naut, champion outfit of the Pa
cific Coast Conference, turned
loose its powerful attack on the
East's frozen fields today, but
wasted most of it in accomplish
ing the defeat of the scrappy
Villanova eleven, 13 to 0.
The Cougars from the Pacific North
west, oltweighing their Eastern rivals
by a big margin, battered their way UP
and down the gale-swept gridiron most
of the afternoon, but had only two
touchdowns to show for rushing at
tack that gained enough ground to pro-
duce at least half dozen more tallies
The burly Westerners, led by their pile
driving captain and fullback Elmer
Schwartz, repeatedly smashed deep into
Villanova territory, only to find stone
wall defense that turned them back
seven times altogether.
All Villanova exhibited was fine
defense, in which Capt. Gardner, Right
End Mike Terry and Kobilis, a substi-
tute guard, stood out, but it was Suffi-
cient to keep the visitors from running
up anything like the score they had
expected.
$4,000 See Contest.
Close TO 10000 shivering spectators
saw Washington State conduct q
monotonous series of charges into VIII
lanova territory throughout the game
It was an impressive exhibition, even II
the final tally didn't indicate the real
margin of difference between the two
teams in offensive power.
The game was played for the benefit
Of local charities, but because of the
weather the crowd and gate receipts
fell far below expectations.
Washington State scored in the first
and last periods. Capt. Schwartz,
whose dashes of tackle were the Of
fensive feature of the Cougar attack,
tailed the first touchdown on a wide
sweep from Villanova's 11-yard line. 1t
was the climax of 37-yard advance
In which Schwartz did nearly all the
ball toting and Masken converted with
q place-kick.
Porter Lainhart, hard running half
back, dove over the center of the line
for the other touchdown after it looked
as If the Cougars were doomed to fall
short of their objective indefinitely.
Again Schwartz did the important

mark, where q Villanova tumble was
recovered by Parodi, Couga- guard.
Many Drives Fan.
Otherwise Washington State failed
to show a scoring punch consistent
with the teams ability to gain ground.
Three times in the second period alone
the Cougars lost the ball on downs
inside Villanova's 5-yard line. They
failed to score from the 1-yard mark
in four plays which lost seven yards
instead of producing any gain. On two
other drives Villanova's lighting defense
stopped the Westerners ON the s-yard
stripe.
These were the most conspicuous Of
States lost scoring opportunities, but
the ed-jerseyed warriors lost the ball
on four other occasions deep in Villa
nova territory. on the z, 8, IL and is
yard lines.
The figures showed State rolled up
16 first downs and gained 265 yards by
rushing, whereas Villanova registered
only two first downs, both in the third
period. and advanced the ball a total
of only 81 yards by rushing as well as
passing.
Much Of States offensive power was
Offset by the inability Of Tuffy Ellingsen
to make his passes connect. The Cougar
halfback tried Is heaves at various
stages Of the fray, but connected with
only one Of them.
No ViII=n0va Threat.
Villanova however, was unable to
threaten either through the air or on
the ground. The team, coached by
Harry Stuhldreher, former leader Of
Notre Danes -Four Horsemen," con-
fined its efforts almost entirely to a
plucky defense. Offensively, Villanova
never had possession Of the ball in
Cougar territory.
The Fasteners made their only
threat in the third period, when Capt.
Gardner got loose to a 27-yard dash
of tackle, the longest individual gain
of the day from scrimmage. Otherwise
Villanova could not pierce the big Red
line. featured by the work Of Edwards,
Helm and Ahlskog, or make the long
passes connect.
Edwards, 235-pound tackle, was in
jured late in the second period after
smearing everything in reach, but his
replacement, Wallulis, was nearly as
