SAINTS BARELY DEFEAT U. S. C.
TROJANS PLAY ARMY ELEVEN ON SATURDAY
Game Originally Scheduled for October 13 Will Finally Be Played Off
FOOTBALL GAME TO PAY FOR EL RODEO
ARMY BAND TO PLAY
Occidental Freshmen and San Diego High School Will Play Preliminary Game
Coach Cromwell will take his fighting Trojans to San Diego next Saturday to play the eleven of the Twenty-first infantry of Camp Kearney. This game was originally scheduled for October 13, but was postponed because Secretary McAdoo’s speech for the Liberty Loan was scheduled for the same day.
Next Saturday’s game will be a patriotic event rather than an ordinary football contest. The army band will be present and will render military airs.
Previous to the opening of the battle, the captains of the two elevens will be introduced to the crowd. The Trojans will take with them a large S. C. pennant to be presented to the captain of the soldiers’ team, and Captain Malette of S. C. will be given a navy pennant, which was used years ago on the United States torpedo-boat destroyer Paul Jones.
The army men, while not boasting a wonderful squad, have promised to make things interesting for their visitors.
Previous to the varsity game the San Diego high school eleven will meet the Occidental college freshmen.
Coach Cromwell will take most of his varsity players and probably several freshmen with him to the southern city. The men will leave the Santa Fe station at nine o’clock Saturday morning, and will get into San Diego at about one o’clock.
The Senior class will no longer be in disgrace for their El Rodeo debt after the football game, Wednesday, between the varsity and freshman teams.
The class has arranged to have a game played on Bovard field, the returns of which will pay off part of the debt contracted by last year’s Junior class for the publication of El Rodeo.
The Faculty Committee on Student Publications has refused to allow the present Junior class to start work on their book until the old debt is paid.
Tickets can be purchased from any member of the senior class for fifteen cents.

Y. M. Worker Raises $400 in Ten Minutes, Following Stockdale’s Speech
The task of awakening the campus to the significance of the coming Y. M.
C. A. and Y. W. C. A. "drive,” went ahead yesterday and Friday with leaps and bounds. Chapel speakers, including students and camp workers from outside, told big audiences of the need for funds to safeguard the morals of Uncle Sam’s boys in the draft camps; many meetings of various committees were held, and Clifford Henderson and Sam Stagg, in charge of the “drive,” reported that many donations had come in wholly unsolicited.
Atfer Dr. Stockdale had delivered a remarkably powerful address in chapel on Friday, over $400 was raised In ten minutes by one worker for the fund.
Tomorrow at 11:40 o’clock a joint mass meeting will be held in chapel by the two organizations, to which all students are invited. The speaker will be J. E. Sprunger, international secretary for the Y. M. C. A., who spent eight months in the prison camps of Germany and England.
In the absence of Dr. Bartholemew, who had been expected to speak to the students at yesterday’s assembly, several officers of the different student body organizations and two of the faculty advistory board gave short talks.
Dr. Rockwell D. Hunt Introduced Clifford Henderson, president of the A. S. B., as the first speaker.
“Cliff” told of the pressing need of all soldiers for something to occupy their minds. He used as a specific instance the Russian troops, telling of the work the Y. M. C. A. was doing among these men, despite the lack of funds.
"Don’t give dimes when by sacrifice you can give dollars; the men are giving their lives,” said Henderson.
Sam Stagg, president of the Y. M.
C.	A., declared:
“You are face to face with your supreme opportunity to help men live up to their highest ideals.”
Ruth Watson, president of the Y. W.
C.	A., explained the purpose of the “hostess houses” that are being built at the army camps for the use of the young women in visiting the soldiers, where, she explained, the guests would be properly chaperoned and shown how during their stay they might make themselves useful.
Dr. Roy Malcolm was the first member of the faculty to speak. He said that the religious side of the soldiers’ life was in danger of being overlooked.
Dr. John G. Hill placed great emphasis on the responsibility of American girls by saying that they were going to be one of the big factors in the task of bringing American men home clean.
"If you don’t subscribe to this work, don’t ever show your heads where we can find it out,” said Dr. Hill.
President Bovard closed the speeches by giving his hearty endorsement of the campaign and by the statement that he wished the people of U. S. C. might not only give every penny they had, but mortgage the future.
Friday’s assembly was addressed by one of the most eloquent orators that
It Was a Jonah Day For Dr. Klingberg When He Tried To Travel
BLUE AND RED EEVEN SCORES IN FINAL FRAME
Dr. Frank J. Klingberg was in a hurry to go to Santa Ana last week, incomprehensible as that may seem. Perhaps his willingness to go was due in part to the fact that he was in Pasadena. Perhaps he felt the call of duty and really wanted to teach his extension class at Santa Ana.
He boarded the Pacific Electric trolley and trusted to luck. His luck was better than that of the Japanese who was killed when the car hit his truck wagon. Shortly afterward the car ran into an automobile from which the driver had become separated. He escaped uninjured. Then, when Dr. Klingberg arrived in Los Angeles, the Santa Fe collided with a string of empty Pacific Electric cars and blocked traffic for an hour.
But the class at Santa Ana waited for Dr. Klinberg for one hour, or until the next car arrived.

