JIEDFORD MAIL TRTBITXE, MEDFOTtD, OREO OX. SUNDAY. DECEMBER 9. 1931. PAGE FIYE Notre Dame Passing Attack Nets 1 4 to 0 Victory Over Trojans YOUNGER BROTHER OF COACH LAYDEN IS POINT MAKER Notre Dame Halts Troy One Inch From Goal Line Irish Excel in Air All Scoring in Second Period MEMORIAL COLISEUM, LOS AN OiCLES, Dec. 8. (AP) The Laydens had it as Notre Dame defeated South ern California 14 to 0, before approx imately 60,000 spectators today. Elmer sat on the bench as Coach while Frank made the touchdowns. Ten years ago Southern California last saw Elmer In action as he dash ed about the rose bowl Intercepting Stanford passes. Today the younger brother scored both the Irish count ers against the fighting Trojans and playing a great defensive game as well. Frank was all over the huge coll i, seum today but the most Important location he picked out was a spot 31 yards from the Trojans' ,go1 in the first period when the score was nothing to nothing. He was there when a long pass from. BUI Shake speare came down and after he caught it, there was no trouble about sprinting across for the score. In the second period he plunged over from the two yard line after Wayne Mllner had made a sensational catch of a pass on the rebound. This time Andy Pilney was the pitcher. The home team never was able to keep up with the visitors' passing at tack. Twelve times the Irish tossed the ball and four were completed for a total of 112 yards. In 11 overhead efforts the Trojans were able to con nect with only 3 for a puny total of 34 yards. The Irish with a late spurt also took the lead In 'rushing 114 yards to 109. Until the day was al most done, the Trojans had more yards thru the rushing game than the Irish. The losers did wind up with a slight edge In first downs. eight to seven. The victory gave Notre Dame the edge In the nine games played, five to four. Southern California had one great chance to score but the sturdy for ward wall of the boys from South Bend stopped the drive just an Inch from the goal line on fourth down and Notre Dame took the ball and kicked out. The Trojans were down on the Notre Dame 30-yard line, as a result of a recovered fumble, when this push started. Earlier In the game, almost at the start, another recovered fumble gave the home team the ball In the visitors' terrl- tory and a smart drive for a few plays took the Trojans to the Notre Dame 13 where it was stopped and a try for field goal failed. All the scoring was done In the first two periods. Southern Califor nia came out after the Intermission with a greatly improved defense and kept the Irish around mldfield most of the time. Coach Layden gave moat of hts squad a chance to play a while, twice sending In substitutes In wholesale lots, eleven at a time. -4- VICTORS IN SNOW ST. LOUIS. Dec. 8.
