Southern California beat California, 6 to 0, this afternoon in a bitter, thrilling struggle that was as different from last year's debacle as day from night.

Jacketed Huskies battled this after toon to a 0-to-0 draw. If there's such a thing as a "moral victory," honors went to Washington, for Stanford was picked to win. Also, the scoreless tie nuts an ineffecable dent in Stanford championship hopes.

But so far as honors of the football game are concerned, It was also exactly horse and heme. Neither team could score, neither penetrated deeper Into the other's territory than the 8-yard line, and that very rarely. Mostly the slippery, indecisive trucele was played between the 80-yard markers, with little to choose between the struggling contenders MATTERS EVEN Each team dominated the game In one half. Washington, afire wjth fighting spirit, took play out of Stanford's hands in the first half, and twice reached the Cardinal 15-yard line, but only to surrender the ball. Once, from the 25-yard mark, Just before the first quarter ended.

Washington was close enough to stake victory on a field goal attempt, but Merle Hufford's wet shoe slipped on the equally ilimy ball and the kick rolled wide across the line for a touchback in Stanford favor. Again, Just before the begin- ning of the second half, Howard of Washington blocked Moffatt's fourth down punt on his own 25. The ball rolled back at a crazy angle with Moffatt desperately in pursuit. He Just did get it, on his own 15, but it was IV, Wash Ins ton's ball because of fcurth down. That as the Huskies great scoring chance, but they threw it away.

On the first play Hufford, on a wide end run, circled the Cardinal left wing for 5 yards, to the Stanford 10-yard mark. Thereupon the Huskies interrupted the rhythm of their running attack at this point to attempt a pass and Wolcott's (Continued on Page 4, Column 8) ft Hf 1 TV-O PANTHERS BOW TO NOTRE DAME Irish Score 25-to-12 Over Pittsburgh Win Pitt Eleven Gives Ramblers Fierce Battle Schwartz and Melinkovitch Winning Stars SOUTH BEND (Ind.)

To say that Pitt fought is putting it in mild terms. At times it speed ed up to actually eclipse the power of its opponents. But in tne course of the actual struggling the Panth ers had to give ground to hostile replacements such as they tnem selves did not possess. They reced ed as slowly and impressively as the setting sun, which, In its allotted time, had beamed down on as sterling a struggle as the season will produce. The prestige of great Notre Dame teams of other years must give ground just as the Panthers gave it reluctantly today.

REGULARS START True to the promise that Pitt was too worthy an opponent to trust to the care of the shock troops, the Irish regulars started and hur ried as best they could to a touchdown and a kick in the first period. In the next session Pitt, with its amazing speed as carried out by Paul Reider and Warren Heller, went running over the Irish goal, but the kick was missed. Then Notre Dame, refreshed by shock troops, countered with another six points in the same period. That finished the spectacle as a combat The Irish continued with a touchdown in each of the succeeding periods and the Panthers, some of whom didn't wearily retire until near the finish, came back in the final quarter for their last six points against the Notre Dame second team.

TROBABES SCORE VICTORY Conquer Indian Frosh, 26 to 0, as Warburtons Fleet Foot ork Features Slow Contest BY EDWARD LAWRENCE Francis Tapaan's "Thundering Yearlings', of the University of Southern California made it five straight over Stanford University freshmen, 2C to 0, before a smattering of fans at the Olympic Stadium yesterday afternoon. The Stanford youngsters last defeated the Trobabes back SAN FRANCISCO Tom Liebs Gridmen Defeat Gray Fog, 7 to 6 Bay City Team Outplayed in Wrigley Field Tilt Visitors Unable to Stop Attack of Local Squad BL FRANK ROCHE Make no mistake about it lads and lassies of football land, your Uncle Tom Lieb has quite a team out at Loyola way. If you were not at Wrigley Field yesterday after noon and are at all skeptical Just pin back your spectacles and glance over this score: Loyola, 7: San Francisco Uni versity, 6.

Yes that happened at TOM LiEb Wrigley Field with some 10. 000 fans on deck as witnesses so the San Francisco team won't deny it no matter now much it hurts. The result of the game proved a decided upset of the football dope. Jimmy Needles's players just last Sunday gave St. Mary's College a terrific battle and they were figured easy winners over the Lions by nearly all the experts.

FORGOT UNCLE TOM Evidently the experts. Jimmy Needles and the Gray Fog players from San Francisco U. forgot for the moment that Your Uncle Tom was the man who led Notre Dame to an undefeated year in 1929. while the late Knute Rockne was on a sickbed and that he knows quite a little about this game of football. At any rate, the Loyola team that faced San 'Francisco proved quite a revelation.

