LOS ANGELES, December IA
Pittsburgh had Whitley Randour on
its side today and his presence meant
the foot ball game won by the Pam
thers from the University of Southern
California, II to 7.
1t gave Pitt a large measure of re-
Venge for two Rose Bowl defeats at
the hands of the Trojans.
Randour scored his first touchdown
Of the season after he had gained
more than 75o yards this Fall without
crossing the goal line, and this was
the difference in the final accounting.
The halfback was constant threat,
for even when he did not run with
the ball, the Trojans thought he
might.
Southern California gave the crowd
of approximately $4,000 its first
chance to yell for the House of Troy
when the game had less than min
ute to go by completing pass from
the Pitt 39-yard line, Dave Davis to
Bill Gainsford, who caught the ball
on the 10-yard line and ran on to
score.
Barely Avert ShutOut.
THE TRoJANs escaped a shutout
l. in the fifty-ninth second of the
eleventh hour, when it seemed they
never would score. The PantherS'
great defensive play had stopped the
Trojans a minute before, when they
took the ball on the 1-yard line,
and in the second period the home
guards had seen the door shut in its
face on the 5-yard line.
Pitt, too, had its chances but could
capitalize on only two. Pittsburgh
scored the first touchdown Of the
game in the middle of the first period
when Frank Souchak intercepted a
pass in midfeld. He found himself
surrounded evenly by mass Of Tro-
jans and tossed the ball to Paul Shaw,
who struggled a few more yards to
Southern CALIFORNIA; 9yard line.
Three plunges left the ball only
yard from the goal, and Frank Pat
rick plunged over on the fourth try.
The second score for the visitors
came after a march of 81 yards. With
two dashes of Is yards by Randous
helping their cause, the Partners
moved steadily to within 7 yards Of
two dashes of 25 yards by Randour
then helped himself to his only touch
down of the year. Homer Beatty
blocked the try for extra point.
Holds on One-Yard Line.
Pitts sensational goal line stand
came lust before the Trojans regis
tered their lone marker. Beatty inter-
cepted a pass on Pitts 33-yard line
and q pass from Glenn Thompson TO
Alvin Kidder placed the ball on the
IT. Pitt was penalized five yards for
taking too much time out and a pass
from Thompson to Cliff Propst placed
the ball on the 10-yard line.
Thompson picked up two yards and
when Pitt was offside, the ball was
placed one yard from the goal. Propst
failed to gain. Thompson, too, failed
but Pitt WIS offside. Thompson lost a
yard, and gained only one yard in two
tries when two yards were needed,
Pitt taking the ball.
Pitt kicked out to the 42-yard line
and with the ball again in their pos
session the Trojans demonstrated
they could score from 80 yards when
they couldn't from the one.
Souchak Is Brilliant.
SoUcHAK, a brilliant end. shared
- the Pittsburgh spotlight with Ran
dour, while Davis was Southern Cali
fornia's best back and Gil Kuhn stood
out in the line. Davis, with a sprint of
Is yards, made the only long run OF
the day for the home team.
The game marked the end Of the
foot ball trail for the Pittsburghers
who have been defeated only once
this season but have bumped into two
desdlocks.
Southern California closed its most
disastrous season in years in the
United States proper but has couple
of engagements left in Hawaii. Today's
defeat was the seventh of the year for
Southern California against only three
victories.
