SEA IN TRADITION TANK
By George Don Ashbaugh Gaudy, grim-vlsaged green freshmen ntered the fair portals of this Institu-ion yesterday morning much as they ave been entering them since along k. latter part of September, when helr timid steps led them up the teps. They have been entering the -me way since that time, by follow-ng their steps up the steps, if you ither what we mean.

AND NAVY LEAVES 10 FIGHT AT PASADENA
November 11th, at Tournament ark, Array and Navy will clash ln a football battle that promises to be "lied with thrills and brilliant plays.
ch fighting eleven has enrolled in ts ranks, All-Americans, and besides the experience and size of the players, there exists that ancient rivalry between the representativs of the U. S. A. on land and on sea. The coaches of both teams are themselvs members of that great mythical eleven chosen each year through the efforts of Walter Camp and Walter Eckersall. Captain Andy Smith of the March Field team was a member of Eckersall's eleven, years ago, while Ensign Bill Ingram, who assists his brother in running the team, is an all-American half.
This game will be the first of the annual Armistice Day clashes between the Army and Navy, and should prove a second New Year’s battle, making Pasadena more than ever the center of great athletic festivities.
The lineup of the Navy team:
Right end—Saunders.
Right tackle—E. H. Von Heimburg. Right guard—Raymond A. Gardner. Right center—Samuel Arthur.
Left guard—Smith.
Left tackle—Simeona.
Left end—McNally.
Right half—Walcott Roberts.
Left half—Fielding.
Quarterback—Bill Ingram (captain). Full back—Wilson A. Benoist. Saunders at right end is a new man, but heavy and fast. Von Heimburg is not as dangerous as his name would imply, and played end with the Navy team of 1918, being captain that year. Gardner hails from Colgate and is fully capable of holding his own against anybody. Samuel Arthur is the all-American star center, who played with the naval academy three years and is still a demon, hurling the ball to the backs with bullet-like velocity.
On the left side of the line, Smith holds down guard position. Though he hasn’t any rank or title to distinguish him, and no long years of col legiate football behind him, he is just a hard fighting gob who is perfectly willing to kill any army man he faceB. Next to him is the wily Philippino, Simeona, whose rushes through the opposing line and ability to break up plays has endeared him to the entire fleet team. McNally at left end played that position for Ohio State.
But the pride of the team is the backfield. Beginning with Walcott Roberts, who held down right half for three straight years on the Naval Academy team, and turning to Fielding, the great 220-pound Indian left half, who plunges through the line with head up and body thrust forward, a human cannonball, and watching the full who stands between them, Wilson, another Naval Academy giant, and finally Bill Ingram of the Naval Academy, all-American quarter, one is forced to admit that there was never a finer backfield. They have played so long together that there seems little need for signals. They know what to do, and 'hen, and they seem to “feel" the Plays. Three have evaded the envy's lines so often that there exists * spirit of perfect co-operation, while the big Indian half needs no assistance to force his way toward the goal The navy team is sure to outweigh the army eleven, and this will prob ®hly be a distinct advantage, as both teams have played only a few games this season and will begin to feel the wear and tear when the second half rolls around Then lt is that weight "'ill count. Pasadena expects to see a fine game, for she still remembers the Qreat Lakes eleven and the Marines. And from a Navy viewpoint, *ne is Bure to have ,t a week from Thursday.

caps softly bosomed abaft their brows. Most of them wore other more conventional head drapery, and at they en-tred they were duly catalogued and numbered. Shortly thereafter and here—ah, here—lies the tale, they were dragged forth and gently allowed to gambol merrily over the slimy bottom of the “Love, Honor and Obey" tank. Most of them seemed to enjoy the affair; in fact, some of them exprssed the fact that It was delightful to obtain a free bath when they were in the habit of paying four bits per each for their monthly ablution.
Freshmen who had created no atrocious crime were soon convinced of the fact that their hair was parted crooked, that they wore their caps too much to the leeward, or that fresh men are ducked Just because they happen to be rooks.
Perhaps one of the gayest of the ungay freshmen, who rolled tempera mentally through the mud slush in front of the tank and submitted to the forced bath, was the biggest youngster in college, a young hippo from San Bernardino, who carries the title of Merritt Barton. His friends call him “Tiny” along with such notables as “Baby” Calland and “Midget” Town send.
“Tiny” hits the Fairbanks at some 440—referring to pounds, not yards-and after his bath It was necessary to call off the proceedings for awhile until the city well filled up again.
