Opposing Coaches Praise Playing In Saturday’s Football Classic *
By JOHN FLOR
A golden haze floated before the eyes of 75,000 lovers of the manly game of football when the ferocious ‘ Golden Bears” invaded the hufe Los Angeles Coliseum and demonstrated their superiority over the Cardinal and Gold warriors of Troy. The fans witnessed last Saturday the greatest game of football ever played in the West, and showed their appreciation of the struggle by cheering the two best gridiron creations on the coast until their voices had reached the high heavens. It can be said with safety that the spotlight of the entire football world was focused on the Bear-Trojan battle to see whether or not Coach Andy Smith had produced another “Wonder Team," cr whether Coach Elmer C. Henderson had built up a gridiron aggregation which would subdue the mighty Bear. The results of the encounier are inclined to show that Coach Smith, the Czar of Fcotballdom, has built another championship team-
In football Coach Andy Smith is what Jack Dempsey is to boxing, Charles Paddock is to the track, and what McGraw is to baseball, the premier of them ali. By virtue of producing three “Wonder Teams” and defeating the cream of the Eastern teams Coach Smith has been basking in the spotlight, and rightly so, as the foremost mentor of tie gridiron. For four years, the powerful Bear has not tasted of the bitter cup of defeat, and only twice have other teams tied them, namely, Washington and Jefferson, and Nevada. In the course of th;eo veais Coach Smith has developed stellar pigskin artists, one “Brick” Mul er who was selected by famous Walter Camp as the greatest end man for the season of 1922 aud 1923, and many other players who received mention by Walter Camp.
Coach Andy Smith states in reference to the game Saturday, “A finer game 1 never witnessed. Much praise belongs to both teams, for clean sportsmanship. The California men were more than grateful for the reception given them. Coach Henderson has a wonderful machine and deserving of praise.”
The football world regards Coach Elmer C. Henderson as one of the cleverest in the business and expects the Trojan mentor to turn the Bears topsy-turvy every time the two meet. There is no coach who respects and fears Henderson’s ability more than Coach Mr. Andrew Smith. Last year the Trojans outclassed and outfought the Penn. State machine in such a decisive manner that the sporting world awakened to the fact that the Southern California eleven are at all times dangerous. The fight that has made the Trojan squad famous was brought to the Cardinal and Gold institution by ‘‘Gloomy Gus.” In the past three years the Trojan lost but three games, losing all three to California.
Coach Henderson states in speaking about the Bear-Trojan game, “The game last Saturday was a wonderful game- I never witnessed such a well played game before in my entire life. The two teams exhibited to the fans the cleanest type of football possible. Coach Smith has produced another mighty team. The University <Jf Southern California has won another victory. Its rooting, band, clean sportsmanship and undying spirit won the admiration and confidence of the West. The Trojan team fought the type of fight which wins the heart of all. Although defeated they gave the best within their power. I am mighty proud of the showing that they made.”

Highlights of Contest Show Both Elevens Played Brilliant Game
THRILLS~PLENTIFUL
Evans, Witter, and Blewett Star for Bears; Dolley Plays Great Game
By JACK OLDS
All the Trojans were valiant”— jUst about sums up the home team’s capers in the Coliseum against the Bears last Saturday, and so the first paragraph of this story is dedicated to Captain Chet Dolley and the U. S. Z. varsity.
The second stanza we give unreservedly to “Hoggy" Evans, Jack Witter and Bill Blewett of California. It was quarterback Evans’ noodle and Blewett’s trusty right arm that completely fooled Elmer Henderson’s squad and gave the Golden Bears their victory. Witter’s terrific line plunging offset the brilliant and thrilling last minute stand of U. S. C. when they swept the entire length of the field for a touchdown.
THERE WERE THRILLS The memory and the thrill of those last four minutes of play will linger long in the memories of the thrill crazy thousands who saw Wallace Newman injected into play in the last few minutes start a barrage of passes that carried the Trojans to the one yard - line.
Seldom has such an exhibition of accurate passing and cool-headedness under fire been displayed as Chief Newman treated the crowd to Saturday. The Chief’s passes were long, accurate, and as true as a die. Long live the chief.
HONORS TO CHET Chet Dolle.v’s great defensive playing and generalship was a noticeable feature of the game. Chet is the first footballer to cross the California squad’s goal line this year.
On down the line one might enumerate the feature playing of the Trojans and the Bears. “Swede” Anderson played a brilliant game in breaking up some of Andy Smith’s pet plays, and once John Hawkins broke through and blocked an attempted drop kick by the versatile Blewett. Campbell with a cracked rib furnished a few thrills and gave an exhibition of real honest to goodness grit, and Otto Anderson’s punting, end running and hard tackling was a mighty fine thing to look on.
There were no breaks and the Bine and Gold’s victory was a hard earned (Continued on Sport Paste)
Not Without Honor
Coach Elmer C. Henderson’s Team lost to a better team Saturday, but his squad holds the honor of being the only aggregation to score on Andy Smith’s “Wonder Team” tnis season. Each year the score at the great game indicates less of a mar gin for the Bears. U. S. C. Fans are therefore looking to the future

