Mor victory. The Southern Californians' supporters were given their first thrill In the first quarter. The Trojans had accepted a punt on their own 45-yard line. Duffield failed to gain, but on the next play he sent a 25-yard pass to Apsit, who caught the ball.

Notre Dame took the lead in the third quarter. Carideo kicked from midfield to the Trojan five-yard line. 1 up where Uansa quit, and matched the star back's scoring feats with two touchdowns of his own. Jimmy Clark, subbine for Tom Parkinson at fullback, also tallied twice, but only one of them counted, a holding penalty nullifying the other. Carnegie fought back all the way.

Elder made it first down with an end run, and the ball was on the Trojans one-yard line. Joe Savoldi went over in two line bucks. Carideo sent a perfect place kick through the bars for the extra and what Droved to be the winning point.

Just One Point Shy. A minute later the Southern Californians scored again, when Russell Saunders, boosted as All-America material, took the ball on his own five-yard line on the kick-off and ran 95 yards for a touchdown. The run enabled the 120,000 persons who saw the game to realize the ambition of a lifetime tc see a touchdown from kick-off. tions, there really isn't 20 points between the. two clubs.

Dr. Sutherland had his boys keyed up for possibly the first time this season. They got the upper hand right at the start. Carnegie staggered through the first half like a punch-drunk fighter, and only in the final period could the Tartans gain their bearings sufficiently to show their offensive hand. Panther Gets Breaks.

As was the case In the Ohio State game, again all the first-half breaks seemed to head Pitt's way. Fumbles, muffed forward passes, all the other peculiar twists of Dame Fortune seemed to perch on the golden-jer-seyed standards. Only once was Carnegie favored by fate, and that led to her first touchdown. It was By The United Press. EVANSTON, m.

A swivel-hipped fullback named George Ross today slashed, twisted and dodged through a startled Northwestern football team and brought Indiana a well-earned fourth period victory over Northwesern, 19 to 14. Ross scored from the 12-yard line in the middle of the final period. Then he took the ball on his own 11 -yard line. A dart and a twist, and he broke through the first line. Bergherm lunged at him and missed.

Six Northwestern men gave chase. Lee Hawley caught him 20 yards from the goal. But he failed to bring him down.

The fact that Pitt's second-stringers were in at the time had little to do with this touchdown. It was a prettily" executed effort and represented a real earned touchdown. Tech Never Quit.
