ALL BENT Up

LOS ANGELES. Dec. y. U.P-A
dispirited Notre Dame football ag-
gregation was enroute homeward
today. nursing the bruises of
1870 defeat administered Saturday
by Southern California.
The bruises were more of q
mental than physical nature. The
team which had been favored in
betting odds TO win handily, fell
far short of expectations by being
held easily in check until the
fourth quarter when an aerial
bombardment threatened to pro-
duce a touchdown. But twice the
threat was turned back near the
goal line by the stubborn Trojans,
defending their national champion
ship.
Three times during the after
noon. the TrojanS struck deep in
to Notre Dame territory and twice
they capitalized. The first started
when Irving (Cotton) Warburton,
slip of a second string quarter
back. Snaked his way Al yards
through a broken field after catch
ing a punt and added Is more ON
a line thrust. Homer Griffith
threw a long pass to Bob McNeish
who made an amazing fingertip
catch as he crossed the goal line.
The second Southern California
score came in the third quarter
on straight line bucks that started
on the Notre Dame 26 yard stripe
where an Irish back fumbled
punt and the Trojans recovered.

Before their departure last night,
the Notre Dame players payed
tribute to their opponents, especial
" to their stalwart line. OF Cap

LUKATS' PANTS GIVE IRISH STAR
SOME EMBARRASSING MOMENTS

and Sparkling but their steely eyes
indicated they intended to hold
tight. He began thinking OF choice
names to call players who would
even steal a mans pants to keep
him away from the goal line.
Just then he got a glimpse of his
bare knees and that decided the
issue. Lukats had plenty of school
spirit and would do almost any
thing for alma mater, but he
made up his mind to stay with Frs
kline, Sparkling and his pants.
Having halted the Notre Dame
halfback, Erskine and Sparkling
walked nonchalantly away.
For the first time, Lukats heard
the laughter of 100000 fans. He
reckoned correctly that his quite
bare anatomy was the cause and
he quickly pulled his trousers to
their proper place.
His humiliation was not COM
plete however, for he now discov-
cred that in addition to partially
undressing him in public, Erskine
and Sparling had broken the
strings that kept his breeches in
position.
Runs For Help
Lukats figured he couldn't pro-
perly attend to his triple threat
duties if both hands were busy
with those faltering trousers. He
ran to the sidelines, beseeching
aid.

Pinch Hitting for Henry McLem0re
United Press Staff Correspondent


LOS ANGELES, Dec. 12.-The
football rules committee should
take up the matter of a player
losing his pants during a game and
prescribe some course of procedure.
Nicholas P. Lukats, a very fine
Notre Dame halfback, was parted
from his during the Southern Cali
fornia contest and, while the spec
tators enjoyed it, the incident prov
ed highly embarrassing to him.
He started around end, but Bob
Erskine and Ray .Sparling, South
ern California tacklers, grabbed his
trousers when they couldn't grab
him.
Lukats had travelled about four
yards and went another, before he
realized his predicament was seri-
GUS.
Obviously, he reasoned to him
self, one really couldn't go run
ming around trouserless before 100,-
600 people. He felt certain Emily
Post wouldn't approve. Besides, he
remembered his knees, while SER
viceable enough, were a bit knob
by.
He had read the rule book thor
oughly at the insistance of Coach
Hunk Anderson but he couldn't re-
call any rule to apply here.
He looked hopefully at Erskine

plenty of bandage, tape ana medi-
cine but no spare pants. Coach An
derson ran his eyes along the line
of substitutes.
Down near the end of the bench
was John E. Tobin, of GAINESVILLE,
Wis, halfback of the general out
line of Lukats.
Tobin correctly read Andersons
searching look. He attempted to
hide behind two fellow players, but
too late. Anderson called him.
Thus Tobin must have niche
in Notre Danes hall Of fame as
the man who gave his pants TO
Lukats while Southern California
was beating the Irish 13 to 0.
Notre Dame players huddled
around the two players to shield
them from the view of the crowd
and Tobin turned his pants over to
Lukats.
The Southern California band
played London Bridge Is Falling
Down." The idea was to change the
wording and title to "Lukats' Pants
Are Falling Down.
Lukats, conventionally garbed
again, went back into the game
and almost passed Southern Cali
fornia silly, although it didn't help
much because the passes didn't
bring touchdowns.
A frown on his usually merry
face, Tobin sat Shivering on the
bench.
He was worrying about what he
was to do if Coach Anderson sud-
denly ordered him into the game.

