The Lions sharpened their teeth with a 25-to-0 victory over the naval-base team from San Pedro. In the main, reserves were given the task of handling the far weightier sailors.

Then Facarovlch's regulars took the field against Fulierton Junior College and the result was about the same. Loyola Won the main event, 26 to 0. The Lions proved themselves a strong offensive team a week ago In scrimmage against C. Yesterday they demonstrated that, although their line is weak, they have that necessary defensive stamina that goes with a good football squad, light or heavy. In the fourth quarter Curtis and Bogus of Fullcrton made damaging gains through the Loyola line, but thrice without fail, the Lion defense stiffened In the shadow of their own goal line and thrice the Fulierton tide was turned back.

Breaking through the none too strong Fulierton foreward wall, Loyola blocked an attempted punt In the second quarter and took possession of the ball in enemy territory. Line plays carried the oval to within striking distance of the goal and Eaton carried the tanbark across. Eaton converted. With but a minute to play, Evo Pusich intercepted a Fulierton pass and galloped over a broken 80 yards to a second- Loyola touchdown. Again the Lions converted and the half was over.

'Red" Sargent, fighting Loyola end, carried the ball 22 yards to give the Lions a head start In the third quarter. Bill Bergman at quarter bucked across the third touchdown a moment later. Then came the fourth period and with it plenty of grief for the Lions. Hard hammering by the heavier Fulierton chargers started to tell, Darticularly on the center of the Loyola line. Long runs off tackle were, contributed by Messrs.

Curtis and Bogue of the Jaysees. Adding variety, Fulierton completed several passes and made the Lions like it. Only superb fight and grit on the one-yard line saved a score on at least two occasions. Loyola's final count came during the onlv efiective bit of Lion passing of the day.

(Exclusive) When Knute Rockne dropped Into town the other day the first question that was fired at him was: "What sort of a football team Is Notre Dame going to have this year?" Rock looked sad and gloomy asfred Vezle and John Colerlck head 1 1 I i '-K 1 i In general, the downward trend- may be directly traced to the hi' discreet or ineffective use of the forward pass. For those who like the features of the open game there were plenty of thrills, but among the major teams there was a distinct return to the 1 d-fashioned run-n i games with power variations. A sharp upward trend was recorded in the general ability of teams in all sections of the country which automatically recorded a stiffer defense. Better coaching variety in attack and all-round better material were reported generally in major conference circles. LEADERS CHANGE Where the University of Washington led the scoring brigade in 1925 with 461 points, the 1926 honor was won by Lafayette with 330 points, the only eastern team neither beaten nor tied for that season.

Last year Georgetown University swept into the lead with a high-point score of 377 an average of 42 points per game, and thev allowed their opponents only 21 points in nine games. Locally it may be noted that since the change of football policy from purely defensive play to the dynamic offense Instituted by Head Coach Howard Jones, Southern California has fared well. During the season of 1925, which marked Jones's debut into far-western football, the Trojans played thirteen games, scoring a total of 456 points an average of 33.1 points, or five touchdowns per game. Their offensive netted them second position in the high scoring list of major teams. University of Washington scored 461 points and Dartmouth third with 340 points.

In 1926 Southern California's score of 317 points ran a very close second to Lafayette, which led the nation with 330 points. This year Southern California's offensive averaged 31.7 points, or more than five touchdowns per game. Their opponents scored an average of 5.2 points against the Trojan defensive record. Morton Kaer, quarterback of the 1926 Southern California varsity, was chosen all-American halfback by unanimous choice of all football critics. Kaer made himself internationally famous by breaking every ground-gaining record hung up by Red Grange, truly one of the greatest halfbacks of all time.

PLACED THIRD The 1927 season for Southern California brought stiffer competition In both conference and Inter-sectional games. Early season good backfield material and a practically green line ultimately functioned as one of the hardest hitting teams in America. The Trojans placed third in high point scoring this year with 287 points. Georgetown University led the high-scoring teams with 377 points and New York University second with 345. Southern California's average score last season was 28.7 points or an average of four and one-half touchdowns per game.

