PASADENA, Calf, Jan. 2.-Foot-
balls Gibraltar was mass of
crumbled ruins today-the team
that couldn't be beaten met up yes
terday with the team that wouldn't
be beaten.
Southern California was the toast
of the Rose Bowl; Tennessee a new
member of the losing team brigade
and shorn of distinction that began
accumulating back in the season Of
1887
The 14-to-0 score deciding the
25th Rose Bowl classic, witnessed by
jammed-in crowd of $4,000, was
the most conclusive since Pittsburgh
won from Washington here in 1887,
81 to 0.
Tennessee staked one of the Ma
tion's greatest gridiron regulations
in the game. Defeat called a halt
to a consecutive victory record Of %
hooked together through two full
seasons and part of third. Until
the Southern California Trojan
power machine rolled to touchdown
in the second period, Tennessee's
goal line had not been crossed in Is
encounters-10 last year and S in
1898.
Trojans Great, Neyland Says.
The best backfeld man in the
Tennessee string played parts of the
game handicapped by knee injury.
Whether a George Bad News"
Cafego in top physical condition
would have STAYED off the Trojan
yard-gaining landslide was a matter
Of debate among grandstand master
minds
A prepared statement issued by
Maj. Bob Neyland, Tennessee coach,
seemed to express the sentiments of
most of the experts.
1t said: 1--WE were badly beaten
by superior team. I want to con-
gratulate Howard Jones and his
staff for the fine team they have
turned out"
From start to finish Southern CAL
ifornia left little doubt as to which
side was superior
1t outdowned and outgained Ten
nessee on the ground and when
checked there took to the air.
Tennessee came to the West Coast
for the first time heralded as a de-
fensive threat. When the Trojan
off-tackle plays began clicking the
Volunteer line burst before the roll
ing flood.
SCHNEIDER Games Star.
Ambrose SCHNEIDER, housekeeping
quarterback who has run the gamut
of playing from first string to third
and back again, was the firebrand
in the latest Southern California
Rose Bowl victory. of which there
have been six in as many appear
ances.
1t was SCHNEIDER who sparked the
two scoring drives, late in the Sec
ond quarter and again toward the
tail end of the fourth.
The first touchdown march
opened on the Tennessee 47-yard
line. SCHNEIDER had returned a punt
10 yards to set the stage. He car
ried the ball in five of the six
ground plays and tossed an 11-yard
pass to a teammate in one of the
other two gamers. He finally went
over from the 1-foot line.
The last-period touchdown gave
the assembled thousands true pic
ture of Trojan power. The team
passed and smashed IS yards after
recovering Tennessee tumble.
Fred Newman, Volunteer fullback,
had dropped the ball, and U. S. c.
Sub Halfback Joe Engle had snaked
it into his own arms on his Is.
SCHNEIDER was in the role of field
marshal. He directed an attack
that brought ready praise from his
coach. Headman Jones is not re-
nowned for lavishness in this respect
Fumble Stops Tennessee.
Twice in the thrust, line batteriup
or skirting failed. SCHNEIDER turned
to the air. The second such sortie
brought the second score. The ball
was on the 1-yard line. Tennessee
players tightened for another plunge.
SCHNEIDER passed over the goal line
to his left to AL Kruger, sub left
end. The Volunteers were caught
f1at-footed.
When Tennessees Newman
fumbled it ended the only scoring
bid of the team from the Old South
the only time it had been able to
advance the oval past midfeld.
Had Newman held onto the leather,
the game might have ended in a
tie. Tennessee, taking the ball on
its 1-yard line after a punt out Of
bounds, had driven exactly 80 yards
to Southern CALIFORNIA; 10. The
charge opened late in the third and
ended early in the fourth quarter.
A 36-yard pass from Right Half Bob
Foxx to End Jim Coleman was the
high light of the Vols lone long
yardage parade.
