IS PROMISED HE«E'S THE DOPE ON THE SIC GAME
Frosh Plan Bonfire Unprecedent in History of U. S. C. for Nightie Night
Peek-a-boo pajamas draping the
forms of the Innocent frosh men, an enormous bonfire, the burning in effigy of freshman caps, and snappy stunts are to feature the big Pajamarino to be staged tomorrow night at 7:30 on Bovard Field.
Since the war there has been no Pajamarino, and in order to make up for the lost time, every effort is being centfered on making the present I affair a huge success. This will be ; the first Pajamarino to be seen by the i majority of the students, the present senior class being the last class to observe the tradition. Not since 1917 have the flames of a Pajamarino bon-, fire risen into the dark sky above Bovard Field.
According to the old timers, the I blazes then rose up over a hundred feet skyward, illuminating the entire ITniversity district. That the Pajama-rinos have been taken in earnest in the past may be judged by the fact that more than one neighboring real estate man has been obliged to build new headquarters after some of the gone-by Thanksgiving days. The Pacific Electric, too, has similarly suffered, having to issue second orders for piles of ties which had been indiscriminately left along the air line tracks.
The frosh this year, however, are not looking upon the past Pajamarinos as models. Instead, they are determined that their wood pile will be larger than any in the past, and that the flames from the fire, some of the babes say, will reach so high that the sky will be permanntly seared. The blazes, says Harry Kennedy, the rattle wielding yell-leader, will be comparable only to those of the eternal fires of Baku.
Lowell Troutman will start off the mountain of fire. In order that the carefully laid 6ut plans may not be frustrated by designing representatives of the other Southern California institutions of higher learning, men of the freshman class will hold a sacred vigil over the wood pile at all hours tonight. The vigil will be continued tomorrow night, after the Pajamarino, until the last glowing ember turns gray.
' The material for the fire will be [ gathered by the members of the class I of '24. No restriction has been madf I as to how and where the wood shall be obtained, but special request has been made that the College of Theology be Hpared.
John Markey of Liberal Arts has entire charge of the program, in which | all the professional colleges will be represented. The Misses Roberts and Mitchell of the«Co!lege of Oratory are to be responsible for stunts, of which more will be told in tomorrow's issue of the Trojan.
Particularly fortunate is U. S. C„ according to John Markey, in obtaining for the speaker of the evening, flert Smith, U. S. C. alumnus. Another feature of the evening's events will be the nnisic, which will be furnished by the University Band and the Freshmen Jazz Orchestra. Both organizations promise quantity of volume, and speculation is rife as to the quality.
There has been some confusion as to the "pajama" phase of the party and Uwynn Wilson wants to clear up any lurking doubt on this point, and says: “It will be compulsory for all frosh men to deck themselves in pajamas; the fancier and louder the better. The frosh women may use their own discretion as to whether they should wear bifurcated nighties or not. Any fresh-man man, however, who fails to comply with this ruling will be compelled to "ear his green cap for the rest of the •enifster.’ ’
The spirit to be engendered by the “l« celebration, say leading students, •HI contribute muc htoward U. S. C.’s chances of scalping Oregon at the foot-“all fest to be staged on Paddock Held, Thanksgiving Day.

