TROJANS DEFEAT
TULANT21 TO 12
Southern California Win,s
Football Championship
I At Pasadena.
By Paul Zimmerman
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
PASADENA. Cal., Jan. 2 P) On
the scroll of Rose Tournament ln
tcrsectlonal football history was re
corded today the south's first defeat.
A mighty University of Southern
California team which saw Its
breaks and accepted them, turned
tho trick before 88,000 persons yes
.terday by outscoring a gallant green
garbed Tulane eleven 21 to 12 In a
contest perhaps unmatched In the
annalo of the 17-year-oiq classic.
I'lnckert Proves Prowess
, It was Ernie Plnckert, an all
Amerlcan of two years standing,
wh'o furnished the margin of vic
tory by two touchdowns delivered
in quick succession in the third
period, thereby terminating a grid
iron career Darren oi mucn pigsmn
pocking.
After sotting the pace through, the
opening period, Tulane was meted
out somo oi its own medicine in the
form of a 23-yard pass, Orville Moh
ler to Gordon Clark, which gave
Coach Howard Jones' eleven its first
coring chance.
it caugnc me ureenies unpre
pared and placed tho ball on the 28
yard line. Then, massing its mighty
Interference in front of Galus Shav
er, the Trojans escorted h'lm to the
six yard line on a determined thrust.
Hpnrllng Kcores
Here Ray Sparling, left end, Was
called back for the reverse play
which baffled so many foes this
year and he scored. Johnny Bak
er's place kicked for a 7 to 0 lead
at half time. '
I The third period was young when
Plnckert first scored. Tulane had
attempted two drives without muo
ccso and the Trojans one when
Shaver broke' loose to place the ball
,on tho 28 yard line, Erny was giv
en the ball on his one play a re
verse over the weak side and with
out interference he cu,t through
tacklo to score untouched.
Three ploys later ho repeated al
most from the some spot, after Zim
merman had fumbled the klckoff
and Erny recovered tho ball on the
28 yard line.
Orecnlpfl Break Looks
Tired of such proceedlpgs, the
Orcenles hurst loose and staged a
sustained drive of 7fi yards In ten!
ploys from the klckoff to retaliate. 1
plover with a dash of 33 yards put
tho ball on the 10-yard line. Two
playrf later Zimmerman tossed a
short pass to Vernon Haynca over
tho center of the line for a touch
down. Again the Greenlcs scored after
.Mohlcr had muffed the ball on his
85 -yard line. Zimmerman threw a
long pass which a Trojan back de
flected slightly Into Dalrymple's
hands placing the ball on tho three
yard line. Glover slipped across on
his double -reverse.
It was tho Bturdj lino play of Tu
.lano which slowed, Troy's vaunted
power to a pause and It was the
somo group of forwards who made
It possible for the Groonles books
to out-down their opponents 18 to
11, and gain 378 yards to 233 .for
Southern California.
Defense Twice Revamped
That Southern California was
hard put to stop the Green 'tide,
was shown in the fact that It re
vamped its defonso twice during the
struggle. Tulane completed 5 of 10
forward passes. The Trojans suc-i
cccdcd In making only one of five
good, but a touchdown resulted. In
that Instance.
By winning. Southern California
.not only became the national cham
pion, but established itself as the
only team to havo won three Rose
Bowl appearances, Alabama won
.twice and tied once to approach this
mark.
It was tho South's first defeat In
Roso Bowl play.

Sport Slants
By Aiuu J. Gould
(Associated PreSs Sports Editor)
The great reducing process will be
featured by Interesting develop
ments In baseball for the new year.
Will Babe Ruth's salary of $80,000
be reduced to $60,000 or $50,000?
.Will Hack Wilson, completely di
vested of his $36,000 contract .and
traded, stage a come-back? Will the
minor leagues be able to shake off
the death rattle and come back to
profitable life under their reorgan
ization scheme? Will Max Carey
succeed where Wilbert Robinson
failed with the Brooklyn club?
. Unquestionably the big leagues
will make a strenuous effort to
strengthen the second division out
fits, having In mind the advantage
of the keenest available competition.
They were doing very well until the
Cardinals and Athletics ran away
with tho races last September.
Neither club Is likely to do It again
although both undoubtedly will be
favored to repeat.
NET FORCES 8Q,tMBBLK
The old year has gone out with
the tennis forces bickering over the
disappointing showing of the 1031
American Davis cup team. The re
sult will bo to construct the 1032
teum around the slender figure of
Ellsworth Vines of Pasadena, new
.national 'champion and finest sin
gles player developed in this coun
try since TUden and Johnston left
tho International stage. Vines is
now No. 1 man.
Vines, with help from Shields,
Lott and Van Ryn, will be given the
chanco to see what he can do abroad
unless there Is another uprising
against the Idea of making a "tennis
bum" out of a college boy.
Tonnis affairs in this country
have not been the same since France
took the much prized Davis cup
home. Tho policies of tho U. S. L.
T. A. havo been subjected to the
severest kind of criticism, Indicat
ing that Big Bill Tiki en had no
copyright on tho business of squab
bling with tho ruling powers. As.
fo1 example, tho caustic exchango
between Sam Hardy, veteran who
captained the 1031 toom, and Sidney
Wood, 10-year-old member of it.
TROUBLE AHEAD FOR CHAMPS
, With the departure from compe
tition or Bobby Jones, the Invinci
bility of golf champions has van
ished. It will bo Interesting to sec
how many of tho new champions
are able to withstand the shock of
concerted challenges In 1032.
Tho now crop of youngsters prob
ably will be more conspicuous when
Francis Oulmet defends his amateur
crown at Baltimore. Close by will be
Billy Howell, tho Virginia boy who
gavo Outmet his closest match in
tho 1031 tournament. There arc
others equally as promising.
Blllio Burke, who hod to go 72
extra holes to win the national
open, will bo lucky to win . again,
flno a golfer as he Is. With Jones
missing, this and most of tho other
big tournamenU nro "open" in every
Bense of the word.

