University of Southern California Re-
habiIitate Shattered Schedule and
Football Work Is Bright for
Remainder of Season

At last the threatening cloud that bas
darkened the football prospects for the
rest OF the season at the University of
southern California has melted away into
a welcome tinge of silver lining. the hoo
doo that has been throttling the varsity
schedule has disappeared and the an
nouncement of plenty Of games brings re-
nef 10 the d1sheartened Methodist team
and It's supporters. who had begun to fear
no more contests would be played this
year.
A bit Of tall hustling on the part of
Manager Carl Hunt and Coach Holmes
has revealed any number of teams who
are equally desirous of games. and be-
ginning this week the balance of the
varsity schedule will be marked not only
10y Saturday contests, but by popular
mfdweek games in addition.
Play Redskins November 20
The most important game arranged, and
the one of most interest to the public.
is the game to be played with the sher
man Indians on Thanksgiving day at
Bovaro field. Manager Hunt of the uni
Verslty completed arrangements with Su-
perintendent Hall of the Riverside insti-
tute yesterday $500 guarantee being the
stipulation required by the Indians.
The u. S. C.-Indian game last wear
was the biggest drawing card of the sea-
sun. and provided the braves make a good
showing against Pomona and Occidental
a crowc of like proportion should be on
haLd to witness the contest on Thanks
giving day this year.
1t is known that the dusky warriors will
be able to present practically the same
team that put up such a splendid exhibi-
tion last season, and if the Methodists
take advantage of the months training
between now and the time of the contest
a rafting good scrap should be the re-
suit. Plenty of rivalry has always char
acterized the games between the univer-
sity and the Sherman lads and this
years set-to should prove no exception.
Minor Contests Arranged
That the team may have plenty of
practice before the big holiday affair,
Holmes has arranged a goodly number of
minor contests that will no doubt furnish
good sport for the varsity. Wednesday
cf this week the Riverside city football
aggregation will come to the city and
will play the Methodists on Bovard field.
In case L. A. high still refuses to fulfil
her agreement for a game Saturday a re-
turn game with the Riverside eleven
will he played on Friday of this week.

cient announcement to insure good sport.
Lineup Changes Probable
Several shakeups on the varsity would
not he surprising. A number of new men
have shown up unexpectedly strong in the
past two contests and the regulars will
have to look sharp to their positions.
Goo6enow, sub-lineman, is playing espe-
cially clever ball and seems fitted to
assume duties at almost any position on
the line. His playing in the Whittier con-
test displayed great aggressiveness, and
he will be given every opportunity to
make good in the coming practice games.
Skinner, at half, is also showing marked
Improvement, and with little more prac-
tlce will be able to hold his own with
any of the backfield artists. Wallace, at
erd, although youngster at the game is
proving his right to consideration by the
coach, and will be given further chance
to display his abilities in the midweek-
conte SITS.
