Trojan Coach Fears Players
Won't Be Foot Ball Minded:
Pitt Chief Lauds Foes Speed
BY BILL KERN,
Assistant Foot Ball Coach. University o

Assistant FOOT BAH Coach, university OF
Written for the Associated Press.
TUCSON. Ariz, December 24.-As far
L as I know I am one of the very
few connected with either the
University Of Southern California or
the University of Pittsburgh foot ball
teams who has seen both teams in action
this year For that reason have been
asked frequently Just what think Of
the Trojans and what chances I believe
the Panthers have against them.
Having seen Howard Jones team beat
Notre Dame I must admit that the
Coast boys are good-in fact, possibly
too good Until that game I never
knew that foot ball players who weigh
over 200 pounds could be so fast and
I never knew that Southern CALIFORNIA;
1882 team had such great defensive
line. such hard-running backs, such a
great pass defense.
never dreamed of seeing so much
power on one team as saw the Trojans
reveal that day.
IT is frequently pointed out that we
i scored one less point against
Notre Dame than did Southern Cali
fornia. But We probably caught the
Ramblers on an "off day"
The coast team has a better record
than Pitt, and that means, at least to
me, that they have a better club. OF
course, we are going to put up a scrap.
We want to win-and we're going to try.
Pitt has fast team but it will be out
sped-and outweighed-New Year day.
Another big surprise was the U. S. C..
backfeld. I had been given to under
stand that Howard Jones ball carriers
were only mediocre. Again I learned.
There were Griffith, Clark, McNeish,
Warburton, Getz and Erskine.
VIIARBURTON weighed 1855 pounds,
w Erskine 215. 1t seemed to me that
those boys had everything. They
ran hard and they ran fast. Ernie
Smith and Tay Brown are two of the
best tackles have seen in intercolle-
gate foot ball this season. They should
have the edge over our own tackles
Paul Cuba and Frank Walton.
It is my personal opinion that Brown
is a bit better than Smith although ]
would as soon have one as the other
on my club.
AS for Pitt, Warren Heller and Mike
Sebastian will be dangerous. But I'm
afraid they will find their opponents
line too tough. In Ted Daley and
Joseph Skladany we have two ends to
be proud of. But they will have their
hands full in coping with the bigger
Sparkling and Palmer.
We will wait for the actual game
New Year day. The Panthers are fight
ers and they want to win. It Is the
spirit on which we must depend.

A decrease in the expected income
from foot ball during the last season

brokers have no interest in the specific

deception comes when the brokerage

in promoting certain stock and is it

practice is disapproved by the Stock Ex-

The old rule of caveat emptor or 'let

this does not run to the extent of per-

Stock buyers should always seek the

that have been incurred in stock trans

been bought The Stock Exchange rules

Protests Against Animal
Performances as Cruel
To The Editor Of The star /:

Az bi4S GdAbOA VI AHc OtdA
Seeing animals perform in the circus
and the vaudeville Is always amusing
to some people. These acts are par
ticularly amusing to children. An
analysis of the reasons for such amuse-
ment is not difficult The emotion is
excited by the wonder Of the thing,
just as ones wonder is excited when
a magician changes a silk hat into a
bathing suit, or some other piece of
chicanery. We all know that he does
no such thing-that he can do no such
thing. but he apparently does it.
In the same way ones wonder is ex-
cited by a trained animal performing
some wonderful stunt, like telling time
or keeping step to music. We all know
it does not actually do these things,
that it cannot do them, but it appar-
emily does, and so our wonder is ex-
cited by the fact that an animal can
accomplish such a marvellous feat.
Animals used in the trained animal
acts are generally of a higher order
,of mentality than these that cannot
perform, Inborder that they may per-
form they must be endowed with two
attributes-memory and subordination
They must be able to remember that
which has been taught them and they
must be subordinate to their masters.
Memory is engendered by ceaseless rep
etition; subordination Is taught by pun
ishment.
An animal may have a wonderful
memory-for him-and may be taught
all sorts of tricks, but he will not do
them when he is wanted to do them
unless his memory goes hand in hand
with Subordination. No master of a
troupe of trained animals can afford
to have his performance spoiled by an
animals failing him at an inappro-
pirate time. In consequence he stimu-
lateS the animal into a fictitious de-
sire to do the trick by swift and cruel
punishment for the slightest deviation
from the way it has been taught to
do it. This is inevitable, as it is the
only way the master may prevent his
show from turning into a farce. A
dog or other animal must be soundly
thrashed when he goes wrong in the
rehearsals, SO that by continued repe-
tition of these unpleasant events he
knows just what he may expect should
he fail to perform properly before the
footlights A troupe leader cannot put
an animal on the stage until it has
been tried out again and again, soundly
switched for each error, or lack of
Subordination, and it is positively
known that the helpless creature is
thoroughly broken in to the work ex-
pected of him.
The cruelty imposed on animals that
perform in public is such that if the
great bulk of people who see these
acts were really cognizant of what
goes ON behind the scenes" they would
never consent to participate in such
a performance, even to SO mild an
extent as to witness the same. II one
doubts that cruelty is used in training
the unfortunate animals used in the
trained animal acts, we ask, why does
the master of the troupe invariably
carry whip when conducting the
performance"
