SAGEHENS IN MORTAL COMBAT
SOME of POMONA’S STARS
goth Backfield* Are Powerful With End* Evenly Matched in Ability
Pomona is looking forward to her battle with the Trojans, Saturday, with jrlm determination to hold the score low nnd put across a victory when the breaks may come her way. The students there realize that flght will have much to do with the results, and as a producer of this desired article, the “Student Life" of the Claremont College puts the following paragraph on 1 its front page:
"The biggest, hardest, most stupendous football gaUle in Pomona's his-I tory la only four short days away. Saturday afternoon Coach Gloomy Gus Henderson brings his powerful and awe-inspiring eleven to Claremont to do battle with the Sagehens.”
Real Battle Ahead When a venerable institution, such as our friendly rival may well claim to be, shoves a notloe like that on the front page for the student body to gaze upon and ponder over, there is little doubt that a regular fight is going to take place somewhere. The students out at Claremont are going to be backing up their team—and it is ones of the best in the Southland—100 per cent, and they are going to see one of the fastest games of the season.
Strong Backfield at Pomona U.-S. C. has av back field this year of which it may well be proud—and the Sagehens have wtactly the same prop osition on their side. In reading an account of the California Tech game, the names of Wilson, Stover. Voorhies and McClain occur oftener than misspelled words in a freshman theme. The first named is the Pomona quarter, the 'last is the fullback, and the other two gentlemen are left and right halves, respectively.
They are all speedy and ambitious, and against the weakened Trojan backfield, which is still minus Charlie Dean, they bid fair to make a strong showing. It Is 'due largely to the efforts of these young gentlemen that Pomona has been sco/ed on only once during this season. The Sagehens are out in front of the Southern Cali-

"I would go anywhere I could to hear him talk," said Henry S. McKee, vice-president of the Merchants National Bank, when informed that Leslie Henry was to speak before the College of Commerce and Business Adminls tration in their third assmbly, Thurs day morning, at 11:40 in the University chapel.
He continues, “Yoti will be highly delighted with what he says. He Is not only a brilliant speaker, but he never utters a worthless sentence."
Mr. Henry will address all Commerce students and any others who are Interested, on the subject of “Economic Conditions and Present Financial Enterprises.”
This is one of the methods by which students are given an opportunity to come into contact with real business men and get acquainted with actual business conditions and the men who are on the firing line in every day commercial contacts.

Seniors Softly Sneak School
Studies, Seeing Sea Shore Sights
By Milton Inman
“BEHOLD! The SENIORS Jiave SNOOK."—Senior poster.
But there was nothing to behold except a few improvised posters, designed by the juniors, proclaiming in unmistakable terms their unfailing love for the sneaks. Venus and Robert W. Chambers combined hud nothing on the author of those amourous proc lamations.
No longer have the sacred halls of their Alma Mater the same irresistable lure that they had when tbe class of ’20 made themselves conspicuous by their absence. The call of the breakers, hot dogs, etc., at Anaheim Landing, proved too much for the sneaking seniors.
Signs Say ‘‘Sneaked”
The escape of the seniors was not discovered until the flaring red Bol-shevic-like posters of the class of ’21 »ere seen pasted conspicuously about the campus, so secretly had the fugi-'tives concealed their plans, hi fact, the details of the plan were concealed so well that even some of the most Prominent seniors had failed to hear shout the annual frolic of the senior class,
The windows which, according to Mr. Huse, have bee noutraged and now suf
contempt, will have to be cleaned hy the seniors or tlie cleaning of the same will be charged to the senior c*«sk. At least they will not reniuin as they were today.
Floyd Tarr, indignant president of the Juniors, was tipped that a senior was correcting examination papers in the office of the engineering depart ment In the due course of twenty-five •niuutes he had gathered his forces, armed with rope and mutual psychic bolstering, to seek out the lone senior.

BE WELL REPRESENTED AT HALLOWE’EN PARTY
By L. W. Harrel
Cental college heartily appreciated
entertainment presented by
the
Liberal Arts girls in the freshman laboratory last Tuesday. We wish hey would visit us oftener A reading by Billy Heinz was a eature of the program, as were talks y other of the co-eds on the Halloween party to be held at the Armory atmday Dental promises to be well Presented on that occasion.
However, In that due course of twenty-five minutes, the abandoned senior, who was none other than Charlie Conger, had learned of the antics of his classmates, and had forthwith followed in their footsteps, forsaking the halls to the juniors.
During the intermission between the first and second periods, Jimmy Woodward, ’21, familiar to sport writers, but not to the juniors, was seen talking to Tarr, who related in glowing terms how they were to hold the last rites for the departed.
Sad Sacred Services Immediately Woodward gathered two more unfortunate classmates, George Thurner and Ed Alberts, also engineers, who, like him Bel ff had not been notified of the reveling al the seashore. The trio made tlieir escape immediately. When interviewed. Woodward. loyal to his class, explained that he had an important meeting with the coach at noon before the game Saturday, and therefore was unable^to accompany the rest of ttie class.
Marie June (Little Fairy) Dennis, ’21, A. S. B. secretary, complained to the TROJAN that she was prevented from attending the frolic by her con-nect ions with tlie University High School. She was seen wandering about the vacant hall looking like a young Ophelia.
Sole Senior Seen
The juniors claim that she was the
only one to notice the vacancy caused by the absence of the seniors ' tleman by the name of 1 1 craving publicity worse author of this article, published over his name, “Have you missed anything-No. Will you? No.” Evidently this referred to the absence of the seniors, although there Is a possibility that It could refer to something else

