NOTRE DAME- 13* SO. CALIFORNIA- 13 " The Scoreboard read simply 13-13 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum last Saturday, as the final gun terminated the eleventh meeting of Notre Dame and Southern California on the gridiron, but to the 78,000 frenzied fans who witnessed the game it was a veritable encyclopedia of thrills and excitement that made this year ' s football season the weirdest in many a decade. " John F. Clifford, The Scholastic In climaxing an unusual season, the Irish could do no better than tie a supposedly weaker Southern California eleven. Wilke scored in the first ten minutes of play. In the second period, Schindler, Trojan back, cut through center then lateralled to Berry- man who ran sixty yards to score. Later in the period, Wilke threw a flat zone pass from the Trojan ' s nine yard line. Langley intercepted and, aided by beautiful block- ing on the part of the referee, ran ninety-nine yards for a touchdown. The Irish tied the score in the last quarter when California ' s own Bunny McCormick took a pass from Wilke and scored. Sidelines: That disputed touchdown on Beinor ' s recovery behind the Trojan goal line. 132