T CLASS IN SOCIOLOGY
The largest extension class of the University of Southern California is reported to be the one given in Soci ology by Lecturer E. J. Lickley, Tues day evenings at the Tajo building. The class numbers 64 members and is given under the title of Juvenile Delin quency. Although it is a new course in the Department of Sociology this semester, it is attended by many of the leading teachers and educators in Los Angeles. It is a two-unit course, meeting once a week for two hours.
The instructor in the course has recently been added to the staff of the Sociology department. He holds the degree of LI. M. and of A. M. He has published several articles, and a forthcoming issue of the Sociological Monographs is to contain Mr. Lickley’s latest study, entitled "Causes of Truancy Among 1554 Boys.” Mr. Lickley is an authority on the subject of Juvenile delinquency and has an extensive manuscript on the subject In the hands of an Eastern publisher.
A unique feature of this extension class is that a shorthand reporter attends regularly and helps complete stenographic notes. It is probable that from these notes, the lectures in the course will be published.

PHARMACY 8ENIOR8 H08T8
IN SANTA MONICA HAYRIDE
Wednesday evening, the pharmacy students had the first of their two annual receptions, if reception it may be called, for the event was a jolly hay-ride to the mouth of Santa Monica canyon.
Forward Passing of Visitors Is a Big Revelation to Southerners
Inability to successfully combat the enemy’s forward passing coupled with a few breaks in the luck and two fatal cases of "paralysis of the brain,” resulted In Southern California’s defeat at the hand of St. Mary’B College on Bovard field, Saturday.
After outplaying their opponents for three quarters, the Trojant weakened against the enemy’s aerial attack and permitted left end Graff to spear a long pass from Correa and dive over the line for a touchdown. Correa converted the goal.
Though there were only about five more minutes left to play following the Saints’ score, Cromwell’s men fought like the Trojans of old in a desperate attempt to even the score. Malette took Correa’s kick-off and made a pretty dodging run to tha center of the pasture. The ball reverted to the enemy on an Intercepted pass by Correa, but was soon recaptured for General Cromwell’s men by Private Weiss. Lucas went "over the top” for eight yards, but a 16-yard penalty a moment later forced Field Marshall Malette to punt. The pigskin obligingly stopped at the enemy’B last trench, and St. Mary’s was forced to return the kick.
The ball was now on the 20-yard line. Malette fumbled and lost 15 yards. He then made a long pass which Lucas grabbed after a hard run. "Pat” had an excellent chance to score, but Toolen, who had replaced Joslin at end, became so accustomed to seeing St. Mary’s men catch the ball that he lost his head and tackled his own man.
Mallette followed with two perfect passes to Hunter, but "Turk” was unable to keep his mits on the oval either time. A successful heave to Chesnut netted five yards. This play was fallowed by a longer throw, on which Dan McMillan made a beautiful catch and shoved his way to St. Mary’s four-yard line. Here Frankie Malette, battered, bruised and desperate for a score and knowing that only a few seconds for playing remained, made his fatal error and called the signal that broke the heart of the whole University. With four downs ln which to buck four yards, he called