No School Tuesday
Whoops! Wheel!
No classes will be held on election day, Nov. 2, according to J. H. Montgomery, registrar. National election day is a legal holiday and all U. S. C. colleges will observe it.
All students who are of age to vote will cast ballots. Many fuzzy faced "new made men” will st^mp their first Presidential ballot Tuesday. Many young ladies who could if they wished will'stay away from the polls is the prediction. Those who vote run the risk of exposing their age.
However—’Ray for Cox and Harding—they make possible a holiday.

By Anthony Comstock, Sr.
Cribbing at UI S. C. has reached such proportions that student body leaders regard the crime as a Jugger naut destroying the moral fiber <•{ Hundreds of students.
Investigation shows that every student attending TJ. S. C. is cognizant of the fact that cribbing is so generally nditlged in that It has become a “part of the system."
U. S. C Is not alone among Ihe colleges that are suffering from the effects of the disease, but other colleges are meeting the Issue and com bating the evil.
Upper classmen say that the lower classmen are more guilty of cribbing than the upper classes. They say that the freshmen do not realize the seri -ousnesK of tlie act.
Others say that there is as much cribbing in the upper classes as In the lower classes, but It Is not as evident because of the fact that upper class men, wiih their experience, are better able to get away with it.
The question, “Is there cribbing be-in* done a U. 8. C.,” is answered. There is cribbing Cribbing is now a part of the system and Is condoned. | or at least winked at by the majority of U. S. C. students.

Brines, according to the police, Is the owner of the yellow motor car, stained with blood and containing an automatic pis 1 tol and two empty bottles, found aban doned about a mtle from where Drewes’ body was discovered last Sunday
All the old pep was present at the Dentists’ rally, held Tuesday, 12:30, at Dental. Myrna Ebert, assisted by “Billy” Heinz, presided.
Billy Heinz gave a clever reading, entitled "Cupid Plays Coach," which was received with great enthusiasm Following the reading, the teeth pullers were enlightened as to the plans for the Hallowe’en party, com ing off at the Armory on Friday night The one requirement for admission is old clothes. Anything from an old dress suit to a palr.of wrecked overalls goes. The first number Is the "Grand March," which starts at K: 15. It will pass .the judge's stand and the one hav Ing the cleverest costume will be de clared the winner. Stunts will be given by Alpha Chi Omega, and the frosh. Dental will have a quartet that will put on a great exhibition.
Here the element of mystery enters Two unknown parties will give oriental and Scotch dancing that promises to be great.
After the program, the Regular old. time Hallowe’en stunts will hold sway There will be the thrilling pastime of bobbing for apples, nnd similar games For refreshments there will be cider and doughnuts. Whether the cider will be hard or soft was not disclosed Judging from the spirit shown by the Dentists, they all plan to put on their retreaded garments and show up ln a body on Friday night.
T HUT EQUIPMENT WILL BE ENLARGED
Plans are being worked on by Mr. Mediums and staff of the Y. M. ('. A for a remodelling of the main room of the “hut." It Is his i'!an to make a "cozy corner” of the room that now contains tables and typewriters. This room Is to be refurnished wjth new rugs and easy chairs and other furnl ture that will make It look and feel home like for the boys. It Ib to be for the use of every university man. whether he Is a member of the “Y. M." or not.
lt Is the aim of the Y. M C. A. to make every man feel at home
At present, when a social function Is given at the "hut," and refreshments are served, difficulties always arise on account of the lack of proper facilities for serving the "eats.” In order to overcome this lack, Mr McGinnis has completed plans for a kitchenette to be built In the near future. This kitchenette Is not for the purpose of nerving meals, but only to provide adequate means for the serving of refreshments at “stag do’s” and other en tertalnments As Is now the case, there Is no place to wash and store dishes, or to oven boll water. It Is hoped that as the various societies In the university use the Y. M ('. A for social affairs, that these societies will, in turn, help in any way they cun

