The shadow of Knute Rockne stalked in the Coliseum today and struck terror into the heart of Troy struck through the hand of his disciple "Slip" Madigan and a white jerseyed little band of Galloping Gaels from St. Mary's, who fought to a standstill through three quarters of football and were nosed out In the final momenta when lack of reserve strength told on 4hcm. The final score was lv to 6, but It does not tell the tale of heroic human courage of the band from the North, fighting against the strongest team in the South and exchanging thrust forthrust until the final quarter when an avalanche of Trojan power pushed over two scores which broke the deadlock the Saints had tielU from the second half.

And when (he Gaels broke lose In a power charge In tlin third quarter ami plowed across the Trojnn line to tie the score at six all, a chill fear swept the Trojan camp at the remembrance of a day three years ago when this same band of Uallopinx Gaels find ridden rough shod over the Trojan horse and left a perfectly good footbull reputation dismembered uml in the duet. The areserve strength of Troy, with Its cavorting colt, Don Williams, riding through the last quarter, was too much for Madi-gan'a men, and in the final minutes of play two scores spelled defeat for the Moragans. Even then, with the forces of Troy pressing on their goal, the 'great Gael line refused to buckle, and held the impact of the famous Trojan cut-back play after the Trojans had made first down on the six-yard line. Three times the Moragans held the shock of Howard Jonas' power machine, without giving a yard, and on the fourth down Lloyd Thomas flipped a pass to Williams who scored. Then In the final quarter, with the Saints buttling desperately to retrieve the score, Stennett's pass was Intercepted st mid-field, and the Trojan machine ptnrted te roll out Its yardage, Williams swept down the field for 15 yards, shot Inside tackle for five more and then battered his way to the 1 1-yard line.

From here, the Trojans battered their way across. Fighting grimly against this sadden twist, which had turned the tables on their early march Into Trojan territory, ths Gsels battled back and for ths rest of ths half the Trojans were unable to make yardage. In the third quarter the Moragans sprang Into the attack, after holding tlie Trojans to (limns on their 40-yard line.
