              The Maroon VOL. IX LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1930 No. 6 FRESHMEN, SOPHS IN ANNUAL FIGHT FOR SILVER CUP Contest For Hausmann Trophy Will Start With Debate The first battle of the war for the Hausmann Trophy between the first year men and the sophomores will take place on December 18, in the form of a debate between the representatives of the two classes. Neither teams has been picked yet, but a preliminary debate will be held in the .separate classes to determine who shall be their defenders. In the sophomore class Lozes and Leppert of Fr. O'Connor's section of the English class will debate two sophs from Fr. de Monsabert's class to determine which two shall meet the freshmen in the final forensic display. The freshmen, as yet, are an unknown quality, but it is rumored that Rat Barker is boasting that he will make the country forget about Webster and Calhoun. Blasi and Whitley are said to be likely prospects also. The Hausmann Trophy is awarded annually to the class which wins a majority of five contests. This year the contests will be as follows: First, the debate, then a basketball game, next an essay contest, followed by an indoor baseball game, and finally, either a tug-o'-war or an oratorical contest. Last year the freshmen brought home the bacon by annexing the debate, a soccer contest, and an essay contest. The sophs won the tug-o'-war and the basketball game. This year the sophs are anxious to make it two straight and repeat their winning ways. The rodents are still smoldering from their treatment at the hands of the "rat exterminators" and it is believed they will welcome this opportunity of revenge. Some ardent yearlings even want a football game on the program so that they can muss up a few sophs. Usually the Hausmann Trophy contests starts earlier in the year, but this year the debate is scheduled first. It is being delayed as long as possible in order that the freshmen may become educated sufficiently. The subject is as yet undecided upon but will most probably be the Phi Beta Kappa question. HOLIDAY MONDAY Next Monday being the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, there will be a full holiday in all departments of the university. It is a holyday of obligation. Classes will be resumed as usual Tuesday morning. U. D. C. PRESENT CONFEDERATE FLAG TO UNIVERSITY Signal Honor Awarded in Memory of Sons of General Allison Owen A Confederate flag was presented to Loyola university last week at an assembly of the entire student body, by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, in memory of the four members of the family of General Allison Owen, who lost their lives in the War Between the States and the World War. Attached to the pole of the flag was a plaque bearing the inscription: "To Loyola university for its contribution to American citizenship." The flag was given in memory of Lieutenant- Colonel William Owen of the Washington Artillery and Captain Edward Owen, the father and uncle of General Owen, who were killed in the War Between the States, and in memorySODALITY PLANS FOR CONVENTION Tentative Date For Meet Is Set For Lenten Season The Sodality has been progressing at a slow speed in order to build up a firm foundation, but soon steps will be taken to foster many important activities, among which is a big sodality convention. Plans have been formulated to invite the presidents of the various sodalities to a special meeting to De held at an early date in order to decide upon the time and place favorable for such a convention, a tentative date being during Lent. The co-operation of all sodality members is urged in order that the convention not only materialize, but be a huge success. At a recent meeting, the Reverend George A. Hayes, S. J., who replaced the Reverend William T. Crean, S. J., as Spiritual Director of the Sodality formed the Knights of the Blessed Sacrament with George Leppert as chairman. J. Everett and A. Riolo were appointed chairmen of the Bulletin Board Committee and publicity agent, respectively. The Knights, as Fr. Hayes explained, are a group of students who promise to receive Holy Communion at least once a week and to visit Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament whenever possible. Members of the Sodality as well as anyone in no way affiliated with it can become Knights, and it is hoped that a large number will demonstrate their love for their Eucharistic King and enroll under I the banner of the Knights. i WWL APPOINTS ORCHESTRA LEADER PROGRAM DIRECTOR Earl Crumb and His Orchestra Will Ee Featured From WWL WWL, the university radio station has made another step forward. Earl Crumb, prominent orchestra leader has been appointed program director and will handle all the talent for future broadcasts. Mr. Crumb has one of the finest orchestras in the South and it will be an asset to the station., Included in his group are Ed. "Snoozof Quinn, formerly of Paul Whiteman's Band. Ray Benitez, who graduated from this university in 1929, and Frank Pinero, one of the South's premier pianists. The orchestra is featured from WWL three times a week beginning this Sunday.

