FOUNDED 1031 EIGHTY-FIRST YEAR Salem, Oregon, Saturday Morning January J1 feimpl VICTORY GOES As Japan's Well Trained Force Started Drive Toward Chinchow r Vast Crowd Sees Southern California Take Cham pionship Pinckert Makes two Touch . downs for win, Score Is 21 to 12 By BRIAN BELL ROSE -BOWL, Pasadena, Calif Jan. 1 (AP) A great football player who has been doing good turns for others for three years. flashed briefly today as a ball carrier and enabled Southern California to win the mythical national championship by defeat ing Tulane 21 to 12 as 83,000 pop-eyed spectators looked on in the annual Tournament of Roses game. Erny Pinckert has been a bril liant, blocking back throughout his college career, good enough for the last two years to rate all-American but he has had a minimum of opportunity to carry the ball. He has spent his football life out in front of somebody else, but today he scored two touch downs, and the Trojans needed them both to. stop the fighting but luckless green garbed team from Tulane university. ( The game marked Souhern Cal ifornia's third victory in , Rose Bowl competition, a distinction not shared by any other team. It was Tulane's first appearance and the boys from New Orleans had no apologies to take back to their bayous. The game was so close and bo hard fought that a break, half a dozen times might have meant the ' difference be tween victory and defeat. Southern CaL Get the Breaks Southern California, perhaps, made the breaks, for its big, strong team never underestimated the strength of the lighter but faster visitors. Tulane outgained Southern California, registering 18 first downs to 11 for the vic tors and the Greenbacks gained 378 yards to 233 or the Trojans. : V - , v.-.-.'
