SO. CALIFORNIA
 IS WINNER OVER
 k0TRE DAME SAT.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4-tR-The stunning Southern California de- feat of Notre Dame, 9-7, leaves an especially sweet taste in Trojan Coach Jeff Cravath's mouth today.
 He explained the 1926 Trojan team which began the series with the South Renders, but never before had experienced a USC victory as player or coach. This was the first USC win since the late Howard Jones team beat Notre Dame 20-12 in 1889.
 The talk on the Trojan campus is not only of Jim Sears 94-yard kickoff return for the tying touch- down Saturday. and Paul Me- Murtry's block of a Notre Dame punt which led to the winning saf- ety, but of the Trojan bunting.
 Bill Jessup's kicking, particularly his first six boots, averaged AT yards apiece.
 The great Irish quarterback, Bob 20, of Baltimore, carried from the field in the fourth quarter, suffered a fracture in the eighth thoriacic vertebra and was hos pitalized while body cast was ap- piled.

NAVY WILL CUT
 GRID SCHEDULE:
 BEAT ARMY SAT,

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. - R - Navy accepted college footballs ac- colades today for it's stunning 14-2 conquest of mighty Army but re- mained firm in it's determination to soften future schedules.
 This victory, pleasant as it was, will have no effect on our deem- phasis program said Capt. Howard Caldwell, stocky, beetle -browed ath- letic director of the Annapolis Academy.
 "We simply can't go on playing such back-breaking schedule year-in and year-out, It's suicidal"
 Navy has cancelled it's 1952-53 home-and-home agreement with Ohio State. It will play Rice next year in Houston and ask the South west school to drop the 1852 game at Baltimore, please.
 Navy officials feel that the Mid dies, who won only three of their AiiiiS Sd4liCo, lll1SllJ lldfC lldC dil excellent season if they hadn't bit ten off more schedule than they could chew.
 T think one of the big reasons that we beat Army is that we had two full weeks to get ready" said Eddie Erdelatz, moon-faced, 36- year-old coach of the future Ad- mirals.
 Navy's convincing triumph in Philadelphia's Municipal Stadium Saturday, snapping Army's 28-game unbeaten streak. left baffled experts clawing for explanations.
 Army's Coach Earl (RedD .Blaik accepted the setback without ex- cuses and apparently without sur prise.
 I've said all along Navy was due to explode against somebody" he said. They just kicked the heck out of us, that's all"

 The upset, that ancient whammy which has plagued basketball fav- orites since the games inception in 1891, already has chewed into the ranks of some 1850 hopefuls.
 The season is only week old but Rice, Michigan, Texas, Loyola of Chicago, Pittsburgh and Dartmouth have been stung by the upset jinx. And, with a full schedule on tap for this week, many more prominent teams are expected to tumble.
 But Bradley University and CCNY, which last season met in the finals of the two big post season tournaments, are off to fast starts. The "grand-slam" Beavers from City College have rolled past two minor foes, St. Francis of Brooklyn and Queens College, while the Peoria, H., Braves opened Sat- urday with a 94s73 romp over Hous- ton in a Missouri Conference tilt.
 In Saturdays m-reversals, Wheaton tripped Loyola of Chi cago, 62-60, in overtime; St. Mi chae's edged Dartmouth, 46-42; Kent State surprised Pittsburgh, 51-46; Centenary whipped Rice, 62-54; Miami of Ohio downed Mich igan, 44-36; and Sam Houston State upset Texas, 55-44.

SEC Calls on Congress
For More Authority 10.
Guard Big Investors

The Securities and Exchange
Commission today asked Congress
for broader authority in the Sc
curities field.
The Government agency,
charged with keeping an eye on
dealings in stocks and other Sc
curities, proposed to extend pro-
visions of the 1884 Securities Act
to large corporations whose securi-
ties are not registered on ex-
changes.
The SEC said an amendment it
submitted would give protection to
investors holding securities valued
at $4,000, ,O0O, 900 and traded in
at the rate of $500, 200, 900 a
year.
Would Affect 1,100 Companies.
1t would apply to- all corpora
tions having at least $4,000, 900 in
assets and 800 or more security
holders. 1t was estimated the
broadened authority would affect
1.100 companies not now required
to file reports with the commits
sion and about $50 additional
companies that file some reports.
A similar request in 1916 was
not acted on by Congress.

