STORY-BOOK LAND LIVES AGAIN AI “Y”
Enrhanted mountains, sacred iprlngs. lioly temples, and miraculous virgins flitted across the screen at the T hut yesterday at noon when Miss Katherine T. Forrester of the Spanish department spoke on "Legendary Mexico," aided by colored Blides she had gathered during her residence of twelve years there.
At the invitation of Professor Schultz, the large audience boarded the train and with Miss Forrester as its guide traveled into the story book land of Mexico.
“To the foreigner,” said Miss Forrester, “the native of Mexico lives in i perpetual story book.”
On the first page of that story book that she opened to her travelers was written the ‘‘Legend of the Buried Treasure" in the convent of San Domingo in Mexico City.
“Long ago, the monks of the monastery buried treasure in the underground passages of the convent. Today a mystic senorita lives in that convent and is digging for the hidden gold. She has the power to throw herself into trance and, creeping along the noisome walls of the passages, to see the treasure,”
Legend of Volcanoes On the second page was the “Legend of the Volcanoes.”
“Guarding the City of Mexico and Its fertile valley are '.jjo volcanoes, snow-capped perepetuaily, which' the natives consider as gods. When the Alters ruled, a king, to test the fidelity of his wife^ killed her and placed her on the top of a mountain. Then he, by enchantment, changed himself into a peak and to this day is watching over her.”
Next thc guide turned to the story of the Virgin.
Story of Virgin “The Virgin of Guadalupi commanded a peasant to have a temple built in her honor. The peasant told the archbishop of his command but the archbishop demanded a sign so that he might know the truth of the peasant’s story.
“The peasant returned to the Virgin and she told him to pick the flowers that blossomed at his feet. He looked and saw roses spring from the barren hillside. He plucked them and carried them to the archbishop. But he had a greater sign than the rosea, of the Virgin, for on the blanket which he wore was painted the image of the Virgin of Guadalupi.
“The blanket hangs today in the Virgin’s temple. Also, on the spot where the peasant met the Virgin, there sprang forth a miraculous spring that heals all who drink of it.” "Beneath the tree of 'Noche Triste,’ the Sad Night, Cortez wept,” said Miss Forrester when she turned to its picture. ‘‘But history says that Cortez was in too big a hurry to weep under any tree with the Indians at his heels; it is just another symbol of a Mexican legend.”
Shows Hidalgo Showing her travelers the pictures of Hidalgo, who began the Mexican War of Independence, Benito Juarez, the man who condemned Maximillian to die, and Ex-president Diaz, one of the greatest men Mexico has producer, the guide closed her book.
Awakened from the mystic and legendary past by the click of typewriters in the adjoining room and a sudden flood of electricity, the travelers again set foot on the U. S. C. campus.
“Legendary Mexico” was the second of the series of Spanish entertainments.
fUIilRE ARTISTS IN
Enthusiastic audiences greeted “Mr. Antonio,” a four-act comedy by Booth Tarkington, presented at the Gamut Club House, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. The play was under the auspices of the College of Oratory Bnd was considered by the dramatic crtics of the University to be one of the finest pieces of work ever done by the students.
Interest of the crowd was held at a high pitch during the entire play by the remarkable acting" of the embryo stage artists and the sway of the plot.
Parti Well Done
Paul D. Howse, Jr., playing the lead of the play displayed the work of a polished actor. His dialect was perfect in all but a few unnoticeable Instances. His depiction of the Italian hurdy-gurdy man was far above the average amateur performance.
The work of Lucille Mitchell as June Ramsey was above par. She portrayed the part of the hired girl with great dramatic ability particularly In the last act when Tony is about to disclose the acts of the Mayor and Earl.
George Fancher as Joe, the halfwitted hoy, was acclaimed by all who watched his acting to have played his part in a finished manner. It was particularly difficult on account of the fact that he had very little to say but a great deal to protray by facial expression, posture and tone of voice.
Harry Kennedy as Tug and Lucy Levering, especially, entered Into her part with great enthusiasm.
Merle McGinnis as Mr. Jorney, the Mayor of Avalonia, entered into his parfc^so realistically that but for the programs, few would have recognized the industrious Y. M. worker.
Marquis Busby, a Trojan reporter, took the part of Earl, the minister's son, for its posibilities.
Elsie Mills played the part of Avalonia, the Mayor’s daughter, in an airy and dainty way which was very refreshing.
Other members of the cast did their work in a creditable manner.
The music from the College ofl\lusic was appreciated by the audience, especially the vocal solo by Ethel Snavely.
Gwynn Wilson was heard to say that it was the best play he had ever seen put on by college students.

