Latter Half

The University of Southern Califor-
MIA football team tore through the
| Orange Athletic club eleven yesterday
afternoon at Bovard field for a victory
of 81 to 0. 1t was not a game; 1t was
simply the varsity squad playing a
! scrub team. This was practically the
same team which held down Occidental
| to a score of 2S to and the rooters
at the Methodist college are happy.
The Orange team showed occasional
| flashes, but could not continue the
| good work for any length of time and
the U. sc. team would run them off
their feet before they could pull them
selves together after a bad play. At
| the beginning of the second half the
downs and then bucked the ball down
the field for twenty yards before the
Methodists line held.
The University boys played a good
game throughout. Malcolm, the big
tackle, was the sensation of the game
with his interferences. Time after
time he guarded tacklers off the run
ner carrying the ball in a manner
which is not witnessed every day, and
several of the nine touchdowns were
due directly to his good work. Decius
at right halfback ran through the OPP
position seemingly at will. On kick
off he lodged by the entire field and
ran for a touchdown, but Referee
Treager ruled that he stepped outside
and he was called back to the center
of the field Crossman at quarter ran
the team we'll and also was good in
running in punts, fumbling only one.
Hill and Wirsching, the two ends,
were fast and sure in their work and
the former made one of the prettiest
plays of the day when he broke
through the Orange line and blocked
a punt, gaining some ten yards for the
Methodists. AT fullback, Selph of the
law school played O smashing game
for the university, making good gains
on his bucks. Right Guard Allen had
to leave the game in the second half
on account of an injured foot, this
being the only accident of the day.
The first touchdown came about
three minutes after play was started.
Decius kicked the goal and Orange
again kicked off, The Methodists
moved steadily up the field, using the
forward pass to advantage and Paulen
went across for the second touchdown.
Decius again kicked the goal. On the
next kickoff to the Methodists the
Orange men got we'll down the field
and stopped the University in their
own territory. Decius kicked, but the
Orange quarterback fumbled it and
speedy little Hill recovered the ball
a place kick, but failed, only to have
Wirsching go over the next moment
on forward pass from Paulen. Pau
len failed to kick the goal.
In the second half, Coach Cromwell
gave the team just ten minutes to
play and then told them he would, at
the end of that time, put in an en-
tirely new team. They scored two
more touchdowns in less than seven
minutes with the same tactics as be-
fore. Then, with the exception of
Cochran, the whole varsity team was
then taken out and the second team
men given a chance. They did well and
managed to cross the line once more
before the half was up. The second
half did not run the scheduled twenty
minutes, but was called after fifteen
minutes of play. The lineup:
