Scoring Threat Negro
. Back Star Of Battle.
Memorial Coliseum, Los An
goles, Dec. 9. (P) The Unl
verslty of Californla-at-Los An
geles all but wrecked the South'
em California Rose Bowl spec
ial today, but the Cardinal and
Gold of Troy moved on to the
Pasadena post-season classic at
ter a furious two-hour battle
with the Uclans that ended in
scoreless tie.
The result left the University
of Southern California with two
ties against its record, and the
Bruins of UCLA with three in
Pacific coast conference play
and one outside battle.
The formality of the confer
ence naming USC as its repre
sentative in the Rose Bowl was
to be attended to later.
A record-breaking crowd of
103,300 spectators, the most who
, ' ever saw a football game west
of "the Mississippi, watched the
two home town adversaries
struggle on near-even terms
throughout the game.
The favored Trojan machine,
geared - for an uninterrupted
march to the Rose Bowl for the
second straight year, made one
mighty scoring effort in the first
period, and the Puissant Blue of
UCLA brought the roaring
crowd to its feet with a 76-yard
thrust In the final quarter.
Between whistles, the two un
defeated teams tore into each
other like unacquainted wild
cats yet only one serious pen
alty was called. It was a clip
ping foul ruled against USC.
For once, the yardstick ac
curately measured the ability of
the two elevens. The Trojans
made 11 first downs and the
Uclans, with Halfback Kenny
Washington turning in a bril
liant 60 minute game, had ten.
USC had an edge in yards
gained, but the Trojans found
line as big and tough as their
own in this Bruin forward wall.
Gathered under skies bright
one moment and cloudy the
next, the huge throng saw the
Trojan powerhouse start off
with a bang. With Quarterback
Grenville Lansdell in the driv
er's seat, S. C. moved inside the
Uclans 23 yard stripe. UCLA
held for downs, took over on
its own 22 and then Washing
ton fumbled on the 28.
Bob Peoples made five, Lans
( dell passed for four, and soon
, Peoples banked his way to the
Bruin 11, Lansdell then took the
ball, crashed over the battered
right side of the Bruin line and
as he reached the five he was
tackled from behind. The ball
, flew out of his hands and over
the goal line. That was the only
scoring threat of an SC team
figured to down the Bruins by
convincing margin.
The second and third periods
rattled off quickly, but neither
squad could get into scoring
position.
Late In the last frame, after
Doyle Nave had maneuvered
the Trojans into Bruin territory,
the UCLA lads took the ball on
their own 20,
Jarklo Robinson, Washing
ton's halfback teammate, reeled
off 13 and Kenny added ten
more. Fullback Leo Cantor ad
ded a yard and the Bruins
crossed the mldficld stripe, on
Washington's IB-yard pass to
End Don MacPhcrson.

stop the Brulnj. Washington
added 12 yarda with another
flip to Robinson, and from the
20 passed to Strode for five and
first down. Another pass went
for five, to Ned Mathews, and
Washington went through the
line for 3 to the Trojan seven.
Cantor barged over the Trojan
right tackle for four, and Cantor
carried it to the two. Here the
Trojans fought off the thrust
Washington was stopped cold
and Cantor was knocked back
to the four. On fourth down,
Washington's pass over the goal
line was knocked down by Bob
Robertson, SC halfback.
In the dying moments of the
game the Uclans came back
across the neutral stripe,- but
desparate pass by Washing-
ton was Intercepted and the
game ended soon after.
RICE WITH EASE
Dallas, Dec. 9. (IP) Oft beat
en Rice Institute took one more
punch on the chin today, South
ern Methodist landing a 13-6
wallop, but it came within six
inches of being surprisingly
great.
The big blue and grey ma
chine picked to lead the south
west conference chase was im
bedded in the cellar after to
day's closing game, not a cir
cuit victory on the books.
Runs and passes netted Rice
205 yards to the 118 gained by
Southern Methodist on running
plays only, but the big Rice line
permitted Methodist charges in
the fourth period to permit a
blocked kick that made all the
statistics go by the board.
For the third time this season
all in crucial spots, sophomore
end Roland Goss of Southern
Methodist charged In and hurled
his flying body against Olle Cor-
dlll's kicking leg. The ball
bounded down to the eight, cen
ter Ray Pope picked it up and
ran for the clinching touchdown.

