Coach Howard Jones indicated by
practice direction that he would favor
a more open game against the Huskies
than previously has marked the often
sive style of S. c. this season.
Hardly limp was present in the
Husky lineup as Enoch Bagshaw con-
fidently set about final preparations
for renewal of gridiron strife with
Southern California. Bob Wright,
guard, and Romeo Lauzon, center, were
not wholly in the pink owing to minor
injuries, but were expected to face the
local pigskinners for at least a portion
of the clash
Bagshaw eliminated all predictions
of victory for the Huskies in his pre-
game comment, but his smiling con-
fidence as he swung off a train here
today with 33 players and full
blooded Husky dog from Alaska indi-
Gated that he secretly believed his
team would duplicate the defeat
handed the Trojans four years ago in
Seattle
1t looked like another Sell-out of
the Coliseum late today as the eleventh
hour rush began for what remained Of
the nearly 10000 pasteboards.

PRECEDES GAME

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2 (P-A break
in the walls of Troy developed today
while a purple tornado from Washing
ton university swirled ominously near
by in preparation for descent on
the Trojan footballers of Southern
California tomorrow.
On the eve of the final clash of the
coast conference season here, John Fox,
reserve. center for S. c., was ordered to
turn in his suit because of Indifferent
playing. The former San Diego star
admitted he had slackened his pace
because he believed discrimination was
shown against him. Nate Barrager,
favored by Trojan coaches in nearly
every game of the season, will hold
down the vital station in the center of
the line without a first string sub
stitute in the Coliseum battle tomor-
row.
With the exception of Don Williams,
power back of S. c., and Fox, however,
the Trojans were ready to meet the
twisting attack of the northern giants.

Ccr,prckcrc:ve Nature

We cannot all find the same things
In Nature. She is all things to all
men. She is like the mama that came
down from heaven. "IEe made mama
to descend for them. in which were
all manner of tastes: and every
Israelite found in it what his palate
was chiefly pleased with. If he de-
sired fat in it, he had ii. In it the
young men tasted bread; the old men
honey, and the children OIL" But all
men found in it substance and
strength. SO with Nature. In her
are all manner of tastes, science. art,
poetry. utility. and good in all. The
botanist has one pleasure in her, the
ornithologist another, the explorer an
other. the walker another, and the
sportsman another; what all may have
is the refreshment and the eNhilara-
ton which come from loving and
intelligent scrutiny of her manifold
works.-John Burroughs.

Patchwork is rapidly undergoing
radical change at the hands of the
leading architects Of the country, who
are fast getting away from the old
idea that in order to supply the very
last touch in artistry It must present
q surface as smoothly even and cor
rect as if it had been nodded. No
longer is this the fashion, nor is it
acceptable to the men who dictate
architectural vogues.
Today the brickwork which catches
quickest the public eye and the pop
ular fancy must he very rough. And
the brick themselves must be of the
same order. The rougher the better.
Clinker brick. which only a few years
ago had no market at all. are now
In high favor The sw2lled brick,
which had been developed particularly
in the New England district. and the
handmade brick CT that section are
two other prime favorites.
