CC PART II 5 20 INJURY TULANE, TR RIDDLE TOP JANS Py BRAVEN DYER Cravath Depends on Subs BY CHARLES CURTIS Times Staff Representative NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 21. Southern California's injury-ridden football squad completed its first invasion of the South in successful fashion today with a 20-to-13 victory over Tulane's Green Wave in. the season's windup for both teams. The free-wheeling affair drew 25,000 fans to Tulane's big stadium.

x-n a fill llHil Coach Jeff Cravath reached deep into his dwindling squad for the necessary manpower to go through this late-year inter-sectional match and players who early in the year were rated fifth stringers carried a heavy burden today. The result closed Troys season at six victories against four losses. V' T-. If there was a star for South ern California today it was Mick-' ey McCardle closing his Trojan career on the gridiron.

Offhand, I can't recollect another.

And Red Grange is the only other triple AA in Illinois history, so Alex must be good. The 195-pound guard accomplished the hat trick by making the all-star team as a sophomore at Illinois in 1942, as a marine trainee at Purdue in 1943 and again this past season back at Champaign. Alex was wounded in shoulder and leg at Okinawa, and lost his old football buddy, Halfback Tony Butkovich of Illinois and Purdue, in the same action. He was selected as the Big Nine's most valuable player in a poll of coaches and scribes. He'll start at right guard and his kid brother Lou will start at left tackle against the Bruins.

Alex and Lou are Armenians. YOU TAKES YOUR CHOICE If you shop around a bit you may find the kind of betting odds you're looking for. On Spring St. U.C.L.A. is a 6-point favorite.

In Chicago's Lake St. Illinois is a 3 -point favorite. New York's Broadway bettors are offering 6 to 5 and take your choice. Ray Eliot's Western Conference champs have more personnel depth than "any pro team," according to Gene sports editor of the Chicago Times. And that comes from a guy who has seen the Chicago Bears in action.

(So what? So '20 different Bruins got in the scoring column this year, indicating that U.C.L.A.'s manpower isn't too skimpy, either.) The Illini are not invulnerable. They blew a 14-7 duke to a disappointing Indiana team that lost to Cincinnati, Iowa and Michigan. RYKOVICH CAN RAMBLE Julie Rykovich, 195-pound halfback transfer from Notre Dame, teamed up with Angelo Bertelli, Creighton Miller and Jim Mello in the Irish back-field for the unbeaten 1943 national champs. Julie's big, but he can buzz. In the Ohio State xgame the Buckeyes were inside the 10-yard line and threatening, but Rykovich squelched 'em by intercepting a pass and scampering 98 yards to a T.D.

The Bruin secondary must be on the alert for passes tossed to Buddy Young, the Chocolate Rocket. Incidentally, the first time Buddy touched the ball this season (in the Pittsburgh opener) he galloped 46 yards to pay. dirt. Carping critics have called Buddy a flop for not scoring- as frequently as he did last year. Coach Eliot points out that the enemy was so busy watching Buddy that other Illini backs were being shaken loose, so Young got an assist on those tallies.

THEY SHALL NOT PASS One sports writer observed, "Illinois offense consists of an iron-curtain defense and an intercepted pass." Maybe he's got something there, mates. Michigan, which was potent enough to rack up 58 points on those Ohio State mastodons, was repulsed five times inside the 20-yard stripe by the Illini. Iowa was held for downs four times inside the 20 and Illinois took the ball away from Ohio State on the 1-INCH (INCH, that is) line and again staved off three Buckeyes line bucks inside the 10. Northwestern's Wildcats, who scored four times on Wisconsin and Ohio State and twice on Michigan, never got past Illinois' 29-yard markeF. I still have to be convinced that the visitors can halt a Bruin scoring machine that piled up 50 points on Oregon State and 46 on St.

Mary's with only half a head' of steam up. Had Bert LaBrucherie been bloodthirsty, he could have tacked 25 points onto each of those scores. COMEBACK KIDS The FighthY Illini had to overcame a 7-point lead to beat Michigan, 13-9, on Paul Patterson's 16-yard touchdown trip and Sam Zatkoffs 58-yarder with an intercepted pass. Zatkoff and the other starting end, Ike Owens, each had 26 candles on his last birthday cake, and each spent five years in the service. Owens played on Bob Zuppke's last team in 1941.

McCardle BY AL WOLF When Illinois' 40-odd footballers arrive tomorrow for their Rose Bowl engagement with U.C.L.A., there won't many green peas in the trainload. Twenty-seven of Coach Ray Eliot's athletes have been members of the varsity squad for at least two seasons. And some of the young gents have been all over the moleskin map these past few years. Take the case of Halfback Chick Maggioli, for example. He played freshman ball at Indiana in 1942, varsity ball at Notre Dame in 1943 and 1944 as a Navy trainee and this past season alternated at left half for the Illini with Jules Rykovich and Art Dufelmeier.

In '44, incidentally, Maggioli ran 79 yards to score the touchdown that gave Notre Dame a 13-7, victory over Illinois.
