They outgained Coach "Nibs" Price's men in the first period, sent Mell Hufford crash ing to the Bear 2-yard line in the second, and were on their way again, when Johnny Geehaa fumbled and Rusty Gill recovered, five minutes short of half time.

Perhaps Norton didnt even ee in fast and forced Hufford to tarn into the line sooner than the latter had expected.

This gave Griffiths a chance to get in some good work and he did a very effective job of stopping Hufford about two yards from the goal, as this picture shows. The Bears took the ball and the Husky threat was over. it into the second. Two first downs netted 35 yards and soon the Bears were asking: "Who's that knocking at our door?"

(Universal Service.) For want of one accurate toe, the Trojans of Southern California lost another one-point game here today in the presence of 115,000 football-mad fans.

Try for point after touch By FRANCIS O'GARA WITH a single, unrestrained offensive gesture, Lowell humbled Poly, 6 to 0, on Kezar's turf yesterday and automatically presented Mission's Padres with their first Triple A football title.

Following a break, late in the second period, the six Cardinal points won for Mike Voyne'a team, Its fourth consecutive decision over an old and bitter rival In as many years of A. A. A. conflict. Though winning strictly on merit the Lowell outfit was considerably aided by a Henry Decia fumble which immediately preceded the lone touchdown of the game.

Sent into the contest for Joe Bacollnl, Decia, sophomore halfback and big gun of the Sunset attack, started off well enough by. Intercepting Farrls' pass on his own 35-yard line. Two plays later he pulled the stunt which eventually cost his team the winning touchdown, and another crushing defeat at the hands of an old master.

I (AP) A long-, forward pass that sailed through the air, straight as a shot, behind Iowa's jroa! line, gave Old Purdue, the only undefeated eleven in the Western Conference, a brilliant 1 to 0 victory over the Hawkeyes today. Purdue, undefeated in six games, tour of them in conference competition, conquered the Hawkeyes with two amazing aerial shots after tho powerful Iowa line had refused to yield to the smashes of the Boilermakers' great baokfield trio Pest Welch, Harmeson and the battering ram, Yunevirh. Purdue cut loose with it's win ning aerial stroke early in the second period, with Glenn Harmeson, sensational halfback, tossing the passes that moved the Boilermakers within one step of their first chamoionship since the Big Ten was formed 32 years ago. They need now only to conquer Indiana a week hence to become undisputed title holders, victorious in every contest. LARGE CROWD.
