Destruction Nil
As SC Rooters Celebrate Victory
by Charlie Barnett Daily Trojan Editor
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7—Forward Ho!
In this city’s Union Square and in a Palo Alto stadium, streamliners and cable cars, that was the cry of the Tro-n army which invaded this area for a weekend of fun and otball.
The principal attraction for this rmy of SC rooters was, of course, e 21-7 Trojan football victory ver Stanford yesterday. But for :ost of them there was also a eavy schedule of parties, sightseeing, and rallies.
Downtown San Francisco teem-with students shouting their ew “Forward Ho” yell and singing “Fight On,” but destruction 'as held to a minimum.
Weekend activities began early hursday evening when the “Starlight” pulled out of Union Station Los Angeles. The night train’s C cars seemed quite spirited un-lil about 2 a.m. when the Trojans egan to 6tretch out in their seats or some sleep.
Some Read SC rooters’ cars on the “Day-ght” were relatively quiet all the 'ay Friday. After a water pistol uel and some singing about 10 .m.. the Trojans settled down to laying cards, conversing, read-jg, or sleeping. Reading material anged from comic books to a iextbook on constitutional law.
Meanwhile, thousands of other rojans were motoring or flying northward. Many parties began oon after arrival.
Although the pre-game midnight ally had been officially cancelled,
1 ore than a thousand Trojan stunts and fans had gathered in ont of the St. Francis Hotel by e strike of 12.
Leads Yells At about 12:05, the San Fran-sco Police and Yell King, Don "ard, arrived from different dictions in time to deter an at-ick upon cable cars. Ward led ;veral yells from atop an auto-jobile.
After a conference with the po-Ward, shouting “Forward jo” with the confidence of a bat->lion commander, guided the :wd out of the street and into e center of Union Square. The ojans sang and cheered to the une of exploding firecrackers.
Several of the overzealous rooters lit small newspaper fires on the idewalk. but were restrained from adding any other fuel. The lazes soon burned themselves it. An attempt to burn a tree 'as quickly stifled by other stu-ents.
Homecoming Visits to Fisherman’s Wharf nd hotels and night spots were ncluded along with cable car des and parties on the Friday ight agenda of many of the Tro-ans in San Francisco. In Palo Ito, the Stanford Homecoming I arade was a major attraction.
Saturday night the Trojan root-rs again broke away from their ther activities to assemble at Jnion Square for a midnight vic-,ory rally. Firecrackers again pped as the students and alumni heered and sang, but the only ire set was in a trash can.
As the rally broke up, one oup shouted “Forward Ho” and gan a parade through the lob-ies of hotels. The St. Francis, cross the street from the Square,
'as the first stop. There a white-arded man led the group in sev-ral yells.
Water Bags
The parade group continued rough the Sir Francis Drake, he Fairmount and several others. y this time, occupants in several f the hotels were dropping paper ‘gs of water on those assembled r passing by on the sidewalk.
Probably the most dangerous cident of the weekend activities "urred when someone tossed a ouple of water glasses and a bot-e out of a hotel window. No one 'as injured, but it was reported hat the bottle landed on a police ar, denting the top.
Sirens screamed through the ight, as polic* kept watch over activities ol the Trojans and (Continued on Page 3)

First It's Coral, 4 Persons Still Then Lavender; Hospitalized in
Smog Blamed
By Carl Strobel
Smog, which usually gets blamed for everything anyway, was put under fire today for changing the color of an SC student’s tie. But in performing the trick, it may have given a powerful tool to smog researchers.
Jim Sharpless, civil engineering student, donned a bright coral tie over his wife’s protests before setting out from his Lynwood home Thursday morning.
A friend later remarked that coral and lavender seemed an odd color scheme for a tie.
Chemical Reaction
Dr. Joseph S. Smatko, head of SC’s chemical engineering department, said that smog had evidently caused a chemical reaction that changed the color of exposed portions of the tie. The front cf the tie was unharmed where it was covered by a tie clip and the knot.
Sharpless’ plight was eased somewhat when Dr. Smatko remarked that the dye used in the tie would serve as an excellent smog indicator, changing color in proportion to the amount of smog in the air.
The tie may even help to determine the composition of smog, according to Dr. Smatko.
Oxidising Agents
Dr. Smatko said smog is known to contain ozone, ozonides, and peroxides. It was oxidizing agents derived from these chemicals that were responsible for the deed.
Sharpless has worn the tie before, but always in cold weather, and with no dire results.
Commerce School Has New Course
Tower Accident
A Camp Pendleton Marine received an unexpected two-month furlough from duty as a result of SC’s annual high school band day on Oct. 30 — but he’ll have to spend it in the hospital.
Cpl. Jack Vierkorn, marine band musician suffered a fractured collarbone and pelvis injuries when an observation tower, loaded with people, collapsed on Bo vard Field during rehearsal for the Coliseum event.
Halftime Announcer
Dr. James Rue, visiting assistant professor of tele-communications and Coliseum halftime events announoer, who received a fractured radial bon* in the left arm in the accident, reported that his arm was still in a cast and that he was suffering muscle spasms in his right shoulder.
Of the 16 persons hurt in the mishap, only one of the more seriously injured has recovered sufficiently to be released from the hospital.
Music Head
San Marino High music department head, Charles Costarella, who suffered soft tissue injuries, was released from Alta Vista Hospital, Pasadena, last week.
Aubrey Marsee, Corcoran High school band director, is reported to be doing well at Queen of Angels Hospital. Still in the Inter-Community Hospital is Wayne Gilfrey, Puente High school band director, with a fractured left leg and several broken ribs.
The School of Commerce has opened a new course in managerial policy with 14 leading L. A. businessmen serving as weekly guest lecturers.
The class, open to senior students in business administration, was arranged by LeRoy M. Edwards, adjunct professor of business administration and Dean Lawrence C. Lockley of the School of Commerce.
Banking, employee training, governments controls, and labor re-Charleston.liations are among the lecture themes.
Troy, Marquette Rifle Teams Meet
A rifle match by mail which started last Monday between the SC and Marquette University rifle teams ends today.

