Three players, two from Notre Dame and one from Pitt, were ejected as the No.

7-ranked Irish won their fourth consecutive triumph on the thrilling Izo-Lewis pass, the opening play of the fourth quarter. Izo pot his chance because the No, 1 Irish quarterback, Bob Williams, was tossed out with Pitt end Dick Scherer for a third-quarter squabble. Irish halfback Dick Lynch was chased for swinging at a Panther on halfback Frank Reynold's one-yard In the drive, spinning 21 yards on three straight carries to Notra Dame's 12. Sonde's swift, true boot through the uprights put the Panthers ahead 7-6. Jim Just, who replaced the banished Lynch, Ignited a spirited Irish drive from their 40 to, Pitt's 21, but Nick Pietrosanta fumbled directly into the hands ot Panther fullback Dick Bowen on Pitt's 20 and that took care of the first half.

Pitt blew one final chance in the fourth quarter after Notre Dame moved ahead. The Panthers recovered a fumble by Just on Notre Dame'i 39. Five plays later, they were on the Irish 18. But a fourth-down pass from Kaliden to Dick Haley on the Irish 10 was two yards shy of a first down. The Irish stalled out the rest of the game.

It wasn't smooth football but it was" hard hitting, jolt-'em-to-the- 'Only Protecting Themselves9 COUTH BEND, Oct. 26 Notre Dame's two players who were ejected from the hard-fought 13-7 victory over Pittsburgh were "only trying to protect themselves," Coach Terry Brennan said.

One Pitt player also was chased. Irish halfback Dick Lynch was ordered from the field in the first period for swinging at an unidentified Panther player. Notre Dame quarterback Bob Williams was ejected, in the third period for a swinging session with Pitt end Dick Scherer, who also was banished. "According to our players," said Brennan in the Irish dressing room, "Lynch and Williams were only trying to protect themselves when thrown from the game." Coach John Michelosen of Pitt declined comment on the ejections. "1 don't know what happened and Dick Shercr doesn't either," he said.

toes football. Tempers flared as early as the opening Irish touchdown in the first quarter. After the Irish had bludgeoned their way 52 yards to the Tilt one on 13 plays, Reynolds slammed across by inches. During the goal-line struggle on the play, halfback Lynch of Notre Dame delivered a rousing right-hand punch in the direction of a Pitt defender. An official spotted the blow and immediately ejected Lynch from the game.

Lynch said the Pitt player, unidentified, hit him first. Notre Dame had its misfortune later, but in its first-quarter touchdown drive, it had typical luck of the Irish. On two plays, the Irish fumbled, yet gained a total of 18 yards as end Gary Meyers recovered for Notre Dame each time. Third-string Irish quarterback Don White's conversion try was blocked by Pitt guard Dan Wisncwski. The Panthers wasted little time exploiting some puzzling Irish stiatesy which backfired.

After rolling 40 yards on the ground to Pitt's 28, the Irish elected to pass. On a fourth-down pass, quarterback Williams was nailed for- a 20-yard loss on ritt's 48. Thirteen plays later, the Panthers scored, with Kalidcn sneaking across from the one. Half-back Scisly was the big gun Pitt. NO.
