A Tough
Game
The important issue of the day is
the drive for funds with which to
construct Loyola University of Del
Rey. Important, because the suc¬
cess of this project Is to form the
future limits of the institution.
If every student gives in time
and money that which he is able,
the patrons of Loyola and the citi¬
zens of Southern California will
reciprocate. “If the students at
Loyola want a University at Del
Rey we will build it for them” is
the sentiment that has been voiced
by many 4of the leaders in the
Greater Loyola Movement.
Today student enthusiasm, ener¬
gy and action will build the Loyola
that every student wants. The peo¬
ple we all know and with whom
we associate daily will be glad to
assist in the building of Loyola.
Now is the time to act, solicit
the aid that can be easily had for
this work. Do this and after the
campaign is over, the little which
you do will stand as a real tribute
to the STUDENT ENDEAVOR.
Coach Pecarovich pleads with his
squad for fight, .for spirit, for con¬
centration. He is getting that from
the squad in a greater degree than
the squad is receiving from the stu¬
dent body. Last Saturday ushered
in the biggest football season of
our history.
In the same afternoon the squad
defeated two comparatively husky
fo£s by goodly margins. This
under the handicap of new system
of play, new men, and a short period
of training.
The games that follow will test
the Lion strength to the utmost.
Strong, heavy, experienced clubs
without exception will form the op¬
position for the remainder of the
season. It is high time to polish
“football’- eyes and summon friends
to the Loyola Stadium.
Faculty Building
Well Under Way
The old saying, “it won’t be long
now,” is once more on the lips of
all the followers of the Lion; and
it’s true, it won’t be long now. To
put it clearly, Loyola is up in the
air.
The sea laden zephyrs that steal
up from Playa
Оё1
Rey are . even
more surprised, when they reach
the metropolis of University City
and behold the recent progress,
than was the late Mr. Balboa when
he stood at some such point and
first saw the Pacific.
The cause of this surprise is
none other than the raising of the
new Loyola buildings.. To some it
may be as big a surprise as it is to
the zephyrs but those who have
followed closely the recent activi¬
ties it is just a matter of a. few^
months before the entire student
body will be “at home” in Playa
Del Rey.
The Faculty building, which will
be the first unit to be completed, is
at this time in the advanced stages
of construction.
SITE OF BIG
PEP RALLY
Boxing Matches and
Speeches Thrill Guests
With several thousand backers
and students of Loyola College
gathered in the Campus Stadium on
last Friday night, September 28,
the gigantic campaign to raise
'$4,000,000 for the construction of
the new Loyola University at
Playa del Rey was officially
launched. The primary purpose of
the huge rally was to arouse en¬
thusiasm in the student body for
their drive to raise funds to erect
a building which the students of
1928-29 have pledged themselves.
This campus drive started last
Monday.
Two interesting and peppy talks
by prominent gentlemen connected
with Loyola and a fine program of
entertainment was presented. The
feature, of entertainment was a
three-round boxing exhibition by
Fidel LaBarba, former world fly¬
weight champion and present con-

Higgins Displays
Yell King Style
The initial yell drill of the sea¬
son disclosed some very startling
facts. The graduation of Garbo
Guthrie left a hole in the line of
rooting activities that at first sight
seemed impossible to plug. But
when the news spread about the
campus that “Chick” Higgins had
been appointed head yell leader, the
doubting Thomases winked in sat¬
isfaction, severely censuring them¬
selves, however, for having at first
overlooked that possibility. Time
has passed since the announcement
and now that wink has broadened
into a wreath of smiles, for as the
rooters go through their tricks
under the expressive gesticulations
of “Chick” Higgins^, with Villar
playing: the accompainment, they
realize that this same “Chick” Hig¬
gins not only fills, the bill, but fits
right snuggly into the vacant shoes
of Garbo Guthrie.
LETTERMAN PASSES
Passes Retroactive
At the regular meeting of the
Board of Athletic Control, it
was decided that all three year
lettermen, who have graduated
from either Loyola College or
St. Vincent’s College will be
given a ticket for each game
played at Loyola, provided he
applies in person, previous to the
game in question, at the Gradu¬
ate Manager’s Office.