STUDENT MEETING LED
BY PROF. LA PORTE
Prof La Porte will lead the discussion group at the Y M. C. A student counoil meeting this evening at 5:30 in Hill's restaurant on the corner of Jefferson and University Avenue This discussion Is limited lo one-half hour, In which time questions asked by the students will be answered
The ‘Y’ leaders are anxious to have all the members attend, aud earnestly request all the university men to Join this organization
Sepulchral moans, dismal sighs, loud lamentations and moyrnful groans arose at 12:30 yesterday in a bloodcurdling, life-congealing chorus from thfe vicinity of the senior bench.
Hearing the horrible noises pop-eyed Ireshmen fled from the campus in trembling terror, convinced that the restless Hallowe'en spirits had arisen from their moldy graves to commence Ihelr annual gruesome festivities on our campus.
Not so the all-wise sophomores who
ON TO POMONA,
IS CRY OF 1000 LOYAL TROJANS
On to Pomona a thousand strong!
On to Pomona a thousand strong!
On to Pomona a thousand strong!
Unless this slogan is slung from one thouBnndfplus Ups the Trojan grid machine will look and feel like a lost fifty dollar bill. Though the varsity is going to trot over to Claremont to slip the Sagehenners a drastic dose of defeat, only the support of at least u thousand U. S. C. rooters will help th^m repeat and Improve on last year's victory of 7-0.
For everyone going to the Claremont field, whether ln automobile, on truck, behind horse, or under train, there Is a neat yellow button. There are many buttons, more'n a thousand, bales of streamers to dedeck machines, and they're all waiting for the right parties. For all those who think that the Trojan outfit won't need one thousand-plus loyal supporters In the bleachers, here's a volley of dope:
Pomona Collegc has pummeled everything that has gotten In her way this year Cal. Tech. smelled tho small end of 28-7, and Redlands tacked a more zero besldo Pomona’s 21. Dope sters and so-called "weuther-wlse" guys shake their heads when asked what will happen at Claremont this Saturday when Trojans and Sugehcns mix, and say: "The rooters will win the game.”
If these wise guys are right, then which ever outfit brings out the big-best bunch of rooters will have li^ilf the work done.
Gwynn Wilson reports that there Is1 not an active enough Interest In the forthcoming fray and that scarcely a fraction of one thousand have pledged their presence with the yellow button. Pomona has the advantage of nearness to the field, but do Trojans stop at disadvantages? Does distance stop loyal U. S. C. rooters?
Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors, should all turn out. No class restrictions. All we need Is a throng of a thousand throaty Trojan shouters.
Pomora will turn out, will U. S. C.?
The Early Bird Gets Them All
Where do all the Trojans go? Yell, where'’ The student body would like to know! The faculty would like to know! The Trojan staff would like to know! Where do they go?
Enough Trojans are printed each day for each member of the student bodies of the various colleges. They ure delivered before classes take up In the mornings. For the past several days merely the students who have first hour clusses have been getting oples of the paper.
Those coming the second period have ignored the sign at th; faculty mall box that those Trojans were for the faculty only. As a consequence, for some reason, unknown, unfathomed. unheralded, the faculty have failed to see our luerry little sheet.
Some persons, evidently unthinking, aud wishing to send the Trojans to appreciative friends, have been purloining more than one copy. Evidently others who wish to use them for seats In basement windows, or for sunshades, or tor other sinister purposes, do not realize th..' the Trojan costs about $100 per Issuv. and that other papers can be obtained at the Trojan office for these purposes.
Tho Trfjan staff regrets to announce that unless morQ discretion Is used In the taking of Trojans from the stacks placed tn halls they will be placed in a private safe and oue copy doled out to the roll call of each Indjvidual. This seems to be the only manner by which every student will get the. Trojan that Is printed for him
STUDENT VOLUNTEERS TO MEET AT HUT TONIGHT
Student volunteers will meet tonight at 8 o'clock in the 'Y' hut. Archie Matson will lead. Howard Ahlf, Doris Wells aud Elmer Walirubrock will speak All members are urged by the officers to be present.
quickly gnthered en masse on the north lawn to witness the Impressive senior funeral services which were being conducted by the sorrowing Juniors.
lTevious to the gathering at *he i^nlor bench where nil effigy symbol (zing the depnrted seniors was to be hurled, the Juniors with bowed heads and wearing somber black arm bands, marched ln a solemn procession about the campus.
Heading the stately cavalcade came two Juniors playing three discordant notes on out-of-tune horns, followed closely by several grave diggers. Johnnie Koblnson, preacher, the much-bedecked bier, nnd copiously-weeping mourners completed the sad spectacle.
At tho bench Johnnie Koblnson, Marlon Joplin and Harold Baker spoke n few well chosen words of comfort to the grief-stricken who over and anon ralnfld tlieir voices Iu long-drnwn howls of distress. A touching quar tette Bang that pathetic song, "When I Die Don’t Bury Me At All,” which was much appreciated by all who heard It.
Following the public services the procession proceeded to the athletic grounds whore, as Johnny Koblnson aptly expressed lt, "the seniors were to be burled In prlvatltude.” Long may they rest! Amen!