BILL LEONARD 15 GOES NUTTY WITH TURKEY DAY VICTORIES OF U.S.C.
Here Is How You Can
Help The Varsity Win
Sport Editor Juggles the Cards Ninety Miles From Nowhere fort and Shows Who's Who and Why’s What For the Most Crucial Game of Season
By Carl Farman
In two short days Coach Henderson's Trojans will engage in their crucial game of the season, when they meet the University of Oregon eleven at Tournament Park, Pasadena. Backed up by the entire student body and fighting to the last ditch, the team will test its right to play a probable post-season contest with California’s wonder eleven, which claims with apparent justice to possess the meanest bunch of players that ever surrounded a pigskin on the Pacific Coast.
That title' is at present contested by only one team: Henderson's Trojans. Day after tomorrow, after the Oregon game. Berkeley may have a clear title and it may not.
Oregon a Power
During the past week Henderson has been working his men overtime to have them in readiness for the northerners, and a very short time will tell whether success will reward him and his team or whether the lumberjacks will return with the bacon, or the planked steak, or whatever they need to have as a victor’s trophy. Oregon, though weaker than last year, Btill ranks as one of the strong teams of the coast, due to its enormous line and to the fact that All-American Bill Steers (the only man west* of Yale who ever got on any of Walter Camp’s teams) is still playing in the backfield.
For the first time this season the southern grid fans will have a chance to see what the Trojans can do when they meet with some real line plunging. So far this season, all opposing touchdowns and practically all ground gained have been on forward passes and an occasional end run. The line has been immovable and will do its best to keep up the good work on next Thursday against the northerners’ shifty line attack. >
Stanford Defeated Oregon
The question that is shouted from the hilltops and from the Liberal Arts building is: “Will the line hold?” The echo from every lpyal U. S. C. student answers, “Yea, bo!” From the north comes the faint response, “No!" Take your pick.
Ten Years, But He Still Fights Old Cardinal and Gold
PULLING FOR A SLAUGHTER
Wants Varsity, Smash, Smear, Crush and Delapidate Oregon. Shows Real Old Trojan Fight.
Tuesday the 16th.
Thirty-eight to seven! Zowy. Come on, you varsity! Come on, you U.S.C.! Eee—yow!
Who said the Cardinal and Oold were rank outsiders? Who said U.S.C. was a third rater? Who were the scoffers who were wont to burst out in loud guffaws when tentative hopes were expressed that the Trojans might have a show’ in the money?
Let me get a look at ’em. Let me reason with 'em. Allow me to present them with a merry, merry ha! ha!
U.S.C. has arrived! Yea, Bo! She has come into her own, and her own are behind her ten thousand strong.
Throop, Oxy, Pomona, Stanford and Nevada lie broken and mauled along the path of the Trojan whirlwind-— and Oregon now slated for the go by!
Come on, you varsity! Sweet Papa, come on! My earthly body is up here in God’s country, ninety miles from nowhere, but I’m telling the world that my soul is roaming around down here in the Angel City, and hovering 'round the old stamping ground out University way.
I can’t be with you in person for the Oregon struggle. Regret to say I'm not basking 'neath the smiles of the gods this anno domini. But if "pulling” is of any avail I'm the best little talisman in these U. S. of A. You hear me warble!
Clean up Oregon! Wipe ’em off the map! Send the Yellow and Lemon of the Northwest packing back to ^ielr dugouts with the acrid taste of lemon in their innards!
And then crown the Blue and Gold!
The bpst little prayer that I know of is: "O Mars, smile thou upon us, we who have these many years toiled so valiantly in they cause, in heart-breaking endeavor to 'put it across’; we who have waded through the gloom of Llcked-by-One-Polnt lo these many moons; and who at this, the last, have penetrated the pall of inky blackness, have strode forth Into the light, have

“Does She?,” Vital
Question in U. S. C.
They stood leaning against the post near the foot of the Liberal1 Arts stairs. A co-ed, dressed as only U. S. C. co-edB can dress, tripped by and started merrily up the steps.
“Two bits she does,” remarked the first male.
"Take it,” remarked the second.
As the co-ed rounded the turn and took the last step the first male turned to the second and handed over a quarter.
Another co-ed started up the stairs slowly and deliberately, “Choc Malt this one does,” remarked Mr. No. 1 and the other gent called the bet.
This continued for several co-eds— she does or she don't.
“I think lt is great w^iste of material,” quoth the first.
Whereupon the Becond agreed and orfered to bet another quarter.
A poor frosh standing near could hold his curiosity no longer and he burst gaily up to the staid upper classmen, "Say what is all this stuff about whether she does or she don’t” he chanted.
"Why your poor flsh, don’t you know, it Is whether the girl 'rolls her own’ or not!"

