ROCKWELL D. HUNT READS PAPER TO HISTORICAL SOCIETY
The recent re-election of Dr. Rockwell D. Hunt, professor of economics, to the presidency of the Historical Society of Southern California, was formally observed last night when Dr. Hunt read a paper before the organization on, "Houses that Came Around the Horn.”
He told of the extreme scarcity of labor in the early days of California, and of the endeavor of some of thc pioneers to solve the problem by importing houses in sections, all ready to set up. Several of these structures, he said, which were brought from Philadelphia to the ranch of Commodore Stockton, are still stand- I ing.
The meeting was held at the board j of education rooms in the Security building.

Before the largest crowd that has ever witnessed a basketball game in Southern California, Motts Blair's lighting Trojan five overcame the Occidental Tigers by the close score of 22 to 20 on the L. A. A. C. court last Monday night.
Faily 700 people were gathered on tbe side-lines and the balcony when Referee “Rufe” Klawans tooted his whistle for the opening of hostilities. After the last strains of music had •lied away there was not a person who did not acknowledge that he had gotten a nig four-bits' w’orth of entertainment.
Although the game was by no means a wonderful exhibition of basketball, from the standpoint of an in tercollegiate contest it was a great success. The rival players and root-

shot through the basket. On one occasion Ben tossed the ball over his head and through the little iron ring for a clean shot.
Art Taylor played a stellar game for U. S. C. during the first half, his accurate passing and careful guarding being a strong factor in the Trojan’s showing. In the second half, however. Art seemed tired and dribbled the ball instead of passing it to the forwards. He made a number of long, unsuccessful shots at the basket which might have resulted in scores had he passed to the man under the basket. On the whole, though, Taylor put up a great exhibition of basketball.
Captain Henderson played a strong defensive game until he was forced to retire with an injured hip. Cliff’s basket shooting eye was a little off form, however, and he shot only two fouls out of five chances.
MacCormack and Hackney, forwards, each shot a pair of goals. "Hack'’ was the only Trojan lucky enough to score any points during

Occidental drew first blood by scoring a point on a free throw a few seconds after the opening whistle. The Tiger rooters went mad, but soon recovered their balance when the Trojans stepped out in the lead. Coach Blair’s boys had all the best of the argument in the first hall. Time and again they rushed the ball down the field to Oertly and MacCormack, who stood directly under the basket and tossed the pill through with pleasing regularity. Once in the lead, the Trojans were never again headed.
When the first half was over the score board read. U. S. C. 18, Occidental 11.

Captaiti-Manager Carl Brandstetner was the bright and shining light. “Brandy” played a wonderful game in the guard position. And it was due principally to his efforts that U. S. C.’s score was not much larger. He also shot a goal from the middle of the field which will not soon be forgotten by those who witnessed the performance.
Warren Betts, Oxy’s forward, was high man for the evening in the scoring line. Mr Betts rang the bell all by himself on ten distinct and separate occasions. Six of these points came as the result of’free throws.
J. Rufus Klawans gave an excellent exhibition of the referee’s art and did more than any ma<? on the field to keep the game free from roughness. | The fact that none of-the players were

The Trojans failed to realize that their early scores were the result of short throws and began to follow the example of the Occidental men in shooting wildly at the basket regardless of the chance of scoring. This wild and eckless throwing almost caused Motts Blair to die of heart failure and kept the Trojan rooters sitting on the
let, which was scheduled to furnish a little music between halves, evaporated into thin air and the multitude was forced to be satisfied with band music instead. This was the only drawback to the evening’s entertainment. Nowadays a bighclass cage game is not considered complete without the uplifting effects of harmony.
