Much Indignation Felt at Occidental
Over cromwelI's Announcements.

by CHARLES JERNEoAN

Much comment has been caused. pro
and con, over the fact that Coach
CROMWELL of the football team of the
University of Southern California
contemplates using Selph and Nc
Gregor OF the law school n the annual
game with Occidental. The contest
will be held Saturday afternoon at
BoVard field. 1t has even been said

For the last three seasons u. s. c.
has defeated the eleven from the Pres
byterian institution In the annual
game. Last seasons defeat came as an
especially hard blow to 0xy, as their
team had shown UP previously as being
far stronger than that OF the Metho-
dist institution.
This year with a team of huskles
which has swept everything before
them. and with the additional advan-
tage of the experience of Coach Cor
ton, Occidental has been making
preparations to celebrate the victory
over the squad from u. s. C. The girls
have been sitting up nights making
banners. while the young men have
been saving up their allowances for
fireworks. Some few weeks ago Oc-
cidental took a fall out of the u. S. c.
law school team. The first down was

of the spectacular playing OF Charles
McGregor and Edward Selph OF the
law school
Poor Old oay
Imagine the horror felt at the High

of these two players appeared on the
lineup which viii face the flower of
Oxy next Saturday. Conversation has
been carried on at Oxy in whispers. No
longer does the yell leader employ his
time drilling his trusty corps. Even
the Weiman brothers look pale when
they report for studies.
1t was and is believed at Oxy that
Coach Cromwell jumped a cog when he
added these boys to his lineup. Gorton
will not. however. make protest. Such
is the final word received from tho
much abused college. Probably II would
not do Gorton very much good II no
should protest. The University of
Southern California Is unfver-it 1t
is not a college or a home for disabled
Jack rabbits. Therefore. just why the
university in question should not use
players on the varsity lineup from the
College of Pharmacy, College of Dem
tistry. College of Physicians and Sur
geons or the College of Law many fail
to comprehend. The much discussed
conference rules do not bar players In
any of these divisions who are upper
classmen. Both McGregor and Selph
are upper classmen
Corton has developed one of the
fastest, most resourceful and heaviest
e!evens which ever trod a gridiron of
California del Sur. 1t Is a safe bet

fight will be close and the score In
doubt until the final whistle has blown,
AS 1t is. many believe that the Pres
byterlans will win. If Gorton's men
are successful then the fireworks and
banners will come in handy. Anyway,
1t should be fast football. and the less

tactics and anything to win" the
better.
