VS-m The lingering ache of the great wounds Southern California twice tore in the Pitt Panthers' hide in Rose Bowl softened under great gobs of revenge balm today as Pittsburgh crushed the Trojans 20 to 6 In a record making victory, before a crowd of 50,000. It was the first time the huge fellows from California, conquerors of the Panther 47 to 14 in the annual New Year's classic of 1930 and 35 to 0 in the 1933, ever penetrated east of Chicago. And with their ears still red from the taunts of the Trojan daily that they had lost their might as "toys of some henna-haired beauty" in Hollywood, they proceeded to lose their second game in two weeks, the first time that has happened since Howard Jones took over the head coaches Job in 1924.

The Panthers crowded touchdowns across in the first and second per iods for a 13 to 0 lead, took a breather as little Irvine "Cotton" Warburtbn flared for a few brief moments in. the rush to the Trojan score, then banged to a game clinching third score, and the final 20-6 lead hi the third period. Once Warburton, smothered most of the afternoon, did get under way, he made things hum. From mid-field he heaved a perfect pass to Cal demons, his best half back, on Pitt's 25. demons wasnt stopped until he whirled to the 14.

So War- fcurten tossed him another pass for the lone score. With Mike Nicksick, Henry Weis-enbaugh, and Izzy Weinstock hammering the line, and skirting the ends, the Panther scores came quickly. A'f 52-yard drive In the first quarter, with Nicksick weaving through for large gains gave Wein-stock a chance to punch across from the two-yard line. Weisenbaugh ran a kick back 31 yards, tossed a U-yard pass to end Verne Baxter and burst 25 more through his left tackle for the second touchdown. Hub Randour, sub back, tossed a 30-yard pass to Baxter for the final score in the third quarter.

Southwestern received and Jones fumble was covered by Peeples for Mississippi at the Southwestern 26. An offside penalty and a line plunge by Anderson made It first down for the Chocs at the Lynx 15. Aided by efficient interference, Craft swept left end for a touchdown and Davis added the extra point with a perfect placement.

Southwestern received a klckoff that went over the goal line and interspersing passes by Jones with line plunges of Elder, moved the stakes one time before a fumble by Elder halted the drive Anderson covering for the Choctaws at the Lynx S3, Just before the third quar ter ended. Mississippi college lost the ball on downs at the Southwestern 16 and Dickie Dunlap, noted tennis player, went into the Southwestern backfleld as a passer. On first down he passed to Mays for a SO yard gain but two plays later Kyzar intercepted an aerial, at midneid. Mississippi punted to the Lynx, who started passing again, and Kyzar again intercepted, this time at the Southwestern 42. Mississippi punted right back and Dunlap's despe rate passes again filled the air before Hitt Intercepted at the Lynx 39.

On a trade of kicks Southwestern gained 10 yards but Hitt immediately made it back with an off tackle sprint to the Lynx 40. On a subsequent exchange there was little to choose and from his 18 yard line Dunlap completed a pass to Rasberry for a first down at the Southwestern 28. A trade of punts netted Southwestern a live yard gain and aided by a five yard pen-aly, Dunlap completed a pass to Barnes for a first down at midlield just before the game ended.

Homer Norton. For three periods, the game was the sort of defensive battle most frequently seen in tilts between the two teams but midway In the fourth stanza, Howard Hooper, Centenary right end, intercepted a lazy pass over the line, thrown by Bill Couser, and galloped 52 yards for a touchdown.

Soon the Gents Intercepted another Aggie pass and from the Farmer 35-yard line, started a march that did not stop until Captain Buddy Parker plowed over center from the one-yard line. The Farmers' running attack was stopped completely by a strong Centenary forward wall and only with a mediocre passing game were the Cadets able to gain. They played virtually the entire third period in Centenary territory but lacked tne punch to score. In fact, until the unexpected break came which gave the Louisiana squad its first score, there was every indication that the final count would be a scoreless tie. Once in the lead, however, tne Gents crowded their advantage and at the end, had the Texans very much on the run.

