Civic  and   Religious   Leaders
Endorse Drive Plans at
Gathering
In the third day of the drive for
$350,000, the  sum  necessary for the
purchase   of   the   Masonic   Cemetery
grounds and the expansion of the University  of  San  Francisco,  campaign
headquarters reports that every possible effort is being expended by the
great corps of workers that have rallied to the support of the university
in its present fight for funds.    The
drive climaxes five months of intensive organization activity.
Tivoli Rally
The drive proper was started last
Sunday  evening  at  a   rally  in  the
Tivoli Theater attended by the civic
and   religious   leaders   of  the   city.
Richard  M. Tobin, chairman of the
executive committee of the  appeal,
presided  at the  affair, which  drew
more    than    2,000    interested    San
Franciscans.      Speakers    included:
Mayor Rossi, Rev. Edward J. Whelan,
S.  J.,  president  of the  university;
Rev.   Thomas    F.    Burke,  C.  S.   P.,
superior of the Paulist Fathers, and
William  H.  McCarthy, chairman of
the campaign committee.
Margaret O'Dea Sings
Miss Margaret O'Dea rendered two
contralto solos, accompanied on the
piano by Harry Wood Brown. E. Por-
cini was well received in three baritone selections. The Glee Club of the
university appeared and sang the Col
\ege Medley and Swing Along.
Gov. Rolph Appeal Urges
Civic Co-operation for Drive
Governor James Rolph, Jr., in recent commendation of the efforts of
the University of San Francisco,
says:
Mindful of the emergency that confronts the University of San Francisco, permit me to add my appeal to
the loyal people of my native city to
assist you in your effort to acquire the
Masonic Cemetery lands.
Old St. Ignatius is linked with the
fondest memories and traditions of
pioneer days and the early settlement of San Francisco. From the
humble structure in the sandhills
of St. Anne's Valley to the imposing
buildings that now crown Ignatian
Heights it has been a long struggle
of sacrifice and disappointment, but
nevertheless seventy-six years filled
with accomplishment.

How the old troupers' tradition,
"the show must go on," applies as
poignantly to the amateur as to the
professional stage, wa's graphically
illustrated last week at the College
Players' production of "Pages of the
Past" before the South of Market
Boys' Club.
Matt O'Brien, '33, who had a leading part in the play, appeared as
scheduled and made a flawless performance. Few in the audience knew
that his father had passed away the
night before.
Backed by the sympathy of Director
Gill and his fellow players, O'Brien
went through the rough, swaggering
lines of the Sheriff in the play. As a
final touch, the lines included frequent references to the bond between
father and son.
The show went on; O'Brien passed
his trial by fire.
Loyola Guild Attends
Mass Before Starting
Drive Work
Hundreds of members of the
Loyola Guild signified their sincere
co-operation in the University of
San Francisco Drive by attending
Mass Monday morning in St. Ignatius Church.
It was a wholesome spirit manifested by the mothers of U. S. F.
students.
After Mass they went to Drive
Headquarters, 500 Post Street, to
launch the citywide drive.
Today is the third day they have
been working.

Law Class Prexy
Loses Seat, Gets
Tag at Grid Game
Disregarding the entrance space to
a private garage, Bill Barden, president of the senior class of the night
Law College, parked his car hurriedly
last Friday night.
Barden went into the football game,
where he obtained an excellent seat
on the 50-yard line.
The first quarter scarcely had commenced when an announcement over
the broadcasting system informed the
populace and Barden that "car so and
so was parked in front of whoozis
garage.'
Barden, through the description
given by the announcer, identified his
car and went out to receive a tag from
the obliging officer.
When he got back his seat was
gone.
FEATURE HARRIS,
EDDIE BUSH TRIO
AT FIRST RALLY
Phil Harris and the Eddie Bush trio
from the St. Francis Hotel were the
featured artists on an ambitious program arranged by Ed Murphy for the
first football rally of the year last Friday. The occasion was the introduction of the varsity football squad and
the inauguration of the pigskin season.
After the  opening  march  by the
orchestra,   under   the   direction   of
Harold Harper, Ed Murphy took the
floor to greet the team and to extend  to  the students  a  promise  of
an undefeated season.    He acted as
master   of   ceremonies.     The   Glee
Club of the university made its first
local   appearance   a   few   moments
later with the College Medley. Frederick Brown did the conducting.
Manager Award to Lundy
Early in the proceedings the manager's block sweater, presented each
year to the senior manager of football,
was  awarded   to  Thomas  Lundy  by
Father Albert Whelan,  S.  J., faculty
director of athletics.    Father Edward
J. Whelan, S. J., addressed the students and stressed the necessity, from
many standpoints, of returning a winner Friday night.
Brigham Young Represented
Brigham Young University was
well represented at the rally by
Coach Otto Romney and Captain
Keith Wangerguard. Each addressed
the student body and expressed
his desire for a real gridiron battle. Rotnney's anecdotes were
heartily received by an entertained
audience. Captain Bob Kleckner
promised the students a victory.
"IQ" Test Question
Shows Church Has 7
To 18 Front Pillars
"Believe It or not"—as they say.
The great majority of U. S. F. students, after passing St. Ignatius
Church for "y'ars and y'ars," can't
state with any degree of certitude
how many main pillars adorn the
front of that imposing structure.
