The nnal rush came just when 1t

IronlcaI Touch Noted.
Bakers kick, coming with but one
minute Of play remaining, was an tronic
touch for old Notre Dame, which has
witnessed its fighting army march on
through IS victories In 26 starts. The
"a QC
Frishp had three times defeated the Tro-
5ans. More ironical was it that the kick
enabled the Trojans to be the first and
the last to defeat Notre Dame, as 1t
was the same invader from the West
who conquered Notre Danes army way
back In 1928.
If ever foot ball team deserved to
win, it was Coach Howard Jones and his
|Cardinal and gold-shirted giants from
the West today. They rocked the
|Notre Dame citadel reckleSSly and con-
|Bistently.
Three times they threatened before
success came. In the first period, they
|Emashed their way to Notre Danes 81
yard line only to lose their precious
chance for the first score on Jimmy
Musicks tumble. Two minutes later;
|line only to be stopped by inches and,
|once again, IN the third period, they
Hound themselves beaten back with 10
yards 70 20. But what seemed the sad
.dest break Of all came after they had
|scored their first touchdown when
Bakers kick for the extra point was
blocked. But they couldn't be denied
after that.
Irish Come Back Strong.
The battle was all Southern Cali
fornia In the first period as they made
their first two threats, but Notre Dame
came back with rush in the second.
Getting the ball on its own 45-yard
line after Schwartz's boots had gained
q wide advantage, Notre Dame opened
q 55-yard march for the first touch
the first big hole by Tipping long
pass TO "Chuck" Jaskwich, good for 3s
yards and placing the ball on the
Trojan 16-yard line. Schwartz and
Banas carried It with line drives to
4 the 1-yard line, where BanaS hurdled
center for the score. Jaskwich's kick
for the extra point was good and Notre
Dame led, to 0, as the first half
AS ths %Fiehting irish" took the
field for the third period the Trojan
hopes fell to the lowest depths OF the
game. Starting on their own 37-yard
/ line, the men of Notre Dame carried
the ball over for a touchdown on ex-
actly four plays.
Schwartz again started the parade
BY tossing q lateral to Ray Brancheau,
who escaped to the Trojan 46-yard
stripe. Schwartz circled his right end
for seven more to the 39-yard line and
then tossed q wide lateral pass to
Banas, who made pretty catch, run
ming and stumbling 70 the 3-yard
mark. Schwartz then grabbed the ball
and sliced over his right tackle for
the touchdown.
Trojans Display Mettle.
There wasn't any one among the
huge throng that granted the Trolans
even a ghost of show with that dis
advantage staring them in the face.
But they didn't know the Trojans.
Getting the ball on Notre Danes 4S-
Eard line, Orville Mohler and Gus
shaver passed and smashed to the
Totre Dame i5-yard line as the third
eriod ended. 1t was at the point
nat Ray Sparling, the Trojans' great
nd. stepped into the breech. Taking
lateral pass on a perfect end-around
ay, he raced to the 1-yard line after
hich Shaver easily bounced through
right tackle to score. But the hopes
mediately faded as big Joe Kurth
IKE through to block Bakers try Tor
precious extra point.
