C., met behind closed doors here last night and patched up the break between the two northern institutions and the southern school. Immediate resumption of athletic competition was decided upon. Stanford and So. Calif. will likely meet in track this spring and may meet on the football gridiron this fall. Calif. and So. Calif. schedules already arranged preclude the two institutions meeting in 1925 but the following year competition in all branches of sport will be arranged. Faculty control of scholastic requirements and eligibility rules at all three institutions was emphasized at the close of the "pipe o' peace" meeting. It said the disposition of the so-called Martin case by dropping of the students aid in paying the way to resumption of athletic relations. H. J. Stoner represented U. S. C.; Dean Joel H. Hildebrand, U. C., and Edward A. Cottrell, Sanford, in the final negotiations.

PEACE RESTORED LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13.—With peace restored in California University sport circles, negotiations were started today to arrange a football game next fall between the U. of S. C. and Stanford. The probable date of the game was set as Nov. 14, with the contest to be played in the Los Angeles coliseum. The 1925 schedule of the U. S. C. team has been completed, with Montana being booked for the Nov. 14 date, but it was believed that a change can be made which will enable the Cardinals to come here then.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY Five Big Time Comedy Acts LADIES' BARGAIN MATINEE FRIDAY LADIES—15 CENTS VAUDEV INCLUDING "Orpheus Comedy" A GUARANTEED GROUCH MUSIC AT NIGHT BY CALIFORNIA ORCHESTRA BENNY LEONARD MAY FIGHT AGAIN NEW YORK, Feb. 19.—Benny Leonard has not fought his last fight, regardless of his signed statement to that effect, a statement in which pathos and mother love ran along on a high octave. This declaration was made today. SANTA FE SANTA FE LEASE, Feb. 19.—Mr. and Mrs. Bert Ryan had as guest Thursday, her daughter Mrs. Leith Ford of Compton and niece Lila Nelson and nephew Elsworth Nelson of Long Beach. Mr. and Mrs. Bruner had as guest over the week end, Mr. TWO DAYS 'VOICE AT CALIFO Tomorrow in the open the new two-day vauderville at the California theatre management has booked out snow for this week, on entire comedy bill "Orpheus Comedy Four" headline act. BENNY LEONARD MAY FIGHT AGAIN NEW YORK, Feb. 19.—Benny Leonard has not fought his last fight, regardless of his signed statement to that effect, a statement in which pathos and mother love ran along on a high octave. This declaration was made today by close friends who split no infinitives in declaring the retiring young man would be seen in a local ring next summer for one last shot at the big, important money. The occasion, they said, would bring Leonard and Mickey Walker together in their long deferred battle for the welterweight title and that Benjamin would be recompensed thereby to the matter of $200,000. Parental objection to the sordid engagement, it is said, will be overcome by the size of the reward, altho it is believed generally that teh Leonard fortunes are not in immediate need of repair. Still, according to Benny's friends, he is not the rich man that popular fancy would have him. It is intimated that the Wall Street sharp-shooters have scored several bull-eyes and that Benjamin's roll has afforded an excellent target. Benny was entirely sincere when he retired from the lightweight title," one of his local intimates declared. "He knows he cannot make the weight and be strong. He knows also that his mother seriously objects to him continuing in the fighting game indefinitely. But she can be won over. Benny has had to do for other fights and he can do it again. There is entirely too much money for him in a Walker match to be left lying around idle." Which is not without a modicum of truth. If Leonard can get $200,000 for his end, and there is plenty of loose money which says he can, it would smack of fistic heresy for him to refuse. For less than an hour's activity in the ring, he can thus make more money than in a year and a half on the vaudeville stage, provided theatrical audiences continued to evince sufficient interest in his act. It Leonard remains out of the ring long enough, he will become merely a bright young man trying to get along, of which vaudeville has all too many. That $2000 a week thing will not go on forever, unless Benny is as good an actor as he is a fighter, which is a point that is open to reasonable doubt. WALKER GOES HOME LOS ANGELES, Feb. 19.—Mickey Walker, welterweight champion, has cancelled tentative two days' vacation at Californië. Tomorrow is the opening new two-day vaudeville at the California theatre management has booked out snow for this week; an entire comedy bill "Orpheus Comedy Four" headline act.

Stahl for is new picture, indicates that in the director's or author's mind here is frequently a marked distinction between romance as interferred by a married man and as afferied by one who is "foot loose and fancy free." According to the critics who have had an advance view of the future, it is a comedy-drama maspiece that no one who loves entertainment can afford to miss. While it is entirely different in story, its subtleness, clever situations and wholesome humor are reminiscent of Stahl's last two successes, "Why Men Leave Home" and "The Dangerous Age." "Husbands and Lovers" will be seen for the final times tonight.

DELHI FARMERS FACE BANKRUPTCY TURLOCK, Feb. 19—Ways and means of securing relief for the ranchers and settlers of the Delhi state settlement, many of whom bought allotments thru alleged misrepresentation that the settlement was to receive state financial aid as provided in the land settlement act when, according to witnesses, the project was practically bankrupt, were being considered today by the legislative committee which investigated conditions in the colony. The committee concluded its investigation and hearings last night after taking testimony from scores of disheartened settlers who related the hardships they had gone through trying to convert raw sandy land to productivity. Several ranchers said they had been prosperous, middle-westerners before they were induced to invest all they had in Delhi land "that was hard to farm." Many of these ranchers are deeply in debt and face bankruptcy because of failure to secure promised state aid it was resisted. The legislators took pamphlets literature and letters used by the Delhi colony project to induce settlers, and this evidence will be gone over carefully at Sacramento. Capt. J.Winter Smith, present superintendent of the project, advised in every possible way to bring out all the facts concerning the plight of the Delhi farmers, many of whom are college graduates who formerly are propperous business men and farmer elsewhere. Misrepresentation and lack of funds were the basic causes for the sorry plight of the colonists, as determined by the legislative committee. The living standard of the Delhi farmers was also found to be very low due to their poverty and their inability to make "heavy blow sand and hilly topography produce."
