TROJANS LIMBER UP STIFF JOINTS AND ROLL OFF FAT
Husky Gang of Grid Gamboleers Are Out for Places on the Varsity
HENDERSON PULLS PSYCHIC
Coaches Talk about Goat Glands, Babies and Baseball, But Have Quietus of Football
By Carl Farman
Gloomy Gus Henderson ia silent, Bill Hunter saws wood, while Cliff Herd says it’s a nice day—and in the meantime U. S. C.’s first football game, with California Tech, is only two short weeks distant. The University might be a young ladies’ seminary for all her coaches have to say—off Bovard Field. On the field it’s a different story.
There Henderson and Hunter are engaged in whipping together a varsity which S. C. students fondly hope will make the other California, to say nothing of the Pacific Coast, elevens look like 40 yen. Herd at the same time is putting a bunch of peagreeners through difficult maneuvers that should put them near or at the top of the frosh football ladder.
Psychology Stuff Going Strong Henderson is reported as saying that psychology wins football games, which beiu? the case, the 1920 eleven ought to be goinb great guns inasmuch as nine psychic letter men from last year’s varsity were on hand Tuesday afternoon to fondle the pigskin they love to touch. An equal number of soph psychics, who won numerals last year under Herd, were out at the job of winning higher grid honors. The varsity men were: Evans, Dean, Beale, Leadingham, Toolen, Isenhauer, Smith, Woodward and Townsend. From the looks of their showing in practice it appears they are back in full strength, their hoary old age and medals of honor having failed to unfit them for the gentle horseplay of the gridiron.
Sophomores out Tuesday included: Calland, Greene, Boyle, Leahy, Lindly, Eagen, Farman, Black and Gordon. The old-timers will apparently get a run for their money from these men, and from general appearances it’s going to be some run.
Bill Hunter New Coach Coaches Henderson and Herd are well-known to U. S. C. as pilots of last season’s victorious elevens, but Bill Hunter, who will be Henderson’s assistant, is comparatively new to the football fans of the University. He is a graduate of Oberlin, Ohio, and while there learned the game from Snyder of Harvard, the samt- coach who taught Gloomy Gus the tricks of the trade. According to Henderson, he was the best fullback ever turned out by Ohio.
Doc WestoS will be on hand as trainer, as he was last year.
Thirty Men Out Tuesday Reports from Tuesday, the latest available, show thirty men reported for varsity practice, while twenty-nine young peagreeners desirous of annexing a numeral were at that time giving Herd the time of his young life. Workouts consisted in signal practice, falling on the ball, catching forward passes, and more signal practice. The frosh added the pastime of tossing the pigskin to one another as one of the afternoon’s activities.
Blue Sweaters for Varsity Most of the varsity had bright blue sweaters and gray pants, a handsome combination that showed off their curves admirably. A few, however, were obliged to tog themselves out in various leftovers fiom bygone days, but these economical hopefuls did not appear to be seriously slowed up or hampered by the fact that they re sembled a cross between a patchwork quilt and a second-hand clothing store. In fact, a riot, of color produced a high amount of action.
ExPrex Reeves was also on hand to add a needed atmosphere of scholarly

REGISTRATION EXCEEDS
ALL FORMER RECORDS
In common with the large registration reported by a great many of the colleges and universities, unofficial figures given out by the three colleges on the campus which open today, show a decided increase over the figures of last year. Besides the College of Liberal Arts, the College of Commerce opens its doors today for the first time as an official college, while the College of Oratory has become a major school, granting a Bachelor of Arts decree.
The Liberal Arts registration, official, up until Tuesday night, showed an increase of 200 over the registration at the same time last year. An attendance of from 1800 to 2000 students has been predicted. Last year, 1600 students were registered for the first semester.
Many from Other Schools Miss Russell stated that a great
many upper classmen have registered from other schools, particularly from those in the Middle West. In spite of the dropping of the College of Medicine many pre-medical students are entering since Liberal Atts remains an accredited pre-medical school. The Freshman class is expected to number about 500.
The College of Commerce, newest addition to the colleges on the campus, reports a registration up to date of 150, with a probable final registration of nearly 200.
A. B. in Oratory The College of Oratory, which has been granting special teachers’ certificates, is now offering courses which lead to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. An increase of 30 per cent over the registration of last year is expected.
The College of Theology and Pharmacy, which will open later, are expected to show a like increase.

