  TROJANS GIVEN JOLT BY BEARS BUT WIN $ TO [ California Puts Up Great Battle Against U. 5. C. BERKELEY, Cal, Oct. 26.-One flashing thrust which netted 46 yards in five plays gave the Uni versity of Southern California vic- tory over the University of Califor- mia Saturday by score of 6 to O. It was one of the most thrilling football battles witnessed here in years. The touchdown came with only two minutes left to play in the sec- ond period. California’s underrated eleve n went into the contest hardly ex- pected to keep in sight of their rivals from the South, who had been bowling over other Confer ence elevens by top-heayy scores the past three weeks. But the Bears put up an unexpectedly stiff re- sistance which kept their oppon- ents on their toes at all stages Of the game.
