BOWL DEFEATS PITT AVENGES PREVIOUS HUSKIES BLANKED 21-0 BY EASTERN GRIDDERS Daddio Emerges Hero With Outstanding End Play; "Washington In Lone Threat (Continued from Page One) a punt, and twice in the closing1 3 Panthers by breaking loose for a PASADENA POST, SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 2, 1937 ROARING TO VICTORY WITH PITTSBURGH'S PANTHERS Broncos Upset L. S. 21-14 In Sugar Bowl Aerial Attack Proves Undoing Of Hosts In Thriller seven-yard The ball was on the Pitt 30-yard line, when Quarterback Logg called the signal for an intricate lateral. Wiotrack snapped the ball to Haines who lat-eralted to Logg. Logg jumped into the air and sharply threw backward and down what was intended to be a lateral for Nowogroski.

Nowo-groski, however, wasn't there. Daddio was. Charging into the middle of the play, the Pitt end stopped the ball in flight with one arm, gathered it in tightly and was away. Caught napping, the Huskies didnt have a chance to catch the brilliant Paifther who was in full stride be- TEMPESTUOUS TAKES $5000 ANITA EVENT Five-Year-Old Gelding Triumphs As 25,000 Racing Fans Crowd Arcadia Plant By BILL AMIS Tempestuous, a five-year-old gelding which has a record of winning better than half of his races for 1936, scored his second straight victory at Santa Anita yesterday when he took the $5000 added New Year's Stakes after a stirring drive down the stretch to beat off a challenge from Sangreal. Race Favorite The winner is owned by Mrs.

T. Stevenson of Canada, and went to the post yesterday at about 4 to 1. paying $10.40 to win. Sangreal fought hard to catch Tempestuous through the mile and one-sixteenth race, but was never able to get on top, although he was always close to the pace. Giant Killer closed steadily in the stretch to take third place, holding off a late dash by Howard, which got away last but wound up in fourth place at the finish.

A. A. Baronis Goldeneye, winner of the Christmas Stakes at a mile, was never a dangerous contender, although he tried to move around the stretch turn. However, he soon faded in face of the pace set by the two leaders. The heavy condition of the track caused several and the field numbered only seven horses at post time.

Behind the four leaders were Ariel Cross, Goldeneye and Bright Plumage. Despite the competition of the Rose Bowl game and other New-Year's Day attractions, a crowd of more than 25,000 turned out for the day's racing, playing a total of S631.258 through the parimutuels. The weather was excellent at the start of the afternoon, but later it became cloudy, and occasional sprinkles of rain fell, although not enough to make it uncomfortable. Lovely Day Wins Favorites had pretty much the best of it throughout the afternoon as the races ran fairly true to form. Lovely Day, slight favorite in the betting, took the opener, with an outsider.

Quotum, finishing second, ahead of Snap Judgment. Maddest was favored in the second, and won in a photographic finish, with Mar-dromcl. Euxine ran a steady race to take the show. In the third, Brilliant Rose closed with a mad rush on the rail to win over Chryscis, which had led into the stretch and looked like the winner. Tiny Kitty, the early leader, held on for the show, by Rudenia, top favorite, was never in contention.

Proclivity, the favorite, and Port-den, second choice, finished in that order in fourth, followed by Jens Son and Cerro. The days first lung price came in the fifth when Bahamas out- California sports -writers, not the Pittsburgh Panthers, defeated Washington in the Rose Bowl, Coach James Phelan of the Huskies said last night while his players rubbed the bruises they received from their 21-0 walloping. "The newspapers that ridiruled the Panthers when they were picked for the game made the Titt team mad. They made Jock Sutherland mad. But all they did for me was to stop my boys from pointing toward a tough football contest.

Pittsburgh was hot, smart, and had too many reverses, Phelan said. Return Next Year? The Washington players were unusually cheerful as they stripped off their uniforms. They were just a Above is Pittsburghs Marshall Goldberg taking a reverse from Frank Patrick to start the Panther march to the opening touchdown with five minutes remaining in the first quarter. Goldberg hugged the sidelines and ran 18 yards to Washingtons 45-yard line. Remember? The Washington player on the ground with the large No, 62 is Jimmy Cain, halfback, while at the extreme right is pictured Vic Markov, Husky tackle, No.

65. And in this shot is Bill Daddio, the game's hero, making a devastating tacklq on Jimmy Johnston, Washington halfback, during a punt return. The other Pittsburgh player coming to Daddios assistance is Stephen Fetro, guard, No. 53. 5 minutes of the game.