Faculty Building of new $5,000,000 Loyola University which is now
being constructed on a 100-acre campus site in the Del Rey Hills. Con¬
struction of other buildings will follow) soon.
Students to
Gym Fund
Raise! Annual Staff To
Begin Work
Eager to set an example for the
Southland in giving to a civic pro¬
ject, the students of Loyola Col¬
lege have perfected plans for a
student campaign now ^ under way.
and October 8 to raise a fund for
the construction of a gymnasium
as one of the seventeen buildings
of the new Loyola University,
which is to be constructed at a
cost of $5,000,000 on a 100 acre
campus site on the Del Rey Hills.
Student activity began in a gen-
eralassembTy, held last Friday at
which time Joseph Scott, attorney
and civic leader, Father Joseph A.
Sullivan, S.J., president, and mem¬
bers of the student body, delivered
addresses urging support for the
new Southern Californian univer¬
sity, which will provide educational
opportunities for 5,000 students.
Growing out of the assembly
meeting the student campaign or¬
ganization, headed by triumvirate
composed of Luddy Bremner, of
the law school, Jay Montgomery
of the day college, and Arthur
Hauser of the preparatory group,
was perfected to carry the appeal
of the new Loyola to every student
in the intsitution. _
Simultaneously with the organi¬
zation of the student campaign,
civic leaders headed by Judge Louis
W. Myers, former chief justice of
the Supreme Court of California,
the general chairman, have or¬
ganized nearly a 1000 civic leaders
and professional and business men
to carry the appeal to every friend
of youth and education in . Southern
California, from October 8th to
17th. Between these dates it is
the purpose of the. civic leaders rep¬
resenting all creeds and interests
to raise a fund of $4,000,000 for
the construction of the seventeen
buildings of the new University.
Activities of the civic committee
will formerly open at a dinner to
be held on the night of October 4
in the Elite Cafe, 633 South Flower
Street, Los Angeles. Distinguished
orators, motion picture celebrities,
western educators, and musical ar¬
tists, as well as nearly 100 mem¬
bers of the team organization, will
participate in the Evening’s pro¬
gram.
Interest in the student campaign
reached a fever heat last Friday
night in the bonfire rally and meet¬
ing attended by thousands of per¬
sons, on the football field. The
gathering which attracted friends
of the college from; all parts of
southern California is regarded as

Within the next eight or ten days
the staff of the 1928-1928 El Padre
will have become a reality. The
first staff meeting is scheduled to
be called to order, with capable Jim
Barry assuming the editorial reins
and Mr. Hanlon, S.J., moderator
and L. Callahan, Business Mana¬
ger. At this time the peculiar ca¬
pabilities of all aspirants for posi¬
tions on the staff will -be reviewed
in order to place them where they
can best serve the interests of the
new" university through the leaves
of a record annual.
Mr. Hanlon, S.J., has wide ex¬
perience along busines lines. His
presence will greatly bolster up the
staff. The pleasing announcement
that every student pays for an El
Padre at the opening of school lifts
a mighty burden from the should¬
ers of the business manager as
time formerly devoted to this
matter can be greatfully transferred
to other problems. A banner year
beckons and only workers and
organisation await the setting in of
serious work.
Picture Industry
Favors Del Rey
New Loyola University gives
promise of becoming the world’s
best known university.
This prediction is made by mem¬
bers of the Hollywood Motion Pic¬
ture Colony, who cite that sixty
per cent of the motion picture
studios are situated . : within five
miles of the new- Loyola campus.
Tire Spanish Colonial type of
architecture of the new buildings,
it is stated, will render itself advan¬
tageously as a setting for every col¬
legiate story photographed for the
movies.

CLAWED BY
Star Back Field Shines
with New System
The Lions officially opened up
their season by drubbing Fullerton
Junior College 26 to 0.
The first quarter was more or
less an even Stephen affair, the
Lions had the little the best of this
period. When their stage fright
had worn off in the second quarter
the Mikes opened up a bit and
plunged the oval deep into Fuller¬
ton territory. The Jaysee’s stiffened
and checked the Lion’s march on
their own 20 yard line. Fullerton’s
kick was blocked by Ted Sargent,
the ball going to the Lions on the
18 yard line. Two smashes carried
the ball within scoring distance.
Eaton then slid over tackle for the
first score.
The second period was rapidly
drawing to a close, when the Fiery
Slav, Evo Pusich, intercepted a
Fullerton pass and sprinted 80
yards to a touchdown. The extra
point was chalked up as the gun
ended the half.
After a collar scorching talk
from Mike the boys came out for
the second half rarin’ to go. The

New Woodshop
for Loyola Univ.
Furniture for New
School Made Here
Furniture for the new Loyola
Del Rey is to be made in Loyola’s
present woodshop. The shop was
under construction during the past
month and is now producing. It
is located just east of the Faculty
Building. The three craftsmen of
the shop; Messrs. Robinson, Ser¬
rano and Brother Desjardino have
already shown their ability by
turning out two fine pieces of fur¬
niture. ' This plan is estimated to
save about forty percent of the
cost of production.
The ‘carpenters will have furni¬
ture for the Arts building and the
Father’s building by February 1st.
They have thirteen different ma¬
chines to work with and eat and
sleep at the College to hurry the
work. This furniture includes 'the
Fathers desks and chairs, the stu¬
dents chairs and 35 bed-room
suites. It will cost about $5,500
and at this rate be saving the
School alnjost $4,000.
The furniture will be made of
red gum-wood and according to
modern styles. Students chairs wilt
be used in place of the old style
desks. The bed-room suites will
consist of '.six. pieces.;, a bed, chiffo-
ner, type-writing table, chair and
clothes rack.
