ing and scoring plays, Notre
Dame vanQuiShed Southern California,

the greatest intersectional games OF the
wear, another thrilling chapter was
added to the embattled history Of Sol

the history of American foot ball, 1873

The actual paid admissions exceeded
100, 000 officials stated, and they UNI
uuestionably got their moneys worth
as they watched the HOLSTERS rally from
a bad start to sweep the powerful
Trojans of their feet.
Pillowed on his movable bed, Just pc
hind the Notre Dame bench, where he
could pull the strings Of team play per-
sonally for the first time In three weeks,
Knute Rockne forgot his atling leg as
his pupils scored a triumph that was
more convincing than the one point
margin indicated. 1t took squad OF
police after the game to protect RocKne
from being almost pushed from his BED
by the rush of Hoosier enthusiasts, who
had cheered their teams great rush,
booed frantically at the adverse de-
cisions of offlcials and then watched
with bated breath as big Jim Muslck,
Trojan fullback, missed the kick Tor
extra point that would have tied the
score after a sensational 95-yard run
for a touchdown by Quarterback Rus
sell Saunders.
Saunders, taking -Carideo's kickoff on
his own five-yard line, turned in the
most spectacular play of spectacular
game when he dashed pell-mell through
the whole Hoosier team in the thlrd
period after Notre Dame had rallied 10

suit was concerned. 1t was wasted When

Close as Notre Dame came to being

its superiority by a clear margin. II
took the trusty toe of Quarterback Frank

the second touchdown, to decide the
issue, but Notre Dame outrushed. out
kicked and outpassed the burly, hard
charging Trojans from the Far West.
The first downs, IL for Notre Dame to
7 for Southern California, testified to
the more dangerous attack OF the
HOLSTERS, although the brilliant back
field work of Dufield, Saunders and
Musick came close to making the game
at least a Stand-od.

with the roars punctuated by frenzied
booing at times from the stands, where
Notre Dame partisans voiced their
criticism of decisions on the field.
The Hoosier demonstrations OF dis
approval began in the second period,
when Notre Dame appeared to have
scored a touchdown on long pass by
Elder which bounded from the arms OF
Conley and several Trojan defense
men into the grasp of Frank Carldeo,
the ubiquitous Rockne field general,
behind the goal line. The points were
the score at 6-6, but Referee Birch then
decided no score was made on the
ground that Carideo was ineligible to
receive, since the ball struck Conley

Notre Dame, one for Is yards, for clip

bursts, but the booing reached its
climax in the last period when no IN
