A record crowd of 100,000 saw the home team win its 19th straight game and move a step closer to a second national championship in two years. The crowd set a new atten dance mark for football games this season In the nation and was the biggest assembly ever to witness a game in Los An geles. The record crowd saw a record performance. The Tro jans made history for their seven years football war with Notre Dame for this was the first time the Howard Jones team has won twice in suc;esaive seasons from Its rival. Notre Dame, however, continued to hold a one game margin for the series, four to three. Southern California rode to victory on the flying feet of Ir vine "Cotton" Warburton, a pint sized quarterback, a sensa tional catch of a forward pass by Bob McNeish and a series of well placed quick kick. Warburton Points Trojans to Victory Warburton, little lut fast, started his team in the road to the first score in the second period by returning a Notre Dame punt 39 yard to the visi tors' 44 yard lire. The little fel low dashed to the 30 yard lice on the next play. Notre Dame called a halt through the line then, but Homer ilriffith on fourth down, with the ball on the 31 yard line tossed a pass to McNeish who made a sensational catch over his head two yards from the goal line and stepped over. A quick kick in the third period was fumbled by Chuck Jaskwhich, Bob Erskine recover ing for the Trojans on Notre Dame's 26 yard line. Southern California moved on to a second touchdown by successive running plays. The home team used the quick kick to advantage, throughout the game, booting the ball over the head of the Notre Dame safety men and three times grounding the ball inside the visitors' five yard line. Once the ball game to rest less than a yard from the roal Hue. Notre Dames offense failed to function during the first three periods but came to life with a bang In the closing quarter, when it was too late. Notre Dame was not in " Southern California territory during the first period, assum ing the role of invader for the first time in the second period when the elusive Mik Koken sidestepped h's way to the 43 yard line. The visitors did not get past the center of the field again until the final penoa. At the outset. Jaskwhich. finding no a.iilahle pass receiver, ran with the ball and v.-as .brought down on S.

Laurie Vejar, a Hoi';;, wood boy, then shot one to Sheekrtski on the five yard line. The drive was stopped w'iK'ii (iviffith intercepted a pass on his ow.i nine yard line. The Trojans kicked out but Notre Damo was riKht back knocking at the door with an other long pass from Lukats to Melinkovich, winding up on the 13 yard line. An incomplete pass over the goal line foiled this, the 1 last effort of the South Bend j contingent. Notri Dame gained 131 yards on seven com pitted passes from a total of 17 attempted. Southern California completed only one pass of eight but this toss was good for a touchdown. The visitors outgained the home team and scored twice a3 many first downs but the Ram blers carried the ball more. No tre Dame never kicked on third down while Southern California consistently p'inted when two plays had failed to negotiate a first down. Ban s Requires Open Air lfressing Room The game was a rough, tough affair, marked by hard line play. Larry Stevens, Southern Cali fornia guard, and Steve Banas, rttnre uame ruiiback, were ejected from the game, just be fore it was completed, for hit- ung m the clinches. m 1 . . - iam comeay rener to a ver serious game was furnished by Nick Lukats in the final narirul when he lost 4iis trousers In a melee. He was hurriedly escorted to the sidelines, holding his ap parel. The Notre Dame players on the bench made up a ring about the embarrassed player and in this fresh air dressing room ne aonneo another pair.

AP) Borrowing basketball shoes from their brother hoopster3. football players of the University of Wash ington rolled up a track meet score against the West Seattle Athletic club, winning 66 to 0 in a charity game on a frozen field in the Washington stadium today. Outsmarting their rivals by don ning tennis shoes, the Washing ton Huskies traveled over the hard ground like the icy wind that chilled the 10,000 spectators and chalked up ail 10 touchdowns in the first harf while the Yellow jackets, coached by Bob Mathews, were skidding and falling on their cleats like ice-skating beginners. It was a different story in the second half, however, when West Seattle faced Washington on even terms after a rush call for rubber shoes. The clubmen, the niaioritv 0f wnom are former Washington irL fim VIC Aut it just goes to show that "you neter can tell'' In foot ball when a couple of teams which are pretty evenly match ed ct together; whether they are team without an apparent weakness, sadi as those which poumied a-h other In the Los Angeles Coliseum yesterday, or a couple of samllot pickup out fits. O As we saw it, these were tho factors which won for Southern California: 1. Thoso quick kicks which came when nobody was back to receive them, and which account ed for yards and yards. 2. Two breaks, consisting of Warburton's punt return (giving the boy all due credit but still ailing it a break) and the recov ery of a hobbled punt, which was bobbled, by the way, in an at- enipt to get back and stop one of those quick kicks.) 3. Howard Jones' genius which evolved the pass play which scored that first touchdown; a scoring" play which crossed up the secondary defense. It was a fourth-down pass but that was no great matter of strategy, consid ering the position. 4. The Trojans' punch which carried the ball 26 yards to score after getting the second break. The big surprise, to us, was that Griffith's final plunge from the two-yard line succeeded. They seldom do. But the radio didn't describe it; maybe Hemer pulled something else out of the scor ing play' book. Aside from the breaks, it was the qnhk kick that turned the trick.

