Henderson goes to Detroit bear
ing an impressive record as
coach. He came to use in 1919,
when the TrojanS were push-overS,
and in five years lifted them to
national prominence In 1924 he led
them into their first RoSeboWl
game, and an easy win over Penn
State. From use, the man they
call Gloomy Gus moved to Tulsa
which was then strictly jerkWater
insofar as football was concerned.
Before he left he saw Tulsa team
ranked sixth in the United States.
His last job, and the one he has
right now, is that of coach of the
Los Angeles Bulldogs. His Bulldogs
have won 40 games and lost five
in the past three years. In that
time the Bulldogs have played all
but three of the National profess
sional league teams.
When he moves to Detroit next
August, Henderson will take two
Bulldogs with him. One is Gordon

the Blue Devils moved into the
Rose Bowl for their first and only
workout here. They were downcast
by the knowledge that their CO.
captain and line star, Dan Hill,
might not last more than a few
minutes against the Trojans.
Hills injury, suffered in a work
out last Tuesday, and which was
believed to be nothing more SER
iouS than a 'crick" in the back,
has developed into something Sc
we're. Coach Wallace Wade admit
ted last night that while Hill
probably would start, there was no
telling how soon he would go out.
The loss of Hill early in the
game would be devilish blow to
the Blue Devils. OF the seven
Iron Dukes" he is the shield and
the inspiration. On defense he
sets every man, and when Bob
Spangler isn't in the backfield, it
is the semi-bald Hill who calls
the signals. The Dukes have a
potentially fine substitute center
in Gordon Burns, but he has play
ed fewer than Is minutes this year
and lacks the seasoning to step into
the heat of Rose Bowl fire.

-Story of Jerusalem

turies old, the Temple of Solomon
was destroyed. Soldiers Of Nebuchad-
nezzar, the Babylonian conqueror,
had captured and set fire to Jeru-
salem.
That was the time when tens of
thousands of Hebrews were taken to
Babylonia as slaves. During the So
called "Babylonian captivity" which
lasted more than so years, they kept
thinking Of Jerusalem. They had
been proud Of their capital city, and
wanted to go back and build it up
again.
At last the Hebrews were set free
by Cyrus, a Persian emperor who
defeated Babylonia in war. Many
went back to Jerusalem, and set to
work building the Temple Of Solo,
mon over again. The new temple
was not 80 grand as the one which
had been destroyed. but it was i'm
portant in the life of the people.

"Urusalim" was an early way Of

Solomon.
Solomon is the most noted Of all
Che Hebrew kings. He held the
throne for 81 years.
One thing Solomon did was to
build up the foreign trade of his
country. Since the Hebrews had no
interest in being sailors, he made a
bargain with the ruler of Tyre. a
Phoenician seaport about rs miles
from Jerusalem. The sailors Of
Tyre carried goods far and wide for
Solomon. The trading included such
items as gold, silver, ivory, apes and
peacocks."
