Premiership Is Declined By Barthou
French Senator Unable To Form New Cabinet; Renounces Acceptance.
PAltlS, Dec. 8. (Monday)-(UP)— Failure met tho efforts of Senator Louis Barthou to organize a new cabinet over the week-end, and the elderly, white-bearded states man early today renounced his ac ceptance of the Premiership.
The senntor had tho support of powerful factions but lt was in dlcated that ho lacked the political leadership to Inspire confidence among the party leaders, and they refused to co-operate with him in organizing a ministry.
The Republican Democratic Un Ion, a slrong supporter of former Premier Andre Tardleu, voted against co-operation with senator Barthou. This action complicated an already difficult situation, and earlier optimistic reports faded, al thought there were some who still believed he would be able to form Ills cabinet in the next 24 hours.
Senator Barthou accepted the appointment Saturday, and spent the week end hard at work seeK Ing to organize a ministry to succeed the government of Andre Tardieu, overthrown in the senate last Thursday by an 8 vote minority.
Notre Dame’s Deceptive Attack Completely Baffles Southern Californians; Carideo, Metzger, and O'Connor Are Stars
By LAUREN DAHL Climaxing their greatest football season in history in a blare of glory, the Notre Dame Ramblers outpointed the Thundering Herd of Troy in every department of play l>ut kicking to win the widely heralded grid finale in the coliseum '‘Saturday, 27-0.
The Trojans fought hard and wore game until the last minute of play but they were no match for the smooth-running machine of the Irish eleven which functioned as a unit under the direction of Carideo, an all-American if there ever waa one.
Thus the Trojans ended their season with eight victories and two defeats while tbe fighting Irish from South Bend annexed their second consecutive national football championship and increased their string of victories to 19 straight.
BEATTY’S DRIVE FAILS Only once during the entire game did the Trojan horde get within scoring distance and that was near the end of the game when Blanchard Beatty, third string quarter, started a drive toward the Notre Dame goal line which appeared as if It might be successful. The gun cut short the Trojans' chances with the S. C. eleven unable to score during the entire fray.
Jones Btarted the game with his first string but It failed to stop the Notre Dame onslaught which recorded twice ln the flrst quarter.
A bad break of the game gave the Ramblers their first chance to score wnen Musick fumbled a poor pass from center after having knocked down a Notre Dame forward pass on tbe previous play to give the ball to the Trojans. On the next play the fumble took place, Culver recovering for the Irish.
CARIDEO 8TRATEGI8T Carideo showed his generalship on the first play calling for a pass to himself from 8chwartz. This surprised the S. C. secondary defense, Carideo crossing the Trojan goal line for the first score of the game.
From then on the Irish held the upper band, gaining almost at will through the Trojan forward wall. Dullleld, playing his last game of college football, turned ln a great exhibition but IiIb efforts were ln vain with the fast charging Notre Dame line breaking thdough many times to stop the S. C. power