The Lions outplayed the Bay City team all afternoon at every department of the game and with any kind of breaks would have won by another touchdown. The Llebmen scored nine first downs to San Francisco's seven and they completed more passes and made your yardage than the heavier Gray Fog eleven. That's doing pretty good for an underdog eh Watson? Incidentally yesterday's victory was the first the Loy ola institution has scored over San Francisco, nee St. Ignatius in four years of competition. imagine the embarrassment of the experts to say nothing of San Francisco when the Loyola boys took the play away from them In the first quarter making three first downs to one.

The quarter ended with the ball on San Francisco's 23 -yard line, the result of a pass from Brubaker to Sullivan. I Bud Brubaker lugged the ball to the 1-yard line shortly after the second period had opened and Vaughn Euge dove over a pile of players for the first touchdown of the game on the next play. Brubaker converted, giving the Loyola team a 7-to-0 lead. San Francisco then changed its backfield and a lit-tie fellow named Tony Donadio went in at quarterback for War- (Continued on Page 2, Column 1) otecser iea tne attack that earned the ball across the Blue for 6 points, where Broshous failed at goal. The Army at this point seemed to be in control with less than a quarter left, and then the big thrill of the afternoon came along that lifted 70,000 spectators to their collective feet Hh a vocal cataclysm that could be heard a mile away.

SEEMED BEATEN Yale seemed to be beaten. One had the feeling that the Blue flag was about to drop to half-mast. Then the Army kicked off. The ball settled in the arms of Bob Parker just as he was crossing the 10-yard line. "When Parker started most of the crowd seemed to think, it was Albie Booth but it wasn't.

It was the slender black-haired Yale quarter from Greenwich, Ct. Start lng from the middle of tha field Parker cut out toward the right side line. He swept about 35 yards down the right side line, helped by fine blocking. As an Army tackier dived (Continued on Page Column S) dan was stretched out on the turf. Ills trainer came out and without any waste of time had a stretcher brought out.

This was the first sign that Sheridan had been badly hurt. It was noticed a moment later that Coach Ralph Sasse of the Army team left the Army bench and hurried away. He returned a few minutes later, but it could be seen that he was walking nervously up and down, apparently paying no attention to one pf the exciting final quarters of football. Sheridan was one of the most popular men at the Military Academy, Ih 6pite of his lack of weight he played with a speed, spirit and dash that more than made up for his lack 'of bulk. He was the end who picked up Stecker's fumble against Harvard and fell on the ball across for the Army's second touchdown.

fa-J fornia team that has r- i whelmed three i conference rivals on successive Saturdays, Cali-J fornia fought scv hard, so vicious-1 ly, that the outcome of the battle hung in the balance until the final gun. There was no superiority in any department of nlay for the Q.AV Trojans. The Bears fought them tooth and toenail, and if the payoff were on moral victories Golden Bears would be the conquering heroes today. SPARLING SCORES Southern California, making a sudden and sensational attack, scored the only touchdown of th game on six plays late in the second quarter, Sparling, sprinting. 14 yards to the score on an end-around play.

Southern California had only, one other opportunity for tally, and the battling Bears stopped this onslaught by pushing Musick back a couple of yards on fourth down and taking the ball on their own J-yard line in the fourth Offensively and defensively Bears, rising to unexpected heights, waged one of the most remarkable battles on record against a team that was doped to win by at least three or four touchdowns. It was one of the greatest games of football ever played by a Cali fornia team. That the Bear failed to capitalize on their two big scoring chances seemed a pity but. on the other hand it is a tribute, to the battling stand made by Trojans on the threshold of their own goal line. Opportunities to score were even and that shows the closeness of the contest.

Both Bears and Trojans were in the scoring zone Gill was stopped a foot short of the goal line in the first period and Sparling batted down a pass from Valianos on fourth down? ia the third period. The Trojans took the ball on their own 3 -yard Una and kicked out of danger, but S.C. rooters had the chills running up and down their spinal column before Shaver unloaded a 42-yard punt.

Oct 24, The University of New Mexico Lobos scored an upset here today, defeating the Occidental College Tigers, 14 to 0.

With a strong forward wall and a tight defense against Oxy's famed passing attack, the invaders did not get inside the Lobo 30-yard line. The New Mexico second team scored on the Tiger reserves early in the first period. A 30-yard pass, Hill to Rowan, took the ball to Occidental's 10-yard stripe. Corn passed to Severns for a touch, down. The two first teams played defensive ball for most of the remainder of the game.

