Two of the oldest enemies in
junior college annals renew their
feud Friday night in the Rose
Bowl when an undefeated and
untied Pasadena eleven clashes
with the always rugged Comp¬
ton Tartars.
The fact that the winner of
this game will probably wind up
with the Western State Confer¬
ence crown only adds incentive
to these bitterest of rivals who
began their wars back in 1927
when Pasadena walked away
with a 7-0 victory. Since then,
the Bulldogs have won but eight
out of 27 contests, with three
games ending in scoreless ties.
Bulldogs Win In 1947
The last time Pasadena emerg¬
ed victorious was in 1947, when
the Red and White halted a pow¬
erful Tartar aggregation, 14-13,
to stifle any hopes that Compton
might have had for the Junior
Rose Bowl bid.
Compton’s forces were elimin¬
ated from the run for the roses
early in the current campaign,
when a Tartar end was found to
be ineligible. However, the Tar¬
tars have been careful not to
use him in any conference
games.
Tartars Boast 11 Wins
So far this season, Compton
has won five and tied one and
over the past two years the Tar¬
tars have been undefeated in 11
straight games. The last team
to whip them was Ventura, the
Pirates booming Compton, 21-6,
for the only Tartar loss of the
1950 campaign.
Ralph Kubota and Herman
Stokes lead the Compton offense
this season, both averaging close
to 10 yards each time they carry
the ball. To counteract these
two, Coach Bob Blackman will
rely upon his great defensive
line and an attack of his own,
spearheaded by A1 Napoleon,
Hank Makekau, George Ham¬
mond and possibly Addison Haw¬
thorne, who was in the Long
Beach contest for a few plays.
Third Floor Gallery
Opens New Display
Featuring instruction in free¬
hand drawing, a new art display
opened today in the gallery on
the top floor of C building.
According to John Ehlen, ad¬
viser, “This exhibit illustrates
the application of basic principles
in drawing.” Also on display will
be theory charts to indicate what
the art enthusiasts are attempt¬
ing to carry out in their work.
Saturday Set for Annual
Newman Club 'Sno-Ball’
“Sno-Ball,” annual fall dance sponsored by PCC’s Newman Club,
will be held next Saturday night from 9 to midnight at the Pasa¬
dena Woman’s Club, 58 South Sierra Madre Boulevard.
Chuck Cabot’s popular orchestra will provide music for the
event, which is Newman’s fifth annual all-school ball. The hall is
to be decorated to fit the Sno-Ball theme.
A featured event at the dance will be the selection of five can¬
didates for “Sno-Ball Queen” from among the guests, with the winner
to be chosen by the dancers at a penny per vote. The Queen will
be crowned by the Newman Club president and will reign over the
festivities for the evening.
Open to all City College students, dress for the event is semi-
formal, women wearing formal gowns while men will be attired in
dark suits. Bids at $1.75 per couple will be on sale all this week at
the Bank in the Student Union, at the Newman office in 23C, and
also at the Woman’s Club on Saturday.
Newman Club is a religious-social organization for Catholic
students and any other interested students on campus. Leading the
group this semester are John O’Conner, president; Ed yalentine, vice-
prsident; Marianna Tkach, secretary; and Charlotte Sanford, trea¬
surer.
