When the scalping party was over the Trojans of Southern California had a 33-to-O football triumph dripping from their war belts. It was the most hu miliating defeat in the 21-game rivalry between the two schools. Fifty thousand persons, who went out in the vain hope of seeing a contest, must have stayed through the second half and into the dusk to get some thing of their money's worth be cause the game was over early in the second period.

THORN II ILL'S LAST TEAM? Coach Howard Jones' eleven, or twenty-two, or thirty-three as you please was rolling and could just as well have made it a G0 to-0 slaughter. The squad that probably will be Coach Tiny Thornhill's last at Stanford was ineffectual, disorganized, discour of the National Tro League stars, all of whom are going to show their wares In the annual Pro-Bowl game to be held here Jan. 7, under the auspices of The Timesi Few ofthe stars who are blazing brilliantly in the league's greatest year made any of the more prominent all-star teams during collegiate days and several of them were scarcely heard of outside their own conferences. DRAKE OVERLOOKED John Drake of the Cleveland Rams, who at current reading has piled up -18 points as the leading scorer, cut considerable of a figure at Purdue but not enough to catch the eye of the all-America pickers. Bill Os-manskl of the Chicago Bears, who is second out with a total of 42, got lots of press notices at Holy Cross but little more than that.

Even Joe Maniaci of Ford-ham, now heading the ground-gaining list for the league as a Bear, didn't get very far in his collegiate December. But he's good enough in football's major league to roll up 501 yards to date for a 7.1 average. HALL TOPS PASSERS Parker Hall, the Mississippi Mudcat, who is the season's most successful rookie, is the exception to the rule, although his name, appeared on only a few all-America teams last year at. that. This Cleveland backfield star not only has averaged 4.2 yards every time he carried the ball but he has completed 60 passes for 827 additional yards, which gives him a .461 throwing average and the league leader in passes.

Then there is Perry Schwartz cf California, now an end for Brooklyn. Perry played on Cal teams that had 'sundry ail-Americans, but he didn't make the grade. Yet he leads with passes caught. The total is 23, for 424 yards gained. POPULAR SPORT The names of these and numerous other stars head the list of votes by fans from the Middle West and East, who now are competing in a contest staged by The Times to select the all-star combination that aged over its fifth defeat in a dismal season.

For Stanford, only Norm Standlee, pile-driving fullback, stood out. For Troy the stars were many, with Grenville Lansdell, Doyle Nave, Bob Harry Smith and Bob Robertson he standouts. The victory was costly for Troy, with Jack Banta, second-I string fullback, and Bob rie 1 Lauer, second-string left tackle, suffering knee injuries that may keep them out of the Notre iDame game at South Bend two weeks hence. HILL HENRY SAYS WBft iiLlwtfffi'airiiHH im Hillfrr itMt 4 You have to give the Stanford rooters a bouquet for their sense of humor. The exchange of courtesies clear down to the amusing "well, all right," and "chop, chop, chop," exchange.

The crowd enjoyed hearing Bill's voice over the loud-speaker system during the intermission, and gave the Times' war correspondent nice applauce. Credit for this thoughtful stunt of bringing Bill back to the peaceful Coliseum for a few minutes should go to Ralph Chick, who made it possible.

The way these letters, with selections "pouring into the office from cities where the National League teams perform, indicates the growing popularity of the professional brand of play and gives proof that the Pro-Bowl event is the best piece of grid entertainment in these United Slates, bar none. But getting back to All-Americans, while this department doesn't believe in them in any way, shape or form, they are destined to be with us always, like the poor.

WASHINGTON PRAISED In this connection, Bob Kahn t( the California Daily Bruin iports staff complains in typical fophomoric fashion that Kenny Washington of the U.C.L.A. team has been overlooked by the uptown sports writers. Bob, whom i sincerely hope will mature to a sports writer of greater sagacity, shows a lack of understanding or appreciation or both and his confined point of view should not detract from the merits of a truly great backfield star. Kenny is the best back we have on the Coast this year and was one of the best two years ago. The fact that his play was less brilliant in must not be held against him because his help from teammates also depreciated.

GREAT OX DEFENSE Kenny's greatness probably is not so much his accurate passing ability, nor his elusive running. We have several backs on the Coast who throw as well or better and one or two who could match his ball-packing efforts. But there is none who combines these two tjualities with the blocking and defensive ability of Washington's caliber: Kenny's forte in running with the ball is his straightarm which is one of tht best in the business. What he lacks in the Speed of a Jackie Robinson or a Bob Peoples is more than offset by clever footwork, driving power and that menacing stiff-arm. About the only thing he can't, do better than any other back is to punt.

Now Kenny probably has had more written about him in three years and rot without cause than any other player in the West, a fact Bob Kahn probably wouldn't know about. OTHER RACKS The Coast's backfield talent is pretty well confined to California this fall. (Jrenville Lansdell. his passing and punting Improving as the season advances, has stamped himself as the best of Troy's quarterback Turn to Page 2,1, Column 2 The Mustangs, fighting back hard, counted their points mid in caliber. It's a terrific football club.

If you try to slop their running attack they pass on you, and if you play back for passes they run you dizzy." Thornhill thought his Indians U.S.C. Stanford An injury to big Jim Kissel-burgh, Beaver fullback who had to be taken from the game in the third period, slowed Oregon State's offense, but the Orange-mens' stalwart line held the fort after an explosive 50 seconds at the start of the second half scored two touchdowns. The half ended with O.S.C. leading 10-7. The Beavers extended the lead to 17-7 when Boh Olson took Jay Graybeal's kick-off on the 7-yard line and ran 0.3 yards for a score.
