Christmas Eve is the party given

wise would have had no Christmas
celebration.
The small guests gathered in the
attractive basement where a huge
Christmas tree shining with tinsel
and colored lights and surround
ed by packages in gay wrappings,
attracted their attention at once.
Games of all sorts were played
and many of the guests sang songs

entertainment. Later the toys
were distributed and Christmas re-
freshmentS served them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones were assist
ed by Miss Anna McManus, Miss

TROJANS OUT
FORPANTHERS

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 81. U.H =.
The Trojans of Southern California
bowed their heads to hard work
today in strenuous attempts to COM
bine speed and power they hope to
fling against Pittsburgh in Rose
Bowl next Monday.
Coach Howard Jones. indicating
a wide-open attack will be the style
used against Pitt, had his boys
throwing and catching passes un-
til they promised to dream about
them. Griffith. Warburton, Nc
Mesh and Wotkyns were on the
hurting end.
While passes formed major part
of the drills, they were not used ex-
clusively by any means. Jones sent
the regulars and, reserves through
their repertoire of cross bucks, re-
verses, end runs and straight, hard
line plunges. Confident of his stall
wart line, Jones planned on stepping
up the speed of his attack as a
proper method of approaching Pitt.
Cautiosly he warned the Trojans
of over-confidence.
They say you're national cham
pions, but you're not to me until
you take the Panthers," he said.
You can't claim any honors If Pitt
beats you, and they tell me you're
in for the fight of your lives"
Without intimating his starting
lineup, it was generally believed
Jones would start Griffith at quar-
ter, Clark at full and Bright and
Erskine at halves. This would give
the Trojans their maximum OF
power with their first string line in
play.
Although interest in the game
isn't up to standard, Rose Bowl Of
ficials anticipate 10000 spectators
will turn out for the intersectional
contest.

PANTHERS IN
GOOD SHAPE

TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 27 W.H-
Coach Jock Sutherland turned OIL
the steam" in drills today, rela-
lively satisfied his Pittsburgh foot
ball warriors will be able to take
care of themselves when they meet
Southern California at Pasadena
Rose Bowl next Monday.
"On the whole, the squad looks
good to me-" he reported.
So it did to other observers who
have watched the Panthers work
out since their arrival here last
week.
What was expected to be the
final scrimmage session was held
yesterday when Pitt drilled for
more than an hour. The first and
second squads pitted against the
third Southern California" team,
in something of dress rehearsal =
If tradition of the stage carries
over into football, the "dress re-
hearsal' should augur well for the
Panthers because the scrimmage
showed several rough spots. The
third-stringers repeatedly broke up
the regulars passing game. Then
too the running plays of the ~.
S. c." squad functioned well, es-
pecially when Johnny Luch, de-
noted varsity fullback, was pack
ing the ball.
But despite the showing, Suth-
erland seemed assured his charges
would acquit themselves creditably.
| If not triumphantly, in the Tourn-
ament of Roses game.
THE practice showed our weak
spots and we will spend the re-
mainder of the week trying to
smooth these OUT he said.
Pitts kicking department has
been impressive in workouts. Bob
Hogan and Miller Munjas have
gotten off consistent boots good
for go yards without apparent diff
ficulty. Munjas has been especial
ly impressive and is expected to
be used more than Hogan for this
phase of play against the Tro-
ianS.
