' Whitman- Rises Hlini Put on TaUofTroy5 Thrilling Flying: Trapeze Play Shown to West; Final Score 10-0 By PAUL ZIMMERMAN MEMORIAL COLISEUM. Los Angeles, Oct. 1 2. - (p) - Southern California's comeback hopes were rudely crushed here today when Illinois unleashed an amazing display of football pyrotechnics to defeat the Trojans, 19 to 0, in the west's first big intersectional en counter of the season. Fifty thousand thrill-drenched persons watched the fighting II lini play almost letter - perfect football as they made and took advantage of the breaks and then passed their more ponderous op ponents dizzy. The theatricals started in the second period after Troy, had managed to hold the invading big ten team on a little better than even terms. A blocked punt paved the way for Coach Bob Zuppke's eleven to score its initial touch down in that period, but the Hlini aerial circus made it. The second came directly from a blocked punt and the final counter, in the third period, was indirectly the result of the aptly named flying trapeze pJay. Troy Looks Good In defeat Coach Howard Jones' team showed occasional flashes of its old-time power, with Nick Pap pas carrying the baJl-packing bur den, but the game cost Troy one of its best players, Bill Gaisford, a brilliant sophomore end who suffered a broken collarbone in the first period. Attempting to punt on fourth down caused Southern California to pay the dear price of the first touchdown shortly after the second period opened. Elvin Sayre, center for the II lini, crashed through to block Papnas' punt and, while Southern California -recovered the ball, it belonged to the .invaders on the Trojan 40 yard line. Lowell Spur geoa drew la the secondary with a thrust at the line and then start ed the pass throwing. He tossed to Wilbur Henry for IS yards and the Quarterback west onto the 10. Then Henry tried his hand, throw ing the ball to Gene Dykstra, who was nailed on the six. Spurgeon took his turn at flinging then, with Henry catch ing the ball on the 1-foot line', where he was spilled. Henry promptly employed the quarter back sneak to cross the goal and the game was won. Southern California, with Pap pas doing most of the work, made a stirring comeback to carry the ball to Illinois' 34 but a pass over the goal line failed to click and the middle-westerners drove their opponents back immediately with an exchange of kicks in which Kenneth Nelson had a marked edge over Pappas. Block Punt Agal n Once more Troy waited until fourth down to punt and Nelson broke through to block the kick on the Southern California 40. He followed the bounding ball back to the 30, where he picked it up and made a lone-man run across the goal line. The lightning fast Hlini were not satisfied, however. They wanted to show the west an open game of football as it should be played. Ar exchange of punts again worked Troy back into its own territory as the third period opened. It took Illinois just two plays in which to score from Southern California's 46. It was the famous flying trapeze play that put the ball on the 1-foot line. Henry took the ball after a double reverse and regained pos session again on a lateral from Bob Grieve on his own 45. He threw a long looping pass to Spurgeon, who by this time was standing unguarded on the Tro jan 20-yard line. Immediately he whirled and dashed for the goal line, but stepped out of bounds a foot short of scoring. Once more Henry employed the sneak play through center to score.

Eiil Pair Will Clash Tuesday Bulldog Jackson to Meet Paddy Nolan as Fans Boo Them Both When Greek meets Greek they start a restaurant, but when Bull dog Jackson of Grand avenue meets Paddy Nolan, the Irishman who looks like a Greek, there will probably be hash , made out of somebody. The two terrific terrors will clash In th main event of the all-star wrestling card which the American Legion stages at the armory Tuesday night as a grand finale to grappling until after the special session of the legislature is completed. Jackson, known from coast to coast for his ungentlemanly tac tics, has sensed a threat to his un popularity in the comic strip Irishman, Nolan, and has vowed to wipe up the mat with him. Nolan, specialist in the Boston crab', downed Mickey McGuire last Tuesday much to the dismay of the grapplemaniacs to whom the name of Nolan is anathema. The spectacular, must a c h 1 o e d Mick shines as a crowd dlspleaser. Piluso Meets Fisher Ernie ' Piluso, who is as popu lar as the main event grappler3 are disliked, will meet Clayton Fisher, rough and tough newcom er from Oskaloosa, Kansas, in the second event of 30 minutes dura tion. Piluso, who made records as a Multnomah club matman before turning pro, is on the way to be coming one of the big names In the grapple racket. Herb Parks, larrupin' lumber jack from the north woods, will tangle with Jack Prudent, hard hearted grappler from Oshkosh who will be making his first ap pearance here. Parka, disliked by the mob, is a maimer of the first water and the second 30 minute bout should be a thriller. Totem Pole Anderson, lanky lad from Seattle, will mix with Al Williams in the 30-mlnnte opener. Anderson, whose unfair tactics brought on him the wrath of the multitude last Tuesday, is a tough guy of the top rank. Track Record Set CINCINNATI. Oct. 12-J -John T.

Seldom has such football drama been packed into sixty minutes of any game. Almost before the tense, howling fans had settled in their seats, Minnesota had scored. From then on until the finish it was a desperately waged conflict. with the Cornhuskers rallying magnificently in the fourth period and missing two chances to win the game by inches. Big George Roscoe, Minnesota's 175-pound left half-back, grabbed the opening klckoff and galloped 74 yards behind massed interfer ence.

The victory, elimaxing the ten year coaching regime of genial Bill Spaulding, came as a stun ning upset to Stanford rooters while 25,000 -cheering fans gave the plucky Brums a rousing ova tion. Twice conference champions and beaten by a coast eleven for tbe first time since Washington turned in a 6 to 0 win, October 28, 1933, the defeat of the favor ed eleven was written around the old theme of "lions in mid field and lambs at the goal line." Extra Point Decides The red-clad football men who flashed through the last two foot ball seasons brilliantly hut tailed in miserable fashion in the na tional tests at Pasadena's Rose Bowl on New Year's day of 1934 and 19 3 S, made all the yardage, all the first downs but the score board's story was one of a place kick that travelled true and one that wobbled without aim. Stanford scored midway of the first period with Bobby Grayson, 1934 Ail-American fullback, go ing over the last yard. Moscrip's place kick on the try for point was wide.
