I.Alirn! Tonrhdnwra Ktllv. Cosvcr- tan Bnari. BY GEORGE PUSCAS Pershing was power. Persh- ing was determination, and good fortune in the flesh. What else was Pershing? Pershing was just' too much.

The big and. strong East Siders restored the City League to football superiority Friday night as they ran over Lourdes, 21 to 7, in the 16th Goodfellow Game at Brlggs Stadium. Power, eagerness, a generous portion of the breaks all these combined to bring the Doughboys the greatest harvest of honors ever reaped by a Detroit school. WHAT IS PERSHING? Pershing is the State football champion, so acclaimed by the. Free Press and 29,46 who witnessed the ninth straight Doughboy triumph in a flawless season.

Perahlng alao Is the metro- polltan rhamplnn and that Is no small accomplishment, for nut sinre 1950 had the City League been able tn win this charity classic. These big honors, Pershing had stake. It was expected to claim them with ease. But it did not win with ease. Against team more resourceful than anticipated, the husky Doughboys had to prove themselves under the greatest pressure they have faced all season.

Lourdes was plenty tough. a a a THE DOUGHBOVS did it by eoming from behind with a 46-yard march in the first period after Lourdes had breezed to a touchdown right after the opening kickoff. They won it with a tnugh, 88-yartl, J(l-lay march in the second period, and they saved It with hardy defensive play which none knew they 1 were capable of. Lourdes gave signs that this one, like so many Goodfellow games before, might be an, amazing upset. A steady rain had dampened the field and Tershing's fleet Hal Lautenbach, who likes to outrare the ends, figured to be curtailed.

He was. Lourdes was wise. It knew the one Pershing weakness at the defensive right end, Where lame Gene Cecchinl was pressed into service, and It played to that spot through the game. It made consistent gains there, and there it made its first to 7, to Wisconsin.

In fact, the Illinl have won only one of the last sin meetings of the clubs, Michigan State will go with the ame line-up that brought It its fourth straight victory over Michigan.

Southern California, which restored Coast prestige by nosing Wisconsin, 7 to 0, in the last Rose Bowl game and which has decisions over Minnesota and Indiana this year, will play its' cross-town rival, UCLA, before an audience of some 60 million TV viewers.

The Bruins will do their best to see that it doesn't happen again when the two teams meet in their annual grudge battle, the television game of the week, Saturday. Now tied with Stanford at the top of the Pacific Coast Conference standings, the Bruins need one more victory to nail down a share of the title and to keep alive tueir Rose Bowl hopes. THEY STILL would have to get a vote of confidence from the Coast conference and that might not be forthcoming since the Uclans only loss of the year was a one-point setback by Stanford, the other contender for the Jan.
