The TroIans have had sore very

TROJANs TLUNK ATHLETES

1ROJANS tLUNk ATHLETES
Those critics who have charged
the University of Southern California
faculty with being too sympathetic
for the dumbness of some of its
athletic young men may be surprised
to hear of some Of the latest occur
rences OF the Trojan school,
So changed are things at Southern
California from what these critics
would have you believe that two
young men, whose athletic skill far
eclipsed their scholastic inclinationS,
have been taken off the athletic list.
You may never have heard OF
Frank LabeS, but just two years ago
he was at prep school in New
York city and was being hailed as
one of the best young throwers OF
weights in the track business.
Even last year, after he had
matriculated at the Los Angeles
school, he was lauded highly for his
ability to heave weights far and
wide. Dean Cromwell, in watching
him do his stuff, must have visioned
many points for his Trojan team
in the next three years from his
weight tossing.
Only a few days ago, however, the
young weight thrOwer was ushered
out of the Trojan school because ne
had somehow allowed his athletic
ability to dwarf his regard for schOI-
astic work. He had fIunked, in other
words.
SECOND DRURY FAILS
Another young man named Don
Moses, who became a Trojan hero
during the past football season, also
learned few days ago that he had
not been as good scholar as he
might have been
In fact, young Moses barely escaped
the fate of young Mr. Labes-he was
declared only ineligible for next years
football team.
Now, that was sort of a shock to
Howard Jones, who remembers only
too well how young Moses flashed
as fullback against the Washington
Huskies this past fall.
Young Moses even impressed his
usually reticent coach into announc-
ing through the public prints that he
expected Moses to become as great
a 1OOIUd1 prayer DIS morley OTury.
That, you know, would have been
some football player, as Morley
Drury happened to be one of the
four best backs in the country this
past year and graced practically every
All-American selection of Importance.
But times have changed, if we
believe that times were ever different
than what critics of the Trojan
school say they were, and the young
Trojan athletes are finding out that
classroom work can interfere with
their athletic careers.
STOPPING THE CRITICS
All of this is due, so one hears,
to the efforts of Howard Jones since
his arrival there three years ago to
impress other Pacific coast teams
that the Trojans we're not the "bad
boys" most people thought.
Just very few years ago, Stanford
and California had both threatened
to prevent it's young men from en-
gaging in athletic conflict with the
young men from Los Angeles if the

POLICE GOLD BADGE: BILL TURNED DOWN
Finance Committee Considers Sl66 for Two Is EXorbitant

Three aldermen V ~ho attended a meeting of the finance committee of the common council last night flat }y refused to approve a bill of S166 for two gold badges for the police department one to be worn by Lieut. Samuel Bamfolth and the other by Lieut.. Matthias Rival on the ground that the price vas ex- crbitant and the expenditure un- warranted.
 The badges were furnished by the Porter o, Dyson Co. and the bill vas approved by Chief of Police William C. Hart. It. vas reported 10 the board that former Chairman Eodman W. Chamberlain had spon- sored the purchase.
 Chief Hart vas conlmun,cated nlth by telephone and he declared the price ls not much higher than the usual run of gold badges.

 Chief Hart vas again querled and he explained drive has been start ed 10 rid the'city of unlicensed dogs and dogs roaming the streets, When one is picked up the orner is noti fled and if he fails 10 appear, the dog IS killed.
 Alderman Falk asked If publicity had been given the fact that the drive is on and learning that there was none he expressed his dissat- isfaction with the procedure in most emphatic terms.
