ESSAY CONTEST OPEN
The closing date for Arthur Murray’s Essay Contest has been postponed to December 20. This will give students more time to compete for the $75 in prizes offered for the best 500-word composition on ’’Five Ways of Earning Money at College.”
Any one may enter. The prizes will be awarded for the best ideas rather than on the use of good English If a contestant writes a 100 per cent essay, as far as composition is concerned, and spends his time telling how to be a first-class writer, his chances of winning a prize are not overly bright.
Eight prizes are being offered by Arthur Murray, who earned $15,000 a year while working his way through Georgia Tech by teaching dancing. Mr. Murray is especially anxiouB to hear from students who are now earning money at college. Manuscripts should be sent to him at 143 East Thir-tyn-inth street, New York, N. Y.
Already a number of rather unique experiences are told in the essays. One fellow in Texas brought a number of cows to the college and made money selling milk to the students. Another relates that he raised white mice in the basement of his boarding house.
In writing the essay, the contestant should give at least two original ways of making money. The other three methods may be based on the experiences of others; $25 will be given for the first prize; seven other prizes, scaling down to $5.00, are offered. The winning essays will be published in one of the leading national magazines.

“For his age. ‘Mister Antonio’ is the healthiest, peppy-est, most perfect specimen I have ever seen,” declared Miss Hubbard, sneaking of her prod igy, who will appear at the Gamut club house at eight o’clock on the evenings of December eighth and ninth, for his first public appearances under the guidance of the College of Oratory of the University of Southern California.
Both Miss Hubbard and Miss Voor-hees, assistant coach, are much pleased with the progress of the play, and have nothing but favorable criticism for the players. As "Mister Antonio” Is a character play, each person in the cast has many chances to portray his type. This they do very effectively, according to tlie coaches, who spent several weeks in choosing the cast.
Enjoy Rehearsals
“I’ve never enjoyed rehearsals so much before,” said Miss Vorhees. "The entire cast carries out the spirit of the plot at all times, making everything run smoother and more quickly. Already we have passed the ’learning lines’ stage, as well as the ‘setting’ stages, and nothing remains to do but to iron out a few remaining wrinkles.”
As "Mister Antonio” is given under the auspices of the school. It is expected that everyone will find time on either Dec. 8th or 9th to see it.
The Gamut club house is at Eleventh and Hope streets.

LLOYD ROGERS
Well Known University Track Star Rewarded for Rescuing Girl in July. 19 19
GETS $3,000 ANNUITY
Star Track Man Is Modest Over Receiving One of World’s Greatest Honors
Dashing bravely into a surging surf and fighting his way 200 yards off shore, grabbing the daughter of Cap tain L. F. Johnstone of the U. S. navy, and bringing her safely to shore, won Lloyd (Cap) Rogers of the university, one of the highest honors in America, a Cargenle Hero Medal.
The rescue took place July 19. 1919, ut it wall only last week that Rogers was notified of the honor* that had been given him along with an annuity of $3,000. The latter began from the day of the rescue and continues through life.
Rogers was working on his father's ranch near Ventura at the time of the rescue and there was not another man within a mile of the sea when the girl was caught in the undertow. It is said that she was wading In the edge of the water when the heavy undertow caught her and carried her out to sea. She was a.fair swimmer, but could not combat the heavy pull.
Her mother, on the beach, began crying frantically for help and Rogers, in the nearby field, hearing her, ran to the rescue.
Without thought of his own safety he plunged into the surf and, being a good swimmer, fought his way to the drowning victim. He reached her just time and began the long fight back to the beach.
When still 100 feet from shore Rogers became so weak and exhausted that he could not remember the remainder of the distance. The girl's mother waded as far out as possible and pulled the two exhausted persons to safety.
It is thought that the father of the girl recommended the medul.
When visited yesterday by a reporter Rogers said: “It was no more than any other man would have done. I never expected unythlng would come of it. Some man came to see me several times, but the medal and the an nulty were a complete surprise.”
The new hero of U. S. C. is modest in his hour of achievement and did not let the matter get out until the list of Carnegie heroes was printed.
He is very popular in the university, being a varsity track man and a member of Theta Psi fraternity. He belongs to the class of 1922.

