TEMPORARILY OFF
Dr. Sprunger, Back From Europe, Pleads for Greater Gifts Here at Home
PRAISES RED CROSS
Urges More Than Just Doing "Bit” and Buying of Liberty Bonds
“We have called you American cousins’ before, but now we feel you are brothers,” was the remark with which an English “Tommy” greeted Dr. Sprunger, Y. M. secretary, who has just returned from Europe. Dr. Sprunger told of the incident in a powerful address at a joint assembly of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Wednesday, at 11:40.
“The time has come,” said Dr. Sprunger, “when we, as true patriots, must not just ‘do our bit/ ” One Tommy said to me, “That is a damnable phrase.” I asked him why he thought so, and he replied:
“The fellows at home in the munitions factories, who are making in money five times what we are here, say that they are doing their ‘bit,’ we are only giving our lives.”
"This applies to those of you,” continued Dr. Sprunger, “who have bought Liberty Bonds for which you will receive 4% interest, who sit idly by and say, 'I have done my bit.’ ”
“Don’t just give, give until it hurts, and then give some more. Sacrifice!” was the speaker’s plea. “Show those boys of ours you’re with them, all the way.
“Like the Red Cross society, the Y. M. C. A. is carrying its friendly services into the camps of the enemy,” Mr. Sprunger stated.
“The hatred existing among those at home does not extend to the soldiers in the trenches. The soldiers are fine Bportsmen. They have a very wholesome respect for those who, like them-Beives, are fighting for their country.
“Remember from now on, it is our boys who are going over the deep; our boys who are living in barns and whose leisure hours are full of terrors far worse than death.’’
“When during the coming days you are called upon to give to this great work do more than your ‘bit,’ England has laid her ‘all’ on the alter of sacrifice. California’s share of tlie Friend ship Fund is only $750,000 which is only an infinitesimal fraction of her total wealth.”
The Pomona-U. S. C. game scheduled for Monday, November 12, has been temporarily called off. At a recent meeting of the Southern California Conference of colleges, which includes Redlands, Throop, Whittier, Pomona, and Occidental, all gave their consent to the proposed game except Oxy. As a game cannot be played without the consent of all the members it looks as though the gala event of the year will not be held.

Game to Be Held in High School Stadium Saturday— Some “Froshes” Will Play
Coach Cromwell will send his Trojan eleven against the officers’ team of the 21st infantry in the big high school stadium at San Diego tomorrow. The coach will take a number of freshmen south with him, as the game scheduled between the babes and Santa Ana high school for tomorrow has been called off by the prep team.
The soldiers’ team is said to be oomposed of former college and West Point players, and is expected to give the Trojans a tough battle. Recently they defeated the eleven of the 157th regiment in a game at Camp Kearny.
Most of the cardinal and gold boys are in good condition. Captain Malette however, has a badly bruised hand received in the St. Mary’s contest which is still bothering him some.
The Occidental freshmen and San Diego high school will stage a preliminary bout to the varBity-soidier go.
HOPKINS AND
ARNOLD WIN THEIR MATCHES
BASKETBALL SQUAD
BEGINS PRACTICE
The faculty tennis tournament is progressing with the systematic precision characteristic of dignified professors. Our “profs” are at it with balls and bat. Not mere practice, you know, but “the regular stuff.”
Doesn’t it look fine ln print? “Famous preacher and newspaperman meet in death to death struggle on U. S. C. courts.” Perhaps you won’t recognize these said heroes in the persons of Professors Hill and Hopkins, in which case you are out of luck, for that’s who they really are. And you have heard of the notorious soldier and military driller known in person as Professor Ralph La Porte;; and of the U. S. C. Quarterback of former days that used to lick every team in reach —alias, Professor Paul Arnold.
Professor Hopkins vs. Hill, and Arnold vs. La Porte, was the scheduled game. Unfortunately only two out the four could walk off with high score, so Hopkins and Arnold fixed it up between them to make It respectively 6-3, 6-2; and 6-1, 6-2, which gave Arnold the lead. This tournament took place Tuesday. The Wednesday session followed hot and heavy. Professor McMath won from Flewelling with a score of 6-4, 1-6, 9-7, and La Porte from Flewelling with a score of 6-1, 6-3. Flewellig doesn’t seem to feel a bit bad, because when interviewed for his story he was found laughing about the scores with bis victorious rivals. Oodles of reasoning power, but not enough elbow grease, one would say.

