Half A Moustache or Not Any,
Is Dental Upperclassmen's Edict
'
AT WILSON RALLY
/ilsonites Again Challenge Hughes Men to Debate Anywhere at Any Time
SPEAKER DISCUSSES
WILSON LEGISLATION
Si eaker Characterizes Obstreperous Hughes Element at Meeting as “Rump Parliament”
Is half a moustache better than no ) moustache at all? This all important question now confronts Dental Col-j lege freshmen. The upperclassmen, ! in the interests of “College Beautiful,” have decreed that all “frosh” refrain from wearing any and all kinds of lip-appendages.
Yesterday, a bold freshman dared defy the ruling—and half a moustache was the immediate result.
Only the merciful kindness of the
upperclassmen saved the remaining portion from a similar sinister fate. And it was their sympahetic natures which impelled them to add. “It hurts us more than it does you.”
The dental upperclassmen may wear coffee-strainers to their heart’s content. But nothing doin’ for the youngsters. The dental “powers that be” declare that mustaches are too unsanitary for tender freshman faces and too unhygienic for delicate freshman stomachs.
I "Charles Evans Hughes is a sincere man,” declared J. D. Larson, University man and orator, who ad-di ssed the Woodrow Wilson club in the university chapel yesterday morning.
■	“But his sincerity only makes him the more dangerous,” continued the speaker, “for sincerity is at a premium with the corrupt politicians and financiers who are back of the Republican party machine.”
■	The speaker’s remarks were continually interrupted by cat-calls and yells from a few Hughes supporters wlio had gained entrance to the room, ■lie speaker at one time, indeed, found it necessary to censure for their discourteous conduct those whom he characterized as “Hughes’ rump sup-■irtcrs.”
■	Mr. Larson in succession took up th tariff question, the Adamson bill, th' federal reserve act, Wilson’s Mexican policy, the social legislation put tnrough congress by the administrate ri. and Wilson’s policy of neu-
■lity.
■' 1 he fact that Wilson is being attacked by all factions—by English-Kin and German, by militarist and plciticist—goes a long way, I think, to prove that Wilson is pursuing the ^■ddle road.”
V he orator was repeatedly inter-*11'ted by enthusiastic applause, and at the close of his harangue, just be-foi e rising to sing the national hymn, tli' \\ ilsonites, with prolonged liand-cB.pping. showed their approval of th' speaker’s assertions and their wi lingness to do all in their power to promote the present administration’s inn li sts about the university. t P’rti cding the address of the morn-uii the club adopted a constitution an accepted the report of the nomi-na’ milt committee which was presented by Harold Brewster. Clifford Burr wa- elected president, Ruth Evelyn sec rctary, and Manfred Evans first vjfe-]iresident.
mong the long list of names presented as those of honorary vice-pr< dents were those of Oertley, Sed-w* Sharp, Dallas, O’Neil, Murray. ^■’ " Wendt, Morse, Jones, Work.
llenge to publicly debate the ^■l"■' tive merits of Hughes and Wil-as presidential candidates was extended to the Hughes sup-|M’	I his is the second challenge
ma< tlie Wilsonites within a week. ‘jj1' r lias as yet been accepted by in* hes supporters.

ON FOOTBALL TOGS AT U.S.C.
Will Arrive in Los Angeles From Mexican Border Saturday With Co. C of the Seventh Regiment, in Which He Is First Lieutenant
IS	BASEBALL CAPTAIN AND
MANAGER OF ATHLETICS
Basketball has been made a major sport this year and contests will be held with the northern universities. It is probable that a game with Stanford will be played here immediately after the Christmas vacation.
Trojan basketball prospects are exceedingly bright this year, and con-tine to grow brighter. Three practice games have been held. On the first night fifteen men reported for work. Twenty aspirants for basket-shooting honors came out Wednesday. Captain Cliff Henderson is confident that a greater number will come out in the future.
