‘PUT SUMPIN’ IN THE POT ... boy!’ admonishes Virginia
Roycroft, WSSF classroom solicitation chairman, to Jim Dona¬

Pasadena Breaks
Athletic Ties
With Compton
Pasadena City College late
yesterday afternoon severed
athletic relations with Comp¬
ton College because of alleged
“unsportsmanlike conduct” on
the part of the Tartar football
team in last Thursday’s game
with the Bulldogs.
Dr. Edward Rowins, assist¬
ant principal of PCC, sent a
letter of protest to Dr. Stuart
McComb, president of Comp¬
ton College, stating, “this letter
is not a complaint against or
rationalization of a losing score.
The personal fouls and other
illegal play which occurred
were as inexcusable as they
are regretable.”
Dr. Rowins’ action came
after the unanimous approval
of the entire administrative
staff. It is also rumored that
John Muir College will follow
Pasadena in severance with
Compton.
WSSF Classroom Solicitation
Precedes Thanksgiving Rites
Classroom solicitation for the World Student Service Fund begins today, according to
Virginia Roycroft, chairman. Collections will be taken during' all ten o’clock classes, at
which time inquiries about the purpose of WSSF will be answered. During today’s three

For Viking Encounter
Compton Conflagration Leaves Locals Injury-riddled;
Pasadena Hopes to Upset Norsemen, Play in LRB
Pasadena’s Bulldogs make one last desperate lunge for
the privilege of making their long-desired debut in the Little
Rose Bowl this year tomorrow night when they meet the
high-riding Long Beach City College Vikings in the harbor
city. Kickoff time is 8 p.m. Fresh from a miserable defeat
at the hands of Compton College last week the Canines, by
knocking over undefeated LBCC, can make a legitimate bid
to represent the West in the JC Rose Bowl tilt next month.
This season, the Vikings have more than lived up to the
fierce, unyielding reputation of their roving namesakes. Shift¬
ing to the Metropolitan League, they are, however, ineligible
for the league title because they were unable to schedule
more than four encounters with Metro squads. Nevertheless,
they leave in their undaunted, deeply-etched gridiron wake
the deflated hopes of some eight formidable elevens that
faced Long Beach and lived to regret it.
In its opening contest, the seashore aggregation rolled
against powerful Santa Ana’s
lunch periods, a “lucky coin”
asked to throw spare change in¬
to the pools, which will then be
dragged, with the receipts going
to the international student fund.
Ingvar Kattemaa, a DP student
expected to arrive shortly on the
local scene from Europe, will be
honored tomorrow in a further
plea for WSSF, during “Ingvar
Kattemaa Day.” Final classroom
collections will be taken at this
time.
Pastor Will Speak
Zipper on the drive will be ap¬
plied Friday, when the Rev.
George Hill, Pastor of the First
Baptist Church, speaks at the an¬
nual Thanksgiving assembly,
sponsored by the Campus Religi¬
ous Council. Mike Schon is in
charge of the service.
Choir to Perform
Music for the observance will
be supplied by the A Cappella
Choir, directed by Edward N.
Qualen, which will sing, “Lo,
God Is Here” and "God Is the
Light of the World.”
Goal for the WSSF campaign
is $1000, devoted to a “Give for
Tomorrow — Today” theme. Half
of this amount will be sent to
Burma's Rangoon University to
aid destitute students there,
while $500 will be used to help
establish a tuberculosis sanitari¬
um for Greek students.
Under the joint supervision of
Anne Fox and Jim Donahue, ad¬
ditional committee chairman for
the fund drive are Joyce Kilgore,
art; and Anne Johnson, main hall

Also on the Senior Class cal¬

mission on the Turkey Tussle
plans. This year, since the com¬
mission has been unable to af¬
ford pompons for the rooting
section, the Senior Class has tak¬
en over the project. Pompons will
be sold for 10 cents along with
game tickets.
Those who wish to sit in the
rooting section at the Turkey
Tusle must have these pompons.
Bullpup Supporters Accompany Team
To Monrovia for Traditional Clash .
Pup Commission and Rooter’s Club members will travel to Mon¬
rovia to support the Bullpup varsity in a game against the lower
division’s traditional rivals next Friday.
Led by Pup Commissioner Bob Jones and Rooter’s Club Presi¬
dent Doug Funderburk, the group will leave the campus by chartered
bus at 7 p.m., following a pep rally starting at 6:30 on the front
steps of the C building. Riding with the Pup enthusiasts will be part
of the Bulldog Band, the lower division song girls and cheer leaders,
and the commission’s mascots, Mary Jo Wickman and Dusty Funder¬
burk.
Other Pup Commission plans for the day include a pep rally to
be held at noon, and the introduction of a new yell, “Stamp Your
Hands,” by the Rooter’s Club.
Students wishing to ride the rooter’s bus to the game may buy
tickets for 50 cents. Those interested should contact Funderburk
in 17C between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. today or tomorrow.
Fall Party
With Pie, Troubadors, Interviews
Honoring City College administrators, the Faculty Fel¬
lowship, Faculty Women’s Club and the Faculty Men’s Club
are giving a fall party at the Casita del Arroyo. This informal
affair will be held on Sunday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Roving troubadors will provide the music in the form of Amer¬
ica folk songs. Dr. Fanny Vigoureux is planning the decorations,
which will consist of donut trees
and a plaque made of fruit to
be placed io the faculty mailing
room. Cornucopias will overflow
on the tables with fruit and
nuts. Miss Marjorie MecGloth-
lin and Vernon Spaulding are
making arrangements for sand¬
wiches, mince, apple and pump¬
kin pies, candy, coffee and cider.
Miss Emma Bee Mundy and
J. Ray Risser will serve as rov¬
ing reporters. Equipped with a
public address system they will
announce and introduce the hon¬
ored guests as they are found
among the group.
The direction of the party is
under the co-chairmanship of
Mrs. Amy Grau Miller, Dr. Vig¬
oureux and Merrill J. Poore.

rated as their best performance

without its price, for LBCC lost

provided Buck Andreasen’s
mighty gridsters with their
eighth victory.
LBCC Takes Rest Cure
If the Long Beach record is
not enough to impress Bulldog
fans, the fact that, while Pasa¬
dena emerged mangled, mauled
and miserable after the Compton
mishap, the Vikings drew a bye
last week certainly should; the
hosts will be just doubly rested
for the clash.
Tricky Technique Prevails
A tricky system of confound¬
ing opposition is employed by
the talented Norsemen, who,
with no less than 13 returning
lettermen, can afford variety in
technique. The LBCC backfield
is sprinkled with stellar ball car¬
riers: when one back has turned
in a particularly commendable
performance at a previous game,
he gets a vacation while his col¬
leagues of the turf lug the pig¬
skin. The defensive squad can
never be certain as to which Vi¬
king seamen bears the anchor.
In the Pasadena kennels, dis¬
mal spirits after the Coliseum
episode mingle with the consum¬
ing desire to stage an upset that
would warm the hearts of skep¬
tical Crown Citizens everywhere.
