LAST MINUTE PASS GIVES D»h.nyFuh Final Troian Rallv TROJANS 9-7 VICTORY	1	Y
Lansdell Heaves Pass to Stonebraker To Win Over Washington as Huskies Display Power
Trojans 9. Washington 7! A touchdown pass with one minute and 15 seconds to play turned defeat into victory for Southern California’s Trojans Saturday and removed the next to last obstacle between Troy and the Rose Bowl.
The story-book finish was a reptition of the famous “Nave
co Krueger” pass which stopped ! Duke last New Year's day, but this | time Grenny Lansdell and John Stonebraker played the leading ! roles. The victory puts the Trojans ahead in the coast conference with UCLA only one-half game behind, i SC meets the Bruins next Saturday to decide the winner and Rose Bowl representative for the West.
Fifty thousand fans watched a stubborn Washington team finally give in after grabbing the lead in the first quarter and smashing drive after drive to keep the Trojans away from its goal.
HUSKIES SCORE EARLY
Washington scored just before the end of the first period on a 21-y^rd thrust ending with an 8-yard pass from Dean McAdams to Ernie Steele, who leaped high in the air to nab the ball in the end zone. John Mizen kicked the goal, giving the Huskies a 7 to 0 lead.
Sophs Retain Brawl Trophy
With a grunt and a groan, the sophomores out-pulled, out-pushed, and out-ran their perennial rivals, the freshmen, to re-capture the Homecoming brawl trophy in the contest at the coliseum Saturday.
The sophomores, led by Tom Gabbert. class president, overpowered their foes in each of the three events to gain undisputed possession of the gold “dink,” symbolic of class supremacy.
MORAL SUPPORT GIVEN In spite of the moral support offered by Virginia Bogart, sophomore queen, and Doris Schaefer, freshman queen, the “frosh” led by Bruce Graham, were unable to withstand the attack of their class superiors.
A flury of excitement was caused when the gold trophy suddenly disappeared from the coliseum track, where it was on display in front of the Trojan rooting section. SEARCH IS FUTILE Search proved futile until a request1 for the missing cup was made over the public address system. No questions were asked of the not-to-be-defeated freshman that brought the trophy from its hiding place.
Unconfirmed reports said an attempt1 had been made to snatch Gabbert from in front of Doheny Memorial library Friday. These were based in part1 on the chance “informal” meeting of a group of Squires and equally determined freshmen. Before they dispersed, several member* of both factions had their enthusiasm dampened in the nearby fountain.
RUMORS DISPELLED Rumors were dispelled when the class president appeared the next day to lead hi* team-mates to victory in the push ball contest, tug-o-war, and sack race.
A spokesman for the victorious sophomores last night said that some of the old tradition* regarding the conduct of freshmen had been rather sadly neglected in the past.
While I cannot make an official announcement,” he said, “there will be a decided change in policy concerning lowerclassmen relationships.”
Calling upon their fellow goldfish all over the world for moral aid, the peace-loving Doheny library fountain goldfish broke off all relations with the SC student body Friday.
For no reason apparent to them, an unwarranted bombardment of freshmen and squires into their watery homeland occured with devastating vapidity.
According to a source close to a “finned” leader. Golden Boy, indiscriminate blasting of collegiate bodies within the sacred limits of the fountain gave the scaled residents their biggest fright since the last goldfish purge by the more violent members of the Ivy league universities.
Such was the marine version of the freshman-sophomore preview to the coliseum encounter.

The two points that turned out to be the victory margin for SC came early in the last* quarter. Steele, who starred in the Husky backfield along with McAdams and Stackpool, intercepted Doyle Nave’s pass on his 1-yard line and stepped back over the goal line as he tried to run with the ball. This was an automatic safety for the Trojans, and made the score, Washington 7, Trojans 2. It looked as if the game would end that way as the Huskies stopped two more attempted SC drives and took possession of the ball on their own 30-yard line.
LOSE ELEVEN YARDS
After a net loss of 11 yard* in three tries at the line, McAdams punted for Washington, and the ball was downed on the Troy 40-yard stripe. There, with three minutes to go, Schindler failed to make it a first down in two runs and a pass. On fourth down he fired a pass to Hoffman, who streaked to the Husky 16.
The Trojans called for time out, and Coach Howard Jones sent in Bill Sangster and Lansdell. On the first play Grenny stepped back and threw the ball to Stonebraker, who caught it near the sidelines in the southeast comer of the end zone with no Husky player near him. BACKS SHARE HONORS

Brotherly Love Nets Pi KAs $300 Loss
Edward Baker is now a guest of the Seattle police department.
"Pledge of the Pi Kappa Alpha chapter of the University of Tennessee,” Baker was a much feted guest at the SC house last week. In fact he has been the guest of numerous Pi Kappa Alpha houses along the coast.
It seems that “brother Baker” liked the hospitality. He also liked the boys so much he thought he should have something to remem-
ber them by. So as souvenirs he took Jeff Hooker's $250 camera. Luke Swanson’s $15 sport coat, and
a $35 ring from an unidentified host.
Said he to police:
“I guess it is all over now. But it was fun while it lasted. Everywhere I went I was shown a grand
time.”
It appears that Baker thought he might like some of the boys at
the University of Washington. So he paid them a visit. But' the boys there received a letter from the boys of SC who liked Ed so well they wanted to see him again. If | Ed appeared at their house would | they be so kfcvl as Wo wire?
But instead the wire came from j the Seattle police. Do the Pi Kappa Alphas down here like Ed enough to extradite him? The Seattle police are waiting _for an answer.
