STANFORD DEFEATED
BY U. S. C. TROJANS
By AI Wesson
It took Coach Hendersons’ tribe of footballers just one short afternoon to prove its superiority over “Fighting Bob” Evans’ team and to show the world that U. S. C. had one of the best gridiron machines in the west, the Stanford men going down for the count of 13 to 0 in the big Thanksgiving Day battle staged last Thursday on Bovard Field.
Stanford University’s eleven was outplayed and outfought from the start by the Trojans. The northern ers showed signs of life occasionally, but most of the time were fighting to protect their goal line, which Charley Dean and Johnny Leadingham succeeded in romping across for U. S. C.’s pair of touchdowns.
Templeton Kicks
One “Dink” Templeton was Stanford’s great hope in the backfield. Unable to gain on the offensive, the Palo Altoans were forced to page Mr. Templeton and his educated toe whenever they were able to get the ball. Tern' pleion’s punts, which had been going consistently for 60 and 70 yards before the U. S. C. game, did not go so far against the Trojans, as Henderson’s line piled on Uhe kicker so quickly that he was unable to get his boots off for the usual distance However, Stanford owes a lot to its fullback for getting the ball out of danger on many occasions.
Ground Gainers “Eel” Leadingham and Charley Dean were U. S. C.’s great ground gainers, Dean with his hard line smashing and Leadingham with bis shifty runs around end and through tackle.
Holmes Packer played a great game at left half both on offensive and defensive. When Stanford attempted to open up in the last part of the game, Packer was always present to smear or intercept the Red and White passes. Walt McMillan played his usual heady, consistent game at quarter. In the last quarter Jimmy Woodward substituted for “Mac” and put up a fast, brainy brand of football.
Line Is There
Although the backfield deserves great credit, the real story of the Trojan victory is the story of the Trojan line. Big John Fox, Orrie Hester and Kenny Townsend at guard, reliable Eddie Simpson at center, Paul Beale and “Swede” Evans at tackle, and Bill Isenhauer, Jimmy Smith and Andy Toolen at end worked together to make the Trojan line one of the strongest in collegiate circles. With not a weak spot in it, the S. C. line consistently broke up all Stanfords attempts at ground gaining and made big holes in the line of the beefy opponents for the Trojan backs to charge through.
Score In Second U. S. C.’s first score came in the second quarter, when Johnny Leadingham, starting on an end run, suddenly darted through tackle for three
yards and a touchdown. In the last quarter Charley Dean smashed through center for the second S. C. touchdown. “Swede” Evans converted the second goal.
Time was called for several minutes in tbe fourth quarter when Referee Jerry Abbott learned that Stanford had twelve men on the field. After the matter was straightened out, whenever a new man came, Captain Caughey had his corporals report and Abbot lined the Stanford men up for inspection.
May Play at Pasadena
U S. C.’s victory over Stanford puts the Trojan team in the running to be the western football representative to play the eastern champion on New Year’s Day in Pasadena. The Cardinal and Gold squad went through an unusually strenuous season with four victories and a defeat that came by a margin of one point.
U . S. C. now stands an excellent chance to win the western championship. The team that was defeated by a 14 to 13 score by California several weeks ago is far stronger than it was then, and undoubtedly if it could get a chance against the Northwestern champ, either Washington or Oregon, would win the championship of the west.
TROJAN FRESHMEN SLIP OVER VICTORY ON OXY LADS, 14-7
Young Horton, Ambitious Occidental Lad, Scores on 60-Yard End Run
U.S.C. Parade Startles Good\ Foiks
Over 700 jubilant Trojans piled into 75 gaily decorated machines, starting from the building at 9:30 yesterday morning, in parade formation, to “show the old town a good time.’” And they did it.
Leading the procession was A. S. B. President Claude Reeves, astride the radiator of Eddie Simpson’s roadster. Followed a cosmopolitan aggregation of vehicles, from super-sixes to Fords, all displaying proudly-flying streamers and pompoms of red and gold.
Visit High Schools Accorded a rather chilling reception at Manual Arts, the procession moved on to L. A. High, where the student body was dismissed to come out and applaud the Trojans’ demonstration. Poly High was the next stop on the line of march.
Oxy Favored Wending its way through traffic on Broadway, the line headed north toward Occidental College. The Eagle Rock school seemed a little suspicious of our attentions at first. But they stood around peacefully enough while the Trojan cohorts gave them a sample of U. S. C. spirit. A near-battle ensued when a belligerent Oxy-ite snatched a U. S, C. pennant in token
WAYAHN, LEAHY COUNT
Eagle Rock Crew Shows Much Fight — Young Blizzard Sweeps Playing Field
Cliff Herd’s frolicsome freshman football phenoms added another to their already lengthy string of victories when they smeared the Occidental pea-green performers on Patterson Field last Wednesday. The score board showed a count of 14 to 7 in favor of the embryo Trojans at the close of the matinee.
The tigerless Tigerlets gave the young Trojans a scare in the early stages of the battle. Horton, an ambitious Occidental youngster, tore around left end for a 60-yard dash and a touchdowrn. Goal was kicked and the score was 7 to 0 in favor of the Eagle Rock party.
Leahy Scores
Eddie Leahy made some healthy gains for the Trojan crew. One of his excursion yielded a touchdown, which was converted by Wayahn. The latter scored the other touchdown on a converted the goal, bringing the S. C. long end run in the final quarter and frosh its fourteenth and final point.
The Occidental eleven showed all kinds of scrap and surprised the few fans wiio braved the young blizzard which swept across Patterson Field by holding Herd’s men to two touchdowns.
The slippery field kept the backfield performers of both elevens from showing their usual speed. The Trojan freshmen appeared to have the advantage on straight football, but numerous misplays allowed their opponents to keep the score close.