Y.M.C.A. WILL OPEN EMPLOYMENT AGENCY FOR UMEN STUDENTS
Following the custom of many big universities which maintain employ-ment bureaus for tho women students, the Y. W. C. A. has announced tentative plans for the establishment of a medium through which women of the university may secure employment either during the Christmas vacation or part time work during thc yeur.
No definite committee has yet been selected to take charge of the enterprise, but the Y. W. C. A., according to Miss Jeannette Green, secretary, is looking for a competent woman with business ability to act as chairman.
Miss Green stated that although the bureau will be opened soon, lt probably could not do a great deal In providing employment for the coming holidays since it Ib rather late.
However, as soon as the bureuu is strongly established it will, by keeping in touch with large business houses and department stores, be able to aid all women who apply. In addition. she said girls may apply during the summer vacation for assignments to part time positions for the coming school year.

What ho, fellow studes, we have a new anlmule in our midst. Its gender Is masculine and it makes its lair in the collateral den. Its chief Indoor sport is dropping its pencil beneath the table. Then it stoops to recover said pencil—but ah—now we see the nature of thlB beastle, for before stoop Ing it puts on its rubber tired camouflage "specs” and prepares for sub-mersion. About half an hour later it comes up for air and continues its studying Now what can be the reason for the existence of this strange beastie, and wherefore tbe cause of its strange actions. We gave much study to this the other day, and we even tried imitating this latest addition to our zoo. Said Imitation enlightened us muchly. We sympathized with the anlmule in his necessity for aforementioned specs in his »ct,0"Bo We wished for a pair ourselves We suppose that by tills time you are simply perishing of curiosity to know what we found about the reason* for this sojourn beneath the table.

This is a novelette with a moral. Warning is hereby given, and the reader has npjjne but himself to blame if he reads further.
“I wish to speak to Mr. Charley Ranier, if you please.” And as she spoke these words to the registrar’s assistant, the beautiful young damsel set down a black leather traveling bag and daintily powdered her slight re-trouse6 nose. Her delightfully confused and blushing countenance wore an expression denoting both anxiety and expectation, and every man with in fifty feet of the spot upon which she stood had eyes for no one else.
The assistant looked through the R's. She scanned them once, she scanned them twice, and then she gave the maid advice.
"There is no Charley Ranier here,” she Informed her. "Horace Ranier is the only person with the non-lntoxicat-ing surname,in the Institution. He is now in History 738, room 77. I will have him called for you.”
"Oh. hi* name isn't Horace His name I* Charley. I ought to know, I'll be calling him that a good many years, I hope.”
Two men who heard this fell over without groans, but the beautiful young damsel scarcely noticed them The assistant looked troubled. “I will find out definitely," said she, and she sent the seuund assistant up to room 77 to discover more about Horace.
She, the latter, the third assistant (blast English rhetoric!), wound her way up the stal-s. Room 77 was opposite. She tapped on the portal and crossed the floor to the professor. "Mr. Rainer?” she said in an undertone The professor was preoccupied and bone dry in addition He heard only the last word.
“Thi* is history, not domestic science," he explained In a weary tone
“I beg your pardon, ‘‘I wished to find out if Mr. Horace Rainier i* here, my dear," said hi* fair attacker In an equally bla*e gurgle with a touch of the required "devll-may care but be hanged IM do" manner. Results were obtained.
"I shall ascertain," said the prof , taking up the class roll from the desk. The only name discovered was "C. Ranier," and he cpuld not *ee any con-
nection between C. and Horace.
"He Ib not here,” said he. I’ollte regrets were exchanged by both, and the third assistant slid down the bannister to the great delight of three members of tbe football team who were standing at the foot but looking considerably higher. She (the third assistant) reported that Mr. Rainer was not In the class.
“No," said the first assistant to the beautiful young damsel, “Mr. Charles Ranier Is non-existent ln the Institution and no other person with the Identical hooch patronymic Is at present Iu the environs.”
The h. y. d. looked ready to cry. Her black satin slipper tapped the floor and she fished for a handkerchief. At this moment a rakish looking young man went up to her and tapped her on the bean.
"Caroline!" he said.
"Henry!" said she "What have you been doing since you turned me down?"
‘‘I’ve accepted Charley Ranier, and now I can’t find him. We were going to elope, and he said to be here. Hut now 1 find that be doesn't go here at all, and I thought all the time he was attending the best university iu the west.” And sh« applied the two-inch-square linen to her tears. Suddenly she cheered up.
"Henry,” sbe said, as she looked at him from her calf-like orbB, "You'd do awf’ly well to elope with. Let’* do!” "I’m game,” said he, and seized her bag and left arm and marched awav.
They were married yesterday at low tide, aud shortly afterward a wild appearing young man appeared at the registrar's olfice and asked if a girl had asked for Mr. Ranier.
"What wa* the flrst name?" asked the assistant with a gleam In her eye ‘‘Blessed if I know," he said "Charley, most likely; maybe Horace.” "Where were you laat period?" “History 738 ”
"Young man,” said the assistant, “You have lost your best girl for the simple reason that you haven't got sense enough to give your professors the same name that you give the reg Istrar’s office, and the same name you go by at home Anybody whose name

