On Friday night USC stayed close in the opening quarter to a very tough Chapman squad but was soon riddled with penalty after penalty. The Trojans spent close to a quarter playing man-down, despite this disadvantage they made a late rally in the fourth quarter but it just wasn’t enough and fell to Chapman 16-9 in their second division game. Then two days later the Trojans travelled to Claremont. USC was able to remain close throughout the whole game but just never could quite catch Claremont and ended up losing 11-6.
