Los Angeles, Dec. 12-(P)-South-
ern California outplayed Notre Dame
for three periods and outsmarted the
visitors all the way Saturday to win
the annual football battle between
the Trojans and Ramblers, Is to O.
A record crowd of 100000 saw the
home team win its 10Th straight
game and move step closer to q
second national championship in two
years.
The crowd set new attendance
mark for football games this season
and was the biggest assembly ever
to witness q game in Los Angeles.
The record crowd saw a record
performance. The TrojanS made his
tory for their seven-year football war
with Notre Dame for this was the
first time the Howard Jones team has
won twice in successive seasons from
its rival. Notre Dame, however, con-
tinued to hold a one-game margin
for the series, four to three.
Southern California rose to victory
on the flying feet Of Irvine (Cotton)
Warburton, a pint-sized quarterback,
a sensational catch of a forward pass
by Bob McNeich and a series of we'll
placed quick kicks.
Warburton, little but fast, started
his team on the road to the first
score in the second period by return
ing a Notre Dame punt 80 yards to
the visitors 44-yard line. The little
fellow dashed to the 30-yard line on
the next play, Notre Dame called a
halt through the line then, but HON.
er Griffith on fourth down, with the
ball on the 31-yard line, tossed a pass
to McNeish, who made sensational
catch over his head two yards from
the goal line and stepped over.
A quick kick in the third period
was fumbled by Chuck Jaskwhich,
Bob Erskine recovering for the Tro-
jams on Notre Danes 26-yard line.
Southern California moved on to q
second touchdown by successive run
ming plays.

booting the ball over the heads Of the
Notre Dame safety men and three
times grounding the ball inside the
visitors 5-yard line. Once the ball
came to rest less than a yard from
the goal.
Notre Danes offense failed to
function during the first three Pc
RODS but came to life with a bang in
the closing quarter, when it was too
late.
Notre Dame was not In Southern
California territory during the first
period, assuming the role Of invader
for the first time in the second quar-
ter when the elusive Mike Koken
sidestepped his way to the 43-yard
line. The visitors did not get past
the center of the field again until
the final period. Then, Jashwhich,
finding no available pass receiver,
ran with the ball and was brought
down on Southern CALIFORNIA; 49,
yard line.
A few minutes later Notre Dame
uncovered passing attack which for
while had the Trojans running
around in circles. After Smith miss
ed field goal from the 4O-yard line,
the visitors took the ball on their
own 20-yard line and Ray Brancheau
passed to Hugh Devore on Notre
Danes 48-yard line.
Lukats passed to George Melinko-
vich on Southern CALIFORNIA; 41-yard

Vejar, a Hollywood boy, then shot
one to Sheeketski on the 5-yard line.
The drive was stopped when Grif-
fifth intercepted pass on his own g.
yard line.
The Trojans kicked out but Notre
Dame was right back knocking at the
door with another long pass from
Lukats to Melinkovich, winding UP
on the 13-yard line. An incomplete
pass over the goal line foiled this,
the last effort of the South Bend
contingent.

team and scored twice as many first
downs, but the Ramblers carried the
ball more. Notre Dame never kicked

plays had failed to negotiate q first

midseason and forced to retire from
competition, was permitted to hold
the ball for the opening kickoff, trot-

The comedy relief to a very serious
game was furnished by Nick Lukats