Brace MAT HERE -o MALLORY and Gonzaga stars, held the Husky third-stringers scoreless In the last two periods. The first half was nothing short of comedy with the Yellowjackets unable to move on the icy surface. West Seattle played more of a "touch" football game in the first two periods, for about all they could do was touch the big Wash ington backs as they scampered for three scores in the opening quarter and seven more in the sec ond. In an effdrt to stop the rout, the clubmen removed their shoes and played in their stocking feet In the second period but this stunt proved even worse. West Seattle threatened only once when it passed to Washing ton's 15-yard line in the last per iod hut the rfarch was stopped when an aerial over the goal line was knocked down. the Irish were just as good, but we'll never know whether, giv en the same breaks, they w ould have been able to score. O With Robin Reed back in the vicinity, the question naturally arises, is he gunning for a title match with Henry Jones, hoping to regain that world welterweight wrestling belt, and will he get it that is, the match? Answer to the first part of the question Is, "don't be silly." Answer to the second part, we are informed by the secretary of the Salem Boxing and Wres tling commission, depends on negotiations which are already under way. Jones, now the champion, is holding oat for the same guarantee which was given Reed when he was cham pion, $500. O That would seem eminently fair, except that the commission is not convinced the traffic will bear it, and while the commis sion is in the business largely for us health, it doesn't like to see health come too high. We under stand the commission is making a counter proposal. Then we shall see. Smi'l DEFEATS SALEM Y. STAYTON, Dec. 10 (Sneclall Friday night the Y. M. C. A. basketball team of Salem came to Stayton and after a hectic 40 min utes left with the short end of a 38 to 14 score. Stayton, using its fast breakinr offense, caught the Y. team off guard many times. At the half, Stayton held a sub stantial lead, 1 to 8. Immediate ly after the half, Stayton began to click smoothly, the baskets coming In a steady stream until tho final whistle blew.

"Bulldog" Mallory from Bos ton, a tough middleweight who can also make the welterweight requirements and may later clash with some of the leaders in that j division who are In circulation around the northwest, will make his bow Tuesday Bight in the first contest of the evening, meeting Jack Mitchell of New York. It was Mitchell who romped all over Jones a couple of weeks ago for one round, then was taken ill and fell an easy victim to the strawberry grower. The fans didn't suspect it right away, but Mitchell was a sick man be fore he ever entered the ring; it didn't show up until after the first fall, but persons who were in the dressing room are not entertaining any doubts as to his illness. That may have been due to the change in climate, as he had just come here from Gotham. Mitchell has regained top con dition, and the fans who saw him la that first round are confi dent that he will show plenty of stuff against Mallory. Mitchell liminaries to the behemoths in j Madison Square Garden. Not much is known here of Mallory. except that the a'dvance notlcen mark him as one of the tough ones, and he 1 -s an ambi tion to show enough stuff to en title him to a match with Henry Jones or Robin ReM in the near future.

The National league will open the three-day session with their annual meeting Tuesday, the American league will meet Wed nesday and the joint session of the two bodies will be held Thurs day. Except for a few clubs, such as the New York Yankees, Boston Braves, Brooklyn Dodgers and Chicago Cubs, baseball did not do so well at the gate in 1932 and further economies must be made the coming season.

Among other suggestions from club owners are to further trim salaries, shorten the training seas on, ban radio, encourage field days d special day,, and trade play- J an ers. The question of reduction of salaries holds much dynamite, the magnates feel, as the players took cuts right down the line from Babe Ruth to the bat boy laat year and any effort to further reduce salaries may bring on a wholesale holdout war. It appears probable each owner will be left to settle that problem. One suggestion almost sire to he adopted is that of a shorter training season.

Indeed there is every likelihood that the blood-in-the-eye crown that comes to Salem next month to cut expenses under the dome. will find a budget so urasucauy trimmed the taxcutteis will quick- , ly be converted into tax-defenders nd proponents or a mguer oua- get. For example: Hanzen saia last week he would recommend abol ition of 1308,000 continuing ap- DroDriatioES for higher education. These have gone principally for agricultural experiment work ana to match federal and county mon eys for county agent activities. Already farmers who nave crieo. loudest for tax-reduction are de claring this cut is made in the wrong place. No Direct Tax On Extension Work Hanxen's plan, be it known, was not to bring loiai aoonuuu ui these functions but rather to make it Imperative that funds for their support come from the 14, 500,000 mll'.age income provided biennially for higher education. Hanzen thought that striking out the continuing appropriations would enforce economy in higher education sufficient to allow some of the matched-appropriat;on ac tivities to remain. For the next four weeks every merchant of the Btate, every con sumer who cares a whit about state affairs and taxation, every county court harassed by lak of funds, every banker witn tiozen county, city and district sec urities in his portfolio, la going to be studying what the special session should do. All of these masses are affected. Whatever the special session does or does not do, it will open wounds and create injustices. Ev idently Governor Meier wishes to avoid the full responsibility for resulting bad feelings; he has outlined the state's problem, he has shown his willingness to con vene the machinery to work out a more equitable situation, but the final decision must rest with the 90 duly elected representatives ef the people, who if they are wise, will do much studying and listen ing and not too much talking, in the forthcoming four weeks of decision on tax matters of vital importance to every citisen In the state.

EMPLOYMENT DATA FACES LEGISLATURE Unemployment relief apparent ly will be included among the large number of knotty problems to be considered by the 1933 leg islature when it convenes hire January 9. This was indicated Saturday when Governor Meier received a letter from R. W. Wilcox of Port land, chairman of the state relief committer, urging legislative as sistance in combatting the unem ployed problem. The letter point ed out that the relief campaign is a state function and should be so considered by the legislature. "The state relief committee has given careful consideration to ways and means of meeting the unemployment situation," the let ter read. "A survey of the state is now in progress and data soon will be available showing "-hat the count'es are doing to combat their own problems. The rpport of the committee also will indicate how long the available funds will last, and tho agqresate require ments for the year 1933. It is too much to hope that the state can carry the entire bur den, and we anticipate the neces sity of further appeals to the Re construction Finance corporation. These appeals will not be made until the state has exhausted Itr resources." LODGE WINS FIRST Woodburn lodge. 102.