Besides th" one that was staved off by the gun, P.tt was stopped on the two-foot line seconds before, only to have the Huskies kick out with the Easterners bouncing right back through a 40-yard pass from Leo Malarkey to John Wood. That opening placed the hall on the four-yard stripe and with but four seconds remaining, there was time for but one scoring attempt. John Dougcrt, substitute fullback, was thrown out of bounds on the four-yard line after a wide end run and the game was over. Cash In On Breaks All three of Pittsburgh's touchdowns followed either a Washing- ton misplay or a poor performance, which indireftly were caused by the determined charge of the inspired Panthers, The first score came when the game had progressed 13 minutes, the result of a 55-yard march in eight plays. Opportunity knocked for the Panthers when Halfback Jimmy Johnston's Washington kick went out of bounds on the Pitt 45-yard line, for a net gain of only 20 yards.

Goldberg contributed an 18-yard gain on a reverse and Bobby La Rue stepped outside his right tackle for another 25-yard advance for the majority of the distance needed. Frank Patrick, fullback, plunged over for the touchdown from the one-foot line to give Pitt its first six points. Bill Daddio, the most brilliant performer of the day, then made his first of three successful conversions fo give the Easterners a 7 to 0 lead, the score at the half as well. Shortly after the third period started, Hensleys interception of Haines pass on Pitt's 25-yard line again sent his teammates on their way. This time a 75-yard drive, covered in only seven plays, placed the Panthers in scoring territory, Patrick again ploughing through the vaunted Husky line from the three-yard mark for the tally.

The quarter was six minutes old when Daddio converted, making the score 14 to 0. The concerted march moved rapidly when La Rue dashed nimbly through the entire Washington team, ably supported by Goldberg's blocking, for a 40-yard gain. The 165-pound senior Pitt halfback was in the clear, madly sprinting toward the goal line, when up bobbed 187-pound Ed Nowogroski, Washington fullback and rated the "toughest Husky of them all. It didn't appear possible that the bulky Nowogroski could catch La Rue, but he did, felling him from behind with a diving tackle on the Washington 30-yard line. With 30 yards to go, Patrick went into action under full steam.

He hit the Husky line for five yards over the Huskies' acting captain and center, Johnny Wiatrak; he added two more and then drove over All-American Max Starceviehs guard for seven to the Husky 16. A fake reverse found the reliable Patrick again packing the ball, the result being a 13-yard gain to the three-yard line from where lie scored. The Pitt fullback averaged six yards per try in carrying the pigskin the five times necessary to earn the six points. Pitts final touchdown furnished the real highlight of the game and further established Daddio as the hero of the day. Sutherland had sent in his second string for the second time, and the infuriated Huskies unleashed an aerial attack, cleverly mixing shovel passes with forwards and laterals, that had the record crowd of close to 88,000 people standing and shouting with excitement.

With the ball in its possession on its own 14-yard line, Washington engineered an even 50-yard drive through the air to Pitt's 36-yard marker. The Panthers were bewildered as Frank Waskowitz threw a shovol pass to Henry Wise on. the Washington 20 and Elmer Logg followed it with a 20-yard throw to Waskowitz, playing the ball on the Purple and Gold 40-yard line. Seven more yards were added when Waskowitz passed to Nowogroski, and still 17 more on a beautiful lateral play, Haines to Waskowitz. to Logg.

Haines then crossed up the With Auburn a reverse, ran to a touchdown. Jimmy Fenton pluce-kicked tire extra point. Villanova's score came early In the fourth period when three Wildcats broke through the Auburn line to block Fenton's punt from the gnat line. Matthew Knber, burly Villanova guard, fell on the Irallirt for a touchdown. Bill Christopher, substitute quarterback, booted the tying point.

fore the Washington players knew what had happened. Plays Inspired Game Daddio's inspired play recalled the superlative game turned in by Pasadena's Keith Topping a year ago for Stanford when the Indians won from S. M. 7 to 0. Besides scoring a touchdown and adding three conversions for nine Pitts- burgh points, Daddio shone equally in defense.

So speedily did he rush cown the field on punts that Washington's two safety men, Haines and Johnston, were bottled up all during the afternoon. Leaving the field, six minutes before the game ended, Daddio was giver, a rousing tribute by the crowd. His name, along with those of Patrick and Haines must be added to the R.ose Bowl hall of fame. In every respect, Daddio was an All-American yesterday. The same can be said for Washington's "By Haines, a sensation in (Continued on Page Seven) Old System Is Revised T0jAid Pitt New Wrinkles Added To Warner Style By SPIG FASSETT Three long games.

It was three long games in the Rose Bowl before Jock Sutherland brought a winning Pittsburgh team to Pasadena. But when he did what a team! Glenn "Pop Warner, father of the system of gridiron play which scored the stunning 21-0 victory over the University of Washington, was in the press box yesterday afternoon. Rip Off Y'ardage His shoulders must have lifted with pride, his chest expanded a bit more than usual, as the power reverses he taught "Jock Sutherland years ago when the tight-lipped Scotsman was a player for him, ripped off the yardage around Washingtons two ends. They said a "power team could not beat Washington, did they? Well, heres one doing it and doing it with the same type of play which failed against Columbia, which failed against Alabama, which failed in the earlier years against Notre Dame when "Pop was coach at Stanford and he had the greatest of the great, Ernie Nevers, at fullback. II was a vindication, in a way, for nobody could say Washington was a "pushover." The fine Minnesota eleven had found it anything blit that.

