Tonight at 8:00 o’clock the Trojan quintet will meet the L. A. A. C. basketball squad on the tatter's gym for the second match between the two this-season. The varsity dropped the first game by a 28-17 score, the sterling defense of the Blue and White giving them a decisive advantage over tt less polished work of Henderson’s men although the latter played an aggressive game which gave them the lead at times. A return match was keenly desired at the time, and now the casaba fans are to have their wish this evening in the final clash between the two. as the Athletic Club squad Is making a trip East to enter into na tional competition.
L. A. A. C. Record Is Best On the face of things, the Blue and White has all the advantage. Their squad has not lost a game this season, except to the U. of C. varsity, and the second game between the two was an Athletic Club victory. The Trojans have a good record against all their college opponents, having defeated va rious conference teams, but against the L. A. A. C. and against the Y C. A. fives, they were unable to hold their own, going down to defeat both cases. Now they are out for re venge against the strongest quintet Southern California, and the specta tors are assured of a pleasantly gory hour of goal tossing.
The regulars to start the game w probably be Hinrichs at center, Kuhns and Boeck forwards, and Axe and Gra ham guards. Undoubtedly they w furnish all the fight in the world, but the question of how far they will sue ceed in overcoming the able basket shooting and masterly defense of their opponents is yet to be Seen. Tonight will tell the tale.
Floor Waxed As an additional attraction it rumored that the Athletic Club has waxed the floor of the gym—not alto gether for the benefit of the players It is also hinted that several of the club members and also a number of the students will bring their ladies to the game. The admission price is 50 cents a head.

After a nerve-shattering stamina-sapping week of storms, the good ship Trojan Is again on her voyage. Her crew has been augmented by many new arrivals ln the Btudent body.
Queening is again the major sport of the campus, with the majority of the student body taking an active interest in the fray. Once more the fair, luscious co-eds hold court In the cars along University avenue.
Spring Building Resumed The ponies groomed so carefully for the recent battle of wits have been turned out to pasture to await the coim ing of the second pestilence, scheduled for Jun. A cheerful hum of what she wore last night, and “I sez to him, sez Is wafted from the library. No more is there a mad rush for collateral books, and the spiders have resumed their spring building plans on the shelves.
Dark thunder clouds still hang about the campus, threatening the voyage of the Trojan. Many were the fair co-eds and gallant line plungers that received little valentines, consisting of graceful “D's,” petite “F’s,” “inc’s,” conditions, and on down the list. It is reported that the faculty had to call extra sessions to make out the list of flunking students. Thunder clouds are treatening but rarely dangerous, and brisk trade winds are guaranteed to blow them away.
Trojan Corrects Error To the brand new students on the Trojan passenger list who are likely to become seasick in the maze of new faces and events, the old-timers wish to extend a welcoming hand over the rough places. Some playful sophomore ha$ been telling the new pea greeners that the chemistry building is the woodshed. The Trojan hastens to correct the error and defend the magnificent structure.
So, with a final call of the ship siren, the anchor iB lifted and' the Trojan leaves her docks. Weather reports point to a pleasant voyage to tho final moorings, the Post of June.
Bon Voyage

"The purpose of this scholarshl) fund,” stated Betty Hughes, president of Pan-Hellenic, “is to make lt pobbI ble for some worthy girl to obtain t college education.”
Miss Hughes further stated: "It Is the desire of the Inter-sorority council that this scholarship will not be limited to fraternity women who are able very often to secure help from their own organizations, but that it will help any worthy girl who will need financial aid In going through college.
That the establishing of a perpetual scholarship fund has been the desire of the Pan-Hellenic council has been known for some time, but it was not until two years ago that definite steps were taken. 'I’he full amount of the holarship is 12,000 and it is the wish the sororities that a substantial sum •an be raised toward it this year.
Candy sales given by the various sorority members started the fund.
aBt year a dance was given which brought the amount up to three hun-j dred dollars. This year Pan-Hellenic planning a vaudeville ’Every sorority will contribute something to thw entertainment.' stated Miss Hughes.
Kach organization can decide uiwn just what kind of a number it wishes to give, and all expenses and respon sibility involved in it will be assumed by the individual sororities giving It The following are the sororities which belong to Pan Hellenic and will contribute to the vaudeville: Alpha Chi Omega, Beta Phi, Chi Delta Phi, Delta PI, Kappa 41pha Theta, Pi Beta Phi, Phi Mu, Zeta Tau Alpha and Iota Sigma Theta The committee selected to take charge of the arrangements regarding the entertainment is composed of Groce Lowden.

