RATES 'PRINK OF ST. MARY'S DOWNS E METHODISTS 18-6 STARS IN TORI CLASH LOS ANGELES. Dec. 9. (P) South m California came from behind to day to defeat Washington 13 to 7 and go Into a tie with Stanford and Ore gon for the football championship of tne pacific coast conference. The final game of the season left the leaders deadlocked each with four victories and one defeat. Some 33, 000 spectators saw the season's end. The Trojans won the game in the second period when the elusive Cot ton Warburton scored two touch downs, cashing In on mistakes of the Huskies. The visitors had stepped out In front on a touchdown In the aes ond period, a pass play from Walter Hansen to Bill Smith netting 59 yards. Warburton was the difference be tween the winning and losing team. The boys from Seattle could get the rest of Southern California backs off their feet but not the scooter. The mighty mite was practically unstop pable while he was In the game. His activities were confined to approxi mately half the closing contest. Bill 8mlth wu the Washington star making two sensational catches of passes, and playing a bang up de fensive game as well. Southern California had a wide margin In rushing plays and finished with 15 first downs to five for Wash ington. The winners gained exactly 300 yards, while the Huskies were re stricted to 80. Each team tried 11 for ward passes, the Trojans daringly tossing the ball In the game's latter stages, chancing an interception and possible touchdown. Southern Cali fornia completed five passes for 106 yards, and Washington made three good for 105 yards. Coach Jimmy Phelan evidently thought his first stringers could not stand the heat, so he turned over the starting chores to the reserves. The unsung heroes held Southern Cali fornia for downs on the five yard line soon after the game started and a few minutes later Intercepted a Tro jan pass inside the 15 yard line. Mighty Boot Art Ahonen helped the cause of the Huskies no little with an amazing kick netting his side 73 yards, this great boot leaving the Trojans almost talking to themselves. In the dying minutes of the first period. Phelan sent In his first string and the big fellows at once made a first down rushing and another on a 20 yard pass to Smith, the perUid ending with the ball on the southern California 13 yard line. . The scoring chance was lost tem porarily when Paul Sulkolsky fumbled on the goal line and the Trojans took the ball a foot from scoring territory. Cal Clemens kicked out but Bay Horn beak lugged the ball back to the IS yard line. This drive finally wound up on the three yard line, a fourth down pass from a fake kick formation land ing the ball In the end zone. The visitors could not score when close to the goal line but they made good long distance effort. With the ball on the Huskies' 41 yard line. Hansen passed to Smith, who eluded the Trojan defensive backs and ran 89 yards for a touchdown, all alone at the end of the sprint. Smith made the performance com plete from a personal standpoint, by kicking, the extra poini rrom pig ment. Penalty Helps Troy A poor punt gave the Trojans the ball on Washington's 34 yard line early In the third period, and with Warburton carrying tne bail on prac tically every play It was moved to the nine yard line. A fourth down pass was Intercepted by Hansen but Washington was penalized five yards for holding on the play and Southern California took the ball on the four yard line and a touchdown followed, The wav to the second touchdown was paved almost Immediately Sul kolsky caught the klckoff and came plunging up the field under a iuu v head of steam, but fumbled when Uckled on the 38 yard line, Southern California recovering. Warburton clipped off eight and Wotkvns ran to the 13 yard line. On the next play, Warburton took a lat eral pass from Clemens and dashed across the goal line, lust Inside the boundary. This time Stevens kicked the goal and the scoring was over v for the day. The San Francisco Bulletin Uuda Prink Calltson, University of Oregon football coach, as follows: "But as great as Tiny a' success has been, Prink Calll son's has been Just about as great and even more dramatic. 'Prink used to play center for Oregon. Later he coached at Medford HI, where his brilliant suc cess caused htm to be called back to his alma mater as freshman coach. "His selection aa head coach after the resignation of Doc Spears met with considerable opposition. Ore don didn't want a graduate coach. Prink' wasn't colorful enough, he was too quiet and reserved (did you ever meet Benny Bterman, Clark Shaughnessy or Wallace Wade). Just because his stuff went well at Med ford Ml and with V.6 freshmen was no reason to suppose he was ready for the head coach lng Job. 'No, they said, 'Prink is a good ooy ana we want him to remain as frosh coach, but we must get somebody like MacEwan or Spears with a lot of prestige.' "Prink thought he could handle the job, and so did some of his friends. Finally, after a long wait, .be was selected for a 'courtesy year or two until finances Improved so they could get a really high-powered coach. Prink got along fine last year, and this years record speaks for Itself. The home town boy made good In a big way. "Yes, Oregon has good material, but that material knows what this football game la all about. They have a stubborn and Intelligent de fense and a brilliant, powerful and deceptive offense. 'Prink' Calllson tought It to them. It may be and probably Is the same old stuff that Medford HI used, but It's still as sound as ever. Good material alone wouldn't cross up a great defensive left half like 'Slip' Madlgan's George Wilson. There had to be direction there, and George was deceived com pletely out of position on Oregon's two scoring plays. Any team that can fool George down on the goal line has an offense. "So Oregon ought to Join Stanford and California In tinging We've got 'em, doggone 'em; let's keep 'em.' KEZAR STADIUM, San Francisco, Dec. 9.