In a letter accompanying the
request. Mr.. Mcdonald pointed out

u. 5. Begins Checkup
Ito Learn How Much
lis Lost in Tax Evasion
BY the Associated Press

The Government has launched
an intensive study to learn how
many billions of dollars it is losing
each year to tax-dodgers.
AS an official disclosed this to-
day, a check of Government sta
tistics showed that almost. $50,-
900 ,000,0 900 of estimated personal
income fails to appear in annual
income tax files. That is almost
one-fourth of all personal income.
A substantial portion OF this
such as income of persons making
less than 5000 year, certain
military pay, relief payments and
penSions-is not taxable.
However. some authorities be-
lieve a sizable part of the $50
100000 represents money that
should have been reported on in
come tax returns, and wasn't.
Disclosure of the Government
study in this field came after
Chairman Doughton of the House
Ways and Means Committee and
Representative Forand, Democrat,
of Rhode Island, a committee
member, suggested a breakdown.
Each said that if taxpayers paid
the Government every dollar owed
1t under present law this might
come near balancing the budget
without an increase in taxes.

IChinese Admiral Calls
ON American Envoy

TAIPEI, Formosa, Jan. 8 (R.-
United States Charge d'Affaires
Robert Strong and Chinese Ma
tionalist Admiral Kwei Yung-
ching today informally discussed
the shelling of the American
freighter Flying Arrow by Ma
tionalist warships.
The admiral paid a courtesy
call on the American official just
after Mr.. Strong received reports
of the shelling.
Admiral Kwei, commander in
chief of the Nationalist navy and
leading figure in the blockade of
Communicated ports, said the
Flying Arrow was lying at anchor
of the mouth of the Yangtze at
l pm. local time (midnight Sun
day, EST.
Admiral Kwei answered a list
Of questions submitted to him by
the Associated Press before the
incident. In his answers he made
it plain that the Nationalists were
determined to intercept the Fly
ing Arrow. If she succeeded in
slipping into Shanghai then Ma
tionalist warships planned to lie
in wait for her to emerge from the
Yangtze River on her way out.
Admiral Kwei admitted that the
British might interfere with what
he termed 'our Foreclosure pol
ICY"
This was in reply to a question
whether he thought the British
Navy would escort British mer-
chantmen to blockaded ports or
sweep Nationalist mine fields.
The admiral said the Commu-
nists were bound to fail If they
tried to invade Formosa, last
Nationalist stronghold. He said
lack of navy and air force would
doom Red efforts to take the
island. He said the best invasion
months from a weather stand
point would be April and June.

Capt. Jones requested the ships

cede for safe passage to the nearest
port for repairs. Shanghai is the
nearest port.
1n New York H. ]. Isbrandt-
sen, president of the line, called
for protection of the Flying
Arrow by United States naval
units. He said the shelling of
the ship was entirely unlawful

sen said, "the United States

Shortly thereafter they started
pumping shells into and over the

First 3S Shells Miss.
Two Chinese Nationalist de-
stroyer escorts tailed the vessel
from the time she passed through

trip from Hong Kong. They fired
at least 38 shells at the vessel
before they scored a hit. But

Jones said the ships STERLING
room was hit by IA shells. After
deck houses and the water tank
were riddled by other shells.
The ship dropped anchor two
miles off the mouth of the Yangtze
river, main entrance to Shanghais
harbor. The Nationalists say they
have mined the rivers mouth. It
may be possible the Communists
in Shanghai have swept away the
mines.
Fires broke out first on the
ships after deck. Then cargo in
the No. s hold blazed up.
The Chinese attack started
shortly after the 6,214 ton vessel
arrived in international waters of
the mouth of the Yangtze.
The Flying Arrow was the
fourth Isbrandtsen ship shelled by
the Nationalists as they tried to
run the blockade. The Flying
Trader was fired on October is,
but escaped unharmed. The Flying
Cloud was shelled November Is
and the Sir John Franklin on
November %. Both were hit. -

brandtsen ship, the Brooklyn
Heights, is scheduled to sail
for Shanghai Wednesday. She
carries a crew of 42.)
Eleven American members of
the Flying Arrows crew left the
ship in Hong Kong rather than
risk the trip to Shanghai. Addl-
tional crewmen. most of them
British, were taken on.
When today's attack began
Capt. Jones radioed all American
and British warships in the area !:
