T.
TROPHY 10 U.S.C.
Opposing Coach Protested Orator Had Used Another’* Speech; Dual Role.
Bringing the silver cup. the trophy of the Southern California Inter-Collegiate Oratorical Association, once more to U. S. C., Albert T. Freeman was awarded first honors, although accused by tlie coach of one of the other contestants of using an oration given and printed in the east by another speaker, in the annual contest held last Thursday in Alumni Hall, Occidental College.
Freeman was the choice not only of the judges on thought and composition and on delivery, but the audience, composed of delegations from six other southland colleges, in tlie hour or more spent in waiting the decision of the judges, admitted in his superiority in cheering and chaffing.
Asked to Withdraw
Herbert Heubner, appointed to rep resent Merle McGinnis, the U. S. C. member of the association, says regarding the accusations which were made, "The coach of Thomas Erwin,
the
entrant from Whittier College,
made a statement to the officers of the association that he had read the ora-''on. -The Plea of the American In-in printed form, elsewhere, and asked me, as the U. S. C. representa-'ve, to withdraw from the contest be-ore the charges were made public, •'leedless to say the charges were unfounded

Sara Taft Somers will prepare the malted milks. Lucy Landau will serve and eat French past'ry. Al Wesson says that he will spill the beans.
Though there is question as to the necessity of music to accompany the meals during the soup courses, nevertheless, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon melody boys will dispense some harmony during the noon hour. The Sig Alph musical organization is credited with having a trombone that is an orchestra by itself.
W’aruing is given that it will be ad-isable to don a rubber rain coat before seating at a table. High collars will be effective in protecting the neck from hot soup.
Service will start promptly at seven in the morning, when Carl Farman. Trojan editor ’21-’22, in capacity of head waiter, will formally open the doors of the College Inn.
Prices the Same, But—
Prices are supposed to be the same as usual, but in view of the financial condition of the Trojan, Charles Paddock advises in advance that students count their change. Charlie Dean will be at the cash register, while Paddock attends the classes he has all ready overcut. Dean is said to have bought a ranch In Calexico with the extra money he made last summer while employed as a cashier, and he has promised to do his best in the interest of the Trojan.
Negotiations have been under way to secure the sorvices -of Berg Lyon for headliner on the cabaret program planned. If Lyon should consent, he will read Hamlet’s soliloquy.
“In order to accommodate all,” said Mr. Starr yesterday, "it will be necessary for many students to eat earlier or later than the usual noon lunch hour. In view of the benefits which will be derived by the Trojan, which is a student publication, students would do well to co-operate by avoiding the rush.”

Both sophomores and freshmen of the university are all agog over coming class elections to be held Friday, May 27. These two classes, that is. if everything goes right, will be juniors and sophomores next year, have nominated twenty-three of their numbers for the various class offices, which will be vacant at the end of this college year. *
The sophomores lead in the number nominated, due to the positions of editor and business manager of the 1923 El Rodeo.
Hold Nominations Same Time
While the freshmen were loudly cheering their nominees in the chapel, the sophomore class held their nominations before a meager gathering of enthusiastic juniors-elect. LeRoy Wolfe and Max Chamberlain are out for the junior presidency. Both have been considerably in evidence the past two years and are well known in the present sophomore class. Because of no competition, Helen Campbell was elected vice-president last Friday. Two fair co-eds, whose names are Ruth Cordes and Helen Brockett, have announced their desire to take minutes at meetings and other diverse duties that go with the position of secretary.
Three youths have qualified for the handling of the finance of the class. Berg Lion, Roland Maxwell and Rodney Wright were nominated for treasurer.
Editor Race Again
Next year's editorship of El Rodeo will fall upon either Sarah Taft Somers or Al Wesson. Both are members of the Trojan staff, and have had experience in the editing line.
As for business manager, both Lowell Jesson and L. Kling Stoddard are on the Trojan staff, and have outside business experience of various kinds.
Freshmen Nominate
The sophon.ores-elect have nominated Harry Kennedy and Harold Williamson for the presidency. The former has made a name for himself, leading tlie yells, while Williamson made the freshmen tennis team and was also manager of the tennis club. The final reckoning day for these two illustrious freshmen Is next Friday, when elections will be held.