Varsity and ‘Frosh’ Elevens Unable to Reach a Decision
Both Teams are Near Score Several Times, Aut Can’t Deliver Necessary Punch— Pretty Peanut Venders Aid El Rodeo Fund
Pledge Signers Must Stick To Principal Not To Letter Of Pledge
LAW SCHOOL MEN MAKE
PLANS FOR BASKETBALL
The varsity basketball squad will
start active practice Monday. Art Taylor has been chosen captain and he will lead a team composed to a great extent of last year letter men, the veterans being Ray Haight, Cliff Henderson, Ben Baker, Rowland MacCormack and Captain Taylor. Clarence and Howard Buttefield of Orange, and “Pete” Lucas of Visalia, are predicted to be coming candidates for stardom, as they were fast players in their high Bchool careers.
The men will probably try out for their old positions: Taylor, forward; Baker, Henderson and Haight, guard; MacCormack, center.
JUNIOR CLASS TO MEET
U. S. C. Law school students are laying plans for the coming basketball season. At a meeting Wednesday Sam Wolf was elected temporary manager while another meeting is to be held this afternoon in the freshman class room to elect a captain.
The Law men have secured the old Los Angeles high Bchool gymnasium for practice purposes and will start warming up right away.
SOCIOLOGY PUBLICATION
CONTAINS CAMPUS NEWS
The first number of “Sociology Notes” for the current term made its appearance yesterday. The neat four-page leaflet contains so many “personals” of interest to University students, about the activities of campus personages of this and past yearB, that the “Trojan” is very much inclined to take off its hat to the sociology reporter, whoever he is. Here is campus news of a distinctly worth-while sort; all of it would be worth reprinting, but that wouldn’t be just fair, so the thing to do is to get acquainted with a sociology major and borrow her "Sociology Notes,” or better still, take a dollar around to Dr. Bogardus and join the club.
Believing that war with Germany is insufficient, the varsity and freshman football commanders proceeded to marshal their forces and stage a civil war in their own backyard Wednesday afternoon. After a solid hour of mortal combat, neither side had anything on its opponents, and the escutcheons of the Houses of Cromwell and Tipton remained unblemished by a score of any kind.
--The varsity machine, recruited to
full war strength, looked like a flivver of the vintage of ’98 for the first few minutes of the play. Without warning the peagreens popped out of their shell craters and attacked the enemy with great vigor. An 18-yard advance by Galloway on a fake-kick formation and some long bucks by Captain Jimmy Smith and Charley Dean put the ball on the varsity’s ten-yard line. Here the upperclassmen took a brace and checked the "frosh” advance. An incomplete pass behind the goal line gave the varsity the ball.
BACK AND FORTH The pigskin was promptly returned to the “frosh,” however, as Cromwell’s hirelings could not make their yards. From this point to the end of the game the ball was constantly changing hands—fumbles intercepted passes and punts shifted it from one side to the other.
Toward the end of the fight the varsity steam roller got up steam and plowed its way to the “goofs’ ’’ ten-yard bulwarks. A 20 j ard dash by Chesnut, and another by Butterfield aided materially in accomplishing this end. However, they couldn’t put over a touchdown, and as the final whistle tooted, a forward pass from ‘‘Chesty” settled into the outstretched arms of a Tiptonite.
TEAMS EVEN
The work of the two lines was about on a par, though in the second canto the work of Dan McMillan and Art Taylor was better than anything the freshmen could offer. The backfields were also very evenly matched, and in the matter of ground-gaining, honors were equal. Ray Clark was the varsity's strong man, in carrying the ball and in intercepting passes. Harold Galloway, the freshman quarter, gained the most yards for his team.
Dean and Lucas retired from the combat with injuries.
The proceeds of the game will help pay the interest on last year’s El Rodeo debt.
SAVE ICE CREAM Before play started, pretty society girls wended their ways in and out among the crowd selling abbreviated ice cream cones and several secondhand peanuts which had been saved from the junior circus. Some criticisms were heard to the effect that the cones contained too little ice cream. This was uncalled for as the management was simply doing its bit toward conserving the nation’s ice cream supply, and should be praised, not condemned for putting only three ounces in each cone. Save ice cream and win the war.
Horrors! Pie, cake and white bread were meant to be saved, only weren’t.
Owing to a mistake, either in the wording of the petition which was circulated pledging signers not to eat the above named articles, or to the misunderstanding of the pledges, white flour and sugar are still being absorbed in huge quantities by U. S. C. students. Of the 114 students who patriotically signed the pledge, approximately 100 have transferred their money and appetites to “feeding places” other than the cafeteria. Mrs. Spenser, manager of the cafeteria, is in despair. So is Mrs. Mackey, who circulated the pledges.
Both wish it to be distinctly understood that white bread, pie and cake are still served at the cafeteria if demanded. The object of the petition was to curtail the demand; not only ln the cafeteria but everywhere.
“If you sign the pledge not to eat sugar or white flour products ln the cafeteria, and then go across the street and fill up, you aren’t helping Mr. Hoover or Uncle Sam at all,” said Mrs. Mackey.
“What we are trying to bring about, is the saving of white flour and sugar, and whether you save It on one side of the street or the other, doesn’t make any difference. The thing to do, is to sign the pledge, and then stick to it, when eating in the cafeteria or elsewhere.’’
AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER GETS INTO PLAY AT
U. S. C. DENTAL COLLEGE
That new—or fairly new—automatic sprinkling apparatus at the College of Dentistry had its first chance to prove its worth last Tuesday morning at 5:30 o’clock. Some eager young tooth-specialist evidently had gotten around early for classes, and had been playing with matches; for fire broke out, an alarm was sent in, and there was excitement in the neighborhood. The automatic sprinkler beat tbe fire department to it, however, aud there was nothing left to be done. Total damage, nothing.
PRIZE PAINTING8

Students will be interested to know that the pointings of Miss Helena Dunlap are on exhibition at Exposition Park, November 1 to 15.
Miss Dunlap’s work took the second prize at the San Diego Exposition, which is sufficient recommendation tp assure an interesting exhibit.