Young Mr. Schultz tried unsuccessfully to stage the old stunt of taking a shower in the dressing room and try Ing to coerce the duckers Into the notion that he had hit the slimp deep. His attempts were unsuccessful, and he became a member of the great band of duckees.
It is rumored about the college that the authorities were not in entire sym pathy with the affair and conse quences may develop. So far no de velopments are apparent.

JUNIOR CLASS MEETS
IN ARISTOTELIAN HALL
By Floyd Tarr
There will l>e a junior class meeting j today, Thursday, at 12:30, in the Alls totellan Mall (third floor), ('ome and hear the jazz and get In on the final plans for tho big picnic. Juniors, the only way to get acquainted is to go linlf way, and the best place to start Is to come to all class meetings and get in on all the good times.
Have you a name? Nothing unusual Is it Smith? If so, you are not alone You have 30 fellow bearers of the burden registered in the College of Liberal Arts. There are also 16 children who have had fathers named Miller, Thompson rambles In third with 14 proud owners and Brown comes fourth with 13.
However, by far the most remarkable fact disclosed by the investigation of the records of the registrar’s office is that although Smiths attend their classes in squads and even sometimes in flocks, their mothers, by some supermundane efTort managed to give them all appellations. No two can rightfully claim the same title.
The others are not so fortunate. We have Gladys Francis Thompson and Gladys Mary Thompson, Ruth Lucille Rogers and Ruth Elinor Rogers.
Shades of Sherlock, fellows, what would you do If you went to the office to get her number? Which one would you call up?
Which leads to the cerebrum cracking question! Will L. B. Baker some day soon discover that he has lnad vertantly taken one of those examinations for L. J. Baker? Will Marlon Paul Cook (we don’t know either of them) ever spend that check from home that was intended for Marlon Cook? Does Ruth E. Jones ever eat lunches for Ruth M. Jones? Do the two Tom Browns—but far be It from us to presage needlessly. The whole affair is in the hands of a relentless £ ate
Still we wildly wonder! Will G Wilson get Gladys Wilson’s credits in cooking or will he get Glenn Wilson s credits for zoology?
Again enough! There follows a list picked at random from the fileB in the Registrar’s office, read ’em and marvel: Roberta Davies and Robert Davis, Harriet Brown and Harry Brown (perchance affinities by some hidden decree of providence?), JameB Chamberlain and John Chamberlain, Florence G. Jones and Florence H Jones Harold Jepson and Lowell Jep ■on Let us hope that the registrars assistant implied nothing when she put first Eva Black and then Eva Blacker
As for mere names, we have with us „ substantial second of the notorious John Brown, a William Brown, who Ib the sole one of that name, ln addition to two gentlemen who respectively labor under the cognomens of Regl nald B. and Lionel Cornelius There Is also a certain James Victor Brewer, but It is Impossible to discover whether or not he is still a brewer.
GOLF AT STANFORD
Stanford “U," Oct. 28-The royal and ancient pastime, golf, will bei»dded
That the University of Southern California will become the center of educational work for religious leaders is the belief of Dr. William Hints, who visited U. S. C. last Friday, and who Is candidate secretary of the Home Mission Society of the Methodist church.
According to Dr. Hints, religious leaders have gone heretofore from the middle west to the east for their educational work, but this is soon to de changed, and they will be coming to U. S. C.
The Home Mission Society, which has its headquarters at Denver, Colo., said Dr. Hints, has over 1000 paid workers in the home field, and the opportunities for trained men and women in church work are many. “This will be a splendid field for women with college degrees,” stated Dr. Hints.
Rural work, work in the lumber and mining camps, downtown churches and teachers for rural leadership form the special fields for these workers. Dr. Hints is looking over the local field to secure candidates for scholarships leading to this work.
Fifteen U. S. S. students from the religious training department are doing part-time religious work at present.
Hard times sho’ seemed a “knockin' at de door” at the Armory, Friday night. Gloomy Gus in patched over alls topped with bedraggled straw hat, was even tempted to grin when he beheld Calamity Jane, toothless, with hair in numerous pigtails and berlb-boned with all the colors of the rainbow.
Five hundred joy seekers marched in review to the jazz of the Delta Beta Tau orchestra. Tha individual prize was awarded to Claude Reeves, exstudent body president, and the couple prize was won by Miss Edmundson ind Miss Bunker. Alpha Chi Omega distinguished themselves in a gypsy song and dance, carrying off the group prize.
The program in the gym was “all that it had been cracked up to be." Fatima would have turned green with jealousy at the Oriental dance given by Miss Sara Maud Dunham, and the Pi Phi's presented a delightful travesty on young Lochinvar.
Side parlors In the Armory proved weird, dens of fortune tellers, whither the poverty-stricken fortune seekers went, to know their fate.
Doughnuts and cider constituted the refreshments, in true Hallowe'en fashion, and candy suckers were passed around in childish ecstasy. Apple-'duckers,” emerged looking as if they had made a recent visit to the frosh tub.

Sphinx and Snakes will meet today I in room 14 at 12:35 p. m.
By Morgan B. Cox
Playing rings around the Stanford freshmen last Saturday, Coach Herd’s frosh have proved themselves to be well up in the running for the freshman championship of tho State. This title will undoubtedly be decided next Saturday on Bovard Field when the Trojan peagreeners hit the U. C. Babes In their annual battle. That this tussle will prove to be as exciting as any varsity match Is assured in the way In which the two teams have been playing ball this season.
Scoring Power Equal
A comparison of the points scored by the two teams gives the Bears a slight advantage of some 5 digits. On the other hand, however, the California frosh have had 16 points scored against them, while the Trojan Babes have so far never had their goal line crossed The total number of points scored by the U. C. Babes Is 172 to 16 scored against them. The Trojan frosh have scored 167 points to none scored against them. The teams that were able to penetrate the Cubs’ defense were the University Hi School, for 6; Mare Island for 3; and the College of the Pacific for 7. All of which brings up the Interesting comparison as to the competition each team has so far had to combat.
The Trojan eleven has not had the same stiff opponents that the Califor nia Babes have had to contend with On the other hand, the California gang took six games to score approximately the same number of points the II. S C. combination tallied ln five. The comparisons of teams played does not show that California's opponents have been that much stronger than the teams that have met U. S. C. this season. In other words, the U. S. C. offense seems to have a little more kick than their rivals.
Bear Babes Strong Defensively
This same cannot he true In the exact measure with the defense however, as the offensive ability of the Davis Farm gang, and the College of the Pacific are not to be denied. In both of these games the best they could do was a grand total of 7 lone digits to California's 55. However, in the Davis Farm game she was only able to score twice, as the teams were very evenly matched.
The only strong team that the U. S. C.' frosh have battered this season is the Stanford gang, and lt Is now very evident that the Cards’ infants will not stand a ghost of a show against their old Bruin enemies when they meet.
In this fracas, however, the frosh showed just how strong they can be If they have to. The potential power of this infant gang is very large, and it Is that which must be measured In lining up the two squads.
Potential Power Big Factor
On paper, at least. It looks as though the California HabeB have shown their full potential ability against their old enemies, the Davis gang. In the same breath lt Is a good plan to stop and consider the strong team that DavlB has this year, and that the frosh game Is the big game of the season for the farmers Can the U. S. C. frosh rise above the ability of the Davis gang?
As the teams stack up now, It certainly looks as though the frosh have a battle royal on their hands against a team that Is a trifle stronger In experience, but whether this slight advantage will be of any material aid next Saturday seems to be negligible. Both squads are about as evenly matched as any Impartial football fan could wish for In a game of this Bort. thereby cutting things down to the old point of “the gang that has the most fight and uses its head in the pinches"
Is the bunch that will stand the best chance of bringing home the bacon.

IKETS FOR OREGON GAME SOON ON SALE
Early preparation for the crucial Thanksgiving gan'« between the Ulii versity of Oregon and U. S. C. Is already being made by Graduate Man ager Henry Bruce, who announces that tickets will be placed on sale next week at the sporting goods stores in the city. Season tickets also admit to this game.
From all Indications it now appears that U. 8 C. will meet their northern opponents with a clean slate and a record unsustained by defeat. In addition, if ever the Trojans round into championship form they will be iu that condition Thanksgiving; and with the champions of the south meeting the team which was last year chosen as champions of the west, a desperate battle should result.
Tbe game will undoubtedly draw the largest crowd, with tbe exception of the New Year's games, that ever Haw a gridiron contest in Southern California, and the early preparations will in all probability be Justified by the demand for tickets from the football fans of the south.
In their first big jollification of the year, the sophs will Journey tomorrow to Santa Monica canyon for a big picnic. Over a hundred second-year students have signified their lnten-intentlons of going so far and more are expected to be among those present when the big busses, which will take them, leave from the university tomor row at 12:30.
According to "U-No-Me-Al” Wesson, president of the sophomore class, all that Is needed by the sophs to go on the picnic is a lunch, bus fare, and perhaps a young lady or a man, as the case may be, although they are far from being absoluteiy necessary on such an affair as this. It is planned for the students to eat their noon lunches at the university, as usual, and the lunch which they bring will be used later In the afternoon, probably aided and abetted by the oid reliable sandy beach “hot dogs.”