Eddie Townson, who reminded Aggie supporters of Frenchy Domingue, made several fine broken field runs, although playing only in part of the game. Centenary led in first downs, 9 to 5.. OLE MISS COACH IS DISAPPOINTED TJNTVERSITY, Oct. 13. CSV-Director of Athletics Ed.

Pearl and Parish Phone Sftl -TV By ASSOCIATED PRESS. Alabama, Tennessee and Tulane continued yesterday to stand out as the power teams of the Southeastern conference as they ran up impressive and easy victories while Georgia Tech and Georgia, of whom much had been expected, dropped for the time at least among the second placers. Mississippi state, which held Vanderbilt to seven points in the rain, gave Alabama little more than a workout as the powerful Crimson Tide ran roughshod over the Mls-sissippians to a 41 to 0 score. Young Boozer, substitute halfback, made three touchdowns, running 80, 76 and 6 yards for them.

Tennessee, In the opinion of many dopesters, went against Mis sissippi even-stephen and outweighed all up and down the line. A sophomore halfback named Dick ens and a Vol second team made up for their lack or weight, now- ever, and trimmed the Dig noys 27 to 0. The strength of the vols also appeared again as North Carolina, defeated last week 19 to 6 by Tennessee, came down out of the Southern conference and whipped a nigmy couiea ueorgia team io 0. It wasn't Georgia's day and the Bulldogs never had a chance. Tulane's Green Wave rolled over the.

sands at Gainesville and completely engulfed Florida, smashing' the-'Gators under a 23 to 12 score. The Southern conference, which until today had won one and lost two from the Southeastern, gained another victory and Duke revenge for Gorgia Tech's 7 to 0 victory and "keeping Duke from the Rose Bowl game last 2ar, by defeating the Jackets 20 to 0. All the scoring was done in the first half. Kentucky saved the Southeast- tern's face by nosing out Clemson 7 to 0, The. Wildcats had been booked to thrash the Bengals easily but the boys from the South Carolina foothills refused to take it on the chin without a fight.

In other games In the Far South Mercer lost to Birmingham-Southern 14 to 0 and Oglethorpe showed strength in winning from Chatta- nooea 18 to 0. Mississippi college won from Southwestern of Mem phis 20 to 7. By ALAN GOULD Remember The Boners? It's one of the distressing features of American sport that fandom re members the fellow who did the wrong thing, rather than the bloke who comes through with a more heroic iaresture. It's 100 to 1 you cant recall who won the deciding game for the en caeo Cubs against the New York Giants in.

their memorable playoff in 1908 for the National league pen nant but anyone knows that Ted Merkle's failure to touch second base was responsible for said playoff. You may hot remember offhand who tailed the winning touchdown for Georgia Tech In the Rose Bowl football on January 1, 1929, but who doesnt recall that Roy Riegels, the California center, picked up a loose ball and ran about i 70 yards toward his own goal in that contest. When anybody mentions the 1917 world series, the first crack is apt to be: "Oh. yes. wasn't that tne time Heinle Zimmerman chased Eddie Collins of the White Sox across the plate the' winning run?" And the answer is, of course, 1934 Has Its Share Consequently, long; after all the box-scores and summaries of current events have been stowed away, they will be talking about how back 1934 Thomas Octave Murdock Sopwith kicked away a glorious chance to capture the America's Cup off Newport, how the Giants booted away their National league pennant lead, and the freak circumstance by which Elmer Boeseke lanky Californian polo star, knocked the ball between his own goalposts for the" score that meant victory for the East in the intersec-tional battle on horseback with the West.

It may be an injustice to an concerned to dwell on the' shortcomings, rather than the more- beautiful side of life, but since it is all part of the great American sporting show at a stated price of admission i suppose there hardly can any objection to the tendency toward magnifying mistakes made under the stress of hard competition. Furthermore, It wouldn't be sport there weren't a lot of "ifs" In the wake of any closely contested event a flock of debates over the outcome. Sopwith may have had good grounds for protest against "Mike" Vanderbllt's Rainbow at a critical stage of the America's Cup races the British yachtman's feelings the whole must be rfra those of pSPOKT- i i TULANE VICTORY Billy Chase, Florida Back, Stars for Gators as Wave Wins 28-12 GAINESVILLE, Oct 13, UP) Claude "Monk" Simons made his educated arm and a pair of flying heels play the major-part in four sudden Tulane touchdown stabs today and the Green Wave beat a Gallant last half drive to down the Florida 'Gators "8 to 12, in a beautiful exhibition of open football. But the scintillating feats of the Louisiana flash did not becloud the brilliant nerformanea of Florida's suiy Chase, whose dead-eye ac- curacy rolled up the' Imposing total of 208 yards gained on 14 passes. The Greenies, whose showing today left no doubt of their championship calibre, started the scoring late in the first period when Thames flipped a short pass to Simons, who nestled the ball under his.

