LONG BEACH GAME TO BE BIGGEST SCRAP OF SEASON FOR BULLDOGS Bulldog Record Man by Man Given for Edification of the Fans CHISHOLM IS LEADER EXPERTS GIVE STATEMENTS ABOUT GAME All -Southern Candidates Out to Cinch Positions in Big Game BY AL WESSON Football practice has been getting harder and more peppery each day in preparation for the Turkey Day clas¬ sic at Dong Beach. Of the seventy students who reported at the begin¬ ning of the year, there are about thirty fellows left prepared to go into, the game tomorrow and show the fans the flne art of playing footbal. The first and second teams have been going through daily workouts in order to build up a fighting machine which cannot be beaten, especially by any bunch that hails from Long Beach. Cold suppers, sore muscles, and bruised bones have been the play¬ ers’ rewards for their moonlight* scrommages during the past month. They have practiced so late in the afternoon that it was necessary to paint the ball white in order that it could be seen. About the time the rest of the students have been sitting down at their evening meals, the grid¬ iron experts have been taking their final run up and down the field. Back and forth they go and just about the time they feel like dropping, bhe coach begins to call for a little speed and fight. No matter how tired they are, they always keep going and never lose their pep for one minute, and when the final whistle blows, they make a grand rush for the liniment-smelling club house and a refreshing shower. A piano mover on a busy day has a picnic compared to Captain Chisholm’s footballers when Coach Carson wants to make them work. Coach Carson has been working particularly hard to correct the mech¬ anical errors made in the Santa Ana game. He has exercised all his skill as a teacher in drilling the signals and the various plays into the local war¬ riors, until now the motto is, “Get your man and fight every down.” This year more than any other Long Beach must be beaten. As usual the Beachcombers have a husky squad that plays hard and clean. But this year they have one of the best teams they have had in years, and after hav¬ ing walloped many small schools by large scores, they have an idea they can clean up the world. However, the local Bulldogs promise to come thru with the goods. They’ll fight hard; • they’ll fight clean; and they’ll fight to win. Following are a few words about each of the players on the varsity squad : Captain Wallace “Wally” Chisholm, left full. This is Wally’s third year on the team. His specialty is imitat¬ ing a wild bull on a line plunge. He is very particular about the person whom he lets get past him; in fact, if anyone can get by him without being spilled, that person could join the army and make a center rush right through Whilhelm and Berlin with absolute safety. Jeffery Kemp, right end. This is Jeff’s first year on the team and he has proved to be one of the season’s finds. He takes great pleasure in smearing end runs and is a good place kicker. Clifford Boorey, right tackle. Cliff is another new member of the team. He plays a fast, scrappy game and takes particular pains to see that he “gets” his тац. Pete Simpson, right guard. Rag¬ time and football have the same effect on Pete. Both make him feel like get¬ ting up and doing something, but in football he usually does more damage, especially in breaking up the other teams’ plays. Frank Von Mohr, alias “Fronkus" alias “Battleship Von,” center. “Von” » (Continued on Page 4) Who’s going to win is the big question.. Let the experts en¬ lighten you. Following is what they have to say: Captain Wally Chisholm says, “We are going to have a new team in the Thanksgiving Day game. The fellows are all down on Long Beach and are full of new life and pep. We’re going to fight to the end and we won’t lose until eleven men on our team are dead.” Coach Carson says: “Barring a few minor injuries to some of the players, the team will go into the game tomorrow in better condition than in any other game this year. The mistakes have been corrected and the fellows have a better team spirit than ever before this season.. If Long Beach wins, she will certainly deserve her victory.” Principal Wilson says, “The boys are showing a better spirit than at any time this season, and although they have the hardest game of the year ahead of them, they are going to win.” Long Beach Enters Game a Slight Favorite, But Watch for Bulldogs NEW MEMBER 0FP.H.8. COMMISSION IS ELECTED Elston Ireland Is Elected New Commissioner to Fill the Vacancy EX-PRINCIPAL CROSS VISITS PASADENA HIGH ON BUSINESS EXCURSION LOCALS NEED VICTORY Clean Record Is Desired by Pasadena Seniors; Poly- wogs Must Fall November 27. — A dispatch from Long Beach states that it is impossible for the Long Beach lightweights to play the Pasadena Bantams in a pre¬ liminary contest on Thanksgiv¬ ing Day.