BALL CLUBS
PLAN TRADES
By HENRY SUPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

CAAANa ANoo 0tdiA
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The win
ter's first snowstorm brought with
it baseball trade winds that pro-
missed to howl and whistle about
New York curing the American
and National league annual meet
ings.
The one-day meeting of the Ma
tional league doesn't open until to-
morrow, but rumors already are
flying. Some of them are that the
Yankees viii trade Ben Chapman
to the Chicago White Sox for Hell
ME Manush; the Giants will swap
Hughie Critz for a shortstop, and
that the Brooklyn Dodgers are
willing to trade anybody if the
deal strengthens their lineup.
Despite the unprecedented Num-
ber of trades expected, the 16 base
ball clubs representatives gathered
here are more interested in finan-
cial problems. Both leagues are
convinced that a drastic cut in
operating expenses is necessary.
Topics that will come up for
plenty of discussion at the Nation
al league gathering tomorrow, the
American on Wednesday and at the
joint meeting Thursday are:
l. Radio broadcasting.
2. Decrease in players salaries.
8. Shortening of trading season.
4. Decrease in the present play
er limit.
5. Cooperative trading with an
aim at strengthening the weak
clubs and thus produce more spir-
tied pennant races.
6. Reduced admission prices.
The magnates are expected to
propose that the player limit be
cut. Last year it was reduced from

THIEF INSULTS CAR OWNER

MERGED, Cal. (U.P)-It was bad

reflected today, to have her auto
mobile stolen. But when the thief
drove her car to San Francisco and
charged 10 gallons of gasoline to
her at a service station there, it
was adding insult to injury. She
had the bill from the station, and
letter explaining that the young
man in her car had asked that it
be forwarded to her.

Some clubs favor mandatory re-
duction of players salaries. Others
particularly the eastern teams, be-
lieve the question of salaries should
be left to each individual organt-
zation.
Another proposal expected Thurs
day is one calling for discard OF
the method of handling tickets for
the world series in sets of three.
With the Yankees as leaders, this
move is expected to win because
last years series fell short of a SELL
out in New York. Office workers
who could get off a single day were
unable to buy one ticket.

Weasel Words

Occasionally one hears the phras Sc
weasel worded" and wonders what it
means, so here is definition.
Weasel words, according to a noted
authority. are words which suck all
the life out of the words next to
tnem Just as weasel sucks all the
egg out and leaves the she'll"
With this explanation in mind the
public would do well to study the SUBJ
]ect so 1t may recognize weasel words
when they are encountered, for
weasel words do great deal of DAM
age in the world.
The man who manages to give
you an impression without actually
conveying a thought in definite terms
is weasel worder. He skates up to
the line marking the truthful man
from the untruthful without ever go
ing over. In many respects he is
more dangerous than the outright
liar because he is harder to detect.
This is a campaign year and the
public will have opportunity to study
weasel words in their finest phases,
Tor they come in handy when a man
wants votes and still desires to avoid
positive and definite statements.

An Air Traffic Problem

The federal rules governing aviation
contain one clause providing that no
aviator may fly over a city or town
at height Of less than 1000 feet.
This rule--as anyone who has gone
out in the back yard and looked up
at the sky on summer Sunday
knows-is very frequently violated.
But once in a while an accident hap
pens and makes it clear that the rule
ought to be enforced strictly.
Such an accident came the other
day when, pilot who was flying
over a city had to make a forced
landing and crashed into a house.
BY a fortunate chance, no one was
killed-although a good deal of prop
erty damage was caused; but the in
cldent speaks volumes for the neces-
sity OF keeping all planes at a safe
distance above the housetops.
AS the volume Of aerial traffic in
creases this necessity will be even
more imperative. This particular
plane may have been flying at the
proper height when its descent be-
gan. The accident, nevertheless.
points its moral very clearly.