DR. UNDLEV SPEAKS
With the selection of women models almost completed, plans for the varsity sensible dress display, to be held Friday, December 17, in the “Y” hut at 11:40 o’clock, will be perfected this afternoon.
The student committee, composed of Gwynn Wilson, A. S. B. president Grace Cooper, A. W. S. president, Paul Greene, Louise Kidson, Dorothy Cope lin, Franklin Gilbert, Willard Cooke and Charles Potter: and the faculty committee—Miss Biles, dean of wo men, and Miss York and Miss Mears of the home economics department— will meet with Mrs. Kingsbury of Rob inson’s today at 3 o’clock ln the chapel.

Men Slow The list of women who will repre sent tlie University is almost complete However, few names of men have been turned in to the committee.
Each fraternity should select one representative while Comitia and Aris to Literary Societies should select two non-frat representatives.
“This seems to be the only prac-tical basis for selection ,” say those in charge of the display. “We hope that we have chosen a satisfactory method for selecting models. The number of persons to be used is comparatively few and there had to be some basis of selection.”
Those responsible for the selection of the men models are requested to hand in names to Wilson or Greene as soon as possible.
List of Women The latest list of women models Is as follows:
Alphi Chi Omega—Margaret Heeb Beta Phi—Marian Buckman. Delta Pi —Dorothy Hunt. Delta Psi Kappa Marion Cook. Iota Sigma Theta— Nima Norman. Pi Beta Phi—Dorothy Copelin.

The appointment of the popular head of the political department of U. S. C. to so live a position in muni cipal activities as the new civic secre taryshlp of the Los Angeles City Club, must please every loyal student and graduate of the University. While we regret his departure, it is nice to know thut he is not lost to the institution as an active personality.
Pleasant aB Los Angeles is to the resident and to tbe tourist, tt has hitherto been lacking in what may be termed civic consciousness. People here seem to remain Iowans or Dakotans, and to think and act without a due sense of a common responsibility which centers iu our municipal boards. The City Club, recognizing this lack, has been ln the habit of inviting men and women who have made a name ln the solution of political, social and economic problems, to address the club. But it desires to extend this privilege in a systematic way, and the duty will fall especially on its civic secretary. Also the Open Forum work muBt be enlarged ln its scope1 important matters have to be ventilated, and the community roused to discuss them.
With this and other ends in view, it proposes to have a club bulletin, which shall discuss such matters ln a liberal yet constructive manner. Here again it will call upon the services of its civic secretary. It is a grand opportunity for high service to the community. By ideals and special training our Doctor Roy Malcom is eminently fitted for the responsible post. May be have health and strength and hearty co-operation ln the discharge of his onerous new duties!

LAW STUDENT WINS BARKER BROS. PRIZE
Allen G. Siple, a law student, was awarded flrst prize hi the vacuum cleaner contest recently conducted under the direction of P. C. Copeland, of the vacuum cleaning department at Barker Bros, and Marc N. Goodnow, head of the journalism and advertising department.
Carl Farman, the Trojan sport edlltor, won the second prize, and Marlon Vale, art editor of Wampus and assistant art editor for the El Rodeo, took third prize.

Seniors from the College of Phar nary triumphed over the Juniors In football game yesterday morning on Bovard field by a 21-6 score, thereby earning the right to hold the coveted Schlotte loving cup which, however, must remain in the institution Two weeks ago the juniors defeated the seniors by a 21-6 score in a baseball game at Catalina Island.
Inexperience and lack of training was apparent on every hand. Like be wlHered freshmen, the players hesi tated ,to clasp the pigskin which the varsity men love to fondle. After forward pass failed, the men on each plde scrambled for possession of tho ball, only to find that lt was returned to its former position. When yards were made in two downs, members

Of broom-corn ln Eden the scrolls report no word: Eve kept no house. Among the anthropoids, still are the records inute.
Concerning Polyphemus, the Cyclo-pum, an ancient fact Is preserved: he swept the classic prison-cave with his bundle of cedar brush. And therewith, be it known, he wielded the genetic broom!
But the world did not wait for the invention of Cyclops. The floors of Adam’s Garden were policed by a power of earlier and nobler genesis, namely, the good wind which stirred on the flrst morning, and troubled the face of the deep! This was the broom of the first times: tills was the sweeper of housewife Eve.
Down through the gussed aeons of unrecorded time has come this peer of broomB—the simple and common wind. It has swept the courts of tbe Ptolemy kings; lt haB cleared the door-yards of the doughty Norsemen; this monarch, omnipotent among sweepers, has swept the sea of every ship, piled high the saiidB of Sahara, lifted aud Juggled the leaves of Autumn, laid low and carried far away whole forests, and flocks, and towns.
Evidenced at every hand as a cleaner whom no dirt can defeat, how surprising it Is that man has delayed until this late age in its harnessing! That housewives should continue to beat and belabor tlieir tloor-covers with brushes and sticks, while hurrying winds of the Bky might do the task with ease and economy. iThis is the poetry of the OHIO-TUEC. The draftsmen who conceived and achieved this final triumph worked upon nothing more than the time old proposition t,hat wind is the best cleaning agent. The broom of tbe Cyclopes worked well ln a primitive avern. but for soft Wiltons and the fine farics of modern homes a breeze of air is better.
To this end the OHIO-TUEC was equipped with a vacuum fan more powerful than any yet devised Moving some fifty-three cubic feet of air in a single minute, no dirt either on the surface, or ln the nap, or on tbe floor beneath can withstand the suction. With a pad and pencil you may compute that If every person in Los Angeles were to operate an OHIO-TUEC simultaneously, the aggregate uctions thus created would equal a nine h u n d r e d-fifty mile an hour gale

