a driveway leading to his home he was confronted by young man wearing soft hat and brown over coat. He remembered these little details and the fact that 1t was a moonlight night, clear. not too cold or warm, and that his chance to get a good look at the bandit was also aided by the rays of nearly street light. The youth with the gun merely ordered Palomba to "stick 'em up" and with his weapon pressed against the 1atter's ribs forced him into a dark corner of the yard. He rified Palomba's pockets and took $50 in bills and between $5 and $7 in change. After compelling his vic. tim to lie down and to refrain from shouting under the threat to blow his brains out the highwayman dashed out of the yard and escaped.
 The states principal witness was questioned to some extent as to the description of the man who held him up and how he managed to pick Probulis out of the police lineup. In answer to the latter query he ad- mitted seeing the accused alone in detective quarters at which time he did not positively identify him until he had taken two looks at him. Later he had no difficulty of singling him out of an array of suspects.

After losing to St. Mary's 1877, in
the first same Of the season, South
ern California has won six consecu-
tive games, all by big scores except
the 60 victory over California.
The records Of the two teams are
similar in many respects. Each has
had two real tests-NOtre Dame
against Northwestern and Pitts

against ST. Mary's and California.
Notre Danes goal line has been
crossed twice both times in the Is

touchdown was made on the regu-

California has yielded three touch

Southern California has scored
222 points, or an average of over

Despite its defeat by st. Mary's,
Southern California might be able
