pionship Pinckert Makes two Touch

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.
