THROOP HELD DOWN
TO AN EVEN SCORE
U. S. C. Academy Football Team
Shows Good Form Against
Heavier Men from
Pasadena
rhroon. 6: U. S. c. Academy, 8

nTOOpy " ~ 1s W NNRAN'f'Jf
Outwieghted nearly twenty pounds to
the man, the University of Southern
California academy football team held
the Throop Polytechnic team down to
a score of to yesterday on BoVard
field in one of the hardest fought bat
ties of the season. Not only did the
academy boys hold their heavier op-
ponents down to a tie, but outplayed
them most of the time, having the ball
in the enemy's territory throughout the
greater part fthe game. The forward
pass secured the score for the U. S. Z.
boys, while straight line bucks did the
scoring for the mechanics.
Throop kicked off to the academy at
3:45 o'clock. Unable to gain through
their heavier opponents line, the preps
tried a forward pass on their second
down, Right End Black securing 1t for
them and going down the field forty
five yards before he was stopped. This
took the ball well into their own terri
tory. They could not gain through the
mechanics line, and were forced to
punt, The ball see-sawed back and
forth between the center and the goal
line for some time, neither team MAX
ing much headway. Finally the acade-
my again tried a forward pass from
the 25-yard line, and Black went across
for the first score of the game. Revis
kicked the goal. Neither side scored
again during this half, the ball working
up and down the field, principally in
that half of the field defended by
Throop.
The second half was repetition of
the first as far as playing was con-
oerned. Throop went through the acad-
emy line for long gains at first, but
later the preps steadied down and held
them repeatedly, forcing them to kick.
Throop scored on a series of bucks
through the tackles. The preps were
penalized on a forward pass, which
went wrong, which left the ball on their
own 25-yard line. From here the heavy
backs on the Poly team waded through
the academy, finally forcing the ball
across. Ross kicked the goal After
the ball was kicked off again the acad-
eny soon had it in their own half of the
field, where it remained for the rest of
the half.
Throop was bothered during the
greater part of the game by continual
fumbling. Especially was this true Of
their handling Of punts in the back
field. They were a little slow in get
ting their plays started, and had some
formations which were puzZlers to all
on the side lines, as well as to their
opponents. They did not attempt the
forward pass once during the game, re-
lying principally on DUCKS ana trlck
plays for their gains.
The preps were fast and played more
of the open game. They showed the
result of the coaching they have been
receiving, and Assistant Coach Burek
was justly proud of the way they per-
formed. They got down on all tho
punts we'll. and this feature was dis
astrous to the Poly players as by the
time they had juggled the ball around
a little the academy ends were down
on them, and they scarcely ever were
able to run a punt in more than a ward
or two.
