Vol. VIII Are There Any More Pebbles? Ask the “Frosh" The rally Friday noon was declared by all freshmen to have been a great success. “Within five minutes after the rally, every one of us was out on the football field,” said one. The freshman failed to add that it was not football they went out for, but stones. Once on the gridiron the “frosh” were given galvanized pails wtih all the galvanizing off, and sent down the field in a row. They started away as though they were in a footrace and came back to their starting point in short order. The winning colors were crimson and green. Then the freshmen were lined up so that a photographer could take a picture of the young blades bowing before the breath of the student body president. A dozen freshmen were given brooms and shown the bleachers. They quckly grasped the idea. Clutching their brooms they waltzed along the planks. Of their own accord they began at the top and worked down. The field is now said to be in fine shape for the bootball men. It is perfectly safe; if anybody wants to have a rock, he will have to run over to the southeast corner of the lot to get it. Los Angeles, California, Tuesday, October 3, 1916 AUTO 10 SEAL BEACH FOR CARE FREE PICNIC Miss Sedweek’s Chorus Sings the “Grasshopper Melody”—Few Students Brave Sea EXHIBI 10 BE SEEN AT Fifty frolicking seniors filled a truck more than full when they departed on their picnic to Seal Beach on Friday afternoon. Half a dozen doubled up next to the driver on the front seat. Some preferred to stand rather than sit and submit to the cramps of sardine-like packing and the prevailing bumps en route. Two brave souls sacrificed their inherent “safety-first” rights when they sat on the extreme end of a long plank which extended some yards behind the truck. A care-free spirit of jollity reigned and there was much singing on the way. Miss Edna Sedweek’s specially-trained chorus was called upon repeatedly to render the “Grasshopper Melody,” which they untiringly did throughout the course of the journey. Dr. and Mrs. Frank J. Klingberg and Professor and Mrs. Oliver Mar-ston chaperoned the party and helped roast “weenies” and serve the “eats.” “Bill” Dallas, Ben Ortley and Floyd Bradley braved the sea and gave an exhibition of deep surf swimming. President “Bill” Dallas demon-I strated some of the preparedness prowess he reaped at the border this summer by swimming out to the end of the pier and climbing up a thirty-foot pile. Climbing up to the top of the pier, “Bill” presented some of his enthusiastic co-ed admirers with a slimy “sand dollar.” They Say They “Put it Over ’ the Constable It happened at the senior picnic. Two sombreroed seniors were involved. Their names are Hal Hughes and Herschel Griffin. The town marshal of Seal Beach remembers them well. Wood was needed for the senior bonfire. Griffin and Hughes were delegated to produce some. After scouting around for a time they managed to find a wooden sidewalk. Under this sidewalk was a good deal of wood. The two seniors made advances upon the sidewalk. They paid little heed to a distant observer—at first. But when the fellow came near enough so that the seniors could see his star, they turned away to watch the sand-spit. Griffin began to dig in the ground under the walk. “We dropped some money,” he said, cautiously hiding a quarter. “Ten-” began Hughes. Griffin prompted hoarsely. “Ah — a quarter,” finished Hughes. “We lost a quarter.” Griffin triumphantly “found” the coin and held it up to the startled gaze of the town marshal, who sat down on the sidewalk to think it out. Thinking was a long process with him, and the two seniors, after a consultation, decided to leave him in possession of the field, and the sidewalk as well. L. A.

Wood before the Los Angeles Center, Drama League of America at its regular meeting 011 Oct. 5, at 8 o’clock. The meeting will be held at the Los Angeles public library, 011 the eighth floor of the Metropolitan building, at Fifth and Broadway. Dr. Allison Gaw will preside. The program is preliminary to the visit of the great Hindu poet, who will appear on Monday evening, Oct. 9, at Trinity Auditorium. At the same meeting, Mrs. Helen Taggart Foie will read “Chitra," one of Tagore’s poetic dramas. Mrs. Pole is the wife of Reginald Pole, the well-known stage director. A Week Will Find Team in Mid-Season Form, Says Captain “Herb” Jones Trojan football men put in a profitable afternoon Saturday scrimmaging with the Los Angeles Athletic j Club eleven. The results of this prac-1 tice were more than pleasing, for the varsity athletes showed far more knowledge of football than was expected of them so early in the season. Most conspicuous in the afternoon’s play was the work of the backfield, which resembled a well-oiled piece of machinery in operation. Speed and team-work characterized its action. Murray and Mallette, quarterbacks, took turns in picking holes through the “Mercury’s” line, while Craig frequently bucked through for considerable gains. Jerry, by the way, is hitting the line much harder than he did last year. “Bill” Huyke at halfback simply could not be stopped, and tore great holes in the club’s defense, while Clark, a new candidate for the same position did likewise. Fox and Marks, at tackle, gave a wonderful exhibition of how that position should be played. Eddie Simpson left his well-known place at center and rendered a god account of himself on the end of the line. Charley Johnson, the well-known “beef-trust,” filled Eddie’s shoes (filled is right). Herb J ones, also at end, played his usual good game. Herb was naturally optimistic over his team’s showing. He said: “A week from now we expect to have the team in mid-season form. The fact that the athletic club’s players are inexperienced does not detract from the Trojans’ showing, for their line averaged 20 pounds heavier than ours. Professor Knoles, Coach Cromwell, and Capt. “Herb” Jones Expound Football Lore at Big Jolly-Up; Girls Give Skit by Miss Pentland. “It’s easy to be a good winner, but it’s hard to be a good loser; and the only way to make losing easy is to cheer the loser with all your might,” declared Prof. Tully Knoles at the football rally last Friday. “Come out on the bleachers, folks, and give the boys all the encouragement you can,” added Professor Knoles. Coach Dean Cromwell gave a chalk talk 011 football tactics, in order to stimulate the interest of those who are not well-posted on the gridiron sport. He also urged the students to get into the bleachers and support the team, especially during afternoon practice. Captain “Herb” Jones was on hand with a talk in which he gave the names of several men who are not out (Continued 011 page 4) An advertising campaign to increase the attendance at the California-U.S.C. game is now being planned. Every means known to modern efficiency will be called upon to assure a record crowd. Billboards throughout the city, cards in down-town windows, and dodgers thrown into automobiles are a few of the means by which public attention will be attracted. A cornetist will probably parade the streets several days in advance of the game and other novel schemes will be forthcoming. Prof. F. J. Baum, instructor in advertising at Liberal Arts, will employ the expert talent of his students to aid the work.
