1 CAP) Southern California's
powerful gridiron guns routed the
ramblers of Notre Dame, 27 to 14.
here today. It was the Trojans'
first successful encounter in three
engagements with . the Rockne
men of South Bend. v
Spiking the mighty right arm of
Johnny Nlemic, Notre Dame's
halfback aerial sharpshooter, the
Trojans unllmbered their might
iest guns and a crowd of 80,000
saw' them score three direct hits
on the Ramblers goal posts be
fore their struggle was half over.
So bitter was the salvos of the
Trojan artillery that the Rockne
men were on the defensive
through most of the first two
periods. .
But the Notre Dame troops
which had routed, both the Army

terly demoralised. They launched
powerful counter attack in the
third periad that beat back the
Trojans to tne center or tne oat

John Chevigny away on a 51 yard
dash to score again, as the battle
neared Its end, they battered down
Troy's wall and marched to a sec

That first period drive, when
Notre Dame's defense crumbled

paved, the way. It shattered the
morale of the invading troops and
before the half was over, they
were almost completely In rout
Thus the Trojans made a final
flourish to as fine a football sea

Conference champions, they con
