FOOTBALL SQUAD TO
GIVE FARCE COMEDY
cridlron Champs Expect to Shine as
star MeIanchoIIa Banishers and
Put Laughing Trust Out
of Business

Shipwrecked and stranded on the
desert isle of Amperzan will be the
sad but mirth-provoking predicament
of the Occidental college football team
in "plug ugly" for the benefit of the
Occidental athletic fund in the college
chapel tonight.
Assisting the gridiron champions in
the farce comedy will be all the star
melancholia banishers of the institu-
ton.
The plot of the play carries the vic
tins of the nautical disaster into the
tyrannical arms of the monarch of the
island, King Hittemup, in the person
of Lyle McKenny, who is finally per-
suaded to spare his victims from the
luncheon cauldron by the entreaties of
his charming daughter, Princess Baza-
"a, Clarence Brewer.
Owen Bird, representing Bos'n Dry
salt, will exercise his vocal proclivi-
ties for hurdling octaves in the solo
events. Edmund Pugh has been pro-
cured at great expense from the staff
of the Homely Ladies' Journal to ad-
wise the coy heiress of the royal posses
sions in all matters of etiquette.
Jeffrey Morgan as Tutti Frutti, the
regal Jester, aids materially toward
relieving the complication of the situa-
ton with verbal knockout drops, which
| completely put the laughing trust to
| fight.
A stupendous collection of masculine
| maids compose the chorus.
| AS a fitting prelude to the entertain
ment the college "O's" and sweaters
will be presented the football players
who won the championship of the south
| for Occidental last season. Those who
| will receive the letter are Bower, Burt
| Collins, Wieman, Fred Thompson, Fred
Johnson. Crane, Hopkins, Kellog, Mer-
ril, Patterson, Petty. Rush, Henry
| Thompson and Conrad. Mcdowell will
be awarded managers sweater for his
| faithful work during the season.
The presidents cup for the winning
class in the interclass tennis tourna-
ments will be presented a representa-
| tive of the sophomore class at the same
| time, together with the basketball cur
for the championship of the college
which will be given the freshman class
Miss Bertha Boal of the senior class
will make the awards.

The song. which is supposed to be
sung by the youth of the United states
calling upon Roosevelt to accept thlrd
term, was originally intended to be
New Years GIFT to the president. But
delay in the designing of the cover
which IS thoroughly unique-caused the
mailing of it to be postponed until last
night.
So, as Captain Sands explains in a
letter to the president, although the
song is sent after the latter's refusal to
rerve another term, yet the writer
opinion is the same as before.
The verses are beautifully embossed
upon buckskin. This is tied with thongs
the entire cover being about eighteen
inches by a foot.
The front cover has groups of youths.
male and female, representing each OF
the insular races comprising the United
States. The Philippines, Porto Rico
Cuba, the Mexicans, the Indians and
negroes, as well as Esquimaux, are all
depicted in water color.

lands, while ir the center is a design
