BREAKS AID IN S. C. WIN
Dry Field and Warm Weather Proves Helpful To Jonesmen; Hill Stars.
By GEORGE HARRIS
Amid a galaxy of touchdowns, a scene of perfect football execution, and an orgy of penalties, the Southern California varsity effectively trounced the team of the University of Washington to the tune of 48-0 In the Seattle stadium last Saturday afternoon. Never has the Husky been beaten so badly by the Trojan.
The stellar performance of the prima donnas of the football squad especially of Tony Steponovich, Jesse Hill, Marshall Duf-field, and Nate Barrager, not to mention Jimmie Musick and Russ Saunders, In their latest epic, "Football as it should be Played,” will be membered by the genial hosts in the Northwest.
SCORE SEVEN TOUCHDOWNS The Thundering Herd Bcored seven touchdowns, five of them directly around right end. Much of the success of these point scoring juants was due to the splendid interference of the right guardian angel, Mr. Steponovich. One of the scores was made through center by Jesse Hill, and just as the final gun popped, Marger Apsit intercepted Geehan's pass for the conclusive score of the day.
The difference between the team that beat Washington and the team that won over Oregon State was as-toundingly noticeable.
The flrst quarter provided every Trojan fan with very thrilling and disheartening momentB. It looked as if another recurrance of the Washington State game of three years ago, w*as about to be dished up. Merle Hufford and Bill Marsh, Purple and Gold backfield aces, were able to wade through the Trojan line for huge gains because of the gaping holes opened by the great Paul Jessup at tackle and Kaetz at center.
SUPERNATURAL HELP
The Trojans j	gig must have prayed
t	yss I before the game,
[	because every time
t li e opposition would come within scoring distance, some s u pernatural force would inspire them and two good breaks helped them keep the slate clean of scores. Varnell, the referee, made the breaks by nullifying two Husky touchdowns by Hufford; the flrst because Hufford had stepped outside during the run, and the second because of holding by a Washington player.
The cry ot the Trojan was flrst heard when Southern California received the ball on downs from Washington on the S. C. 20 yard line and Harry Edelson climbed through a right guard gap made by Barrager for (Continued on Page Two)
