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

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."

TROY 14-7 FOR
ROSE BOWL TEST
Waterfield Star of Victory
Bruins Outpass, Out
think For Three Quarters.
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.
