ASSC Transportation Committee Declares War on Bus Companies
Support for a civic committee to “sh ow bus companies they can’t run rampant j on fare and route changes” has been offere d to the ASSC Committee on Public Trans-! portation, chairman Bob Croutch disclosed over the weekend.
Croutch, who last week appeared bef ore the Public Utilities Commission and contested moves of LATL and Metropolitan Bu s Lines to increase fares and student ticket
•	-	rates,	said he is taking steps to
||	'	j form the committee in the next
> two weeks.
:	The	transit companies have ap-
j plied for nine increases in fare 1 since 1946 and have received nine, j Croutch said, pointing out that I “there was no solid or effective public resistance against bus company action.”
“The companies did not always receive as much as they asked,” he said, “but they asked for more than they expected.”
The ASSC senate formed the Trojan Committee on Public Transportation Sept. 29, two days before Croutch appeared before the commission. Other members of the committee include ASSC senators Bob Gerst, Cammie King, and Bob Smith.
The committee will function first to try to find justification for fare and route changes since 1946, he said. If justification was found it would be presented to the Los Angeles public.
However, if there was no justification for the changes, he said, and the committee concluded that the changes benefitted the bus line’s stockholders and not the public, the committee would take legal action against the companies.
I PROTEST — Bob Croutch, ASSC Transportation Committeeman sets forth a point during a recent hearing which involved . Los Angeles citizens protesting a fare raise proposed by the Los Angeles Transit Lines and Metropolitan Bus Lines.
Coeds Will Act In Homecoming Variety Show
Coeds will be permitted to participate in the Diamond Jubilee Show (formerly known as Trolios) during Homecoming, according to Bob Jani, chairman of the show.
Trolios in the past has been a vaudeville show presented by the fraternities and featuring competitive fraternity skits, and professional entertainment.
“The Panhellenic Council is endorsing the show which will be open to women for the first time,” Jani said. “Four years ago,” he continued, “the women presented skits in their own show, Coed Capers. Actually, this is just an incorporation of Coed Capers with the Diamond Jubilee Show.”
Jani said there will not be mixed acts as in Songfest.
“A sorority or dormitory may enter as a group,” Jani said, “but they will not be allowed to combine with a men's group for a skit.”
The men’s division of the show will be competitive with trophies awarded, but it has not been decided whether the women will compete for trophies.
In addition to men’s and women’s acts, the Diamond Jubilee Show will feature a special alumni act starring Ken Shanks, speech instructor, and a faculty act featuring members of the faculty and administration.
“There will be a minimum of professional talent in the show,”
Jani said. “We will probably invite one big-name star to appear as an intermission act.”
Those entering acts in the show will find applications available in 228 SU beginning Tuesday afternoon.
The Diamond Jubilee Show will be held Nov. 11 in Bovard auditorium.

C Back in Bowl Race: Loses
by Murray Brown Daily Trojan Sports Editor
The shadow of defeat Friday dimmed SC’s beautiful foot-all picture nationally, but the Trojans can brighten their se Bowl outlook this weekend.
Jess Hill’s young team, knocked from the ranks of the nbeaten 20-7 by intersectional rival TCU, gets back in the wl race Saturday when it crosses paths with Oregon at ortland.
‘We’ll bounce back,” Hill vowed. “We still have a 1.000 rcentage in the PCC.”
SC holds a 39-0 victory over Washington State. Oregon, urprising everyone with a 33-27 upset of Cal Saturday, is Iso a strong contender for the Bowl with a 2-1 conference ark. So if the Trojans beat the Ducks, they’ll have an easier ath to Pasadena.
Victiry Streak Snapped
Before 52,705 dazzled fans in the Coliseum, the speedy ojans met a faster team than themselves in the form of exas Christian and had their victory streak snapped at ree.
Underrated TCU came into the game a 13-point underand came out of it 13 points ahead. The oddsmakers may 1 it an upset, but it was hardly that.
The Horned Frogs, by far the best football team the Tro-ns have met, had an offensive attack that any squad in the untry would find difficult to contain. They had a man in eir backfield^named Ron Clinksdale, who is the embodi-
ment of swiftness on a football field. It was Clinksdale who executed a 60-yard quarterback sneak. It had to be seen to be believed, and even then you still couldn’t believe it. But the 7-0 flashed on the scoreboard, and TCU had that vital first touchdown.
SC didn’t appear to be discouraged by all that, however, Jim Conttratto put his pitchin’ arm to work, and rifled a pass that End Leon Clarke carried with him 67 yards to the TCU 5-yard stripe, where he was brought down by Clinksdale. After two unsuccessful SC attempts to crack through the enemy line, Contratto threw a pass to End Chuck Leimbach. Leimbach juggled it, and then clasped it for the score. It was 7-7 when the first period ended.
In the second quarter, another Texas Christian flash,
Jimmy Swink, sifted his way through Trojan tacklers from the 18 until he was across the goal line. It was SC’s own fault that sophomore Swink had that opportunity, for they were penalized 15-yards for roughing the kicker.
Still trailing by a touchdown in the third period, the Trojans began to march through TCU on the ground like men determined to reach a destination at any cost. They weren’t too far from theirs—the enemy goal line—when they tried to catch the Horned Frogs off guard with a pass. An alert TCU defender reached out and intercepted it, and dissipated SC’s threat.
• This situation repeated itself again, and again, and again, and again. No less than five Trojan aerials were intercepted, and each at a time when Troy looked as if it would roll
Student Killed in Post-Game Freeway Crash
SC student Gordon Stratton was fatally injured early Saturday morning when his car crashed into a utility pole on the Arroyo Seco Freeway. He was returning home from the TCU game where he had marched with the AROTC Color Guard.
Impact of the crash smashed the engine into the front seat of the car and a Fire Department rescue unit had to pry open the door so the unconscious student could be removed from the wreckage. He djed a short time later at
Lincoln Heights Receiving Hospital.
The 23-year-old pre-law student was a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. G. ' Stratton of South Pasadena.
His father, a patent attor- |
ney, and his younger brother had watohed the AROTC cadet command the color guard at the game. After graduation, Stratton had planned to enter the Air Force, then attend Law School and eventually enter his father’s law firm. i I
-7 to TCU
through the Frog defense like it did against Pitt and WSC. On one drive, Wingback Lindon Crow faked out tacklers with tricky footwork until he made 44 yards and delivered the ball to the Frog 7-yard-line. But a misdirected SC pass was intercepted.
These SC mistakes had an effect on the outcome, but they in no way discount the terrific play of the Horned Frogs, who did not commit any major errors. “They played a perfect game,” Hill admitted.
Mr. Perfection himself, of course, was Clinksdale. The slender TCU quarterback set up the final touchdown for his club when he raced a kickoff back for 58-yards. It was his own touchdown as he made three yards on a roll to the left.
Tricky Split-T
The tricky split-T formation that TCU employed helped bewilder SC long enough for Clinksdale to escape or handoff beautifully to his backs, who piled up good yardage.
This was the TCU team that outdowned and outgained the nation’s No. 1 Oklahoma club. It was the TCU team that lost to Oklahoma in the last minute, but jolted seventh-ranked SC. It stopped Troy’s highly-touted Jon Arnett, who made only 9-yards in six carries.
But through it all, the Trojans still showed the fans an attack that, barring such a myriad of flaws, could send them to Pasadena for the second time in three years.
After all, SC was the first team to outgain and outdown this Texas Christian squad.	^
