    50. CALIFORNIA JUST SWAMpED BY MARCH FIELD LOS ANGELES, Nov. 15.-March Field Fourth Air Force swamped Southern California 35 to 0 last Saturday afternoon by spectacular aerial attack generated by Jack Jacobs, former Oklahoma player. The bottom fell out of the Trojams defense in the second quarter when the Filters pushed over four touchdowns in short order. The first touchdown was a one yard plunge and the next three were perfectly timed spot passes. The Filters were never seriously threatened.
