Is Installed
Examination To
Be Offered On
Next Saturday
“All students entering the 13th
grade here this fall must have ta¬
ken the placement examinations be¬
fore they can be considered as mou
than temporarily registered in this
school,” said Dr. Glenn L. Lembke,
counselor here, who is in charge
of the tests. “Last, and final, op¬
portunity to take the tests will be
tomorrow, September 19 at 8:00
a. m.”
These examinations have been
offered three times previously and
any one who has not taken them
should do so next Saturday. The
test includes a psychological, read¬
ing and English examination and
is used to determine what type of
English class the junior should be
placed in, and failure to take the
tests will result in exclusion from
English classes.
A fee of $2.50 will be charged
for the test, and students should
pay this at the bank before taking
the test. Eight hundred and forty
nine have taken the test so far.
Dr. Harbeson
Gives Advice
To New Club
For the purpose of greater econ¬
omy on toll charges and for better
office efficiency, a new PBX switch¬
board has- been installed at the
junior college and all calls for this
school go over the new number,
TErrace 1131. .
Miss Mildred Violet Allen is the
operator for the board which is lo¬
cated in the back of the Hunter
house. Everett Mathews is the
student relief but it is planned, ac¬
cording to John A. Anderson, dean
of records, that all the office help
will learn to operate the board.
Four main trunk lines go outside
from this board while six still con¬
nect with the downtown office of the
board of education. The switch¬
board closes at 4:30 daily. During
one hour recently 120 calls were
put through. _

Always Tough,’ Says Bob McNeish
By John “Tufiy” Carter
The debut of the 1936 Bulldog varsity will be made tonight when
Coach Bob McNeish’s outfit tangles up with the Santa Ana Dons in
the Pasadena Rose Bowl. Both teams are untried as yet this season
and their real strength is unknown, but a real game is believed to be
on tap, however, as the Dons have never failed to click early in the
season and this year’s team is no

pages for engagements and a
space for identification of the
owner and his program. Books
may be obtained in the student un¬
ion today and Monday by those
who did not receive one.
In commenting on the book,
Prouse said, “I hope the students
will like the new features. We
have tried to make it more practi¬
cal than in previous years.”
Students may obtain information
on student government, campus
centers, activities, regulations, tra¬
ditions, songs and yells, service
points, the constitution, social prac¬
tice and dates of meetings by look¬

DRAMATICS GROUP
TO HOLD TRYOUTS
To all eleventh and twelfth year
students, the Bauble and Bells dra¬
matic club has extended an invita¬
tion to take part in the coming
tryouts for membership in the or¬
ganization on October 1, at 3:30
p. m. in 100T.
The requirements for those who
will compete have not yet been
announced, but will be published
at a later date. The judges for
the competition will be picked be¬
fore October 1.
“This club is one of the oldest
in the school, and besides the dra¬
matic interests, there are many
social activities,” said Miss Kath¬
erine Kester, dramatics instructor
and adviser of the club. “We sin¬
cerely hope that all 11th and 12th
year students who are interested
in dramatics will join in the try¬
outs.”
All Rose Bowl Games To
Be Announced By Oil
Company
For the second consecutive sea¬
son, the Associated Oil company
will furish the announcing system
for all of the Bulldog’s home games
to be played in the Rose Bowl, ac-
ccording to D. D. Durr, advertising
manager for the company.
Upon receiving the schedule, W.
K. Dunn, head of the department
of physical education, commented,
“Having officiated at Pacific Coast
conference games in practically
every ma jor stadium on the Pacific
Coast, I deem it fortunate that
Pasadena’s games will be covered
by an announcing staff and public
address system, which, from my
observation, is unexcelled any¬
where in the West.”
Team Told
Earl S. Ricker, Pasadena ju¬
nior college, ’29, who has worked
on the past six New Year’s
games, has again been selected
to announce these contests. Norm
Ricker, ’32’ youngest member of

retary of athletics at Pasadena,
will serve as sideline observer.
The announcing system for these

of equipment as is installed in the

and other major stadia on the Pa¬
cific Coast, and is contained in an
especially designed sound truck.

exception.
The McNeishmen showed tremen¬
dous power and scoring punch dur¬
ing spring practice but how the
team will go under fire will not be
known until after the nocturnal
kickoff. Since spring practice
McNeish has been deprived of eight
men who are expected to go
places this season but September
entrants in school have proved to
be of such high calibre that it is
difficult at this time to pick a first
string, as able candidates are two
and three deep for each of the ele¬
ven positions.
Former Terriers Transfer
Muir Tech contributed several
high class players to McNeish’s
cause, among them being Aker
Valley, tackle, Jack Sorenson,
guard, Briscoe Root, tackle, Don
Breshears, back, and Bill Brock,
back. It is highly probable that at
least three of these men, Bresh¬
ears, Root and Valley, will start
tonight’s game. Breshears has
been groomed for the inside half
post left vacant by Tommy Som-
merville, last year’s most valuable
player, who has elected to save his
future eligibility for college.
McNeish’s team is. expected to
use much the same type of offense
as last season. The team has been
going through hard driils and ap¬
pears to be in good condition, sig¬
nifying that plenty of rough and
tough football can be expected of it.
Another item in the local’s favor
is that the squad is much farther
along than it was at this time
last season. Coaches Metten, An¬
derson and Jaqua have been on
hand to aid McNeish in whipping
the team into shape.
22 Vets Back
Santa Ana’s lineup has been
bolstered by the reported return of
22 lettermen. Head Coach Bill
Cook has had plenty of trouble
in finding 11 starters for this game.
Like McJMeish, Cook has several
men for each position and only a
game itself will decide the best
players.
Dispatches from Santa Ana are
of the opinion that the Dons will
use a passing attack against the
Bulldogs. Joe Herbert and Rice
have been doing most of the Dons’
pass slinging during recent prac¬
tice. Rice, a fullback, hails from
Orange high school and is in his
first year at the Dons’ school. The
lad is highly touted, however, be¬
cause of his prep school reputation,
and tonight’s cash customers are
apt to hear of him quite often.

the year, the Patrons association of

ecutive board meeting Thursday
