For some roaaon, posalbly, duo to the abanco or Capt. Dean from the llno-up in the first half, the real Trojnn attack did not develop until early in the second half. Then there was another reason, the same bolnff that bull-like Oregon line.

They will eventually rank among the best hay-shovellers In the but.1-ness, and if they follow the plow through the stubborn globe like they do the ball, the entire West will bo un'Jer cultivation within the next four years, all the landscape will be a truck patch and the early rose potato will no longer, to permitted to blush unseen. RAH FOR EVANS. But strong and Goliathan as were these grangers, Swede Evans was stronger. For, bo it known, Jlr.

Eans found a fissuro in this Oregon stono wall, cracked his way through and blocked an Aggie punt, Greeno falling on the ball. Thus the pigskin passed into Trojan hands in Oregon territory, and the U.S.C. backs, aided by Dolley, did the rest. On the final lunge Dean and Dolley went through tho ino together for the remaining two yards, ith Dolley carrying the ball. It was a play that had everybody buffaloed, and Just how Dolley got hold of the big pill is not entirely clear.

This deciding turn camo within the first threo minutes of tho second half, or immediately after the debut of Capt. Dean, the Trojans seeming to derive fresh and sudden prowess with his appearance on the field. Dpan started the victorious sweep when ho caught the Oregon kick-off, and dashed back 30 yards. There was a U.S.C. punt, an attempted Oregon punt, tho rich mellow sound of the ball striking Evans in tho fctomach, a sharp scuffle as a dozon men leaped for the vagrant ball with a Cardinal and Gold athlete making tho best spring, a few sharp, inclaivo drives around the flanks, the sound of some Maw smashes at tha Ore gon line, and the Trojans had trlumphod by tho narrow but perfectly clear margin of one touchdown.

EVanu. as usual, kicked tho conventional goal. ANOTHER THRILL. Later, Evans gave the crowd another 52 thrill, and almost achieved additional renown. Trying a place-kick from thu 44-IIno, he missed by inches, or it may have been the-fractional part of one Inch.

Anyway, the spheroid carried those 41 yards straight and true, struck tho cross bar, hesitated and dropped back. An ounce more of power in the trained too of Mr. Evans and it "would have gone oer. Had Mr Evans taken one more mouthful of turkey for Thanksgiving, or Inhaled just one more olive, the ball probabh would have carried that extra inch or two. Both elevens were somewhat below their normal strength.

Dean being out the first half, and hardly strong enough" to show his beat and sustained form when he went in. Oregon was without the service of Fullback Powell, who was navigating the side lines on crutches, which made It necessary to shift Quarterback Karberger to full and placo McKfnna at quarter. Incidentally, this McKenna is as slippery as an eel, and ns tough as a cord racing tire, whereas tCarberger and Miller were strong as plow horses and stubborn as muies. Slim Leadingham was Just as slim as before Thanksgiving and as hard to catch as a shadow. to make COLLEGE STARS HONORED.

other by licalln, Washington State The team that was conceded by experts at tho start of the season to be California's biggest rival for Coast honors loBt because It fum-bled four times and had three kicks blocked. The story of the game deals chiefly with those four fumbles, three of which were recovered by U.S.C, and the three blocked punts, all of which Cardinal and Gold warriors wrapped their frames around. Tho only score the game came In the third period, and came at a time when U.S.C. had failed to mako a llrst down from scrimmage. BOOTING DUEL.

Tho game was a punting duel throughout the llrst tgvo periods. Leadlngham booted at every opportunity, U.S.C. seldom stopping 10 run with trte bait. The Atitjie-i, on the other hand, wore themselves 'out trying to push over the Trojan line. Thoy wore successful to tho extent of making flve first downs in the llrst half, but It didn't get them anywhere in particular, and It was a wearing process on tho men.

Soon after the third quarter opened Leadlngham unloaded a tall flfty-nve-yard spiral which Hughie McKi-nna, the twisting, squirming, dodging mite who played quarter for the Aggies, snagged on tho Aggie nineteen-yard lino. Miller and--McKnna had been punting for tho gglos, and it was Hughlo's turn. He fell back to the ten-yard line. The pass came straight and true, and McKonn.i's too met tho pigskin squarely. But the bulky form of Swede Evans hurtled in tho path of the leather beforo it had risen three feet, and a Cardinal and Gold Jersey clad athlete named Paul Greeno had scooped it up before ou could say Jack Robinson.

To tho Aggie 5-yard lino he dragged an Aggie tackier beforo the lat-tetr pulled him down. A TOUCHDO'vTN.

Scoro -7 to 0, where It stayed to the bitter end. The Aggies had their chance shortly after the ensuing kickoff. Leadlngham punted straight up in the air from tho U.S.C.

Two passes netted nothing at all and Greene threw Miller for a 5-yard loss on an end run. I McKenna punted and It was U.S.C.'h ball on the 16-yard line. Loadlngham punted and then the Aggies Parted a barrago of passing that made their supporters see visions of a touchdown A long heave from Kasberger to McFadden netted 30 yards and a second ono to Rlchert brought 12 more.

Tho Aggies reached tho U.S Q. 3-2-yard line 'hereby, but Leadlngham Intercepted the next pass. Henderson mailed Phil Tiernan Into the fray, vice Dolley, and Loadlngham moved up to quarterback. The Trojans got buBy and made their first downs of the day.

Tiernan dashed 15 around the Aggie right end for another first down, but the Trojans were stopped on the O.A.C. 35-yard lino. Swede Evans dropped back to try a placo kick from the 44-ard lino, and almost made It. The ball hit tho cross ba, and bounced under.

O.A.C. kicked and U.S.C. started a march down the Held, which wa-, naited by tho whistle on the akcIc 20-yard line. In cuntlnc there was little dif ferent between Leadlngham and the Aggie kickers, but Leadlngham and Dolley excelled in running back punts, gaining 54 yaris to the Aggies 23.

Tho eleven men selected by The Times stood out during the entire season as great players and tho above teams wero picked without hesitation as the most finished athletes the Southern California Conference. Little Walt who has tacked down a place on this honorary team for the two preceding seasons, deserves the left end Job through his wonderful ability to follow the ball, and his sure tackling.

Long has been the sensation of the Occidental line this year. Denebrink ot Pomona Is tho fastest tackle In the Conference. getting down the field on punts Denebrink was always on the Job and usually had a hand In the tackle. His work In tho line, both offenslvo and defensive, was abovo roproach. Jean Cory of All-Southorn selection last fall, won his place on the All-Conference again this season by his ability to do the stone-wall stunt.

Cory also did the major portion of the booting for Occidental and acted In tho capacity or field captain for part tho season. Madden, Whlttier's burly center, was conspicuous for his defensive work on forward passes. He was equally adpt at tearing through opposing line, and snapped the ball to the backs without an error. Performing as the Sagehen's guard, Baker proved conclusively that he Is one of the best linemen In the Conference. Throughout tho season he was ono of Pomona's aces, no matter who he was called upon the buck against.

Buckmaster. staging a comeback to the game after several years' absence niled up a hole in Whlttier's lino with such fight and atubbornnets that his selection for the All-Conference is a matter of course. For right end there could be no other choico than Johns, whose hard tackling and speed helped the Qual.ers to win tho Conference title. erne. CI GAR EXT A.