If you don't believe us, try it
yourself. Better yet, ask Father
Raymond Feely, S. J., how many
of his psychology class, all guess-
ers excluded, were able to summon
up a sufficiently clear memory
image to tally in their mind's eye
the number of uprights.
One claimed that there were
eighteen; many held out for three.
As a matter of fact, there are four.
Even after personal observation we
have those that still bet on six or
even on nine. As a last resort,
count them yourself . . . we don't
care ... 1 ... 2 ... 3,
FOGMEN PREPARE
FOR SUNDAY TILT
WITH ARMY MULE
FRAT PHANTOM JINKS
TOLD BY FOGHORN
STAFF MEMBER
Shades of Hamlet and his father's
ghost! Throwbacks to the ancient
castles of England and the ghost-
ridden old abbeys of Europe!
Thoughts of "The Bat," of Horror
House and visions of "the ghost in
chains" . . . What's it all about? Shh-
Shh-Shh, be quiet, speak slowly. Did
you know that there is a HAUNTED
house around the campus? There, now
you know! Yes, sir! a genuine
haunted house, so the neighbors declare. It hasn't been rented for years,
although it is an attractive place, and
various and eerie sounds emit from
it on particular occasions. Other tales
could be told, but they would be too
weird for the cold printed page.
SKS House
The house is located at No. 2 Anza
Street, and is the home of the Sigma
Kappa Sigma fraternity. The brothers
declare that it is all bosh—but nevertheless all their meetings, entertainments, etc., end just before the fatal
hour of 12 o'clock midnight, at which
hour the spirit is said to come forth
from the shades of the night mist.
When the boys moved in one evening
last August the radio suddenly
stopped at exactly 12 o'clock, and was
silent for five minutes, during which
time sounds of a scuffle were plainly
heard in the attic. The brothers attempted to laugh it off, as the saying
is, and even the next day, when the
neighbors told them the rumor prevalent in the neighborhood, they were
still unconvinced. But yon can't joke
with the psychic, and they've only
been in the house two months.
Precocious Students Sift
Plautus' Plays for
Flaws
By GEORGE BOTTOMS
A stubborn Army Mule will offer
the University of San Francisco its
last test Sunday afternoon at Kezar
before the Gray Fog takes on the
team reputed to be the best on the
Coast—St. Mary's.
Sunday afternoon will be the Hilltoppers' daylight debut, the opening
game of the 1931 season being played
at night against the visiting Brigham
Young University eleven. Fresh from
their 25 to 0 victory over the Mormons, the Men of the Mist were prepared to hang up scalp number two
against Uncle Sam's own.
The U. S. F. eleven must show more
Sunday than they did last Friday
night if they expect to romp over the
Mules the same way as they did the
Cougars. Flashes of a great running
attack shown Friday night may be
brought out in the light against the
Army, and if so it will be "Goodbye
Army."
Army Holds Pack
While the Fog was scoring Its
initial victory, the Army came close
to chalking up their own. Against
Nevada last Saturday at Reno the
Mules held the Wolf Pack to a
scoreless tie. It was the Army's
game, but the gun halted a drive
that ended with the visitors having
the ball on Nevada's one-yard
marker.
The forward wall of the U. S. F.
vaTsity will be given its first real test
of strength by the smashing, plunging Nodgie Ganuzzi. Ganuzzi, the
grand old man of football, hits as
hard as ever and if the Fog linemen
can stop his powerhouse drives they
will have proven their strength.
Coach Jimmy Needles will probably
start the same lineup that ran the
B. Y. U. eleven ragged. In the back-
field will be Warford at quarter,
Kleckner and either Olson or Garrigan at halfs and big Glenn Brown at
the fullback berth. This quartet of
ball-carriers did most of the gaining
Fridjay night, and Needles expects
them to continue going places against
the West Coast Army.
Harder to Choose
The forward wall will  be a little
harder to choose than the backfield.
Chisholm, Ward, Huntley and  Richland are all  leading candidates for
the end jobs.   Chisholm played good
ball Friday night and may be given
one of the flanks, while Ward  and
Huntley will  probably battle it out
for the other.
George Ososke and Oscar Higuera,
who,   Needles   claims,   are   the   two
best tackles on the Coast, have their
jobs  cinched.    Happe  and  Nelson  or
Patterson   will   be   at   guards   and
"Chilly"   Chilberg  at  center  to   complete the wall that the Army backs
must drive through.
(Continued on Page 3, Col. 2)
The Horatians, upper division Latin
Society, at its seminar last week, discussed the plays of Plautus, whose
works, "The Captives" and "Trinum-
mus," they are studying. Essays were
read on the life and work of this popular Roman playright. Next week
the officers will be chosen by the Moderator, Rev. John J. Gearon, S. J.
Gill Casts Players
For the "Show Off"
James J. Gill, director of dramatics,
casted for "The Show Off," his first
production of the present semester,
last Monday night. The play selected
was presented very successfully here
three years ago by Henry Duffy.
While Gill indicated that a veteran
cast would be chosen to present the
first play of the season, nevertheless
many students who have not previously appeared on the college stage
were on the roster of candidates. The
show of enthusiasm by the Student
Body augurs well for the coming dra
matic season.