Different Touch But there was a difference and perhaps even the old master could learn a lesson from one of his pupils. The game was only a few minutes old. Pittsburgh, after one exchange of punts, had roared its way inside the Washington 10-yard line. Here fans familiar with the Warner system as Pop taught it at Stanford leaned back in their seats and wafted for Pittsburgh to bog down as Washington tackles and (Continued on page Seven) Pitt Proves Powerful Following are statistics of ntls-burgh-Washington football game yesterday: Pht.

(U.R) Santa Clara brought a fine brand of football to the south today, featuring an aerial circus on a muddy field, to win from Louisiana State, 21-14 before a crowd of 40,000 in the Sugar Bowl. The Southeastern Conference champions, hitherto unbeaten this year, was stunned and helpless before the brilliant blocking and pass defense of the Broncos from the little college on the Pacific Coast.

Every Santa Clara man executed his assignment to perfection and usually the L. S. U. runners found themselves stranded with no interference. Thrilling Game It was a thrilling game for the crowd and a hard one for the teams.

The ball changed hands six times on intercepted passes and there were 24 punts which kept the ball moving from one side of the field to the other. In the heat of the battle, Tinsley indirectly accounted for one of the L. S. U. touchdowns by keeping his head when Pete Foley, Santa Clara end, reached across the line of scrimmage and struck him on the head.

Tinsley did not retaliate. Foley was chased from the game and Santa Clara was penalized to its five-yard line. The subsequent punt dropped on the Santa Clara 20-yard line as it slipped off the side of Pavelko's foot, and L. S. U.

drove to a touchdown in short order. Santa Clara scored in less than ten minutes of the first period. Crass had punted weakly to the L. S. U.

44-yard line. Derosa outran Tinsley after the Louisiana end broke through the line and prevented his pass, Derosa stopping on the L. S. U. 27-yard line.

Falaschi then heaved one of his well-aimed passes to Gomez, just short of the goal, and Gomez raced on to score. Lucky Punt A lucky punt by Pavelko accounted for the second touchdown a few minutes later. The ball rolled out six inches from the Louisiana goal. Crass kicked it back 25 yards from whore Pellegrini passed to Finney for a touchdown. Louisiana scored in the last minute of the second quarter.

Tinsley made it after taking a pass on the Santa Clara 40-yard line and racing to the goal in his one outstanding run of the day. Santa Clara scored again in the (Continued on Page Seven) Lou Salica Winner In Ten-Round Bout STOCKTON, Jan. 1.

"Washington will be back next year, Byron Haines yelled across the room as he rubbed his back with a thick towel.

Asked how he felt when he dropped a pass on the Pittsburgh 8-! yard line, he shrugged his shoulders. "It skipped past my fingers, he said. Fritz Waskowitz, who flipped the pass, said he thought the throw was long. "I slipped. Just a fraction of an inch, but that was too much.

The Huskies praised Bill Daddio, Pittsburghs All-American end. Max Starccevich, Washington guard and another All-American, said it was John Chickcrnco, Panther quarterback, who "gummed the works for us. Chick's blocking on the short side spin was almost unstoppable," Max said. "He came through like a locomotive.

Jones Easily MILWAUKEE, Wis Jan. 1. (U.R) Middleweight Champion Freddie Steele thumped old Gorilla Jones all over the ring tonight, easily defending his world championship with a 10-round decision over the former title holder. Steele smashed through the Gorillas tight defense with vicious flurries in every round, finally dropping the challenger for a count of three in the seventh round. One round was even.

A holiday crowd of 5700 witnessed Steele's first title defense since he defeated Eddie Babe Risko at Seattle last summer. The Gorilla's only weapon was the snaking right hand that brought him recognition as the National Boxing Association champion in 1932. But Steele, forcing the fight every inch of the way, continually drove the challenger away and received fewer than a half-dozen severe blows. Heaven, W. C.

What It Meant The full realization of what the victory meant to the Panthers came to the writer as he stood on the steps leading to the dressing rooms and greeted Acting Captain Bill Glass-ford as the latter came off the field two minutes before the final gun. Glassford, playing his last game, was tired, mud-stained, slightly cut about the face from his bruising contact with the earth as he broke up the Husky plays at his guard position, but he refused to go up the stairs until he knew that the ball had been turned over to his team. As one of the trainers tried to urge him toward the showers Glass-ford said: Okc.v, but first Ive got to see that football In our hands." When congratulated on the victory Glassford answered: "We had a good ball club this year." After the players had trotted up the stairway to the dressing room, Coach J.

B. "Jock" Sutherland followed, absolutely refusing to make any comment but intent only upon personally congratulating his "boys."
