‘Women’s Day’ Exercises To Commence at JJ:40
‘ANGELS’ WALLOP TOJAN NINE, 18 - 4
Frank Chance’s Coast League baseball nine took the U. S. C. team down the line in a practice game at Washington park yesterday, the final count being Los Angeles 18, U. S. C. 4.
The professionals took kindly to the offerings of Maurer and Peckham, the Trojan twirlers. The Angels scored three runs in the first inning, and kept right on rambling across the plate throughout the remainder of the contest.
Chance sent Charley Hall, the former Red Sox heaver onto the mound against the Trojans. Millikan’s men proceeded to scare Charley out of a year’s growth by ringing the bell four times in the initial round. With three men roosting on the bases, Clayt Holloway leaned against one of Hall’s curves and sent it through Maggert in center field for a home run.
After the first spasm, however, the Angel pitcher tightened 11 p and had the collegians eating out of his hand for the remainder of the game, while his team mates were piling up a total of eighteen runs.
George Maurer retired at the end of the fifth frame, after a siege of wildness and numerous base hits. Jimmy Peckham, who relieved him, was also troubled with lack of control and yielded seven runs in the two innings he worked.
Eddie Marxen had an off day behind the hat. The captain was unable to hold his pitchers successfully, and had a number of passed balls chalked up against him. Some of his pegs to second base were of a rather weird nature also.
Brown and Curry, Trojan third and first basemen, respectively, brought forth a round of applause by a pretty play in the third inning. Brown went over to the foul line, grabbed in a hot grounder and threw to first while standing on his ear. “Scow” had to stretch some to get the ball, but he kept his foot glued to the bag and made the out.
The batteries were: U. S. C„ Maurer, Peckham and Marxen, Kolts; L. A., Hall and Boles.
from the University of Geneva. Charles Schick does not attend the University proper, but is taking extension work under Doctor Klingberg at Glendale.
The Scholarship society was founded two years ago, and includes in its membership twelve faculty men who are wearers of the Phi Beta Kappa key. Among the present University student residents who are members of the organization are Arthur Kent, Wilbur Long, Elmer Nelson and Arthur Lyon.
The unanimous approval of members of the faculty is essential to the admission of candidates to membership in the organization. Membership in the society is professedly based “solely on intellectual ability and scholarly attainment, without reference to examination marks.”
Women from all the colleges of the University are expected to meet at Liberal Arts and march into chapel for the special “Woman’s Day” exercises today at 11:40.
The members of the faculty, graduate students, seniors and juniors will gather on the south side of the campus, or if the weather will not permit, in thc hall by the adminitsration offices, and from there march into chapel. Sophomores and freshmen will meet on the north campus or by East hall.
Every woman is expected to dress in white. The senior girls will wear white dresses under their gowns.
Carrie Jacobs-Bond, the writer of many favorite songs and lyrics, will be the attraction in chapel. Mrs. Bond will play and interpret several of her own songs, telling what they mean and the circumstances under which they were written.
Men of the University are invited to fill up all the seats left vacant in chapel after the girls have marched in. The chapel annex will be reserved for members of the faculty and wives or faculty men.
■	lie cafeteria will be largely given ov'er to the women for luncheon. Yellow floweis will transform the everyday appearance of the room.
Toasts will be given by girls from all the colleges. The speakers will be Maude Morrison, of the College of Medicine: Helena Thorte, of Music; Althea Hendrickson, of Oratory; Mildred Bullfinch, of Law; Edna Carrick. of Pharmacy; Amelia Johnson, of Theology, and Sylvia Covert, of Dental. Miss Edna Cocks, of the Liberal Arts physical education department, will represent that college.