LAST MINUTE NEWS
U.S.C. IS REJECTED BY P.C. CONFERENCE
San Francisco, Nov. 30, 6 p. m.—University of Southern California's request for admittance into the Pacific Coast Conference was unanimously rejected at a meeting of conference officials this afternoon. No reason was given to the preaa at this time.
all-star organization This season a number of men have seemingly stood out in the mind* of all as the logical choice In the positions they play, but there are some who are too evenly matched to be of one opinion on.
Below Is given the "picks'’ of the various sport writers for their All-Southern intercollegiate (ootball team:
Clyde Hruckman of the Examiner, gives Jimmy Smith, U. S. C.. and Rich of Pomona, the end positions. At tackle, ho places Swede Evans and Bell, also of Pomonn. The guards he gives to Townsend of U. S. C. and Corey of Oxy. Calland at center is the unanimous choice.
In the backfield, Leadingham is given the quarterback position, and Covington of Pomona, and Suggett of Whittier, are given the halfs. Dean is given fullback hands down.
Paul Lowrey of the Times, difTers with Hruckman but In one position, he placing VoorhelB of Pomona ahead of Suggett at half, and giving him that place ln Suggett's stead.
Darcy of the Record, also has one difference with those two picks. He agrees to all the men with the exception of one halfback position that bus figured with all of the experts. La-vagnino of Throop, would getflhe place according to him.
Harry Grayson of the Express, however, agree* with Bruckmun ln placing Suggett on the team, but vurieB from the rest when he places Boyle of U. S. C. on the team at left tackle. Darcy of the Record, stated that If Boyle had played the whole season at his position he would also pick him, but did not think that it was fair to place him over the heuds of men who had battled the entire season at their jobs.
The Herald has not yet picked a team, and does not Intend to do so until they have seen all of the coaches on the subject.
Now that we have reviewed the picks of the sporting men of the city, it Is in line to get a team from the differences here given that will be representative of their choice.
At ends, then, we find Smith, U. S. C., and Rich of Pomona. At the tackles Swede Evans of U. S. C., and Bell of Pomona, with Johnny Boyle lurking in the background. There is no doubt that If Boyle had played the whole season al bis position that he would have been the unanimous choice. Guards ure unanimous with Townsend of U. S. C„ und Corey of Oxy, leading the field. Center Is also on Ice with Babe Calland of Old Trojan given the job.
In .the back field, Johnny Leadlng-lium at quarter, Covington, Pomonu, and Suggett, Whittier, ut the halfs, and Dean of S. C. at full buck, are the final pick. Lavagnlno of Throop, and Voorhles of Pomona, are both mentioned by one man. but the weight of decision lies with Suggett, the spdedy lillli' liitlf from Whittier.
Coach Henderson's version of the teum, on the other hand, is entirely different. Henderson states thut his pick Is the U. S. C. Varsity; and Old Trojan can't very well blame him at that.
