University of Southern California versus Syracuse University, at the Coliseum. December 25th (Christmas Day).
Thus, as above, appeared the possible future situation as revealed by recent developments. Despite the fact that authorities do not wish to commit themselves to any definite statement, it is believed by most of the experts “<n the know” that the Trojans will actually engage the famous Orange eleven in the Coliseum on the above mentioned date.
Although Coach Henderson has stated that “there wt;i be no postseason games for U. S. C.,” is it recalled that at this time it seemed quite unlikely, as those Universities whose teams had shown better than U. S. C. in the Conference would get the invitation. Since Washington and California had both placed above U. S. C.. it vas felt the latter school was not entitled to represent the West. However, since that time. Washington has revealed herself to be not a bit stronger (if. as strong) than U. S. C. The showing that Washington made against California was admittedly inferior to that of U. S. C. Trojans scored against California, a feat which Stanford and Washington were unable to accomplish. being beaten (Continued on page 6)

Last Game of Season Finds Trojans Now Tied at Third Place With Stanford in the Pacific Coast Conference
By ROSS WILLS
Ol Trojan assumed a new role last Saturday afternoon. He revived an old popular dance, once known as “Walking the Dog." In this case it was Idaho s canine that got the salubrious walking, such an energetic exercising indeed that said purp limped cheerlessly off the Coliseum gridiron with nine painful kinks in his pins, symbolic of a 9 to 0 victory which the Trojan won over him.
That dog-gone dog, a large burly looking Police mongrel, sported a nice clean crimson and orange blanket labeled “Vandals" when he was led on the field. And while M. Fitzke, crack Idaho punter, kind of limbered up his pedals with a few careless 70-yd.
“pre-game punts that dog-gone dog struted up and down the Idaho sidelines barking ominously, triumphantly, at Gloomy Gus over on the Trojan side. Gloomy hesitated, a bit startled for a few moments, staring almost pop-eyed alternately at Fitzke's 70-yd. pre-game punts

to out-punt and forward pass the Trojans to a nice brown frazzle, got out-punted and out forward passed. In fact, it was Dolley who caught a pass from Campbell in the second quarter and whizzed by four tacklers, 14 yards to a touchdown, much to the visible and audible chagrin of Coach Bob Mathews of the Vandals. Hawkins calmly added the extra digit. The other two points came in the last period when Swede Anderson swooped upon Fitzke and blocked an attempted pasj behind the Vandal goal and Hobbs Adams fell on the ball for a safety.
Save for one spurt in the second reriod by the Vandals when they rushed the ball to the two-inch line, where the Trojans held, the game was all Cardinal and Gold. However, that aint the half of it, dearie. Several times the Trojans were within the 15 yd. line, twice within the ten yard zone, and three times at least were barely repulsed at the 1 to 5 yd. marks.