Staid
Professors To Make Merry
Staid members of the august faculty, meek members of the staid body and all others who are called professor by the frosh, will rejoice, make merry and in general enjoy themselves week from tonight at the Y hut. The occasion will be the annual fac ulty Christmas party and (ho commit tee in charge have arranged a program that will be the envy of tho manager of the Dent Minstrels.
The evening will commence with $1.00 dinner in the cafeteria at 6:30 o'clock. All persons who intend being in on the dinner are requested to sign the reservation card in the hall Those who call not be present for the dinner are requested to be at the hi jinks and the Christmas tree that evening. The fun will commence at 7:30 P. M.
Every member of the merry faculty Ib expected to bring a present for the tree, anything ranging from a rattle to a model of a Ford being allowed, all the dainty little things being later dispensed from the Christmas tree.
The committee reports that a ”stu pendous” program will be “rendered” by the men of the faculty. The program will include a minstrel overture, the simp-phony orchestra, Madame Squalle, Signor Ha-Ha, the dance of the nymphs, the crazy quartet, the strung bean or a Roman tragedy.
The footnote says that “All mem bers of the Faculty Family are Invoted.”
GAMMA EP'S TEAM GO DOWN UNDER
Living up to advance notices in the second of the inter-fraternlty matches, Phi Alpha's slippery casaba five, with three Butterfields in the lineup, smeared the Gamma Eps in the gymnasium Wednesday afternoon by tho score of 36 to 6. Try as they might, the G. E.'s were unable to spread any butter on the floor; ln fact, one brand or another was always getting Into the Gamma Epsilon engine with dire results ln a scoring line. The Phi Alpha team was better balanced than that of their opponents, and although one or two of the latter showed up strong th.'oughovit the game, they were outclassed by their lack of passing and shooting ability. Gene Wolfe was fhe best man on the loser’s five, while Howard Butterfield, ut center for the victors, scored the most baskets of the day.
8coring Heavy at 8tart
The scoring was heavy In the flrst half, Phi Alpha gathering ln 26 points while the G. E. pumpkin tossers mude two baskets for a total of four points. In the second half substitutions were frequent with the play ijoiisiderably slower than at the Btart. Tho Phi A. team work was superior throughout, and with such experienced tnen as Axe, Ott and the Butterfields ln the lineup they were easily able to get and maintain a decisive lead. The Gamma Epsilon quintet showed evidence of lack of playing together which told against them ln spite of their consistent, though losing, fight against superior material. Baker, Tarr, Van Dyke and Vesterguard made up the G. E team. Leo Calland refereed In a satisfactory manner.
Phi Alpha’s showing was scarcely up to that of the /ekes in Tuesday's match, but their team Is undoubtedly one that will make the latter hustle to come out at the long end of the score. Next Monday will see this game.
Theta Psi vs. Phi Delta Chi
This afternoon at 5 o'clock ln the gym, Theta Psi, winner of their match with Zeta Beta Tau by default, la scheduled to play the Phi Delta Chi outfit in the last of the preliminaries With Boyle and Jimmy Smith ln tbe lineup, the Thetes should throw a strong basketball team on the field of action, and while the pharmacy bunch Is more or less of an unknown quail tlty, casahlcally speaking, they will doubtless have a quintet on the floor determined to upset ull previous dope
Yesterday Sigma Tau and Sigma Chi clashed, with the result coming ln too late for this Issue of the Trojan
of the opposite learn could not under-stsnd why their opponents should have flrst down without finishing the four allotted to them, etc.
Juniors Fumble Within the flrst few minutes of the play the juniors fumbled the ball. Effinger recovered it and ran for a touchdown. Hunter converted. The two teams then battled In the middle of tbe field until nearly the end of the first quarter when the seniors forced their way to within one yard of the juniors’ goal. Here the junior lino held. The seniors failed to make downs und a poor punt of the Juniors rolled back of their line. Menln, captain of the senior team, recovered the ball. The referee called It a touchdown and Hunter again converted. Score 14-0.
The second quarter was marked by long, sensational end runs by both teams. Again and again Boree, Rlck-tcr, or Perdue, made large gains for the Juniors. Effinger and Hunter carried the pill effectually for the seniors. Finally Perdue, through n fake play, made a touchdown from an end run. Hickter failed to convert.
During the third quarter no touchdowns were made, but otherwise it was patterned after the second quarter. Tattered shreds of civilian garbs could hardly be recognized; a baseball suit was worn by one player, an outing suit by another, still others had patched together buttered remnants of old football days.
Girls Root Every time a brilliant play was made, Pharmacy girls screeched forth their glee from the grandstands. Liberal Arts spectators swarmed on to the field, oftentimes going mid-way between the two goals.
The seniors milled during tho last quarter and forced their opponents perlously near their line, but the Juniors got possession of the bull, started a march down the Held, fumbled the bull and the seniors recovered. In tills scramble the juniors were penalied fifteen yards for stepping on McCaffrey’B feet. Before the game arrangements were made that no one should trod on "Mac’s” corns.
In the last few minutes of play, Effinger crossed the junior goal for the final touchdown which was converted. Score 21-6.
Swede Evans, captain of this year’s varsity team, coached the seniors. Boree trained the Juniors. Leadingham wbb referee.

One of the niftiest gifts I have ever heard of,” said Willard Cooke, business manager of The Trojan, speaking of the California theater gift ticket
books.
Thu books contain tickets that allow entrance at the door without waiting ln line, and are attractively bound and held together. One of the strongest features of the books is the idea of always having tickets for a show.

They come ln various sizes, starting with $1.50 worth of tickets and ranging upward.