Smokey Joe and Teetain, well known j to listeners of WWL have returned and are featured twice weekly on Sunday and Tuesday. Adrian Fraiche, from the Louisianne Restaurant, is jon the air daily. Ada Rives is a daily feature. The big feature of j the week, however, will be the play I by play description of the Loyola- Detroit tilt played for the Doll and Toy fund. Brother Brown will announce this presentation on Saturday afternoon, December 6. It has been rumored that WWL will soon move it's transmitter from it's present place in Bobet Hall to somewhere outside the city limits. We also hear that a conference was ; held with a Mr. Charles Branch, a gentleman who goes about the country building high powered radio stations.

Wolves Draw Curtain On Grid Season Tomorrow Detroit Titans Arrive For [I Final Intersectional Clash, i Benefit Doll and Toy Fund Result of Game May Decide Chances of Catholic Championship What promises to be one of the greatest intersectional battles of the year takes place tomorrow afternoon in Loyola stadium, when Clark D. Shaugnessy's Wolves match strategy and deceptiveness against the power and speed of the Titans from Detroit. This annual classic between the two universities which u to be played for the benefit of the Times-Picayune Doll and Toy Fund marks a finale to the 1930 grid season. Titans One Up Detroit, by victories over the Pack in 1928 and '29, have an edge of two wins to the Pack's one, which lone marker was registered in the win column for the Maroon and Gold back in 1926 by Bucky Moore and his cohorts. The Wolves will have a great incentive to win tomorrow's tilt and even up the count in games won. Tomorrow's battle it has been rumored hinges on Loyola's chances for the Catholic championship of the country. Detroit is completely out of the picture as a result of their loss to Fordham to the tune of 13-7, a game in which the Titans outplayed Fordham for three quarters only to be nosed out in the final period. Since Fordham has been defeated by St. Mary's great team from California it is evident that if the Wolves are victorious tomorrow and St. Mary's declines to play the Maroon Cyclone in a post-season game Loyola can then lay her claim to the championship. The Pack's victories over Catholic colleges has not been marred so far this year. With wins over Loyola of Chicago, St. Xavier, St. Louis, Butler, Daniel Baker, La. Tech and La. Normal the Pack has performed PHARMACY GRADUATE DIES AT THIBODAUX Word has been received from Dr. Albert J. Meyer, Thibodaux, La., that his son, T.

Dr. Meyer asks that the students remember him in their prayers. Emmett attended Spring Hill College and then came to Loyola.

MOOT COURT CLAIMS INTEREST OF LAWYERS Courtroom Packed During Trial As Students Learn Court Procedure The first moot court of the year was held on Sunday, November 23, at 9:30 a. m. in the Civil District Court, division E, by students of the law department under the personal supervision of Judge Byrnes. The court was ably presided over by Hugh Wilkinson, a prominent criminal lawyer, and exact court procedure was enacted throughout the trial. The case of Johnson vs. Rogers which entailed a suit in tort for damages arising from an automobile accident at the intersection of Third and Prytania streets, was well presented by Claude Veglia and Clifton Dolese who argued the case for the plaintiff and by Bernard Dempsey and Timothy Swoop, who represented the defendant.The witnesses of the accident were who faithfully abided by their pseudo oaths "to tell anything but the truth". The jury was chosen from the freshmen in the law class and the verdict rendered by them was in favor of the plaintiff, who was awarded $20,000 for damages received by the accident. Many students of the pre-legal clases took advantage of the opportunity to witness court procedure and the co'.irt loom was filled to capacity throughout the trial. PHARMACY FOOTBALL TEAM IS ACTIVE The members of the College of Pharmacy who are endeavoring to make the squad which is to represent that department in intramural football competition are busily engaged in practice. As yet, no one has been chosen for any definite position, and late arrivals are assured of a chance to display their ability. Most of the time has been spent in getting the "feel" of the pigskin and in testing out the capabilities of the candidates. When the men are chosen for the team, a strong and formidable array of talent is expected, some of the prospects being former stars on high school teams.
