THURSDAY, TANUARY 2, 1930 PAGE SIXTEEN PASADENA POST ft iftH im itii- 2l yit izt Canto Uobleio and Young Sport Meet Tonight in Main Event at Arena TROIAN VARH0RSE PLUNGES THROUGH GOLDEN PANTHERS ARE COOKED GOLDEN BROWN BY WARRIORS OF TROY By PAUL B. ZIMMERMAN', Associated Press Sports Writer Burdened with a decisive 47 to 14 trouncing handed them as a New Years Day greeting from the mighty Trojans of the University of Southern California, Pittsburghs grid squad prepared to return to its native heath, victim of the most decisive defeat ever meted out in the 14 years of Tournament of Roses competition. The Golden Pitt Panthers, who dug their cleats into the turf of the historic battleground ve'terday, intent on revers Meeting lor the thud time vi hat is heralded as one of the most interesting grudge fights in the history of the Pasadena Arena, Young Sport and Canto Robleto will exhibit their wares to boxing fans the six-round main event at Mor rie Cohans auditorium tonight. Former Champ Young Sport, former western amateur flyweight champion, took the decision in the fist clash of these flashy boys. Robleto, who was a prelim fighter at the arena six months ago and has developed into a big darwlng card at the top of the program, came back to get revenge in the second engagement.

The rubber battle will attract every fight fan who saw the previous ones, for these little fellows pack 50 rounds of action into six. They are both clever and game, and this case mighty sore at the opponent. Stutts Ilouk Stutts Houk, a middleweight, who hails from the RKO studios, will appear in the six-round semi-final against Joe Williams, a newcomer fiom New Oi leans. Joe is mighty black and plenty tough and anxious to get going in this vicinity. The six-round special event presents Bennie Rodriguez and Foster Manola, two good flyweights, who are both familiar figures at the arena.

Four-round pieliminaries will be: Battling Geysel vs Frankie Burnell, 145 pounds: Hector Aquilar vs. Frankie Manns, 126 pounds. The show will start at 8 30 oclock and ladies accompanied by escorts will be admitted free. ik lnaixed by Duffleld. af.tr his pss to Jess Morttmen had placed the ball within the shadows of their opponent goal.

Trailing 26 to 0 as thev went Into the second half, the Panthers mustered a rally, going to the air for a pair of touchdowns. Uansas pass to Bill Vainchm, and Harold Williams flip to Paul Collins, two of the four completed tosses out of the 19 attempts, were responsible for the eastern elevens points These came in the third and fourth peiiods. Complete Rout Figures tell the story of a complete rout. The determined S. C.

combination turned In 454 yards, compared with 285 for Pittsburgh. Thanks to Uansas startling 68 yard run, the team from the Smoky City held the edge in yardage from scrimmage with a 199 total against 167 for the men of Troy. It was the passing attack which wrote Pittsburgh doom. Southern California completed half of its 16 attempts for 287 yards, while a quarter of Pitt's 19 efforts netted 87 yards. The invaders were outdowned 14 to 10 and outpunted 40 yards to 37.

Coach Sutherland offered no alibi. It was not the heat this time, he said My team's defense simply went to pieces before the Southern Cailfornia passing attack. I havo seen few teams function better than Coach Jones aggregation. ing a 7 to 6 beating administered in 1928 by Stanford, left the greensward, bowed in their first defeat of the season because they could not solve the puzzling Southern California passing attack. Score Quickly Beginning with the initial touchdown, which came only a few moments after the 70 000 persons had filled the stadium, the men of Troy found scoring possible in four of their seven tallies because of unerring aerial work.

A fifth counter was indirectly the result of a long pass and the others were the results of plunging, driving football. The Trojans left no element of doubt, no possible out, for their opponents. The uncomfortably warm weather, which was expected to cut the invaders down after a period or so of play, was left with the task of finishing what Coach Jones men had started. The Panthers, with a quartet of All-Americans the lineup, saw the glory of individual performance stolen from them by a group of U. S.

C. gndsters who shattered the famed Pitt defense with abandon. Toby Uansa, one of these All-American selections, opened the conflict with a dazzling 68 yard end run on the first play, following the opening kickoff, but fleet Russell Saunders, U. S. C.

safety man, cut him down fiom behind, 18 yards sho of th goal Then, when the Panthers had failed to ciack the Trojan lme for the necessary yards, the touchdown parade for the Pacific coast representatives started. Saunders pass to Harry Edelson caught the Pitt secondary defense flat-footed and the Troy halfback scored. Before the first quarter had ended, Saunders repeated the bitter dose, this time placing a long toss within reach of the racing Ernie Pinckert, Edelsons mate at right half, and U. scored again. Aerial Way Easy Satisfied with their aerial thrusts, the Trojans reverted to straight football, with Marshall Duffield skirting the Panther end for a touchdown, after a Pitt fumble had been recovered on the 18 yard line.

Again, before the half ended, point Press telephoto of Harry Edelson, University of Southern Cailfornia halfback, scoring the first of U. S.

C. buried the easlerners undr a 47 to 14 score. While everyone else in Pasadena was talking about football and the big parade the golfing members of the Fire Department went down to determine who should have the Kellei Brothers tiophy for the ensuing six months. Considerable interest has been added to these semi-annual tourneys due to the fact that the fust smoke eater to win the cup three times receives it permanently and S. H.

