Sportswriter Dubs SC 'Trojans' for Spirit Shown In 1912 Football Came . When the fighting’ * eleven of 1912 rushed out on the field to represent Southern California, there were no cheers for the Tro jans, Not a single onlooker burst into the Trojan Fight song and the Trojan Big "1" yell couldn’t be heard from the stands. The reason the Trojans weren’t Trojans. They were called Method ists because of the affiliation of the university.at that time with the Methodist conference. The man to give the SC student body and athletic teams their fam ous name was Owen K. Bird, form er sports editor of the Los Angeles Times. In one of his sports stories he wrote, "Owing to the terrific handi caps under which the athletes, coaches, managers of the univer sity were laboring at this time, and, at the same time, appreciat ing their splendid fighting spirit and the ability of the teams to hold their own against the overwhelm ing odds of the larger and better equipped rivals with their colors gloriously nailed to the mast, i( seems to me that the name ‘Tro jan’ most fitted the players.” When Bird dubbed the 1912 var sity men Trojans, the name stuck and for 32 years Southern Cali fornia men and women have ear ned on the spirit of Troy he de scribed. D Saturday, Oct. 28, 1944 Art League Mixer Held The witches whirled, the spooks howled, and everyone had a swell time at the Allied Art league mix er last nigijt, held in the little art gallery at the'art'School. Chuck Politz started the even ing’s games off with an apple-eat ing contest, which won Ada Ander son a jug of cider. Another jug was presented to Patricia Bowers, wno made a good guess to the number of beans there were in a jar. Be tween dancing and consolation with the fortune teller, Mrs. Tellalln, many attempts were made to pin a hankie on the nose of “the little fat man” and Judy Hendrickson came close to winning a dollar bill. Walls so recently adorned with masterpieces of painting were re decorated for the evening with surrealistic works done in black and orange, and dry leaves made the floor more danceable. Barrels of jugaboo cider and Joe’s gutter glow ale, along with endless piles of donuts at the food bar rounded out the evening, which, according to president Gordon Bennett accomplished its purpose in showing the freshmen what a good time the Alliqd Art students have.

Miss Doltz, who came to Eu j gene to interview students, an i nounced that a growing interest in this course is evident.

The Children Shubert Fendrick, in the role of Henry Antrobus alias Cain, the able son of Adam, does a very commendable piece of work in pre senting a convincing portrayal of a difficult character. Although a newcomer to the stage, Shubert displayed a genuine feeling for his part. Henry’s sister Gladys is a brat of the gangly adolescent variety who never quite seems to grow up. Marilyn Rowling, who played Gladys, remained correctly juve nile and bothersome throughout the whole play . . . and act which is probably difficult to sustain . . . and she did well. The supporting cast is impres sive. Director Horace Robinson’s work deserves the biggest orchids.
