Pasadena, CAL, Jan. l.
University of California's
wonder team" out-played
and defeated the "big ten"
champions, Ohio State, % to
0, today in the annual Tour
nament of Roses New Years
day east-west game. The
score was the largest ever
rolled up by a western team
against eastern invaders.
Ohio States famed aerial
attack and '1ast minute
drive to victory" fell before
the brilliant blue and gold
defense and the $4,000 spec
tators saw California take a
leaf from the Buckeyes
there and beat the Ohio men
at their own game of for
ward passing. California, on
the offensive, had a dazzling
assortment of passes, long
and short, and on the de-
fense got in the way and
broke up most of Ohio's
throws, intercepting them
always when the middle
westerners threatened.
A Varied Offense.
Coupled with the phenomenal
California display of passing was
an offense as varied as any ever
seen in the west. Coach Andy
Smiths men slashed the Ohio line
at will, circled the Ohio ends and
with double passes and criscross
plays baffled their opponents.
The story of Californias victory,
in large measure. was the story
of the playing of Brick" Muller,
California's brilliant end. Muller
was stone wall on defense and on
the oftense played a remarkable
game. Three Of California's touch
downs were the direct result of
Mullers mastery of the aerial at
tack, but in passing and receiving
Pete Stinchcomb. Ohio States rep
resentative on the all-American
eleven, did everything expected Of
him and more. but the California
defense. which had been perfected
to stop him. was impossible and
although Stinchcomb gained prob
ably more yardage than any other
player today. his work demonstrat-
ed that one man cannot win from
a trained varsity.
California's line outcharged it's
rivals and often opened tremendous
holes through which their backs
plunged for large gains. The Ohio
forwards were unable to cope with
the fierceness of this attack and
when the secondary defense came
in to back up the forward wall.
California opened up and forward
passed their way to victory. "Tar-
san" Taylor and Captain Huffman
were the outstanding stars of the
Ohio line, while every man on the
Berkeley lineup starred Capt.
Sort" Majors. playing his last
varsity game, put up a great game.
On many occasions he broke
through the Ohio line and shatter-
ed plays in their incipiency.

from cold climate, but it is
doubtful If snow. rain and slush
could have halted the Californiaps.
Statistics of the game showed
California made eighteen first
downs to ten for Ohio and gained
considerable more yardage. both
on straight and open football.
Gains at punting were about
even. California was penalized
quite frequently while Ohio drew
but one penalized loss. The game
was marked with roughness. Fun
b1es were about even.
