Phi Delta Chi Will Clash With Sigs In Semi-Finals
With the serol-flnals In basketball to be completed thi safternoon. when Phi Delta Chi’s group of goal tossers clash witli Sigma Chi at 5 p. m.. the Inter-fraternity championship match looms rlose nt hand. The winner of today's came is due to play the Zekes' crack machine next Friday, in the gymnasium. in the final contest, the winner of which cops the victors’ trophy and all the glory that goes with lt.
Zekes Defeat Phi Alpha
The battle which took place Monday night between the Phi A quintet, with three Butterfields ln the line-up, and the Zekes, was easily the best match of the season to date. The losers had the advantage in weight and in tough ne8S, while the individual playing ability was about the same on l>oth sides. Zeta Kappa Epsilon came out ahead in flashes of speedy and well-timed teamwork, with "Dutch" Hinrichs generally chosen as the man to try for the goal. The shooting of the Zeke captain was the feature of the game, particularly in the flrst stage, when he scored 8 of the eleven points made by his team. Howard Butterfield made the Bole Phi Alpha score in this half.
Albert Butterfield Good
In the second half, Hinrichs made two more baskets, but Albert Butterfield was high point man. making four shots for a total of eight points. In this period, Zeta Kappa Epsilon scored 8 to their opponents’ 11, but the early lead gave them the game by the decisive margin of 21 to 13. The game was a wonder from a football standpoint, many of the players being varsity or freshman men, with plenty of pep left over from the gridiron season, which cropped out repeatedly.
Wolfe, the referee, was lenient with hoth teams, but even in this case, penalties were often called, though seldom converted into a point.
Leo Calland took offence at Fred Ott in the second stage, and took the sacred oath of the Hindu Mystics to lay him out. However, he was unable to make good during the rest of the game, and everybody parted with mutual regrets. Aibert Butterfield was slammed against the wall and had his temple badly skinned in the commencement of the second half, and after the blood began to trickle down his face in a dozen or more fine streams, he began to shoot goals with a high degree of accuracy, scoring 8 points ln this manner before the game ended.
The following men played: Zeta Kappa Epsilon—Calland, Graham, White, Hinrichs and Boeck; Phi Alpha —Axe, Ott, A. Butterfield, H. Butter-Held and C. Butterfield.
Debaters Meet Today
With Coach; Plan Trips
All Bowen Cup contestants, men who entered the special debate tryouts, and last year’s squad men will meet Professor Anthony F. Blanks, debate coach, this afternoon at 2 o'clock in room 4 of the Journalism building. Merle McGinnis, debate manager, urges all debaters to be present at this first meeting. Plans for the Southern Debating Trip and the Triangular Debate will be discussed.

The class in Material^ of Construction of the Engineeing Department will take the third scheduled trip to study the various methods of manufacture of materials used in engineering construction, this afternoon. The party will leave the Engineering Building at 1:16, and will proceed to the plant of the Bayer Rothgeb Ornamental Iron Works. Here the class will make a study of the methods of making ornamental castings of iron, brass and bronze. This plant makes a specialty of turning out such work as bank fronts, elevator grill work and other intricate designs, and should prove to be very interesting *to the engineers
The next point of interest will be the Griffen Wheel Factory, where the methods of casting freight and passen-ser wheels will be observed. Here they will also be shown the method of testing the car wheels and will study the different compositions of iron used. The Union Iron Works will also be visited, and here the methods of fabricating structural steel will be seen.
This trip is not necessarily confined to members of the class, anyone that ii interested in this kind of work being invited to go witli the class. An interesting tour is not only promised, but the engineers have the reputation °f usually having an afternoon full of Pep

THE COMMITTEE. ‘
WARNING! 1 I
Far be it from us to stoop so low as to place in print our opinion of the low-browed, flat-footed, ditch-digging degenerate pick-swingers wl^p reside in that barn-like red structure which mars the beauty of our neighborhood and who have the audacity to dub themselves “engineers!”
Yet, nevertheless, the powerful dental quintette, having been challenged by its inferiors, will be more than pleased to massage the surface of any basket-ball court named with the mangled forms of such engineering misfits as dare oppose them.
Let those responsible for the outrage in yesterday’s Trojan hie themselves post-haste to the College of Dentistry to arrange details or forever hold their peace.
debate reads, "Resolved, that the United States should institute a responsible system of cabinet govern ment."
On the southern trip, U. S. C. will compete with the Universities of Arizona, New Mexico, Baylor, Oklahoma and the Southern Methodist University. Other universities may be listed as contestants after. The trip will take place the flrst week In April. The question which will be debated Is, "Resolved, that the candidates for the presidency of the United States should be selected by a national system of direct primaries.”
Bowen Cup Winners The same question was debated extemporaneously In the Bowen Cup con test on November 18. Winners of silver cups were Wilbur Cdrtiss, Paul Bruns, William Maxwell and Allen Siple from the College of Law; William Barber and John Robinson from the College of Liberal Arts. These six men were selected from twelve contestants who were in turn selected from the thirty-two men who debated In the Bowen Cup preliminary tryouts Freshman debaters will meet La Verne College and local high schools on these questions.
Reserve Debater's Desk A special desk, bibliography, and material have been reserved for debaters ln the University Library.
“Work on the debates will begin at once; material has been sent for,” says Merle McGinnis. "The men who work the hardest and show results will be the ones_ who find a place on the teams.”