Lawson Fouche * RHL Rogers Bedall LHR Tiernan Chisholm LF F Baker LONG BEACH CONFIDENT. Long Beach enters the great game with a slight tendency to overconfidence as is shown by the following quotations from “High Life,” the Long Beach weekly. “Whew! 27 to 3 on last year’s chams. Sit up there, Pasadena, cause you hain’t even got a Sprott, let alone a Rogers, or Lawson, or a Baker. As t othe dopus for this weekus, we find that everything points to Long Beach as league champion. With two league games, (Long Beach is still laboring under the im- pression that San Diego is a member of the County League. — ed.) already won, and noth¬ ing but the measly scrimmage with Pasadena to count, etc., we see where we eat turkey and bulldogs in peace.” WEIGHTS AND SWEATER NUMBERS OF PASADENANS GIVEN.

This game is the classic of the prep season and is j by far the most bitterly fought strug¬ gle of the year for either team. Dope is more likely to go astray in this game than in all the rest of the season as the under dog may turn and rend the favorite, in fact has done it on numerous occasions: This year’s con¬ test on ail counts bids fair to he one of the greatest since the strained re¬ lations between the two schools began. Contrary to last year and the year before’s dope sheet, Long Beach enters the game this year an odds-on favorite and the position of dark horse falls to the Pasadenans. Long Beach team is yet undefeated and has rolled up big scores over its opponents while the Cardinal eleven has shown great possibilities which have developed' slowly. The numerous injuries to Pasadena stars have retarded the de- [ velopment of the team and the eleven j which plays against Long Beach to- ' morrow will be an untried machine in the sense that as the first team per¬ sonnel has been changed constantly throut the season, the present com¬ bination has not been in enough games to give it a reputation. The Pasadena line will fight, it has fought well thruout the season and is a known quantity. The backfield will also fight but the key to the situation is the question of their effectiveness on the offense. There should be no signal mixups, no exhibition of ragged playing, for the backfield has had all these errors drilled out of it in the last two weeks of preparation. But whether the offense will show the necessary power will be the deciding factor of Pasadena’s success or failure. On the defense Pasadena has shown herself strong with the possible exception of breaking up forward passes. If the Pasadena backs have gained the in¬ tuitive sense necessary to scent the ■famous Lawson-Lawson passes. The results of the game between the two teams are as follows: 1912 — At Pasadena — Pasadena 14; Long Beach, 6. 1913 — -At Long Beach — Pasadena 2; Long Beach 7. 1914 — At Pasadena — Pasadena 9; Long Beach 9. 1915 — At Long Beach — Pasadena 6; Long Beach 0. 1916 — At Pasadena — Pasadena 42; Long Beach 13. The records for both teams thus far this season are as follows: PASADENA. L. A.

