Rips Pitt 27-7; Wildcats Next by Murray Brown Daily Trojan Sports Editor “Catch me if you can.” This is the task fast-moving SC and sophomore tailback Jon Arnett, whose speed blew over a big and tough Pittsburgh team 27-7 Friday night in the Coliseum, will present Northwestern with Saturday at Evanston, 111. Northwestern not only will have to slow down a Jess Hill team that is racing for it’s third victory in a row, but one that is supposed to be his greatest offensive crew since he got the head coaching job in 1951. And one that also is seeking to gain more ground in the mythical national rankings. It’s quite a task for the Big-Ten Wildcat team that crushed Iowa State 27-14 with 20 first downs last week. Those in the crowd of 50.523 who saw what the Trojans did Friday to a rugged Panther team—a team that was considered the best Pitt squad in the last 20 years — PAGE TWO — Men Bare Knees On Campus as well as one of the East’s strongest elevens—will attest to that. They saw how Pitt’s brutish, massive line that had managed to hold Troy to a 7-7 standstill for three quarters crumpled before Arnett and his SC teammates in the final period. They saw Arnett, who scored two touchdowns against Washington State, evade Panther tacklers like a man dodging bullets as he made 25 yards and a score to break the tie. They saw him twist through for more big gains until he bolted over from the 1-yard line for another touchdown and a 20-7 Trojan lead. It was the third of the evening for the 19-year-old. 180 lb. slippery sophomore, who ended up with 118 yards in 15 plays, thus averaging almost 8 per carry. The spectators saw the helplesness of the Pitt “heavies” when they tried to keep Arnett to meager gains on punt returns. Coach Red Dawson’s Panthers seemed like they had him, but he slipped away from their claws long enough to roll up good yardage. That’s not all the crowd saw from the former “Player of the Year” at Manual Arts High School. They watched him complete two passes in four attempts for 27 yards, and make a leaping pass interception to snuff out a Pitt threat. They were unanimous that this was truly an All-American performance and one of the finest one-man football displays ever in the Coliseum. But the fans knew that it wasn’t just Arnett himself who defeated Pittsburgh, only a 7-point underdog before game time. They saw how a fiery, spirited Trojan line pushed away men much heavier than themselves to give Arnett the openings he needed and from there the young tailback’s swiftness and shifty movement took him further into Pitt territory. It was a Trojan line that blocked harder and tackled with more ferosity than against WSC two Fridays ago. It became a determined line when \he Panthers were on the verge of escaping with the victory that would give them a 3-2 edge in the all-time series and revenge a loss ( their coach had suffered to Troy as a Tulane quarterback in 1931. Three times the Eastern team was knocking at the touchdown door, having possession within the 10 yard line. But the hustling Trojans refused to open up as they hit hard and aggressively plunged through the enemy line to drag the Panther runners back for losses. And when Troy took over. Arnett took his team out of danger as he raced toward midfield with effortless grace. Another Trojan sophomore, quarterback Ellsworth Kissinger, had something to say about whether Arnett would (Continued on Pape Three) —PAGE FOUR— Three Fraternities End Discrimination Vol. XLVI Los Angeles, Calif., Monday, Sept. 27, 1954 No. 7 Kyser Appointed To Advise Homecoming Committee Crew Assistant homecoming chairman is the lengthy title given to Jack Kyser, veteran J Homecoming worker.

Troy Supports Season s First Pregame Rally Bovard 1 Auditorium nearly burst with Trojan rooters who generated spirit and witnessed select professional entertainment Friday noon at the first pregame rally of the season. Emceeing the show was Johnny Carson, CBS writer-perform-er and star of “Earn Your Vacation.” Carson also has written many of Red Skelton's, scripts, and replaced Skelton when he was injured earlier this year. Kings Lead Yells Bounding onto the stage to start the show were the Yell Kings led by Don Ward. The Wardsmen screamed several yells and introduced a Trojan takeoff of the present hit parade number “Skokiaan.” Tha rally moved at a faster tempo when the curtains opened with the Trojan Band led by Tommy Walker playing ‘‘Fight On.” In the same vein, Howard Rumsey followed through with several selections by his Lighthouse All-Stars who play nightly at the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach. Encourage Rooter* Receiving the audience's approval were two of his recent re- j cordings, “Witch Doctor” and j “Stan,” which JERRY BLANKENSHIP . . . chairman ......... ..^re offered af . ter the combo spoke brief encour-J ^ fraternity and sorority on the agements to the rooters.

Orientation Program To Inform Students by Fred Burgh Plans for the proposed freshman orientation course got under way Friday as the ASSC Senate committee appointed to study the course met with President Bill Van Alstyne. “This course is one of the Senate’s major objectives this year,” Van Alstyne stated, “and we hope it can become a permanent contribution of great significance to the university.” The course, which would be required ;of all freshmen, was proposed and studied by a committee last spring, but was unsuccessful because of its overemphasis on student activities, according to Van Alstyne. SC Traditions Present plans propose a curriculum of campus traditions university history scholastic advice on study techniques and reading improvement, as well as student activities available on campus. Possible lecture topics include a discussion of the financial status of the university by Robert D. Fisher, financial vice president, and a history of campus expansion by John E. Fields, vice president in charge of development. The course would be taught primarily by administration and faculty members with student leaders as guest speakers. Required Course It is proposed that no grade be given but a final exam would have to be passed and the one unit of credit would be required for graduation. Instruction in the course would probably be free with a charge being made to cover business of-! fice and testing bureau costs of ! administrating the course. Courses similar to the one proposed for SC are being given successfully at New York, Tulane, and Pittsburgh universities, Jerry Blankinship, committee chairman, reported. Faculty approval of curriculum and instructors will have to be secured. The committee will meet this afternoon with LAS Dean Tracy E. Strevey, who will ! appoint several faculty members to work with the senators. Senate Approval I The final committee report will have to be adopted by the senate before the course can take effect, but Van Alstyne believes the proposed plans would be passed. The committee, which was appointed last Wednesday night, will make its first report at the Oct. 13 Senate meeting. In addition to Blankinship, committee members present at Friday’s meeting were Mrs. Ann Block and Fred Fagg III.
