Selection Climaxes Jones' Comeback
By Herb Kleia
The Trojan war horse rounded the long-sought prosperity corner of the gridiron world yesterday as Southern California was unanimously elected Pacific coast conference champion and Western Rose Bowl representative.	•
The announcement was made at noon yesterday by Dr. Hugh Willett, conference president, after a telegraphic vote had been tallied. The Rose Bowl invitation was accepted by the general athletic committee of the university at a luncheon meeting a few minutes later.
UNANIMOUS CHOICE SURPRISE
The unanimous election came as a complete surprise, because the tie between California and Southern California had caused more controversy than any other conference poll in recent years. The Beajrs had previously announced that they definitely considered themselves as the logical candidates for the championship. This was the first time in the conference history that the election has ever been polled ' without a dissenting vote.
The official announcement of the acceptance was issued by Willis O. Hunter, director of athletics, as follows; 'The University of Southern California appreciates the honor conferred by the Pacific Coast conference ln being selected for the Rose Bowl game at Pasadena, January 2. We are proud of the record made by our football teams there, and I am sure Coach Howard Jones and the Trojan players will do their Jevel best to see that the Far West makes a strong showing at Pasadena.”
BID ENDS JONES’ JOB RUMORS
The story of the Trojan victory was that of a successful | climax to the comeback of Coach Howard Jones who brought his team back into national prominence after slipping from : the gridiron pinnacle ln 1933. The Rose Bowl bid put a definite end to rumors concerning Jones’ Job which have reappeared continuously during the last three years. The S.C. coach has an all time record of 180 victories against 59 losses and 16 ties. He has coached the Trojans to three national championships and seven conference titles.
With a game with Notre Dame still left on the schedule. Southern California has a record of seven victories and two defeats for the season. Overwhelming victories over California and UCLA were chiefly responsible in garnering the Pasadena game for the Trojans. In their conference game, S.C. deefated the Bears, 13-7.
S.C. DROPS OPENER
The Trojans started the season ln a doubtful fashion and were defeated by Alabama, 19-7. They improved with each start, howevfer, and defeated Oregon State, Ohio State, Washington State, Oregon, Stanford, and California before bowing to Washington, 7-6. On Thanksgiving day S.C. walloped UCLA, 42-7. The record brought the Thundering Herd from last season’s tie for fifth place in the league to this year’s title.
Upon hearing the news of his team’s selection, Coach Howard Jones said: “I’m proud of my boys, and I think they deserve the championship. I believe that they will prove to be worthy representatives of themselves, thlr school, and the Far West.”
CAPTAIN McNEIL HAPPY
When asked how lt felt to captain a Rose Bowl team, Captain Don McNeil replied, "How would you feel? I’m happy, but right now we’ve got to beat Notre Dame to bolster our record a little more." The rest of the players received the news Jubilantly and speculated on,,the possibilities of Duke and Texas Christian as possible Eastern representatives.
Representing the Southern California student body, ASSC President Henry Flynn stated, “I’m especially pleased with the unanimous vote which ls emblematic of the fine spirit between the schools of the coast conference. We've got a fine team and deserved to win "
TICKET! OO ON SALE
Tickets for the game will be put on sale about December 10 Holders of student books will be able to buy rooter’s tickets for $1.65 and will be given preference on two other tickets at the regular prices of $4.40 and $3 30 . Season ticket holders, alumni, and members of the various Trojan clubs will also be given preference over the general public, according to Arnold Eddy, general manager of the student body.
The January 2 game will mark the fifth appearance of Southern California in the Rose Bowl, and the Trojans are undefeated in the Pasadena competition. In 1923 8.C., under "Gloomy” Ous Henderson, defeated Penn State. 14-3. Coached by Howard Jones, the Thundering Herd trampled Pittsburgh 47-14, in 1930 Ernie Plnckert lead the Trojans to a 21-11 victory over Tulane In 1932. In its last New Year’s game ln 1938, Southern California annihilated Pittsburgh, 35-0
