Five Teams Grab Share Of Championships By HERB BARKER NEW YORK, VP) Southern California's unbeaten Trojans, driving ahead toward another Rose Bowl assignment, knocked off Notre Dame as Cornell, Missouri, Texas A and Ohio State, and Clemson and Duke clinched official or unofficial sectional football championships. The Trojans, tied by Oregon in their first game unchecked since, pushed over two touchdowns in a wild fourth period to hand Notre Dame Its second defeat of the season, 20-21, before a crowd of 56,000 at South Bend. Cornell, unbeaten and untied, buried Penn under a 26-0 count before 69,000 at Philadelphia and won the unofficial eastern Ivy Pftf (frf Sll fk HIDDEN-BALL 1 feHZ -N Nose Out Irish In Great Battle Final Period Runs Bring Crowd to Itsi Feet In 21-12 Win SOUTH BEND. Ind. WV The mighty Trojans of Southern Call fornia roared along their undefeated way, but the 56,000 fans who shivered and shrieked and moaned as the western team won 20 to 12, went away from the game with a feeling of awe at the spectacle.

It was a football gam which built climax upon climax until the spectators in Notre Dame's stadium were limp and exhausted, a game in which an out-powered Irish eleven, which seemed oa the verge of annihilation, sud denly began ripping and slash ing back at its giant foes until it had tied the score, and never gave up even after the Trojan -powerhouse again bad taken com mand. Four of the five touchdown! were scored In the last frenzied quarter when for a time seemed that the impossible would happen; that the Irish youngsters, dwarfed by their white-clad foes, would steal the game. In the first period wren the most violent Notre Dame fan wouldn't have given a worn nickle for their team's chances. The first time the Trojans got the ball, on a punt which rolled dead on their 83, they began to march. A van couldnt have moved out the Notre Dame line more effec tively than did the Trojan for wards as Grenville Lansdell and Bob Peoples, but mostly Grenville Lansdell, began to march.

Sixty-seven yards they marched in 12 plays, the only play that failed to gain being an Intercepted pass, and when Lansdell shot over from the two-yard mark the be wildered fans thought they had seen the ultimate in offensive perfection. In the waning minutes of the third period, Sheridan passed the Irish to the Trojan six after John Mclntyre had intercepted a Lans dell pass and run it back to the USC 47. On the first play of the fourth period, Milt Piepul, on a reverse from Sheridan slashed outside his left tackle to cross the goal standing up. His placekick which would have given Notre Dame the lead curved sharply outside the uprights and it was 6-all. The alarmed Trojans perked up at this, and Lansdell, after intercepting a pass on the Notre Dame 42, started a personal offensive which was culminated in his five yard scamper around his right end for a touchdown.

Bob Jones placekicked the extra point. That set the stage for a smash ing climax, a climax which brought bedlam to the huge throng. USC had kicked off out of bounds and it was Notre Dame's ball on its 35. A five yard USC penalty brought it to the 40, where Benny Sheridan began hie ride to save the Irish honor. He cut off his left tackle, suddenly saw daylight ahead, and started scampering.

He covered the 60 yards to cross the goal standing up, but dreams of a tit faded as John Kelleher's place kick was wide and the Trojans led, 13 to 12. They wouldn't quit, those Irish, and they threw caution to the winds, thus opening the gate for the clinching Trojan touchdown. The Trojans had taken the ball on the Irish 40 on downs, and Ambrose Schindler cut through a gap on the right side of the Notre Dame line, reversed his field, and galloped to a touchdown. PRINCETON TIGERS ROUT NAVY, 28 TOO PRINCETON, J. A long-passing attack that baffled their opponents enabled the Princeton Tigers to close a successful season with a 28 to 0 victory over Navy before 35,000 spectators in Palmer stadium.

In scoring their sixth straight victory the Tigers clinched runner-up honors to Cornell in the Ivy league, their only defeat having been at the hands of the champions early in the season. The first three Princeton touchdowns went like this: Bob Peters to Stanley, 25 yards plunk in the end zone; Dave Allerdice to Stanley, 20 yards plunk on the goal line; Peters to Stanley, 44 yards plunk! On the third one, Stanley was forced to run the final 10 yards. yards to the Gator 29. But Harrison pulled down one of Bosch's passes and ran it back 24 yards to the Florida 39. Cavette took a hand in the proceedings at this moment and intercepted a pass from Harrison.

