The incomparable Cecil B. De-Mille or a 6taff of Hollywood’s greatest script writers couldn’t have dreamt-up a more dramatic finish as supplied by Tsad Tsam Tsagalakis and his Trojan teammates in Saturday’s spine-tingler against the invading Stanford ; Tribe.
I In one quick blow, Tsakalakis and Co. “kicked” the Indians right out of the Rose Bowl with j an unbelievable last-minute field : goal that gave the Trojans a 23-20 win over the Palo Alto Farmhands, who entered the game with a perfeot 5-0 PCC record.
The crucial game, heralded by many as the most exciting football clash held in the Memorial Coliseum in the last ten years, was a natural—highlighted by the passing play of Stanford’s great quarterback, Bob Garrett; by
powerful offensive attacks on the part of both the Trojans and the Indians; and, finally’ by the terrific comeback performance of Coach Jess Hill’s charges.
All Washed Up
The Trojans, following their 13-7 setback to the Oregon Webfoots a week earlier, were “all'washed up,” according to many of the nation’s football experts. In three successive games, they were to play three of the nation’s powerhouse teams—the Stanford Indians, the UCLA Bruins, and the Irish from Notre Dame.
Well, it’s no secret what happened Saturday. And the fired-up Trojan gridders are now aiming for repeat» performances against the Bruin and Irish elevens.
The Trojans, however, will have to hold-off their rampaging antics for two weeks—with a bye weekend scheduled for this Saturday. The idle date, incidentally, couldn’t
have come at a more opportune time—giving the Trojans a well-earned rest and the opportunity to recover from minor injuries to key players.
‘Nervous’ Game
But, back to Saturday’s “nervous” game and to Tsad Tsam and his never-to-be-forgotten kick.
Tsagalakis’ 38-yard-boot was only one of many memorable incidents in the hectic contest. Only the timeliness of Tad Sam’s kick over-shadowed the sensational passing performance of Stanford’s Garrett.
Superlatives can’t describe the aerial attack supplied by the San Marino sharpshooter. Shattering a host of records, the Stanford quarterback proved that he is truly one of the game’s outstanding passers. Teaming up with his old San Marino prep mate, End Sam Morley, Garrett provid-(Continued on Page 3)

Thousands of delighted onlookers, many of them Trojan students and alums, lined the Miracle Mile section of Wilshire Boulevard Friday night and watched SC’s “Biggest” Homecoming parade pass in review.

award.
Kappa Sigma fraternity walked off with the most humorous prize with their “St. George” float showing Tirebiter with a net over a green dragon.

Nine other marching bands filled the night air with spirited music.
Homecoming Queen Dawna Boiler and her court drew cheers and admiring applause as the beautiful queen float rolled along the parade route. They responded by waving and blowing kisses to the crowd.
The first half hour of the lengthy pacade was televised over KTTV with veteran parade announcer Bill Welch describing the action.
Stanford students in town for the football game marveled at the dazzling floats and smart bands of the “professional locking parade.”
California Governor Goodwin J. Knight smiled and waved congenially to the applauding onlookers from his Grand Marshal’s car.
Asa V. Call, preident of the SC Board of Trustees and Pacific ' Mutual Life Insurance Company, ! presided at the luncheon where plans were made to raise money for research on the smog problem.
Citizens Could Help
“Citizens working together could solve the smog problem just as they built a harbor for the city and brought water to Los Angeles from hundreds of miles away,” Call said. “Government support at all levels is needed from the city, county, and state,” he continued.
He also said that Governor Knight has indicated he will ask the next legislature for an appropriation for smog research.
Gordon Larson, director of the County Air Pollution Control.District, whose work was praised highly by the group, said, “Smog offered a difficult technological problem but it can be solved.” County Funds
Supervisor John Anson Ford promised county funds for re- ; search if needed. County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn reported that smog was hurting public health, business, and property value. Hahn also pointed out that residents of this area are demanding that something be done.
Publisher Richard Carrington of the Examiner announced that new sources of smog are occurring faster than some causes ca* be removed.
