It is the first time any team has beat
en- Notre Dame three times in row.
The Trojans, themselves defeated

the play running up nine first downs TO

in one touchdown, the Trojans gained
81 yards to Notre Danes 80.
Warburton remained out OF the hos
tilities until the second period, watching
one Trojan threat fail on Notre Danes

mered for consistent gains and then
thrilled the throng of $4,000 with a
sweeping dash around his right for IS
yards to Notre Danes 10.
With Haskell Wotkyns, he lugged 1t
to the 3-yard mark and then slipped
through what looked like an inpreg-