Persons owning ukes or any other form of plunk-plunk music murderers are urged to bring them, as President Wesson says he wouldn't be a bit sur prised if the party forgot to break up at 6 o'clock in the evening. Games, races, swimming, and an all-round good time are to be the features of the afternoon’s entertainment. It might be a good idea for the •"'phs to bring their bathing suits.
As the soph officers were unable to obtain a cross-eyed chaperon, they went to work and found a good natured member of the faculty, who said he could be more than cross-eyed when necessary. The chaperon is expected to be one of the features of the party.
Any soph who wants to miss a good time is urged to Htay away from the picnic by “U-No-Me-Al.”

TENNIS ACTIVITIES
AROUSE INTEREST
Members of last year’s Tennis Club are to meet today at 1:15 in the gym office. Plans for the coming tennis tournament, November 8, are to be formulated.
Interest is running high and according to the growing list of entrants for this tournament It should be a noteworthy event. New applications for entrance are being received daily, and the men are urged to sign up now because Friday, November 5, is the last day uatnes will be taken.
The results of this tournament are to be use din deciding the eligibility of each man for the tennis club. Also all men wishing to try out for the varsity should enter so the coach can get a line on all prospective material. This tournament will give many a chance to limber up and match their skill against the best the University has ln this line.
Men wishing to sign up for this preliminary tournament should see Mr. LaPorte or Mr. H. lt. I<ee not later than Friday, November 5.
A.A.E. PLANS INITIATION
I The American Association of Engl neers held a meeting yesterday at the ivll Engineering building, at 11:40. Plans were made for the Initiation and "get acquainted” meeting that is scheduled to come off at 8 o'clock Friday ulght.
Tbe program will last about an hour and will consist of boxing, wrestling and similar stunts.
There will be an important meeting of the new members of the A. A. E. at Civil Engineering building today at 11:40. All new men are urged to be present.
This standing of the greatest teams of tho West Is, according to all the games that they have played, and does not apply to the standing In the several conferences of these above colleges. It does not show very well the relative strength of the teams, but It will bo some such system as this whereby the Westorn team will be choBen to play the New Year's gnme at Pasadena Out of the three colleges with a 1.000 per cent, one must fall next Saturday, when Washington State and California clash. At present, from the showing of the teams last Saturday, the Northerners have the advantage over the Bears of California.
The State of California reigns supreme among the collegiate football teams of the West. Berkeley, U. S. C. and Stanford, have beaten the teams from other states, nnd now must flght It out for.the East-West game. Last Saturday, the California Bears proved their superiority over the Oregon Aggies, which had trimmed Washington, und been beaten by the Multnomah A. C. But the victory of the Berkeley eleven was not as pronounced as tho other great victories sho has won tills year would load one to expect. Stanford won undying fame hy conquering the University of Oregon, the team that represented the West in last year’s Tournament game, ln all probability "Dink” Templeton was the man most responsible for that victory. His marvelous punting ability kept the Orange and Green from the Cardinal goal, and his drop kicking and place-kicking made possible the 10 to 0 score.
These figures Immediately call to mind the similar outcome of the U. S. C.-Stanford game, In which tho Cardl-nallBts lasted the dregs of defeat. A more direct bearing on the strength of the teams will come in tho Thanksgiving game between U. S. C. and Oregon. If U. S. C. should defeat the latter and Stanford should boat California on Nov. 13, then U. S. C. would stand first to be picked for the big game. That Is, providing that California defeats Washington State, noxt Saturday. If matters should be reversed and Washington State should win from California, and if California should conquer Stanford, and If U. S. C. should still win from Oregon, then there would undoubtedly have to be a post-season game between U. S. C. and Washington State, 10 determine which team should represont the West.
If the University of Southern California defeats Oregon on Thanksgiving Day at Tournament Park, which seems highly probable at the present time, then It Is impossible to declare U. S. C. out of the running for the East-West game, and either she will be chosen then or else she will have to meet either Washington State or California.
A final angle of the mlx-up might be this, that Washington State should fall before California and Stanford should defeat the Bears, then U. S. C. would be the only university of a 1.000 per cent on the coast. When the Thanksgiving Day game was pulled, even If U. S. C. lost, she would still be In the same class with tbe other universities, all having lost one game, and the Tournament of Hoses Committee would simply have to shut their eyes and pick either Washington State, Oregon, California, Stanford or U. 8. C.