arm and did not stop until he had crossed the 'Gator goal. Florida scored' as the second period opened, but Tulane came" back Strong and within a minute added another touch-" down. With the ball on the Greenies' 37-yard Mne, Simons dropped back and shot a coiling lateral to Mlntz, who ran to the 'Gator 30-yard marker 'on the next play. Mlntz, playing with a broken finger, struck straight at the center of the line and broke for a. touchdown.

Simons added the point, as he had done after the first score. The third touchdown came shortly after one ol the. most sparkling plays of the game. With the ball; on Florida's 15-yard Simons dropped back to pass. He slipped a fast one to Bradley Brownson, who managed to get the ball away for the score.

Simons' kick was good. The Green Wave's last score came late in. the game, after the "Gators had battered their way all over.thff field from the beginning of the second half. Simons broke loose from his own 24-yard line, and dodged no less than half a dozen 'Gators before he was finally cornered on Florida's 18. A moment later he dashed to the 'Gators' lour.

Lod-rigues made the touchdown on the third try at the line and Mlntz place-kicked the last point of the game. Wally Brown made Florida's first touchdown on the opening play of the second quarter, running eight yards and crossing the goal stand ing up. The score ended a 52 yards march to which Chase contributed two completed passes, one for ten yards and the other for 14. Stark's placeklck was wide. The last Florida toUchdcrn was the climax of a period when the 'Gators dominated the play.

Twice the Saurians marched right up" to the Tulane four yard line, only to falter with score-, in sight. The Green Wave had surged up to the 'Gators 34-yard line when their at tack stalled and the ball went over. Wally Brown made three yards and then Chase chunked to George Moye, who. grabbed the ball' Just within Tulane and fled across the goal.

The running story: Hunt kicked off strongly to Ras-berry who swung to the west sideline and returned flashily to the Lynx-37 where he stepped on the sideline (out of bounds) but continued on down the marker until whistles of the officials brought him back. Rasberry and Elder launched an immediate offensive which rolled ui two first downs before being stopped. Gartsils's weak punt flew out of bounds at the Choctaw 30.

Craft for the Choctaws punted back on second down and gained 20 yards on the trade. On a subsequent exchange of kicks Craft gained another 20 yards, despite a neat return by Gartside. Old Dame Fortune tossed a plum in the laps of the Chocs when Rasberry fumbled, at the Southwestern 20 and Yates covered the bounding leather for the Chocs. Craft goose-stepped off tackle and planted the ball on the Lynx 15 and the Memphlans called for time to study their defensive strategy. Craft dropped back to pass and finding all receivers covered, elected to run the ball, and practically without Interference swept through a maze of clutching Lynx claws to cross the goal line standing up.

Davis converted the point from placement. Hunt kicked weakly and Hoots returned it to the Lynx 43. On the first play from scrimmage Gartside crashed through tackle and sidestepped through a broken field 57 yards for a touchdown. Captain Elder converted from placement.

Southwestern kicked out and a pass, Hitt to Kelly, put the ball on the Lynx 10. But in the shadow of their goal the Lynx again were tough and a pass on fourth down to Kelly in the end zone bounced out of the receiver's arms. The Lynx punted out to midfleld and Hitt fumbled on third down at the Lynx 46, May covering for Southwestern.

Gartside fumbled on the first play and Kelly covered for the Chocs at the Southwestern 43. Craft's pass was intercepted on the next by Given at the Lynx 38 to complete a double exchange of possession of the ball, in four plays.
