Michigan Hits Stubborn SC, 16-6
By CARL SAWYER Daily Trojan Spoils Lditor
With two down and one to go in the toughest threesome of games SC's Trojans have ever had to play to open
a season, Coach Don Clark was ready to send his squad through more intense drills today in preparation for Pittsburgh after the Trojans absorbed a 16-6 defeat from powerful Michigan Saturday.
And if Troy’s outstanding performance against a potent Wolverine eleven was no fluke, the Trojans will stand a i:ood chance to bounce buck after two straight losses and Din the Pitt Panthers to the wall for their first win of the season.
Only an inspired group of Trojans could have held the deep and experienced Michigan team to two douchdowns. Crippled by injuries and flu attacks to key personnel, the depleted Trojans fought like the proverbial tiger as they battled Michigan on even terms through the first half of the contest.
Superior depth and experience on the Michigan side of the field bore fruit in the second half when Brad Myers capped a 65-yard Michigan march in the third stanza to Ice the game.
Getting out of his hospital bed a day before the game
to play, halfback Rex Johnston proved to be the top ground gainer of the game with 67 yards in nine carries. Johnston had missed the Oregon State game a week earlier because of the flu and had participated in no contact work on Bovard Field for more than a week.
The spirited Trojans held Michigan through the first quarter but on the fourth play of the second period, Jim Pace, only one of Michigan’s fine fleet of backs, tallied from the 6-inch line and Jim Van Pelt converted. A 15-yard penalty on the Trojans helped the Wolverines drive the 50 yards for the TD.
The big Michigan squad added two points on a safety four plays later to make the score 9-0. After the Michigan kickoff, two 15-yard penalties against the Trojans moved them back to their own 1-yard line. Conroy slipped on the next play and was tackled in the end zone for two Wolverine points.
The hard running Josnston then led the Trojans to their only TD on a beautiful 37-yard run to the Michigan four where he was caught by a defending Wolverine. He lateralled to Billy Howard who was right behind him on the run and Howard stepped into the end zone for the first Trojan TD of the game and the 1957 season. Mike Page missed the conversion to leave the score at a close 9-6 at halftime.
A 65-yard Wolverine march in the third period ended the scoring.
Coach Clark's crew had plenty of fight left after Michigans’ last TD and the appearance of quarterback Willie Wood in the game gave them a new spark. Little Willie completed three of seven passes in the fading minutes of the. game and had the Trojans deep in Michigan territory before penalties and poor pass protection pushed them back out again.
One of Wood’s passes looked like a sure six points for SC as Jack "Rabbit'’ Willis got behind the Wolverine defenders in the end zone and Wood uncorked a 50-vard heave after evading a flock of charging Wolverines. In the clear, Willis dropped the TD pass but later made an extremely difficult catch although hit hard by two defenders immediately. Willis was shaken up on the play and was removed from the game but suffered no serious damage.
Michigan won the battle on the scoreboard and in statistics but the Trojans made them know they had been in a ball game. The hard charging Troian line cut down Wolverine runners for numerous losses in the game. Michigan runners lost 28 yards in the first half alone.
The inexperienced Trojans made occasional mistakes as expected but their sheer determination and drive kept them in the game to the final quarter.
The Wolverines displayed a tremendous amount of strength in their running game, an annual trade mark of Coach Bennie Oosterbaan's teams. "They were as good as any Big Ten team I've seen SC play except the 1943 Rose Bowl team,” said Coach Clark after the game.
Jim Pace, Michigan’s speedy halfback who holds the. Big Ten record for 60 yards in track, was the leading ground gainer for the visitors, picking up 65 yards in 17 carries. He displayed a knack for change of pace as he appeared to shift gears on several of his runs.
Most serious injury of the game was suffered by guard Pat Reagan who twisted his ankle. He was carried off the field ai\d may miss practice this week for the Pittsburgh game Friday night at the Coliseum.
Great improvement was shown by the Trojans’ over their first game a week earlier, according to the Trojan coaching staff. “I thought it was a terrific game,” said Clark. "The boys were showing improvement with every play. We will improve even more,” said Clark. “It's too bod they have to gain that improvement and experience against possibly the two best teams in the country,” Clark concluded.
Time will tell how tough SC's first two opponents will prove to be. Winners over Troy a week ago, Oregon State’s Beavers continued to display plenty of power Saturday

Hot Debris Utilized by Veiero IV Scientists
SC is pioneering the use of I radio-active tracers to help engineers design sewage disposal j projects for the purpose of preventing beach pollution, according to Dr. Rol>ert K. Stevenson of the Hancock Foundation.
A non-publicized, two-day ex-I periment took place in Santa I Monica a year ago. Dr. Stevenson said, and news of the experiment has been released due to I reports in British atomic and | engineering publications.
Dr. Stevenson said that Scan-i dium 16. an isotope with a half-I life of only 75 days, w as used to track the vertical and hori-j zontal spread of sewage affluent ! and its dilution in the bay.
Isotope Technique “The isotope tracer technique was used because the ( alifornist Water Pollution Control Board ! required that dilutions- of one pn rl sew nee to 10.000 parts of I sea water l>e measured. Conventional dye tests and salinity
measurements were reliable only for one part sewage to 500 parts of ocean water.” he said.
"The tracer was mixed with sewage at the Hyperion treatment plant and was recorded 48 minutes later where the mixture ln>iled up into the bay through the submarine outfall more than a mile fir>m shore.
Veiero IV The Veiero IV. the oceanographic research ship of the Hancock Foundation, was equipped with a watertight scintillation probe to measure radioactivity of the water. The Frowler. another monitoring ship, stood by." Stevenson continued.
Results of the test, he said, are Ixyng included in SCs de- j tailed oceanographic study of the bay to determine the length and direction of the submarine . pijie earning sewage effluent out from shore to insure that j no bacteria vviil l>e washed back to the beach.

ALBERT S. RAUBENHEIMER
. . . begins lectures
The first recommendation not to have floats came from the evaluation committee which met after last year's Homecoming. Headed by Chaplain Clinton A. Neyman. the committee decided that floats were too costly for the fraternities and took too much cla<s time. The Fraternity Alumni Council has decided net to donate any money to the making of floats.
The university has raised the requirements to stay in school and. according to Rafner. 1800 are expected to be disqualified this year, most of these fraternity men.
Last year, the caretaker at Hancock Park, where the fraternities constructed their floats, had trouble with students until 2 in the morning. The L.A. County Museum, which granted SC permission to use the park, said that students were disorderly. drank liquor, fooled around with dangerous power equipment and failed to clean the grounds the next morning. The Museum’s report also claimed that the park was defaced.
“Even if we wanted to have another parade this vear down the Miracle Mile, we wouldn't be welcome.” said Rafner.
Rafner had planned to stage a Flapper Day parade down 2Sth Street the night before the Homecoming game against Stanford. but the policy committee decided that insufficient light, snarled traffic, time and expense would bring too many headaches to give a show for the few alum' who would so« the event.
“Actually, the trend in the U.S. is against parades for Homecomings and toward things like house decoration«.” Rafner said. “Most of the schools in the Fa-f have already dropped parades."
However, everv thing isn't negative about this year's Home-coming. A 6 - foot .^veepstakes Trophy will tie awarded to the organization which earns the most points thtough Trolios. hoii'e decorations, the Helen of Troy contest and other Homecoming events.
