Elks Club is Scene
of Block L’s Dance
Whoopee! Don't miss the big
Block “L" Club Dance after the
Big Game tomorrow. The jig is
to be given in honor of the St.
Ignatius Varsity and will be the
first big affair on the social calen¬
dar of Loyola. And it’s going to
be a big one, don't forget!
Go to the game tomorrow, whoop
is up for the team, and then bring
the girl friend around to the Elks
Club to enjoy the dance. Let her
feast her eyes on all those “big,
manly football players" and see
what they look like in their ordi¬
nary clothes. All the stars and
celebrities of both teams will be
there “strutting their stuff."
All arrangements are completed
and everything is all set to treat the
men of the Grey Fog in fitting man¬
ner. Two years ago when our
Varsity ambled up to the Bay City
to open relations with our northern
rivals they were shown the most
wonderful hospitality possible. When
the train arrived they were paraded
in cars from the station to the ho¬
tel and there taken care of in every
way by the St. Ignatius men.
The game the next afternoon was
one of the hardest fought in the his¬
tory of either institution. But
after the game, enmities of the field
were forgotten at the wonderful
dance and entertainment which the
Saints put on for our visiting Lions.
All in all, it was great treatment
and those who made the trip north
will not forget it in a hurry. Last
year, from a social standpoint, was
just as successful as the preceding
year.
This year the Grey Fog is roll¬
ing down upon the Lions' den and
will expect as good treatment at
our hands as we received at theirs.
Well, the Block “L" club is seeking
to repay that generous hospitality
in the most fitting manner. They
have secured the large Elks Club
for the scene where the plot is to be
laid, and are doing everything in
their power to insure it a gala eve¬
ning. To make things doubly cer¬
tain, Ed Gutkowsky's orchestra
will render the syncopation end of
things, and this, to the knowing
ones, is assurance in itself of a
good time.
So d on’t forget, men; be at the
Elks Club tomorrow night at eight-
thirty and help put the scud across.

