Mighty Trojans and Bears Sustain Early Season Grid Reverses TROY SQUAD, 19-0 Warburton Bottled Up and Bounced Around All Day Victors Used Tricks and Breaks to Gain Victory ALERT ST. MARY'S By Brian Bell (Associated Press Staff Writer) COLI6EUM. Lob Angeles, Oct. 8. (AP) Washington State outplayed nd outthougnt- Southern California here today to send the Trojans down to defeat In their first Pacific ooast conference, game, 10 to o. Fifty thousand excited fans saw the fighting Cougars make the breaks work for them In the first half and then score on their own In the second half after the first two periods had resulted In a score less deadlock with few serious threats. Washington State played smart football and would not be denied, Babe Holllngbery's boys had a lot of tricks In their bag and pulled most of them out during the after noon to confuse the pupils of How ard Jones. Irvine Warburton, Southern Cali fornia's midget all-America quarter back, was bottled up most of the day and was bounced around the field with considerable abandon by the hard charging Washington Stat The little fellow did not have enough Interference In front of him to go places as he did last season. The victory marked Washington State's first success over Southern California since 1030 when Holllng bery's team won the conference championship and played for v'ae west In the Rose Bowl at Pasadena. Last year the Trojans won 33 to 0. A fumble won the first touchdown lot the winners. After an exchange of kicks left the ball in Sou thorn California's 39 yard line Chrlstoffrr- sen started on a reverse. He fum bled but picked the ball up quickly and although the Trojan had an easy chance to toss him for a aevtm yard loss, they stood, making no effort to tackle him, and he decided to do something on his own ac count. He dashed 39 yards to the touchdown and Mel Johansen ran , In added the extra point with a kick from placement and dashed right out again. Chris toffersen nn through the whole Southern Cali fornia team without a hand being laid on him. In the fourth period a poor kick gave the Cougars the ball on South ern California's 40 yard line and after two smashes Into the 11ns fail ed to gain, the two Eds combined again to good effect for their side, ; Ooddard passing to Brett, who short of the mark. caught the ball over his shoulder on the 20 yard line and ran over the goal line unmolested. In the lent minute of play, Dwlght Bcheyer, a substitute tackle, grabbed pass almost before Oar Matthews turned it loose and sprinted 37 yards for the final touchdown. The .t two tries for extra points were wide of the mark, possibly because Jo hansen remained on the bench hut no Washington State player or sup porter seemed to care .ibout that. Southern California played good d'fenselve ball In spots but suffered enough lapses to lose the game And the Trojan offensive never did get under way. The Trojans had their best chance to score In the last mln ute of the first half when four passes were fired In quick succession, playing against time, from the Cou gars' as yard line but all failed to connect. A 7 TOO DEFEAT Blocked Quick Kick Paves Way for Lone Touchdown 65,000 Fans See Evenly Matched Elevens Battle By RUflfl NEWLAKD (Associated Press Bport Writer) MEMORIAL STADIUM, BERKELEY, Calif., Oct. 8. (AP) Down on the green turfed field trl this huge bowl today, St, Mary's O all oping Gaels wrote a vivid chapter Into their 1934 football history with a stirring 7 to 0 victory over California's giant Bears, a feat that brought thunderous ova tion from 86,000 frenzied fans. Four minutes after California had kicked off, the alert Qaels, who learn their football under smiling Edward "Slip" Madlgan, aaw and seized their chance, to rush over the touchdown that turned the tables on a time- honored gridiron foe. The Bears were backed up close to their own goal after an exchange of punts. Left Halfback Williams tried to get off a quick kick. His toe met the oval, but 230-pound John Yexer- skl, left tackle for St. Mary's, crasbed through to meet the ball. Nebb Elduayan, Gael left guard, dove for the ball and blanketed It on the 16-yard line. The big St. Mary's drive got under way. A five yard offside penalty sent the Bears back to their 11-yard line. On the next play. Fullback "Kelly" Kellogg smashed through California's left tackle. Two Bear tackle rs hit him a yard from goal and the ball bounded crazlly Into the end Bona, where his team mate, Herb Schrelber, left half, recovered It. A minute later Kellogg added the extra point with a place kick. That seven -point margin proved the difference between two closely match ed elevens and for the remainder of the game they rushed up and down the field, tn a seesaw exchange of scoring throats that saw California twice miss field goals and St. Mary's stopped after a 00-yard advance. Not long after the uaels pushed over their touchdown, the Bears came back with a 47-yard march that ended 1A yards from goal when a fourth down pass fell Incomplete. Late In the second period, the Call' fornlans tried to kick their way Into the point column to no avail. Arlelgh Williams, Bear left half, made both attempts, one from the 37-yard mark and the other 33 yards from goal. Each place kick was from an angle and In each case the ball sailed straight for the cross bars, but fell COLLINS SCORES FOR CARDS AMID ORGY OF TIGER ERRORS '!'';.','' s-" "'v " ' ' ' i S 4 COCHRANE . vVvf , .

The Bulldogs took advantage or two Idaho fumbles In the opening stanza to gain a commanding first quarter lead of 18 to 7.

