It might be well to state right here that the hope was not in vain for the Pasadenans not only defeated the Sagehens by the tune of a unanimous decision but put the Railsplitters to rout by a two to one count. By winning both debates the Cardi¬ nal School is once more in line for the championship. This fact alone is grat¬ ifying to every Pasadena student. However, the Student Body should be especially enthusiastic when it takes into consideration that the four per¬ sons who debated Friday evening nev¬ er before represented P. H. S. in a similar manner. Although the affirmative team won a unanimous decision, the linguistic scrap was close from start to finish. The question debated was, “Resolved, That (granting that further restriction of immigration into the United States is necessary) Congress should pass a law embodying the numbers test on a ten per cent basis, as advocated by Senator Dillingham.” Carlos Alviar and Raymond Barton built up a strong affirmative case, which it was absolutely impossible for the negative team from Pomona, com¬ posed of Lillian Scott and Norman Taylor, to break down. Alviar proved to be as excellent a debater as he is an orator. In the first speech of the evening he built up a strong, logical construction case. Again, in the second speech he proved to have a keen knowledge of the ques¬ tion, and of his opponents’ errors. For he completely disproved every portion of the counter case presented by the sagehens. One hour before the debate it seemed quite likely that Alviar’s team mate, Raymond Barton, would not be in a condition to meet the Sagehens. Being a new hand at the art of argu¬ fying, Barton put every ounce of en¬ ergy into the preparation of his case, and as it neared time for the contest, he was not in physical condition. However, the gritty speaker refused to stay off the rostrum; his two speeches did a great deal toward clinching the debate. On the Pomona team, the work of Miss Scott was good. She had a per¬ suasive manner, but lacked in sound arguments. While Pasadena’s affirmative team was winning in the local auditorium, the negative team was proving to Lin¬ coln High in Los Angeles that the Bulldog’s bark is as bar as his bite. Foster Daniels and Clarence King were the two speakers to turn the trick. Both speakers were in excellent form, and waded into the arguments set forth by their opponents like vet¬ erans. The work of King was excep¬ tionally brilliant. The victories of last Friday evening have again conclusively proven the im¬ portance of the squad system, as it has been perfected by Coach Carson. Pasadena is at present leading the major division of the Southwestern debating association. Another cham¬ pionship is at the door of the East Colorado street school. To bring it safely within its doors, it is necessary for a large number of students to turn out for the next tryout and for those who do not answer the coach’s call to get behind debating and take an in¬ terest for another championship. DEBATERS CLASH IN BATTLES WITH VETS Eugenia Ong and Elizabeth Lowstetter to Scrap Sage Hens at Home FIGHT AGAINST ODDS SANITATIONERS FINISH UNIQUE MODEL BUNGALOW Barbara Loomis and Bea¬ trice Morse Deserve Es¬ pecial Credit for Work Exact Replica in Miniature of Modern Sanitarium Re¬ markable for Detail The model bungalow constructed for a tubercular patient has just been completed. The two girls, Beatrice Morse and Barbara Loomis, both of the Sanitation Department, have worked diligently and faithfully on it. The miniature bungalow is an exact reproduction of the ones at the Sani¬ tarium. The small building is divided into three sections, a large airy room, screened in on three sides sides is the most conspicuous part, and also the part in which the patient spends most of his time. The interior of this room consists of a little bed by the side of which is a rag rug, three chairs, together with a table Complete the simple furnishings of the cottage. The awnings which project on the three sides have been cleverly con¬ structed so the patient, no matter where he may be, wields the power to raise or lower them according to will. The girls had the engineer at the Sanitarium arrange and place them exactly as they are done there. The little building is complete in every way; to prove this, electric lights have been installed, together with all the modern conveniences. The specific purpose of this building is to show the girls exactly what the real bungalows are like, and how they are to be taken care of. Barbara Loomis and Beatrice Morse deserve a great deal of credit, for to cf miniature reproduction not kes constant study and time, work. JUNIORS MEET TO BOLD DISCUSSION ON JEWELRY Girls Choosing Appropriate Rings; Boys to Adopt Sweaters Local Novices to Engage with Opposing Veterans on Immigration Topic Although they won five out of six decisions on the rostrum last Friday, and the school stands at the top of its division of the debating league, the Pasadena High School debaters are not content to rest on their laurels, but will engage in four practice con¬ tests on Thursday and Friday, and will start in the first of next week work¬ ing on the next coming debate with Santa Ana and Glendale high schools. This will form the second of a series of three double debates which Pasa¬ dena now has in hand. The linguists who will represent Pasadena at the end of this week in¬ clude but one veteran, who has repre¬ sented Pasadena in interscholastic de¬ bates before. Pasadena’s opponents, however, will be the same teams which the opposing teams sent into battle last Friday night. At the local High School on Thurs¬ day, Eugenia Ong and Elizabeth Low¬ stetter will battle with a delegation of girls from Pomona High School. The local speakers will represent the negative side of the question. Since Pasadena defeated Pomona by a unan¬ imous decision last Friday, the Po¬ monaites would like to down the local linguists is possible, next Thursday. This debate is arousing