HARD DAYS AHEAD
OF TROJAN SQUAD
Three Strenuous Sessions
Prescribed in Printing
for Pitt Eleven.

IS Vic hSSOClhleu. FIebS,
r OS ANGELES, December 27.-The
L, going will be tough for the Uni
versity Of Southern California
IL foot ball team today, but tougher
Saturday and Monday under the
schedule Of scrimmages prepared by
Coach Howard Jones, who plans to have
his men at peak form New Year day
for the Pasadena Rose Bowl game with
Pittsburgh.
Jones said his first string and its re-
serves were in condition, but needed to
be toughened up bit, so he prescribed
the three herman Scrimmages."
In the week of preparation already
past Jones has drilled the line on de-
Tense and instructed his team in stop
ping Pitt plays. In the remaining days
he plans to specialize on offense.
Saturday the TrojanS will move to
Pasadena, probably for one workout in
the Rose Bowl. They had planned to
practice in the bowl Monday, but Pitt
has asked permission to use that turf,
and the TrojanS will drill on the Pasa-
dena Junior College field.
Most of the injuries to Trojan grid
sters this year have been recorded dur
ing the scrimmages with which Jones
tops off preparation for important OPP
ponents. Fans are in fear some i'm
portant cog will be incapacitated before
New Year day and have begun specu-
lating on who could be spared with
least serious results. Garrett Arbelbide
and Francis Tappaan, ends and Harry
Edelson and Ernie Pinckert, halfbackS.
were the ones wished the greatest luck
in escaping casualties. Reserves OF al
most equal caliber are ready to step into
the shoes of any other of the players.

Another surprise performance
marked the women'S class, which
was led by Mrs. E. Fenton, with a
three-game set of 313. Mrs. Fen
ton also shot we'll above her ordi-
nary pace.
De Elmo wasn't hashy. He
rolled consistently we'll through
cut. His rather slow, almost
straight ball was effective in get
ting spare breaks, and he seldom
missed. At the end of three
strings he had 404 naples and a
sizeable gallery collected behind
his alley. This didn't bother him
noticeably, but in the last two
games he slowed down. His scores
were 1879, 1872, 1873, 119 and 100.
Trailing him was Eddie Espey, young
star of the Arcadia team of the District
League, with GIT. Espey, who is still
in his teens. made sensational debut
in the District League this season, with
a set in the 400 class. Last night he
started weakly. with a game of 80, but
improved as he went along, beating
each preceding score, in this wise: SO,
Ill, 121, 140 and 146.
Espey and Jack Deputy, the latter
from Hyattsville, were the only recog-
niZed stars to shine for the night. Dep
uty tied L. Pliler. with GOT. They were
third.
Deputy Has Tough Luck.
Deputy would have done much better
had he been able to take advantage of
opportunities in the last game. He
picked a spare in the ninth box and
after sparing in the tenth cut a deuce.
In this unlucky string he also had
box.
Red Megaw, the Temple wizard, who
was moved up in the schedule by re-
quest. had tough night. Three of his
five games were under 100 and his total
5l3. Ordinarily Red could beat that

are getting in plenty of hard prepara-

creasingly apparent that the battle for
/ the crown this Winter will be unusually
interesting
Every one Of the schools right now
looms as a real contender. Even Bust
ness, which has been in the cellar in
most every championship race for some
time, regardless of the sport, looks sweet
this season on the court. =
Tech, the defending champion, has
engaged in only one formal game in
which to some it was not overly i'm
pressive, but there is no denying that
the Mckinley School has plenty of
high-grade talent on its roster.
Western, which finished second in the
| title parade a campaign ago, has an
other stalWart five.
| Eastern has squad of capable play
erS and Central is thought certain to
show decidedly better than last Winter
when the Blue and White relinquished
the championship to Tech.
However, doubtless a clearer line will
| be had on the actual strength of the
contenders after January 2, as every
team except Western is slated for action
in the opening days program.

Because the town lacks fore

ago we created a City Planning
Commission to anticipate just such
things and to plan for Elizabeth City
to grow beautifully. But that COM
mission has never functioned and
mas gone by default. No one should
be permitted to erect a building OF
any kind within the city without
first submitting the plans to City
Planning Commission for approval.
Such a Commission should be en-
powered to disapprove plans for any
building that would be an eyesore
or in anyway out of harmony with
the architecture of it's neighbour
hood. No man should be permit
ted for greed or spite to erect any
building that would injure the prop
erty of another unless some urgent
public need was served thereby.
I'VE ought to resurrect our City
Planning Commission and, while
the General Assembly is still in ses-

deal with any and all such cases."
