The University of Southern California and Washington State College, two of the strongest football teams in Western America, clash on the green at Tournament P ark today. Only the great California Bear has been able to humble the Cougar and the Trojan. Honor in that! Down from the N orth they have come; big, raw-boned men, physically perfect. They are loyal to their state. Therefore they will fight for it. They are huge, athletic; though per haps some are light, fast. Therefore they will be able to play the game. They are clean, sportsmanlike. Therefore they will know how to play it. Thousands of people have turned out to wit ness this classic struggle between the Northwest and the Southwest. The majority, because of loyalty to their section, are cheering for the University of Southern . California. The Wash ington State College players have their support ers, but they are greatly outnumbered. They are playing on a foreign field. Their handicaps are many. Let us do all that we can to make them feel at home. Give them a rousing cheer when they appear on the field. Give it to them often, and give it to them when the game ends. For they deserve it. And don't forget that this is probably the last game U. S. C. will play here this year. This is the team that has made it possible for us to see so many good football games. How about a hand now and then for the best team Southern California has ever had? (PAGE THREE] WARREN B. BOVARD Comptroller, U. S. C. When Warren Bovard was Graduate Manager of U. S. C., he had a vision of the day when that institution should take its place athletically with any on the Coast. His wise judgment and policy at that time have resulted largely in the present day success of the football schedule. Although not actively engaged in the conduct and management of athletic contests, he is always interested and his friendly advice and counsel more than appreciated. He is Secretary of the Faculty Athletic Committee and Comptroller of the University. He is a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity and Skull and Dagger Honorary Society. · [PAGE Fou~] UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CHARLES DEAN Varsity Captain Charley Dean is now playing his third year for U. S. C. He is the mainstay of the squad and is recog nized by sporting authorities as the greatest line plunger on the Pacific Coast. Weighing 180 pounds, and. coming from Calexico, where the men are hard as nails, Dean is the hardest man on the team to stop. He has been the outstanding star each year that he has played for CHARLES DEAN the Cardinal and Gold. He is a Senior in Liberal Arts and a mem ber of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE Earl Dunlap, Captain Earl Dunlap, the Washington State Captain, is a graduate of Dayton Washington high school, where he gained his early football training. Dunlap was twice chosen as center on the mythical All Pacific Coast eleven. His stellar work in the center of the line has entitled him to the distinction on the All-Star line-up. Playing a consistent game against all oppon ents justifies the responsibility with which he is intrusted in the cap Ea ~ l Dunlap taincy of the Cougars. [PAGE l-tVE] UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COACHING STAFF ELMER C. HENDERSON, Head Coach Coach Elmer C. Henderson, known throughout the sporting world as "Gloomy Gus," is un doubtedly o e of the leading foot ball coaches in America today. He came to U. S. C. with a great record, gained while coaching at the Broadway High School, Seat tle, Washington. During the four years that he coached at this school his teams lost but one game and rolled up a total of 586 points to their opponents' 56. Last year he made the U. S. C. team one of the strongest teams on the Pacific Coast, ELMER C. HENDERSON if not in the country. His great victories over Stanford and Oregon marked him as a football genius of rare ability. It is due to him that U. S. C. is what it is today-a recognized contender for the highest football honors in the country. He has signed a six-year contract to coach the Trojan elevens, and it is certain that great honors are in store for U. S. C. in the future with such a leader as "Gloomy Gus" at the helm. WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE COACHING STAFF Gustavis Welch, Coach "Coach Gustavius Welch, football mentor of the Washington State College is in his third year as head of the Cougar "grid ders."

H e was recognized as one of the greatest quarterbacks of the gridiron. In the capacity of football coach at W. S. C., vVelch has always turned out good teams. Lack o.£ material, injuries and the inevitable breaks ha'vc sometimes dulled the effecti veness of his work, but even with the handicaps he has turned out winning teams during his reign at W. S. C. Gu ~ tavh Welch [PAGE S1x] HENRY W. BRUCE Graduate Manager, U. S. C. Due largely to the efforts of Henry Bruce, the able graduate manager, U. S. C. students and the public at large will be able to see the most representative teams on the coast in action this year. It has been one of Bruce's many du ties to arrange the schedule of this year's games, and the fact that such powerful teams as the University of California, Washington State and the Oregon Agricultural, to gether with the nearer-home rivals, are to be found on the list is an in HENRY W. BRUCE dication of Mr. Bruce's untiring efforts as a graduate manager. He is a member of the Skull and Dagger honorary society, as well as Phi Alpha Fraternity.

BILL HUNTER ELMER RUNDQUIST Line Coach Elmer Rundquist is a new man at U. S. C. this year, and the uni versity owes him everything for the stonewall line, working in perfect unison, that he has created. His style of instruction has been to drill, drill, drill; to grind, grind, grind. The result is a line that drives hard and fast, works har moniously, fights courageously and is always after the ball or the man. EUlER RUNDQUIST HOD OFSTIE Freshman Coach Hod Ofstie turned down an offer that would have made him head coach at Wisconsin just to turn out a great freshman team at U. S. C.