will be a unit in forming one letter or both. When the call for the 80UTHERN CALIFORNIA yell everyone at once places these cards on the leyel with their eyes and expose the cardinal side to the field. When the first letter S of the yell Is pronounced all students sitting on S. or S. C. seats immediately reverse their cards and hold the gold side of their cards to the field until the lat letter N has been called, then reverse to cardinal again making a solid cardinal facing to the field as the first letter C of the yell is pronounced all students sitting on C. or S. C. seats will reverse their cards turning the gold side of the card to the field and so hold It until the last letter A has been called. Then after the Oo’oo Wow has been olven all cards are to be tossed high In the air. We thank you.
Oil Bed Under
Liberal Arts?
Visions of diamonds, limousines, chorus girls, and flowing oil wells dazzled the eyes of Industrious students who appeared for eight o'clock classes yesterday when they saw slimy pools and streams of what seemed to bo petroleum oils on the floors and under the lockers In the hall in the basement of the Liberal Arts building.
Some few students of special industry waded with trousers rolled above their knees to their lockers with considerable danger to their reputation nnd at the risk of disclosing the color of their garters. Fair co-eds and brunettes as well stood on the third step from the bottom and marvelled. Several freshmen with eyes for the practical assaulted the Registrar's office demanding permanent assignments to seats in the chapel with the evident intention of either "spudding ln” for sure fire gushers or leasing proven producing ground to the Stand ard Oil company.
Fasy wealth drained from a supply of ready refined floor ol! held all enthralled. Knterprlslng late-comers in searching for new locations found that the slippery trails of the lubricant leading through the back door, the front door and up the stairway ended In nothingness.
However the hall leading to the cafeteria disclosed a colored Janitor's assistant laying a wear-proof hltullthlc pavement with the aid of a week’B accumulation of dust and a generous bucket of condemned salad oils.
All men who intend to usher at the U. S. C.-Oregon game are asked by Earle Hazelton, head usher to meet Wednesdsy, at 11:40 in room 14.

U.S.C. SPIRIT TO BE SHOWN AT PASADENA
Spectators Will Join in Fight with Yells, Pompoms, Confetti and Streamers
ROOTING
SECTION
Girls Will Do Their Part by Waving Pompoms and Cheer-ing Varsity
Elaborate new features will bn staged by tho students of U.S.C. at certain Intervals during the U.S.C.— Oregon football game at Paddock Field, Pasadena, Thanksgiving day. Stunts that will astonish the eager public und lend a true college spirit to the gridiron tussle will be furnished by the U.S.C. rooting section ln an entirely new way next Thursday.
A whole section will be reserved for holders of season tickets, the right portion of which the men shall occupy while the girls will sit on the left side. There are forty-six rows of seats ln each section and the first forty rows will be in turn reserved for men and women sitting separately.
In an Interview yesterday Gwynn Wilson said: “In order that we may form a block "S. C." in the bleachers lt Is absolutely necessary thut all the men Bit In one group. Also the women can add materially to tho stunts by sitting en masse and possessing pompoms.”
When the team comes on the field tho ontlre rooting section will rise, throwing cardinal and gold confetti ln the air. Tills performance will be repeated at the beginning of the second half with streamers being used in the place of confetti.
Detailed information concerning the block “S. C.” as lt Is to bo formed in the bleachers may be found in another /tart of thlB Trojan.
New and bushier pompoms have been made and are now on sale at the Book Exchange. They are large and better than the previous ones and will make tho girls' section one solid mass of color. Although the price has been raised to twenty cents the yell leaders report a loss on account of the amount of material used. All girls attending the game are expected to have a pompom. The fraternities have donated money for the confetti. The girls are expected to do their part by bringing pompoms to the game.
U.S.C.'s large band will be one of the striking features at the game. Members of the hand will be adorned In their new uniforms, which promise to add materially to the volume of the sound. They will aid the rooters In shoeing the spectators U.S.C. Is a "regular” college.
The enormous advance sale of seats Indicates that there will be a large number of alumni and friends of U.S.
present at the game. An entire section is to be reserved for them next to the rooting section In order that they may cheer the varsity and take part in the demonstration of the old Trojan spirit.

Jokes, pictures, humor and wit com bine to make the year's first issue of Wampus the funniest aggregation of laughs ever congregated between two covers at this institution.

Cartoons have been contributed by several. Marion Vale, art kitty of the kat, has the largest number of funny spasms of pen and ink work. Heverul other would-be McManus' have added their bit to the swelling pages of tbe kat.
Because of a disruption In the staff when Wendell Neeley resigned his position as editor and was forced to leave college because of Illness, the magazine has been delayed. Paul V.