Three youthful ladieB are in the ruce for vice-president, Elsie Mills, Alice Ingram and Gertrude Street.
The next year’s secretary Job will be filled by either Nurma Whiteside, Elizabeth Kemp and Anne Winchers. According to reports, all are capable of writing ehgbly and are said to be popular in the class, which should make the race very close.
Arnold Eddy and Ed Gordon are out for the "money” Job. Either are said to be capable of keeping money in their pockets long enough to buy nourishment and other necessities of life whjch should recommend them as earnest economists.
ELECT TRACK CAPTAIN
Track captain for next year will be •jlecti'd In Coach Dean Cromwell's sanctorium at 11:40 Friday. Every cinderpath artist is urged to be pres ent.
Home Base Runners Smear California Teck and S. B. U. C. Ready for On-Comers.
PLAY POMONA AGAIN
Chance to Avenge Loss to Sagehens; Locals Prepared for Stiff Battle.
Following clean-cut victories over two southern college nines in the past week, California Tech and the S. B. U. C. having been smeared by them, the Cardinal and Gold nine Is all ready for the final games of the season. The first of these is with Occidental and takes place at Exposition Park this afternoon at 4 o’clock. The last game of the season comes next Tuesday, the day after Memorial Day. It will be played with Pomona on the local park grounds, and will afford the Trojans a chance for revenge from their loss to the Sagehens about a month ago out at Claremont.
Today’s game promises to be a speedy affair, and with the Tigers out for blood, and the Trojans out for victory, it will undoubtedly be full enough of snappy play to satisfy the University’s diamond haunters. Predictions are scarcely in order, but the ledger should chalk up a favorable balance for the llenderson-Hunter nine after the last play has been made, provided they play up to their usual standard.
Real Fireworks on Tuesday
Next Tuesday, however, should see the best game of the season. The Sagehens are easily the Southern California Conference champs, and they have defeated the U. S. C. team once this year by a decisive margin. Tuesday, the Trojans will be on tlieir home grounds and will have a knowledge of the kind of outfit they .are up against. These facts, combined with a little timely hitting on their part, should Just about even up the chances and make for even money on the two teams. A big turnout of rooters should also help them to put up the best battle of the season, and from all indications the Sagehens are due to be roughly handled, whether they win or not.
Varsity Club Initiates
Tuesday will be an exceptionally big day for the athletes of the University, for on that date the Varsity Club, the goal of all ham athletes, will hold itn semi-annual public initiation In con | nection with the Pomona S. C. game. Last year a number of freak stunts were indulged in by the neophytes which kept tho spectators howling ln glee for the duration of the performance. This year different activities are promised by Coach Henderson and the initiation committee, but tile de gree of interest Is guaranteed to be kept at a liigli pltcl .
Last fall lt will be remembered that Johnny Boyle was placed at the corner of Vermont and Jefferson, in a Mexican general’s uniform, and forced to direct traffic during part of thft afternoon. Reserves from the University Police Station finally forced him to leave his job, but not until it was unanimously agreed that the initiation had been a heart-rending success.
The main attraction of the day is. of course, the game. Hunter’s squad has been working more smoothly In the last couple of weeks than at any former time, and with the infield having plenty of material to choose from, and the outfield making fewer errors than earlier in the season, there Is no doubt that I’omona is going to have her hands full in trying to drag down the spoils of victory, especially If the Trojans take a notion to swing things their own way.
Manual Arts Auditorium
Scene of Much Activity
After months of preparation, every- the lead, while Merle McGinnis was to
thing is in readiness for the flrst curtain of "Sidney Carton,” the Junior play, which will be presented in the Manual Arts auditorium tonight.
For the first time in the history of the University, the annual junior play was written by a member of the class "Sidney Carton” is a dramatization by Charles Paddock of the immortal "Tale of Two Cities." Paddock has written several dramatizations and original plays under the tutelage of John Steven McGoarty, author of the “Mission Play,”
Old France Depicted For a few hours tonight the glory and tragedy of old France will be reenacted on the Manual stage. The guillotine will again be enacted in the village square. Thrones will totter, and the tribunal will sit in Judgment. Probably no other period of history offers as colorful a background as the French Revolution. Dickens wove realism into his novel, and instilled in his characters the breath of life. Charles Paddock has retained all the original, gripping situations in his dramatization.
