Carnegie Tech v. U. S. C.

Except that the game had been scheduled and was obviously a drawing card, there was no reason why Southern California should be playing Carnegie Tech. In spite of the West Coast records, which are too complicated to indicate much, Southern California is rightly considered one of the best, if not the best, team in its district. Carnegie Tech was by no means one of the best teams in the East. In spite of Coach Howard Jones' routine diatribes against self-confidence, his Trojans felt that the game was a warm up for New Year's Day and a Pittsburgh team that had beaten Carnegie Tech 34 to 13.

For two periods, eleven Carnegie Technicians played as though every one of them rated the All American. They scored 13 first downs and 13 points. The Trojans, fidgeting in the line and scrambling over each other after the ball was snapped, were lucky to get two passes over to tie the score at the end of the half. In the third quarter Carnegie Tech started again but Eyth fumbled and Trojan Tappaan recovered.

Nine plays later Southern California had a touchdown. "Racehorse Russell" Saunders, quarterback, had made it. On bucks, on spinning end runs, he made 60 of the 65 yards of that march. A few minutes later he scored again. This time it took seven plays and he alone made all but two of the 45 yards required. Carnegie Tech was fidgeting now, stretching for Trojan passes that went where they were aimed. When "Racehorse Russell" rested, Duffield carried on. Southern California 45, Carnegie Tech 13.