SDX Initiates
14 Members To fraternity
The SC chapter chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalism fraternity, initiated 14 as members last Friday afternoon. They included practicing professionals, SC students, and a sub-chapter of graduate students from UCLA.
Fletcher Bowron, former mayor of Los Angeles and now president of a city news service, was one of the professionals initiated.
Robert Rutland, L.A. Times staff member and UCLA instructor; William Arnold, assistant director of territories with the Department of Interior in Washington; and Darsie L. Darsie, J^os Angeles newspaper man were also among the professionals taken into the organization at the ceremony in the Student Senate chambers.
Trojans initiated included Bert Snow, news editor and co-photography editor of the DT; Jim Foley, news editor; Jim Silknit-ter, editor of this year’s Jubilee edition and former news editor; Mark Thoreson, news editor and DT columnist; and Murray Brown, DT sports editor.
The UCLA students were initiated at SC because the UCLA sub-chapter is not authorized to hold initiations. They are Paul Perras, Claude Lekime, Vernon Faulkner, Ervin Harlacher, and Robert Oates.

38,000 See Troy Take Advantage Of Tribe Bobbles
by Murray Brown Daily Trojan Sports Editor
STANFORD STADIUM, PALO ALTO—Nov. 6—The Trojans left the field today with the momentous job of living up to the Rose Bowl bid they won by beating obstinate Stanford, 21-7.
Their victory over the Indians was regarded with indifference by the majority in the Homecoming crowd of 38,000 because the fans were primarily interested in how they would come out against unbeaten UCLA.
Not only do the once-beaten Trojans face the grim prospect of putting the prestige they gained here to a test against the nations No. 1 Bruins in two weeks, they have to do it against Notre Dame and probably^No. 2 team Ohio State as well.
HiU’s main concern now, however, is defeating Washington next Saturday.
SC Explores SC held off a surprisingly strong Stanford ground attack in the first half, then exploded for their last two touchdowns in the second half and for the second straight week won by the predicted amount of points.
Playing against an Indian team Coach Chuck Taylor said “did the best it could,” the Trojans were outdowned 10-3 and out-gained 137-80 as the half ended.
They were also kept to one touchdown at that point—a 17-yard Jim Contratto to Aramis Dandoy pass—by the squad that UCLA crunched 72-0. That touchdown, coming on a 35-yard driv* in six plays, was helped out by an Indian fumble.
Did Unto Indians But in the second half, although Troy capitalized on another Stanford bobble to score their second touchdown, they did to the Indians what the Indians had done to them in the first half. SC outgained them after it was over 305 to 291.
Again it was Contratto who set up the score on a 16-yard pass to Dandoy, who was bowled out on the 1-yard line. Then SC’s southpaw quarterback sneaked acros* and little specialist Sam Tsagalakis split the uprights for the second time to make it 14-0.
The Indians, a persistent lot with every intention of upsetting their rivals who hadn’t lost here in the last 50 years, drove toward scoring territory again and again. Four times they threatened, having a 42-yard Jerry Gustafson TD pass called back by a penalty, but, as has been their custom this season, the Trojan* sauelciied the Tribe auernot to score.
Brown, CaUbria Shiiie With sub wingback Ron Calabria and sub tailback Ron Brown speeding past Indian tacklers like an ambulance on an emergency call, Hill’s gridders showed the stuff expected of a Bowl representative. They mechanically marched off 75 yards on this fourth-period drive ,with Brown sweeping end for 19 yards and a touchdown.
Soon afterward, Stan Brodie, the nation’s No. 4 passer, was sent in. He had the success of George Shaw and Paul Larson before him against SC as he connected five tmies out of five with his aerials. Jhese deadly passes propelled Stanford from its own 35 to a score, fullhacK Joe Moreau counting from the 4.
All Too Late Brodie’s score, which prevented his team from going down to its worst shutout defeat at the hands* of the Trojans ,came all too late to arouse any victory hopes among the partisan throng.
The Indian quarterback didn’t see action earlier because Taylor was satisfied with the manner in which the more experienced Gustafson was controlling the ground game.
The Trojans had a bad break that lost them a sure touchdown. Substitute Quarterback Frank Hall, faking a pass, tucked the ball under his arm and headed for the Tribe goal line, some 34 yards away. He shifted pa5t sev-(Continued on Page 3)