OLYMPIC HEROES TO BE WELCOMED
U.S.C. will welcome its returning Olympic team members, “Charley” Paddock, “Spec” Schiller and Roy Evans, with a downtown parade and the first rally of the year, upon their return next week.
A live speaker and plenty of pep are promised for the meeting, which is to be held as soon as the men arrive. A large number of newly shined and noisy Fords to follow the band downtown are requested by Gwynn Wilson, Student Body president, who is in charge of arrangements.
NEWSHOUNDS WILL GLADDEN EDITORS
Journalism students are rejoicing over the prospects of some more of the grand and glorious trips which delighted the hearts of the knights of the Underwood and, gladdened (?) many a Southern California editor last year when aforesaid students took complete charge of a real paper for one issue. The first of these trips to be taken is Saturday, October 31, to Whittier, according to Marc N. Goodnow, head of the Journalism Department, who has arranged to take some twenty or thirty cub news hounds to the Quaker city upon that date.
There will be one or two more trips during the winter months, after which The Trojan staff and other members of the Journalism Department will rest until spring. The plan is to have one trip a month later in the spring.
It is the belief of the administration, the head of the journalism department and advanced students who took the trips last year that students gain a great deal in this way by putting into practice the principles learned in the classroom. The Venice Vanguard and San Bernardino Index were put out by Trojan reporters and reporteresses last year under the direction of The Trojan editor and Mr.
Goodnow.
Remembering the joys of the ban Berdoo trip in particular, and recognizing ti\e fact that the feeling of fellowship which exists in the journalism fraternity, would-be writers are looking forward to the trips this year with keen interest.
FACULTY TO HAVE P|CNJC
IN TOPANGO OCTOBER 2
Saturday, October 2, is the date scheduled for a faculty picnic Jn To-pango Canyon. This is to be the first of a series of parties planned by and for the U. S. C. faculty.
FRESHMEN! GATHER IN CHAPEL Al 11:40
;T
Starting this year’s activities off with a bang President Wilson has called a Freshman meeting for 11:40 today in the chapel.
The verdant additions to the student body will be instructed as to what they must and must ont do; they will be told where they must go and when they must go there. All Freshmen are supposed to attend this first meeting of the year. Aside from the mere fact that they will learn things to their advantage they will be enabled to ascertain their strength and will become acquainted with one another.
Matters of interest will be taken up by the officers of the student body and the upper class officers. The frosh will be coached in traditions and various other little things that, if paid attention to, might save them from numerous duckings in the old
tank later in the year.
The next big event on the calendar will be the meeting of the upper classmen, including Bophomores, in the chapel at 11:40 Tuesday. Needless to say there will be many things of importance discussed and voted upon.
The annual Frosh-Sopho-nore classic will take place on Wednesday afternoon at 1:30. This classic, of course, is the pushball contest. Arrangements have been made to get the ball out here a couple of days ahead of time bo that there will be no delay such as there was last year.
SOMEBODY GETS INNARDS OF BRUCE’S NEW COOP
Whether some enterprising college gent started prankish activities at an early stage or not, is worrying Henry Walthall Bruce, graduate manager.
Henry has a new flivver coop that shines like a bald head. Friday Henry was to meet some “high up” downtown and made a rush for the coop. He twisted her a dozen timeH, or maybe it was two dozen, and nary a snort would she sneeze. H. *W. B. looked at the carburetor, not that he knew anything about it, then at the mag-ueto, and finally at coils. Rather he looked where the colls had been. They were gone. So was Henry’s date. He grabbed a street car. Now he wishes the gentleman, if he be such, who swiped his coils, return them. A flivver coop works no better without coils than a snake charmer would.
All members of last year’s Trojan staff meet in the Journalism class room at 12:30 today. Very Important.

Offices of Student Body and Publications Also in the Building
Sweeping changes which will provide for greater efficiency and co-operation in the Department of Journalism have been brought about through the efforts of Marc N. Goodnow, instructor of journalism.
The old journalism building has been remodeled and the entire second floor will be occupied by the Department ot Journalism with the exception of one office, which will be occupied by the president of the student body.
Spacious offices have been arranged for Instructor Goodnow, journalism class rooms, the El Rodeo editor and staff, and The Trojan editorial staff The lower floor will be used by Graduate Manager Bruce.
The new arrangement on the second floor will bring all the student publications under one roof and will aid materially in the speeding up of the work of getting out The Trojan and El Rodeo.
The office of the editor of The Trojan will be in the front of the building with the president of the student body, in Rooms 1 and 3; the editor of El Rodeo will be directly in the rear, in room 5; across the hall in room 2 will be the office of Instructor Goodnow; next to his office will be his class room, numbers 4 and
6.	In the rear of the building will be the offices of The Trojan staff. These offices will take lip the entire rear of the building and will be for The Trojan staff only.
Plans for an enlarged El Rodeo and Trojan are already under way. Tbe Trojan will be issued daily and will be free to students, following the same system as was used last year.
GET YOUR SEASON TICKET, IS SLOGAN
Preliminary sale of season tickets has been very satisfactory, according to the reports made by the committee in charge of the sales.
Slightly more than one hundred of the bargains have been disposed of. President Wilson feels sure that the sales will be heavier if the students are informed as to what they are getting for $5. The tickets are good for eight games of football. The lowest price charged for admission to any of the games will be $1.50, and some of them will cost $2.50. Thus the student who pays only $5 for the entire eight games will save himself a small fortune. This is the commercial side of the proposition.
The other Bide of the question is loyalty to the college and to the varsity. Any student who has the love of his Alma Mater even flickering in his breast will get behind the varsity with his purse as well as his lungs.
FRESHESS HAS HARD TIME FINDING HOME
Yes, even In this blase old world there are still a few of those unsophisticated people. This actually happened during registration this week:
An over dressed young girl breathing the false atmosphere of the city while bedecked in paint and rouge was accompanied by a young man who, it developed was her overdressed brother. The approached the Y.W.C.A. table in the hall and Ihe girl said: “Yes, we would like to get rooms. My brother prefers a fraternity boarding house aud I want to live in some sorority house."
The girl at the table recovered her equilibrium and explained the situation.
The moral is: “You never can tell the color of a girl’s hair by lookiug at the shoes she wears
