  Here and There in Sport World ~ ‘hitcd Press Leased Wire Los ANGELES, Dec. 26.-Footbah experts today sharpened their pencils to begin their task of doping out the exact spot the University of Southern California football team should occupy in the 1924 review Of / thc sport. With 20 to 7 victory over the University of Missouri, champions OF the Missouri Valley conference, safely tucked away after yesterday s triumph at the Coliseum, the Trojans seemed certain of place among the country’s best teams. Their earlier victory over Syracuse, one Of the east s most powerful squads, adds further weight to the prestige of Coach Henderson s war riors Rising TO a power hitherto I’M shown this year, the Trojans launch ed an attack against the Tigers in the third quarter which rolled relentlesslv over the desperate stand of the visiting outfit. Starting with an assault ON the line, which netted a touchdown after Lefebvre, playing with an injured leg, had flashed some of the most brilliant running seen i’ll the Coliseum this year. The Trojans swung into an air offensive that saw two other scores before the period ended. Newman, playing his last game in u I. 5. G. uniform, hurled two passes half the length of the field. The first nestled in the arms Of Badgro, substitute end, who scurried the renaming Is yards to the last white mark, The second hcave was caught by phythian after n circus leap behind the goal line. Bafficd by Missouri 5 overhead attack in the first quarter, Hendcrsor m5rslallcd his forces for the second half in such a manner that Whiteman s passes were consist cnt- ~ knocked down or intercepted. The minute OF play, when Walsh picked up Riddle $ tumble and dashed eight yards to Il touchdown. Injury of Van Dync, Missouri tackle, weakened the team consider ably. Tiger thrusts were smashing the center of the Trojan line repeat edly throughout the first quarter Cravath, rushed in at center, stem med the advance and then, with Whitcman on the hurting end, Missouri, proceeded to uneork a dazzling series of passes for consistent gains. TEcy lacked the final drive to score, however, and one attempt at a placement kick went wild, Between halves I. S. C. worked ont an effective defense against Missouri S overhead work, and fire. queutly Whitcman was forced to tack the ball Under his arm and run when, after dropping back for “A pass, he found every eligible recciver covered.