more inter¬ est than any other, and promises to be largely attended by the local stu¬ dent body. Miss Ong and Miss Low¬ stetter have been doing excellent work on the debating squad, and should be able to drive home a second defeat for the Pomona talk experts. The question under debate will be the same on which the schools debat¬ ed Friday — the adoption of the num¬ bers plan on a 10 percent basis for CLEAN-FIGHTING BULLDOCSCO DOWN BEFORE MAD THRONG IN PASADENA-MANUAL BATTLE Bulldogs Fight Clean, Manly Scrap Against Side-line Coachites and Blue Haze Experts; Hats Off to the Best Coach and Team in the South Many Members Signing Up for Insignia of Class of “Eighteen” The feminine members of the Junior class assembled in 108C last Monday afternoon to discuss the weighty mat¬ ter of rings for the girls of the class of 18. After the meeting had been called to order, Helen Parker, chairman of the ring committee, gave a report on the result of the committee’s investi¬ gation. Several designs were presented for the consideration of the girls. The ring favored by the committee was one of hammered silver, hand-made, and with “P.H.S. T8” in raised letters upon it. After voting on the various designs, the meeting was adjourned. Further details concerning signing up for the rings, etc., will be posted on the bulletin. The Junior boys met on the follow¬ ing day, at assembly period, and Mr. Thurston spoke to them on the matter of their sweaters. On account of the fast climbing prices of wool and dye the price of the sweaters has risen s; ?e the order was put in. Howeve . the contract will remain unchar . for tye sweat¬ ers already ordered. Any sweaters signed for after the first order goes in will be bought at the advanced price.

' -i By RALPH HOSLER They fought HARD — they fought CLEAN — they gave the BEST they had, What more can one ask? Fighting to the last ditch against a team of greatef age, weight, and experience, the Pasadena High School Varsity went down to defeat before the heavy Manual Arts aggregation by a score of 42 to 7. The game was much closer than the score indicates for Manual made several of her scores on flukes or fumbles. The Manual line greatly outweighed the P. H. S. lads, while the backfield also tipped the scales at a considerable larger weight than the Bulldog backs. The game was marred by incessant fumbling and bum tackling. As Warde Fowler says, “both teams tackled around the neck or higher.” Manual Arts certainly did, and although Pasa¬ dena was a bit better it was not very noticeable. The game began by Pasadena kicking .to Galloway of Manual, who ran the ball back to the Pasadena forty yard line. The Artisans lugged the casaba to the Crimson ten yard line, where they attempted a forward pass, but Bur¬ ton intercepted the flying pighide, running it back ten yards. Then the Bull¬ dogs started an attack, which failed, and Wally Chisholm punted to the fifty- five yard line. After trying to plunge the line, Manual began circling the ends, which netted them good yardage, bringing the ball to the Pasadena ten yard line, where Smith of the Artisans slipped around the end for the first touchdown. Blewitt converted. When Wally Chisholm ran back the kickoff to the forty-five yard line, he fumbled the ball when he was thrown, a Manual man recovering. Taking advantage of this streak of luck the Purple-jersied men pushed the ball to the Bulldogs’ twenty yard line where Blewitt shot a forward pass to Erb back of the goal line. Galloway again converted. The second quarter opened with the ball in Pasadena’s territory, but it was soon rushed out to the middle of the field, where a Pasadena man fumbled. Manual successfully completed three forward passes which brought the ball to the Pasadena fifteen yard line. Again Blewitt shot a pass, this time to the dark halfback, Smith, who went across the line for another six points. Pugnacious Wally plowed through the heavy Manual line for six yards at a swat, with Bedall and Wilke making good yards around the end. On his second play “Zip” Wilke went streak¬ ing down the field for seventy yards. He side stepped the end, sent a flying Manual back skidding on his nose, and raced down the' field with only Smith of the Purple gang be¬ tween him and the goal line. Smith hurried to meet the fleeing Bulldog speedster, with a confident and con¬ tented smile on his face. He met him face to face on the side lines, and he reached for the Crimson sweater, but it was not there. Wilke side stepped , . . , Smith so easy, that the newspaper the restriction ofimmigrataon into the cribes laughed with glee. Blewitt United States. Every school has had a chance to debate on both sides of this question, and hence but few loop¬ holes should be presented by either side in the coming contests. Representing Pasadena at Pomona 1 on the affirmative side of the ques- - tion, Marion Laird and Elizabeth J Goodell will take on the Pomona neg- ) atives. At Santa Ana, Richard Ham- 1 brook and Lyle Hance will also talk spilled Wilke on the twenty yard line. Wally Chisholm hit the line for four yards, and then the Manual bunch penalized within one foot of her goal line. On the following play, Bobby Schlaudeman slipped through center for a touchdown. “Fighting Steve” con¬ verted. A few seconds later the half ended. When the second half began the the affirmative side to the Saints’ neg- |large cr0W(1 of Pasadena supporters ative debaters. Santa Ana has lost j expected to see one o£ the old time> once on the negative, but her debaters sensational Bulldog comebacks. They i did, for the entire fifteen minutes of jthe third quarter. At the opening of !the last quarter the great weight of the Manual team began to tell. They now think they know just where they made their mistake, and believe they can win a victory this week. A new school in the major section , of the Southwestern debating league, ! plunged the Un,e’ f,rded the end ,and but one that is making a good show¬ ing, is Glendale.

