WESTERN CR|DDERS
DEFEAT Penn STATE
new YEARS CLASH

Rose Bowl, Pasadena, Cal, Jan. 1.
The West out-classed the East on
the gridiron today, when the Uni
versity of Southern California de-
feated Penn State College IA to 3 in
the annual Tournament of Roses
intersectional contest. A crowd of
$4,000, the largest to watch such a
game, was present.
Outplaying the Nittany Lions in
avery department of the game, the
Southern Californians, after the first
period.sin which the fasteners were
at their best, displayed an offensive
that was too powerful for Coach
Hugo BeZdek's men. AS a result the
famed Penn State line was pune
tured time and, time again for sub
stantial gains. The visitors appear
ed to be in excellent condition and
the breaks of the game were about
equally divided.
The Trojan line, aided by a dry
field. proved to be the days surprise,
for it held the eastern forwards, said
to be invincible.
The Penn State offensive centered
in Mike Palm, who scored his
teams only counter, a place kick. He
did the punting and all the forward
passing and registered as much
yardagc as was recorded by the
combined efforts of his teammates.
Difficulty experienced by the auto
mobile carrying the Penn Staters in
threading it's way through the traf-
fic, delayed the start of the game
35 minutes and it was finished in
semi darkness.
Penn State was threatened in the
first minute of play when "Hap"
on his own goal line. His teammate
Hufford. recovered and Palm punted
out. The Trojans made first down
twice. Then the Nittany Lions in
an almost uninterrupted advance
from mid field carried the ball to the
19-yard line where PALMS toe pro-
duced the drop kick score.
The second period saw the teams
taking turns in intercepting passes
but shortly before the half ended, a
long gain by Baker and a pass,
Baker to Galloway, put the ball on
the two yard line. Baker gained a
yard and Campbell scored the Tro-
JAMS first touchdown through CEN
ter on the next play. Hawkins
Z kicked goal. Within five minutes
after the opening Of the third per-
iod, the Trojans put over the second
touchdown. Bakers 22-yard gain
around the Lions right end and a
ten-yard plunge through the line
paved the way. Short gains through
the line took the ball to the two
yard line. Baker took it over on
two bucks. Hawkins again kicked
goal.
Both teams were visibly exhausted
in the final period, neither showing
the drive of the early quarters. but
Palm was able to make 25-yard run
from midfield shortly before the
end.

Serves went everywhere but inside
the court limits, passes were a minus
quantity and the No. / team did not
show any evidences Of the training
which the league games had afford

THIS is not saying. however, that
the No. = Business Men did not work

spot every minute, shooting at the

field game. The score of this game
was Is to 0.
The third game was more closely

That Word "SterIina"

OF unusual interest is the deriva-
ton of the word Sterling" as applied
to something that is genuine, pure,
unadulterated, or of excellent quail
ity." The original form of the word
was "easterling." The Easterlings
were the north Germans, or the mer-
chants of the Hanseatic league, the
original 'moneyers" of England. The
nme of these merchants came to be
applied to coin or goods of a fixed
standard value, answering all tests.
In the time Of Edward I, we find an
English coin issued of the designa-
ton of a dinar odinarius, called
sterling" Since that time the word
sterling" has been applied to the
English pound, which before the war
was regarded as the best value in the
world.