Close Election Is Featured by Good Turnout of Pasadena Voters Last Friday the second irregular or special election for the Commission of 1918 was held. This time it was called to fill the office of Commissioner of Debating, made vacant by the resigna¬ tion of the late incumbent, Paul Hamilton. In view of the fact that it was a special election, the vote was exceptionally large. The grand total of .519 votes is in sharp contrast to the scant 235 polled in the election of the Commissioner of Publications of last June. Even this, however, is only about half the student body mem¬ bership and a little less than one third the total enrollment. It Is evident that there are still a great many In this school who do not realize that it Is their duty as well as their privilege to vote. ^ Another feature of the election was the closeness of the vote, only 19 votes separating the winning candida¬ te from the second. The amendment, as was expected, passed by a large majority. Here are the results: Ireland, 236. Metzger, 217. Ernest Hamilton, 66. Amendment, Yes, 341. No, 145. The balloting was conducted in the business like and efficient manner that has always characterized P. H. S. elections. It possessed all the agree¬ able features of a regular municipal election such as the Australian voting system, printed ballots, etc., without being mixed up with party politics, j The election officers were well chosen and acquitted themselves with credit. There was practically no confusion nor misunderstanding and but few j ballots had to he thrown out. Some of the lists of student body members j were incomplete, however, and a few would-be voters had to dig out their membership cards to satisfy the suspicious Election officials. Said offi¬ cials were excused from classes early and had their luncheon before the noon period. At the ringing of the bell the usual rush to the lunch coun¬ ter was partly diverted to a rush to the voting booths. Only partly, how- eVer, for while there are some who would rather vote than eat, the ap¬ petite of the student body is notorious (pun is accidental.) The voting con- ! tinued more or less brisquely until | the closing of the booths at 3:30. ■ While the winner was not elected 1 by a majority vote there is no reason why anyone, no matter now he voted, ! should be dissatisfied with the results. It has always been the pride of Pasa¬ dena that it has elected its com¬ missioners on the standard of con¬ crete merit and ability without the question of personal likes or dislikes entering into the question. There is every reason to believe that this this principal has been adhered to in the recent election,. You may be sure therefore that Elston Ireland will be a dilegent and concientious Commissioner and a credit to the school. - о - - NOTICE FOR SOPHOMORES. All those who have not al¬ ready joined the class sign up as soon as possible. If you have joined get the other fell'owj If there are not more signed up there will be NO party. Think it over. - « - , — SOPHOMORE MEETING. At a brief meeting last Thursday the sophomores convened and accom¬ plished some pressing business af¬ fairs. President Pierpont spoke from the chair urging all the delaying misers to loosen up and join the class. Secretary Pyle read the minutes of the last meeting and also emphasized the urgent need of signing up with the crowd. As the dues are very reasonable this year, many who were financially unable to join heretofore are offered an opportunity. Little known to the teachers and students was the visit paid to Pasadena High School last Friday by former Principal, Mr. Cross, now superintendent of the schools of Fresno. Having to make a short busi¬ ness trip to Los Angeles, he could not resist the temptation of a short visit to P. H. S. In¬ deed, he intended to keep his visit a secret to only a few, for he knew a three hour visit was far too short to spend with two thousand students and friends. Alas for his foresight, for upon entering the building he saw Mr. Wilson, and in the excite¬ ment of the moment he forgot that silence is golden. Rushing up he slapped our venerable principal on the back and gave one of his familiar resounding laughs that echoed through the corriders of the Horace Mann building.. Immediately he was swamped by a hord of school teachers. Taking refuge in the registrars office, Mr. Cross, for a time, resembled the propriet¬ or of a bargain sale counter. He wished to give the stu¬ dents a few words of greeting and took the opportunity of do¬ ing so through the medium of the Chrnciole. “Tell them for me that I have not forgotten P. H. S. and that I never will. I am keeping up with their rapid progress through the school publication. When I want recollections that are the most pleasant of my life, I simply turn back to my wonderful and varied, experi¬ ences wit'h the teachers and students of this institution.” Shaking his head he remark¬ ed, “There is but one Pasadena High School.” JUNIORS HOLD t) ANOTHER SESSION SENIOR CHEER-UP IS CHEAT CLASS I0VFEST Jeremiah Meets Rhodes After Long Hunt at Senior Party REFRESHMENTS GOOD U. S. Useless and Scandal Weddings Are Program Features The Junior Class