Three Characters Pedominate Briefly, the play hinges about a triangle of characters, two men who hear a striking resemblance to one another, and a young English girl, detained In Paris during the darkest hours of the revolution.
Three acts and seven scenes are required to cover the action of the play. Principal sceneB are laid In and around Paris. Costuming is to be very elaborate. Some of the costumes seen in the Clara Kimball Young feature, “Straight From Paris,” will be used. According to reports, a $10,000 insurance is carried on the outlay
Not for many years has a dramatl zation of the Dicken’s novel been seen on stage. Half a decade ago Wm. Fox screened the story with Wm. Furnum playing a dual role. Blanche Bates toured the country several years ago in the role of Lucy Manette. In fact so difficult Is the play, that a production is rarely given. However, such unusual talent existed In the Junior class that the play committee decided upon a more serious production "Green Stockings," a comedy, was presented last year.
Few Seatt. Left According to Larrbert Baker, a few god seats are still to bo obtained Many organizations have reserved block seats, and will attend In a body Three changes have been made In the play cast. Originally, Charles Paddock was cast as Sidney Carton,
play his counterpart, Charles Darnay. Appearing tonight in the male stellar roles will be Grant Kuhns, as Sidney Carton, and Carlyle Scott as Charles Darnay. Merle McGinnis will appear as Dr. Manette. Paul Greely waa formerly cast for this part.
Great Array of Talent
Probably the campus will never see a greater array of dramatic talent than will appear tonight. Every role offers unusual opportunities to the young Thespians.
Sidney Carton lives again in Grant Kuhns, who will wear the doublet and hose of the old nobleman.
Darnay, so brave In times of danger, and so dauntless ln the face of disaster, will be conjured up from the past. Carlyle Scott Is cast as the gallant lover.
As for the leading lady with the golden hair and blue eyes, Dorothy Barnhart will he Lucy Manette.
Merle McGinnis, remembered from “Mister Antonio,” will play the character role of old Dr. Manette. Critics place this role as the best character bit ln the play.
Sarah Stoneham plays Miss Pross; Eva Hlacker Is Madame Do Farge; Mr. Lowery Is played by Marvin Douglas.
Humor Is provided throughout the play by Miss Pross, Jerry Cruncher and Young Jerry.

Following clean-cut victories over two southern college nines in the past week, California Tech and the S. B. U. C. having been smeared by them, the Cardinal and Gold nine Is all ready for the final games of the season. The first of these is with Occidental and takes place at Exposition Park this afternoon at 4 o’clock. The last game of the season comes next Tuesday, the day after Memorial Day. It will be played with Pomona on the local park grounds, and will afford the Trojans a chance for revenge from their loss to the Sagehens about a month ago out at Claremont. Today’s game promises to be a speedy affair, and with the Tigers out for blood, and the Trojans out for victory, it will undoubtedly be full enough of snappy play to satisfy the University’s diamond haunters. Predictions are scarcely in order, but the ledger should chalk up a favorable balance for the llenderson-Hunter nine after the last play has been made, provided they play up to their usual standard. Real Fireworks on Tuesday Next Tuesday, however, should see the best game of the season. The Sagehens are easily the Southern California Conference champs, and they have defeated the U. S. C. team once this year by a decisive margin. Tuesday, the Trojans will be on tlieir home grounds and will have a knowledge of the kind of outfit they .are up against. These facts, combined with a little timely hitting on their part, should Just about even up the chances and make for even money on the two teams. A big turnout of rooters should also help them to put up the best battle of the season, and from all indications the Sagehens are due to be roughly handled, whether they win or not. Varsity Club Initiates Tuesday will be an exceptionally big day for the athletes of the University, for on that date the Varsity Club, the goal of all ham athletes, will hold itn semi-annual public initiation In con nection with the Pomona S. C. game. Last year a number of freak stunts were indulged in by the neophytes which kept tho spectators howling ln glee for the duration of the performance. This year different activities are promised by Coach Henderson and the initiation