NO ALIBI IS WORO OF IRISH GRID MENTOR Anderson Says “Hat Is Off To Trojans And Their Coach” — Chicago, Nov. 23. — (U.R) —Notre Dame, beaten for the second time m 27 years on its home field at south Bend and for the first time in 27 games in the past three years, had no alibi today for its 1614 defeat by Southern California's team of destiny. "We had to lose some time," said Coach Heartly Anderson of Notre Dame, “and I'm glad that it was Southern California which broke our winning streak. The Notre Dame boys played their hearts out ilfid lost to a great team that deserved to win. My hat is off to Southern California and Howard Jones." ■ That statement reflects the “Spirit of Notre Dame,”—the feeling of its players, students, coaehcS and faculty. They have no excases. no regrets and above all no desire to detract one whit from Southern California's magnificent comeback which scored two touchdowns and a field goal in the last period and wiped out Notre Dame's 14-0 lead. But if Notre Dame itself accepted its stunning defeat gracefully, that army of official supporters which claim the South Bend school as their "alma mater" have taken the stand that Southern California rode to victory on penalties infliced b’n the Fighting Irish at critical m intents. The contention is borne out by Hie facts which reveal that Notre Dame was penalized 90 yards to none for Southern California, and that three Trojan passes were ruled complete because of interference. The decisions on pass interference helped the Trojans in their two touchdown drives. In this connection, however, these outside Notre Dame supporters are f irgetting that Southern California has had some very tough breaks and decisions in previous games with Notre Dame. It will be remembered that the Trojans lost Die 1926 game. 13-12, in the last two minutes of play’ on two lefthanded passes by Art Parisien. Then in 1927 Notre Dame won, 7-6. when Charley Riley, Notre Dame quarterback, intercepted a pass, took a step and dropped the ball which was recovered by Southern California over the goal line. Referee John Schommer ruled that Riley did not have possession of the ball and no score resulted, but there are many coaches and football critics who maintained until this day the Trojans should have had a touchdown or a safety. There is little doubt that Southern California needed the penalties to win, but as the game was played the Trojans had the better team

land deserved the victory. Erny I Pinckert, Southern California's | great blocking halfback, told a bos Angeles sports writer that the Trojans probably would not have won but for penalties but that the officials were justified in calling I them. II One factor which played a large I part in plunging Notre Dame to defeat was the ease with which the 5 j Irish scored their second touchj down. After leading 7-0 at halftime they came back to score again ! in two minutes of play in the third ) period. After Notre Dame got the ’ f ball, it took only four plays for the ' Irish to cover 63 yeards to the I Trojan's goal line. ' | It was too easy and the Irish ‘ had a mental and physical let down ■ j which permitted Southern Cali- ; fornia to prepare for its irresistible 1 drive for victory in the final period. 1) Another factor that had its place) •'in rousing the Southern California 1 I I team to a fighting frenzy that cul-' ' initiated in one of the most thrill‘ling rallies in modern football his-1 tory was an injury to fullback Jim Musick. The mishap doubtless was J 1 accidental but when Musick was I 1 kicked in the face and had to leave 1 | the game with a broken nose the I ' i Trojans resolved to do something) I about it. After Gus Shaver, who left the | ' game in the second period almost ) 1 i blinded in one eye from the poundI ing he had received only to comel ; back in the final half and throw I himself recklessly into conflict, had (Scored two touchdowns in the final) period.

Trojan s great run ) ning guard, kicked a field goal from the 23-yard line which ended Notre) Dame's gridiron monarchy. The heroes of the game were ! 1 many, but just to name a few let's i take Marchy Schwartz, who was as j J great in defeat as in victory, and . Joe Kurth, the greatest lineman on; the field, for Notre Dame, and) Shaver, a smashing back. Ray Sparl ) ing. a superb offensive and defens-; [ ive end. Erny Pinckert. superb | blocker and tackler.

Another Saturday and basketball will have sent football to the discards for another year. Purdue showed its supremacy on I , the football field over Indiana Sat-i urday—and now has a real opportunity of trimming Northwestern I , next Saturday under the guise of ' charity. Michigan defeated Minnesota in ; their annual love-feast, 6-0. The Wolverines showed one minute of great football and during that min- ; ute a touchdown went across for the ; | only big thrill of the afternoon. Southern California saved all its tricks for the last quarter at Notre Dame and beat the greatest football machine of the country. The Irish were just as great in defeat as they have been for 25 games in victory—and sports reporters say there wasnot a word of beefing in the dressing rooms. The Curtismen are ready for their | first real net test of the season. I Next Wednesday night they go to I Auburn for a game with Zeke\ I Young's netters.

MANY TEAMS CLAIM TITLE By Dick Miller, Written for the UP. ■ Indianapolis. Nov. 23.—(U.K)—The scramble for the 1931 mythical In I ‘liana high school football champ ! ionship neared its climax today with indications that sever.d teams j still will be undefeated when the I season closes. , A survey of the situation among ' the leading revealed j that: South Bend Central’s 30 to 12 vicI tory over Elkhart gave the South I Benders the eastern division title :of the northern Indiana high school . conference and left them a clean I record. Bloomfield’s hope for a claim to i the Wabash Valley title was sunk I in its 6 to 0 defeat by Linton. Clinton apparently has a clear title to the Wabash Valley title. Two remaining games are with non-conference teams. But Clinton is not in the undefeated class, due to its defeat by Cathedral of Indianapolis on Armistice Day. | Cathedral of Indianapolis finish > ed its schedule with an utimarred slate and claims the state champ- | ionship. ft won the Indianapolis city championship. Marion, still undefeated, will have a clear title to the big fifteen conference if Clinton is defeated by Evansville Tlmuksglving Day. if Clinton wii.s, it will claim a c> championship. • Horace Mann is in a tie with Froebel of Gary for the western division title in the N. I. H. S. C. There has been a suggestion that Horace Mann ami Froebel decide with the flip of a coin which shall play South Bend for the northern conference title. Elmer Burnham, i ■coach at South Bend, would like to play the title game at Notre Dame stadium on Thanksgiving Day. Coaches of the two winning Gary schools, however, would prefer to play off the tie. Earlier in the season, the two schools played a 7 to 7 tie and each defeated 1 Emerson of Gary by the same 1 score. The coaches scouted South Bend I in its game against Elkhart SaturI day and expressed a willingness to ■ play Froebel against Horace Mann > on Thanksgiving Day and the win- - ner play South Bend next Saturt day. o Get the Habit—-Trade at He. ma
