Those who saw the SC play ers knocked galley west by the Bruins are pretty well convinced that they have gone from bad to worse.

One of the prize puzzles of the season win be "What will Frank Leahy tell his lads about the Trojans?" What can he tell them, as he tries to get them ready for Saturday's game? rie certainly can't tell them anything they can believe, unless he tells the truth and gays they "should knock the Trojans loose from their girdles. Randall Clay, rookie from Texas, was the star in the winning touchdown drive, which traveled 80 yard3 in four devastating plays. -Clay started -the onslaught with a sweeping burst i arpund hi3 own left end that carried 56 yards to the Eagles' 24-yard line. He got a magnificent key block from Bob McChesney to start him away on his brilliant romp. Gene Roberts picked up 6 yards, Clay chipped in for 2 more.

Then Clay tucked the ball under his arm and boomed around right end again as Philadelphia defenders were strewn on the damp sod and hiked the remaining 16 yards into the end zone.

To begin with Red says he likes the single wing because it combines both deception and power. STRONG SEQUENCE He points out, "In my opinion the tailback series to the strong side with 10 men blocking is the strongest sequence of plays in football. It is obvious that thi3 series will not have as much deception as some of the intricate plays or double and single-wing spinner plays that waste anywhere from one to four men in faking. We spend many coaching hours at UCLA' in trying to develop thi3 series to the point where we can conceal the exact point of attack as long as possible." Red also says, "Some coaches believe that the modern trend toward trickery and deception has made the single-wing fullback buck series pld-fashioned football.

Our linemen, however, refer to this group of plays as one that separates the men from the boys." MORE POWER He is of the opinion that the single wing has practically all the potentialities of plus more concentrated power. In the single wing most any of the play cycles can be run from a flanker or man in motion as in the T. End3 and any other linemen can be split as in the to give blocking angles. The buck lateral off the single wing gives the same effect as the fake dive and pitchout. In addition, the single wing can meet the defense better.

And the system can throw more pass receivers deep. And what is very important, since there are fewer single-w I teams, the result is that many teams are completely unaccustomed to meeting the system and naturally have difficulty defending against it. For confirmation, ask the Trojans. In closing today's treatise, wish to thank the Bruin rooting section for that swell yell Saturday. Nobody has given me nine rahs since I tallied a safety for old Pomona back in the dark ages.

SMART CHOICE If anyone was happier about the outcome than Red Sanders I presume it was Wilbur Johns, director of athletics at Westwood.

Because Wilbur, your- see, was the man who, some said, went out on a limb when he hired Sanders. Westwood has waited a long, Jong time to give the Trojans a good football pasting. There were some pretty horrible scores back there in the dark ages and the Brums just had to grin and bear it.r Saturday night ft was the other way around, at long last.

cylinders again? The blocking with which the Bruins blasted their foes must have been doubly embarrassing to old-time Trojan fans because it was so reminiscent of the late Howard Jones. If you want someone who's completely "sold" on the single wing, Sanders is your man: And his entire coaching staff feels the same way.

The Rams came up with too little too late, scoring both their touch downs in the fourth quarter after tne Midway Monsters had iced the contest by piling up a 24-0 lead.

The series was interrupted during 1943-44-45. Terrific Tie Although the Trojans haven't won since 1939, they scored one of football's greatest upset3 by tying the Irish, 14-14, here in 1948.

Only a superlative 87-yard ninback by Billy- Gay, plus a penalty, enabled Notre Dame to escape defeat that day. The present Trojan team has shown no such recuperative pow and it worked. Trailing by 20 points in the third quarter, apparently beaten, the Incensed Santa Clarans struck back twice by land and twice by air to slide past Loyola, 2S-26, as 15,200 fans went wacky in Gilmore Stadium. String" Snapped The upset and Saturday's results should have given a hint of what was to come snapped Loyola's unbeaten string at 12 straight and left them crying on the outside as far as any big bowl aspirations were concerned. For two and one-half quar ters Loyola could do no wrong.

Santa Clara was unable to penetrate past the Lion 34 in the first half and there' was too reason to suspect that things would change as suddenly as they aid. Bropcs Work But once, the Broncs began to roll, they made it look so. easy it was difficult to understand why they took so long to get going.

John Daly, a Hollywood boy who learned his foot-ball ironically enough at Loyola High, swung his Size 9-C at the ball and sent it winging for the first of his four successful and gamewihning extra point Ick Blocked Once the Broncs tasted touchdown-blood, they got thirsty. Loyola took the kickoff back to its 23, lost yard in three plays and Fullback George Musacco went back to punt. Musacco got the ball 'just a split second before the Bronc front wall got there and hs kick was smothered in a flurry of white shirts-" with If o. 64, Guard Don Bordenave, apparently the first one aboard. Guard John Justice, anotner, boutn-lander who was acting as -co--aptain along with Halfback Ben Moran, recovered the ball on Loyola's 15.

The series stands 13-6-2 in No tre Dame's fayor. Frank Leahy's eleven has lost three, games to Purdue, Indiana and Michigan State and was tied by Iowa, 14-14. This is Notre Dame worst record since 1933 when Hunk Anderson's last team lost five games (Purdue, Pittsburgh, Car negie Tech, SC and Navy) and was tieq by Kansas. In 1942 Leahy's second team dropped a pair and was tied twice. Worse Bad as it is, the record of the 1950 Notre pame team isn't nearly as bleak as Troy's--which is SCs worst of modern Victory over the Irish, then, would be doubly sweet to the unhappy Trojans.

Anybody who can conjure up such a thing, however, must be rated eligible for all-time presidency of the Op timists. The Notre Dame-Trojan series, ope of the football's greatest ln-tersectional rivalries, dates back to 1926. It began with a 13-12 win for the Irish oyer a team captained by Jeff Cravath. Of the first six games, three were decided by one point and a fourth by two points. The 1927 and "23, games were played at USF Air Attack Wrecks Detroit Eleven, 35-13 NEW-YORK, Nov.

25 A battling, bruising New York line made three gallant goal-line stands and made a first-period touchdown stand up to beat the Philadelphia Eagles; 7-3, and send the Giants into a first-place tie with idle Cleveland in-the National Football League's American Division. The Giapts' victory on a muddy Polo Grounds field before well-chilled fans all but eliminated the Eagles defending league champions from the 1950 title race. It was the first time since' 1942 that the Eagles had been held without a touchdown. New York, trailing in the opening quarter after Cliff Pat-ton's 24-yard field goal for 3 points, came right back to put over the winning touchdown. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov.

26 Sharp passing Quarterback Ed Brown had a field day as he completed throw after throw to give University of San Francisco a urprisingly easy 35-13 victory over an ineffective Detroit team at muddy Kezar Stadium today. A cloudy day crowd of 11,783 law the reputedly deadly Detroit passing and running attack bog down completely, harassed constantly by the hard-charging San ancisco line, while Brown's accurate, long passes literally riddled the Titans defense.