CALIFORNIA ALUMNUS
SHOWS REAL SPEED
Julius Kahn, Jr., probably spent less time coming down from Berkeley for the big scrap Saturday than any other California man. He flew down in his plane in three hours and 18 minutes, arriving at Rogers Airport at 2:05. Kahn was head of the California R. O. T. C. during the war. He is a member of Zeta Beta Tua.
Eight New Members Will Be Initiated Into Quill Thursday
Genius will be crowned both literally and figuratively when the Quill Club meets for initiation next Thursday nigh’ at eight o’clock at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Allison Gaw, 1915 Cordova Street. The new geniuses who will be admitted into the club at this time are Ross Wills. Katherine Kirker. Chester Mackie, Dorothy Edwards. Carey McWilliams, Lois Craven. Elinor Ives, and Emilie Collins. These persons were selected as being eligible to membership to the club in a recent MSS contest which was conducted by the organization.
The neophites, as part of the initiation. will be put through a rigid literary examination. They will be expected to answer correctly questions pertaining to the past, present, and future literary production of
Earth. Mars, and Watts. The initiate who answers the most questions, it is said, will be given an elegant memento of the occasion.
The local Quill Club is the Os Rune Chapter of the National College Quill Club. The members are primarily interested in creative writing. Consequently, the initiates have been ordered to compose sonnets that can be recited as dramatic monologues at the initiation. These, it is hoped, will be prime examples of their creative abil-j ity.
Attendance at the initiation is compulsory. old members who are not present will have their names dropped from the roll of the club. Such persons cannot be re instated until they have paid the fee stipulated in the I constitution of the organization.
SPORTSMANSHIP DISPLAYED AT BIG GAME
WAS FINEST EVER SEEN ON PACIFIC COAST
By AL TACHET
Regardless of the fact that U. S. C. was defeated last Saturday, the game was the finest spectacle of sportsmanship, both on the field and in the stands, ever witnessed on the Pacific Coast. The sight of 72,000 enthusiastic football fans is a thing in itself which stands out without a precedent. The throng was thoroughly alive to the sport, and every unusual play of football brought cheers from the thousands on one side, and then on the other. Never before has there (been an event in the history of the West which has called forth the concentrated and tense interest, as well as the unreserved enthusiasm, or so immense a crowd as that which cheered itself hoarse fighting for the varsities of California and U. S. C. last Saturday.
The interest really never lagged
It was always high, but at times it soared and swelled carrying everything with it. The spirit of the mob was irresistible. Dignified spectators could not restrain themselves in critical moments of play; and they too joined in the yelling, j It was a glorious spectacle, and if some people did forget themselves, they probably feel only the better j for it.

Admirable sportsmanship was displayed by the rooting sections of both Universities. California’s singing lived up to its reputation and won the deserved applause of the entire crowd. The Golden Bear yell, and the California Hail song were done magnificiently, and the bleacher stunts were executed almost perfectly.

share toward making the game memorable by giving its finest performance this season. Some of the march formations were not executed with particularly straight lines, nevertheless, the band was there with the music. To say the least, the band scored a hit.
California’s serpentine at the close of the game was a beautiful spectacle. The serpentine wound around in a most novel manner as the Bear band played its victory songs with much gusto and life.
Courtesy and fine sportsmanship on both sides distinguished the exchange of yells after the game. There was no deliberate cutting in on one another nor were there loud jeers by individuals. In fact, the small town element was totally absent. The singing of “Alma Mater” and “All Hail Blue and Gold,” was almost reverently done. Beyond the slightest doubt, good feeling was mutual as the rooters of both sides left the field.
In the words of the old-time newspaper man, “A good time was had by all.”