BUTLER SPARES
Now Wait For Rose Bowl
Bid Tiny Halfback
Sparks Way To Victory
Knoxvllle, Tenn., Dec. 9. (JP)
Tennessee's o r a n g e-shlrted
Volunteers, a touchdown-tight
team if there ever was one, cli
maxed a spectacular gridiron
campaign today with a 7 to 0
triumph over an Auburn team
that gave its all but not
enough.
The Rose bowl, an elusive
honor for the grldders who
have fought under the direction
of that old army strategist, Ma
jor Bob Neyland, hung in the
balance as a gallant defensive
Tennessee team, which knew
what to do and how to do it
to win, crashed through to its
23rd straight triumph and wait
ed for an expected invitation.
As the color-capped Tennessee
band whipped into a jazz-jittery
presentation of "Califor
nia, Here I Come," while a
gathering of 20,000 witnessed
the climax to a thoroughly-convincing
season, the expected in
vitation to Pasadena s tourna
ment of roses was apparently
only a matter of course.
The sophomore sensation,
slender Johnny Butler, sparked
the payoff victory for the second-stringers,
who have borne
the brunt all season of a Ten
nessee team that capitalized on
opportunities. ,
Tennessee "felt out" the
Tigers in a drab first period,
but, apparently realizing that
points were needed to gain a
claim to the Southeastern con
ference championship and a
clinch on the Rose bowl, a sec
ond team was rushed in and
produced dividends.
Butler dropped back to fake
a pass. He wheeled wide to his
left, feigned a forward toss just
back of the line of scrimmage,
dodged a would-be tackier and
then tucked the pigskin under
his arm and raced, ahead.
Momentarily checked at the 25,
he squirmed out of a trio of
tackles and sprinted for a "touch
down.
That touchdown might easilv
be termed an $83,000 scorlne
Jaunt. For Tennessee Just a few
days ago turned down an In
vitation that carried that offer
for the undefeated, untied and
unscored on Volunteers to play
in ine cotton uowl.
Auburn's greatest threat came
on a 61-yard drive that pene
trated to Tennessee's 29.

LADY GRAPPLERS
PROMISE THRILLS
' It won't be ladles' night. In
the sense that feminine grap
pling fans will be admitted free,
but the Medford armory will
probably be jammed to the
rafters tomorrow evening with
members of the fair sex anx
ious to witness Miss Clara
Mortensen, world's woman light
weight champion, return to
match arm and headlocks, and
maybe some hair-pulling, with
Gladys Nolan, a capable blonde
miss from Kansas City.
The two gals, positive top
notchers in the wrestling Indus
try, female division, will face
off for 45 minutes or the best
two out of three falls. They'll
go to work between the semi
windup and the main event, and
if the match is anything like
those others In which Miss Mor
tensen has taken part in here,
the fur will fly and the cus
tomers will receive more than
their money's worth.
The woman champ is really
a fine grappler. She has met
and defeated the best in the
country, and in Miss Nolan she
expects to face one of her most
dangerous opponents. The latter,
weighing 140 pounds, has been
a consistent challenger for La
Mortensen's title, and although
this won't be a championship
match it will furnish Miss Nolan
the opportunity of obtaining B
large measure of satisfaction by
defeating the crown-wearer.
Topping the four-play pro
gram will be King Kong Clay
ton and Paul Bozell tangling in
a rematch from their gruelling
struggle of last week, when
Bozell broke through the
Negro's defense to whip on a
couple of Boston crabs and win
the match. Clayton asked for
another chance at the powerful
ex-Black Dragon and the latter
agreed.
Supporting matches to the
main go and the women's ex
hibition will see Bobby Chick
meeting Eddie Rogers and Bob
Kenaston grappling Leo Morten
sen, brother of Clara, A coin
will be flipped to see which of
the pair open the card.
