3000 Trojan Rooters Invade San Francisco Area Today
By Norene Charnofsky
Approximately 3000 victory-bound Trojan rooters will escape from Los Angeles smog into San Francisco fog today as the “big weekend” begins.
The first flood of Trojans was scheduled to invade the North this morning at 6:45 with the arrival of the Starlight Streamliner and six special rooters’ cars. Four more special cars will arrive tonight at 6.
Filling Gas Tanks
Trojans who plan to drive up are busy filling gas tanks and checking tires for the long pull ahead tonight, as enthusiasm mounts for tomorrow’s clash with the Tribe.
“Hotels are all heavily booked,” George Moran, Southern Pacific campus agent reported yesterday. Cardinal and gold colors will be prominent at such large hotels as the Cliff, the Sir Francis Drake, the Fairmont, and the Whitcomb.
The Scene
San Francisco’s Union Square will be the scene for a midnight rally when Trojans congregate
Saturday night to celebrate the victory.
‘‘We’re not out to burn the town down,” Leroy Barker, rally chairman, said. “The rally will be .organized, no fires will be lit, and the participation of all service organizations in keeping order will be appreciated.”
He expressed confidence that Trojans would not follow the example set by the Bruins, several of whom landed in jail last weekend for their exuberance after beating Cal.
Card Stunts
More than 1400 rooters will participate in card stunts at the game. The 12 stunts will include formation of a multicolored trolley car with moving wheels, the signature stunt, and the half-time score.
Half-time activities will be highlighted by the performance of the entire Trojan band, ana the appearance of the Trojan horse.
Additional thousands of “stay-at-home” rooters will be close to their radios Saturday afternoon,
and may hear the goalposts fall as victorious Trojans leave Palo Alto to descend on San Francisco for celebrations.
Among the spots expected to play host to Trojans are Fisherman’s Wharr, the International Settlement, and Chinatown.
Activity will dwindle down Sunday when the tired but triumphant hordes board trains for home — and Monday morning classes.

Tough Trobabe Gridders Meet Cal Cub Team
by Murray Brown Daily Trojan Sports Editor
Jess Hill’s once-beaten Trojans, who killed Stanford’s Rose Bowl hopes last year, 23-20, can make their Bowl dream a reality at the expense of the Indiana tomorrow afternoon in Palo Alto’s Stanford Stadium.
A crowd of 40,000 is expected for the 2 p.m. kickoff.
If Hill’s gridders. 14-point favorites, defeat the Tribe and 19-point underdog Oregon loses to UCLA—they’re in.
Faltering Tribe
It would be unwise, though, for the Trojans to become too complacent or overconfident.
The faltering Tribe, ambushed by Washington State 30-26 last Saturday and massacred 72-0 by UCLA the week before, is aware that a victory over SC would compensate for those blotches. The mere mention of Trojan arouses feelings of vengeance inside the Indians, who well remember that three-point loss last season.
This is also Homecoming week at the Farm, and the Indians should be spurred on more than usual to try to end it on a triumphant note for the home fans.
They also know that the prest'ige of the Bay Area is on the line, and this realization will give them added incentive to whip SC. No Bay Area squad has ever beaten a Hill-coached eleven, the Trojan coach having conquered Cal 32-20 last year; Stanford 54-7 in 1952; and Cal 21-14 in 1951. Stanford indubitably would like to be the first to break this string.
Almost Indelible Mark
There is also an almost indelible mark SC has left on the Farm that Coach Chuck Taylor’s club has intentions of eradicating. The Trojans have only lost two football games at Stanford since 1904 and 32 have been played. It will take the Indians several eons to catch up, but they know the more they tarry the harder it will be.
Their spirit for the “big-game” with SC is as high as it has been all year. With so much to gain, it is hard to visualize how it could be otherwise.
Coach Taylor said the other day his boys just might “surprise” the Trojans tomorrow.
May Make Mistake
The Trojans would be making a mistake if they looked ahead to UCLA without first considering Stanford as an enemy that is capable of being dangerous. Who knows when the Indians might spring an upset? They whipped Illinois 12-2 and surprised Oregon 18-13. In their line-up is Stan Brodie, the nation’s fourth best passer.

SC’s Trobabe football team, with a 20-19 win over the strong Stanford yearlings in its first game, takes on one of California’s weakest freshman football clubs today at 1:30 p.m. in the Coliseum.
Only one more game, UCLA’s Bruin Cubs, will be left for the SC frosh alter the Cal contest.
Offensively, the Cal cubs are rated somewhat inferior to the Trobabes. Frosh Coach Hal Grant has three good backs on his side but has failed to generate the line-men into an efficient unit for scoring purposes.
Brubabes Won Although the Brubabes toppled Cal, 20-0, last week, Grant’s charges held them to 136 net offensive yards.
Trobabe End Bob Rosendahl will be the main addition to the starting squad, replacing John Kubas while Pete Shubin, responsible for giving the locals the ball in Papoose territory leading to the winning score, will start at right tackle for Lyle Clark.
Gianulias Tops Gus Gianulias is to lead the Cal attack and rated fairly good by both coaches. Supporting him in the Cub backfield will be Max Hale in the tailback position and Art Forbes in the fullback slot.
Both Hale and Forbes played excellent roles with Gianulias in Cal’s varied rushing and passing attack, which failed because of the hard charging Uclans and weak Cubs.
Cal Receivers Jim Duff and Roger Rams are to be on the receiving of all Cal’s passes as the left and right ends, respectively.

BEWARE OF THE TOE — Tsad Tsam Tsagalakis, whose 35-yard field goal in the last fifteen seconds of play ruined Stanford's Rose Bowl Hopes last year, will be out to haunt the Indians tomorrow. Tsagalakis' kick beat the
Indians 23-20. The Trojan booter wears down the opposition psychologically. Holding the ball for Sad Sam is SC tailback Aramis Dandoy, who will bear some watching. He scamp ered against OSC last week.
THEY'RE VICTORY-BOUND
