' ' f , lj -- - - P fa The A. P. G. U. Football Banquet I-IE A, P. G, U. Society, faithful to its tradition of past years, tendered a banquet to the Varsity Football team at the Hotel Oakland on the after- noon of November 26, the day previous to the Big Game with Santa Clara. More than aihundred College men, besides pr0II1i11611t Speakers- alumm' and members of the Faculty were in attendance. A great deal Of enthuslasm was manifested by the students, and the speakers, imbued with this same spirit, ex- pressed their sentiments in forceful words. o To begin the program Toastmaster lVIarciniak introduced the President of the College. Brother Gregory congratulated the lA. P. G. U. Society on its splen- did work and praised the students for displaying such loyal co-operation. MMay the best team win, said Father O'Connell, admitting himself to be a 'ffriendl enemy in campfi ludge iBrown, representing the City of Oakland, was then called upon for a few words. None of his auditors will ever forget his stirring words on uThe Will to iWin. Wfilliam Hynes, Bert Shine, and Dan Doran, speaking for the former students of Saint Maryis, assured the team and the rooters that the support of the Mold timersw would be as inspiring as it always has been in the past. Captain called Strader was cheered to the echo. uFellows, he said, awe 'have the team, the coach, and the support--how can we lose? Coach uSlip Madigan, in his habitual impressive manner, thanked the stu- dents and the players on his team for their splendid loyalty during the entire season, and predicted victory if this same support was given during the game. The attendance at the banquet was the largest si11ce the A. P. G. U. Society first sponsored the affair four years ago. The committee in charge executed to perfection every detail in the arrangement. Sophomore Dance It took two weeks for the Frosh and Soph battlers to get back into dancing shape, but as promised, the Freshman Welcome Dance was worth the waiting. The Sophs acted as hosts to the largest gathering that has ever attended 3 Class dance at Saint lVIary's. With the Gym cleverly decorated, and the music extra- ordinarily good, the affair was most enjoyable, C. Carroll, B. Halligan, C. Packer, O. Murray, T. Farrell and B. Keegan had charge of all festivities, and by their splendid arrangements madg even the haughty Freshmen fstill mindful of their vi that it was usome jig. ctory in the Annual Brawlj admit SQ V ex 'f....--..gf.ffff1fiff'T'i 'QT zE'A'ff't' .-im-:L-.-JTPIJ-sg lege ai - -W ee-me -e - e,,,, .. ,Mn .rx . wr 1 -P - 1, ,, ,G - - X-1' E1,PhilBgawdmigdwwmvsnnnnibbd 'P - P W' f' e F'P 1i5r E25 --f-54255. .fn iii t rlrk Tlx wi? fjff'

'X Y 5 A 1 l E 5 l S The Raffle RAFFLE, sponsored by the Associated Students to obtain money for re- pairs on the tennis courts and the swimming tank, and to build new hand- ball alleys, was launched on September 30th. ln three weeks the com- mittee, composed of Larry Doyle, Edgar Hinkel and James McAllister, was able to announce that, owing to the splendid co-operation given by the High School and College departments, a sum almost double the original quota had been ob- tained. The goal had been live hundred dollars, but the final counting showed a total of eight hundred and thirty-two dollars. ' The prize of the raffle was a beautiful seventy-live dollar white gold watch and chain. On the day of the drawing over three thousand tickets were present in the raffle sack. The Fourth High took iirst honors in the inter-class ticket competition and thus earned a half-day vacation. V ' Frank Smith won iirst prize in the individual ticket contest. T he drawing was held in the Gymnasium on October llth. After numerous changes of containers and niuch shuffling of contents, the Goddess of Luck de- cided that Harry Bertain of the Fourth High had won the gold watch and chain. When all expenses had been paid and all prizes distributed, a net sum of seven hundred and thirty-eight dollars remained. With this money a new asphalt surface was put on the two tennis courts, the swimming tank was re- opened, and four news handball courts were built. The Trip to U. S. C. Wlfhey out-yelled the whole U. S. C. rooting sectionf, Such was the opinion of spectators at the Saint lVIary's-U. S. C. game in Los Angeles on Saturday after- noon, November 3'. Some went by boat, others took the train, a few started out on foot, and only a last minute incident kept an aeroplane from carrying some brave and loyal supporters, but the majority trusted themselves to auto? mobiles. V S High School students, college men, members of the law school, alumni, and professors, in one way or another, managed to get there. Some of the rooters ar- rived in Los Angeles in record time, others 1'eached the Coliseum just as the starting whistle blew. But whether they had come as aristocrats on boat or train, as dare-devils by auto, or as highway hold-up men on foot, it was a single unit of concentrated loyalty and spirit that formed the rooting section in 'the big bowl. The Trojans soon learned what uGo Get 'em Saints means. Un the way home the rain fell in torrents, the wind blew in chilly blasts, and the roads were wet and slippery, but these things, and numerous other items of discomfort vanished quickly when the realization of the 14 10 victory flashed into mind It was a tlred, but a happy group that finally reached the College after a trip that refuses to be forgotten 5 i ' : . r .

'ns 'f' 'W - ' ' ' ' RALLIES For The California Football Game To put an edge on the fighting spirit in preparation for the California foot- ball game, an impromptu rally was held o11 the campus the day previous to the contest. ' Brother Gregory, President of the College, Dave Wynne, President of the Student Body, Claude Silva, last year's yell leader, and our old friend, Emmet Hogan, former Saint Mary's football star, evidenced their sentiments in a man- ner that brought repeated displays of enthusiasm from the audience. Then the Block Letter men were called upon for short speeches and quickly proved that they were going out to the Memorial Stadium with the strong deter- mination to win. Yell leaders Kardoza and Carroll next called for some College yells, and the rally was ended. For The Santa Clara Football Game HA fitting climax to weeks of preparation for the Big Gamei'-such was the Monster Rally held in the Gymnasium November 25. It is hard to say which class won most applause for its stunt, but no one will deny that the audience had excellent entertainment all evening. There were songs, dances and skits with the Big Game as the theme. Then there were talks of football proper and many pep-instilling comments on the coming battle. The Frosh stunt consisted in having the rival teams meet-on the stage. The Red and Blue won by a large score due to the accurate passing of uliittle Boy Hicks. t For the Sophs, R. Farrell played two beautiful violin solos. This was fol- lowed by a clever pantomime act by MDL Cunningham and his assistant, Mr. Mello. The jigging of W. Tobin, two vocal selections by Ignatius McVay, and a fan- tastic balloon dance won applause for the .l uniors. The Seniors presented a dainty Spring dance, with plenty of flowers and flimsy costumes. The Sacred Heart Club with their uRajah act and their playlet entitled HClaims, scored a triumph. Heinze and Smith, harmony artists of the Fourth Year of High were com- pelled to give several encores. V When the entertainment had finished Brother Agnon gave a talk on football history at Saint Mary's. U I The climax of the evening was reached when 'Coach uSlip Madigan intro- duced the squad. Madigan, as expected, had some stirring words to say on the W 1 I l I --1-. n,1. fr I f., , r1 j,, . . ?.,'x ,, Q 'vi ,H 'jim 1 -'-'-'-1: --:' E 1 E' .e .AL i l 7 aff 3151 'Wil Qc fig' F if ??
