GRID ROOKS TO STARTTRAINING FOR NEXT FALL
Initial Workout Scheduled for Monday Afternoon, Is Coach Henderson’s Announcement
track stars come out
Capt. ‘Swede’ Evans Will Aid in Teaching Newcomers—‘Preparedness,’ Coach’s Motto
BY MILTON M. INMAN
Spring football practice will start Monday afternoon, Coach Elmer Henderson announced yesterday. Instead of pessimism the coach has become famous for preparation.
Practice will commence promptly at 4 o’colck so that it will be necessary for all men to draw equipment early in the afternoon or sooner.
Henderson expects to devote most of his attention to the inexperienced men who were not out this season. The big idea is to acquaint the embryo satellites with his unique method of coaching a championship team. All men who have a willing disposition to learn the ropes are urged by the coach to come out for spring practice. He pointed with pride to two novices who are to come put, the two being no others than a pair of the most famous trackmen of the season, Sir Charles W. Paddock and George (Spec) Schiller, who have never carried the pigskin for U. S. C.
It was impossible to hold practice early this season as Coach Henderson tould not handle the baseball and foot-lall teams at the same time. Now that baseball is over the remainder of the season will be spent in chasing the leather around the Trojan back yard. Captain “Swede” Evans and the varsity men will probably assist in teaching the newcomers the tricks of falling without injury and holding the ball through the thick and thin of scrimmage.
A former English prof. at this institution asserted that a man learned to buck the line and carry the ball during the summer vacation as much as he did during the season proper. This, he explained, was an application of Wordsworth’s famous “emotion recollected in tranquility,” or some such theory. It is not known if Coach Henderson is coniident that spring practice is productive. He believes that hy planting the seeds in the spring js to assure a harvest in the fall. He is backed up by nature in this regard.
With the reputation of the past season, local sport critics are looking for
8	championship team at the university next fall and it is expected that Coach Henderson will have a horde of prospective tanbark stars on his trail for Omittance to membership to his famous aggregation of real football Players.
The coach will have a nucleus •round which to build a team next !e*r in the varsity squad of last season as well as the freshmen, team 1H23. “Slippery” Leadingham, j'harlie Dean, Tubby Lockett, Jimmy woodward and Bob Chesnut a~e the 'arsity backfield men who are in ,chool at the present time, and around th6 backfield of next season

FIFTEEN INNINGS AREN’T ENOUGH TO DECIDE WINNER IN TIGER- TROJAN BALL GAME
BY FLORENCE NICHOLSON
LAY BALL! Play ball!” shrieked the Trojan rooters, and “Playball!” echoed the Oxy supporters, when, at the end of the fifteenth inning of the baseball game, played Wednesday afternoon at Exposition Park, the score stood 5 to 5.
But already the sun had set and the light was fading, so the coaches called it a draw’ and the disappointed fans went home to dinners long since become cold.
Putting up a much better brand of ball than that displayed a few weeks ago, the Occidental nine surprised the home troupe by holding them to five runs, and Themselves registering an equal number.
Right Off the Bat Oxy started the fireworks in the first frame, when Alcock, with Alder on second, poled out a single to right field; Alder scored on an error. U. S. C. failed to count
in her half.....
In the disastrous second the Oxy batters combined a safe hit with a couple of Trojan errors for four runs, Betts, McKellar, Mayhew (running for Pow-----—

“Watch our dust,” freshmen and sophomores advised haughty seniors and skeptical juniors Wednesday and forthwith proceeded to storm tbe campus.
Their official reign extended from 12:30 until 8 p. m., but illusive rumors suggest that a coup d’etat was begun in the wee sma’ hours of the night before, A profound ignorance and cherubic innocence prevails as to any knowledge of participants in the plot, which seems to have centered around the flags and insignia of the respective classes.
Clash in Debate
Inaugurated with a speech before a crowded chapel by Claude Reeves, student body president, ceremonies began with a debate, “Resolved, That the present system of final examinations as now carried on in the University is not to the best interests of the students and should therefore be abolished.” The affirmative side of the question was upheld by two able exponents of tlie freshmen class, “Al” Wesson and Stuart Wright. The sophomores on the opposing side w'ere Florence Gilbert and Fred Axe. The decision was rendered by three judges, who handed their verdict to Reeves.
The fateful cards he spread out in his hand in quite the conventional fan shape. The audience held its breath suspended. The pension of that moment grew intense. The silence became painful. Reeves cleared bis throat. He started to speak At last: “Gentlemen, what do you bid?”