The Trojan defensive record decreased in about the same proportion, their opponents scoring an average of 6.4 points per game. In the Pacifio Coast Conference the Trojans' 1927 record officially tied Stanford and Idaho, but a comparison of scores and schools played unquestionably made Southern California Pacific Coast champions. This statement has been made by both Warner and Erb, coaches of the respective teams tied with the Trojans. For the first time in the history of the local institution Southern California' placed two men on the all-American team. These were Morley Drury, quarterback, and Jesse Hibbs, tackle.

Never before has any far-western college placed two all-American players and I believe it Is the second time the Pacific Coast has been so honored. In 1925 Nevers of Stanford and Wilson of Washington University were placed on the mythical all-American eleven. Thus In both 1925 and 191G Southern California ranked second and in 1927 third among high-scoring teams in major conference competition. Combining the thre years under Howard Jones's stewardship. Southern California scored the greatest number of points of any team in America.

'Their total of 1060 points for thirty-three games In three years represents an average of 32.1 points per game. Georgetown points and Washington third with 913 points. The tabulation appearing below shows th positions of the first ten teams in America for the three-year period, the list having been carried forward to thirteen places In order to show the relative position of Notre Dam with the first ten. Assuming that the early season and conference competition is on a par in ail conferences, the above data indicates that the Jones svs-tem of play creates year after year a high scoring machine such' as fans delight to see. Out on Bovard field there are at least fifty good reasons for believing that Southern California will have a high scoring machine for the coming season.

There, were seven teams of good material daily engaged in signal running and scrimmage. The varsity has been culled from these and they are all of a caliber that enables one to predict a high scoring machine that will live up to the name of The Thundering Herd. Russ Saunders and Don Williams as offensive units should make fans forget the great all-Amerlcan quarterback Drury. With such a group of interference and linesmen available the backfield stars should do enough spectacular scoring to suit even the most ambitious fan. DEFENSE DIFFERENT The Trojans scored four and one-half touchdowns per game for the past three years.

Can you imagine any team in America spotting Southern California 32 points and keep out of the asylum? I can't either. Defense? That's another question. The great Drury will be sorely missed. Can Jones assume the role of Aladdin and create another backfleld man with Drury's sixth sense of danger? Time alone will tell. Anyway, one can't be shot for hoping and believing that if any coach can do it Howard Jones can.

The relative positions defensively of the ten high scoring teams are shown in the following tabulation: Games Opn's Av. per played scores game 1 Georgetown 29 90 2 Alabama 25 100 3 Pittsburgh 28 134 4 New York TJ. 28 135 5 Washington 31 153 6 Southern Cal. 33 178- 7 Dartmouth 24 146 8 Stanford 30 225 9 Minnesota 24 206 10 Lafayette 27 274 3.1 4 0 4.8 48 6.1 7.5 8.3 10.1 without regard for high point standing and considering all conferences, the ten teams with the best average defensive records show that only one Pacific Coast team, that of Southern California, plaees in the first ten defensively.

IN THREE YEARS SOMETHING IN A NAME Jones Thinks So as Four Jesses Display Ability in Battles for Trojan Varsity Berths BY RALPH HUSTON Shakespeare there was nothing in a name, but anyway: When Jesse Hibbs first reported for practice at the University of Southern California, no particular attention was paid to his name, except to identify him as.

a first-class tackle. And even when Jesse Hill came out for track, nothing startling was done about the similarity of the unusual names. But when Jesse Mortenson added his name to the list by turning out for basketball, Trojan fans began to sit up and take notice that there was something in a name after all, for all three starred violently in their particular sports. he rather dejectedly replied, "I don't expect to win a game." This is Rockne pessimism. "Only one man back," continued Knute.

