All Records Broken Besides its rivalry for title hon- ors, the 1927 season left a trail of upsets, marked by the overthrow of champions ia nearly every confer- ence and section, as well as new high marks in attendance and receipts. Figures gathered from all parts} of the country indicat: the aggre- gate attendance was between 25, 000,000 and 30,000,000, with the gate receipts somewhere in the neighborhood of $50,00),(00. Con- sidering the comparative shortness of the gridiron season, this is a mark that no other sport, amateur or professional, can match. The high single game mark was! reached at Chicago, where approxi- mately 113,000 paid to see Notre Dame nose out Southern California on the same field that housed the if record-breaking crowd, 110,000 at the Army-Navy game of last year. The Stanford-California classic on the Pacif'c coast drew 90,000 spectators while Michigan's new stadium at Ann Arbor twice housed jams of around 86,000 for the Navy and Ohio State games. In the ‘east approximately 76,000 fans were at five of the outstanding conflicts, and Princetoa-Yale in _ “Army-Y - the ‘Bowl at New Haven, the Army- * Notre Dame battle at the Yankee Franklin Penn-Cornell contest at stadium, n field and Army - Navy ¥ tussle at the Pelo Grounds.

DUNKLEY sociated Press Sports Writer) Chicago, Nov, 28.—?)—The_Troj- ans from the University of South- ern California, coming out of the | west undefeated, lost a heartbreak- | ing one-point football game to Notre Dame's on Soldiers’ Field Sat- urday, 7 to 6, before 113,000 spec- tators, the greatest throng that ever j witnessed a gridiron struggle in | America. The victory was a repetition of the Notre Dame triumph of a year ago when Rockne’s ramblers snatch- | ed a 13-12 victory over the Trojans jat Los Angeles, Trojans Score Early he Trojans, in a smashing irre- sistible attack, scored carly in the ! first period, with Captain Morley | Drury, their brilliant quarterback, and candidate for All American honors, tossing a forward pass to | Russell Saunders that resulted in the touchdown. When Drury sent | his toe crushing against the ball in an attempt to add the extra point, | Chilly Walsh, the Notre Dame right | end, hurled himself against the ball, | and blocked it, giving Notre Dame | the break it needed. | A few minutes later, in the same | period, Notre Dame found its chance to score, opened up with its aerial jots, and tossed_a pass across the | goal line with Charley Riley, the | little quarterback, heaving the ball | to Ray Dahman. Then with the Notre Dame line holding like a stone wall, Dahman stepped back and successfully booted a drop kick for the added point, giving Notre Dame its edge, and finally, victory. Thereafter, for the remaining three periods, the fighting Notre | Dame team, with frequenteshifts in the lineup, set up a defense that | held the coast invaders in check, | stop] the running attack of and twice nipped surges that, threatened their goal line. y-Flanagan Battle’ . the game resulted in ling offensive battle between | Drury and,Christy Flanagan, Notre | Dam great halfback. | Flanagan, playing his last game | for Notre "ame, overshadowed all his previous sensationay perform- j ances, splitting the line with his | powerful thrusts and shooting around the endsfor long gains. In | i jatl the first stages of the battle, Fi: gan faking a backward pass, smas! ed through the Trojans’ forward wall repeatedly, Drury, a combination of Red Grange, Herb Joesting and Bennie Friedman, a little bit of each, ca ried the brunt of the Southern C: fornians’ attack, playing himsel: most to the point of exhaustion.

Edelson was forced out ef the game because of | injuries and Williams was left at home in California, nursing injuries. ’ Pass Brings Touchdown Southern California’s first touch- down was the culmination of a thrilling yard dash by Drury around right end. He planted the’ ball on Notre Dame’s 6 yard line before he was upset. Thén Edelsdén hit center for 3 yards and Notre Dame -took time out to think over this sudden thrust. Drury bounded into the left tackle for a yard, and then smashed into center, losing a few inches. With the Notre Dame line stiffened, Drury ran back and tossed a long pass to Saunders, who grabbed the ball as he raced across the line. Drury’s. attempt to add the extra point, hcwever, was a fajlure with the Notre Dame playeys swiftly charging into the kick, After the coast invaders scored, | Coach Rockne immediately | patched his first string backfield | into the game, with Flanagan, Dah- Bist and Riley taking up the bur- len. California was placed on the de- fensive immediately, and Flai n beapt hammering at the Trojan ine, lins, who started the game at full- j back for Notre Dame, they cracked off two first downs. starting from the California 48 yard line. Flana- gan, in two thrusts, h 1d the ball to California’s 38 yard line. Then he ploughed through center for 7 yards, with Collins smashing through the same spot for another first down, this time on ifor- nia’s 28 yard line. 4 After failing with one pass, Riley tossed the next 28 yards to Dahman, who clutched the oval in his arms ck of California's goal for the touchdown. ahman kicked the goal, under. the protection of the Notre Dame stonewall. Zz Twice later the Trojans, in des- tation, came perilously near scor- ing with forward passes, but both times the shots over the 1 line were incompleted and the ball lost to them. a ‘By MorrissAckerman Where is the best big game country “lin North America?

The former University of Michigan star already holds the world’s mark of 25 feet 10 7-8 inches, Faulty timing at the same mect also was the cause for rejection of a world’s record equaling perform- ance by Hubbatd of 9 3-5 seconds for the 100-yard dash. Scholz Mark Refused The A. A. U. turned thumbs down on an attempt to revive considera- tion of the 100-yard performance of Jackson Scholz of the New York A. A, who was credited with “coves ering the 100” in 9 5-10 seconds at) Greensboro, N. C., in 1925, The} record was rejected by convention and again y cause of insufficient factory timing evidence. Charley Paddock helds.an Amer- ican record of 9 5-10 seconds for the century, but the official world’s record is still 9 3-5 seconds because tenth-second timing is not interna- tionally: recognized. This disap-| proval of the tenth-second time-| jieces was responsible for the tab-! ling of applications for two relay records, 800 meters and 880 yards! made by Southern Califdrnia’s team last May. Carr Holds Vault Records Sabin Carr of Yale and Dubuque, Towa, is now the official possessor of all world’s pole vault record as a result of the A. A. U.’s approval of} his indoor mark of 13 feet 9 1-4 inches made last February in New York and his outdoor figure of ex- actly 14 feet made in the intercol- ore championships in Philadel- ia. ’ These outstanding records also were approved among the thirty- one track and field mais recogniz- ed altogether.
