Fumhlitis Disappears In

By Lisle Shoemaker .
United Press Correspondent
' ' Pasadena, Calif., Dec. 29 (U.R)
filowly but steadily the word
is getting around that Coach Jeff
Cravath's Trojans from USC are
exceedingly good risks in their
roles of 2-1 underdogs against
Washington's Huskies this Satur
day. We put on our spying gar
ments to track the thing down
and are now able to report it is
more than a rumor.
Th word came straight from
the Trojan Warhorse's mouth
right at Bovard Field in Los
Angeles where the Cravothmen
do their daily workouts.
The Trojan players them.
selves think they're going to win
and that's a good sign for USC
roosters who practically gave up
uie minute the game was signed.
Here's the way it simmers
down: The men from Troy
haven't lost in collegiate compe
tition this season, dropping only
to two tough service teams the
Fourth Air Force Terrors and
the rugged San Diego navy
team. '
Then there's the angle of their
recovery from their long and
serious siege of fumbling. This is
probably the key to the Trojan
win attitude. It Is no secret the
Trojans were fumbling durins
their regular season practice
schedules. But In these last days
of workots the Troymen have
found they can hang onto the
Dau and stUl work their T-for-
matlon.

Although Cravath has been
quoted widely as promising an
almost exclusive passing offense,
our spying report hint other
wise.
j no starting eackiieid is a
running backfield built around
little Eddie Saenz, the unherald
ed '"scat" running lefthalf who
leads the Trojans in ground
gaining tor the season. '
.' Ainslie Bell, the "mystery'
quarterback so called because
He's played so little in the regu
lar season you have to look up
the roster to find out how be
spells his name definitely gets
the starting call.
This, probably, Is Cravath's
chief strategy plan. It means
that regular quarterback Jim
Hardy will stay in the stalls un
til the setup reaches the bub
bling point. Just what that
point la has the experts over the
coals and will remain Cravath's
eeret until unfolded. Bell Is
the better passer, Hardy the bet
ter runner at least the more
experienced runner.
Defensively the Trojans are
aet Actually, they haven't wor
ried as much about their own
goal line as they have about in
vading Washington's taered
ground. .