committee, but tile de gree of interest Is guaranteed to be kept at a liigli pltcl . Last fall lt will be remembered that Johnny Boyle was placed at the corner of Vermont and Jefferson, in a Mexican general’s uniform, and forced to direct traffic during part of thft afternoon. Reserves from the University Police Station finally forced him to leave his job, but not until it was unanimously agreed that the initiation had been a heart-rending success. The main attraction of the day is. of course, the game. Hunter’s squad has been working more smoothly In the last couple of weeks than at any former time, and with the infield having plenty of material to choose from, and the outfield making fewer errors than earlier in the season, there Is no doubt that I’omona is going to have her hands full in trying to drag down the spoils of victory, especially If the Trojans take a notion to swing things their own way. Manual Arts Auditorium Scene of Much Activity After months of preparation, every- the lead, while Merle McGinnis was to thing is in readiness for the flrst curtain of "Sidney Carton,” the Junior play, which will be presented in the Manual Arts auditorium tonight. For the first time in the history of the University, the annual junior play was written by a member of the class "Sidney Carton” is a dramatization by Charles Paddock of the immortal "Tale of Two Cities." Paddock has written several dramatizations and original plays under the tutelage of John Steven McGoarty, author of the “Mission Play,” Old France Depicted For a few hours tonight the glory and tragedy of old France will be reenacted on the Manual stage. The guillotine will again be enacted in the village square. Thrones will totter, and the tribunal will sit in Judgment. Probably no other period of history offers as colorful a background as the French Revolution. Dickens wove realism into his novel, and instilled in his characters the breath of life. Charles Paddock has retained all the original, gripping situations in his dramatization. Three Characters Pedominate Briefly, the play hinges about a triangle of characters, two men who hear a striking resemblance to one another, and a young English girl, detained In Paris during the darkest hours of the revolution. Three acts and seven scenes are required to cover the action of the play. Principal sceneB are laid In and around Paris. Costuming is to be very elaborate. Some of the costumes seen in the Clara Kimball Young feature, “Straight From Paris,” will be used. According to reports, a $10,000 insurance is carried on the outlay Not for many years has a dramatl zation of the Dicken’s novel been seen on stage. Half a decade ago Wm. Fox screened the story with Wm. Furnum playing a dual role. Blanche Bates toured the country several years ago in the role of Lucy Manette. In fact so difficult Is the play, that a production is rarely given. However, such unusual talent existed In the Junior class that the play committee decided upon a more serious production "Green Stockings" a comedy, was presented last year. Few Seatt. Left According to Larrbert Baker, a few god seats are still to bo obtained Many organizations have reserved block seats, and will attend In a body Three changes have been made In the play cast. Originally, Charles Paddock was cast as Sidney Carton, play his counterpart, Charles Darnay. Appearing tonight in the male stellar roles will be Grant Kuhns, as Sidney Carton, and Carlyle Scott as Charles Darnay. Merle McGinnis will appear as Dr. Manette. Paul Greely waa formerly cast for this part. Great Array of Talent Probably the campus will never see a greater array of dramatic talent than will appear tonight. Every role offers unusual opportunities to the young Thespians. Sidney Carton lives again in Grant Kuhns, who will wear the doublet and hose of the old nobleman. Darnay, so brave In times of danger, and so dauntless ln the face of disaster, will be conjured up from the past. Carlyle Scott Is cast as the gallant lover. As for the leading lady with the golden hair and blue eyes, Dorothy Barnhart will he Lucy Manette. Merle McGinnis, remembered from “Mister Antonio,” will play the character role of old Dr. Manette. Critics place this role as the best character bit ln the play. Sarah Stoneham plays Miss Pross; Eva Hlacker Is Madame Do Farge; Mr. Lowery Is played by Marvin Douglas. Humor Is provided throughout the play by Miss Pross, Jerry Cruncher and Young Jerry. EXAMINATION SCHEDULE Saturday, June 11............. 9:00*12 A.M. 1:30-4.30 P.M. Monday, June 13..............
