UNDERI]UG UCLA : ELEVENINTIE WITH TROJANS ‘Southern California Passing Attack Evens Score in Third Quarter LOS ANGELES, Nov. 27.—UCLA’s Bruins, doped to take the short end of the score, fought the Trojans of the University of Southern Califor- nia to a seven to seven standstill be- fore a crowd of eighty-five thousand grid fans here yesterday afternoon The Bruins scored first, getting their touchdown in the second quar- ter, but the Trojans came back in the third period to tie the score with a brilliant aerial attack. SPORT SLANTS Don't be misled by that soft- spoken, mild and courteous manner off the field or by that first name; Cecil Isbell of Purdue’s Boilermak- ers can raise plenty of trouble for opponents on the gridiron without asking any quarter. Isbell, who with John Drake makes the Purdue offenc~ some- thing to be feared, has demon- strated that he is one of the na- tion’s outstanding backs by stand- out performances thus far this season. He does everything well— kicking, running, passing and block- ing—and his swivel-hipped running stride already has Purdue support- ers calling him one of the finest cpen-field sprinters ever to play for the institution. The handsome, auburn-haired youngster was a halfback last sea- son. This year, due to the tragic death of Tom McGannon and the loss of Lowell Decker through the shower-room explosion, Isbell was shifted to the fullback spot, where he combines the speed and elusive- ness of a halfback with the slash- ing drive of a halfback. The breaks went against Isbell in 1935. A sophomore then, he had gone through his entire high school career at Sam Houston high, Hous- ton, Tex., without a serious injury of any kind. But in his first col- legiate game, “Ceece,” as he is known to his mates, dislocated a shoulder. For the remainder of the season he saw ' service as a kicker and passer, but his running style was handicapped by a chain that prac- tically manacled his left arm to his side. This season his shoulder is in shape again. In the first two games " Al Rights Reserved by The Associated Press try on running plays. In the third game, against Chicago, he scored one touchdown and shot passes for three more. He tosses a soft ball instead of a heavy one that hard for the receiver to handle. Isbell is one of the most popular men on the Purdue campus, where ha is majoring in history and econ- mics. He is a member of Phi Delta Thel:\ Ira!ermny‘ as is his brother, Cody, who is a Boilermaker back- field reserve. “Princeton Will Survive” That the ivy-draped wwers of Princeton are in danger of crum- | bling because he has elected to play professional football, Les Kaufman, yesterday's Tiger] star and today's New York Yankee backfield ace, as a highly amusing thought. “I don’t feel a bit like a fellow who has committed a crime, or has been in football traditions of his alma mater,” Kaufman said when asked about it in the dressing room just prior to the daily practice. “Football is now one of the higher ranking professional sports. The type of game played, the char- acter of the men engaged in it, and the support given it by the football fans everywhere have lifted it beyond reproach—it has become a sporting enterprise basically no different from that offered on the college gridirons. Temporary Job the most pro players, the game is a means to an end; not a career. ball earnings will defray medical school and hospital expenses. Per- sonally, I think I'm fortunate in possessing some football ability to capitalize; my future would be more of a problem if I didn’t have this chance to play professional football. “What do I think of it as a game? How does it compare with college football? “Well, I have been around the pro game only a short time. But I have observed enough to know that a player can’t take it in his stride. I've heard about pro grid- ders loafing. I know now it can’t be done; there are too many good players hustling and scrapping for Jjobs. “I think a lot of it is advanced football, too; really post-graduate stuff. The other night the Brook- lyn Tigers used a spread formation that was new to me. Happily they didn't decide to run that first play lat me, or throw a pass in my backfield zone. I'm afraid I'd have been at a loss. Of course experience is essential in these things, and I'm hoping I'll get a lot of it in a hurry. “yes, I'm glad I've turned pro- fessional, with the Yankees.
