Beggars, Inspired By Hoboes, to Contest At California U.
The long best despised beggar will hold sway at the University of California at Los Angeles for a time at least, according to the California Daily Brain

Ten "beggars" are to be chosen this evening at the conclusion of the sign up by drawing lots. Those students are to come to school in their ruggy apparel.

As a prologue to the U.D.S. performance, the ten student "beggars" will be presented to the audience. They will be accepted by popular applause.
Men with any kind of old clothes are offered the chance of a life time to be comfortable while on the campus No hammer neck ties or new suits will keep them from enjoying themselves.
WE'RE GOING HOBO
You've been wanting Hobo Day again haven't you? Well, you're going to gef it, plenty of it. The only difference between this Hobo Day and the ones in years past is that this one is going to be bigger and better. This year, we are going to celebrate Friday morning of Homecoming week-end, the biggest week-end of the school year!
The Men's Fan-Hellenic council, decided unanimously that the fraternities which it represents will all be in the proper dress and spirit the morning of the sixteenth, and furthermore that once more the fraternities will decorate their houses for Homecoming. There is no doubt that the lovely ladies of the University will also book as terrible as the men that morning. Bill Phipps has donated a band to play for the Hobo Convocation, which will be held in Robinson gymnasium. What a weekend that will be, with a perfect Hobo Day to start the ball rolling.
We want this to be the best Hobo Done of them; we must do it in a big way and in the right way. Some students in the past have labored under the illusion that Hobo Done is the day they should try to get away with as much as possible. That idea is foolish. It is a day for the students who want to be natural and have some real fun and the criterion is cleverness!
The day is not to be considered a half holiday, but a half-day Hobo Day with every student on the campus doing his part to help beat the Cornshukers.
Let's start planning right now for the biggest and best Hobo Day and when that hated eight-twenty whistle blows the morning of the sixteenth, let's see the college go Hobo and the poor old lawyers get dressed up!

Hobo Day in Old Days Meant Selling Old Clothes for 'Beer Bust' in City
THE HOBO REINSTATED
Ad Lindey has his squad in fine shape with all of the regulators expected to be in playing condition for the first time in several weeks. None of the Kansans was injured in the game at the start of the season and could play to play because of previous injuries.
Yesterdays' workout was extremely light. Coaches Lindsey and Getto drilled the team on Nebraska football technique with a skull session in the dressing room proceeding the practices. They were able to pass on passing kicking, and place-kicking.
Old times say that the tradition
Holo day had a different beginning
than the spirit in which the present
celebration is enacted.
Defense Stressed By Kansas Squad In Final Workouts
By Arnold Gilbert. e'36
Jayhawkers Are Heartened by 13 to 0 Victory Gained Saturday Over Bears
Defensive means to halt Nebraska's powerful offense were stressed in practice yesterday, as the Kansas squad started to work again after a two-day layoff. Heartened by 13-to-0 win over the strong Washington Beans Saturday, the Jayhawks showed plenty of enthusiasm and optimism as they began preparations for their Homecoming battle with the pennant-hurry Cornhuskers here the coming Saturday.
In the year 1884 when the University was in its infancy, a convention of old clothes buyers met at what is now known as the Adon's House, to establish a committee of students at the University, hearing of this convention, made a wholesale rush to the convention to dispose of their discarded underwear, and so forth, for the time of the annual "beer bunk" in the university, which involved money was seriously needed.
"The team will work in hard as ever this week," Lindsey added, "but it will be drills in which there is no chance for injuries. Fred Harris was kept out of the Washington game last week in the first half and missed his injury. We want all our men to be on the field ready for the Cornhuskers next Saturday."
Coach Lindsey said that he was trying to perfect the Hawkway pass defense against the two Nebrawaacs Cardwell and McDonald. "We not only fear their running attack," he said. "but we must also prepare for their opponent." The two McDonalds are tall, rang fellows who can really saggle passes."
Up at Lincoln, Dana Hole bled after his first string through a light practice also. The versity sat on the sidelines to watch the Nebraska "B" team run Kansas plays against the freshmen. The game was in with the Pittsburgh Panthers Saturday and may be handpeaced considerably for the Jayhawkers game by injuries. John Williams, versatile center, will probably be vered that he can get around only on crushes this week and is not likely to see much more action this season. Russ Thompson, tinkler, is bothered by a small injury and may keep him from the start line.
Business was so brisk that the convention decided to make Lawrence its convention headquarters every year. So every year until the coming of prohibition, the convention held away. However, with the coming of prohibitions, the business forced to disband and in a spirit of scow the students continued the traditional day until the present time Hobe day has evolved as a pep generator for football games.
Over 20,000 fans are expected for the Homecoming game at the present rate of ticket sale, it was announced today by the athletic office. A crowd of this size would be the largest the stadium has held in several years. Officials for the game have been selected and inquired about. In: T. Carrillers of Illinois, uniprise; and C. E. McBride of Missouri Valley, head lineman.
Passing Defense $ ^{r} $ Stressed
29,000 Fans Expected.
Old clothes, the older the better, plenty of paint, burnt cork, and the possession of a corn-cob pipe are the main essentials of makeup of a good "hobe." The addition of the red handkerchief, in which are carried all his worldly possessions, makes the hobo somewhat possessed but is not absolutely essential.
One of the main factors in making Hobo day the success that it usually is has been the attitude of the ragged traveler to persons who do not conform to the norms of their schooling; it is for students who try to get by with their Sunday clothes at this particular event. The boho deems it only fair to take away the finery and "swell" clothes of anyone who does not adopt the boho fashion, so that who thinks himself out of the hobo class is apt to lose his clothes and perhaps his dignity.
