The Southern California Bring More Books 2000 Are Wanted Debate Tryouts April 11 Anocittrd Student*, University of Southern California Vol. IX Los Angeles, California, Tuesday, March 26, 1918 No. 37 25 CANDIDATES SIGN UP FOR BASEBALL NINE Many Former Prep Diamond Stars Among Liberal Arts Students GRADUATE STUDENTS MUST PAY DUES MAURER HEADS MOVE Many Good Games In View for Team If Organized Twenty-five students, headed by George Maurer, star southpaw pitcher of last year’s varsity nine, are making a final attempt to have baseball reestablished as a recognized sport at U. S. C. The men, including in their ranks many former prep, stars, met in the training quarters last week, and talked over the prospects with Coach Cromwell. The coach, while not an ardent supporter of baseball, is not opposed to the organization of a nine, inasmuch as all practice and games would be held at Exposition park. The players expect to furnish their own outfits and are asking the University athletic board for an appropriation not to exceed one hundred dollars to be used for purchasing baseballs. It is hoped that arrangements may be made whereby the uniforms used by last year’s team may be again put into service. Among the candidates for a possible baseball varsity are two good pitching prospects in Maylor and Maurer. Maylor has done considerable twirling in the local semi-pro ranks. Recently, It is said, he struck out sixteen men in one game. Maurer’s ability is well-known to local fans. Before playing the U. S. C. team he occupied the mound for the University high school and the Manual Arts nine. He has also played on independent amateur teams. Haygood Ardis, last year with the Downey high school team, and Ram-sell, of Chaffey Union appear to be capable backstops. Ardis has also held down infield positions at various times. Graduate Students please see one of the following at once and pay their $0.25 assessment for space in “Stare Decisis.” Must be paid by Friday, March 29th. Those who failed to pay their $0.25 dues last semester, please pay up at once. MINNIE HIMROD, MARION NICHOLSON, EILEEN O’NEILL, RUTH HINSDALE, GRETCHEN UHL, EARL DAVIS, LLOYb HALSTED. WINS ADMIRATION Clickety-click, went the feet as they clattered on the improvised platform in chapel this morning. “In chapel?” says some one. “Yes,” answers a freshman. "Didn’t you know about the Y. M. C. A. hut program they had this morning at chapel? Why Roy Johnson jigged. “Tony” Brewster gave an original reading, Raymond Beebe did a clever sleight-of-hand trick, why he even stuck a knife straight through a perfectly good linen handkerchief. The boys in the hut (chapel annex) looked so natural sitting around the table, writing letters home (when they weren’t picking themselves off from the floor due to certain activities of their chairs, prompted by the other fellows. Hats flew through the air and sometimes landed beyond recall in the audience. Homer Simmons played— so did a couple of the Y. M. boys. Everybody had a chance to sing. After we had laughed and laughed,, temporary secretary Karl Seitter introduced Chunk” Hill, Y. M. secretary, now in active service, who talked confidentially to everybody for fifteen minutes about the part the hut programs take in the lives of the boys in the training camps and abroad, during the trying times when the boys are preparing to go over the top. _ “FRIENDLY BUNCH" SPEND WEEK-END AT MOUNTAIN CABIN WITH DR. J. G. HILL The “Friendly Bunch” of Liberal Arts, a group of girls who sometimes get lonely and like company, spent the week-end at Dr. John Hill’s cabin In the mountains, Dr. and Mrs. Hill were the chaperons as well as the hosts of the occasion. The twenty-one girls indulged in all sorts of sports, not the least of which was eating, they Bay. The girls are to have lunch with Mary Stagg today at noon. UNIVERSITY BAND MEETS TONIGHT IN CHAPEL ANNEX The University band will hold a rehearsal in chapel annex at 7:30 o'clock today.

Books of all sizes and descriptions have been donated by the students. Everything from old dog-eared copies of Spanish grammars, which kept their donors up nights trying to learn the cases, to the newest books on the present war, have been donated to the soldiers’ library. The books with the largest circulation among the Sammies are those retailing the experiences the soldier readers will face shortly. Knowing this, the university has donated 10 volumes of “Over the Top,” by Sergeant Arthur Guy Empey, and the same number of “Private Pete.” The books are all to go directly to Camp Kearny to help fill the shelves of the large new library erected there. Ralph Heywood Chosen Editor ‘El Rodeo ‘19’ LIBERAL ARTS WOMEN MAY MAKE WAR-FUND PAYMENTS TO CORA ANDERSON AT Y. W.

Long Awaited Miracle, a Speechless Woman, Due Wednesday Afternoon WAR INVIGORATES UNIVERSITY MEN “Instead of sleepy youths Btrolling along the streets with their hands ln their pockets, one sees to-day on the college walks youths of alert expression, vigorous gait, erect carriage, and a general appearance of purpose and dignity.” Thus Mrs. Arthur T. Hadley, wife of the president of Yale University, compares the college man before the war and the purposeful student of today.

I am told that the change Is noticeable in the class rooms. There is more alertness and more attentiveness.

Tryouts for the parts are to be held in Athena hall, Friday at 11:40. Watch bulletin board for particulars. It is truly pathetic that the men of the University are to be denied the privilege of seeing some of the fair sex when they are absolutely speechless.