"It looks like a very bad year." But only one man back at Notre Dame doesn't mean much as nearly every one knows. Will this year be a repetition of 1922, when Notre Dame lost fifteen letter men, yet managed to escape with only one defeat? The Scandinavian mentor wants to maintain his record of only six defeats In the last ten years. Rockne's outstanding player this year is Fred Miller of Milwaukee, the captain. He will be Notre Dame's chief candidate for All-American honors this fall. It is his third year as a varsity player, as It may be remembered that he made good as a sophomore when Joe Bo-land received a broken leg In the Notre Dame-Minnesota game at Minneapolis in 1926.

Miller weighs about 195 pounds. Is 6 feet tall, strong and fast and played fullback on the Notre Dame freshman squad in 1925. Notwithstanding the fact that he is a millionaire in his own right, he Is one of the most modest and unassuming players that Rockne ever had on his squad.

The four who are BY BRAVEN DYER Hundreds of sport lovers in Southern California have been added to the fast-growing multitude of polo enthusiasts through the untiring efforts of the Uplifters polo players during the past summer months. Heretofore polo has been looked upon by the public at large as a strange, but thrilling game indulged in by the idle rich. The new Uplifters polo field situated in Rustic Canyon, Santa Monica, at the edge of Beverly Boulevard, is in full view of the thousands of automobile wayfarers who pass there every Sunday. People who had never seen a polo game before this summer are now ardent followers of the sport. Every Sunday afternoon Snowy Baker, Dr.

Wilson, Eric Pedley, Jim Colt, Will Rogers and the other poloists have devotedly and enthusiastically played the game before an increasing number of excited spectators. Crowds of 2000 and 3000 are no longer a novelty. Steeplechases and whippet races often add to the excitement. Snowy Baker has arranged two new teams for this afternoon's game, which will undoubtedly prove a hot match. For the Rovers the promising 16-year-old son of Will Rogers, Will, will ride at one; A.

w. Little, the Minneapolis player, at two; Baker at three, and Branson at four. For the Uplifters Musaphia, Dazey, Puckett and Dr. Wilson comprise the team. Frank Dazey, who is a screen writer, distinguished himself last Sunday by scoring two goals, while Dr.

Wilson played his usual strong game. Snowy Baker and Jim Colt starred as usual. The game today will be started promptly at 3 o'clock. Boxers Raise Charity Jack Cauliflower Alley did Its bit fcr charity last night at the Olympic where fifty rounds of boxing was presented to a large gathering of fans who turned out to aid the drive for funds for the Florida hurricane victims. Dan Tobey, master of ceremonies, declared that the show was a big success and that a large amount of money was raised for the Red Cross fund.

The results: Frank Burns defeated Sailor Niel-ers; Frankie Boldt defeated Frank Thome; Marvin Rise defeated Frank Petroski; Eagle Thomas defeated Johnny Ryan; Clyde Davis defeated Connor Lowe. BABY JOE GANS WINS OVER TONY VACARELLI NEW YORK. Sept. 29. (TV-Baby Joe Gans of California outpointed Tony Vacarelli of New York in the main bout of ten rounds at the Olympia Sporting Club here tonight.

It was Gans's fight all the way. The Californian outweighed the New York fighter by 146 to 139. GOLF "RACKETS" Members of the Broadmoor golf club to Seattle played a novelty match in which contestants were permitted to violate all the rules of etiquette and encouraged to do every thing they could to rattle their opponents. ANOTHER GOOD STORY Will Rostron of Sidney, with a home-made rifle, made a score of 191 out of 200 shots at Camp Perry, O. The barrel of the gun was made from a rear axle of an old motor car.

AVHrWHHr BY BRAVEN DYER AND GLOOMY the wlngmen list the latter player being the only monogram man left over from last year's crop. At tackles, in addition to Capt. Miller, there are John Doarn, Jerry Ran-savage and Dick Donahue. The guard positions are well fortified, with George Leppig, John Cannon, Gus Bond and Bill Jones. At the pivot post are big Jim Monigan, a Chicago boy, Nash and Leahy.

