HooSier Eleven Performs To-

Western Team Favored.

Cntted PreSS Stdt correspondent
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4.-Notre
Danes gridiron army FLASHED with
the powerful Southern California
University eleven here today in one
of the post season classics of the
year. The kickoff was scheduled for
2 p. m. Pacific time). The Cali
fornians were the favorites in the
betting.
The game was to be played on a
field dampened by an aIl-night
driZzle.
The Southern California team, al
though beaten by Stanford by a one
point margin early in the season,
won all other games on its schedule
and must be ranked a mighty close
second to the Pacific Coast confer
ence champions and as true repre-
sentatives of the Far West.
The warm California weather,
while it is said by critics In this ter
ritory to be two touchdown handi-
cap to teams from the East, may not
bother the Irish at all.
Two years ago, when the Rockne
eleven came west and played Stan
ford in the Tournament of Roses
contest at Pasadena. the climate did
not seem to slow up Notre Danes
famous offensive much. The Catho-
lies won that encounter, 81 to 10.
Stanford probably has produced
its greatest gridiron machine this
year, winning the Pacific Coast Con-
ference championship for the first
time in history And that eleven won
from L. S. C. by the narrow, though
decisive. margin of one lone point.
This gives an idea Of the strength
Of the Southern California eleven,
and IL the blamy atmosphere tended
to hamper the efficiency of Rockne's
warriors, the Pacific Coast was ex-
pected to claim the scalp tonight of
one of the country's greatest foot
ball ordinations.
Today's game was to be played be-
fore a capacity crowd of $4,000 in the
big Los Angeles coliseum. one of the
biggest stadia in the country. Every
seat was sold over a month ago and
scalpers We're asking outrageous
prices for tickets.
Notre Dame expected considerable
support from the stands, including
several hundred alumni now residing
in California.

REFEREES VERDICT GIVES
TITLE BOUT TO WALKER
Fans Boo Decision That Takes MiddeWeght Crown From
FIoWerS-CommiSSio 10 Discuss Fight.

day night before 10000 persons.
Flowers had won the middleweight
title from the late Harry Greb last
February. -
Though the decision passed the
title to Walker, there were many
among the 10000 who seemed to
think that Flowers had the better of
the argument and the decision was
booed by the fans. 1t is certain that
Walkers Garrison finish, in the
ninth and tenth rounds, when he
floored the Tiger and staggered him
again must have influenced Bonnie
Yanger. the third man in the ring,
to give the decision he did.
Flowers took an early lead, and
piled mp points on Walker, although
the Bulldog Irishman from New
Jersey was never in danger.
Flowers got in two taps to every
wallop that Walker landed during
the early part of the engagement.
But. in Justice to Walker. it must
be made clear that half of the Geor-
gia deacon's blows were open-glove
slaps.
A draw would not have been
bad decision for the match, and the
Illinois boxing commission was to
meet today to discuss Referee Van
gers choice of winners. Flowers
took three rounds decisively. and had
an edge in one other round Walker
took three rounds and the other three
were even, or one fighters or the
others. depending on which one you
liked,
It was a great fight, despite the
debate at the end over who should
have had the decision.
In the ninth Mickey's left hook
sent Flowers to the canvas. but he
was up before Referee Yanger could
start counting. Mickey shot in a
damaging right hook, while the
Tiger went into a clinch Mickey
sent his right hand pop-pop-popping
to the Tigers jaw and body in the
tenth. Flowers was tearing back at
Walker when the gong ended the
fight.

wagering reminds one of the
Army Navy pre-game dope. which
turned out about right. If you

are odds of 8 to 10 and : 30 10
that the Irish" will win.
Getting right down to brass
tacks, we believe the Coast team
will win. The only thing that
looks bad for the Californians is
the fact that Coach Rockne has
predicted defeat for the South
