Ak More T Than hat, They Are Plentiful; They . . Come Three Deep.
By TOM OCHILTREE Howard Jones’ mastodontic Trojans—known more familiarly as “the University of Southern California football - team—will. meet. Notre Dame's Irish at South Bend Saturday in a game that contains some of the elements of the vendetta.” “For it was this same U. S. C. de-
railing crew that stopped Notre: Dame, 13 to 0, last season, to put al: final blemish on what had been a:
perfect season for the Irish.
Many pre-game estimates have|: made the Trojans the favorites this
time, but a: Notre Dame squad play-
.. ing 60° minutes of its all-out best is
next to impossible to beat. Sorry, It’s Sold Out Interest in this game is truly national. All seats were gone 10 days
ago, assuring a capacity crowd of 58,000. Special trains are bringing
Big
rooters from as far away as Los ==
Angeles, Denver and Erie, Pa. Chartered planes, flying in from the compass points, - will bring more. Press reservations*have been made for journals all the way from Boston to Spokane. The game is to start at 1:30 p. m. In the matter of reserves it appears Southern California has a slight edge. You hear and read a lot of loose stuff about teams that are three deep in every position, but Southern California is fixed just that way. There appears to be no Sperone in ability between the starters and the “second team.” As a matter of fact, theslevens usually are substituted as a unit. The third team. looks just as good, but usually scattered substitutions are made from this group.
Tough, Eh, Elmer?
In commenting on the Trojan manpower, Elmer Layden, Notre Dame coach, says: ~~ “Some idea of Southern \California’s class is shown in the’ fact that Doyle Nave is the third-string quarterback. He's the man whose four, passes in last New Year’s Rose Bowl game beat Duke, 7 to -3. “If-was the only touchdown scored sagainst Duke all-last season. Then there is ‘Antelope’ Al Krueger, the left end, whose pass receiving helped beat Duke and us, and mind you, he is on the second team under Bill Fisk. Capt. Joe Shell ‘also is with the second team.” Obviously, there are no morning glories in the U. 8. C. line. As a matter of fact, the Irish, rugged ~ enough to scare ‘most tednis, will be outweighed fine pounds to a man on the forward wall.
You Tell ’Em!
Probable starters in the U. S. C. . line are Bob Winslow, 193 pounds, * and Fisk, 188, ends; Phil Gaspar, 18, and Howard Stoecker, 212, tackles; Harry Smith, 216, and Ben: Sohn, 2286, guards, and Ed Dempsey, 193, center. 5 You can readily see, if you have any flair for fiures at all, that these line guys are as big as Chambers: of Commerce promises about California weather. Greene. Lansdell, 185, is expected to open’ at quarterback; Bob Hoffman, 194, at left half; Bob Robertson, 184, at right half, and Bob Peo‘ples, 185, at fullback. Coach Jones reportedly has moved “Amblin’ Amby” Schindler, second quarterback, into the fullback spot, and Schindler probably will be sub- * stituted in that position. This change was necessitated because Jack Banta and Bill Sangster have developed trick knees.
Introducing Harry Smith
The Trojan backfield is not built dlong quite the husky proportions of the pachyderms in the line. In fact, the backs will hold only a three-pound weight advantage per man over Notre Dame. for the ‘head cracking thrusts over center and guard, the Trojans also have had considerable success with ‘their wide running plays this season. Harry Smith . should be mentioned in this connection. An All-America, he is a running guard who functions liké a scythe in cutting down would-be tacklers in the path of Trojan ball carriers. - Some of the power in the U. 8. C. attack is shown in the fact that the Trojans in six games have scored 138 points and given up only 14. Only in their opening tilt against’ the University of Oregon did the Trojans lack punch. They tied that one, 7 to 7, and then won the next five. ~~ Trojans Relax
‘Notre Dame, defeated only by -Jowa, 7 to 6, has won seven of its eight games Played ‘The Irish have scored only 88 points this season as 53 for their opponents. to show how much the Trojans respect the ability of Notre , U..

It Looks Like Southern Cal. Has Clear Path to Rose Bowl, Jerry Says.
BY JERRY BRONDFIELD NEA Service Sperts Writer Saturday is the day of the big rivalries—the day when long-stand-ing tradition has little respect for favorites. And heading the program of dog-fights is the Southern California-Notre Dame melee at South Bend which finds the Men of Troy picked by just about everyone but the Irish. The South Benders: have a habit of playing their best ball against the Trojans, especially when they're picked to lose. gil Elmer Layden has something of the revenge motive up his sleeve because of the 13-0 shellacking he took a year ago, but in our opinion he’s due for another. ‘Gives Bucket to Indiana There’s just too much man-power and smoothness of execution in the Trojan ranks to offset the strongest Notre Dame emotional surge. It looks “like a clear path to the Rose Bowl for Howard Harding Jones. We like Indiana to win the Old Oaken Bucket with a victory over Purdue at Bloomington. Illinois has nothing to fear in meeting Chicago on the Midway. Minnesota should get back on ther right track by dumping Wisconsin at Minneapolis and Michigan State gets our nod over Temple in East Lansing. Battle of Cambridge The annual Harvard-Yale affair, taking place this year at Cambridge, headlines the Eastern program, with the Crimson getting a clear edge in our estimation. Dick Harlow’s sophomores and juniors have the hang of it by now and it might be a two or three fouchdown margin. Cornell, exhibiting some of its early season power in swamping Dartmouth, must be given quite an edge over Pennsylvania. Powerful Ohio State, getting better every week, winds up in the favored role over its arch-rival, Michigan, at Ann Arbor. The Buckeyes can win undisputed possession of the Big Ten crown by taking the Wolverines, and those harddriving ‘Ohio backs should do the: trick. " Should the Bucks lose, however, Iowa can tie for the title by beating Northwestern. But that lack of Hawkeye manpower may be just about exhausted by now, which prompts us to give the Wildcats a slim margin.
