Emery Olson, U. S. C. Graduate Who Left for Cornell University Yesterday—Formerly Freshman Forensic Coach and Prominent Debater
Cromwell's Warriors Prepare for Skirmish With Sherman
E
“Ump! Ump!! Whoop!!!” grunts the savage as he dances madly around the pigskin in his back yard. “Catch-'em heap lot white man scalp Satur-aday. Whoop!!” So he works a little harder.
“Up and at ’em!” yells the Trojan warrior as he dashes down the muddy field with the ball neatly snuggled under his arm.
The “Indians” and “Whites” are both working with a lot of “pep,” getting ready for the scrap to be staged Saturday afternoon at Fiesta Park.
Coach Dean Cromwell is putting on the finishing touches to his well-oiled piece of machinery, which he expects will tear through the Indians’ defense in real style. Capt. “Herb” Jones can hardly await the starting whistle of the referee, which will give him a chance to show his ability as an end. The rest of the Trojan varsity are all happy that the time for games is drawing near, so that they will have a chance to put in practice some of the things Cromwell lias been hammering into them for the last month.
The general admission to the game
will be seventy-five cents. Student tickets can be secured at the university book store for fifty cents.
Everybody who can possibly spare the time and money is ur£ed by Coach Cromwell to get in practice for the big California game.
I* red Teschke, the freshman coach, is now really busy in preparing his "babes” for two struggles scheduled this week.
Friday afternoon the “Trojan children” will take on the strong L. A. Junior College squad on Bovard field. The Junior College boys are coming here with a firm resolution to make the “Frosh” wish they had never seen a pigskin.
Saturday morning at 10:30 the “babes” will tackle the Orange High School squad on Bovard field. Though both of these intruding teams have grand visions of victory, Fred smiles to himself as he thinks of what his squad is going to do to them. All the freshmen will be given a chance to show their mettle in the two games and no admission will be charged.

A considerable portion of the hair of Clarence Joslin, a freshman, is now on display in the class bulletin-box, as the result of a “scalping party” last evening in the training quarters. Joslin paid the penalty imposed by his own classmen for not appearing, as requested, at the freshman “ducking” party held in the center of Bovard field yesterday, shortly after noon.
The freshmen vigilance committee found the deserter while he was dressing for football, and with a pair of clippers removed a streak of hair through the center of his head from front to back. William Hamilton is head of the committee, which has been organized to enforce the traditions of the school among the beginners.
A warning has also been issued to “frosh” whose names appear on the bulletin, that unless they present themselves at the designated time for their ducking, the same treatment will be meted out. It was stated that probably the next offender will receive a fancy cut from side to side.
Girls’ bible study classes are being organized under auspices of the Young Women’s Christian Association. Professors J. H. Montgomery and Tully Knoles will have two large classes. There will also be five classes conducted by senior girls. Miss Esther Hanning, who is at the head of this work, will be glad to confer with all those interested.
Green Ribbons? Emerald Caps? Nifty Buttons?
COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY HAS MANY BEGINNERS
The College of Dentistry opened September 28 with an enrollment of 275 students.
They are more than crowded, so numerous are the young men wishing to take up the profession.
“Oh, please, not green caps; they are so unbecoming. Just green buttons,” wails a little “frosh.”
If anyone wishes to see a freshman maid’s face registering disgust and temper, just step up briskly and ask: “Which do you prefer, green buttons or green caps?” You will feel most uncomfortable at the outburst of remarks flung at you.
“Both are absurd and horrid. We won’t wear them. Besides, we haven’t any pockets to keep the old caps in, and the buttons— Oh, well, they aren’t so bad.”
“Caps are so foolis'-,” says Violet Stuart, “and 1 think green ribbons around our wrists would be better.”
From the general discussion you may gather that most girls are opposed to the caps. But as one of the two must be chosen, you will hear the statement, “Green buttons any day.”