Famous Brothers
Entertain for Loyola
Perry and Earl Askam, famous
actors and singers, graciously enter¬
tained the 500 guests at one of the
recent luncheons held at the Elite
Cafe during Loyola's “drive week."
Both these handsome young men
are portraying leading roles in the
popular operetta, “The Desert
Song," now playing at the Majestic
Theatre. Perry, the younger broth¬
er has made a tremendous hit in the
romantic part of “The Red Shad¬
ow," while Earl plays Sid El Kar,
the Red Shadow’s faithful lieuten¬
ant and leader of the Riffs.
Father Fox, former director of
dramatics at Santa Clara Univer¬
sity and developer of many cele¬
brated thespians, trained these boys
when they were very young and se¬
cured for them their first vocal
teacher, the late Prof. David Power.
It was through Father Fox’? invi¬
tation that the Askam brothers gen¬
erously left their arduous duties to
come at the noon hour to Loyola’s
luncheon, and to most kindly en¬
tertain the assembled guests with
their delightful singing.
Notwithstanding the unlimited
praise these fine young men have
received during the past year, they
still retain the sweet, simple naive
manner they had when they first en¬
tered the portals of our college as
small boys from the little town of
Mountain View. No wonder that
the western theatre-going public has
idolized them.
. The Faculty and Student-body of
Loyola sincerely thank Earl and
Perry Askam for assisting us. And
we take this occasion to congratu¬
late them and to wish them con- j
| tinued success.
We welcome the “Gray Fog," our
brother institution of San Fran¬
cisco, and trust that the sojourn in
Los Angeles may be a pleasurable
one.
Anticipation of the grid battle is
keen, the field is cleared, all is set
for the third clash between St. Ig¬
natius and Loyola, which will no
doubt be one of the most colorful
games of the season.
The Lion squad is out for vindi¬
cation of the humiliating defeat re¬
ceived last year.
For a keen, hard fought game, be
at the Loyola Field, 2:30 tomorrow.
Renowned Persons
Back New Loyola
Loyola University today is richer
by $1,500,000 as a result of the civic
campaign to raise funds for the con¬
struction of the seventen buildings
on the 100-acre campus site.
Final returns from the team or¬
ganization reported at the meeting,
Wednesday noon at the Elite Cafe,
633 South Flower street, showed a
total in cash and pledges of $550,-
000.
To this amount the memorial
committee, headed by Joseph Scott,
attorney and orator, the property
owners’ syndicate and the central
committee, as well as the commit¬
tees in cities and towns throughout
the county, added an additional
$1,000,000.
The special committees have
made up their amount in pledges of
buildings and wings, two of which
include pledges of $300,000 each.
Furthermore they announce that
they are conducting negotiations
with several individuals who have
expressed a willingness at some
early date to subscribe funds which
will provide for the construction of j
individual buildings and entire col¬
leges.
Judge Louis W. Myers, former
chief justice of the supreme court
of California, presided as general
chairman in the campaign with
James Woods, vice-president of the
Biltmore hotel association; Harry
Chandler, publisher; Ben R. Myer,
banker, and other outstanding citi¬
zens serving as executives of the
Central committee.
While preparations for the civic
campaign began some weeks ago,
the intensive drive opened on Octo¬
ber 8 and continued until Wednes¬
day, October 17.
Preparations are now being made
by Father Joseph Sullivan, S.J.,
president of Loyola; Chandler,
Judge Myers and others to make a
complete statement showing the
benefactors of Loyola.
GRAY FOG STUDENTS
ELECTED TO ASSEMBLY
Two recent graduates of St.
Ignatius, /and more recent grads of
the Ignatian school of law, have
just been elected to represent their
districts in the San Francisco city
assembly. They are Melvyn Cro¬
nin and. Ray Williamson.
Disperse the Fog
A new policy will be inaugu¬
rated this coming Monday when
the staff of the Loyola holds the
first of its constructive meetings
dealing with the style of the pre¬
cious issue. This will be held in the
law library at noon time. The pos¬
sibilities of such a policy are appar¬
ent. The elimination of flaws, ad¬
vancement of news style and the
inception of newer and more .pro¬
gressive ideas are but a few of the
benefits to be derived. The staff
anticipate a paper of superior work¬
manship.
Heiress Gives Loyola
Large Donation
At the dinner which was held at
the Elite Cafe on the evening of
October 4 and marked the inaugura¬
tion of the Loyolan Drive, one of
the outstanding features was the
spontaneous donation of $10,000 by
Mrs. Lillian Mallrup of this city.
Other speakers at this civic dinner
were perhaps more eloquent, but
none held the attention of the 600
present more than this gracious
lady. The unexpected donation
and the manner of its announce¬
ment created the sensation of the
dinner.
“There is in France," said Mrs.
Mallrup, “a university to which
Jesuits go to study and prepare
themselves for the most wonderful
of all works — the education of
youth; and to this university, many
years ago, came a young man who
in time graduated and set forth in
life, not as a teacher, but as a lay¬
man. He had but one sister, who
was married and blessed with a
family of four children, the young¬
est being a girl, to whom this uncle
became sponsor.
He was possessed, however, with
that feeling commonly known as
the “wanderlust”; and the entire
family came to America. The girl
at the age of three years lost her
mother, and the uncle, his dearly
beloved sister. That grief again
started the roaming spirit in the
young man. He drifted to the
Klondyke gold fields and was richly
rewarded. He was in the first lines
of the Colorado gold rush. Again
fortune smiled on him. Then he
came to “The Golden West,’’ to our
beautiful California. Here he was
once more fortunate; for the third
time wealth smiled upon him.
But during this time, too, he be¬
came eccentric in his ideas. To him
there was but one place on earth,
and that was his beloved California.
His niece and god-child had inher¬
ited some of the spirit of her uncle,
for at the age of eleven she ran
away from her happy home and
joined a circus. Many times in the
years that followed, her uncle
pleaded with her to give up her
theatrical profession, but - pleading
Was useless.
A few years ago this uncle
passed away, and bequeathed his
entire fortune to his beloved niece,
with but one stipulation in his will
-т
that she must live in
California five years before the for-

AVENGE OLD
Saints Will be Crushed
—Or the Reason Why
Swamp St. Ignatius! This is the
cry now invading the campus and
making fighting maniacs out of
otherwise normal college youths
who are now learning the elusive
science of football under the able
tutelage of Coach Mike Pecarovich.
Those who were here last year and
remember the ignominous defeat
handed out to our Larrupin' Lions
are still smarting at the memory of
it and are preparing themselves to
do or die in order to reverse the
tables on the Grey Fog at this meet¬
ing.
Although the Saints and Lions
have met but twice upon the grid¬
iron, each time they have made of
it a mortal combat in which the
players would sooner be packed out
on a door than let their opponents
gain an inch. The first meeting of
the two institutions found them
fighting tooth and nail in all the
mud and slop of old Ewing field to
battle to a six all tie that merely
whetted the appetites of the athletes
for further gore.. Let's not say too
much about the horrible walloping
we received last year after having
gone through a fairly successful
season.
But, anyway, let's get down to
present facts and realize that the

First Block L Club
Meeting Held
The first regular meeting of the
Block L Club for this year was held
last Monday. President “Whitey"
Hoffman called the meeting to
order.
A motion for a dance given in
honor of the St. Ignatius football
team was made and quickly sec¬
onded. All members of the L Club
promised to lend their whole¬
hearted co-operation.
Given the support of the entire
student body, the dance will be a
social success as well as a financial
Success.
The next important business of
the meeting was to elect a vice-
president. This office was made
vacant by Sam Dagley’s announce¬
ment that he could not take an
active part in the club, due to his
teaching duties in the high school.
Bernie Donahue was duly nomi¬
nated attd . unanimously acquired,
the vice-presidency position without
any opposition.
After several minor propositions]
were discussed the meeting was]
closed. It was perhaps the best
conducted and most smoothly run
off meeting the Block L Club has
ever held.
