With 6l-YARD PASS, TAKE
GAME FROM WILDCATS, IS TO L
First Three Quarters of Game at Tucson With "U"
Team But Brilliant Playing of Visitors Change
Scene and Count in Final Minutes.

TUCSON, Nov. "a ga brilliant |
rally, 61-yard pass, and a successful
on-Side kick, combined to bring an
apparently beaten Whittier eleven into
the lead here this afternoon to defeat |
the Arizona university Wildcats 13 |
to II.
The two touchdoWnS scored by the |
poets came in the final quarter and |
smashing Arizona drive in retaliation !
was underway when the final gun
sounded.
Opening the game the Wildcats
scored first sending Crouch, their |
plunging fullback over for the count |
after Diebold had swept around end
and through tackle to place the ball
in scoring position Acuff failed to
convert The second quarter proved |
scoreless for both teams and it was
not until late in the third period that
Arizona scored again.
The bali had been see-sawing in
J lnlid-fieldy then went into Arizona i
hands on the poet 4O-yard line on an
exchange of punts. Diebold passed to |
Morse for seven yards. Acuff and |
Crouch pounded the line for gains and
first downs Acuff plunged through |
guard for 10 yards and Crouch hit the |
center of the line to score. Acuff |
failed to convert.
Arizona Hghtened up her drive, pre- i
pairing to take it easy when the break |
came. Sixty-one yards from the goal
line with the Poet team held for two
DOWNS Weaver, the right end, was
called into the backfield, the ball was
snapped and Walker was away Tear
ing diagonallys across the field, the I
Poet quarterback made Tor the Wild |
cat goal while a maSSed Arizona eleven
plunged in to block the throw. Weaver
hurled the ball, a long, high spiral, |
and as Sorenson and Clark bore down
on him behind the goal line, Walker
took the pass and Pendleton converted. !
The Poets kicked and as the whistle
blew, the crowd was drawn to it's
feet, for the ball had gone twirling to
the left between the so and 40yard
line to be snatched up by Weaver
who wove his way through the local
eleven to- the Arizona 10-yard line
Pendleton, backfield ace of the visi-
tors, swept around right end for the
touchdown, but tailed to convert.
In a futile effort to regain the lost
lead, Eustace Crouch, plunging full
back of the Wildcats, swung into ac-
ton Four times he tore through the
Poet line for 35 yards Again theyl
sent him into the line to reel off two, !
then six, and two more After piling
up two first downs the fighting Irish
back was stopped for the first time
and Diebold passed to Weaver for six
yards Diehl, in for Morse at quar-
ter, passed to Patten but it failed as
the timers registered one minute toI
go with the Wildcats on the Poet 18-
yard line.
The Poets held the ball for their
four downs on line play finally punt
ing to Diebold, who had played the
game of his college career. Diebold
scurried back to the 45-yard line where
two attempts to pass failed McArdle |
made 20 yards around end as the gun
sounded.
