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...

...down shifty Moon Mullins and Sprinter Jack Elder. In the second quarter Elder, on his four-yard line, got to an Army pass. Instead of knocking it down and covering receivers, in the fashion proper for goal-line defenders, he caught it, raced 96 yards for the only touchdown of the game. Notre Dame 7, Army 0. Brainy, hard running, hard kicking Carideo's punts were sometimes blocked but his generalship vindicated the judgment of critics who had already made him their choice for All-American quarterback.

...season. They used a pretty new lateral pass spun out of a cross-buck in which five men handled the ball. Substitute Moffatt and Halfback Frentrup did most of Stanford's scoring. Unexpectedly defensive, California's Lorn kept punting out of danger. He passed to Thornton for one touchdown but needed more than that. Stanford 21, California...