Tech threatened when the 140- pounder, Bosch, broke lose from deep punt formation and hot footed 30 yards to the 15. Flor ida's defense, which had yielded no more than two touchdowns to any previous opponent, asserted itself and the Gators took over the ball on the 16 after four Tech plays were stopped. Gators Threaten Florida came back-with a fourth period threat that started off when Tate punted out or, the Jacket six. Harrison went back 19 yards to the 29 wth Cavette's punt, but Cavette turned the tide again by intercepting a Gator forward pass. Tech would have scored another touchdown in the final moment but for a dropped pass.

Pair had cleared the Florida secondary and was almost on the goal line when Bates' heave fell into his arms, then bounced out.

WJ Florida tried unsuccessfully to match Georgia Tech's fleet-footed football team in an offensive display and came off second best, 21 to 7. Cheered by a homecoming crowd of 15,000 the Gators cast aside their usual defensive tactics and started throwing the ball around. But Tech turned a pair of fumbles Into scores and cleared another hurdle along the Jackets' path toward a share of the Southeastern conference crown.

Johnny Bosch passing to Pair for the final 12 yards.

Clay placekicked the point. The Gators struck quickly a moment later with their most brilliant offensive play of the year. With the ball on the Tech 49, Tommy Harrison faded back and shot a pass to Forest Ferguson. Trapped on the Tech 25, Ferguson saw Guard Mush Battista coming up fast and threw the ball to him and Battista charged straight across. Tate made good his place kick to tie the score as the crowd gave the wildest demonstration Florida field has seen in a long time.

Early In the second period the Gators had the Jackets backed deep into their own territory when Andy Beno fumbled and Ector again fell on the ball, this time on the Tech 46. Tech Takes Lead The swift Tech eleven needed eight plays to go into the lead. II Beers set up the score by flipping a pass to Ison, who was dumped on the six after a gain of 24 yards. From there, Roy Goree plunged over in three macks at the line. Goree place-kicked the point.

The final score, just before the second period ended, came on an 82 -yard march. Two plays ate up most of the yardage. Wheby broke into the clear on a reverse and raced 21 yards to the Tech 47. Then still another of the classy Tech backs. Bates, lashed a pass to Wheby from the 39 and Wheby was dragged down on the two.

Ector took over the plunging duties and made it in two tries. Goree again placekicked the point. Cavette, a junior guard, gave the Yellow Jackets plenty of help with his brilliant punting. His high-arching boots averaged 44 yards. Florida came within inches of scoring a touchdown and taking the lead in the second period.

Harrison sent a punt out of bounds on the Tech five and Bud Walton returned Cavette's kick-out nine yards to the 36 Walton and Beno combined in charges to make a first down on the 26. Then Walton whipped a pass down the middle to Leo Cahill, who lateraled to Chubby Ferigno. As he neared the goal Ferigno let the ball bounce out of his arms and Tech recovered about a half-yard from the double stripe. Statue of Liberty Works The second half started with a rush.

TURKEYS Local Eleven Needs Win For Successful Year By SONNY JONES Coach Amos Godby's Leon Lions have only two days to pre pare for the invasion of their an cient rivals the Quincy Tigers who invade Centennial field Wednesday night in the final game of the season.

Leon suffered her third defeat of the season in Daytona Beach Thursday, but came out of the gruelling clash in fairly good physical condition. Daytona, in chalking up its third successive victory over the Lions, scored early in the first quarter and then sat back and played a fine defensive game the rest of the way. Old Rivals little is known of the actual strength of the Quincy team this season, but when the Lions go up against the Tigers fur is sure to fly. Regardless of the past rec ords of the two teams, when they meet in their annual battle all past performances are forgotten and no holds are barred.

Coach Godby is expected to let his boys take it fairly easy in both drills this week. Some rough stuff may be placed on the menu Monday, but Tuesday will be used for a final limbering session.