The quarterback assignment easily can be handled by any one of these three men: Joe Morrtssey, Jim Brady and Frank Carrideo. John Chevigny, John Nlemic, John Elder, Jack Riley, Jim Bray, Moon Mulllns and Billy Dew compose the other backfield prospects. Be it known that Nlemic and Chevigny are both two-year vets; Elder and Riley were members of the Notre Dame quarter-mile relay team that set a world's record in the Texas relays in the spring of 1927. Dew won his monogram as a sophomore last year, playing full, and was converted into halfback during the spring practice. For fullbacks Rockne has "Whitey" Collins and Montroy available.

Collins is a veteran and is practically certain to be a first-string man. He was off to a bad start in 1926, breaking his jaw in the same game that Boland broke his leg. Last year Collins played some great football and should be one of the leading fullbacks in the country this year. Big Game is Sold Out Two Months Ahead STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. 29.

Applications for alumni seats at the Stanford-California big game are being received by the board of athletic control and returned unopened at the rate of 100 a day. In addition to the broken hearts that those will cause, 1000 other alumni hearts are going to have to be broken by the return of refunds, rather than as a response to applications for seats. Middies Given Huge Surprise ANNAPOLIS (Md.) Sept. 29. Losing to Davis and Elkins here today by 2 to 0, the Naval Academy met with a defeat in its opening game.

The first half, during which the Navy held its best backs In reserve, was easily the visitors', but the Navy in the second half took the offensive. Chiefly through the fine running of Arthur Spring, it held the ball on its opponents'' 18-yard line. A fumble, however, smothered its chances. Davis and Elkins scored in the second quarter when Harold Bauer attempted to punt from behind his goal line and the kick was blocked by Curtis. The ball crossed the side line Inside the Navy's goal line and was called a safety.

The game was played during continuous rain and the muddy field made it difficult for the backs to show anything in line of footwork and dodging. Line-up and summary: Naval Academy Davls-ElMin (2) Crane LB. McKlnney Oiese Chappls LT. lO. C.

And while questions are In order why did the Trojan mentor shift Russ Saunders to fullback and Harry Edclson to Inside halfback when Saunders played Inside halfback last year and Edclson full? There are several reasons for the changes and all of them seem entirely logical.

Jones is a coach who makes decisive moves. Last year he decided Morley Drury, an Interference runner, would make a good ball carrier and stuck him in the quarterback berth. Morley made good. Jones derided Barragar, a fullback, would be a strong center. Barragar made good.

Jones felt that Heiser, a halfback, would be a great running guard. Heiser played so well that he is looked upon as one of the finest guards in Southern California's history. V.

The supervision of an Inter-fraternlty baseball tournament in which sixty-five teams are entered Is no snap, in the opinion of Ralph A. Proctor, director of the University of California's intramural sports department. In addition to the minor matters of distributing playing equipment, the umpire problem, the lack of playing grounds on the campus on account of construction work, Proctor's latest problem is to curb the complaints of an aroused citizenry.

The Berkeley Recreation Department granted the fraternities the use of their play fields for 6 a.m. games But they failed to reckon with the natural enthusiasm of the contestants and. the possibility of disturbing residents in the neighborhood. Now Proctor has to figure out a plan of play and conduct whereby none of the neighborhood babies will be disturbed out of their morning naps by overzealous enthusiasts and players. PHIL SCOTT CLAIMS HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE Phil Scott of England has laid claim to the heavyweight championship title, claiming victories ever Johnny RLsko and Tom Hceney, as his basis for assuming the title.

He has Issued a world-wide challenge to any boxer disputing his claim. to the list, when the Jesse of the Shaw clan decided to try out for tackle on the frosh eleven. And now all four are working dally under Coach Howard Jones in earnest attempts to land berths on the Thundering Herd varsity. Every en knows Capt. Jesse Hibbs.

