TROJANS MARY'S GRIDDERS. 14-7 Another Epic by Homer, Whose Touchdown Odyssey Won This Battle lor Troy -4 Copyright, 1933, by the" tTlmes-Mirror Company, SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 15, 1933 1 Ml 1 -i V'lf i 1 v. 1 I A. P. photo by Tommy Burns Here's the Score That Settled an Old Score for Southern California's Trojan Horse BL.

Mary's was the last team to defeat the Thundering Herd, the Gaels turning the stunt in the 1931 season opener, but the Trojans flnallly got even for that beating by butmauling the Moraga Marauders, 14 to. 7, in yesterday's bitter gridiron battle. And this was the play that broke a 7-to-T tie and gave Troy its winning poin ts. The arrow points to Homer Griffith, who is shown dragging Mattos over the goal line with him for the winning touchdown after being tackled three yards from scoring territory. It was a wonderful bit of individual work on the part of the husky Trojan quarterback.

In the foreground may be seen Carl Jorgenson (70) and George Canrinus (69,) who didn't get over in time to help Mattos. Lying flat on his tummy is Wagner Jorgenson (35.) sub Gael center, who is getting a worm's-eye view of the play that decided the game.

FRANKLIN SHINES AS DONS LOSE Former Long Beach Bach Leads Oregon State to 12-to-7 Victory BY RUSSELL NEWLAXD Associated Press Sports Writer KEZAR STADIUM (San Fran The mighty Mikulak, a tough, tireless fullback, almost single-handed turned several Washington drives through the first three periods, and then led a smashing attack in the ast quarter, which saw him score the only touchdown of the traditional battle. Oregon reached enemy territory for the first time late in the third period and the Web-footers went wild. They passed and pounded to Washington's 1-foot line only to lose the ball on a fumble, and then came right back with a deceptive aerial attack that concluded with Mikulak burling his body like a log over the top of the Husky line for the touchdown.

John Milligan, a substitute half-, back, failed to tally the extra point from placement. i It was the fifth shutout victory for Oregon over its bitter rival in the last six years. Last season the two elevens, played to a scoreless tie. Washington, handicapped to some extent when its pile-driving fullback, Paul Sulkosky, was only able to play for a time in the last half because of an injured knee, tossed evertyhing in the book at the Web- seven games. St.

Mary's put up a marvelous fight and went down with color flying. Two penalties, one preceding the first Trojan touchdown and the second just prior to Troy's winning score, hurt the Gaels no end and what the score would hav been without these set-backs Is a matter of grave conjecture. Certain it is that Southern California had an edge. But you can also past it in your hat that the battling Gaels would have made the going much tougher for their foes had it not been for these penaltis. CREDIT TO LINE Southrn California's great line, which repulsed every serious running threat the Gaels offered in scoring territory, must be given chief credit for the triumph.

And standing out like a Prince Albert in a nudist colony was the figure of Aaron Rosenberg, stalwart Trojan guard, who was in every play despite the fact that he usually had to drag himself off the ground cisco) Oct. 14. (JP) On a long float End of Half Stops Indians on One-Yard Stripe Wildcats Outplay Rivals -in Unexciting Battle BY GRANTLAND RICE SOLDIER FIELD (Chicago) Oct. 14. (Exclusive) The flaming Cardinal of Stanford left Soldier Field this afternoon with an indigo tinge.

This blot of indigo came from collision with the Purple of Northwestern. Beaten by Iowa two weeks ago, picked for almost certain defeat against Stanford's speed, Northwestern not oply held Stanford to a 0-0 tie but had the edge in play through the greater part of the game as 35,000 looked on. Stanford's fast backs Grayson, Maentz, Sim, Hlllman and others were cut down on play after play. The charging Wildcats cracked their way through the Stanford line to nail the ball carrier time after time before he had taken his second step. Stanford's speed never had a chance to get started against Northwestern'! alert, aggressive defense, led by Ed Manski, the brilliant Wildcat end from Ne-koosa, Wis.

MANSKI BRILLIANT Manski was a ball-playing centipede. He was all over the green-brown turf of Soldier Field breaking up Stanford plays on more than one occasion, throwing fleet Cardinal runners well back of the line before they knew just where the Purple came from. Here was a game that from start to finish belonged to the defense with each attack smothered. was a strange turn of affairs that Stan One minute Homer was leaping frantically in the air on his 15-yard line, only to see Fred Canrinus snag a long pass from George Wilson and gallop unmolested to give St. Mary's a touchdown, which tied the score at 7 to 7.

The next Homer was crashing through the Gael line for one long gain after another until the grand climax, when he skirted left end, ran into more congestion than you can find in Bullock's basement on bargain day and then plowed over for the touchdown which gave Southern California a 14-to-7 triumph. RUGGED FOOTBALL It was one of those rough and rugged gridiron battles in which defensive ferociousness predominated. The better team won, but only after as fierce a fight as Troy has ever been called upon to wage against a foe who was in there battling tooth and nail to the last whistle. Southern California's triumph extended to twenty-four the phenomenal winning streak of Howard Jones and his athletes. By scoring on the Trojans in the second quarter the Gaels became the first team to get be- MR.

HE'S AWAY! Apparently having perused some pre-season Jibes from northern sources, our digit Juggler took typewriter in hand and let fly as follows in the issue of September 28: "Stanford and California play weak teams and like to run up as large scores as they can with practicability. I have seen little Nevada hold Stanford to a tie. no one down here was poor enough sport to scoff. "No team puts in the weaker strings sooner than S. C.

As a result no team in the country year in and year out has more men gaining experience and progressing from year to year. S. C. never has completely green team as so often happens elsewhere. TRY TO SWALLOW THIS DOPE the western team was outplayed.

Northwestern made nine first downs to Stanford's five. Northwestern outrushed and out-passed Stanford and yet, with only a minute or two to play, Stanford recovered a Northwestern fumble on the Wildcat 20-yard line. A penalty cost 5 yards and the fleet Sim flashed outside of tackle for 7 more.