Game Body Will
Continue Work
On 10-Year Plan
PORTLAND (JPi The Oregon
state game commission has redcdl
.cated Itself to what was described
"a constructive and consistent
program to make Oregon famous for
fun."
K. L. Kelly, supervisor, In ex
pressing through The Associated
Press New Year greeting to all Ore
gon sportsmen, Baid: ''Oregon, be
cause of its scenery, climate ' and
marvelous natural resources, Is one
of the most delightful countries In
which to live or visit. The game
commission cannot improve natural
Bccnery nor issue orders to the
weather man, but it Is Improving
tho state's greatest outdoor asset
its wild life."
'The accomplishment of this pro-
erom." Kcllv sold, in sneakinz of the
slogan mnko Oregon famous for
fun "Is a tremendous undertaking.
Few people realize that the Wlllam
etto valley section alone is as large
as somo eastern states having as
much money as Oregon has to'apend
in carrying on fish and game work,
yet (he Willamette valley Is but a
tenth of Oregon s area. In addition
this state is divided into four prln
clpal sections, the Willamette valley,
tho Coastal region, Umpqua nud
Rogue rivers section,' and Eastern
Oregon, each of which Is topograph
ically and climatically different! and
roquiros individual solution of game
Conservation problems."
"This program," Kelly continued,
"known as tho 'ten-year plan- Is
now in operation and although, it
has JUBt recently been put Into ef
fect, considerable progress has been
made and 1032 will be a year of re
sults." Matt L. Ryckman, superintendent
of hatcheries, reported that from all
Indications fishing should be good
,ln Oregon In 1032. His department
will libera to this spring 1,437,000

East OutsJides
West in Shrine
Contest, 6 to 0
BAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2 m
Gridiron stars from east of the Mis
sissippi river outslid their Western
foeo 6 to 0 by scoring a touchdown
in the first quarter of the annual
San Francisco Shrine charity foot
ball game yesterday.
Fans agreed there was no ques
tion as to the superior team In rain
soaked Kezar stadium yesterday.
Tho West made a gallant fight, and
.twice a stubborn-goal line defense
kept the'powerful Eastern., ball cor
ners from digging their 'cleats in
scoring turf after advancing to the
five yard line, but as for a Western
offensive threat, there was none.
The West squad was rich in tal
ent for passing and the wide open
stylo of play, but never had a
chance to use It. The Western
weather man turned his. back on
hie own sons and drowned out their
chances for victory. The field was
soaked at the start of the game,' and
min started falling Boon afterwards.
The players quickly worked the
middle of the gridiron Into a quag
mire that gave no footing for pass
ers and runners. '
. Strength of the Eastern line was
tho most brilliant spark of a game
that lacked thrills for the spec
tators. Pitted against the best for
wards of famed Western elevens,
.such giants as Hickman, Marvil,
Hoffman, McMurdo and Chalmers
dominated the game and time after
time blasted holes through which
Hinklc, Russell, and Morton gained
momentum that carried them well
into tho West secondary defense be
fore going down.
Ten first downs for the East as
against one for the West, that on a
penalty, is a representation of the
comparative offensive strength of
the teams. The East a&vanced a
.net 'total of 138 yards, while the
West gained Just ten more yards
than her backs lost on the slippery
battle ground.
Of seven passes, five by the West
and two by the East, none was com
pleted. Merle Hufford's punts, most
of. them carrying well over forty
,yardg. provided occasional sparkle,
but for the most part potential bril
liance of both teams was shroud
ed by dull, dripping skies. .
No Time Limit
For Match Here
Tuesday Night
Two new develonments In refpr-
enco to tho coming wrestling match'
between Count Harkovsky and How-)
ard Cantonwlne, added zest to local
sports gossip, today.
Ono was that the contest will be .'
a no time limit affair, best two out i i
of. three falls to decide the winner.
Police Gazette rules will be followed
and In a no time limit match, they
provide that after a knockout, the
wrestler may have 10 minutes in
which to return to the match. In
tho cose of a double knockout, such ;
as was witnessed here .two weeks
ago, the matc.li, is halted -until both
men can return. ' ' V 1
Tho other development ' was tho ;
announcement that Ray McCarroll,
local promoter and heavyweight
wrestler, will meet Cliff White, of
rDenver in a one-hour time limit
preliminary grapple.
Efforts are olso being made to
lino up a boxing preliminary for the
card, which will begin at 8 o'clock
Tuesday night at the Eagles hall.
