Aftermath alibis were simply that it was an off day for Coach Tiny BarnhiU's powerful team, but tonight Mississippi Coach Harry Mehre revealed that it was all due to a party line telephone. Mehre told Southeastern con ference officials at their annual meeting here the fantastic story of how he "accidentally tapped" the special telephone wire of the Tennessee board of strategy Col. Bob Neyland in the press box and Tiny Barnhill on the players' bench. Listening In Mehre was able to run bis prep school" team accordingly and functioned so well that Tennes see was held scoreless In the last half. The Irony was that Neyland, when Tennessee head coach, in troduced the telephone commu nication system to southern foot ball and Mississippi under Mehre has never used it, although Mehre considered it a "smart system."

Los Angeles, Dee. 12 (U.PJ Led by the sensational play of Quarterback Bob Waterfield, the Bruins from the University of California at Los Angeles pro jected themselves into -national prominence and an almost cer tain shot at the Rose Bowl today by defeating the Trojans from the University of Southern Cal ifornia 14 to 7. The victory was the climax of eight hectic years for the Bruins who upset their cross-town rivals for the first time in their series of eight games. Playing cagily and calling upon himself to pass only when he could spring his tosses as a surprise, Waterfield thrilled a crowd of 87,500 fans In Memor ial coliseum with his adroit sig nal calling and sharp passing. The Bruins, after giving up one quick touchdown to the Tro jans in the final quarter, had to call upon a magnificent defense to stop another USC threat mo ments before the game ended. The Bruins jumped to a 7-0 lead in the second quarter on tricky running plays and added another in the third quarter on a lone, perfectly placed pass to Baldwin who ran 22 yards to score. Ken Snelling kicked both conversions. Both the Bruins and the Tro jans played in close in the first quarter. The Trojans, after three plays including a fumble, were on their own five, when Hey- wood's sensational kick which made a net 61 yards gave the ball to the Bruins on their 27. The Bruins found the going no easier and kicked out after mak ing only six yards. The Bruins finally made a first down, the first one in the game after 12 minutes of play, when Waterfield snapped a lateral to Solari who dashed from the 30 to the 43. But the Bruin drive ended immediately when Mc Cardie Intercepted Waterfleld's next pass. The Trojans opened up with the first indication of serious scoring threat early in the sec ond quarter when Callanan raced around right end to the UCLA 41. McCardle hustled it around the other end to the 30. Manning in three tries bucked It to the 18. But the Trojans hopes blew up when McCardle tossed a pass over the end zone. Moments later Waterfield lift ed the Bruins up with a run ning interception of McCardle's pass to put UCLA on the Trojan 35. It was the signal for the Bruins to roll. Led by the pounding of Vic Smith, the Bruins marched to the Trojan 39. Then Waterfield called one of the prize deceptive plays of the season. Running back from his spot behind his own center, he faked to Solari, tucked the ball along the side of his leg and raced out unprotected along the sidelines down to the Trojan five-yard line. Smith mauled his way two yards into the line but the Bruins were set back to the 10-yard line by a backfield In motion penalty. Smith again powered Into the line and drove to the four-yard line and Snelling smashed over the center of the line for the first score of the game. Snelling booted the conversion point. The suddenness of the Bruins' third quarter touchdown caught the Trojan pais defense com pletely out of gear. After spend ing most of the playing time cracking and jamming at the Trojan line, Waterfield passed on first down. Standing on the Trojan 41- yard line, "Bombing Bob" raced backwards and flipped a slxzling aerial to Baldwin, who grabbed it on the 22. Baldwin reversed his field when trapped by four Trojans, raced down the north sidelines and into the end zone without a man getting a shot at him. After several weak scoring threats in the first three quar ters, McCardle, USC's break away back, sparked the Trojans to a quick score In the final period. McCardle took to the air him self and with one mighty heave to Essick sent the Trojans scor ing from the UCLA 42 down to the 10. On the next play, Mc Cardle scored. Jamison kicked the conversion. A total of $1,695,970 in war bonds was sold in connection with the game and 56 purchas ers of $5,000 bonds were given seats on the players' bench of their own choice.
