GOnzaga Bows to
West Virginia Grid
Clash Christmas Day

Stadium, San Diego, Cal, Dec. 25.-
The east proved superior to the west
in football today when the West Nir-
ginia team of Morgantown, w. Va.
triumphed over the Gonzaga eleven of
Spokane. Wn., 81 to IS in San Diego S
annual interseetional gridiron contest.
Both elevens resorted frequently to
forward passes.
Three long runs thrilled the specta-
tors. Captain Meredith of West Vir-
ginia intercepted a forward pass and
ran so yards in the second period to
touchdown. In the last half Matt
Bross. an 1S-year-old freshman who
had substituted for Right Halfbacll
Clarity of Gonzaga, completed two
runs of more than so yards. Both of
Bross' runs started the bulldogs on the
way to the touchdowns.
Only enough straight football was
used to keep the other team from set
ting their defense to combat the aerial
attack
West Virginia started the scoring in
the first period. With the ball in mid
field, Nardacci, right halfback, passed
so yards through to SimoA
The Gonzaga line could not repulse
the mountaineer attack and the ball
was further advanced until from the
12-yard line Nardacci slipped through
right tackle for touchdown. Ekberg,
quarterback, added point with place
kick.
The second period was filled with
thrills. Each team tried forward
passes on almost every other play.
Many were Tor gains of 20 to so yards,
but neither team could get the ball
over the others line until Gonzaga he d
carried the ball to the mountaineer %
yard line, when Captain Meredith of
the West Virginans int arcepted a Con
for the second touchdown. Ekberg
again added the extra point.
The last mountaineer score came in
the third period when a 16-yarl for
ward pass. Nardacci to Simon, placed
the ball over the goal line. Ekberg
kicked goal.
Both Gonzaga touchdowns came in
the last period. Stockton of Gonzaga
sent short pass to Bross, who ran IS
yards through a broken mountaineer
team for touchdown. Then a series
Of passes averaging 10 to 20 yards
carried the ball to the two-yard line
and Bross made his second touchdown
BY slipping through center. Stockton
kicked goal.
The concrete stands. hitch scat al
most $4,000 persons, were about one
third filled.
