Little Irvine ("Cotton'') Warburton, Southern California's quarterback, was accused of choosing his plays poorly by Coach Alonzo Stiner, whose Oregon State team held U. S. C. to a scoreless tie. Last week, against the University of Oregon, which beat Oregon State, Warburton caught three forward passes, turned one of them into one of the four touchdowns that won for Southern California...
...booted the goal, we couldn't advance farther up the field than our own 20-yard line and Yale was constantly threatening to score. With one minute left to play and the Elis seemingly certain to score, Sprague of Harvard got off a punt that went over the Yale quarterback's head and carried 80 yards down the field. With so little time left, Yale couldn't possibly score, and the game was ours...

In the next period Stanford's speedy Fullback Bobby Grayson slashed and passed through the Trojan line, punched over a touchdown.

Columbia had been beaten only by Princeton when it faced Navy last week. It was to be the last important game of his college career for Cliff Montgomery, Columbia's captain, quarterback and current hero.

At the present time Casey is attempting to change the fundamental makeup of his backfield: having rejected Wells as a quarterback the coach tried to get along without a pass expert; now he is experimenting with Wells as a halfback, because the system of using two fast running halfbacks at the same time has proved a failure. A passer is needed...
