Then the Hoosiers scored and went ahead, 7 to 6. But the Spartans added two more touchdowns in the second quarter, and once getting the lead, held it the route.

The victory, scored In a decisive manner even though Indiana made a contest of it in the first half, means that the Spartans will spring into the Big Ten in 1953 with not having lost to a conference member in three full seasons.

The crowd of 22,000, smallest that has seen State play in three years, except for the who attended the game played last year on this same Memorial Stadium field, had to get into rain clothes midway the first quarter. It rained intermittantly through the rest of the game. The Sooners knew they were in a real battle from the outset when PALO ALTO, Nov. 8 UP Southern California's Trojans, unveiling a stunning, new-found offense to go with their vaunted defense, buried Stanford's Indians under a 54-7 avalanche today before 43,000 fans. The unbeaten contenders for the Pacific Coast Coherence championship and the Rose Bowl charged another lap to their twin objectives with a ground and aerial attack that shattered the defense as well as the morale of Stanford.

It was the most one-sided victory for U. S. C. over Stanford since the gridiron rivalry was established in 1005. The Trojans defeated the Indians 41-12 in 1930.

U. S. C. scored a touchdown in the first period, two in the second, and obliterated the confused Indians with three touchdowns in the third. The Trojans added two more for good measure in the fourth.

Battered and beaten. Stanford The easy work-out was welcome, after the losing battle against Illinois last week and the possible Big Ten championship game with sota eleven, 14 to 14, today. The tie left the Boilermakers at the top of the Big Ten standings with three victories and one tie. Minnesota now has three victories, a loss and one tie. Minnesota dominated play in the first two periods to build up a 7-0 lead at the half.