An Ordained Minister In 1896 Dr. Flewelling was ordained in the Methodist Episcopal Ministry. From 1903 until 1917 he acted in the oopacity of Methodist pastor in the state of Massachusetts, finishing his career with the reputation as being one of the most brilliant pulpit orators in that part of the country.

Dog Out Again!
/ -
He is loose again. For nearly a year he has been securely lashed and muzzled, but he has finally broken loose. Far into the night can be heard his eerie howls and all good men shiver in their beds, for they know that a hidden and mysterious power is again at work. Even in the broad daylight hls muffled growls can be beard and apparently honest men go through intricate signs and sounds when passing oach otlier. His favorite hours seem to be between 1 and 4 ln the morning, and that peculiar howl can be heard to echo and re-echo bb he passes certain houses on the campus.
Mysterious Power
What is this mysterious power? To the great uninitiated be is Bimply the Yellow Dog. To the great Initiated he Ib simply the Yellow Dog. He comes from no place and Is going nowhere, yet his powers grow stronger every day. Prominent men of the university seem unashamed to respond to the grand hailing sign, and the distress signal given at any public meeting would meet with an instant and Btrong response. It Is reported that a great many new pups have been (aken Into a local kennel, among them the follow ing:
Two prominent Stanford men were initiated lately, and soon the Yellow Dog will be howling on the campus of that northern institution. The missionaries who will carry the supreme high sign to the laud of the Cardinal und White are Tom Marks and Ed Henderson.
PLEADS FOR CENEROSITY TOWARD STARVING CHINESE AND FAMISHING CHILDREN
"Fifteen million persons will die in war these countries fought with us or
China this year,” stated Professor John Hedley yesterday.
Professor Hedley spent 16 years in China and was twice a member of the Chinese relief commission. He is considered one of the best informed men on the subject in California.
In a letter to the Trojan he makes a plea for free will gifts to be handed to your professors in class tomorrow and Friday. Every student who feels the least bit sympathetic, or tender hearted, will be expected through generosity of heart, to help the cause.
Professor Hedley's letter to the Trojan follows:
Editor the Trojan:
I have a burden on my heart I wish to Bhare, and an appeal I wish to make. So heavy haB the burden become that I have just had an Interview with the president of the University, and am writing you with his consent and full approval.
Here Is my burden:
1.	THREE AND A HALF MILLION CHILDREN ARE STARVING IN CENTRAL EUROPE.
2.	IT IS ESTIMATED THAT FIFTEEN MILLION PEOPLE WILL DIE OF STARVATION IN NORTH CHINA THIS WINTER.
I type these words in capitals, and I want you to print them ln capitals, that they may burn Into all our hearts at this Christmas time.
Hoover, the savior of Belgium, has dedicated himself to the task of raising, without delay, twenty-three million dollars to' save these little children of Central Europe.
It matters not whether during the
against us. It Is the children we are thinking of. There Is not one of us In this University who would not give his meal to save a hungry child near him, nnd children are children the world over.
Think of three and a half million little, famished children. If we could see them, the sight would drjve us mad.
Then think of a procession four times as long as that would be, and realize. If you can, that ln China fifteen million people are marked for death through lack of food unless we and other people who call themselves Christians come to their help.
Now here Is my appeal:
You will print this on Wednesday. I ask, in the name of our common humanity, and In the name of Him whose coming to earth we shall celebrate so soon, that on Thursday and Friday of this week, before we go on our vacation, there shall be made In each class an offering of money which shall be equally divided between the Hoover-Literary Digest fund and the Chinu Famine Relief Fund.
President Bovurd has appointed me to receive and forward Immediately all moneys contributed for these two purposes. TEN DOLLARS WILL SAVE A EUROPEAN CHILD. SIXTEEN DOLLARS WILL SAVE A MAN IN CHINA.
Of course, everybody will give SOMETHING. And we will all enjoy our Christmas dinner the better because of our Christmas giving to needs like these.
JOHN HEDLEY.
President Bovard Does Not
Underestimate College Studes
‘I do not underestimate the high moral purpose or the degree of Intelligence of the college student of today. I think it is becoming higher,” said Dr. Bovard, when giving his opinion upon the statement of Chancellor Frederick A. Hall, of Washington University, that colleges are in danger of turning out students of a lower Intellectuality. "With the ending of the war,” continued Or. Bovard, “men who are returning to civilian life are getting a new vision of what college life and a college education will mean to them In the future.
“Never before have the advantages for entering business been so many and varied. But the student of today is beginning to look ?head and to weigh the advantages to be gained by going to college against those of an early business start. It may be true that the grade of work being done at the present time is perhaps inferior than that which has been done in the past, but that I think is due to the crowded conditions of the colleges and the lack of instructors and equipment. It is much harder for the student to go through college now than it was some years ago. This, I think, shows a higher purpose than heretofore.
“It is said by some that there are no Lincolns, no Washingtons, no Jeffer-sons as there were years ago. There are no such peaks of intellect standing out upon the horizon. That Is because even the man of mediocre intelligence today may be of a higher type than the great men of yesterday. It is becoming increasingly difficult to reach a place of prominence at the top.”
Dr. Bovard expressed his faith in the college student of this generation, in his high ideals, and his optimistic hope for the future. The fact that a lower degree of work is being done is not due to the intellect of the student, he said. It is due to conditions which should be alleviated by the community. Therefore, It is up to the community directly, and not to the student, to Improve and maintain the high standard of American colleges and universities.
