CUBS DOWN U.S.C. FROSH IN BOVARD FIELD MUD
POT PEE VEE GEE AI STEERING WHEEL
Creator of “Pome*” and Other Wild Ones Will Edit Campus Wheeze
Paul V. Oreene, the papa of little Willie little L111*' t,le guardian of Archibald, and the god father of Anne-belle and the original producer of “Pee Vee Gee," will handle the helm of Wampus this year. Greene was elected editor of the cat yesterday at a meeting of the Ivory Club, in the Journalism building. He succeeds Wendell Neeley, who was forced to leave school because of 111 health.
Greene writes free verse—darned
free_tie possesses a sense of humor,
something very rare In the most of us, In fact, there is nothing against Greene except his wild attempts on a tnando-
inHe does no little quarterbacking and ending on the varsity and handles a mean racquet in the rough game of
tennis.
Editor Greene remarked yesterday, after the meeting of the Ivory Club, that the first edition would be but a pleasant memory when November ebbs away. The first attempt of the so-called humorists on the campus will come forth labeled The Thanksgiving Number. A peppy cover, with some new idea like a turkey and a small boy with a hatchet, will be perpetrated by Wampus’ near artists. Several wild artistic creations are promised for the innards of the cat.
Any would-be funwybone tickler, so-called humorist, or, in fact, any dub that thinks he has the right stuff to gain a giggle from the U. S. C. student body is invited to ship his stuff to one of the Wampus editors—in fact, cartoons will even be considered and given the once over. The three men who will receive perpetrations of so-called wit are Paul Greene, at the Z. K. E. House, on Ellendale Place; Al Wesson, at the P. A. House, on 28th street ,and George Don Ashbaugh, at the D. B. T. House, on Flower street, or to the Trojan office, in the Journalism building.
LEX CLUB 10 HOLD
By Phil Farman
Next Thursday will witness the active reappearance in college affairs of the Lex Club—that all important organization of the College of Law, whose constitution is the unwritten law, whose chapter rooms are in the county jail, its colors champagne and claret, and upon whose coat of arms is emblazoned the flaming motto, “To keep the faculty from finding out anything abuut us.”
Large Fund on Hand At the meeting steps will be taken to increase its activity. It will be reorganized, new officers elected, and funds in the hands of the present treasurer will be accounted for. lt is rumored that quite a large pile of fiheckels lies locked up in the great green vaults of the treasure chamber.
Old As the Hills The club was organized a long time ago at the College of Law, when, the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. Since nlnteen seven It has had an active history; before that mostly legendary. It is really the Interfraternity council of Law School, composed of two members from each fraternity. Before the war it was the hig organization, and the faculty trembled at its power, and the meeting is called to restore it to its old-time Place.

FROSH GRID MEN DENY CHARGES OF MISCONDUCT AFTER FAIO ALTO GAME
By Geo. Don Ashbaugh
Elsewhere, In today’s Trojan, appears an editorial apologizing to Stanford University for an alleged breach of hospitality committed by members of the U. S. C. freshmen team while in Palo Alto. The Stanford paper, The Daily Palo Alto, appeared the day after the U. S. C. frosh victory with an editorial, very well written, with nothing but the most courteous language used, deploring the fact, that relations between Stanford and U. S. C. had become strained. The straining hinged upon the fact that our freshmen had upduly created a disturbance on the Stanford campus by parading in pajamas. by stealing silverware from a restaurant, by sticking gum on the phonograph records and various other childish tricks.
If the U. S. C. freshmen did these baby tricks, there is no doubt in the minds of the student body here, but that they shduld be severely reprimanded. Considering the offenses it seems that a spanking would be quite appropriate. The Trojan, today, in its
itorial, is apologizing to Leland Stanford University for the conduct of the men.
Coach Herd, in an answer to the editorial the other day denied that the freshmen created any undue rough house. He said that all the damage done was a rusty lock being broken. This was paid for. He said that several sugar bowls were borrowed from a restaurant, for which a deposit was left, and when the bowls were returned, the deposits were refunded. The pajama parade, he said, consisted in congregating the men in one room for "skull practice." He denied the fact that any gum had been used to plaster the carpet, the floor, or to improve the music of some of the phonograph records.
The following players, grabbed heifer skelter on the campus yesterday, swore to the following statements:
J. W. Milton said: “It is a plain case of sour grapes. They exaggerated everything we did. We didn't put any gum on any phonograph records. There was a lit,tle excitement, but it was all in the hotel downtown and off their campus. We made no noise more than any bunch of fellows would make Irfter a victory.”
W. H. Guthrie said: "Some of the fellows started to take some sugar bowls from the hotel for souvenirs, but they were all returned. There was a little water thrown in the rooms, but it was only enough to settle the dust. It probably sounded like a riot, but it was only the fellows eating soup or something.”
George Freeman said ftiat no policemen were called and that there was no public disturbance. According to him all the noise waa quieted down hy 10:00 p. m.
Thatcher Taylor said: "We tried to sing a little and it disturbed people. Maybe there was quite a little disturbance, but it was only among our own bunch in the hotel room."
If our freshmen and Coach Herd speak the truth, and we have every reason to believe that they do, on most occasions, then there Is nothing to apologize to Stanford for except trimming their freshmen—but if we may believe the Stanford paper, which has always been exceedingly truthful in its editorials—well, we know several freshmen that will be taught that U. S. C. has something in this world which must be respected, that they, as individuals, must not lower the reputation of this university, and that they, as varsity football men next year, must expect to be Men and not children.
Weird Oriental decorations — a Budda and seductive Incense, and black magit—all these and many other features will combine to make the “Soph-Frosh" party the biggest class event of the year.	*
Evelyn Griffin, vice-president of the sophomores, who has general charge of affairs disclosed a few features ol the big event to be staged tonight at 8:OH p. m. in the ‘Y’ hunt. According to Miss Griffen, adjectives fall short to aptly describe the reception the sophomores intend to give the fresh men. A few however will give a small idea, here they are—charming, weird beautiful, grand, intoxicating, dazzling ghostly, WHAT—but these are only a few.
And let all frosh remember that the party is to be given in their honor, and they are especially urged to come.
Extensive Plans “Since the middle of last month the various committees have been working on plans for the party, es pecially those of decorations, and i' would be a pity if there were no! t< proper response from the freshmen. Miss GrifTen declared.
A Buddha is to grace a pedestal while Oriental Incense will permeate *he air. The hangings will be ven elaborate and in fact everything will lend to a dominant effect.
The sophomore-freshman party is I tradition of U. S. C. and must not fal flat for lack of a proper response from all Bophomores and freshmen, say soph officers. Anyone who nurses » preconceived notion that thiB is going to bo "slow" in any sense would bettei consult Evelyn Griffen, and incident-, ally she has a few little surprises to |
pop tonight!	•__
The program is to be a snappy I affair and will consist In saxaphonc and violin soIob, an Oriental dance, black magic, readings, and skits.

HERALD MEN SPEAKS BEFORE PRESS CLUB
E.	E. Hollingsworth, of the Herald, addressed members of the Press Club at their dinner held Friday night at the Spanish Inn. He spoke on reporters’ copy and the make-up of the paper, tracing the course of a Btory from the time the reporter is sent out until the paper appears on the street. He illustrated the manner in which the dummies of the Herald are made up, and explained the various sizes of type and their uses. As Mr. Hollingsworth has worked on the copy desk of the Herald, he was able to outline the work of that deBk as i% is handled in a large newspaper.
Aside from the technical processes of the paper. Mr. Hollingsworth gave his listeners three rules for reporters: “He honest, be straightforward, and tell the facts.” He also answered very satisfactorily a question which was asked him as to his opinion of the place of women in the newspaper world.
“The advent of woman into the newspaper game has served to make It a cleaner and better profession, just as it has all other lines of work into which she has entered,” he said
Press Club members who heard Mr. Hollingsworth speak cnme away feeling more enthused than ever over newspaper work and Its possibilities.
Those present at the dinner, in addition to the Bpeaker, *were Marc N. Goodnow, George D. Ashbaugh, Winifred Varner, Frank Price, Lucy Landau, Dorothy Cole, Monna Bethune, Albert Tachet, Milton Inman and "Chauncey" Alcott.