As freshmen will be ineligible for the varsity squad, two separate schedules will be arranged. There will be plenty of competition for everybody. The first practice game will be held next week with Manual Arts.
Motts Blair, former Trojan and L.
A.	A. C. star and one of the best-known basketball players in Southern California, is coaching the squad.
DENTAL CLASSMEN TO HOLD CONTEST
The annual push-ball contest of the Dental “sophs” and "frosh” will be held next Saturday afternoon, Oct. 22, at Bovard field.
The game will mark the termination of hostilities between the two classes. It is being eagerly waited for by the “sophs,” who want to prove their superiority in biting the ball.
Eddie Marxen will play football.
Marxen, who won laurels as star guard on the varsity eleven last year, who is student manager-elect of athletics, and captain of the varsity baseball team, will arrive in Los Angeles Saturday with Company C of the Seventh regiment of the United States army, in which he is first lieutenant. The company has been ordered from the Mexican border to the barracks at Exposition Park, where the company will be mustered out.
No direct word has been received by the university from Marxen, but it { is understood that he will enroll as soon as he is relieved from service in the army.
Mr. Marxen is librarian at the College of Law and the faculty have felt J so sure of his return that the position has been held open for him.
Coach Cromwell is elated over the news of Marxen’s return. He expects Marxen to be out in football togs { within the next ten days.
ARE HOPEFUL OF WALLOPING HILLTOP YOUNGSTERS
Los Angeles High School is Confident of “Wiping S. C. Babes Off the Map”

CHEMISTRY HEAD ADDRESSES CLUB
Dr. Laird J. Stabler gave an interesting review of the researches conducted in the chemical laboratory on methods for the manufacture of illuminating gas, when the Science Faculty club met in the chemistry building last Wednesday evening. i The process of manufacture and the purification of illuminating gas, as made from petroleum, now in use in ^ this city, was devised by Dr. Stabler I and his students, and their researches I were carried on in the chemical laboratories of this university. These methods have been adopted by cities in California and Mexico.
Fred Teschke is busy putting the finishing touches on his football machine, that he will send against Coach Featherstone’s squad Friday afternoon at Fiesta park.
This is one of the biggest games scheduled for the “frosh” this season, and much depends upon the final score. If the “babes” are beaten by the “hill-toppers,” it will lower their standing in the football world considerably.
The Los Angeles high school bunch is coming to Fiesta park, five hundred strong.
They have determined to wipe the “frosh” off the map. The L. A. boys have been working extra hard this week and by the noice the students are making at the rally, it has been rumored that nearly every L. A. student is goings to be at Fiesta park to boost their team to an easy victory.
Teschke calmly smiles at the reports from the enemy’s camp. “I am glad they arc optimistic as to the outcome,” said Fred, “but I’m afraid they are due to a great disappointment.”
The Trojan freshmen have reserved a special rooting section, and it will be a battle between the two rooting sections from start to finish.
Students going from the university can board a Jefferson street car going east, transfer to the Grand avenue car and get off at Twelfth street. Students’ tickets are 10 cents here and 25 cents at the gate.
The men representing the freshmen will be as follows: Center, Hester; right guards, P. 1 senor, H. Smith; left guards, Nesbit, McClintock; left tackle. Barrett, Owens; right tackle, McMellan, Zimmerman; left end, Jos-lin, Wilcox, Shea; right end, Hamilton, Anderson; quarter, Veen, Chestnut, Jaques; halfs, (Capt.) Mueller, Whitcomb, Packer, Thomas; full back. Hunter, Oertley.
Referee Ershfeld will call the game exactly at 3:15. Wells will act as umpire and Huyck as head linesman.
ALL STUDENTS AND FACULTY MEMBERS INTERESTED IN THE ELECTION OF CHARLES EVANS HUGHES ARE ASKED TO ATTEND THE INITIAL ORGANIZATION MEETING IN ROOM 14 AT 12:30.
