OF S0, CAL New Tandem Shift with Power Galore Used in Big Game LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 28.— Two brilliant passes, two flashes of scarlet and St. Mary's galloped to victory over the mighty men of Troy before 75,000 people here Sat- urday afternoon. Score: St. Mary’s 13, University of Southern Califor- nia 7. With surprising unheralded de- ception the Gaels rose against seemingly great odds with a new tandem shift and power galore, and all in the third period, after the Trojans thrice knocked at victory's door.

He had driven off the fourth tee and he was rather pleased with that drive. It seemed to be headed in the di- rection of the green, 145 yards away, but he could not find the ball. It was a good ball, had given | its owner countless rounds of serv- ive and he had become attached to |it. So he searched dilgently for |the pesky pellet for nearly thirty | minutes, according to his own ad- |in the sand burrows. Then, with palpitating heart and idim hope rising in his breast, he | made for the only spot in tie vi- cinity he had not yet explored, the little old tin cup in the center of GENUINE BULLDURHAM | mission, under logs and timbers and | BRINGING UP FATHER HOW DARE YO SMOKE IN MY HOLISE € | HIRED YOL TO TEACH MY HUSBAND CLULTURE "/ YOU ARE AN IMPOSTOR / Il | . Ueat ritain richls reserve the green. And his ball was there, the same one he had driven off | the tee half an hour, more or less, before. In one fell swoop Lockie had achieved the golfer’s fondest ambition, the making of a hole-in- one. It is not correct to say that it was the culmination of a life time's ambition, for this particular golfer did not start his links career un- til two years ago, but Lockie is very well pleased, thank you, over the results of his search for the missing ball. He says the youngsters have nothing on him now. There were no wiunesses to the {feat but Lockie knows he made a hole in one all by himself, and |none can question the of his recital of all the details.

Of course this matter of a foot- | | ball made of eight sections instead | of four hasn't as yet become an | official fact, so far as the game is concerned. It will not until the season is started and the first new| pigskin is booted into play. ) | An official of the rules commit- | tee, who for that very reason does not want to be quoted arliclally.K | has this to say about the matter: | “Naturally the new football has, come to the attention of the com- | mittee but there has been no of- | ficial discussion. There will not be,| either, until teams have had a chance to play with the ball and we have had an opportunity to weigh the results of actual play. “But of course there have been PULLMAN, Wash., Sept. 23‘_“c§1n(ormnl discussions and some of Washington State Cougars, powered the gallant College of Ida- ho team Saturday by a score of 41 to 0. ally every man in his squad of 50. first team into the fray and with his powerhouse play quickly and | expertly scored three couchdowns.

The fine quality and popularity of “BULL” DURHAM were always subjects of great pride to him. Therefore, it is particularly gratifying to us to offer this important saving and service to the American public at this time.

The smaller | strips can be cut from inferior leather.” ! Handles Really Needed Only in the south where the newr ball first was introduced, has the| cight-section pigskin been given | serious consideration although An-! dy Kerr, at Colgate, will give it a| test to see if it really makes for- ward passing easier. There has been no change in %IATED &Sfi size or shape. And the boys will tell you that seams or no seams, a football will never be really easy to propell until they put handles cn it. Wildcat-“Irish” Encore. You can hear plenty of chatter already about the early season er.- | gagement between Notre Dame and Northwestern at Soldier field in Chicago. These two were heated rivals for national honors last fall when they collided at Evanston, with the Fighting Irish on tour. Both have powerful teams again and Dick Hanley's Wildcats are hopeful of gaining revenge at tho expense of the Rockne-less Ram- blers. “We expect Notre Dame to be as strong this year as last,” Spud Lewis, Northwestern backfieid coach, told me between rounds &f of golfing battle at Beverly. “The Rockne spirit is carrying on at South Bend to a remark- able extent. Northwestern will also be strong. Our great passer, Pug Rentner, is back and that will add considerably to our attacking strength.* GRID SCORES ON SATURDAY The following are results of foot- ball games played in various parts of the country last Saturday aft- ernoon: Olympic Club 0; Stanford 0.