The big tackle was selected for almost every all- Amencan ream oeu. last, year, and is deemed a certainty to repeat. Coming from Lake Forest Academy, where Alonzo Stagg dubbed him the greatest prep tackle in existence, Hibbs promptly began to show his worth by captaining the freshman eleven. He landed a first-string job as a sophomore, made all-American as a junior and now, as a senior, is captain of his team. Jesse Hill journeyed to Troy from Riverside Junior College with a reputation as a broad jumper.

He Immediately proceeded to land a regular Job on Coach Dean Cromwell's varsity, set a coast record which stood good tintil last year, and row, making his first bid for football honors, has distinguished himself with his speed and defensive ability. Jesse Mortenson transferred also, but he came from Gila Junior College, down in Arizona. He came as a basketball player, and proved his ability, landing a forward berth on Coach Leo Calland's Pacific Coast championship squad. Like Hill, he decided to try his hand at track, and succeeded In being good enough to toss the javelin. Now he Is trying football and Coac Jones Is giving him plenty of opportunity to prove his ability as a halfback.

Jesse Shaw came all the way from Selma to play football for the Trojans. And play it he did. He was a big noise on the frosh line last year, and will give anybody a royal battle for a first-string berth this season. Shaw weighs 198 pounds, played three years of high school football at Selma, and Is hailed as Hibbs's successor as the star linesman of the crowd. Incidentally he earned two basketball letters and one track award at Selma.

Also he was glee club president, but hot much has been said about that. Perhaps Shakespeare was wrong. There may be something In a name. after all. At least this particular FooT9AU.

So when Jones suddenly switched his players around Monday night it wasn't so unusual, but nevertheless unexpected. In the first place Jones shifted Saunders bark into the first string lineup because Don Will in ms showed every indication of having a great year, which means that the black-haired Santa Ana boy will play regularly In the signal calling berth. Saunders, you know, had been groomed for quarterback this year. Secondly, Marshall Duffleld, Everett Brown and Rocky Kemp have all displayed a real punch in scrimmage, have looked good on pass defense and have run their respective teams well. This means that Jones has what he considers capable understudies for Williams without calling upon Saunders.

These two points, then, explain the shifting of Saunders from quarterback. But why did Russ go to fullback, rather than to his old inside halfback berth? The to this Is found in Jones's offensive plans for the year which are gradually being unfolded at Bovard Field. The Trojan attack will be more diversified, more deceptive than in the past. More men will carry the ball. Saunders, while he has had only Infrequent opportunities to advance the pigskin, has displayed enough dash and pepper to mark himself as a more versatile ball carrier than Edelson.

Not that Harry Isn't good, for his superb bucking of last season stamps him as a sure three-yard bet practically every time he packs the But Saunders is more rugged and more on the style of Hon Moses, whose departure hurt a lot. Jones feels that Saunders from the fullback position, will come closest to filling Moses's shoes of anybody on the squad. There were other reasons for the two moves. Time was fleeting and Jonea decided he did not want to start the season with an untried man Apsit in the backfleld. Apslt might have made good with a bang and then again be might have failed, in which case the two weeks prior to the first game would have been wasted.

What Jones saw at Stanford in no way influenced his decision, ne made up his mind before be went north Friday night. It's been known all along that Williams, Saunders, Thomas and Edelson were Jones's best backfield combination for they are all regulars from last year. It was a cinch that Jones would use these four in his big games, provided Williams would be able to stand the gaff. But the shifting of Saunders to fullback was not expected. The Trojan warhorse will be up to a lot of tricks this fall, it appears, and Saunders will play an important part In the performance.

There was one other reason for banking on Williams, Duffleld, Brown and Kemp as quarterbacks, rather than Saunders. They have all called signals and carried the ball well. Saunders has not called signals for two vears and Jones felt that the added burden of warbling the digits, along with packing the ball might lessen the pigskin packing ability of a good man. HOW S.C.
