Alhambra Is Last Barrier to
Be Hurdled by Local
‘B’ Aggregation

MOORS ARE FAVORITES

Last P. J. C. Banner Chances
Rest With Proteges of
Coach Metten
On the home stretch and a cham¬
pionship in sight!
With hopes of a Jaysee cham¬
pionship smashed by the defeat
handed the locals by Compton, and
with Prep league chances ruined
early in the season, Pasadena’s
last gonfalon hopes rest in the
hands of Coach Carl A. Metten’s
lightweight proteges.
With this thought foremost in
theii1 minds, Coach Metten’s men
will meet a highly rated Alhambra
lightweight team on the Moors’
field Thanksgiving afternoon.
Metten’s First Year
To pay tribute to a man who has
been coaching them for his first
season at Jaysee, the lightweights
. will be out for victory. Winning
teams seem to be a pastime for the
Bull-pup mentor. Coach Metten left
a championship team at McKinley
junior high school only to give
promise of another such team at
the local school.
A heavy line and a fast run¬
ning attack gives the Moors the
odds over the Bulldogs. Consider¬
ing the situation from still another
angle, the Alhambrans still rate as
favorite.
Here’s why.
Pasadena Has Three Wins
Pasadena has won three games
and tied one. The first, match was
taken from Fullerton by a 6 to 0
score after a terrific struggle in
which neither team scored for
three quarters. Santa Ana also fell
before the powerful offense of the
locals.

Still “pounding away” at desire
for more student body pep and en¬
thusiasm, pep commission will
stage its third rally of the year
next Wednesday, November 25, at
10 a. m. The pep commission is
planning the assembly in prepara¬
tion for the final grid games.
To Be Different
While the last two rallies were
! conventional in nature, this will be
J entirely different, making use of a
| new idea in presenting programs
of this sort. Member's of the com¬
mittee met in Dean J. P. O’Mara’s
office Wednesday to lay final plans
and arrangements for their third
rally venture.
Presidents of the four classes
have turined this assembly date
over to the commission, it being
their desire to co-operate with this
organization in building up enthu¬
siasm for the final games.
Prexies Will Help
Steve Salisian, Sydney Edwards,
Margaret Johnson, and Bob Hei-
mann, presidents of the -senior,
junior, sophomore, and freshman
classes, respectively, will be on
hand, however, to make important
announcements to their classes,
each presiding in turn.
“There’s a big surprise in store
for every student by coming to the
pep commission’s third big rally of
the year,” said Doug McMann,
commission head.

Profits from the show will be

date.
Animals Have
New Habitat
Wild animals from icy Alaska
will be finding out what heat is
when P. J. C. and Ketchikan
(Alaska) High school exchange
specimens. Desert gila monsters’
toes will be frozen and sea an¬
emones will pull in their tenta¬
cles from the cold, cold Alaskan
frost.
Ketchikan high school wrote
to R. P. Hayes, P. J. C. science
instructor, asking him if he and
his classes would be willing to
exchange their marine and des¬
ert animals for the specimens
found in the land of the Aurora
Borealis. The schools sending
their exchanges will pay the
parcel post charge.
Ramsay Says to
Keep Off Grass
— ♦—
“It is a tradition that the
junior college front lawn is not
to be used as a lounge or a foot¬
ball field, and if necessary, steps
will be taken to preserve that
tradition,” Chief Justice Bill
Ramsay said Tuesday.
Ramsay also declared that
property owners on Sierra Bon¬
ita avenue were complaining
about refuse being deposited on
front yards by students who
lunch on the east end of school.
Offenders will be haled before
the court, and second offense
may result in expulsion.
Parking situation is much im¬
proved, Ramsay reports.

the same hour in every college in
the United States and will not be
repeated.
What is the attraction about a
fire? Last week, as proof -that
there is some such strange fascin¬
ation, one occurred near the school.
Immediately, a crowd -collected.
With the fire engines came not
only nearby residents, but also
half of P. J. -C. were in attendan¬
ce. Hockey-playing girls, and foot¬

Taxpayers Association May
Unite With Carnegie Group
- 4 -
California Taxpayers’ association surVey of junior colleges will
unite with Carnegie Foundation survey of grades above 12, if -plans
of educators are carried out, -at the junior college principals’ conven¬
tion in Los Angeles, December 4.-4
The groups are now studying
cost of junior colleges and thei-r
services rendered. Full reports will
also be made by officials of the tax¬
payers.
Carnegie Foundation survey en¬
tered California at the request of
the governor, when -Sacramento
junior college asked the legislature
to consider a measure for reorgani¬
zation -to a baccalaureate college.
Meanwhile Dr. Merton E. Hill
of University of California is mak¬
ing a complete study of all junior
colleges in the state. He finds that
junior college graduates in univer¬
sities average -better grades than
those who took their lower division
work in the senior institution.
Lower division debaters will
meet Citrus high school today dur¬
ing sixth period in room 200-C.
Pasadena, represented by Mar¬
garet Janssen and Charles Havens,
will -support the affirmative of the
question, “Resolved: That compul¬
sory military training in secondary
schools should be adopted in the
United States.”
Debate will last one -hour.
Judges will be furbished by the
upper division.
“Pasadena needs more lower di¬
vision debaters in order to fur¬
nish material for future upper di¬
vision squads. I -strongly recom¬
mend that every student interested
in law -as a profession take -at least
one year of debating,” declared
С.
C. Stewart, instructor.
