''We had to lose some time," said Coach Heartily Anderson of Notre Dame," and I'm glad that 1t was Southern California which broke. our winning streak. The Notre Dame boys played their hearts out and lost to g great team that de-
 served to win. My hat is off to
 Southern California and Howard Jones'"
 That statement reflects the
 spirit of Notre Dame, ,'--the feel ing of it's players, students,
 coaches and faculty.
 But if Notre Dame itself accept ed its stunning defeat gracefully, the army of unofficial supporters
 who claim the South Bend school as their "Alma Mater" Say South ern California rode to victory on penalties inflicted on the fighting Irish at critical moments. It's the Game This contention is borne out by figures which reveal that Notre
 Dame was penalized go yards to none for Southern California, and that three Trojan passes were ruled complete because of interference.
 The decision on pass interference helped the Trojans' in their two touchdown drives.
 In. this connection, however, these outside Notre Dame support
 CTS are forgetting that Southern California has had some very tough breaks and decisions in previous
 Notre Dame games.
 There is little doubt that South ern California needed the penalties to win, but as the game was play ed the Trojans had the better team and reserved the victory. One factor which played large part in plunging Notre Dame to defeat was the ease with which the Irish scored their second touch !, down. After leading 70 at halftime
 they scored again in two minutes
 of play in the third period. A Bad Result It was too easy and the Irish
 had mental and physical let down.
 Another factor that had its
 place in rousing the Southern Cali
 fornia team to fighting frenzy that culminated in one of the most
 thrilling rallies in modern football
 history was an injury to fullback
 Jim Music. The mishap was doubt less accident but when Music was
 kicked in the face and had to leave 1 the game with broken nose the
 Trojans then and there resolved to
 do something about 1t. After Gus Shaver, who left the game in the second period almost

 Making a few changes, T. Bowes going to center and Duncan to in- side left, the locals hit their stride. The Sikorsky eleven added another goal before the Ports scored. In the next 15 minutes the locals showed in four goals, two by Duke" Bowes, and one apiece by Marr and Bright.

Cooly and accurately measuring the distance, a slender quarterback adhered to as Bill Johnson, used his educated toe ala Booth. placed a spectacular 46-yard drop-kick between the uprights of the Nauga- tuck Recreation field yesterday af- ternoon with only 50 seconds to play, giving Ralph Mastriano's South Ends deserved to vic- tory over All-Naugatuck, in a thrilling combat witnessed by an approximate crowd of 1,6O0.
 Lack Scoring Punch
 The winners took the field with many new faces predominating their lineup which man for man outweighed the youthful Rubber towners who were minus the ser- vices of Quarterback Tuckey and wingman. Charley Lodge. The first two quarters was all in the South Ends favor, the locals takings the leather time and again within the shadow of the home clubs goal only to have Naugy hold on downs and kick out ow danger.

 New York, Nov 23-(UP)-It may be that I am just an ornery stort of cuss, but let me say right out loud and in public that I for one am simply overwhelmed with 1 joy that Southern California came through in those final moments to pin back the ears of the Notre Danes.
 Oh, know it cost me. just like 1t did you and you and you and you. But that doesn't matter. Not much, anyway. It ended, for spell, at least, all this talk about supermen and superteams, and su- lpersystems, super whoppo, and that's worth a few potatoes off anybody's bankroll.
 For the last three years, or eyer since Notre Dame started that gosh lawful winning streak, the Irish have been considered invin- cible. This belief that the South Renders were too much for any, body to handle had grown so strong that when a classy, smart and resourceful Northwestern out | fit held them to a scoreless tie this year, everybody blamed 1t on the weather, and refused to give the Wildcats enough credit to butter a tea biscuit.
 The only thing don't like about Notre Names defeat is that the setback undoubtedly will result in a flood of reports, rumors and what have you that Hunk Anderson Is on his way out and 1892 will find Notre Dame in charge of 2 coach who can keep the Irish record free ] from all defeats.
 1 Such rumors and reports were going the rounds before the season started, and you may rest assured they'll break loose again now that Notre Dame has been whipped. We'll, if they boot Hunk out for losing to a team like Southern California. then there Is no justice this side of Pago Pago. I haven't seen Southern California play. but I have seen Oregon, team <hich it whopped 50 or SO to nothing. in action, and team that can whoppo the Oregon team saw whoppo
 New York University. is handful or IootDall team.
 Mister Babe Ruth, the portly philosopher, had baseball in mind
 when he uttered his classic line
 "one day you're a hero, the mex, day you're bum," but he might just as well be talking about football. For that's the way it goes out there on the gridiron, too If you don't believe 1t, grab your
 favorite Gazette and read about
 the Harvard Shindig.
 Barry Wood. who all season hal been destiny's fairest-haired child went sour in the one game he had every reason to want to make his
 best. And little Albie Booth. whe has been completely overshadowet by Wood all year. came out of tho game with enough glory to give
 everybody. second helping.
 | We spent all of last night trying Ito figure out something significant
 in the fact that both Southern
 California and Yale won the two big games of the weekend by Kicking. Our all night vigil, SC
 to speak, ended in failure. The
 only lesson we could learn from the games was eat if you have . man who can stick lem through tho middle of the goalposts. it's a per
 fectly swell idea to allow him te
 do same.

