis, and daughter, Miss Nora Condon, entered the surf early Friday morning and were caught in the rip ridj when they had reached a point just beyond the breakers. The men were not good swimmers Miss Condon started to their rescue, but was ordered by her father to save herself, then go for help.
Among the spectators who rushed to the scene and saw the two men battling in the rip tide was Lewerenz. He plunged into the surf and swam to Dr. Condon’s side. For nearly half an hour he held the man up in the water, at the same time fighting to get away from the treacherous spot. He could make no headway, however. The doctor and his would be rescuer were picked up by a boatman, who had hurried to them from the Pine street pier. Efforts made to revive Dr. Condon were unsuccessful. He apparently had died some time before.
IT. S. C. has progressed anothe*- step and is now ranking her local dra.. j.tic. productions alongside of Los Angeles’ professional theatrical offerings.
So ranked and advertised will be “The New World,” a masque written hy Mrs. Laura Swartz of the physical education—department, and presented under the auspices of the Associated Women Students, on the evening of Tune 1st at 8 o’clock.
Some monhts ago the Quill Club offered a prize for the best masque to be written by any student or faculty member of the U. S. C. The decision of the judges awarded Mrs. Swartz’s production first place. “The New World” will be staged on a raised platform on the north lawn, where 1,000 seats will be placed for the audience.
Synopsis of Plot
A synopsis of the plot follows: Tho three fates, Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos, in whose weaving lies human destiny, have lost the magic knife used In severing the thread of life. This loss is a matter of much perturbation to them, since its holder is possessed of absolute power to make or untie all knots in the life thread of mortals.
By an unhappy mishap, Materialism finds it, and, greatly elated by what he considers a dispensation of Heaven, he calls to him his companions, Evils, and proceeds to make himself master of the world.
Under his sovereignty, Joy, Ideals and Love, together with all the fairies and sprites, are driven away.
The World, missing the refugees and longing for their return, sends after them three men, the Poet, the War rior and Humanity. In the ensuing struggle, the Poet loses his life, but by his sacrifice effects the rescue of the outcasts, beloved by the World.
The defeat of Materialism and his associates is completed by the triumphant return and subsequent reign on the eart:; of Love, Ideals and Joys.
Three choruses—singing, dancing and pantomime, made up of twelve persons each—are included In the regular cast, which is composed of:
Materialism ...............Clarence Perkin*
l-ove ..................................... Myrna Ebert
Meals .........................Grace Louden
•Joys .................................. Chorus
