South's First Defeat
BY the Associated Press.
DASADENA, Calf, January 2.-On
I the scroll of Rose tournament in
tersectional foot ball history Is re-
corded the South's first defeat.
A University of Southern California
team turned the trick before $4,000
persons yesterday, outscoring Tulane
eleven, 81 to II. The spectacular bat
tie gave the West the national foot
ball title.
The most brilliant individual star
was Erny Pinckert, allAmerican Of
two years standing, a blocking half
back turned ball carrier for a day.
He furnished the margin of victory by
two touchdowns delivered in quick sue
cession in the third period
After setting the pace through the
opening period, Tulane was meted out
some of its own medicine in the form
of a 23-yard pass, Orville Mohler to
Gordon Clark, which gave Coach
Howard Jones eleven its first scoring
chance.
Massing interference in front Of
Gaius Shaver, the Trojans escorted him
TO the 6-yard line on a determined
thrust. Here Ray Sparling, left end,
was called back for reverse play. He
scored. Johnny Bakers placement
made the extra point for 7-to-o lead
at half time.
Inc third period was young when
PinckerC first scored Tulane had at
tempted two drives and the TrojanS

in sport in 1882. Youth is COM
ing forward with rush.
Il In tennis, for example, 1t
would be hard to find more
promising pair of youngsters than
Ellsworth Vines and Frank Shields. 1t
is doubtful whether there are two men
in the game who can beat Vines today.
Helen Wills Moody still leads them all,
and no woman tennis player is even
close to her.
Twenty -year-old Tom Creavy won the
national P. g. A. golf title, and should
be better next year. A number of young
golfers blazed in the amateur cham
pionship. That grand veteran, Francis
Ouimet, beat them off, but they will be
back again with bit Of added expert
ence.
Katherine Rawls, Florida girl Of IA,
lowered couple of world records in
swimming, and beat two older former
champions. George Kojac of Rutgers
shattered number Of college records.
John SCHNEIDER of Michigan is another
record shattering youngster who should
still improve.
George Spitz, New York University
freshman, cleared the bar at feet 7
inches in the high jump. Percy Beard
who broke the world record in the
4iiSlI A4u4 G4co, ID OlI1y 20. Den Eastman
OF Stanford equaled the record for the
quarter mile, as did Vic Williams of
Southern California.
Eddie Tolan Of Michigan beat the
10o-meter mark, and Frank Wykoff
and Emmett TOPPING ran the 100 in
1012 seconds-youngsterS all. William
Graber Of Southern California cleared
IA feet in the pole vault
Youth is racing on. Records that it
was thought would stand the utmost
test OF time are in danger every day
The coming year should see a num-
Der Of them fall.
WILLIS WARD, a Michigan fresh
w man, quite outdoes the best in
modern fiction. He is the best
foot ball prospect in years. AS junior
in high school he cleared 6 feet ~
inches in a high Jump and last year as
senior he aStounded a packed gym
nasium in Detroit by skimming over the
bar at feet and and a fraction.
And that, boys and girls, strongly
smacks of the wild and untamed her
bivorous mammals of Australia.
Ward is one OF the unlisted prospects
for the Olympic games and may cause
trouble. for the better known high
jumpers.

IA day who may rank well up with

back on the Stanford campus who will
be oficially introduced next Fall in the
person of Robert Maentz. Maentz
scales only 1876 pounds.
Maentz, however, has the happy
faculty of skipping through unseen
holes and then bidding adieu to the
secondary defense. He breaks into top
speed shade faster than the normally
fast ball carrier and Is throwback to
the old-fashioned idea Of helping shake
ones own self loose instead of placing
all the burden on the line. Maentz
was on the freshman team in 1880 and
will be varsity candidate for the first
time in 1882.
