CLAREMONT, Nov. 15.-The annual
lpajamarino, when the rooters of the col
lege appeared in their robes de mutt in
a big rally before the principal foot
ball game of the season, has been aban-
doned. This spectacular feature OF col
llege life was given up for this year, not
through the suggestion of the faculty,
but because it has Invariably been a
hoodoo for the game on the following
day. For this reason, largely out of
Difference for Captain Metcalf, yell
practice rally was substituted.
In the past the pajamarino has been
one of the most enthusiastic features OF
the year. The men students rallied In
their nighties for big parade, winding
up with bonfire rally on the football
field, where speeches and songs were
given. A big serpentine usually con-
cluded the performance, which was wit
messed by a large crowd. quieter form
of jollif1cation was put on this year.
When the Occidental team appears on
the field here tomorrow 1t will face the
strongest aggregation the blue and
white has put together for this season
The men are as rule in the pink of
condition, with the exception of "Slats"
Smith, who has been suffering since the
game with Whittier from a badly
wrenched shoulder. The men are all ex-
perienced in the game, and while they
lack the advantage Of heavy weight.
the team can play snappy ball, and its
members are believed to be able to out
play their opponents, or at least put up
a very strong defense through their
speed.
The game, for several on the varsity,
will not only be the last Of the season,
but the final gridiron contest of college
experience Captain Metcalf, who has
played on the first team since coming
from the preparatory school, will grad
uate in the spring after completing the
college course in three years. With him
half dozen more seniors will make their
farewell appearance on the chalked field
tomorrow.

announced there will be no lack of men.

Baird and Culver, two husky members
Of the team who are in their last year
here, will play at end Baird, who came
from Oberlin four years ago, has played
on the first team three seasons, and when
hurdling was allowed he was considered
one of the most proficient at this form
of gaining in the south. Culver, who has
been a mainstay of the team at half.

year The presentation will be made

ter the close of season.
No scrimmage work is being done, the
scrubs having turned in all of their suits.
The team is rounding otu it's work with
light signal practice.
The loss of the senior part of the team
to next year will be a serious one and
while there is promising material among
the lower classes, the hole cannot be
filled at the commencement of next sea-
son. 1t is believed that enough players
can be brought out by careful work,
however, to make up winning team.
Pomona will be represented on the
bleachers by a strong rooters' section,
the regular annual rally having been
held last night. The Occidental train will
arrive here at 1905 tomorrow, and the
visitors will leave for home on the 5:45
local.
