r. $40 Pittsburgh's foot ball
L team Southern California S
sturdy linemen still are "the
topleSS towers of Troy"
A revenge-seeking Panther pack
bounded relentlessly at the Trojan
nampartS in the Rose Bowl yes
Iterday before $4,000 persons, to
obtain after go minutes of fierce
doot ball only a 35-to-0 defeat.
1t was the most decisive score ever
written into the 18 years of rose tourna-
ImeIt intersectional grid history, eclipsing
that AZ to ID walloping the Trojans
meted out to Pitt three years ago.
To quote the man who should know
best, one DR.. John Balm Sutherland,
Panther coach, "it was simply a case
of too much guards and tackles"
The speed with which Coach Howard
Jones team struck in scoring its first
touchdown, and. the final score, bellttle
the valiant efforts of the invading
lPanthers who bit off more Trojan than
lthey could chew, and realizing it, kept
bright on fighting.
tD1TTsBURGH proposed to make it a
III punting duel at the start, with Bob
Hogan kicking on third down, after
taking the opening kickoff. But South
ern California would have none OF 1t.
In eight wisely selected plays, the
iast 33-yard pass, Homer Griffith TO
ford Palmer, Troy drove 81 yards to
"a touchdown The score came less than
IS minutes after the opening kickoff. !.
For q good half hour thereafter Pitt
kept the deceptive Trojan attack slowed
up to a snail's pace. Light, fast guards,
with Charles Hartwig, leading the as
sault, knitted in to stop the running
plays, while Ted Daley and joe Skla-
dany, ends, rushed passers and Ackers.
During this time the Panthers made
their bid-and failed. Henry Weisen-
baugh drove center and then dashed
down the Sidelines for 80 yards, but
Warren Heller passed the ball over the
goal line on the first play incomplete.
A partially blocked kick made the next
opportunity, but this time a tumble
checked offensive efforts Of Pitt.
r ATE in the third Trojan Capt. Tay
IL Brown recovered Mike Sebastian S
tumble on his 7-yard line. Pitts
burgh held Troy 2 yards short of the
goal, and Kenneth Bright, reformed
center playing left half, tossed a fiat
pass to Griffith for the second touch
down.
Panther resistance broke here, and
the Trojans turned loose series OF
slanting reverses and spinners through
the line. Irvine Warburton, 147-pound
quarterback who figured prominently in
the drive from the S. G. 34-yard line,
crawled through a tiny hole for the
third touchdown from the 6-inch mark.
! Palmer recovered Isadore Weinstock's S
tumble on the Panther 21-yard line, and
three plays later Warburton scored
without being touched on lateral from
Gordon Clark. The play was good for
10 yards. For the fourth consecutive
time, Ernie Smith, all-America tackle,
booted the ball through the goal posts
from placement for the extra point.
MYTH the Trojan third-string play
wv ers in the game, two substitute
ends blocked Hogan's punt stimuli
taneously. From the 15-yard line S. c..
drove to the final touchdown. Dick
Barber, a broadjumper by athletic vo-
cation, leaped over the line for the
score and George Lady, giant tackle,
added the point with a kick.
The Trojans rolled up % first downs
to 9 and out-gained Pitt 278 yards to
193. Two of Troy's four passes were
completed for touchdowns, while the
Panthers made of IL throws good.
Southern California held the punting
edge, averaging "a yards to 80. War
burton, with his flashes of speed, rolled
up the highest individual average with
n yards gained, followed by All-Amer-
lea Heller with a 63-yard total and
Grifith with 81.
The victory was the fourth for South
ern California In as many Rose tourna-
ments. 1t was the third unsuccessful
appearance for Pittsburgh.
