Trailing 21 to ,0 and 'with the prospect ui a -rout staring them in the i face, a belliger-ent band of Tu- 1 a players lived up to all the fine things Ernie their supporters had said of them and sent the huge throng of more than souls home with the knowledge that Southern California had beat- a great football team.

It was an offensive war from the tery start and statistics will show that Tulane had an edge to both first downs and from scrimmage. It was Troy's goal-line punch that spelled defeat for the Dixie lads more than anything eke and the score pretty well indicates the relative strength of the two teams as they appeared on the field yesterday. HOT AND COLD Southern California was alternately hot and cold. When the Trojans were fired they were dynamite. When they relaxed after getting a comfortable lead Tulane boomed through and arcund the westerners with a lashing, desperate running attack which brought two touchdowns just at a time when it appeared that the Trojans were going on a nonstop New Year's Day scoring spree.

Tulane played inspired football from to last, while the Trojans were obviously not up to their customary peak until midway in the tecond quarter, when a brilliant 58-yard dash by Glover had the same effect as the explosion of a keg of dynamite under the Southern California players. Leading 21 to 0 with little more (Continued on Page 9, Column 2) I Trojans Not Up to Snuff, Says Warner BY GLENN S. WARNER Member All-America Board of Football ROSE BOWL, PASADENA, Jan. 1. The game today was as well played and interesting as any Tour nament of Roses game I have ever witnessed.

TheTe were many exciting long runs by unusually clever ball carriers There were some? cleverly executed forward passes and there was more lateral passing than I have ever seen in a game before. This veri "WOP" JT fies the opinion of many coaches that this method of advancing the ball is going to become more common In years to come. The punting of both teams was good and these tasks were handled well by both teams. At the start of the game it looked as though Tulane were the better team. The southern boys outplayed the Trojans by a wide margin during much of the first quarter and if they had not fumbled so much it is quite possible that they might have won the game.

There was more fumbling than is usual in a final game of the season and while the Trojans did some of it, Tulane's fumbles came often and they usually were recovered by their opponents. It appeared to me that the Tulane boys were not so well shod as were the Trojans because on many occasions the ball carriers slipped when making quick turns. Had they been able to hold their feet better they would have pulled off many more long runs. Those fast and elusive Tulane backs were very dangerous at all times and on two occasions they were hauled down from behind when they hat' clear fields. This boy Glover I would say was the star of the game.

He locked better than Mohler today and his long runs were a feature of the game. Zimmerman was a faster and -5 1 Erskine 1931 Grid Award Southern California's 21-12 victory over Tulane brought the Trojans the Albert Russell Erskine football trophy and the national grid championship for 1931. Presentation of the trophy was made in front of the Trojan rooting section following the game by William R. Moorehouse, member of the Erskine award board. The Erskine award brought a Studebaker President eight sedan to Coach Howard Jones, an engraved cup to the Uni- versity of Southern Calif or- nia and a scroll signifying the national championship to the Trojan team.

EAST CONQUERS WESTERN TEAM Pacific Coast Stars Bow Rivals, 6-0 to BY RUSSELL NEWLAND Associated Press Sports Writer SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1. (P) Crashing over a touchdown in the closing minutes of the first period and showing a decided superiority on both offense and defense, East conquered West, 6-0, today in a mighty gridiron struggle played in the name of charity. Some 50,000 fans filled Ke-zar Stadium to near capacity at the start of the game, but a steady down i -rvt. Leonard welle.ndocf pour after the first quarter rained half the crowd out.

Some of the outstanding football stars of the country slipped and slid through mad inches deep with the eastern representatives adapting themselves to conditions in better fashion than their opponents. With the field comparatively dry during the opening period the easterners took advantage of two poor punts by the westerners to put the (Continued on Page 9.

I thought my boys played good football. The seniors in particular, were good." Erny Pinckert, who played the last game of his collegiate career yesterday, was happy that the long grind was over.

(Continued from First Page) and then Sparling's reverse spin over the line. ERNY IN SCORING ROLE Then in the next period Pinckert stepped out of his blocking role to become the scoring hero of the day. And, finally Tulane, never giving up the ship, sent a touchdown over the line on a bullet-like pass from Zimmerman to Haynes. It was from the 10-yard line and followed another of Glover's scintillating runs, this time for 39 yards. Glover was as hard for the Trojans to stop as a greased pig.

This score arrived in the third period and Tulane got another in the last quarter when Glover climaxed his dazzling day's work with a touchdown from the 3-yard line. The play that led up to this brought Capt. Jerry Dalrymple of Tulane into the limelight. A pass, thrown from the 25-yard line, was batted into the air by a defending Trojan player. Dalrymple, rushing forward, caught the ball with a wile leap into the air and was brough down on the 3-yard line.

Tulane was unable to kick eithet of its goals from touchdown, Errii Smith blocking the first attempt an Pinckert smearing an attempted pass to Haynes the next time.
