Troy's Thunderin wamps io Nave Opens Scoring Spree Amby Schindler Runs i 66 Yards on Punt Return for Touchdown nerd Outclassed IIB BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN Old Sol and El Trojan turned on the heat at Memorial Coli seum yesterday and before the sizzling gridiron cooled off those Southern Californians had steamed to a 26-to-0 triumph over a parboiled Illinois eleven. Fifty-five thousand sweltering spectators saw Doyle Nave set off the scoring conflagration in the second period while the sun still was blazing down. AMBY AMBLES Sol had closed shop for the day when Coach Howard Jones finally turned off the heat by taking out red-hot Amby Schin dler after the San Diego specter had chased his way 66 yards on a punt return for the final score. The temperature was up to 91 degrees when the struggle started but that was nothing compared to the Trojans by the time the third period had transpired and the Fighting lllini were wilt ed down to a shadow of their original rugged selves. CIRCUS FOLDS UP This story would not be complete if we failed to report the fact that the Zuppke circus, widely advertised, folded up like a sideshow in a tank town.

It was late in the fourth period, when the Trojan fire was out, that the invaders chalked up their first first down. And as for the much-discussed "black-out" defensive play, it was there, but Southern Califor mmmpmmm rr-v i I r- nia was the team that used it. Only the spectators sizzled when the contest opened with Grenville Lansdell piloting the Trojans. Southern California did make two first downs in the period, getting as deep as the AMBY'S OVER Here's "Desperate Ambrose" Schindler, Troy's great quarterback, plowing over the Illinois goal line from the 4-yard line in the third spasm of yesterday's game at the Coliseum.

Incidentally, Coach Bob Zuppke's team missed the only chance that it had all afternoon in this period when George Ret-tinger muffed a chance to inter cept one 6f Nave's throws with the field wide open ahead of him. After that happened, Doyle punted as nice a kick as you hope to see into coffin corner, but the ball, instead of going out of bounds, bounded to the 2-yard line. Ralph Ehni, lllini quarterback who had been doing a splendid piece of kicking, punted out to his 45 and Nave ran the ball back to the 34.

Oregon's first victory over California since 1926 had significant conclusions. For Oregon it continued a sustained march down the corridor leading toward the Pacific Coast Conference championship.

The Oregons now have a tie and two wins in the race. THIRD SETBACK California's opening conference appearance also marked its third loss of the season. Before starting on the title grind, the Bears took it on the chin from little College of the Pacific and the St. Mary's Gaels. The game itself developed few thrills.

Oregon hammered to its touchdown in the second period starting from its 24-yard line. On 11 line plays it crossed the goal line, Fullback Marshall Stenstrom ramming over center for the final yard. One sweep outside right end by Substitute Right Halfback Bob Smith for 25 yards marked the advance. Jay away the Mustang hopes.

After all, this is Bill Henry's spot in The Times and I'm something of an interloper while he writes war pieces from the Western Front, so it is with all humbleness that I turn the column back to him for a day. London, Sept. 23. Dear Paul and Sports Gang: I keep hopping around in circles so rapidly here that all I need is the proper costume to closely resemble the Whirling Dervish which is my excuse for writing a line to the whole gang instead of separate notes. It looks as though I might get across to France with the British army in a few weeks Bill is there now and if that happens the letter sending will be quite infrequent so I thought I'd get it off my chest right now.

SPORTS COLLAPSED Swell of you to write, Paul-toughest thing to get is news from home. Most trans-Atlantic service is so interrupted that newspapers don't get here very often and unless you're lucky enough to be on hand the moment they arrive they're gone. Sports collapsed in a heap over here when war was declaredlargely because the government forbids the gathering of large crowds. Things have relaxed now and the greyhounds are running everywhere and horse racing will be started in a mild way pretty soon. When the Irish St.

Leger was run the other day two of the best horses from England didn't get there to run because crews of steamers crossing the Irish Sea wouldn't sail, until their ships were switched from Irish (no extra insurance) to British (war pay) registry. Many of the best horses and greyhounds were shipped to Ireland at the outbreak of war. FOOTBALL STARTS They started up football soccer and rugby again here. The two big attractions, the New Zealand Rugby League football team and the Australian Rugby Union (amateur) team, both had to sail back home. The Australians never got to play at all and the New Zealand-ers played only twice winning both.
