Seventy thousand fan saw the Trojans of Southern California defeat the Bruins of Uni versity of California at Los Angeles In a spectacular battle today, 19 to IS.

Trailing 10 to 0 as the minutes ticked Into the fourth quarter, Wash ington fired a touchdown pass, good for 44 yards, to Hal Hlrshon. Walt Sehell kicked the extra point. Twenty-six seconds later, on the first play after taking the klckoff. five -gal ted Kenney faded far bark and sailed a perfect spiral for 05 yards. Hlrshon caught It and made the goal dash for the completion of a 73-yard play. The bewildered Trojans found themselves backed soon after on their own 18 as "General" Washington continued his mound work, but the threat ended when a fourth down pass flew Into the dust Incomplete. From the start, Troy's great quar terback, Grenvllle Lansdell, his block ing mate, big Bob Hoffman, and Full back Bill Sangster, ran the Bruins ragged. Howard Jones' sturdy front line, well-stocked with good reserves, never permitted the Bruins to reach scor ing territory. Once and only once, did the Bruins get as far as the 30 and there after a Trojan fumble. Lansdell. triple-threat hero of the day for Troy, scored the first two tallies and passed 20 yards to.

The Owls trailed. 0-7, when Lain got the "go" signal ' from Coach Jlmmie Rltts late in the first per iod. Five minutes later he had pass ed and bucked Rice to a touchdown on the first play of the second per iod. Early In the third period Lam personally took charge again and threw two passes to Frank Steen and Johnny Neece that netted 31 yards, crashed the line down to the four and blocked out a Methodist line surge as Jack Vestal kicked a field goal from the Methodist 13 that put the Owls ahead, 9-7. The big halfback plucked off one of Jack Morrison's wild passes in the fourth period on the Methodist 21 and returned to nine, from which point he scored on three drives. Twenty-two times Lain cracked Into the Methodist line and came up with a total of 75 yards, while his arm was responsible for nine passes that gained a total of 141 yards.

CAP) Coach Prince CHltson of the Univer sity of Oregon said tonight he hsd not "made up my mind' as to whether he would resign as mentor of the Webfeet football squid. Callison. whose team lost 20 to 6 todsy to Vr University of Arizona, denied reports current In Portland quoting him as saying he would quit If the webfeet lost the final game of the season. ' "I didn't say I would quit If we lost today, and I didn't say 1 would n't quit." he commented. "I haven't up my mind." TUCSON. Ariz.. Deo. 4. (AP) Striking with brilliant scoring thrusts In the second and third periods, the University of Arizona Wildcats over powered the Oregon Webfeet. 30 to 6. to close the season for both teams before 9.500 spectators here today. Oregon Jumped Into an early lead on a spectacular 90-yard touchdown dash by Halfback Gerald Graybeal. who raced behind almost perfect In terference, but the Wildcats hit their stride In the same second period to score twice and take a 13-6 advan tage at half-time. Quarterback Sidney Woods engi neered the second period Arizona attack, scoring the first touchdown on a 40-yard slice off tackle. He then turned the ground-gaining as signment over to Fullback Walter Nellsen after an Intercepted Oregon pass gave Arizona the ball on the Wildcat 49. Three crashes Into the line, featur ing Nellsen and Halfback Brnko Sml lanlch, brought Arizona to the 35. From there Nellsen. a 210-pounder, crashed through tackle, eluded the Oregon secondary and carried Gray beal on his back tUe final 10 yards to the goal line. He then split the uprights on a place kick conversion. The Webfeet enjoyed a short-lived advantage in the third period when Neilsen'a hurried punt carried only a short distance to the Arizona 32. Graybeal battered his way to the 17 on three plays, but the Arizona line stiffened and Oregon relinquished the ball on downs at that point. Smilanlch and Nellsen again hit their stride. Power plays brought Arizona to the Wildcat 45. Nellsen found a wide hole In the line and raced 50 yards to the Oregon five before he was brought down from behind. Smilanlch tossed to Harry Parker, end. for the final score. Nellsen converted. Arizona was denied another touch down in the fourth when Smilanlch intercepted an Oregon pass and gal loped 45 yards to the goal line, but the ball was brought back and Ari zona penalized for clipping. Desperate Aerial attempts by the Webfeet proved futile in the closing minutes. Oregon registered nine first downs to eight for Arizona, but the Wildcats gained 289 yards from scrimmage to 115 for the northerners. Three passes netted Oregon 49 yards, while two aerial thrusts gave Arizona 13 yards. Lineups: Oregon Pos. Arizona Yerby US M Parker Poskett ............... Lt.............