These debates will give the Pasa- yard line. The main, scintillating star of the Bulldog offense was Royal “Zip” linger in the minds of both Pasadena and Long Beach students for years to come. And I still claim that Coach Duffy Seay is the greatest high school coach that ever walked the globe. And this year, Coach Seay moulded a team out of four veterans and seven green men, all of which were light, into one of his famous gridiron machines. Coach, although your team did not win, you taught them to fight clean, to play the game square, and to be real sportsmen on the gridiron. Our hats are off to you.

H. S. an opportunity to participate in the great Pasadena classic, the Tournament of Roses on New Year’s Day. In the years gone by, Pasadena High has always been famed for the mag¬ nificence of the floats that it has en¬ tered in the parade, but this year, un¬ der the supervision of Mr. Ralph Jo- hannet of the art department, the most spectacular float in the history of the high school entries will represent Pas¬ adena High School. Of course, the in¬ nermost details will be carefully kept in the dark until the dawn of New Year’s Day. The only part of the secret to be divulged is the fact that the color scheme will be carried out with blue, purple and yellow flowers. To carry out this pretentious scheme, millions of flowers will be necessary and so a request has been out for blue bachelor buttons, yellow chrysanthemums, and yellow bignon- ias. These flowers are particularly wanted, but any blooms that Nature has colored yellow, blue or purple will be welcomed. An opportunity will he offered to any one who will donate these flowers to sign up in the office. Beside these flowers, anyone who has large quantities of dusty miller or of smilax is requested to sign up. By large quantities, those in charge do not mean twenty or thirty strings, but really large amounts. A float has to be decorated with flowers and if you have any flowers, here is an opportunity for you to prove your school spirit by donating the dec¬ orations for the finest float that P. H. S. has ever had. “Hey! Can’t I sell you a ticket to the German Play?” “Naw! What do I want to go for? I don’t understand German.” Is that the way you have patronized the German plays of the past? If so, that excuse will ndt hold good for not going to this year’s play, for the Ger¬ man Department has never before suc¬ ceeded so well in choosing a play which would appeal to P. H. S.’ers to whom “Spreehen Sie Deutsch?” means just as much as *** - — . ! ! ? ? ? To such persons, a play composed for the most part of more or less witty tables-talks in German is just as in¬ teresting as a sermon in Latin. What they want is ACTION and plenty of it. All we want to say is, if you are one of this class we advise you to buy your ticket to the coming German play to he given Friday evening, Jan¬ uary 12, at the earliest apportunity, and when you go, take your folks along. What if Grandpa is deaf; he’ll enjoy it just the same. “Der Neffe als Onkel” is a comedy, pure and simple. This is all the more reason why those unfortunates who are not blessed with a knowledge of the language of the Fatherland, should not take it upon themselves to absent themselves from the production. Brifly the plot is this: Franz Dorsigny so greatly resembles his uncle, Colonel Dorsigny, that they are often mistaken for each other. Franz is in love with his cousin So¬ phie (notice how passionately he gazes upon her in the play), but his uncle, of course, can’t see it that way and has arranged for her to marry Lormeuil (no, the name is not Algernon), a young Italian nobleman who she has never seen and consequently hasn’t been considered as a possible prospect upon which to bestow her maiden af¬ fections. Franz is quite at a loss to know how he can win Sophie without incurring the enmity of the old man. Finally, Champagne, Franz’s servant, has a sublime idea, namely, that FYanz impersonate his uncle and in this capacity give his consent to Franz’s marriage with Sophie. This he does, but the unexpected return of the Colonel with Lormeuil complicates matters. Of course, everyone thinks that the uncle is the nephew and from his return to the end of the play, their substitutions for each other are rapid and confusing; it even gets so bad that no one (not even the audience) knows which is which. Champagne is among the deluded ones and in an unguarded moment he is a trifle too full of the enlivening liquid which his name do¬ nates; he almost gives the whole thing away to his uncle, when he thinks he is talking to the nephew. Suffice to say the play ends happily for all concerned, in a very pretty double betrothal (This alone is worth the price of admission). To those of us who have been lucky enough to possess the password to the rehearsals, there is absolutely no’ doubt as to how the play will be re¬ ceived; in fact the chief difficulty ex¬ perienced with the rehearsals Is due to the fact that the cast hasn’t gotten over laughing at some of the situa¬ tions yet. It has been the only regret of the play committee that admission could not he to the rehearsals, hut don’t come tround, inquisitive ones — you won’t he able to get in. As a final reassurance to those who might feel compelled to stay away be¬ cause it is a erman play, it might he stated that the play is being coached by Miss Sterling, who up to the time of the first rehearsal didn’t know a word of German. Now I would like to ask you (to quote our worthy oppon¬ ent from Pomona), is it to be sup¬ posed that, if the play can be directed by a person to whom its language is absolutely foreign, that the venerable students of P. H. S. would not be able to get the general drift? N