( AP) Pouring on the power In the second half after they had "melted" down the former "Iron man" grid machine of Oregon State college, the mighty Stanford Cardinals blanked the north ern Beavers, 17 to 0, In opening their 1934 drive towards the Pacific coast conference football championship in Multnomah Stadium today. Jim Moscrlp, fancy-stepping end. started the string of victory points In the second period when he kicked a field goal from the 23-yard line. As straight and true as Dizzy Dean's fast ball. After being held away from a touchdown by the margin of 12 Inches early In the first quarter, the Cardinal running attack finally began to func tion In great style in the last half, and Captain Robert "Bones" Hamil ton, and Charles Lead better rang up touchdowns In the third and fourth periods, respectively. Moscrlp con verted the two extra points from placement. Victory for Stanford was evident from the outset with the southerners Jabbing big holes In the Oregon State line, and keeping the fighting but rapged -work ing northerners In a bad hole. The Cardinals watched Oregon State's famous backfield ace, Norman Franklin, like a hawk, and had him running around In circles most of the time trying to find an opening which would permit him to get into the clear. The final gun cheated the rugged staters out of their only chance to score after a sensational march from their own 20-yard line to within 2 yards of the Stanford goal. Playing against a flock of Cardinal substi tutes In the closing minutes, the Beavers moved ahead 15 yards on three plunges by Woyne Valley and James Daneri, ond the latter then hurled a 40-yard pass that luckily fell Into John Casserly'a arms and he scampered to Stanford's 16-yard line, The pass was nearly intercepted by Robert Maentz, but ltsllpped out of his hands Into the waiting paws of Casserly. On three more smashes. Daneri and Valley charged to the S-yard stripe and the 12,000 fans howled for a touchdown. Only seconds were left and the Cardinals dug their cleats Into the dirt and held Valley to 2 yards as the battle ended. Stanford gained a big break In the first minute of play when Norman Franklin fumbled on a running at tack, and Bobby Grayson, former Portland high school star, recovered for the crimson squad on OSC's 10. In an effort to make the best of the break. Grayson and Hamilton ploughed to a first down on the 5 yard line. The five remaining members of the famous "iron man" machine of last year, which amazed the grid world by holding Southern California to ft scoreless tie. then sparked the Staters into such a fighting mood they stop ped four ripping bucks by Grayson 12 Inches from the goal line.

Medford high school started her drive for another state football title Saturdav with a 32 tn 0 vlefcorv nn the fast-stepping Roseburg Indians. in m iirst quarxer, ine ngera carried the attack deep Into Rose burg territory, the whistle ending the quarter before Medford could score. In the second quarter, Medford was not to be denied and despite stubborn resistance, pounded over two touchdowns. Roseburg was un able to solve the varied attack of the Tigers. , "Leaping Leo" Ghelardl demon strated his ability aa a quarter back by missing end runs, passes and line bucks to such an extent that the Indians were consistently caught off guard, when they moved In to stop line plays. Leo would reel off yardage around the ends behind beautiful Interference formed by Baker and Htnman. The coach's worries about filling Tom White's shoes are over, aa a fast-stepping back by the name of Lewis is proving that he can play football with any back In the state. Coach Darwin K. Burgher also found In Saturday's game that Rus Brown can step In and call signals as well as Block and carry the old Dleskln. For th first tlmA in fnn years. Burgher finds himself well supplied with reserves : Harrison. Klckerson. Fowler, Ettlnger, Todd, Gifford and Dorf are ready to fill any regular's shoes, while In the backfield Kunzman, Smith, Younp, Bayllss, Ottoman, Swanson and Ray Lewis are keeping the first string backs on their toes. The Medford play was ragged in spots due to lack of practice. If Roseburg shifted out to stop the wide plays, Bates or Smith would rip through their line for one long gain after another, through the holes opened by Big Keith Estes and Owen Bates, Medford linemen. On the defense. Kindred, Stewart and Captain Joe Pierce were a tower of strength, breaking up the Rose burg attack time after time. In the air, Medford showed ft decided Im provement over last Saturday. One pass from Ghelardl to Pierce went for a touchdown, another from Ghelardl to Hlnman was good for a 40 yard gala. Roseburg's only threat came in che first half when B. Schemer, Rose burg quarter, on a criss-cross, car ried the ball within eight yards of the Tigers' goal. He was run out of bounds by "Hard Rock" Bak-r. The starting lineup: Roseburg LE LT LO C RG RT RE Q . LH RH F Substitutes: Rosoburg, Neal, Harris. Baker, Fawcette, Wesson. Turpin.

Your htarywelRht champion of the world, carefree Maxle Bfler, can dance the reeling midnight through for the rest nine months and have nothing much to tear from young Steve Hamas, the Pa.alc. N.

In the history of this great smpl theater. there was never a 23 year old boy who stood up and fought with such & heart as young Hamas did in this struggle with Lasky. He gave sway seven pounds and two precious Inches In reach, yet he stood up after a ter rific threshing In the third round, and came back to win, though he was out on his feet at the end. The Judges disagreed. Joe Angfllo gave Hamas six rounds to four for Lacky, and Harold Barnes gave them five apiece, but Barnes voted for Lasky because of his coumgeous fin ish. Referee Billy Kavanaugh settled the dispute by giving H.imas five, Lasky four and calling one even.