Late in the fourth period an intercepted pass and a 20-yard dash off tackle by Hill brought the Lobos to Oxy's 16-yard line. Hendrix made a first down through the line. Corn circled end for 6 yards and a touchdown. He place-kicked for both points after touchdowns. New Mexico made eight first downs to Occidental's six.

Bill Spaulding's U.C.L.A. Bruins found their offensive style of play with a vengeance here this afternoon and chalked up a 46-0 victory over the Pomona Sagehens. The Bruins had gone scoreless in three games pre vious. The Bruins tallied the initial touchdown in the first period when Johnny Fletcher grabbed a Sage hen punt and ran 40 yards down the sidelines to cross the goal line, Keeble missed the try for point. The Bruins threatened late in the same period but passed over the goal line incomplete.

The second touchdown came in the second quarter with Lennie Bergdahl tallying. Duncan con verted. Pomona's deepest thrust into U.CIj.A. territory took the ball to the 30-yard line into the second period, but lost the ball on a fumble. The Westwood eleven started to click in the third period and scored four more touchdowns.

The first one came on a pass, Keeble to Decker, which was good for 35 yards and the score. Duncan converted again. The next score was made by Keeble, who took a lateral pass from Decker from the 11-yard line. Dun can again converted. Nixon tried to pass on his own 15- yard line but the attempt was blocked by pec Haslam, who intercepted the heave and ran across for the score.

Duncan's attempt for the extra point failed. Bergdahl on a reverse from Decker ran 52 yards for another touch down, the last of the third quarter quartet. Duncan's conversion at tempt was no good. Late in the third quarter Bull Jones, Bruin guard, intercepted a Pomona pass on the Sagehen 29-yard From that point the Westwood team worked the pig skin to the 1-yard line but the Po- (Continued on Page 3, Column 5) Just after proving his versatility by taklrjg a 10-yard pass from Downes which brought the ball to the 2-yard stripe, Roberts had the misfortune to fumble on the next play, the ball being recovered by Thomas for Vandy. It looked like a heart-breaking turn of the game for Georgia, but Henderson, attempting to punt out of danger, stepped unintentionally over the end zone and the Bulldogs received an automatic safety.

Catfish Smith and Austie Downes were the big noise in the only touchdown of the game which came early in the third quarter. Little Austie started things by streaking 57 yards down the field with one of Henderson's numerous, punts to oring tne nail to Vandy's 8-yard stripe. Here the Black wall nerved itself to the highest pitch. It was fighting mad; three' times Roberts hurled himself into the seething mass. Three times he bounced back without gain.

Behind capable interference, War-burton scored the first two touchdowns for the Trobabes, clicking off 105 yards in three tries. With Siemens clearing the way, Warburton slipped off right tackle on his own 18-yard stripe in the first quarter, galloped along the sideline until he was by the last Indian frosh tackier and then cut down the center of the field for a touchdown. Clemens failed to convert. Warburton next effort came in the second quarter. He circled 1 his right end for 17 yards to the Stanford yearling 3-yard line and after "Inky" Wotkyns had dropped a couple of yards went around right end for a touchdown.

Clemens booted the extra digit. A third touchdown was disallowed in the third quarter when Warburton was called back for stepping out of bounds after racing 35 yards across the goal line. Clemens made up for this bad break a few minutes later, however, when he found a big hole at left tackle, stepped past a couple of tacklers and continued on for 49 yards to score.

24. (P) Washington State's Cougars snatched their two scoring opportunities here today and defeated a rejuvenated Montana University football team, 13 to 0. It was a discouraging loss for the Grizzly outfit that outbattled and outgalned the 1930 Pacific Coast Conference champions throughout the first half, but weakened before the greater Cougar reserve strength after three scoreless periods, in which the Grizzlies and not the Cougars provided the scoring threats. Clever Sander, Washington State halfback, rifled an 11-yard pass to a substitute end, Kelley, who sprinted 20 yards to score. From then on the silver-hel-meted Montanans tired rapidly.

Several exchanges of punts put Montana deep in her own territory. Endeavoring to work their way out, the Grizzlies lost the ball by a fumble on their 20-yard line. With another touchdown in sight, Davis, halfback, sidestepped to the 5-yard mark. Bendele, crashing Cougar fullback, tallied on his second plunge and Dahlen kicked a goal from placement for the added point. Montana drove to the Washington State 16-yard mark in the first quarter and seemed headed for a certain touchdown.