Edmondson has two victories to his credit already. O. Kusihe Wins O. Kusche nosed him out this time when he scored an 80 and an 86 which with his handicap of 0 deducted from each round gave him a net score of 143. Edmondson w'as close on his trail.

In fact his gross score was the same as he turned rounds of 81 and 85 but his handi cap is only 7 so his total net score was 152 or four strokes behind the winner. C. L. Bolz and George Kmney have also one leg on the cup to their credit and the race will be a tight one from now on al though the next tournament will not be played until the last of June or the first of July. Sixteen members of the Fire Department played in this event.

Long Beach Open The stage is all set for the Long Beach Open tomorrow. There will be two qualifying days, Friday and Saturday, as the field of entries is so large that it will ben ecessary to divide them into two days for qualifying. Eliminations will be made on Saturday night and the finalists will play 36 holes on Sunday. All rounds will be played over the Long Beach Municipal golf course and the scores registered. in the qualifying round will count in the fmal reckoning as it is a 54 hole affair Walter Hagen won last year and is being favored by many to repeat again this year although his record to date this fall has not been any too good However, Sir Walter is the kind of a golfer who can rise to supreme heights.

He Is one of the smartest players the game and although he appears almost careless at times and always seems to be enjoying himself he has remarkable powers of concenti ation and is the master of every golf shot the bag lira ton Smith is another gieat golfer. He is 15 years younger than Hagen and so locks much of his expeiience but he is a mighty sweet plaver. Leo Dicgel is in top form and Fred Morrison of Midwlck and Eddie Loos of the Pasadena Golf club might come through at any time. Both of the local professionals have plenty of ability and might win any tournament they enter. Tt Wasn't Weather This Time Says Jock When the oatteied Pittsburgh Panther limped fiom the Rose Bowl yesterday after its encounter With the Trojans of Southern California, the woist defeat ever administered a team coached by Dr.

Jock Suthaland had been hung up. Prior to yesterdays 47 to It tback, the total scored against a Sutherland team was 23 points, made In 1919 by Penn against La Fayette. No team has come within half of the 47 total against a Sutherland Pitt team. substitutions. Jones team was strengthened by his first substitutions and became an even greater menace, while Jocks changes put fresher but less capable men into the fray.

There is not a team in the Umtd Stats, and that includes Notre Dame, that can match substitutes with the University of Southern California. Saunders was excellent and deserved the mighty cheer which marked the end of his active football career for U. S. C. Duffields feet moved faster and were directed with perfect judgment by the gray stuff under the red helmet.

Ills long end run to the south end which netted him a touchdown was made by the clever manipulation of those feet, speeding, slowing, cutting, turning. Beautiful! The Pantheis passing was poor in three departments. In the first place only one double passpossessed any deception above the ordinary. The others looked like the gesticulations of dying men grabbing straws. Secondly the general delivery was poor with but one exception In the second half, when Eaker let the ball fly with grace and ease of a Grecian god.

Finally the receiving was not well timed. Often when the ball was there the receiver was still running and turned for the catch too late. All these may be added to a sterling Trojan passing defense. And now a good part of that 47 to 14 score is easy to understand. The enthusiasm of the crowd dropped somewhat after U.

S. C.s second touchdown. After that they settled themselves down and viewed the craftsmanship of Howard Jones. They marveled at the smoothness and tireless operation of the human machine he has designed and marveled in retrospect over the genius of Knute Rockne. Power, even though it be exemplified by four All-Americans, is not sufficient in itself to overcome forward passing.

So much we know now for sure. So much was taught to us yesterday by two football teams doing their derndest in the Rose Bowl. We know that foiward passing as a last resort is doing the maneuver an injustice. The mental strain that accompanies any last resort only makes the delicate work more difficult. Pittsburgh's power showed itself more in the defense of line plays than in any offensive driving force.

The Panthers long end runs with the ball carrier describing a wide and backward arc were most successful when the men of Troy charged in and ineffective when the faster Trojan secondaries galloped out on a line with the runner. The first Pitt play was one of these and had the great All-American Uansa been faster than the unnamed All-American Saunders the visitors would have possessed a psychological advantage at the start. Jock Sutherland, full aware of the wearing ability of the Trojans against rival teams and rival fans, bravely and certainly with more optimism than good judgment, attempted to match man for man with Howard Jones the matter of DALLAS, Tex, Jan. 2 7P) "Power football, as plaved by ao all-star aggregation of midwest players, held a decisive 25 to 12 victor today over the famed aerial system of southwestern teams as presented by the southerners yesterday in the annual Diue classic. Fifteen thousand fans watched a group of young giants from the north, headed by the redoubtable "Pest Welch of Purdue, shatter a southwestern all-star line to pieces and effectively muss up almost every southern attempt to take to the air.

Near the close of the second half the southern team utilized a pass to tie the scoie at 6-6 but thereafter were distinctively outplayed. Rebholtz of Wisconsin and young of Detroit scoied twice each for the midwest, young counting on passes from Welch and Holman of Ohio.
