In a game slow and rather ragged
for the most part, yet marked with an
occasional flash of form on both SIDES
the University of Southern CALIFORNIA; s
football team defeated the Whittier
college eleven on Hadley field yester-
day afternoon by score of p to z
With the exception of one touchdown
the scoring was all done in the first
half, the second being a grim fight from
start to finish between the two teaills'
with honors nearly even.
The game started rather slowly, ana
it took the heavier MetlodlStS nedIly
twenty minutes of the first half to
make their first touchdown. In TINS
half the Quaker team did not snow
much form and seemed to be without
leader After the first score, however,
Little Renniker was replaced at quar-
ter by last years quarter, Critics, VINO
did better directing than Rennlker. NO
one was seriously injured with the eX-
ception of Right Tackle Cochran OF tne
Methodists' team, who had ms ahkie
badly sprained late in the second halt'
This may possibly eliminate him from
playing any more this season.
The QuakerS kicked off to DecluS,
who returned the ball ten yards before
he was stopped. By series of cross
tackle bucks they advanced to the cen
ter of the field. where PauIeh was was
forced to punt. The Whittier team, with
the ball on their own 20-yard line, was
unable to make yards and kicked 10

Decius Kicks Off
Decius kicked off to Murray. The
Quakers could not make their gain,
and a little punting battle ensued with
honors in favor of the Z. ): Z. me ne
Quakers then took a brace and went up
the field to the ten-yard fne' where
they were held for downs.
On a tumble the Quakers recovered
the ball on L. S. C.'s ten-yard line.
They were held for downs, and the
Methodists recovered the ball on their
own three-yard line. Paulen dropped
back for a punt, but fumbled the ball
and was downed behind the goal line
thus scoring the only points of the
game for the Whittier team.
The ball was kicked from the twen-
ty-hve-yard line, and on forward
pass Stookey went across the Quakers'
line for the second touchdown, which
Paulen converted. Decius again
kicked off, and with less than three
minutes to play, the varsity bucked
the ball up the field. sending Hall
over for another touchdown, which
Paulen converted.
During this last part of the first half
and the first few moments of the sec
ond half the Methodist team showed
the only flash of real class of the
whole game They went through the
line and around the ends for long
gains and outplayed their lighter op-
ponents.
Second Half
Decius kicked off to Raymond, who
ran in fifteen yards before he was
stopped. The Quakers were unable to
make their yards and punted to
Paulen. Paulen went around the end
in the next scrimmage for twenty
yards through a scattered field. Decius
then took the ball through tackle for
twenty yards more. The Methodists
lost the ball on downs here, and Big"
Renniker attempted to punt. The at
tempt was partly blocked, the ball
going into the hands of Decius, who
ran from the thirty-yard line for a
touchdown in one of the prettiest runs
of the game. This ended the scoring
for the day.
On the kick off Ickes secured the ball
and ran it in twenty-five yards, with
excellent interference from his team
mates. The Methodists rushed the ball
up the field and it looked like another
touchdown, but the Whittier line took
a brace and held them for downs
The Whittier team took the ball on
their own twenty-yard line and cleo
trifed the crowd by starting down the
field five and ten yards at a buck,
making their gains every time. They
also worked the forward pass to good
effect. making short but sure gail on
all attempted. In this department
they far outshone the u. S. c. team,
who could not seem to get any passes
off with any degree of sureness.
The Methodists finally stemmed the
Quakers' onrush on their own twenty
yard line. Here Martin was sent in to
relieve Paulen and Hogan took De-
cus' place. The latter did the punting
for the Methodists from this on and
showed a good deal of class in this
department.
The game ended with the ball in the
possession of the Quakers i'm the CEN
ter of the field. Score % to 2.
