Los ANGELES, Dee. 8. = The
Syracuse University football team
was speeding eastward today, but
the memories of an unpleasant week
end still fingered.
Coach "Chick' Meehan 3 squad,
subjected to their worst defeat in
two seasons, were outplayed 10 to 0
by Coach Elmer Henderson s Uni
vcrsity of Southern California team
Saturday. In 1923 Colgate scored
10 points against the Orange, but not
since then has the Syracuse machine
been forced to accept such large
score against them. In every pre-
v.0uS game this year Syracuse es-
capped the whitcwash brush.
The Trojan advantage came from
alert, heady football. Their first
score came as the direct result of a
blocked kick inside the Syracuse 10
yard mark. Three line p!unges fail
ed and Hawkins dropped back to the
l2-yard line to boot the pigskin be-
tween the cross bars.
The next score saw the outstand-
ing play Of the game. Hobbs Adams
still has marks OH his chest to show
where Bayley's S cleats struck him
when the L. 5. c. end took the ball
off the kicker's shoe, to gallop 30
yards for touchdown.
Another example of the smart foot
bail L. s. c. played was when Tro
jan punt was halted one yard from
the. Syracuse goal line, the Orange
backs had to use two plays be-
fore kicking position could be
reached.
Bayley, who dropped back to punt,
was working from Is yards behind
the line of scrimmagc after two of
his punts had been blocked.
L. $. G. will take things easy for
awhile before starting practice for
the Missouri game, to be played here