 The railroaders, drug store clerks, insurance agents, farmers, textile workers, and high school stars who came down from the foothills of the Poconos showed 1000 wildly cheering football fans how to work the football racket.
 Psychology Stuff
 They were preceded by dozens of automobiles placarded and ban nered with huge freshly painted signs which read:
 You can't win, Sing Sing"
 Lieutenant Campbell, Patrolmen strait and Grant who were left on guard while 13 legitimate members of the force in the stands and watched their proxies do their stuff, received special bulletins that told them the signs were right.
 Some 1,70O outsiders got onto inc field here, the old prison yard. Probably 1000 were turned away because of the small seating ca pacity. Another 2,000 stood In inc roadway or watched from near bv hillside. Some 1,500 prisoners cheered the Zebras who represent cd them.
 The visitors brought with them the Delaware Fife, Bugle and drum corps of Matamoras, Pa. Long before the prison gates opened several thousand visiting fans stood beneath the machine gun towers clamoring to get in, while the 2,000 or more prisoners probably wished they could get out = unless perchance the de- precision has changed their minds.
 Just In Case
 As each visitor was admitted, he was given quick and easy frisk- iug for weapons. Each had to pass through at least five gates
 
 when he got ready to so home af- ter the battle, little less than par don was required to speed his exit.
 Mayor Conny of Port Jervis led the pre-game parade with a goat Tn leash. The drums rolled, the bugles blew, the convicts cheered the cops - of all things the convict band struck up "Wonderful Mother of Mine," and the home team trotted onto the field.
 The first score came in the sec- ond quarter when Thomas of Port Jesvis passed 20 yards to Brown who raced across the goal line Thomas kicked goal, and a few mo- ments later the half ended.
 The reedy notes of a clarinet sounded between halves from the ranks of the prison band. Ther the crowd caught the tune, ant cheered. He played: J-...,
 "Just one more chance"
 But early in the third quarter Thomas nabbed a pass and raced 90 yards for another touchdown The kick was blocked.
 All For Nothing :.
 Ning Sing made a touchdown this period, but 1t didn't count Prince, a sub, caught a punt by the Sing Sing fullback, Nelson, and raced across the line before he was informed the play was illegal be. cause the ball was not first touched by an opposing player.
 The Convicts cheered the cops as the game ended, and the fans cheered the Convicts, as they were headed back toward their cells.

The visitors put up a brand. of basketball seldom seen in these parts and had things all their own way throughout.
 Many of the fans present at the game believed the Brooklyn A. C.. club showing Johnny Dunn, Mat ty Sheehan, Tom Magner, Alex Mazzarella and "Yanol" Carroll in It's lineup would give the St John quintet a run for It's money. May be such a game will materialize in the near future.

 Bucky is a dead ringer for Brou- illard in size and shape. He is a natural right-hander and if any, thing is slightly stronger and more speedy than the champion.
 Looks like a hot night for Cham pion Lou. Billy Ames is backing up this stellar attraction with a great under-card and as the house is to be scaled at one, two and three dollars, the garden seems to be headed towards another fistic sue cess.
