ARNETT HELPS TROY JOLT OREGON, 24-14
by Murray Brown Daily Trojan Sports Editor
The Trojans moved a sturdy Oregon team out of the way Saturday at Portland and galloped much closer to the Rose Bowl.
It took their best game as well as phenomenal Jon Arnett’s greatest performance to gain a 24-14 victory over the Northwest squad, which had been the biggest block in SC’s Bowl path.
Jess Hill’s Trojan racehorse meets up with another ob-
| stacle on the road to Pasadena this weekend when it collides with California at the Coliseum. Should SC scoot past the Bears, it’ll have as little difficulty getting to the Bowl as a miler completing his distance on the track.
A crowd of 22,766 and millions more who watched the battle on television could not deny the power of the Trojans. Only a point and a half favorite, they throttled Oregon’s robust attack and then stampeded their rivals with.a second-half rush.

TWICE THE SIZE — Last year's card section shown above, is only half the size of Troy's
new "Spectacular" section which will be inaugurated at the California game Saturday.
Double-Size Card Section Needed for Stunt Debut
“Spectacular” new card stunts and a card section twice the present size will debut in the Coliseum Saturday at the SC-California game.
The SC rooting section will cover 40 yards and 3400 students will be needed to execute the mammoth stunts,
according to Jack Kyser, chairman of card designs.
“Now that we have the room, we can really put on some spectacular stunts,” Kyser said.
The extra space will make it possible to spell out words that formerly had to be abbreviated, he said. Two new color cards have been added, flesh and light blue, raising the total to 12 different coolrs.
30 Stunts Planned Twenty stunts are planned for next Saturday’s California game, including one honoring Gov Goodwin Knight, one saluting the Olympic Team Fund, and a new signature stunt.

Tunnel To Close
Tunnel 23 will be closed during half-time activities, and the vertical aisle will be filled with rooters.
Sheets listing special directions for the new stunts as well as regular instruction cards will be issued to students as they enter.
“Instructions must be fololwed or the stunts will flop,” Kyser warned.

Although the Knights were held to a 6-point lead in the first quarter, their obvious strength in fresh players showed itself as the Knights posted a 19-0 victory.

“It gives me a headache.” “It makes my eyes smart.” “It’s annoying.” "It looks terrible.” “It interferes with my studying.”
These are but a few of the reactions to “It,” the thick blanket of smog that has been growing | increasingly worse in the past week, that were expressed by students and faculty last Friday.
“Smog was the first thing I noticed when I arrived here from Indiana,” said George Motherwell, English instructor. “However, it was no surprise to find it, since I’d heard about it long before I came.”
Sleep Potion
Betty Rhodes, sophomore drama
major, reported that she fell asleep in class Friday morning because of the smog.
“A special smog control board should be set up by the City Council,” suggested ASSC Senator-at-Large Murray Bring. “If this gets no results, the State Legislature should be asked to help, especially since this is more than a Los Angeles city problem.”
“I can blame everyone else but myself for the smog,” University Chaplain Clinton A. Neyman declared, “because several years ago, I offered a solution which nobody has adopted as yet.”
Snake Killer
“1 suggested boring tunnels through the mountains that surround Los Angeles and installing fans which would blow the smog out into the* desert, killing the rattlesnakes instead of Los Angeles citizens,” Chaplain Neyman explained.
Sitting in the smoke-filled Trojan Grill, Dick Saydah. sophomore pre-dental student, said he finds it hard to study in an environment of smog.
Dr. Wilbert L. Hindman, associate professor of political science, remarked, “I agree with everyone else that smog is what Sherman said that war was.”
Political Brow
“I’m sure that the politicians are hoping that a literal breeze will blow the smog over until after the election. Perhaps with the campaign reaching its peak, the politicians, themselves, will stir up enough wind to blow it over,” Dr. Hindman quipped.
Concluding on a serious note,
Dr. Hindman said that the public wants to feel that the experts are cooperating, rather than competing, with each other in solving the smog problem.
Increased sales of eyewashes and eyedrops during the last week were reported at both the University Dispensary and the SC Drug Company.
“Students getting lost in the smog must acocunt for the meager audiences for our Forum speakers,” said Steve Robertson, ASSC Forum Committee chairman.
When Dr. Francis Christenson, professor of Engliih, was asked what he thought of smog, he reached for a book on a nearby shelf, turned to an article by E. J. Kahn, Jr., and said, “I think this sums up my feelings.”
The article was called “Ooff!! (Sob!) Eep!! (Gulp!) Zowie!!!” “Terrible,” exclaimed Mrs. Pearl Arnold, housing director, about the smog. “If it weren’t for SC, I’d leave Los Angeles.”
Help Needed “If we could get more engineering students to come in and fill the engineering positions that we have available, I’m sure they could get out and clear up the smog,” remarked Paul Calhoun, business education senior, who works part time in the Employment Bureau.
Just about everybody’s reaction to smog can be summed up in the opinion expressed by Ted Price, senior English major—“Help!”
Poem Talk Slated Today
Dr. Lionel Stevenson, chairman of the English department, will be speaker at the second of a series of English readings today at noon FH 229.
A selection of poems by Rud-yard Kipling will be the topic of Dr. Stevenson’s reading. Included in the selection will be “The Last Rhyme of True Thomas,” “A Pilgrim’s Way,” “The Palace,” “Johnson’s Amen,” “The Necessitarian,” and “The Return of the Children.”
The readings are open to all interested students and to the general public.
Creater-U Will Discuss Walls
The proposed “Walls of Troy” will be the topic of discussion at 2:15 p.m. this afternoon when the Greater University Committee meets in SU 418.

TOO MUCH — LA smog isn't going to keep chemistry professor Robert D. Void from getting his work done. Before he remembered the mask he had saved from a visit to Edinburgh, Scotland in 1939, the professor seriously considered "playing hooky" to putting up with the eye redening smog. His comment? It Works!
