Featuring all of the radiation and combustibility of the atomic bomb, Pasadena City
College will engage Compton College in one of the most highly-touted and contested tilts in
Western State Conference history this Friday evening in the Rose Bowl. Probably the
major question of the day is whether or not the Rose Bowl can handle such an explosion.
Overture To Victory/ AMS-AWS Backwards
Da nee Tomorrow Night, Precedes Compton Game
Sponsored by the AWS and AMS Boards of Pasadena City College, this year’s first Back¬
wards Dance will be held tomorrow night at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium from 9 to 11

Powderpuff League Play Highlighted
Today by ‘Ruffie-Tuffie’ Fracas Here
Kickoff time has been set for 8:30 this afternoon in the
annual feminine football fracas on Horrell Field. Jean Judy,
league chairman, announced that a trophy will be presented
to the winning eleven. The trophy will be engraved with the
as their theme" They Still Need
You.” Activities during the week
have all been designed to edu¬
cate the general student popu¬
lace concerning the need in Euro¬
pean and Asiatic countries for
adequate schooling facilities and
materials. Twenty-five per cent
of the total collected at City Col¬
lege will go toward the Displaced
Persons Program. The majority
of the money will be equally dis¬
tributed among destitute stu¬
dents in South East Asia and
India, China Europe.
Fqod Booths to Sell
International food booths have
been constructed and costumed
vendors will sell food typical of
the European countries from
which they came originally. On
Monday, “tacos” were sold by
native Latin Americans, and yes¬
terday's special was typical of
Asiatic fare. Today’s food fea¬
ture represents Europe.
J. Williams Talks
Since proceeds of this after¬
noon’s feminine football fracas
go toward WSSF, Joan Williams,
commissioner of international re¬
lations, disclosed that student
speculation as to the outcome of
the game will take place in the
main hall of the C building. “By
making small contributions to
WSSF,” Miss Williams asserted,
“collegians can watch their fav¬
orite team run the gamut of the
enthusiasm indicator.”
Picture Screened
On Monday, with a repeat per¬
formance yesterday, at noon a
motion picture entitled “This Is
Our Story” was screened in Sex-
son Auditorium to further en¬
lighten students on WSSF activi¬
ties. The movie shows how WS¬
SF remedied some of the tragic
situations resulting from World
War II devastation, and how it is
presently attempting to alleviate
further suffering. After both per¬
formances, John Cole, traveling
secretary for the organization,
delivered a commentary on the
value of the picture, describing
some of his own first-hand ex¬
periences while touring Europe.
Last night ,at the Sacrificial
Dinner held in behalf of WSSF,
those in attendance were served
examples of food available to
their European counterparts. The
meal consisted of a bowl of soup,
an apple and a slice of bread.
Dr. Harbeson Will
Attend Meeting
Dr. John W. Harbeson, City
College principal, leaves today for
Chicago where he will attend the
executive committee meeting of
the Higher Education Division,
National Education Association
which commences Saturday.
Dr. Harbeson received his ap¬
pointment last September when
the present US Commissioner of
Education, Earl J. McGrath, re¬
signed his post on the committee.
Dr. Harbeson was unanimously
elected by the committee mem¬
bers to fill Mr. McGrath’s unex¬
pired term which runs until July
of next year.
The local principal will return
to his administrative duties here
late next week. Mrs. Harbeson
will accompany him to the Chi¬
cago meeting.
Speakers at the dinner were the
Reverend George Hill and Mr.
Cole. The latter is a former PCC
student, and was student body
president at Redlands University
last year.
Financial arrangements for the
drive are under the supervision
of Phyllis Manninger and Robert
Long. Gilda Vasconcelos, Inter¬
national Club president, is over¬
all chairman of the internation¬
al food booths. Felisa Maimoni,
Beatrice Johnson and Ada Hauss-
mann head the South American,
Asiatic and European booths, re¬

tet of collegiennes to inspire
cheers.
Haugh, Metten Coaches

men, will serve as head coach for
the “Tuffies,” while Carl Metten,

They will wear regulation equip¬
ment: shoulder pads, jerseys, hel¬
mets and levis. All proceeds from
the game will be directed into
the WSSF total.
“Everyone should get his tick¬
et as soon as possible,” Miss Judy
stated, “because they are going
like hoteakes.”

So, all you girls had better grab
a guy for the big affair.”

Friday Deadline Set
For NROTC Applicants
Deadline for applications to the
US Naval Reserve Officers Train¬
ing Corps college scholarship pro¬
gram is this Friday, Robert D.
Haugh, dean of men, announced
recently.
Fifty-two colleges throughout
the country are open to NROTC
cadets who are eligible and who
can pass the examinations.
Both teams have been pointing
toward this particular game for
some eight weeks. Or perhaps a
more apt way of illustrating the
time spent in preparation for
this game would be to coordin¬
ate it with the beginning of the
WSC “ineligibility” trials. An ex¬
tremely high competitive barri¬
er has been erected between
these two institutions as a re¬
sult of recent WSC conferences.
The Bulldog-Tartar game will no
doubt be the junior college game
of the year. At the present time
Compton boasts a rather shakey
undefeated record while the Bull¬
dogs are rated as a definite power
with no room for criticism. For
all intents and purposes the
teams will be given equal pre¬
game ratings.
Compton Larder Full
In surveying the Tartar situa¬
tion from end to end we can as¬
sume that there are approximate¬
ly 50 dangerous men on the
Compton squad. They have ev¬
erything that is necessary to field
a winning team. For the “heavy
roles” they have 17 men that
burden the scales at 200 pounds
or over, the heaviest being 270
pounds. In the flash and scat
column they have the incompar¬
able Don Bohrman from Gardena
who has led the Tartars through
their current season with his
unerring right arm passing.
21 Numbermen Return
Coach Tay Brown will have 21
returning lettermen at his dis¬
posal Friday night when they
clash with the Bulldogs.
Compton is Pasadena’s oldest
rival, the two having met for the
first time in 1927 with the Pasa¬
dena squad winning, 7-0. The
series has continued uninterrupt¬
ed since 1930 and is the longest
junior college rivalry in the na¬
tion. The 24-game series stands
at 14 games for Compton and 7
games for Pasadena with 3 ties.
The last Pasadena victory was
in 1947 when the Bulldogs upset
the Tartars and knocked them
out of the Little Rose Bowl in
favor of Chaffey College. A
Little Rose Bowl bid is in the
offing Friday night and both
teams are ready for a scarp from
the starting gun. Victory is as¬
sured for neither team. Defeat
is inevitable for one. It is not
within the realm of possibility
that either team will allow the
game to end in a deadlock. For
the sake of the Crown City let’s
hope . . .