Friday morning at 11:40 the first rally of the new semester will be held in chapel. At this time U. S. C.’s two greatest sportB, football and track, will |"S!iake hands and occupy positions of epual importance before the university. The sweaters awarded all winners of the golden S. C. on the gridiron last fall, In a season unmarred by defeat, will be publicly presented to the players who composed the team which made its brilliant record against some of the strongest teams In the west. In addition to this record of past victories. the rally will be to generate enthusiasm for the Trojan representatives at the A. A. U. relay championships to be held the next day, Saturday. at 2 P. M., on Paddock Field, Pasadena.
Many Men at Carnival The relay carnival, as it is commonly known, Is an annual track meet, held under the uusplces of the A. A. U. ln Southern California. The emphasis is on the track events, although there are also the pole vault and high Jump, and only six of the sixteen events are open, the remainder being limited to high schools of various degrees of importance, athletically speaking. Definite arrangements as to who will nnd will not run, have not been complete . by Coach Cromwell as yet, due to the wealth of relay material which has pre sented itself for his inspection and are. but there is little doubt that two or three teams will run In the 8-man mile relay.
Three Entrants in Century The open 100-yard dash will doubt less prove of importance In dragging out practically all of the Southland speediest tracksters. A junior at U S. C., by the name of Charley Paddock, has been showing up very well in the workouts on Bovard Field, and will probably be entered. He will finish imong the first half dozen, if all goes well. Isenhauer and Schiller will also represent the Cardinal and Gold in the century, and this display of talent should give U. S. C. two or more places out of the first three men to break the tape
In the pole vault, Dick Emmons and Joe Chapman will probably be among Trojan entrants, while Rogers. Taylor and Lewis will run the high hurdles Lewis is the best bet In the. high jump
Foolish Frosh Storm Registrar
'Twns a rainy winter morning.
And a goodly crowd was there, Which well-nigh wrecked the counter And the registrar so fair.
Frosh to the right of them,
Frosh to the left of them,
AIbo In front of them, shouted and wondered.
“Why must I take a car?”
"Where has my umbrella gone?” “My match I'll have to pawn.”
Loud voices thundered.
LAW DEBAIERS ARE PREPARING TO MEET
Anyone viewing the spectacle of a group of students voluntarily standing in line to relinquish joyfully the old hank roll could readily see the desire for education beaming forth from the eyes of aforementioned g. o. s. Of course no one confused the well mean Ing frosh with the dignified veterans If the students wore awe-inspired coun tenances—they were frosh. If they crabbed gleefully and thoroughly they were old timers.
Of course, we do not wish to appear cynical, but that woebegone crew of freshmen that stormed the registrar's office looked as promising and lively as a flock of Japanese lanterns after a wetjawn fete. Of course, they may Improve with time. Several of them exhibited signs of intelligence by propounding such astounding questions as, "Why Is Freshman English?” "Is physical education gymnasium?” After due process of registration they splashed merrily about the lawn In the rain. Perhaps they will have further opportunities for aquatic diversions in the'near future.

Columbia Lost to U. S. C. in 1916; They Are Bloodthirsty for Revenge
At a competitive tryout, held last Friday evening, at the College of Law, before Coach Channing Follette. three men were chosen to represent the College of Law In ithelr debate with Columbia University, which will send a team to the coast this spring.
Voltaire Perkins, Ugene U. Blalock and Edgar A. Hervey will uphold the Law School colors on March 24th against Columbia. The subject of debate Is "Resolved, that the several states should establish courts similar to those of Kansas for the settlement of labor disputes," and will, no doubt, be as interesting a debate as was tht* first clash between Columbia and the College of Law In 1916.
Perkins Is a veteran of debate, having represented the University of Southern California against Stanford, University of Montana nnd University of Texas; he was president of the student body last year, and Is a senior at law.
Blalock is this year’s student body president of the barristers and a senior % and is an experienced man on the' platform. He debated ngainst University of Texas for U. S. C.
Hervey Ib a freshman, who has already represented the College of Law in debate. All of these men were winners of cups In the Bowen Contest last

The Trinity auditorium has been secured for this date, and with such a live question for debate It will cauae considerable Interest, both In the university and among the public In general.
A. I. E. F. COMES HERE
The American Institute of Electrical Engineers have granted U. S. C. the privilege of establishing a student branch: all students pursuing a regular course of study ln electrical subjects may be enrolled.
The A. 1. E. E. is u national organization of electrical engineers and has as its purpose the closer co-operation and sharing of ideas among Its members. The various branches have papers read by prominent members and bring in from different localities men who are actually engaged In the solving of electrical problems. An added benefit is found in the Journal, a monthly publication containing papers presented before the Institute and additional articles of general engineering interest.
The local chapter does not intend to hinder the activities of the A. A. E., but merely to deal more specifically with tbe electrical branch of the engineering profession. Application blanks for membership in the Institute ure now obtainable from Gilbert Bailey, secretary.
