Air Attack Routs Pitt iu Stature Southern California Eleven Crushes Panthers Under Huge Score. BY GEORGE H. BEALE L’nitfd Press Staff Correspondent PASADENA. Cal.. Jan. 2. The University of Pittsburgh football team spent a season building a brilliant record and preparing to claim a national championship, but it failed to develop in adequate defense against forward passes. And Wednesday when it had a chance to bid for the title, it was smothered. 47 to 14. under the accurate overhead game of the University of Southern California. The Pitt back field starred offensively, but it was pitifully weak in its attempt to break up the air attack and the Panthers were forced to take the most decisive trimming ever handed out to a team in the annual Tournament of Roses New Year's day game. Southern California threw passes all over Rose bowl, it seemed, and usually a sure-fingered Trojan was under the ball when it came down. | Four times the Trojans went into j the air to score touchdowns. On two other occasions forward passes put the ball in scoring position. Unansa, Parkinson, Walinchus, Baker and all the other Pitt backs seemed completely bewildered by the passing attack. The passes were thrown mostly by Russell Saunders, who played a brilliant game. Edelson, Pinckert and Wilcox did most of the receiving. Pitt turned in its two touchdowns by passes.