Sophs Lose Bus On Way Back

GAY JUNIORS FROLIC: AT BROOKSIDE PARK
Marion Joplin, Floyd Tarr, Lose Dignity on Merry-Go-Around
Young Mr. Hardy of Columbia University isn’t the only American college prodigy. We have several right here at U. S. C. Of course, it would he poor policy to expose the Identities of the juniors who caught a ride on a merry-go-around bearing the sign, “For Children Under 14 Years Only," at the picnic held at Brookside Park Frlduy afternoon. There wouldn't be enough space in The Trojan for the list of names anyway.
We’ll let you in an this secret— Floyd Tarr. junior president, and Marion Joplin, dignified vice-president, were "among ’em.”
The juniors lost their dignity in other ways, too. Those who could not ride played baseball or various age-old games such as Three Deep and Still-Water. No casualties were reported, although some of the fellows thought they were playing football. All this exercise provoked a real appetite and hy 6 o’clock everyone was ready for “chow.”
As there were 120 Juniors ln the bread line, it was quite a task to furnish enough food. However, there was plenty, and those who could not eat one apple ate two.
After lunch games were tried again to bring back the pep. Quite a few left for home at this time, but enough remained to make things Interesting. The bonfire was started and the evening program begun
Albert Butterfield, master of ceremonies, produced a lively bit of entertainment about a huge bonfire.
An entertaining program consisting of readings and skits was given, after which popular songs were the order of the evening.
At half past eight the tired but happy Juniors, accompanied by their right able chaperones, Professor and Mrs. W. R. La Porte, wended their way toward their special P E car.
Juniors who attended the affairs voted lt a rousing success.
SUPERIOR WEIGHT AND PUNTING OF CUBS TOO MUCH FOR TRICKY BABES
Fighting an uphill battle throughout the entire game, though at times they seemed about to come out on top, the U. S. C. Frosh went down to defeat before the California Freshmen last Saturday afternoon by the score of 14 to 6. Though Bovard Field was wet and slippery as a result of the heavy rain, and fumbles were the frequent result of this condition, the game was one of the most exciting and closely contested on the Southern California program this year. Both teams were capable grid machines, and though the lighter Trojan babes were badly handicapped by the mud and obliged to take the short end of the score, the flght they displayed under adverse conditions up to the last second of play was a credit to every man on the team and to Cliff Herd, the frosh coach.

Rcyal Order * of Rooters Is Revied
The Royal Rooters’ Association Is to be revivified, reorganized, and reinstated, according to Gwynn Wilson.
The purpose of this organization, old-timers will remember, was to keep an organized flying squadron of rooters, who sat in a body at each football game, and unburdened torrents of concerted yelling. Sadly enough, this worthy organization faded out spasmodically in 1915, and has lain dormant ever since.
This week the presidents of the various colleges of U. S. C. will meet and plans will he laid to make the Royal Rooters’ Association a working body ln time for the hig Oregon game.
Volunteers will he called for, and a hearty response is expected.

California 8cores First
Early In the first quarter the Cal. frosh made a touchdown after an exchange of punts unfavorable to the Trojan babes gave them the ball with 35 yards to go. Nichols made 15 and further attacks made downs In three tries. Straight plunging football carried the ball the remaining ten yards, with Witter making the score. Slier kicked goal.
Immediately after this, Milton for the S. C. frosh klckpd off. The ball took a twisting, undecided course and eluded the Cubs, although they were able to get their hands on it. Milton followed the ball with unerring accuracy, scooped lt up, and ran to a touchdown while the Berkeley crew came tumbling after like the heroine of the Mother Goose rhyme. The kick failed and the score stood 7 to 6.
Lose on Punts
The S. C. frosh tried hard to make ground during the rest of the quarter, but were repeatedly forced to kick, and though they held tho Cub onslaughts. they lost on the kicks, with tbe result that the ball was generally ln their territory. On one occasion they blocked the kick and Milton recovered on Cal\’s 40-yard line, but a moment later a fumble gave the ball to Berkeley ln the middle of the field. The ball was with S. C. on her 40-yard line when the quarter ended. During this BeBslon. as ln the others, Milton, Campbell and Lawson played a remarkable offensive and defensive game.

Dr. Betts Reads Heart Secrets at University Church
By Chauncey
Men, lull, dark, manly men of commanding presence, high moral standards and good Christian character, who are umbftlous, modest and neatly dressed and do not use tobacco, alcohol or profanity, are wanted by the young ladles of the University Methodist church. These qualifications of the Ideal young man were listed ln letters from twelve of the young ladles of the congregation, read Sunday evening by Dr. Will A. Betts, pastor of the church, In the first of an unusual series of Sunday evening services.
That only educated men, athletic but not athletes, with a taste fur music, need apply, seemed to be almost the universal opinion umong the ladles. In fact, the only thing not required was manly beauty.
The letters appeared on white, pink, blue, buff and lavender paper, and were written In prose, acrostics and doggerel verse, but the contents were strangely similar. According to Dr. Betts, some were signed and some were unsigned, but he knows who wrote them. However, he is not telling the names even to men who think they measure up to the requirements.
Number One specifically wanted a Jolly, cheerful man, with an attitude of sincerity toward girls. Number Two desired a preacher If possible Number Three would be satisfied with a man with practical religion if he were au Interesting companion. Number Five and Six wanted a poetic temperament, In addition. Number Seveu said her ideal looked good but was not good looking Number Eight wanted her man to be musical but not to earn his living by music. Number Twelve was the only oue who did not want dark hair; she preferred red, hut he must be a minister.
For the benefit of the meu. Dr Betts said that Jie thought these Ideals possibly atUluable In preparation for tbe service next Sunday he asked for letters from tbe young men on their Ideal young women. The two following Sundays will be given over to the opinions of the married people, wbose years of experience will possibly color their desires.