held a very peppy business meeting Tuesday, November 20th, after school in 108 C. The pur' pose of the meeting was to decide on dues, sweaters, rings, class colors and pins. After the meeting was called to order by the president, and the minutes read and approved, a dis¬ cussion began about the dues. The treasurer reported on the amount of money expended on the party and be¬ cause of some money left in the treasury he showed how fifty cent dues would cover all necessary ex¬ penses. This was put in the form of a mo¬ tion and carried unanimously. So Juniors, prepare to produce the neces¬ sary money in the main hall, begin¬ ning Monday, November 26, as no one who has not paid his dues will be allowed at any Junior festivity in the future. It would he expedient for all i Juniors to hurry up and get their membership cards. The boys voted to “Hopverize” and do without their sweaters and > the girls, their rings. Three cheers for the patriotic Juniors! Some members wished to change the class colors from orange and white to another combination, but a vote of the class showed that the ma¬ jority wanted to still retain the orig¬ inal colors. An opportunity was given for all who had lost or wanted new pins to sign up for them with the secretary as an order will be sent In the near future. The Juniors certainly have accu¬ mulated a lot of class spirit, and al¬ though they will not be distinguished by their sweaters, — a committee is working hard to get something in place of them. As to just what that will be is not known yet, hut someth¬ ing suitable is promised. The plan of the Juniors this year Is to do without class parties, but to have in their place Red-Cross bene¬ fits and the like at which the entire class can enjoy itself and at the same time do something to help others. Don’t forget to pay your dues, Juniors. Only 50tf in the main hall. BY ANITA SCOTT. Bing! Bang! Buzz! Buzz! With a rush of ragtime rhapsody and a clam: or of ceaseless chatter, the Senior “Cheer-Up” was under way. Monday’s lessons and fancied formality were quickly forgotten, as the “Korduroy Kwartette,” in tailored disguise, “plunkety-plunked” and “thumpety- thumped” forth the “sole” stirring strains of everything from “Lily of the Valley” to Pasadena’s battle hymn. When the demands of the enraptur¬ ed audience were partially fulfilled, little white slips bearing sabalistic in¬ scriptions were passed around. Then a wild scramble for partners ensued until “Jeremia” met “Rhodes” and other similar celebrities were united. Among the forlorn youths in this ex¬ citing search was a well known foot¬ ball player on crutches, who “just couldn’t make ‘Kay’s’ card match his.” What a shame! A sudden hush fell upon the crowd at the sound of “Here Comes the Bride,” but of course the clergyman entered first. No other than Dicky Kern’s slender figure was hidden under the Ministerial black, and the expression of sanctimonious solemnity upon his countenance proved too much for our irreverent Faculty’s sense of humor. The bride was a dream in billowy white as “she” shyly hid “her” face behind the flowing veil. Teddy De Silva made a handsome groom, al¬ though he lost his perfect poise for a time when the elusive ring was being “trailed.” Julian Woodward, the aged father wore a relieved expression to parents in war time, who have unload¬ ed their surplus stock upon the mar¬ ket. He tried manfully to console the grief-stricken mother, Waldon Moore, who wept floods of tears all over his velvet gown. After the happy couple had been mirthfully “hitched,” there was a stampede to kiss the bride. Mr. Wilson reached her first and seemed a trifle disconcerted, as Howord Ves¬ per presented his rose-petal cheek for the caress which was not forthcoming. (Gurgles of joy from the apprecia¬ tive spectators.) Next the good ship “Useless” hove into port, manned by four piratical- looking tars, including Art Garfield, “Doug” Mackenzie, “Chuck” Prickett, and Jack Brown. As soon as the anchor was cast, the crew fell in and executed a variety of weird army and navy maneuvers, which brought tears of laughter to everyone’s eyes. After a heated discussion over the contents of a jug, the jolly middies sailed for regions unknown on a breeze of con¬ gratulatory applause. Following this, Douglas MacKenzie, still under the influence of the “salt sea waves,” sang “So Long Mother” in his own inimitable manner, but but could not be persuaded to respond to many encores. As by this time even Miss Tennis was beginning to feel the pangs of hunger, the compas¬ sionate committee served all with Ice¬ cream cones, “chocolate, strawberry an’ vanilla, take your choice” — big juicy refci ajpples, “don’t forget to count the seeds,” and cakes of crisp crackerjack. The alarming way In which those dainties disappeared caused Marjorie Test to open her eyes very wide, but as the president £aid the supply was unlimited, everyone munched happily on. Finally, as the censored hour- of mystic midnight drew near, (figura¬ tively speaking) the guests made their reluctant farewells and sadly left be¬ hind the fiower-bedecked roof, scene of the wonderful Senior Cheer-Up, the seasons superlative success.