(F) There was plenty or smoke and a lot of Ire In the baseball trading business today a the shopping center shifted from the minor league meeting In Mil waukee to the major league arena In Chicago. Though the American league turn all the deals at Milwaukee. Indica tions today were that the long await ed swap of Brooklyn's Van Mungo was all but ready for official an nouncement. The best guess today was that the New York Gianta or Chicago Cubs would get Mungo. The Gianta open ed up a bit by selling southway pitch er At Smith to the St. Louis Cardin als and getting Catcher Tom Padden, ox-Pittsburgh pirate, from the Cards. Padden will go to the Jersey City horse of the player mart was Pittsburgh. When the disappointing 1937 season closed. Mn natter Pie Ttay nor said his club was ready to shoot the works with almost every player on the club. So far. no one has had a peep out of Pie but he may swing a big deal around Paul Waner and Arky Vaughan any day now. The Boston Bees also were doing a bit of fine gum shoeing and an Important deal may be pulled by shrewd Bob Qulnn Tho American league, apparently, was Just beginning to trade. Manager Jimmy Dykes of the White Sox cer tainly must do some more shopping now because he has wound up with almost an entire lineup of right hand ed hitters, one of tho surest routes to second division In baseball. The Bos ton Red Sox, It Is known, want to get a deal for Jimmy Foxx; Cleveland wants a catcher and is fairly certain or landing RoJIle Hemstey from the St. Loula Browns; the Yankees, though sitting tight, would spend a pretty penny for a good pitcher. De troit, apparently. Is well fixed now that it obtained Pitcher Vernon Ken nedy from the White Sox, who got Marvin Owen and Gerald Walker.

LOTT Jimmy Lott versus Steve Strellch; Red Lyons versus Joe Smollnskl that's the white hot grnppllng dish cooked up by Promoter Mack Llllard for Monday night's presentation In the Armory. And for an appetlur, Phil Romano and Mike Burke, meet ing In the opening event. Lott and Strellch, two extra clean and scientific battlers, are billed for the top tangle, a one hour set-to. but the Lyons-Smollnskl middle brawl is the business causing all local grunt and groan phllberts to He awake nights Imagining all sorts of possible happenings when the two tcrlfflc vllllans square off. Smollnskl, In his current southern Oregon stay, has not been overly successful In the matter of winning matches, but the reason has not been a lack of unorthodox ability on the part of the Polish Palooka. ff possible, the hated palooka is more of a louse right now than over be fore, and If it weren't for the fact that Lyons Is no mean louse him self, it would be pure suicide to stick a grappler In there with Smollnskl, raging mad from the Strellch defeat last week. While the middle event Is expected to Jar the city with Its grappling explosion, the main go between Lott and Strellch will probablj be one of the cleanest and most scientific matches of the season.

San Francis co's outclassed Dons all over the field today to pile up a 43 to 0 score, one of the worst beatings ever Inflicted on the local school. Fifteen thousand fans tat through sunny weather as the maroon pan talooned football rnldcra from the plains of the Ione Star state did practically everything but swipe the uniforms of their bewildered rivals. Touchdowns were rolled over with a regularity that grew monotonous as the game p regressed . Left halfback Dick Todd, starring In the role of a super-yard gainer, led the most devastating rout wit nessed on a northern gridiron this season. It wasn't confined to one man, however. In the last two minutes of play, after the lowliest substitute had been given his chance. Coach Homer Norton switched his all-American left guard. Joe Routt, to left hall and the 193-pounder from Chspel Hill enjoyed the greatest thrills ot a spectacular playing career by barg ing through two Una plays and a total 13-yard gain. The San Franciscans, who held the Texons to fairly respectable count of 38 to 14 last year, dlon't have a chance this time. They made three first downs and 33 yards from scrimmage compared to 17 first downs and 239 yards for the Aggies. Florida Wins OAINESVfLLE. Fla.. Dec. 4.
