quest. A ten to one decision for the
negative was rendered by the house.
Mr. Paul Anthony Tschirgi of the
Freshman Class was next initiated,
and addressed a few words to the
members by request of the President.
Mr. Lynch of Fourth High was ini¬
tiated and enlightened the members
considerably upon the benefits derived
from the society. His somewhat pro¬
longed speech was loudly applauded
by the house. Mr. Babbitt proposed
Mr. Rogers for election to member¬
ship, and he was unanimously ac¬
cepted. The Moderator made a few
remarks criticising the speakers, en¬
couraging discussion by the house and
congratulating the members upon
their success thus far. The society
then adjourned to January 7, when
the question of prohibiting automobile
racing will be discussed.
HOLLYWOOD NEWS
Things are humming anew in Holly¬
wood since Fr. Stack took charge. He
was very rglad to welcome a number
of his former pupils and friends at the
social last Tuesday. The firm of
Higgins - Babbitt - Falder - Rogers was
very much in evidence. Babbitt
and Rogers represented the firm in
the dancing line, while Leo posed as
a football hero to the young ladies.
Tom appeared in his father’s derby,
but the boys treated it so roughly he is
wondering how to raise the price of a
new one. Curly Greene and Jimmie
Donovan later took stock in the firm,
and the board of directors retired to
parts unknown to hold a very impor¬
tant meeting. Bud Ryan was thbre in
all his glory, and is quite popular with
the younger set, although the other
boys are after him.
Sleepy and Paul Cote were there
with their respective sisters, very
much on the job. The three Costellos
put in an appearance after law with
their sisters also. Lt. Hodgkiss, so
prominent in military circles, with his
usual grace dragged his feet around
the floor with Miss Albert.

HONOR STUDENTS FOR
NOVEMBER
Last Friday evening the members of
the Senior Debating Society gathered
to discuss a question which, if not al¬
ready so, is fast becoming a matter of
great moment to the nation at large.
The question was: “Resolved, That
the anti-alien law as voted in the last
election is a sufficient safeguard to
California against the Japanese men¬
ace.”
Mr. Griffith of the affirmative
startled the gentlemen by his elo¬
quence; or, rather, by the brevity of
it. His speech is the shortest on rec¬
ord and must have taken considerable
preparation. He was followed by Mr.
McGovern for the negative, who had a
very convincing array of arguments
and presented them in a masterly fash¬
ion. This gentleman informed the
members that at the present rate of
. increase California would have a Japa¬
nese executive in 1950. Mr. Hosinski
spoke next, clearly asserting and de¬
fending the position of the affirmative.
Mr. Leaver, as he rose, gave one the
impression of a man who expected to
clinch the argument. His statements
showed careful research and consid¬
eration of the matter in hand. The
general case of the affirmative was
brought to a conclusion by Mr. Kun-
ney, who, although he appeared overly
aware of the fact that it was his first
appearance, presented strong argu¬
ments for his side. He made a slip
when he said that California had done
its best, and now Congress should act.
The negative were considerably ham¬
pered by the unavoidable absence of
Mr. Keily. Mr. McGovern, however,
gave an able rebuttal, taking his oppo¬
nents to task for many of their state¬
ments.
The question was thrown open for
discussion by the house, and several
members were called upoh to express
their views, which they did in no un¬
certain terms. Mr. Griffin gave the re¬
buttal for the affirmative, in which he
was greatly aided by the clear exposi¬
tion of Mr. Leaver’s statements, given
by that gentleman himself upon re¬

EIGHTEEN WIN BLOCKS
LAST STUDENT BODY MEETING
OF SEMESTER IS HELD —
LETTERS AWARDED
The last Student Body meeting for
the year 1920 was called to order by
the Moderator. After recalling some
of the incidents that marked the past
football season, and praising those
who had dpne their best to make the
team a success, he showed that if it
had not been for certain injuries sus¬
tained by many of our mainstays,
the team would have made a
better showing. In conclusion, he
stated that he hoped that the number
of candidates for next year’s eleven
would be increased as much as possi¬
ble, at the same time pointing out the
fact that a successful football machine
cannot be developed with only a small
amount of material. He also stated
that from the way things were turning
out, next spring’s baseball season
would be one of which Loyola might
justly be proud.
The- Moderator then proceeded^ to
award the block letters to the mem¬
bers of the first team. This turned
out to be a hard task, for as each
blushing young man stepped up to re¬
ceive his L he was greeted with all
the applause worthy of a conquering
hero, and calls for speeches rent the-
air as each warrior ot the gridiron re¬
ceived his emblem.
The following is a list of those re¬
ceiving the blocks: Captain J. Wood,
J. Simpkins, P. Tschirgi, K. Malone, J.
Bradstreet, A. Saunders, N. Crowley,
E. Fitzsimmons, H. Messenie, J. North,
J. Scarlett, D. Starr, J. Cauley, J. Fur¬
long, J. Donovan, O. Miller, A. Town¬
send and B. Deasey.
The same enthusiasm was displayed?
while the members of the Lightweights
were being awarded their script- let¬
ters. Those Lightweights receiving
letters were : Captain J. Girard, An
Miller, J, Rank, T. Griffin, T. Rafferty,.
C. McKee, F. Girard, G. Picou, J. Gor¬
man, W. Meyer, V. Schilling, W. Tun-
ney, J. Hiskey, P. Hoeffer and R. Cor¬
bett.