72.500 SEE BIG GAME
Bears Make Touchdowns on Clever and Thrilling Trick Plays
By ROSS WILLS
California’s Bear, the famous Golden critter, trimmed the Trojans by a 13 to 7 count last Saturday at ihe Coliseum, in the annual battle royal between the two rivals. That Bear did it decisively, too, but not until the Trojan had staged the most thrilling rally in the last five minutes of the game that ever rocked and swayed
72.500 spectators from their seats.
Despite the fact that the Bear and
especially the Trojan, were not quite the powerful units they were a year ago, the game Saturday was undoubtedly the greatest battle, from every standpoint, ever waged on the Pacific Coast. It was fight! fight! fight! And the Bear surely realized, when the final gun cracked, and Dolley had put over his great touchdown, tl at he had been through his mightiest tussle in many a day.
FI6HT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
California’s touchdowns, both clever and thrilling enough, did not create half the roar that reverb-rated throughout the stadium when U. S. C. staged her great march to a veritable triumph in defeat. It began on Trojan’s 17 yr. line, after the Cardinal and Gold men had fought tooth and nail to keep the Bears from scoring again. Newman had just gone in for Otto. There were five minutes left to play and the Trojans HAD to score.
TROJANS’ GREAT RALLY
Dolley called a spread formation; Newman drew back and calmly shot a pass to the afore-menUoned for a 20 yd. gain. Trojans were now on the 30 yd. mark. The next pass by Newman failed, but on a repeated attempt he heaved a long one over to Dorsey, who was just in reach of It when a Bear tackier knocked him aside. Referee Varnell ruled that this was unnecessary roughness and Trojans took the ball on their own 50 yd. mark.
ROOTERS WENT WILD
Again Newman shot a faultless pass this time received by LeFebvre for an 8 yd. gain. The stands were raving now, and the Trojan side was a conglomerate mass of maniacs, clam-mering for a touchdown. Then Newman pushed a long one over the heads of the Bears; the ball slipped into a | Trojan’s mitts, bounced into Dixon’s arms, bounced out again and Gene Dorsey finally hooked the pellet just before it hit the ground and S. C. had the ball on the Bear 12 yd.
! line.
DOLLEY GOES OVER
* On the first play here LeFebvre 1 made a yard around end, and on the next a half yard. Then “Big Chief” hurled another pass to Dorsey who took the ball to the 1 yd. mark to the wild and raving howls of the Trojans' stands. Three pays and the Trojans eased the ball to the 6 in. mark, j Would they get it over in time? There I were only ten seconds left before the final whistle blew. Chet Dolley called a brief conference, shouted signals, (CONTINUED ON PAGE 4)
As One Trojan Girl Saw The Big Trojan-Bear Game
Gee, it’s awful to be a girl! All a girl could do at that game Saturday was sit and watch. I wished I was one of the football men down there, fighting, fighting with every bit cf strength and will they had.
And if I couldn’t be that, I wanted to be one of the rooting section, and yell and fight with the team. I wanted to wear a Cardinal and Gold hat and spell out T-R-O-J-A-N with the little cards.
But, no, I couldn’t do either of these things, but I certainly did concentrate on winning. I thought of the darky preacher treed by a bear who said, “Oh, Lord, if you can’t help me, don’t help that grizzly bear.” That was ’Ahat ' was saying. “Don’t help that old grizzly Cal. Bear.”
Seemed to me though that there were lots of times when somebody could have carried the ball across the line. Why, they’d all stop and talk and the ball was lying there with no one guarding it at all. I would have grabbed it and run, and run.
That wouldn't have been the game, you say? Well, I’m glad I’m not ?3 ignorant as the woman I heard exclaim, “See, they never take one out until they put another in.” Why even I knew there always has to be eleven on each side.
A fcotball game is not a place to make a girl contented with her lot. She's just not in it there, and the only place she can fill is a spectator’s who can't help at all.
